Chapter 67: The Morning Market

Lao Cai waved his horsewhip, wishing that the horse in front of the wheel could be faster. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two horses pulled a cart and galloped on the official road, but they looked quite anxious.

The wide official road stretches to the east, and at the end of the horizon, a magnificent capital looms over the plain, where Lao Cai will eventually go.

As the carriage galloped, the gates of the giant city became clearer and clearer, and more and more pedestrians appeared on the official road.

"Yo~ Lao Cai, it's still early, I'm in such a hurry, and I'm not going to be reincarnated."

"Lao Cai, the car is driving so fast, the market is open today, you are going to be the first place."

"Lao Cai, running so fast, it's not kind...."

Lao Cai's mind was obviously not on the people around him who greeted him, he just nodded and coped, and then continued to drive his carriage forward, as if he couldn't catch up with anything.

Finally, Lao Cai's carriage finally began to slow down.

If you don't slow down, you can't do it, the front is already blocked.

Under the city gate, which is about ten zhang high, the city gate is closed, and the front of the city gate is crowded with carriages and people.

But no matter who they are, they all carry large bags and small bags, carry burdens, and push carts a little better, and the best is the people who drive the carriages, and look at the ones they carry in their hands, the burdens they carry, and the carts put on them, all of which are full of dazzling goods.

There are more than 100 kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, assorted teas, cloth and silk, porcelain and iron pots, and at a glance, they are like the treasure pavilion of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, all of which are treasures.

Before the sun had risen, and just a short time after the morning, the four soldiers defending the city, with misty sleepy eyes, stood at the gate of the city, listlessly watching the crowd that had gathered more and more, they had long been accustomed to the scene before them.

"Brother Yuan, it's three poles in the day, why don't you open the city gate yet~" In the crowd, a man with a burden and a somewhat shrewd appearance shouted to a soldier guarding the city.

The soldier named Brother Yuan glared, pointed to a circle hanging on the city gate, and scolded: "Fuck it, look, it's not even 6:50 now, how dare you say that the sun is three poles." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Lao Cai also laughed, it was only 6:45 now, and there were still fifteen minutes to leave the city, which was enough for him to drink a cup of tea.

Just as Lao Cai just wanted to take out the tea set and drink a cup, next to him, a slightly young man with a big bag on his back approached him.

"Brother, what do you call it?"

Lao Cai glanced at the man, as if he saw himself half a month ago, and then he said to the man with a smile: "My surname is Cai, just call me Lao Cai." ”

"Brother Cai." The man complimented.

"There's no need to be so polite, look at you like this, new here." The smile on Lao Cai's face became even bigger.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is all seen by you, I heard from my fellow villagers that Cangzhou is now exchanging grain for things, and there is a lot of money, so I hurriedly got some family specialties to sell in Cangzhou, I heard that the morning market is a big business, and I came with it today." The man looked a little cramped.

"Hehe, you've come to the right place in this morning market." Lao Cai smiled: "What are you selling?" ”

"Pecans, and the tea leaves we grow ourselves."

"Tea, that's a good thing." Lao Cai nodded.

"Yes~" The man also looked very happy, only to see him take out a tea cake from the big bag on his back and hand it to Lao Cai, "Brother Cai, you can taste the tea leaves on our mountain, they are all pickled, and they are definitely not worse than those tea cakes bought in the market." ”

"Hmm~ then thank you." After receiving the gift, Lao Cai was even happier.

"By the way, Brother Cai, you came directly in a carriage, what are all the things in the carriage?" The man asked curiously.

I saw Lao Cai smiling, "All I put on the carriage are iron pots and porcelain." ”

"Huh? Is this iron pot porcelain easy to sell in the city? ”

A good deed person next to him heard it and sighed, "Young man, the new arrival, now in Cangzhou City, the best things to sell are iron and porcelain, one pound of things for ten pounds of rice, it's not a problem, Lao Cai has made a lot of money with this!" ”

Hearing people's words of envy, Lao Cai didn't refute it, just smiled.

This also made the young man envious.

Soon, fifteen minutes passed, and the four soldiers guarding the gate slowly opened the gate and struck a huge bronze bell hanging on the tower.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~Knock~..."

As the bell rang, the merchants outside the castle tower were like sharks smelling blood, and they frantically rushed into the city.

Lao Cai invited the young man to sit in his carriage, and as soon as the city gate opened, he rushed into the city.....

........

Fang Xiaowu came to Cangzhou for the first time.

He was originally from Wulian Township, Texas, but some time ago, someone suddenly went to their township to recruit young people to work in Cangzhou, saying that they would give ten catties of rice in three days.

Fang Xiaowu didn't go, because he never believed that there was a job in this world to give ten catties of rice after three days.

But a month later, with the return of a group of fellow villagers, Fang Xiaowu realized what regret is.

The young people who went to work in Cangzhou all earned a lot of money, and they earned too much food to bring back, so they directly exchanged the grain for silver money or easy-to-carry goods in Cangzhou.

The real money and white flowers, the living standards of the young people who went to work suddenly improved a lot, which made Fang Xiaowu beat his chest even more and regretted it greatly.

So after hearing that Cangzhou is now recruiting merchants to buy and sell things in the morning market, Fang Xiaowu immediately prepared some goods and wanted to come to Cangzhou to test the water.

Fang Xiaowu was unaccompanied, and he didn't know what to do anywhere, but fortunately, when he was waiting outside the city gate this morning, he met Lao Cai.

Lao Cai is very enthusiastic, he is very friendly to tell Fang Xiaowu what to sell to make money, where to sell, and how much to sell, which makes Fang Xiaowu grateful.

What moved Fang Xiaowu even more was that in the morning market this morning, Lao Cai actually agreed to take him into the city to do business, this care can be said to be a great kindness, Fang Xiaowu also decided to wait for himself to Tengda in the future, and he must repay Lao Cai as a guide....

........

The city gate opened, and countless people began to slowly march towards the city in order.

Fang Xiaowu sat in Lao Cai's carriage, his eyes widened, and he looked at the new Cangzhou City in front of him.

There were new roads, new houses, and a lot of things being built everywhere, and Fang Xiaowu was dizzying to see it.

Lao Cai, who was sitting next to Fang Xiaowu, took a sip of the teapot, and said leisurely: "This is Xincangzhou City...."
