Chapter 116: Quirky Pavilion
Gu Yuqiao put on her hat, raised her head and asked Lu Nanxing: "Second uncle, are you free in the afternoon?" I want to buy something, can you take me there? ”
I am not familiar with the county, although it is better to find a woman to go shopping together, but the little aunt Lu Manjing must be working in the hospital at this time, and the second uncle can come out to hang out, which is undoubtedly empty.
As a dart master, he still has a certain amount of connections, and it is better to have him with him than to walk around blindly.
Lu Nanxing waved his hand when he heard this, "Let's go, the second uncle just received his salary and will take you to eat delicious food." ”
The girl touched her little belly that had eaten a bunch of snacks, "No, I want to go to the port to see." ”
"What are you doing there?"
Lu Nanxing muttered, and when he saw that his niece had already walked away, he didn't say anything more and raised his heels.
The port of Yang'an City is not small, but it is also the current dynasty - that is, the Great Chu State was opened as a treaty port three years after the founding of the country, so although it is not small or particularly large, it is still expanding.
The merchant ships docked here are mainly from the Great Chu State, and business comes and goes from the south to the north.
Gu Yuqiao asked about the port's trade with the outside world, and Lu Nanxing naturally knew everything.
"In the past few years, there have been merchant ships from other continents coming to our Nanzhu Continent, but they have not brought anything good, but they have purchased our porcelain, tea, and silk on a large scale, and Yang'an Port is one of the main ports for them to purchase tea."
"And what did they bring with them?" The girl wondered, could there be something as good as peanuts?
I want to eat peanuts, and the peanut oil is also very fragrant.
She is looking for some good and practical crops to plant in her own field to test.
It is said that corn was brought from the previous dynasty when the foreign port was not closed, while sweet potatoes were only brought from the Xibai Continent three years ago, and these two crops solved the problem of hunger of poor farmers.
Lu Nanxing scratched his head, "I don't know, but there is a shop near the port called 'Strange Pavilion', which sells things from other continents. That is, the ladies and ladies of rich families will often visit and buy some strange things as gifts. ”
The girl's peach blossom eyes seemed to be shining with starlight, "Just go to that store!" ”
The port was a little far from the city, and the two walked for half an hour to reach the "Wonder Pavilion".
Gu Yuqiao didn't expect that the so-called fan shop was not selling the local products and food she imagined, but the glass, that is, the glass.
The most in the store are glass lamps, which are simple in style, but there are not a few in number, and there are other glass products.
The pricing is not cheap, basically based on 100 taels.
At first glance, it looks like a luxury store.
The guy was stunned when he saw Gu Yuqiao's dress at first, and then stepped forward with a smile, "Two guest officers, what do you want to buy?" ”
Gu Yuqiao was a little surprised by his attitude, he didn't have a snobbery?
She glanced around the furnishings in the store and asked directly: "I'm more interested in eating, do you have any fruits and vegetables like sweet potatoes?" ”
When the guy heard this, he became more enthusiastic, "Yes, please come with me." ”
Gu Yuqiao was even more surprised, how could he be happier than himself?
The two were led to a corner, and Gu Yuqiao saw the peanuts and potatoes on the shelves, and his eyes lit up.
Sure enough, there is something good!
The man smiled and showed her a few peanuts and potatoes.
"If the guest officer wants to buy this kind of ready-made fruits and vegetables, we have planted some other ones in the backyard of our store, but the price is very expensive."
