Chapter 82: Finding Out the News
Andre and Alberta were dumbfounded as they watched the crowds in the city, carrying a pile of firewood.
For a moment, Alberta forgot about the unpleasantness just now and looked at Andre: "How should we go?".
"I don't know". Andrei shook his head quickly.
Then he seemed to think of something, and smiled narrowly at Alberta: "Do you want to go to the south of the city, I heard that there are women everywhere."
"Roll". Alberta couldn't help but get angry and said to Andre. I didn't think that I hadn't asked the teacher for the crime, but this guy dared to take the initiative to mention it.
Andrei smiled, and the feeling of helplessness was also empty: "Take one step at a time, it's better to sell firewood first."
"Selling firewood?". Alberta couldn't help but be stunned, the aging of the transformation potion was only four hours, how could he sell wood in a good time.
Seeing Alberta stunned, Andre slowly explained: "There must be a lot of traffic in the place where the business is traded, and there are a lot of news that can be heard from anywhere."
"It's better to say that no matter what, it's better than we're here like headless flies." Andre slowly explained to Alberta that buying firewood is a nostalgic thing, and he should be considered to be back to his old business.
Thinking of this, feeling the weight of the pile of firewood on his shoulder, he just took a step forward but was stunned. Which direction should I go, is it the place to sell and buy firewood? Do you want to go to the south of the city?
Wait、Seongnam。
Thinking of this, Andrei couldn't help but be embarrassed, how could he go to such a place, which did not match his glorious image at all.
Looking at Andre in a daze, Alberta shook his head and casually looked at a pedestrian: "This big brother, please stay."
"Is there anything you guys are up to?". The middle-aged man who was stopped replied to Alberta, his eyes shining with doubt.
Alberta smiled innocently, pretending to be embarrassed and scratched her head: "That's right, my friend and I came to Eyre City to sell firewood for the first time. So I'd like to ask me to tell me which place is better to sell."
"You mean the bazaar?". The middle-aged man asked Alberta rhetorically.
Alberta nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the market."
"Selling firewood is usually in the market in the south of the city, and you go all the way south and then you can see it." The middle-aged man said to Alberta.
Alberta thought of what those people at the city gate said, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly covered up: "Thank you."
"You're welcome". The middle-aged man replied casually, and then continued to walk slowly forward.
Alberta and Andre glanced at each other and walked south with a depressed expression.
......
There was a lot of noise in the south of the city.
Andre and Alberta found a random spot and put the firewood down, and several people stopped when the crowd saw the firewood in their hands.
"How is this firewood sold?". One of them asked Andre and Alberta.
Alberta and Andre were dumbfounded, who knows what the price of goods in El City is, and they really don't have much preparation for this.
Looking at Alberta and Andre, who were dumbfounded, the man couldn't help but laugh: "You two just came to Ayr City."
"If you want me to say that these two piles of firewood are worth fifty copper coins at most." Someone said to Alberta and Andre.
The other nodded in agreement: "Do you want to sell fifty copper coins?"
Listening to this series of voices, Andre subconsciously shook his head, as the previous main business, he still roughly knew some prices.
"Two piles of fifty copper coins, the price you offer is too cheap." Andrei said to the men.
Everyone glanced at each other, and it seemed that they had met a person who understood the market: "Then how much do you say to sell?"
"A pile of fifty copper coins, two piles of one silver coin". Andrei said to them.
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads, turned around and scattered. What are you kidding, it's actually double your bid. Looking away, these people must have been selling firewood in the city regularly.
Just as everyone dispersed, Charlie was seen in the crowd, and a man muttered a few words into his ear. Charlie nodded slowly and turned to leave. It seems that these two people have no problem at all, but they are too careful.
"These people have finally kicked the iron plate by picking up leaks." A cheerful voice came from the side.
Andre and Alberta looked in the direction of the voice, but saw a middle-aged woman selling vegetables: "The two noodle students must not be the people who often come to our market to sell firewood, otherwise these people would not have found you."
"Well, we don't usually sell in the south of the city." Andrei said to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman threw away a yellow vegetable leaf in her hand: "There are four markets in the south, east, west, and northwest, I don't know which market you used to sell in."
"The other three have been there occasionally, but the chopping of wood is too tiring, and it is usually sold by my family. Today is a special case, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the south of the city." Andrei said slowly to the middle-aged woman.
Alberta sighed: "My family is not in good health, but there is a wealthy distant relative who is in prison and is in prison. The family is thin-skinned, so I took my brother over under the pretext of selling firewood to inquire where this prison is."
"It would be great if I could borrow some money to treat my family." Alberta said to the middle-aged woman, her brow full of sorrow.
Hearing the word sick, the middle-aged woman showed a concerned gaze: "Who is sick in your family?"
"His mother". Andrei said to the middle-aged woman without thinking.
The corners of Alberta's mouth twitched fiercely, is this considered revenge? But in order not to go, he could only show a sad look, and with that honest face, he easily infected the people around him: "The child is not filial, he can't treat my mother, he is not filial, he is not filial."
"What a pathetic man". An emotional voice came from the side.
An old man walked up closely, and listening to these words seemed to cause a trace of resonance: "Don't be too sad, child."
"Uncle, every time I see a seriously ill old mother, my heart dies." Alberta's dying heart accentuated the tone, and the thought of Andre's revenge was mixed with a cry of shame.
Hearing this cry, everyone was in awe, and the middle-aged woman also stood up: "I can't imagine that you are so filial."
"Who of you knows that the prison is going like this, tell him so that he can borrow money to save his mother." The middle-aged woman asked the people around her.
Everyone fell into deep thought, muttering quietly one by one.
The old man stroked his gray beard and looked at Alberta: "It seems to be in the north, where you should be able to find it."
"Yes, it's just north, where else did I pass when I entered the city?" A voice rang out in the crowd.
Then everyone nodded: "Go, go, there is the prison to the north, but it's a little far."
"Thank you, thank you...... Alberta said to the crowd.
Then he got up and headed north.
The old man and the middle-aged woman saw the two of them leaving quickly, and hurriedly shouted at their backs: "Don't you want firewood?"
"The old mother's illness is serious, so these firewood will be given to everyone." Alberta generally walked forward, replying loudly.
