Li Yichen walked in front with the bag of medicine, and the two girls followed behind and walked out of the doors of the seven stores together.

After the three of them went out, they walked directly in the direction of the market. Although it was already afternoon, since it was the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it would take four days to wait until the next market, so there were still people everywhere, and the sound of selling and bargaining was everywhere along the way.

Walk about 50 meters from the seven shops to the market. The whole market is located in a huge open space, about 100 zhang long and wide, surrounded by a few scattered shops, more shops, behind each shop there are one or two people, some shouting loudly, some busy doing business with customers. Most of these stalls are from nearby villagers, who take advantage of the market to bring vegetables and grains grown at home, or some wild animals brought from the mountains to sell in exchange for some money. There are also special vendors who sell some specialties from far away in the market. There are even some residents around the town who sell things they don't use at home. Therefore, the goods on the whole market are also dazzling, and there will be something different in each market, and if you are lucky, you can still find some good things.

In fact, in ancient times, Tangjiang Market Town was still a wild hilly basin, and only a few families surnamed Lu and Lan were scattered around. Since the Tangjiang River was the only passage to Longtan in the entire Shenlong Empire, a large number of adventurers came to the Tangjiang River by boat, and then went from the Tangjiang River to Longtan and Wuwuling.

Although Longtan is one of the four Jedi in the Tianyun Continent, it is full of dangers, but dangers often coexist with opportunities, as long as you are lucky enough and strong enough, you can still find some treasures in Longtan. Not only is there the dragon grass and dragon blood wood unique to Longtan, but also Zhu Guo and Xuezhi are often found, plus all dragons like to collect some shiny things, if you just in time for the dragon to go out and find his cave, it not only means gold and silver jewelry, but also may have the best weapons and armor, and even ancient martial arts cheats are possible. At that time, Lu Shidi's qualifications were only ordinary, and later he found a broken martial arts method on the periphery of Longtan, and cultivated to the peak of the heavenly position by cultivating the martial arts method here.

Longtan, as one of the four Jedi in the Tianyun Continent, although it cannot be said that there is no life in ten deaths, it can also be said that it is a life of nine deaths, but the nature of martial artists is to take risks, and only under the pressure of life and death can they seek breakthroughs.

More people mean more demand. At that time, Lu Taigong saw this business opportunity, so he united the Zhong family, Guo family and Xing family in Tangjiang Town, hoping to find a vacant land in Tangjiang Town to build a market.

The patriarchs of the major families are also decisive people, and everyone sits down to communicate with each other and feels that opening up a bazaar is more beneficial than disadvantageous to the major families, after all, a family needs to develop not only needs geniuses, but also needs a lot of resources, only with a large number of resources can those gifted descendants in the family be able to cultivate with peace of mind, without having to run for life. And now to open such a bazaar, as long as you participate in it, you will definitely be able to get a lot of profits, if you can get a certain say in the management of the bazaar, then the whole family will have a qualitative improvement.

Since opening a bazaar is beneficial to everyone, several patriarchs decided to open a bazaar in a few words. After a war of words, the Lu family accounted for 30% of the entire market, the Zhong family accounted for 30%, the Guo family 20%, and the remaining share was divided among the smaller families.

The major patriarchs are also decisive people, and after determining their respective profits, they will set the time for the opening of the market on the first day of the next month. Because the Tangjiang River is on the edge of Longtan, and the time of the hour is just the time when the dragons are raining, the patriarchs simply set the time of opening the polder at the time of the polder.

People within a radius of 100 miles are more happy to hear that Tangjiang is going to open a market, as long as the market opens, then the family planting, hunting in the mountains, and fishing in the water can be used in the market to exchange money or other daily necessities.

On the day of the opening of the polder, people from all over the world gathered in Tangjiang with their burdens, ready to see the bustle of the opening of the first bazaar within a radius of 100 miles, and at the same time to do some trading by the way.

As soon as the hour came, Lu Taigong and the patriarch of the Zhong clan each lit their eyes on a dragon dance, and in an instant, bells and drums rang out in unison, firecrackers rang out in unison, and people celebrated the opening of the market with a celebratory dance.

"Bang"

Just when everyone was singing and dancing to celebrate, suddenly a loud noise came, everyone fixed their eyes to see, an iron spine dragon just fell on the drum surface, the drum shook the sky, it turned out that there was a big goshawk grabbing an iron spine dragon flying from above, was frightened by the firecrackers and gongs and drums below, the claws were loosened, the iron spine dragon caught on the claws fell, just smashed on the drum surface, and beat the drum. Just when everyone was still stunned, Mrs. Lu stood up and laughed:

"Ha, ha, ha, folks, you see that the heavens are congratulating the opening of our bazaar, and a dragon has been specially lowered to beat the drum for us, under the protection of God, everyone's business will be prosperous, and our bazaar will also develop and grow. ”

Maybe it's because he chose a good and auspicious time when he opened the polder, or maybe it's because God is really looking after Tangjiang. Since the opening of the market in Tangjiang, everyone's business has been booming and its reputation has become more and more famous. There are even people who come to Tangjiang to do business.

Winter nights always come earlier, even though the sun is almost halfway up the mountain by the time it arrives. When Li Yichen and the three of them walked into the market, although there were still crowds of people everywhere, there were also some families who lived far away and were ready to start closing their stalls. As soon as she entered the market, Li Xinyuan saw that there were anchovy fruits sold next to her, so she took Li Yichen to buy two catties.

This anchovy fruit is a specialty of Fenggang, this fruit tree can only survive next to Fenggang, if transplanted, then only grow leaves and no longer bear fruit, can only be used as an ornamental plant. Because the leaves look like the tail of a phoenix, everyone calls this tree a phoenix-tailed tree. This anchovy tree bears fruit once a year, with golden flesh, sweet and juicy taste, and is covered with a thin layer of skin.

"Brother, come, open your mouth. ”

I saw Li Xinyuan gently peel off the skin of the anchovy fruit, and handed a piece of anchovy pulp to Li Yichen's mouth with his thumb and forefinger.

Li Yichen bit lightly with his teeth, and the film wrapped in the pulp and juice was bitten at once, a large amount of juice flowed out, and suddenly his mouth was filled with a fragrance, and the sweet juice went down his throat into his abdomen, and immediately rose from the abdomen A hot stream rose from his abdomen, which warmed his whole body a lot.

At this time, the people who came to catch the market were all going out, ready to go back, and Li Yichen and the three of them walked against the flow of people to the center of the market. Just take a walk around it. Shopping is worthy of a woman's nature, as soon as she enters the market, Li Xinyuan is like a fish into the sea, look here, touch there, occasionally stop and stand in front of the stall and bargain with the boss, although not necessarily buying, but enjoying the fun of bargaining. Even Yin Junyu looks quiet and quiet, but she seems to have endless energy when she walks around, and when she bargains with the stall owner, she even feels a little louder than usual.

Li Yichen followed behind the two women in every bored way, his eyes looked around aimlessly, and his hands were full of large bags and small bags, a free manpower porter. When the three of them walked to the market center, it was already a little dark. Those who came to the market, whether they had bought the right items or not, would also speed up their pace and go outside, and the stall owners would stop shouting at the customers, and let the customers look slowly at the stalls, while they began to sort out the goods that were a little messy.

"Xinyuan, you see it's getting dark, grandma must be cooking at home and waiting for us to go back to eat, let's almost go back, right?"

Li Yichen took a few steps forward and whispered in Li Xinyuan's ear.

"Brother, let's take a look at what is in the stall in front of us and go back, shall we?"

After Li Xinyuan finished speaking, she dragged Li Yichen to the front, and at the same time turned back and motioned Yin Junyu to hurry up.

After walking a few steps, the three of them came to a small stall, a small cart carrying goods, and some items were messily placed on the cart, some animal skins, some picked herbs, and some scattered small things.

Looking at the stall owner's appearance, he is a hunter in the mountains, about forty years old, short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, years of hard work, so that the face is full of vicissitudes, wearing a black wolf skin made of shoulders, wolf skin is just after simple processing, it looks a little gray.

Scanning the fur of the animals on the truck with his eyes, Li Yichen found that although the fur was relatively well processed and there were no obvious wounds on it, they were relatively small, and they were the fur of some small animals, and it was not very useful to buy them back.

I flipped through the pile of herbs by hand, and found that they were all very ordinary herbs, and due to the wrong method of picking and processing, most of the medicinal properties of these herbs were lost. For example, there is a seven-star grass in it, which was originally one of the main medicines of Shengjisan, and the medicinal herb shop usually sells one or two silver per plant, but this seven-star grass lacks more than half of its roots, and only four of the seven leaves are left, as if it was pulled out of the soil directly, resulting in this seven-star grass basically having no medicinal properties.

As for those scattered little things, Li Yichen looked at them and shook his head even more, there were some small stones washed up from the river, a few beads, two or three small iron boxes and some other small objects that I don't know what they were. A little better is a few small dolls carved from Artemisia wood in Li Xinyuan's hands, Artemisia wood can exude a faint smell and repel mosquitoes, so some people will use Artemisia wood to make some small ornaments to carry around. But the artemisia wood dolls in Li Xinyuan's hands are only carved with branches, not with the heart of the tree, so the effect of insect repellent is only average, and these dolls are carved relatively dullly, and there are knife marks everywhere on their bodies, which are obviously carved by beginners who are carving.
