Chapter 8 Shopping

The cold chopping wind lifted the lid, and the rich fragrance came to his face, a smell he had never smelled before, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he gradually liked it.

I thought I would finish eating this strange bucket of noodles with an elegant attitude, but then I threw off my arms, solved it in a few bites, and after eating, I drank the soup clean, and then looked at the bucket noodles with regret, thinking that it would be nice to have more.

When Leng Yan came in again, Leng Chofeng lay on the bed, closed his eyes slightly and rested, but the bucket on the table disappeared.

He was secretly overjoyed, and then disposed of the table, leaving only the box with the bucket top.

Lin Qianxun filled his stomach, put Da Hei next to his camp tent, sorted out his appearance, and then followed Qiao Mosheng out of the camp.

The guards of the big camp just glanced at it, and then turned their heads and continued to stand guard, as if the sensation just now had little impact on them, Lin Qianxun was a little fond of it, and peeked at it again before leaving.

The street outside the barracks was overcrowded, and everyone was full of happy smiles, as if the war in the morning had no impact at all, and the attitude of everyone doing what they should do gave Lin Qianxun some insight.

"There are a lot of people here, and there are a lot of strangers, do you often go out to wander?" Lin Qianxun didn't have a single silver, but she was full of confidence, anyway, sometimes her mind was very useful.

"There must be about 100,000 people in this Guanshan, and most of the people who come and go to do business are foreigners. The inn also has an embroidery house opposite, a leather store, and a variety of grocery shops, most of which are run by foreigners. Qiao Mosheng has not been out for a long time, he feels that everything is fresh, and after experiencing life and death, he likes and loves all things more.

"Then let's go to the grocery store first, I think some condiments will be in there." Lin Qianxun saw the grocery store at first sight, and the name was also distinctive, marking her family name, she was a little half-guessed and half-looked, and recognized the name of the store, Huck Grocery Store, but it was down-to-earth.

"Okay." Qiao Mosheng secretly pinched a handful of silver in front of his chest, which was given by Leng Yan before going out, saying that Lin Qianxun would buy whatever he wanted, if it was not enough, he would give it back again, although this move would make people misunderstand, but he also understood that Leng Yan was naturally unable to be the master of a lieutenant general, it was estimated that it was the general's meaning, could it be that the general had an idea about Lin Qianxun, he thought as he walked.

Lin Qianxun seemed to be visiting his own home, and he entered it without being greeted by the clerk, and sure enough, he went to the name, there were many miscellaneous things, in a shop less than fifty square meters, there were three clerks alone, and their appearance was completely different from Qiao Mosheng, they had a high nose bridge, eagle eyes, and hooked nose, this typical Western appearance made people see the difference at a glance, although the appearance was different, but it did not affect the communication.

"Do you have spices like pepper and pepper?" Lin Qianxun went straight to the point, but it directly surprised the three of them, in the end, they were businessmen, and they quickly reacted and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's just that the accumulated pressure has been piled up for a long time, and it is estimated that it is moldy." A leading man, as he spoke, turned around and got into the back counter, and came out with a sack in a crackle.

When placed on the ground, the air is filled with a pungent musty smell.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Several people coughed and sneezed together, and the store was very lively for a while.

After a few breaths, after everyone calmed down, Lin Qianxun took a step forward, bent down and opened the bag regardless of the mess.

The things inside are very miscellaneous, and it is estimated that the people here do not know and love them very much, so they were put in the corner by the shopkeeper, and they have been covered with a layer of dust for many years.

"I want all of these, I don't know how much it costs?" Lin Qianxun still has some damp dried peppers and peppercorns in his hands, in fact, there are local Daqi peppercorns, and the age of use is not very long, I don't know what happened here.

"Fifty wen." The man thought about it, but when he said this, he was a little weak-hearted, these are not rare things in his hometown, he wanted to use them to make a fortune, but in the end it was still useless, so he kept throwing it away Now someone wants it, it is better to sell it.

"It's okay, Mo Sheng borrowed some money to use it." Lin Qianxun turned her head and said a little embarrassed, she had not borrowed money in modern times, but now she had to reach out to borrow money, which felt really uncomfortable, and the thing in front of her Qiao Mosheng was not a rich person, I don't know if I can take it out.

"Give." Qiao Mosheng took out a cloth bag from his arms, which was bulging, and it was estimated that there was a lot of money, so he handed it over directly, with an indifferent look, could she guess wrong.

Lin Qianxun had questions, took out the money, then looked at the grocery store again, and asked.

"If there is a thicker canvas, or something more unusual from you, if there is, take it all out, and if there is anything unusual in the future, let me know as soon as possible, I will live in a nearby barracks, and the price is easy to say."

"Something strange?" The man thought for a moment, turned back to the counter, rummaged through again, and found a bag of things, which was actually some crystals, as well as seeds such as flax and carrots.

"It's all here." The man spoke.

After Lin Qianxun glanced at it, he wrapped it up without hesitation, and finally deposited the things he had paid for in the shop, and then the two of them walked around the street again.

The people who come and go always stare at Lin Qianxun, and their eyes flashed with surprise, stunned, disapproval, etc., as if Lin Qianxun is an outlier, fortunately, she has a strong ability to bear it, so she walks on the street with a stable mood, looking at the shops on the street, sure enough, it is antique, people are also very simple, although the color is bright, but compared with modern times, weaving and dyeing, the quality is not good, and it will be worn, if you go to a larger occasion, you have to buy a good one.

Stop-and-go, holding a lot of things in their hands, and finally the two went to a ready-to-wear store, Lin Qianxun bought one or two sets, and then inadvertently talked to the proprietress, so he sold a drawing, don't look at the foreigners, but also like the mainland clothes, and Lin Qianxun's patterns are too novel and good-looking, and she also understands exotic clothes, and the proprietress chatted about a pillar of incense time, and finally made a foreign friend, and then took the newly earned ten taels of silver, smiled out of the store.

The sun is setting in the west, the morning glow is half the sky, the clouds like cotton candy are changing shapes freely, the scenery in the west is picturesque, and the evening sky is as blue as water.

The two of them walked on the empty street, seeing that it was getting dark, people were returning home one after another to close their doors, and the restaurants on both sides of the street were busy, and the faces of people coming in and out were full of satisfied smiles.
