Gloria was basking in the sun on John's head, and when she felt John's mood improve, Goliath stretched and flew off her head. Selena saw Gloria and pulled out another candy to tease the little one. That's how Golia and Selena played. John sat in the car, his eyes slightly blank, as if he was enjoying the sun. After a while, John, who had been following the road, came to a small village.

John had noticed that the two old men would not live alone far from the gathering place. Moreover, the fact that a woman is able to go out alone with two young children also shows that their home is not far from here. Strange, maybe it was the home of the night watchmen in the countryside?

Anyway, John sat in the carriage and walked slowly into the village. Merchants are not uncommon in this small village, after all, this is the former Duchy of Griffons, now the Southern Griffon Province, and it is also an area near the border between the two countries, and many merchants between the two countries will also pass through here. Now that the Duchy of Griffon has been incorporated into the Nimitz Empire, freer trade has led to many merchants passing through here.

But even so, this is not the time for merchants to pass by. In fact, this time is not the time for the guilds to come, and the general guilds choose to do it in the summer and autumn, when it is either the agricultural slack time, and some people earn some money by working in the vicinity, or they have already harvested the crops and have stored grain, anyway, they always have plenty of time in their hands. At that time, whether it was a cash transaction or barter, it was best. And spring is just the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, the crops in the field are still growing, there are too many accidents before the harvest, whether it is surplus grain or money, everyone will save some to prevent natural and man-made disasters.

John's carriage slowly entered the village, and many people surrounded him. The merchants were people who could write and calculate, and at the same time they traveled a lot of roads and had a wide range of knowledge, making them rare knowledgeable people for farmers who might have to spend their lives in the villages. Moreover, some of the merchants had the job of a postman with the work of bringing letters from the city through which they passed, if anyone in the village knew someone in the city. However, after John said that he had not received the letter, many people left, and those who were able to stay by the carriage were those who had a lot of food in their families, and only they were willing to waste their time on shopping.

After seeing the goods in John's car, everyone was pleasantly surprised: such a good cloth and ready-to-wear cloth is much better than the linen cloth they bought! Look at this tight, look at this dyeing, if you make a garment from such a piece of cloth, it is definitely a good garment, and if you wear it carefully, you may be able to wear it for many years. When the time comes, I am changing it, and I can still wear it at home.

There was a woman who touched the blue linen cloth in her hand and didn't let go, and an aunt next to her tried to take the cloth off her hand, and tried to pull it twice, but it didn't move. The aunt didn't dare to exert herself, it wouldn't be good if it was broken, so she could only glare at her a little angrily and focus on the other items in the car. Although this roll of fabric has been snatched away, isn't there something else? The other fabrics are not bad, and the fabric of the ready-to-wear is even better, and it is not worth arguing over a roll of cloth.

The aunt thought, but her eyes saw the salted meat on the side. This season is not a good time to hunt, although it is already the middle of spring, and the wild animals have begun to fight to please the mother beast to give birth to their offspring, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a time for ferocity to be ferocious, so few hunters can go up to the mountains to hunt, and because the livestock are not fat after the winter, it is a waste to slaughter them now, so it is difficult for them to eat meat even if they are quite rich. Now seeing the salted meat, the aunt's throat moved slightly. But after thinking about it for a while, the aunt gave up asking. You don't have to think about it to know that now is the time for high-priced meat, so it's better to just ignore it than to ask about the reluctance to make people laugh.

John doesn't care what they like, as long as you want to buy it, just come over with something and ask for a price. So in everyone's opinion, John sells things very casually. And because John sells things at a very cheap price, if you still want to bargain, John won't pay attention to it, and everyone will admit it after two more people, anyway, he won't suffer.

Because the time of buying and selling was not short, when John had sold his things, an old man who looked like the village chief came up and asked, "Look, this merchant, it is not early now, and this village is not an afternoon away from the next village, do you think you will spend the night here?"

Isn't it getting early? John looked overhead. When they came out of the house of the two old men, it was not yet noon, and it could only be said that it was just after nine o'clock, although he was not fast, and it had not taken much to reach the village, and if nothing else, it was not yet lunchtime—although for the peasants, the so-called lunch was actually a meal combined with dinner, which was eaten at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and after eating it was not long before it was dark and needed to rest.

However, John didn't know how long the village was in front of him, so he agreed. The old village chief looked a little happy, and invited John to his house: "Look at you, not to mention a businessman, and with such a little girl, what a lovely little girl, and you are so thin......

John got out of the carriage and followed the old village chief to his house in front, while Marcima and Cook followed slowly with Selena. Because the so-called village chief himself is a manager sent or selected by the lord of the restaurant, the village chief's house will naturally be much more spacious than the villagers, so there are also extra rooms for outsiders to rest - of course, accommodation fees are also indispensable, which is also the purpose of the village chief. Although many of the merchants are scheming people, if they still want to buy and sell in this village, they will not offend themselves very much. The two extra rooms in the old village chief's house are for the merchants who take orders, although they have not been cleaned yet, but they are cleaned quickly and without much time, so they will naturally not let go of such an income.

John didn't know what the village chief was thinking, maybe even if he knew, he wouldn't care, it seems that he hasn't lived in someone else's house for a long time, right?
