Chapter 10 Scarcity is treasure
Looking from afar, the Jinling road is full of traffic, endless comings and goings, some carriages to the south, fast horses and whips to come, some carriages to the north, flying horses raise their hooves and go away.
The streets are bustling with pedestrians, some of whom are in a hurry, passing by, and leaving in a hurry, while others are strolling leisurely, enjoying the street scene, and stopping to look.
Ling Feng walked on the bustling streets, the road was full of people coming and going, lively, regardless of men, women and children, they all had strange eyes, shooting at him from time to time.
After all, Ling Feng and the local residents are not contemporaries, and it is normal to be regarded as a diorama by others, anyway, he is a dignified man and does not care about the eyes of others.
Ling Feng still went his own way, straightening his chest and going his own way.
"Gollum ......" Ling Feng screamed in his stomach, he felt a little hungry at first, oh hey! When the family held a celebration banquet for themselves, they only drank two glasses of wine, and they didn't have time to eat dinner!
Ling Feng was a little confused, in his dream, someone was feeding himself juice with a straw, these things are rich in nutrients, they can only maintain the life element, this doesn't work! "Go get something to eat there! It's better to fill your stomach than anything else.
Oh, there's also a hundred-dollar bill, it seems, it's not universal, so let's try it!
Ling Feng walked to a stall selling steamed buns, he took out a brand new version of the bill and said, "Boss, buy five meat buns." ”
"Hmm!" As soon as the vendor saw this banknote, he took it and looked at it, "Wow!" his heart shook and said: "Hmm! This is a silver ticket for the future century, the printing is exquisite and collectible, it can make a fortune, this dynasty does not exchange, and there is no change to disperse, this stall is a small book to sell and buy, this silver ticket can not be collected, you take it back!"
Ling Feng was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, he tightened his belt and said, "Boss, you don't need to give change to this banknote, just give it as a souvenir! ”
"We don't collect foreign wealth, although some people have said: 'Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people are not rich without foreign wealth.'" "If the government knows that it will be handed over and confiscated, and you will have to go to jail for a lawsuit, this can't be done, so I'll give you five buns!"
Ling Feng took the five buns and devoured them in a big gulp, and for a while, three times and five divided by two, not even a single bit of the bun crumbs were left.
When the vendor saw the exotic young man, he looked ugly and knew that he was extremely hungry, so he took out five more buns, handed them to Ling Feng and said, "Young man, you don't seem to have eaten much for a few days, so let's eat to your heart's content!"
Ling Feng took five buns, and devoured them all after a few bites, "Oh!" He burped, and finally filled his stomach and intestines, he had never received favors from others, and he was very sorry not to go, and he didn't charge a hundred yuan bills, so thank you!
Ling Feng saw that there was a Shanghai brand watch on his wrist, so he took it off and held it in his hand and said: "Uncle is doing a small business, this is a watch to keep time, get up in the morning to look at the hour, it can come in handy, please accept it as a barter!"
"A watch? Uncle can't read it, so let's keep it for ourselves! We don't need to keep the time, look up at the sun, and you'll know what time it is! Now it's a day!" The vendor looked up at the sun and told the hour.
Ling Feng traveled to the Qing Dynasty five hundred years ago at night, and landed in Jinling City, he took a watch to look at it, at this time, it was exactly half past seven in the morning, and he had to admire: "Uncle has good eyesight, he knows the hour when he looks at the sun, it's really amazing!"
"People who do small business, fight for a few hard-earned money to support their families, get up early in the morning and get used to the dark, and they have developed the eyesight of observing the sky and observing the Chen, and after a long time, they have become the best not to leave ten. "The vendor man has the ability to see the heavens, and he said confidently.
"Uncle doesn't need this watch, so take off this T-shirt and make a souvenir for you!" Ling Feng didn't want to eat five buns for nothing, so he wanted to use the T-shirt to pay off this favor.
This T-shirt is creamy yellow, with a giant panda printed on the chest, sitting on the ground and raising two palms, holding a bamboo pole and gnawing, with the big red characters "National Treasure" printed on it.
"Oh! What kind of shirt is it, this giant panda is cute, but it is not a national treasure in the Qing Dynasty! The young man is from a foreign land! It is quite a national treasure for the scene in front of him!" The vendor man is a proper person, and he also knows the word national treasure on the T-shirt, he is not deliberately joking, but spit out the contemporary truth.
In the era of the Qing Dynasty, pandas flocked into the city as guests, frequently patronized the homes of citizens, leisurely and leisurely, and the shadow of the activities came out, even the common people could see it, it was not a rare treasure, and the rarity was precious!
"I am a 'national treasure', where does this come from?"
"You are from a foreign land, and scarcity is precious, no, people regard scarcity as treasure! Doesn't it have the same conclusion!"
"Oh! People regard scarcity as treasure, but there is some truth to it, but once you take off your T-shirt, you won't become a Qing person, and this shirt will be changed into a bun!"
"Unwilling to take advantage of other people's friendship, it seems that in a foreign land is also a person with excellent character and learning, it seems difficult not to accept it, so it's okay, this T-shirt! Uncle keeps it first, it's feasible to take it whenever you want, take a basket of steamed buns to eat! Even if the steamed buns are exchanged for T-shirts. ”
Ling Feng took off his T-shirt, with a sour smell of sweat, he held it in his hand and said, "This T-shirt, just change it to a basket of steamed buns, and no one owes anyone anything." He took a basket of steamed buns and handed the T-shirt to the vendor.
Ling Feng was wearing a vest and holding a basket of buns, and walked towards a lane, thinking that taking off his T-shirt was no different from the Qing Dynasty, but it was the same as watching.
Who knows? Ling Feng does not have a single braid on the back of his head, which is an obvious knot, and a pair of jeans, which is also very different from the customs of the Qing Dynasty, these are two fatal wounds, his image is more or less affected, and the way of doing things is different, and the temperament is different, the form is different, and it is impossible to integrate into the common people, it is difficult to survive in the Qing Dynasty.
Ling Feng wandered around the city for a day, and when the residents of the city saw that he was a foreigner, they were afraid of causing any trouble, so they did coolie chores, and no one dared to hire him, so naturally they didn't find anything to do.
When night falls, you have to find a place to sleep peacefully! Sleep on the curb on a hot day is not elegant, find a collapsed and ruined abandoned house, and stay overnight, if you can, you can go and spend the night, otherwise, you have no money on you, and you can go there to stay overnight!
Ling Feng walked all the way to look for it, and walked about three or five miles away, when he came to the junction of the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, he saw a desolate and dilapidated abandoned mansion, which was already in ruins, and it was a scene of backwards and ruins.
Approaching to see, there is a circle of walls built around, there are more than 100 acres of square area, it is incomplete, inside is a desolate garden, a large mansion collapsed in it.
