Chapter Forty-Nine: The Price Problem in Lin'an City

The huge size of Lin'an City is beyond imagination, and the closer you go, the more you can feel the magnificent momentum, like a giant dragon lurking between heaven and earth, and the momentum is majestic. The whole Lin'an City www.biquge.info opened twelve city caves in the three directions of the southwest and north, and even so, the tourists, merchants, hawkers, ordinary people and peasants who enter and leave Lin'an City every day are enough to block it.

Li Molan and Qin Li, a big girl who was about the same height as herself, surrounded the entrance of the city gate, and there was still a long queue. At this moment, it is already afternoon, but the queue is extremely long, I am afraid that it is already the beginning of the lights after the capital, but fortunately, today is not as cold as a few days ago, and there are no scattered snowflakes in the sky, so it is okay to wait a little.

Entering the city is mainly to check some things, unlike Xunyang City, Lin'an City does not prohibit those swordsmen and swordsmen from bringing their weapons in, after all, it is the foot of the Daomen, who dares to make a time, ordinary people can't hurt the cultivators even if they hold weapons, so the Daomen does not have any requirements for this, just to check some other things, such as poppy and other early drugs, and to check whether there are criminals mixed in it, in addition, for the hidden weapons such as crossbow arrows and other things are not allowed, some special crossbows can even be killed by cultivators, which is strictly forbidden。

These sergeants obeyed the orders of Lin'an Mansion, and of course Lin'an Mansion represented some of the will of the Daomen.

When it was Qin Li and Li Molan's turn, the North Sea Dragon Elephant wrapped in cloth behind Li Molan was asked to take it out and take a look, after all, it looked very mysterious when it was kept so carefully, and even Qin Li was very curious. However, when the people around them saw that it was just a plain and impermanent iron sword, they all scoffed, especially when they also looked at the small wooden sword on the young man's waist, and secretly thought that he had never seen the world, and an iron sword was so carefully kept.

Looking at the sergeant's suspicious expression, Li Molan carefully explained: "The ancestral divine sword is indestructible. ”

The sturdy sergeant, who probably had a third-grade martial arts kung fu, rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I know, let's go in." ”

This speechless expression was exactly the same as the expression that the man in white showed when he heard the words of the ancestral sword.

Qin Li covered his mouth and snickered.

Li Molan reluctantly took the lead in the city, although the sergeant didn't believe it, but he really didn't have much of a lie, the Dragon Elephant Sword was really a divine sword.

The package was carried by Qin Li on her back, after all, she was an adult, Li Molan was a teenager, and there was no gentlemanly concept in this world, so there was no need for all the things to be carried by the young man alone, so she volunteered to bring the coil and the like with her, and the two people looked like refugees who had fled from outside the city.

Li Molan and Qin Li walked in the long and dark North Gate City Cave, and saw from a distance that the street scenes and light in the city were blended into the small glowing round hole in the distance, and finally entered Lin'an City, the two of them were in a particularly good mood, leaving behind the boredom and boredom when they had just queued at the door, and their steps were much brisker.

"Xiaolan, let's enter Lin'an City, where will we live first?" Qin Li weighed the silver taels in the package, very confident. When Li Molan was in Songzhou, he looked for money and exchanged the silver ticket for silver taels, all of which were put in the package, even if the lights of Songzhou asked for a lot of silver on them, now their entanglement is still as much as five hundred taels, with Qin Li's understanding of prices, it will not be a big trouble to live in Lin'an City.

"The five-year opening assessment of the outer gate of the Daomen, and the opening assessment of the inner door of the Daomen are all in March, and it is still early January, we have to live in Lin'an City for at least three months, and we can't always live in the inn, so even if I give me another thousand taels, I think I can waste it all, or buy a piece of land directly, if the rest of the money is frugal, it should be ...... Maybe...... Probably...... Possible...... Can it last until March?"

After speaking, Li Molan himself began to be unsure, the price of Lin'an City should be expensive in his personal feeling, after all, it is a big city, and there is absolutely no reason for good quality and low price, otherwise how can the face of a big city exist? It's just that with the lifestyle of the two of them who don't have too many pleasure requirements, it shouldn't cost too much, right?

After all, whether it is Qin Li, a girl from the countryside, or Li Molan...... It seems that he is also from a rural area, and although he doesn't spend a lot of money, it is really difficult to live in Lin'an City, and it is difficult to find a suitable job.

Qin Li touched the bulging package with some happiness, felt the hard touch of silver inside through the cloth, and hesitated: "Then let's go and settle down where we want to live first?" But it's not early, and it's about to get night, so let's find an inn to stay for one night first, and then go to find a place to live tomorrow, right?"

Li Molan felt that this was reasonable, and nodded: "I still save a lot of money, anyway, I will buy a house tomorrow, and it will be no problem to find an expensive inn for a night today." ”

Hearing Lang Yi's unique statement, Qin Li immediately thought of a lot of bad directions, and then his cheeks were a little crimson, but fortunately, Li Molan, who was walking in front, didn't see this scene.

There were a lot of people in Lin'an City, more than anywhere Li Molan and Qin Li had seen, whether it was the morning market in Xunyang City, the downtown in Songzhou City, or the most crowded people in those villages and towns outside Lin'an City, they could not compare with the picture they saw at this moment.

Li Molan remembered her previous life in those international big cities, and it was probably the most lively time at night.

It is worthy of Lin'an City.

Walking on the streets of Lin'an City, you can perceive the prosperity and spaciousness of this Xiongcheng from all aspects of the details, and the width of the street alone is one hundred and sixty meters - Li Molan does not believe in evil, and really calculates according to his own steps, from the left side of the street to the right side of the street, it is indeed about one hundred and sixty steps, which makes him really convinced that one street in Lin'an City is wider than the three streets of Songzhou City combined!

However, such a wide street, except for the middle for cars and horses to pass by, the left and right sides are still bustling, and the young man in green shirt and the girl in white are a little tired through the crowded crowd.

I am used to walking on uninhabited paths, but now I feel a little uncomfortable walking on such wide but crowded roads.

On the left and right, there were chivalrous warriors with swords walking by, with resolute faces, looking like martial arts, but shy in their pockets.

There is a man with a child riding on his neck and his wife shopping, and the family is happy, such a family can be seen everywhere on the streets of Lin'an.

There were customers haggling with the shops in the streets, and there were also some ragged young beggars screaming and scolding when they were caught stealing something.

At the intersection of the street, there was a strong man with a big stone on his chest, and a little girl with a knife and a gun was performing, and was watched by at least 100 people, and the applause continued.

On the side of the alley, there is an old man selling sugar gourds, and there is a small shop selling wonton dumplings in the depths of the alley, and business is booming.

......

There are people everywhere, this is the lively Lin'an City, this is the most real fireworks in the world, and the snow-white holy mountain that you see when you raise your head is like a palace in the sky, and the cultivators in the Dao Gate are the immortals in the fairy palace.

Li Molan listened to the laughter in the teahouse and the melodious silk and bamboo in the green building, and saw that night fell, and then countless lanterns and torches lit up, lighting up the entire Lin'an City like daylight, wanting to obscure the starlight.

His eyes swept over the women in Lin'an City, probably not looking for something good-looking, Li Molan turned his head and said, "Let's go find a restaurant for dinner first." ”

Qin Li, who was already hungry, nodded seriously, looking like he was really hungry.

I didn't look for a restaurant on the street, because the two of them had been prepared to adapt to the frugal life in advance, and turned into a small alley. Even the small alleys of Lin'an City are not ordinarily wide, they look like streets, and you can often see vendors selling various snacks on the left and right sides.

In a restaurant, Li Molan carefully inquired about the price, and finally her face changed again and again, and said, "This ...... Forget it, I'm still young, I can't drink wine and eat meat like that, just have a bowl of wontons, ah yes, I want to eat vegetable wontons, yes, I'm a vegetarian. ”

A bowl of vegetable wontons actually costs 50 copper coins? A bowl of meat wontons actually costs 100 copper coins? Oh my God, do all the prices in Lin'an City come with a zero? In this way, one or two pieces of silver can only eat 20 bowls of vegetable wontons in Lin'an City, or 10 bowls of meat wontons?

Li Molan, who was originally very confident in her own economic situation, turned pale, and in an instant she was full of worries about the country and the people, just like the dedicated Mingjun on the temple of Dongyu, full of worries about the life in the next three months.

Qin Li waited for Xiao Er to leave, then he looked at Li Molan with an incredulous expression and asked, "Xiaolan, can we really live in Lin'an City for three months? Did he quote the wrong price just now? Why is it so expensive?"

Li Molan's eyes were blank, she was silent for a long time, and said: "Let's find an inn at random, forget about those luxurious inns, our financial resources, it is better to be a man with our tail between our legs in Lin'an City." ”

Qin Li put away the kind of expression that would make people laugh and nodded seriously.

The two countrymen looked a lot lower after receiving the initial blow, of course, Qin Li did not forget the obligation of being a sister when eating wontons, and gave some meat wontons to Li Molan, but was immediately rejected by the young man's righteous words, and when they came out of the restaurant, looking at the night sky lit up by lights, their mood was like a wind and snow in winter, biting cold.

Turning an alley, I found an inn casually, of course, this kind of casualness still has some comparisons with each other, some inns that seem to be very large and have a lot of people were denied by Li Molan at once, and he took the big girl behind him who had never seen the world to shuttle through the labyrinthine alleys and alleys in Lin'an City, and finally found an inn that didn't look big.

Their economic strength is five hundred taels, and it costs ten taels of silver to stay in this small inn here, in other words, if they stay in the inn all the time, they can support it for fifty days, less than two months, but in the middle they always need to eat and drink, even if the shabby clothes do not need to be replaced, but you go to the bathhouse to take a bath at least once or twice a month, right? After all, they are not the kind of gods who take a bath once every six months, in fact, even in winter, Li Molan's bathing frequency is relatively high, and in summer, once a day, so looking at it this way, their entanglement may not be able to let them live in Lin'an City for a month.

"It's over, it's too prodigal when I'm in Songzhou, I eat restaurants that are famous, and I also sent some rouge powder to Huang Li'er's girl halfway, oh my God, I should have asked He Xingge to borrow two thousand taels, why wasn't I greedy in the first place?" Li Molan sat on the edge of the bed in the inn and muttered to herself, her eyes empty and scary.

Qin Li sat aside, a little embarrassed. She didn't understand what "wave" meant, but she could vaguely guess it, but now the focus is not this, in order to save money, two people only need one room in the inn, and one room naturally only has one bed, how is this good?

Qin Li, who was a big girl and a little girl, remembered the look of the innkeeper downstairs when he heard that the two of them were living in the same room, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then saw that the kid next to him didn't notice it, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

Li Molan finally noticed the crimson on Qin Li's cheeks, and secretly thought about what was going on with this eldest sister, who had blushed all day and night recently, suddenly remembered this stubble, and hurriedly said, "I don't sleep at night, I want to meditate." ”

The little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.

......

......

(ps: Don't think I'm verbose, I can't write about the prosperity of Lin'an City if I don't write it like this, it's easy to give people a fake feeling of emptiness, in fact, I've deleted a lot.)
