Chapter Twenty-Seven: Visiting the Mansion City

After settling down in the inn, they have to think about the rest of the matter, and now there are more than twenty days before the prefectural examination, and they can't eat out all the time during this period, so they don't have enough money. But if you cook by yourself, you still need to buy everything, except for food and firewood. In addition, she also had to find time to inquire about the price and find a suitable medical center to sell it. It's still a lot of things, but the most important thing now is to rest, and it's time for them to take a good rest after so long in the car.

I still ate in the inn at night, and the two of them ordered a fried pork slice, a fried vegetarian dish and a vegetarian soup, and then the rice for the two people cost a total of thirty Wen. After paying the money, Yang Xue really felt that it was too expensive, so it cost thirty wen to order food, and if it was like this or simpler in the future, it would cost at least fifty wen a day in addition to rent and food. It seemed that it was more cost-effective and convenient to cook by himself, so after eating, he went to inquire with the shopkeeper about the approximate route and direction near the inn and in the city.

After hearing their thoughts, the shopkeeper didn't embarrass them, so they told them directly, mainly the street where they bought vegetables, food and firewood. The street was on the south side of the inn, and it was some distance from the inn, but it wasn't too far to walk until the time for a stick of incense arrived. And the shopkeeper also told them that the things on that street were relatively cheaper, and the quality was similar to the others.

In addition, there are five main streets in this city, which are divided into east, west, north, south, and middle. The east side is a rich area, and most of the streets are frequented by the rich, and the west side is inhabited by rich and powerful people, and the things on the street are relatively high-end and expensive. The south side is where ordinary people live, and everything is relatively cheapest. And in the end, the words on the north side were Fat Powder Street, and the shopkeeper still spoke of this street with some unclear tones, but she still understood.

She shouldn't know about it, but who said she used to love TV, so she knew a little bit about it. In the final analysis, the north is the Flower Street, and that street is basically the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and ordinary people will not go.

Finally, there is the middle street, which belongs to the main street of the capital city, and can be visited by both commoners and nobles and wealthy people. The things on the street are also good and bad, ordinary and high-end, and the prices are also high and low. For example, the street on the west side will not be visited by ordinary people, while the street on the east side is generally fine, and the rich and noble people will not surrender their status to go there.

As for the north side, there are no rules, as long as you have money, you can go, but people on North Street can't go to other streets to open shops and solicit customers, which is clearly regulated. However, some secret prostitutes can't be controlled, but as long as someone reports it, they will still enter the government.

Of course, there are other small streets besides the main main street these days, but they are usually sold by those who carry the burden, and almost no one goes to visit anyway. After roughly understanding the basic news of Fucheng, the two returned to the rented courtyard after thanking the boss, and said that they would go back to their rooms to rest after going to the street tomorrow.

The next day, the two slept a little longer, but it wasn't too late to wake up, and it was almost hour. It's also because there's no entertainment at night now, so I basically go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and when it's dark, it's around seven to nine o'clock. So in general, they still slept for about ten hours.

After the two of them packed up, they didn't eat at the inn and set off to go shopping, and this time they didn't bring much money out, a total of five taels of silver. Five taels of silver Li Bokang brought two taels on her, she brought three taels herself, and the rest was left in the inn, and they didn't say that they were afraid of being stolen or anything. Now it is the time of scientific research, and the government is still very strict in managing public security, and there are people on the street who usually change their guards to patrol the streets. This is what the shopkeeper said when they were at the inn before, and when they arrived yesterday, they did see a lot of officers and soldiers on the street.

They decided to go to Main Street and then to the South Street to do some shopping. When I came to the street, I saw that there were really a lot of people, bustling with people coming and going. Also, it's the year of the exam, and it's not too early or late to be the time when there are a lot of people, so it's not surprising that there are too many people.

Seeing that the two of them also joined the crowd, they looked around and did not buy anything, mainly to inquire about the price or listen to others talk or bargain. There are also a lot of medical centers on the street, and they also have a purpose today to see that those medical centers have a lot of traffic, grades, reputations, etc., and they have to inquire about them to prepare for selling Ganoderma lucidum in the future.

The two of them ate some special snacks and other things on the street, and they didn't eat much before they were full. The two of them first ate two bowls of wontons at the stall, and then ate some other baked cakes and balls. After eating, the two of them didn't look at the food anymore, and walked around the street for a while, and came out of the street when it was almost noon.

Coming out of the main street, the two went to South Street again, and this time they also walked around for a while, but they just walked around a little roughly, not as carefully as before. They found that there were also several medical centers on South Street, but they were not large, and they didn't look as good as the medical centers on Main Street, and it seemed that the main customers were ordinary people near South Street.

Then I bought some rice, flour, oil, salt, seasonings and the like, and went to buy some vegetables and two catties of meat, and finally went to the place where firewood was sold to see and chose a handful of firewood. said that they would help them send firewood to the inn, and they would give two more money, originally a firewood was twenty-eight wen plus two wen is thirty wen.

It was almost time for the two to return to the inn, and after giving the firewood money to the person who came to carry the firewood, the two closed the courtyard door and sorted out all the things they bought today. Because there are basic things in the yard, I didn't buy much, just like there are pots and pans in the kitchen, but there are not many, but they are enough. It's just that they don't have a well in their yard, so they have to go out to fetch water, but there is a big water tank in the kitchen, and if it is filled at a time, it can still be used for two or three days, three or four days. Of course, this is without bathing.

In addition, there are buckets and everything, so except for the trouble of buying vegetables and carrying water, the others are very good and convenient. Li Bokang went to ask the location of the well and went to fetch water, originally she wanted to help, but he said that he could be alone, let her rest for a while or do other things, in short, she was not allowed to go. And she accepted it with peace of mind, but when the matter was done, she took a stool and sat in the yard, watching him go in and out and fetch water back and forth.

Later, when I saw that he was sweating a lot, I went to the room and took a handkerchief out to wipe his sweat, in fact, it was said that the handkerchief was also raised, which was cut out of an ordinary cotton cloth, but it was twisted with a thread on the side. This handkerchief is still made by Li Bokang when he wants to take the exam this year, and she usually wipes the sweat at home and wipes the handkerchief directly with her sleeve, and she didn't even do it when Li Bokang was studying in the school hall before. Speaking carefully, she forgot not to pay attention, this time I thought that I was going to go far away, and it was inconvenient to wipe it with my sleeves, so it was not good for people to see, so I simply made two handkerchiefs.
