420 Four Ace Shop
Chu Yuncheng, who was full of curiosity, walked in front of the group of people.
I saw that the group of people was surrounding a stall, and at this moment, behind the stall, there were horse-drawn carriages driving in.
And seeing these carriages, Chu Yuncheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because the purchase of these carriages was the main purpose of his visit to Qianshan City this time.
After walking around this market for almost a day before, he didn't find any stalls selling this kind of carriage, which made Chu Yuncheng very disappointed.
I was going to go home, but I didn't expect to see it here.
At this moment, looking at the carriages that drove in, Chu Yuncheng was not in a hurry, he wanted to see what was pulling on this carriage.
It can make these locals so crazy.
There was no ink on the carts, and they drove the carriages to the place closest to the crowd.
Then a young man in a felt hat jumped out of the car, holding a tin horn, and shouted at the crowd of onlookers.
"The first car, three thousand, second-class red bricks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two more people jump out of the carriage.
The straw curtain covering the car was lifted, revealing a whole load of red bricks.
It's just that these red bricks are not particularly intact, and many of them have cracks, or have unburned nodules on them.
Or maybe there is a brick corner missing.
As soon as Chu Yuncheng's mind turned, he knew that these bricks should be defective.
To be honest, this kind of thing is not a rare thing in their Yanyun Sixteen Cities.
Hundreds of years ago, they already knew how to build walls with bricks.
However, their bricks are all green bricks, and gray bricks, unlike the red bricks from this Thousand Mountains City.
And these bricks, they don't seem to be the same.
The green bricks from their Yanzhou are all particularly large bricks.
One would be five times the size of this red brick.
However, although it is large, the disadvantages are also quite obvious.
It is because of its large size, it is quite bulky, when building a city wall, or building a house.
Generally, it takes two people to move the green bricks.
Unlike this kind of red brick, one is only the size of two palms, and a person can hold it with one hand.
And why the green bricks they produce are not made into red bricks of this size, it is entirely because of the strength.
Because their brick makers found that if the brick is made too small, then the brick is not strong enough.
Chipping can easily occur.
This may be related to the firing temperature and the raw materials used to make bricks.
However, the specific details, this is not something that Chu Yuncheng can understand.
However, what he knew was that even the kind of green bricks that he didn't know much about seemed to be very expensive in the Yanyun Sixteen Cities area.
Generally, in addition to the local city lords who use this material to repair the city wall, that is, the local dignitaries and dignitaries use this material to build their own homes and palaces.
As for their local people, they generally live in mud houses with thatched roofs.
And at this moment, the young man showed the bricks on the car.
The crowd of onlookers began to shout.
"A dollar!"
"A piece of five!"
"Two pieces!"
"Three ......"
It turned out that these people were bidding for the red bricks of this car.
Chu Yuncheng understood it, and he pulled over a melon-eating crowd next to him who was also watching the excitement and asked a few words.
The other party saw that he was dressed beautifully and was very polite to him, so he told him.
It turned out that these people bought this red brick for the purpose of building a house.
Recently, the lord of the castle drew a piece of land in the north of the city and prepared to build a new city.
When the time comes, all the people who live here will move there.
In the new city, the land was developed by the lord of the castle and then rented to the poor.
When the poor have saved enough money, they can buy the house back from the lord of the city.
There are also some wealthy people, such as soldiers who followed the castle lord from birth to death, accumulated military exploits, and received rich rewards.
They have the money to buy themselves a piece of homestead.
Since you have bought land, you have to build your own house.
And to build your own house, you naturally need good raw materials.
And this kind of strong and durable red brick has naturally become a hot commodity.
Now every day the brick factory will produce some defective products that the military does not look down on.
And these defective products will be transferred to this civilian market for sale, and this thing is still very sought-after.
Those locals who need to build houses, and some wealthy people from outside are rushing to buy them.
Chu Yuncheng was also stunned after hearing this!
There are actually merchants from other places who come thousands of miles to buy bricks here......
It can be seen that these bricks are definitely not mortal!
It must be quite sturdy!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the horizontal and vertical roads outside.
Aren't those roads paved with these pieces of red bricks and some cobblestones?
He's been walking all day, and it's true that the red brick paved road is pretty good.
Very clean and hard!
He had been to Nanyun City, the capital of the Southern Cloud Kingdom, which was also known as the largest city in the Aurora Continent.
There is a street in that city, which is paved with blue bricks to show the identity of the city.
However, it seems that it has only been paved for a few years, and many green bricks have been trampled on......
It can be seen that the gap between the green bricks and the red bricks, in this case, when you go back, do you also buy a few cars of this red brick?
Just as he was thinking wildly, the cart of red bricks was finally snatched away by someone for a few of five silver dollars.
I'm a good one, five silver dollars to buy a cart of bricks?
Chu Yuncheng said that he really couldn't understand it!
However, seeing that the person around him was very talkative, he couldn't help but hold the person and chat for a while.
Only then did I learn that this person was not a native of Qianshan City, but also a merchant from other places.
However, he had been in and out of Thousand Mountains City many times, so he must be more familiar with Thousand Mountains City than them.
In the end, this Chu Yuncheng couldn't help but tentatively ask this person to arrive.
"This Brother Li, you are so familiar with this Thousand Mountains City, do you know where the carriages in this Thousand Mountains City are sold?"
"I've walked around the market several times before, but I haven't seen anything!"
The man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question: "So you want to buy their carriage!" ”
"That carriage is not sold here, but in the Si Ace shop in the north of the city!"
"What...... Shop? ”
Chu Yuncheng was completely blinded, and a trace of disdain flashed on the man's face, as if he was talking about this dirt bun again.
"Four Ace Shop!"
Confirm again and again that the other party is not fooling himself.
Chu Yuncheng is completely messy, he has heard of any hotel and restaurant, but these four ace shops, what kind of place is this?
