The other car looked a little smaller and a little older, but the horse pulling the cart was very energetic, with black fur all over his body, and he was very clean.

There was an honest man standing next to the carriage, looking younger than Uncle Wang, who should be the second bolt that Aunt Niu said. But he seems to have a problem with his left leg, and when he stands up straight, one shoulder is high and the other shoulder is low, which should be a leg problem.

Erzhuo nodded at Su Jinyao and said, "It's me." Let's get in the car. There are few people in the car today, and after waiting for a cup of tea, I will leave without seeing anyone coming. ”

Su Jinyao got into the car and said, "I'm going to the city from Datong Town, please wait for me in Datong Town for a while, I will definitely come back by car." ”

Hearing this, Erzhuan frowned, and said, "The weather is not good today, it's been cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain." You're going to the city, and you're going to get back and forth. If you don't see anyone coming for a while, then I'll just pull you to Datong Town, and then keep waiting, isn't it a loss. ”

Su Jinyao also made sense when she heard this, and if she was alone, it would be good if she didn't say anything.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao simply said: "Otherwise, I'll charter your car and go directly to the city." In this way, you don't have to run empty, and I don't have to go to Datong Town to take another car. You can follow me to the city, and you can calculate how much money you want. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Erzhuo lowered his head and thought about it, then looked at the weather and said, "Okay, I'll do the math for you." A trip to Datong Town is seven copper plates; If you take a ride from Datong Town into the city, you will have to ask for eight copper plates back and forth, and this alone will cost fifteen copper plates. But you are a chartered car, and I will only take you back and forth from the city alone, and I won't ask you much, give me twenty-five copper plates. And it's not a carriage in the city, and you have to collect money when you enter the city. The car that pulls people will receive two yuan per person, and the car that pulls goods will receive five yuan per car. If I'm going to go into the city with you, you'll have to count my money for the city, or I'll wait for you outside the city. ”

Although Su Jinyao didn't know how far it was to go to the city, it was not too expensive to charter a bus to the city for twenty-five yuan. It should be similar to a modern taxi, and there is no toll booth on the highway for long distances.

Su Jinyao agreed: "Then Twenty-five Wen, can we leave now?" ”

The second bolt looked left and right again, and indeed no one came. Not to mention his car, even Uncle Wang's carriage to Ning'an Town next to him was only two people.

The second bolt said: "Okay, let's go." Then he said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, my chartered car is gone." If someone comes over for a ride, you can let me know and say I'll go tomorrow. ”

Uncle Wang promised: "Okay, I know." It's not too early, and I'm leaving. After an hour, no one will come, so you can leave with confidence. ”

The second bolt agreed, picked up the whip and shook it, and the big black horse stepped on its hooves and walked with great strides.

Su Jinyao also looked at the road on the left and right, and said to the second bolt: "It's okay, if you meet someone on the road who wants to go to the city, you can also take it, which can be regarded as a convenient trip." You can also collect as much as you want, and I should give you twenty-five wen here, and I won't give you less, after all, it's not easy for you to run back and forth, and the horse also needs to be fed. ”

Su Jinyao's words were very generous and reasonable, and the second bolt smiled when he heard it, and said, "Then thank you, girl." If there are too many people, I will charge you less than five cents. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and didn't speak. After all, she plans to charter a car, so she won't care about the five pennies. It's really like Su Jinyao said, if someone takes a section on the same road, it will be convenient.

The horse ran very fast, and when he left the village, he spread his hooves and began to run. Although the carriage was a little old, it was still sturdy, and it did not make a harsh "creaking" sound on the road. In addition, there are cushions on the seats, but I don't feel so uncomfortable.

Sitting idle, Su Jinyao asked, "At this speed, how long does it take to run to the city?" ”

The second bolt replied: "As long as it doesn't rain and you keep running so fast, there will be an hour." If it rains, it's hard to say, it depends on whether the road is good or not. Instead, the second bolt asked Su Jinyao again: "Little girl, what are you doing in the city in such weather?" Is it to go to relatives? ”

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "I want to do some small business." But the family is poor and the capital is small, so they can only go to the city to see if there is any suitable livelihood, and they have a plan to come back to raise money. ”

The second bolt said: "That's it." It's not easy for you to be a little girl. ”

After walking for a while, the second bolt said again: "There is a fork in the road ahead, if you take the main road, you will pass through Datong Town, and then go to the city." But you can bypass Datong Town by taking a small road, which is relatively close, and you can save a lot of time. Little girl, which way do you look? ”

Su Jinyao said directly: "Take the path, go around." If you really can't pick up people, when you come back, you can shout in the city, and someone can take a ride along the way, and you can earn some points. Now I still want to get into the city early, after all, time is tight. ”

Su Jinyao is the owner of the chartered car, so it is reasonable.

And the second bolt can ask her, obviously she is also a very practical person, and she didn't think about taking a detour to Datong Town to pick up a few more people. So the second bolt agreed, and drove the carriage onto the path.

Although this road is said to be a small road, it is much better than the road out of Pingshan Village. In this way, it is a lot closer. Fortunately, the sky was beautiful, and it didn't rain on the gloomy day, and the dark clouds above were thin, and there was a little sunlight shining through.

"Little girl, if you can get a sunny day in the afternoon, I'll wait for you a little longer. Anyway, the car you chartered, let's go back a little later, and we can come back on time. As he spoke, he flicked his whip again, keeping the horse running at a constant pace.

Su Jinyao also looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "I've heard that it doesn't rain across the road, maybe this cloud is floating here, and it's really a sunny day in the city." ”

Erzhuan smiled: "Then wait." I'm talking about it. ”

Su Jinyao smiled, not only did she look forward to a sunny day in the city, but it was best to let her meet a good deal.

In this way, it was not until he could see the city in front of him that the second bolt slowed down the horse, and then asked Su Jinyao: "Little girl, did I follow you into the city with this carriage, or did I just wait for you outside the city?" ”

Because the second bolt made it clear before, you have to pay a capitation fee to enter the city. However, one person has two cents, and the two of them have four cents, which is not much.

Su Jinyao asked, "Is this city big?" If I'm walking around the city for a day, can I get around? ”

The second bolt said: "This Anji City is not small. It's just an old city, and you can see that the walls are broken, and it looks quite inconspicuous. If you walk faster, you can walk a circle in a day. However, if you want to find an opportunity to do something small, you don't know. You see, I'm not a trader. It's just to drive the car, but the legs and feet are not very good. ”

Su Jinyao knew that he was telling the truth, and he was also a little humorous, so she smiled and said, "Then do you want to go into the city to have a look, or do you want to wait for me outside?" Once I was in town, I walked around on my own, for I couldn't find a chance in the carriage. However, if you want to go into town too, I'll pay for it and go in together. Agree on a place and time, and when you've had enough, you'll be there and wait for me. ”

The second bolt should want to enter the city, so it seems a little embarrassed. He looked up at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, and said, "I'll take you into the city." And then you will be taken directly to the bazaar. After all, not all of the cities are for trading, and there are also official yamen and places where ordinary people live, and you don't have much to see when you go to these places, and you waste time in vain. ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, this was very good, and she didn't have to go into the city to ask around for directions. Then he said, "Okay, then let's go in together." ”

Erzhuo was also very happy to hear it, and it was estimated that it would not be easy for him to come to the city. What's more, now that someone has chartered a car, it is also very good to be able to give him two cents to enter the city.

When I arrived at the city gate, I looked up and saw three red letters above the city gate: Anji City. The city wall is indeed quite broken, but it has a rustic and deep charm. It's not like the so-called ancient cities that Su Jinyao has visited in modern times after repairs or renovations, those places have become nondescript, and they are no longer authentic ancient charms.

The gate was quite large, but it was blocked by a fence that divided the gate into two parts, one large and one small. Carriages and horses go on the bigger side, and pedestrians go on the smaller side.

The second bolt drove the car over, there were a lot of people entering the city, but there were not many cars and horses, so there was no need to queue up, and almost walked over and paid the money to go directly into the city.

The streets of the city are very clean, and a large road in the middle is paved with stones, but no cars and horses are allowed, only pedestrians.

The second bolt said to Su Jinyao: "That is the official road, and only the carriage and horses of the official master can go." Usually, the official does not patrol the streets, but pedestrians can walk. When patrolling the streets, you have to avoid it in advance. Little girl, are you entering the city for the first time? If it's the first time I've been here, I'll tell you that you'll have to get around it when you hear the gong. ”

Su Jinyao really didn't know what to avoid, nodded and said, "I remember, is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

The second bolt said again: "It's gone." The official doesn't come out often, and he doesn't embarrass the people, so you don't have to be afraid. ”

As he spoke, the second bolt drove the carriage to another street. The road is also quite spacious, paved with loess and gravel, and tamped. On a rainy day, the ground will not be muddy, but will look clean.

After walking two streets further, Erzhuo Lama stopped and said to Su Jinyao: "This street is a market to the south." The road is narrow, and it's hard for the carriage to turn around when you go in, so I'll put you down here. If you've had enough of wandering around, come to me over here, I'll look around, and I'll be waiting for you at the junction. However, it is best not to exceed three hours, after all, it will take an hour to go back. ”

Three hours is six hours, and it stands to reason that this is not a short time.

Su Jinyao understood that these two bolts were willing to wait for him here for six hours, and he was really a real person. He said, "Thank you, I'll count the time." If you know about the carriage and horses here, you can also ask and see if anyone is on the same road as us on the return trip, and you have not waited for this day in vain. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say that he agreed to take someone back, even if he hadn't pulled one more guest yet, he was full of thanks.

Su Jinyao took out another twenty-five copper plates and gave them to the second bolt, and said, "Give the car money first, you count." ”

"This, how embarrassing is this. Actually, there is no need to rush to give this money, I believe in the girl, and I can give it back again. The second bolt said this, but he didn't shirk it, and put the copper plate away, looking very happy.

Su Jinyao got out of the car and walked forward, took a few steps to think about it, and looked around. I saw a small shop not far away, and there was a large cage drawer at the door, which sold pasta. Su Jinyao walked over and asked a white and chubby young woman next to her, "Eldest sister, what are you selling here?" ”

The woman said: "Steamed buns, steamed buns, bean paste buns, and sugar buns are all available." The buns are filled with meat and vegetarian, and the sugar packets are brown sugar. ”

Su Jinyao: "How to sell it?" ”

"Meat buns cost five cents a piece, vegetable buns and bean paste buns are all three cents a piece, steamed buns are two cents a piece, and sugar buns are two cents a dollar each."

"Then bring me two sugar packets." Su Jinyao handed over the five pennies and said, "Excuse me, use two lotus leaf bags for me." ”

"Okay." The woman agreed, took a large lotus leaf with her hands and feet, tore it in half, wrapped two sugar packets and handed it to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao took it and said "thank you", and then walked back with the sugar packet. The second bolt who was driving the car saw Su Jinyao coming back before he left, and he didn't know what she meant, so he asked, "Little girl, I didn't see you leave anything behind." ”

"No, I didn't come back after dropping something. I wonder if you're going to have to wait a day here. It just so happened that I didn't have anything to eat at noon, so I bought two sugar packets. One of you and one of me, can cushion your stomach. Su Jinyao said, and handed over a sugar bag wrapped in lotus leaves in her hand.

A sugar packet is nothing, and it can't make a man as big as Erzhuo full, but Su Jinyao's heart is good. The second bolt rubbed his hand on his body before taking it, and thanked him vigorously, but he didn't know what to say again.

Su Jinyao smiled, wrapped her sugar packet, put it in the baggage she carried, and then left.

This time, Su Jinyao has a long memory, and she has to prepare lunch first. If she really finds a good opportunity, she will have to get busy, and she is afraid that she will not even be able to eat. When the time comes, eat a sugar bun on top, and you can save yourself from going back late, hypoglycemic attack.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao's eyes fluttered slightly, and she couldn't help but think of Gu Xuebin who seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and she didn't know why he didn't come.

"Alas, what do you want him to do, but I don't want him to carry it." Su Jinyao secretly stomped her feet, and sped up her pace after speaking.

Following the path pointed to her by the second bolt, Su Jinyao quickly found the bazaar. This is worthy of being in the city, and such a market is much larger than the market in Ning'an Town. However, there are not so many people, and it is estimated that it is also related to the local area.

Su Jinyao stood on the side of the street and looked at it, there were shops on both sides of the street, and there were many stalls and burdens on the side of the road. But there were not many people shouting, and they didn't feel noisy and messy.

The people who go shopping are also stop-and-go, and they don't see how anxious they are, but there are more people hanging out and fewer people rushing to the market.

It stands to reason that in such a market, there will be no particularly sought-after items to be sold. It's also hard to sell ordinary goods here.

Su Jinyao stood and watched for a while, and knew that the one she shouted at in Ning'an Town before might not work. Not to mention old things, even if they are new, they may not be able to sell all of them at a good price. It seems that there are many so-called opportunities in the city, so you still have to use your brains more.

didn't have a good idea for a while, so Su Jinyao planned to take a walk on the street first to see what business opportunities there were.

Although Su Jinyao came today to raise money, she didn't think that there would be any big gains from a trip, and she didn't plan to get a lot of silver as if she had won the lottery in one day or one moment.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there will be no pie-in-the-sky goodies. If you want to get rich, you have to find the right way, and you have to see the right time.

There are many shops on the street, and there are a variety of goods, which is very complete. And Su Jinyao listened attentively to others buying things and asking for prices, and found that the things here were cheaper than those in Ning'an Town. It is estimated that there are many supplies in the city, but the price is not high.

After walking for a while, Su Jinyao passed by a small stall and heard the old woman selling things shouting at her: "Little girl, look at you so smart, buy a mirror." The best bronze mirror is also reasonably priced. ”

Hearing this old woman shouting about the bronze mirror, Su Jinyao remembered that in Lijiatun before, the young girl was funny and teasing herself, and asked her to get her a bronze mirror.

Su Jinyao had a heart, turned back and walked towards the stall. I saw that there were many large and small bronze mirrors on this small stall, round, hexagonal, and plantain-shaped; There are also those with and without handles. The workmanship is also thick and fine, and the patterns are different.

Su Jinyao smiled at the old woman, squatted down and looked at it first.

However, there is a particular point in selling mirrors, which is that the back of the mirror faces outward, and the mirror surface should be buckled inside.

Su Jinyao can only see the pattern on the back now, not the front. Su Jinyao asked, "Can I pick it up and take a look?" ”

"Naturally. If you don't take a look, how do you know if my mirror is polished well? The old woman nodded and said.

Su Jinyao chose a round, palm-sized bronze mirror and picked it up. In fact, it was the first time she looked in the mirror since she crossed over. Because the Su family is too poor, there is no mirror at all.

Other families in the village may have them, but how could Su Jinyao go to someone else's house to look in the mirror. So when I wash my face in the morning, I just take a picture in the basin.

Now that the bronze mirror is in hand, Su Jinyao is still a little nervous in her heart. She looked like herself in the basin, which was somewhat distorted and not real enough. Although this bronze mirror is not as clear as a glass mercury mirror, it is certainly much more real than what is reflected on the surface of the water.

Although Su Jinyao was a killer in her previous life, she was also a cold and glamorous beauty, coupled with a strong aura, she was an absolute queen.
