Chapter 60: Finding Out the News

The coolies in the slums west of the city went out early and returned late, carrying flat burdens and dragging tired bodies, and they were already numb to the days, but they did not know that the house next to them had ushered in a new owner.

They are not very human, but young people with martial arts!

Xu Hao, Xu Cheng, Zheng Fan and Zeng Rou moved in unison, like four streamers moving in the small courtyard.

For two hours, with little rest in between, the four of them finally stopped completely.

Their faces were flushed, their bodies were drenched in sweat, and after they went back to the house to rinse themselves, they changed into new clothes, Zeng Rou was wearing a red cloth cotton jacket, and her family conditions were the best among several people.

Except for himself and Xu Cheng, the clothes of the other three people were all bought by Xu Hao before, since he came to the county town to do business, of course, he can no longer patch patches like in the past, especially the thin wolf Bigfoot has no family at all, the clothes were sloppy in the past, and the days have passed without a day, and it is a miracle to be alive.

Each of the three of them had a set of new padded jackets with gray faces, and Xu Hao bought them back.

At dawn, the sun was setting, and Liu Sheng also ran back, and they gathered in Xu Hao and Xu Cheng's house to take out the rhinoceros meat and white flour buns they brought.

It can be eaten by heating it up a little over a fire, and it doesn't need to be cooked hard.

"Huhu ......" several children were hungry, gulping down, watching several companions gobble up like wolves. Liu Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief, even the gentle and lovely Zeng Rou let go of her reserve and shook off her cheeks with everyone and ate a lot!

This is not to blame them, several people are indeed hungry, becoming martial artists, and exercising every day will consume a lot of physical strength.

The diet must have meat and even ordinary meat is overstretched, only venison or rhinoceros meat is sufficient, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for the need for blood growth. This is also the reason why ordinary people can't practice martial arts at all without money.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng simply followed suit and ate a lot.

"Liu Sheng, how about going out to the store?" Xu Hao stopped his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice holding half of the white bread in his left hand.

Several other people hurriedly slowed down their swallowing speed, and their eyes shone brightly, the Jin Yitang is everyone's hard work, whether they can gain a foothold in the county city or not, all depends on this.

"Hmm. Liu Sheng nodded, swallowed, and said in a deep voice: "The rent of the store is very exaggerated, my legs are about to break, there are two in total that are quite suitable, there is a shop in two alleys behind Yantan Street, which is called Yantan Street, close to our small courtyard, the difference between the street and the small street is relatively large, but it is okay, it was originally a hotel but the rent is twelve golden beans." Of course, there is also a shop in the northwest of Shuiluan Alley, which is also suitable...... The price is also ......"

It was as if his focus was on the second place, but he was interrupted by Xu Hao just as he was about to open his mouth.

"It's biased, right?" Xu Hao asked in a deep voice, one sentence pointed out the core of the problem, he has lived for so many years and has a wide range of knowledge, no matter how smart Liu Sheng is, he can't hide the change in his expression.

"Huh. Liu Sheng's face was slightly red, and he hummed while scratching his head vigorously.

Everyone frowned and looked at Xu Hao, of course it was the boss who had the idea at this time, the whole twelve golden beans were sky-high at all, and they had completely exceeded the budget.

"Take me to talk tomorrow. Xu Hao didn't make an immediate decision, because the location of the store was still important, and the starting point of the Jinyitang was decided, and the development of the starting point was also fast, and this matter had to be handled personally.

Looking around at everyone, he suddenly found that everyone's demeanor seemed to be a little too tight, and all of them had dignified faces, which was not a good thing. Xu Hao took a breath lightly and smiled helplessly: "Forget it...... Now that you're here today, and your daily cultivation tasks have been completed, I'll allow you to go out for a while, see the world, and see how the chosen shop is. ”

His last sentence made the eyes of several other teenagers suddenly light up! After all, they are children, and their childlike innocence is always there. When you come to the county town, you can't go shopping, and it's inevitably itchy.

In fact, Xu Hao was willing to come out in the end, mainly to check the store in advance. Some things still need to be done by yourself.

It was getting dark, but the county town was brightly lit.

Awning boats hang oil lamps and shuttle through the rivers in the city, surrounded by bright houses, women washing with wooden sticks, children running around, and the shadows of the lanterns are full of light, although it is winter, but the warmth of the city is shining highly.

The market is more lively than during the day, especially Haitang Street, as the central street of Cloudsdale, is brightly lit and gathers a large number of established shops.

Many shops, in addition to the plaques, are hung with strange wooden signs.

"That's the industry ...... of the three major merchant groups," Liu Sheng introduced in a deep voice, pointing forward to the shops that also hung wooden signs: "In the entire county town, the industries of the three major merchant groups account for almost half of it, and they all have their own logos. ”

Xu Hao nodded silently and stared carefully at the signs. or a black eagle head, or a spotted snake head, or a mighty bear head, with different shapes but exuding a chilling and domineering spirit.

"Get out!" Suddenly, the two guards at the door of the Wang family's store in front of them shouted, and they were blinded and asked Hanako to run to the store to beg, and they were soon beaten away.

Guests are welcome, but if there are those who don't open their eyes, dare to be in front of the shops of the three major business groups, it will never be good!

Xu Hao and others continued to move forward, Haitang Street was bright and green, warblers and swallows, lively and noisy, and the county town had everything here.

Most of the pedestrians are dressed decently, or carry long swords, or hold folding fans, and they are all symbols of status in this cloud city.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and if they look more decent than others, they will be the first to be taken seriously.

This can't be blamed on the philistines, because this place is a place for the rich and noble to spend their money, and ordinary people can't afford to spend it at all, so there is no other use here than to occupy an area that is an eyesore.

Walking to the center of Haitang Street, the flow of people is sparse, but the shops are more and more quaint and generous.

"Tianyun Pharmacy...... Miaoshou Tang ......?" Xu Hao immediately noticed the two big pharmacies in front of him, and immediately came to his senses, although he had never been here, he had also heard of these names.

The so-called three sentences do not leave the bank, shopping at will, almost all he thinks about is a pharmacy.

Xu Hao stopped his figure, stopped a hunchbacked old man in a black cotton robe carrying a sack on his shoulder, stretched out his hand to point to the pharmacies, and asked softly, "This old man, may I ask...... Who owns the Heavenly Fortune Medicine Store and the Miaoshou Hall?"

Today, he is here to inquire about the news, and he can accurately locate this place with a deeper understanding and macro concepts.

"Huh?" the old man glanced at him, but he didn't expect to be stopped by such a kid to inquire about the news. Instinctively turned around and glanced at the pharmacy that Xu Hao asked, and instantly smiled proudly: "This is the first time for you to come to our Cloud City, right?"
