Chapter 195: We Want to Check It Out
Many of the farmers on the wharf have been converted into small shops. The front is the façade and the back are the residents. Men go to farm, and women can receive people at home who can't catch up with the boat, and they can earn some silver.
Now it is the autumn harvest, and the wharf is in the off-season, and business will be very hot after the autumn harvest.
Yuan Bao took Changming to a noodle stall to eat noodles. By the way, ask about the price of accommodation.
After inquiring, I found that the price given by the old woman just now was the lowest. But it's not a room for one person. After moving in, Yuanbao will live in a room with his wife, and Changming will live with her man.
As if you were a relative's family for a night, you could earn ten copper plates a day.
Tut-tut!
If the location is good, you can come with any money!
Too rare here!
Everywhere is a business opportunity. It's still a small village, so prosperous and simple, it's rare. Most people in this village have the surname Zhang. It's not easy for people with foreign surnames to squeeze in.
What a pity!
People come and go in the village, and the merchant ships don't just go to Licheng. There are also boats to Xia Yong and Shudi. Because of transnational reasons, the ship is a black ship, and the time is also long, only one in half a year. What a boost in knowledge!
The two of them go to the dock all day long to watch people come and go, and some of the things from other places will be sold to the county seat.
It's not out of the county yet, it's just a wharf, and you can already see how wonderful the outside world is. Changming was a little excited!
Yuan Bao estimated the money brought by the two of them, and poked Changming and said.
"The ticket to Licheng costs two taels of silver for an adult. We are still children, and the two of us will give two taels of silver. The journey was a three-day, two-night boat ride. The things on the ship are expensive, so we'd better bring dry food. ”
They inquired about it when they lived at the old woman's house.
Eat the food on the ship for three days and two nights, not to mention the problem of whether it is clean or not. A serving of fried rice costs thirty copper plates. It's still a little fried rice. Yuanbao can eat ten bowls without rest. The cost is also too great.
Dry food insurance!
The two of them bought a lot of cakes at the docks. It's hard enough to knock walnuts. I was hungry after eating.
Ready for everything, Changming and Yuan Bao went to squat on the dock again. I heard that there will be a boat to Chayon in the evening. It's really lucky to see what Captain Black looks like.
The two squatted in a row on the pier, holding spring rolls in their hands and eating them.
As the night approached, a cold glow began to glow at the junction of water and sky, and a small boat appeared in the river. The bed was densely packed with people. One by one, they held the baggage in their hands and put them in their arms, and curled up tightly into a small ball.
The steward of the ship saw that there were two people on the dock in the dark, and paid a hundred taels of silver for the fare.
The two children squatting on the pier are particularly conspicuous.
The steward may be idle and teasing the two children.
"Are you two going to Xia Yong? Don't pay for the boat, I'll give it to you for free. ”
When the words fell, the steward smiled very ill-willedly.
Yuan Bao stood up and pulled Chang Ming over to block him. When the steward saw it, he immediately smiled and bent over. A girl is so bold. I also protect the boys.
The steward joked that he had to let the two children get on the boat. Get off the boat to catch someone. Yuan Bao raised his foot and kicked the steward into the river, pulling Changming to run quickly.
The steward went into the water, because he could swim, and he was not panicked, but he lost face and scolded for a while. Ships stay at this pier for a quarter of an hour and don't really stay to catch people. The steward is doomed to lose this time!
Yuan Bao pulled Changming and ran to a haystack to hide, it was not safe to hide in someone else's house. Waiting for the boat to Xia Yong to leave, he slowly went back to sleep.
