Chapter 92: Yuzhou City
In the afternoon of the same day, Su Yingxue and his party entered Yuzhou City.
Yuzhou City is adjacent to the land of Bashu to the west, and this place has also become an important trading place. A lot of transactions related to Shu were mostly completed here, and then transported to all parts of the country by many merchants.
When the carriage drove to Dongdajie, Su Yingxue looked out of the window and saw the group of people in dark blue narrow clothes going to a tall courtyard.
It's a post station!
Sure enough, there is an official position. Caiyun also saw it, and turned his head to see Su Yingxue and smiled.
It was not easy to find an inn, and after settling down, Su Yingxue took advantage of the fact that it was still early, so she asked the shopkeeper Tong to go out together to see the scenery of Yuzhou City.
On the street, all kinds of shops are crowded with people, bustling and noisy. Outside the shop, there are a lot of cars parked and filled with all kinds of goods.
"Uncle Tong," this time, Su Yingxue has changed the title of the shopkeeper Tong, "Just looking at this scene, the prosperity of this Yuzhou City should have surpassed Fengcheng and become the first business city, why don't you mention it?" ”
The shopkeeper Tong smiled and said: "Childe doesn't know, although this Yuzhou City looks lively and prosperous at the moment, it is just like the flowers of spring, and only this season is the busiest in a year." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Su Yingxue asked curiously.
"Yuzhou City is the only place for the land of Bashu to go to the mainland, and the road in Shu is difficult. In autumn and winter, the road is even more difficult, and the people in Shu are trading in spring and summer. And because after the beginning of spring, the goods that the Shu people had collected for most of the year were continuously transported, and then they gradually decreased. Therefore, this time is also the time when merchants from all over the world who sell Shu goods flock here. And the items needed by the Shu people were also transported by merchants at this time. ”
Su Yingxue nodded while listening. She herself is not deeply involved in the world, and the shopkeeper Tong has been in the business for many years, and has a lot of friends with many merchants, so she naturally knows many things well.
It's just that with such a prosperous atmosphere, can you also get a piece of the pie?
Su Yingxue told the shopkeeper Tong what she thought in her heart.
The shopkeeper Tong pondered, and said after a while: "It's not impossible, it's just that the output of goods in Shu is limited, and most of them are in short supply. ”
"And then there's the sale. These goods are going to the mainland, although the sales are not worried, but at the moment we have not dealt with these industries, we can't make the best judgment, but I am afraid that even if we buy goods, we may not be able to make a profit as we wish. ”
When Su Yingxue heard this, she suddenly remembered what Dong Wan asked Qin Ziqing to bring. Remembering that she had only been a few days at the beginning, she helped herself find the dozen or so shops and shopkeepers of various lines, and immediately decided to write to Dong Wan immediately when she went back, explaining the situation here to her and seeing if there were any suitable people.
While walking, Su Yingxue saw many people in strange costumes, and their appearance and dress were very different from those of the Central Plains.
The shopkeeper Tong said: "Shu is rich in products and famous all over the world, and these Hu people also take advantage of this season to buy. ”
Hu people?
When Su Yingxue saw Hu Ren for the first time, she couldn't help but be curious, so she took a few more looks. I saw that most of these Hu people have deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and darker skin than those of the Central Plains. Su Yingxue was only focused on this, so she didn't pay attention to her feet and stepped on a person's foot.
"Ahh A childish cry of pain.
Su Yingxue looked down and saw that it was a five or six-year-old little boy with a white face as cute as a porcelain doll, combing his drooping hair, wrinkling a small pink face, pouting, and looking at himself viciously. Su Yingxue looked at this very cute child, she was both loving and sorry, and hurriedly squatted down on her knees.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to. That's it, I'll buy you rock sugar gourds to eat, don't be angry, okay? ”
"You want to buy me with a rock sugar gourd, you can't help but underestimate me." The little boy still pouted after speaking, but his tone was suddenly full of sighs, "This is a new shoe that my aunt sewed for me herself, and I was trampled on by you before I got on my feet." ”
Su Yingxue followed his gaze to look at the shoes, the water blue cloth, embroidered with two lifelike little tigers lying in the grass. This embroiderer is delicate, and the best silk is used. Look at this child again, he is wearing clothes of the same color, and the edges of the clothes are embroidered with exquisite silk patterns.
Children of rich and noble families. Su Yingxue looked behind him, and no one followed. I can't help but wonder, this kid?
"Little brother, why are you alone on this street, your family?"
The little guy immediately looked at Su Yingxue cautiously, his eyes full of defensiveness. It's just that it's full of threats.
"Let me tell you, my father and aunt are eating tea and listening to books upstairs over there, don't you want to kidnap me!"
Su Yingxue and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and the little guy saw it and glared at him viciously.
"Okay" Su Yingxue pinched his fleshy face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't abduct you." How nice it is to keep a cute little guy like you, wouldn't it be a pity to sell it. ”
"Hmph" The kid tilted his head to the side and broke out of Su Yingxue's hand. "I'm telling you, I'm not that easy to mess with."
Su Yingxue couldn't help laughing, rubbed his little head, and said, "Okay, I won't mess with you." "But it's really unreassuring for such a child to be on the street. Su Yingxue ordered Caiyun to buy rock sugar gourds and sugar people to come over, and asked the kid something. I asked him why he sneaked out into the street alone since he came out with his parents, was it too boring to drink tea, and did he want to go somewhere?
The child was originally very defensive, but when he heard that drinking tea was boring, he nodded decisively. "Daddy went too far, lied to me and Auntie and said that he would accompany us to the street to buy delicious and fun food, but as soon as he came, he went with Auntie to listen to someone and left me aside. Those books, aren't they just like that, they're just some things about love, love, and grievances, what's so good to hear. ”
Su Yingxue opened her mouth wide, how old is this child, love and love? Grievances?
"Who said that?"
The child said with a disgusted face: "My aunt said it." However, my aunt always loves to listen to these things. Every time I heard about the book, I kept criticizing on the side, saying that the place was not good, that the place was not real enough, or something, but whenever she went to the street, she didn't go once. Alas, women, there is indeed a difference in heart. ”
Su Yingxue opened her mouth wide again, this child's mother, really, dare to say anything to the child.
