As soon as Wang Shuo arrived at the gate of the city, one of the leading commanders of the city guards immediately stopped him with a spear and shouted at him: "Stop! There is a strict order that no weapons are allowed to enter the city, and those who enter the city must be searched. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Shuo is very cooperative, the world is in chaos at present, and it is normal for Langya City to look like this, otherwise a group of yellow turban thieves will enter the city with weapons, and then come to the inside and outside, Langya City will not be wasted.

After some searching, Wang Shuo and the others did not carry weapons, and Wu Chang shouted: "Why do you want to enter the city? ”

Wang Shuo took out the seal of Lizheng and handed it to Wu Chang, "Wang is the head of Wangliu Village, and the Li Zheng canonized by the imperial court." Due to the war, there are many thieves, unfortunately the village was robbed by thieves, and I wanted to go into the city to see if there was any food to buy, so as not to let the villagers endure hunger. ”

Wu Chang returned the seal to Wang Shuo, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Village Chief Wang works hard for the people, admire me, please come in!" ”

This Wu Chang didn't stop Wang Shuo, and directly let Wang Shuo and the five of them enter the city, and the ground was not potholed and dirty, but neat and flat thick stone bricks, paved with cyan roads.

The city is wide, and on both sides of the street are neat residential houses, shops, inns, luxury restaurants, and deep mansion compounds, which look particularly prosperous.

It was dusk, the market had already closed, and Wang Shuo couldn't buy anything, so he had to find an inn with the five of them to rest.

Before going upstairs, I could vaguely hear the disdainful voice of the proprietress , "A group of poor ghosts, five big men only need a small room......

This is also helpless, in order to save money and sell grain, Wang Shuo must be able to save, if it weren't for the fear of the villagers' complaints, Wang Shuo would have wanted to sleep on the street all night.

Wang Shuo had money in his hand, five taels of gold, which Liu Youmei gave him, which was the money that Luzhu brought with him when he escaped.

"Brothers, the village is poor, now is the most difficult time, I hope the brothers don't care, just squeeze it casually."

"Where is the village chief, if it weren't for the village chief's take-in, maybe where would we be drifting?"

One of the men spoke, and the others responded,

"Yes, the village chief is too worried, and it is a great gift for us to have a place to sleep."

Then Wang Shuo asked Xiao Er to get a few big white steamed buns, and rested after eating his stomach.

Early the next morning, Wang Shuo got up with it, and led four people to the market under the guidance of the residents carrying wolf skins.

The market is bustling, and the vendors are shouting all kinds of goods at the top of their voices, not at all troubled by the war.

"The best tea, fragrant, rare in the world!"

"Good silk, see, this is high-grade silk! The whole market is just such a piece of cloth. ”

"Guess the word puzzle, guess a baht, guess a penny, and you will get a penny if you guess!"

A coin is a five-baht coin, which was the main currency in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when 1 tael of gold was equal to 20 taels of silver, and 1 tael of silver was equal to 24 baht, that is to say, 1 tael of gold was equal to 96 five-baht coins.

Wang Shuo said with emotion: "Xuzhou is worthy of being a place where rich businessmen gather in the world, no matter how hard you go outside, my commercial goods are still sold normally." ”

Zhou Fei sighed: "The village chief doesn't know that the bazaar was a hundred times more lively than this in the past. ”

"It seems that I underestimated Xuzhou too much."

Wang Shuo and the other five found an open space, put the wolf skin on the ground, sat down directly and began to shout, "Hey~! ”

"Come and see! Purebred wolf skin, lubricated to the touch, good quality, we don't produce wolf skin, we're just nature's porters! ”

"Take a look! Take a look! The wolf skin of Wangliu Village is croaking! Delicate, lubricated and shiny, the hair is soft and shiny. Wangliu Village wolf skin, you deserve it! ”

"You can't buy five dollars, don't worry! You can't buy protection! But you can buy it - the wolf skin of Wangliu Village! Thirty years of quality assurance, the opportunity should not be missed, what are you waiting for, do you have to hesitate? Don't take out your pockets and grab the money to buy it! ”

For a while, Wang Shuo's needles could be heard within a radius of 100 meters, and they all came over and looked at Wang Shuo in a daze, those passers-by were curious, but those vendors were because of worship, this advertisement was too loud.

Zhou Fei and the others opened their mouths, they didn't expect that their village chief would be so cruel.

"Auntie, you come and touch it to see if I'm lying."

Seeing that no one came forward to buy it, Wang Shuo had no choice but to pick up a wolf skin and walk to an elderly woman with a sneer, and began to sell it.

"Oh~, thank you, I don't sell it, I still have to go grocery shopping."

The woman reacted immediately and walked away with the basket of vegetables.

The crowd of onlookers also dispersed, and some even spoke:

"It's crazy, it's already summer, and you're still selling furs......"

"Only a fool would buy it......"

This example warns Wang Shuo that no matter how loud your advertisement is, the product is the last word.

Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, now that the beginning of summer has just passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it seems that no one really wants fur, and the grain planting process will be accelerated, and in about half a month, the cultivation season will be missed.

Just when he was depressed, a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt walked over, followed by more than a dozen people, all of them with long tigers and bears' waists, and they looked like they were good at all.

The middle-aged man took the initiative to touch the fur in Wang Shuo's hand and said: "Although it is not as good as what you shout, it is also a rare good wolf skin, and it is not bad to make leather armor for the children, I bought it all!" ”

"Huh? Oh! Good good! ”

Wang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, he didn't expect that someone really bought wolf skins, and immediately smiled: "A total of twenty-five wolf skins, one hundred and twenty-five coins." ”

Wang Shuo took the money, and when he passed by the fabric store, he remembered that Liu Youmei had not changed her clothes for a long time, and spent 20 yuan to buy two beautiful fabrics, and blamed herself in her heart: Mei'er is sorry, her husband has limited funds now, so she can only buy some cheap cloth for you.

Then he happily ran to the grain store, the boss was a fat man with a big belly, Wang Shuo got straight to the point, "Boss, do you have any grain to sell?" ”

"Yes, how much do you want?"

Wang Shuo took out the five taels of gold that Liu Youmei gave and handed it to the boss, "I want to buy five taels of gold grain." ”

When the business came to the door, the boss immediately smiled and said, "Strong man, please wait a while, I will arrange it." ”

Soon a worker came over with a small cart, and there were two large bags of grain on the cart, and the boss immediately smiled and said: "Zhuangshi, your grain is here, a total of 230 catties, and this cart is given to you by the small store." ”

"So little?" Wang Shuo couldn't believe it.

"You profiteer, why do you only give such a small amount of grain!"

Zhou Fei was even more furious and grabbed the boss's collar directly.

The boss hurriedly said: "The strong man is angry! The small shop definitely did not take advantage of a penny, the current war is raging, the grain has long been in short supply, the price of grain has skyrocketed, strictly speaking, four taels of gold can only buy 224 catties, and the extra 6 catties are still sent by me. ”

Wang Shuo thinks about it and feels reasonable, now food is a living thing, even if it can be bought, it is good, who cares about the price, the price of grain will naturally soar.

"Zhou Fei, stop, let's go!"

Zhou Fei was unwilling to let go of the boss, and together with Wang Shuo, he bought some tools for making a house, plus a few cauldrons, and some dishes and chopsticks.

After a lot of work, the time was already in the afternoon, and Wang Shuo had little money left, he looked at the four people behind him who were sweating profusely but worked hard, and said with a smile: "Brothers, what do you want to eat later, just tell me!" ”

Anyway, I can't go back today, so it's better to have a drink, and I haven't been to Langya City in vain.

Zhou Fei and the other four immediately cheered and said:

"I want to eat meat buns!"

"I want a flatbread!"

"A bowl of white rice is enough......"

Everyone's requirements are very low, and it seems that a bun and a flatbread are already a very happy thing in the world.

Wang Shuo carried a dry item back to the inn in the disdain of the proprietress, and then killed directly to the restaurant, today Wang Shuo wants to be extravagant.

But as a result, when I looked at the menu, as long as it contained meat, it was more than five yuan, according to Xiao Er's words, now that the war is raging, it would be good to have food.

There was no way, Wang Shuo and the others could only order five or six bowls of clear soup and little water, but they were also shivering, so they were not happy.

"Wow~!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the restaurant.
