Chapter 31: Candle Town
After the initial excitement, Ah Huan's sleepiness struck again, and he fell asleep on Yun Rong's lap.
Seeing the fragrance of her sleep, Shi Zikang and the others also consciously stopped talking.
"Godmother, how long will it take to get here to town?" Qingdai leaned against Yun Rong and asked in a low voice.
"It's coming, it's going to be more than an hour away."
It will take more than two hours, and when Qing Dai heard this, her heart felt that she would have money in the future, and her expectation that she could go shopping in the town often gradually cooled down in reality.
They still ride in an ox cart, and it takes so long to go out shopping.
If you rely on walking, this one round trip will almost have to be delayed for a day.
In this era of going out and walking, it is so inconvenient to travel, Qingdai sighed silently in her heart.
I have strengthened my belief in making money.
You have to make money, and if you make money, you can move to the town and live, and how convenient it is to go out shopping and buy things!
"Qingdai, you can sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's almost time." Yun Rong whispered.
Raising her eyes to look at the still dark sky, Qingdai answered sweetly.
Leaning on Yun Rong's other leg, he closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
The ox cart staggered and drove all the way to the town.
"Qingdai, Ah Huan, wake up, we'll be here soon."
Yun Rong's gentle call sounded in her ears, Qing Dai rubbed her eyes, slowly sat up and began to look around.
As far as the eye can see, there are households around the town, and the houses here are much better than the buildings in Stone Village.
On the side of the road are low walls made of gray bricks, and the ridges of the walls are covered with blue-green plants, which look a little like creepers, but the top is full of yellow flowers.
Qing Dai looked left and right, and at this time, the sky was bright, and many people's homes were bursting with smoke from time to time.
The town not far away is white, and from a distance, it seems to be shrouded in fog and hazy, but it is not real.
As the bullock cart got closer, a little noise in the town gradually came to my ears.
As the sound came, the appearance of the whole town and the towering archway at the entrance gradually became clear in my eyes.
"Candle Town." Qing Dai said in a low voice: "What a strange name, not poetic at all. ”
"Hahaha." Shi Zikang said with a smile: "This candle, the candle refers to the lamp, and our town is famous for the lamp."
"Don't look at our small town, but the lamps we have here are famous, and there are many people who have not yet made lamps.
Among them, the most famous is that Washington, the lamps made by Washington are the best in terms of style and quality.
"In its heyday, the lamps in Washington were honored to be presented to the emperor, so they were named after candles."
Speaking of this, Shi Zikang and the others all had an expression of pride on their faces.
Regardless of whether they are from Washington or not, as long as they belong to this town, they are extremely proud of this matter.
"Washington is so powerful, so do they still live in this town now, and do they still offer lamps to the palace?"
Qing Dai was also a little surprised when she heard this, such a small town actually had a royal thing.
"It's gone, and the family moved away after the defeat of Washington a few years ago."
Shi Zikang said and sighed, if Washington could continue to prosper, this town would not be what it is now......
"Why did you lose?" Qing Dai said curiously.
"I don't know the specifics." Shi Zikang shook his head and said, "I only heard that it was the eldest prince of the mansion who had an accident at the beginning.
Then the Hua family began to have frequent strange things. Later, the lamps made by the Hua family were not as good as before......"
"What kind of weirdness?"
"Okay, these old things still mention him to do, let's go in quickly."
Without waiting for Shi Zikang to answer, Yun Rong was the first to interrupt.
Qing Dai noticed her slightly ugly complexion, and her curiosity was even more intense, but she didn't ask any more.
These foreign ox carts, donkey carts, etc., are generally not allowed to enter the town.
If you are soliciting, you will naturally wait outside the town, and if you are driving from your own home, there is also a special parking place on the edge of the town.
Qing Dai took a general look, this is actually equivalent to a modern simple parking lot.
Specially supervised, naturally have to pay the corresponding parking fee.
After setting up the ox cart, Shi Zijian first carried Ah Huan and Qing Dai off the ox cart, and then went to carry the back basket placed on the cart.
Zhao put a total of two back baskets for the meat to be sold, and Yun Rong and Shi Zijian carried one by themselves.
Shi Zikang also carried a burden on his body, and there was the book he had to hand in today.
Originally, there were still a few days before the time to hand in the books, but since he was coming to town today, he also copied these books overnight last night and brought them along.
Everything was packed, and the few people did not delay any longer, and walked towards the town.
When you enter the town, you can see the rows of houses neatly arranged, and the gently upturned eaves look like a beautiful smile on the face of a delicate girl.
It was still early in the morning, but the streets of the town were already full of vendors and pedestrians.
Stepping on the bluestone slab under his feet, looking at the small bridge and flowing water not far away, and the rows of red walls and gray tiles, Qingdai has a sense of authenticity in ancient times.
Candle Hua Town is famous for making lamps, and not long after a few people walked in along the street, Qingdai had already seen many shops selling lights.
"Let's go, let's go to the vegetable market first." Entering the town, Shi Zikang took the lead in giving orders.
"Going to the vegetable market?" Shi Zijian was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that it was sold directly to a restaurant?" ”
"It's been a long time since the family bought meat, and we don't know what the price of this meat is now.
"I have to go to the vegetable market to know what kind of price is right for a while." Shi Zikang explained.
"Yes, yes, yes......" Shi Zijian patted his head when he heard this, and smirked: "Look at my brain, why didn't I think of this, fortunately, the second brother came together." ”
Yun Rong looked at the burden on Shi Zikang's body, and said softly: "Zikang, there is still a long way to go from the vegetable market here."
"Just look at the price, my eldest brother and I can go to the vegetable market, you don't have to toss back and forth with us, you go to Mr. Zhuang to hand over the book first."
"My brother and sister are right, it's just to see the price, where do you need so many people to go together.
"Second brother, it's tiring to hold these books, so you can go and hand in the books first, and we'll meet at the door of the restaurant in a while."
"Listen to Big Brother." Shi Zikang nodded with a smile when he heard this, turned his head to Qing Dai on the side and said: "Qing Dai wants to see calligraphy and painting, just go to Mr. Zhuang with me, and we will go to the gate of Dingfeng Building to meet your godmother and them later." ”
Generally, the meat in the restaurant is very booked in advance by the vendors, and someone specially delivers it.
If they come to sell it rashly, if the price is right, the restaurant will naturally be willing to accept it.
It's just that the meat they want to sell is not small, and if they want to sell it all in one restaurant at once, they naturally have to find a larger restaurant.
Dingfeng Building is the largest restaurant in Candle Hua Town, if they can't collect so much, then this meat can only be sold separately.
