Yan Lao Er entered a few times before he could stop in the gap between the two boats.

The man on the shore motioned for him to throw the reins over.

Wait for the man to skillfully tie to the ship's stake.

Only then did he carefully look at the raft in front of him.

"Okay, brother, there are enough materials, a raft with two layers of rolling logs, and baffles on both sides...... Not to mention, it works. ”

Perennial begging for a living by the water, looking at the planks on both sides, you know what it is for, look at the back, the water splash is not splashed in, and you have a number in your heart.

"We are the bow of the wharf here, if you see that boat, recognize it, if we are not there in the future, you will directly send the copper plate there to our mother-in-law."

Yan Lao Er slashed at his face: "I didn't bring any goods here, let's count it as empty, I heard that the raft can be handed over a little less than the ship......"

The bow of the boat is not annoyed, and the country man is afraid that it will be the first time to come back to Changping, and the letters he inquires about are all orders from several years ago.

"You inquire about that person, I'm afraid he hasn't been to Changping for many years, it's all the old yellow calendar, now it doesn't look at whether you are a raft or a boat, look at the size, see how many things you can carry, you look at the raft you tie, this old man is wide, and the boat next to you is not much worse.

Also, don't fool me, let's beg for a living at this wharf when we are young, what are you here for, we can see it at a glance. ”

Yan Lao Er pointed at himself and asked confusedly, "What am I here for?" ”

The bow of the boat has an expression that sees through you: "Sell cows!" Why don't you pull it for? Could it be that the grass in Changping is more fragrant, and you brought it to eat grass? ”

Yan Lao Er was speechless.

He simply confessed.

"Bow of the boat, you raise your hand, my cow is really not for sale, let me count it as empty." He whispered a plea.

The man looked left and right, and saw that they were all familiar with each other, and his voice was also low: "We are for your own good, we have handed over the copper plate here, let's give you a sign, and you don't have to pay the cow money when you enter the city, just care about your grandfather."

Otherwise, the official who guards the city is not so easy to talk to. ”

"If you have a sign, you don't have to pay if you enter the city?" Yan Lao Er asked.

"If the cow doesn't pay it, the man has to pay it." The bow of the ship decided that he had come to sell the cow, but he couldn't let the money run away.

He is in charge of the inner dock, and he has to pay the accounts to the top every month.

The boats next to them pay more, and the boats they beg for a living on the inner docks pay less.

It's a pity that Gu Feng had an accident, and no boat has come over for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, where are you from?" The bow of the ship remembered something, looked vigilant, and stepped back.

Yan Lao Er knew what he was worried about, and hurriedly said, "Our two masters are fighting tigers. ”

"Tiger City?" The bow of the boat was a little surprised: "That's not close, you still came when you came, and it takes a lot of effort to go back." ”

"There's no way, I originally went to Gufeng, it's not that it's not easy to walk over there...... didn't stop in the middle, and came directly to Changping. ”

The bow nodded knowingly.

"Brother, let's tell you, you don't lose money when you come to Changping to sell cattle, although the road is far and harder, but our cattle can be sold at a good price, which is definitely higher than when you go to Gufeng." He whispered again: "Except for the necessary items, don't buy anything else, let's also be high." ”

Yan Laoer: ......

Why do you think I'm here to sell cattle?

He felt that it was almost the same, so he pretended to be in pain, gave the copper plate, and came back with a different skewer.

One side of the bamboo stick is engraved with a livestock character, and the other side is a smaller character, which is an inner character.

Yan Lao Er repeatedly begged the bow of the boat to help him take a good look at his raft.

The bow of the ship thinks about you, who can still care about you, this broken raft.

But after receiving the copper plate from others, he also promised in a good voice that there was no problem, and it was wrapped up in him.

Father and daughter leave the dock with two cows.

Yan Yu took the bamboo stick, looked at it for a while, and said, "This stick should have been used for a long time, this color doesn't look like Hsinchu." ”

The ink on it is also a little blurred, of course, it may also be because of the river, accidentally touched by water, etc., it is possible.

"It looks like it's going to be a long time, at least not a year or two." Yan Lao Er said with a sigh of relief.

"Then in this Changpingli, will you sell bamboo?" The reason why Yan Yu is interested in this bamboo stick is because of this.

Beirong's entry into the village taught them a lesson.

There are loopholes in the border defense of Tiger City, and the mouth is open in the mountains behind them.

The arrow tower, the high wall that surrounds the village, can not be built in a day or two.

Until then, they have to have something to protect themselves.

The first thing that can come to mind is definitely a bamboo crossbow.

The bow is not easy to practice, and the bamboo crossbow is easier to use, and almost all the people in their village, from old to young, can use it.

It is too dangerous to fight head-on with Beirong, and those barbarians shoot good arrows, they have no crossbows in their hands, and they suffer too much against them.

Yan Lao Er: "You have to inquire about this seriously." Yan Lao Er said: "Your uncle also said that when we avoid the limelight, we can do it again, but they have been touched into the village, it is too dangerous, let's use it carefully, I guess he will not object." ”

"We can practice them all, usually use a bow, and then use a bamboo crossbow when necessary." Yan Yudao.

Yan Lao Er shook his head and said, "I hope we won't use it when we can, but it's okay to prepare it in advance." ”

The father and daughter reached a consensus.

also walked outside Changping City.

There are two towns under the jurisdiction of Changping, which are near the sea and have two natural harbors.

There is a river in each of the west and south directions.

Crossing the river to the west of the city is Yongning.

The river in the south of the city is a strip of water with Gufeng.

It is also the river crossed by the father and daughter of the Yan family.

The two entered the city through the south gate, and not many people entered and exited the city gate.

Soon they were lined up.

The official guarding the city saw the bamboo stick, and sure enough, he only needed the head money.

It's just that this head money is a bit expensive.

Yan Yu, a child, is also counted as an adult, and he wants three copper plates.

Two people are Liuwen.

"When you have to work hard, you have to calculate, whether it is appropriate to take the water route or the land route." Yan Lao Er said: "Count the raft, count the three treasures, count our ......"

"Daddy! Haven't we all counted it at home, it must be appropriate to take the waterway, pull a lot of things, you take the official road, even if you save the money to live in the post station, when you get to the city gate, you have to give it. ”

Yan Yu said: "The bow of the boat has said, if you don't hand it over to him, you have to hand it over here, if we don't bring the three treasures, we have to hire another car to pull us to the dock when we buy things back...... It's all the same dad. ”

Yan Lao Er sighed and said, "As soon as you go out, you have to spend money anywhere." ”

He touched the half of the ginseng in his arms, "Let's go, let's go to the pharmacy first." ”

There have been several experiences in finding a pharmacy.

Yan Lao Er quickly locked down a few pharmacies and drilled in and out of these shops.

The shopkeeper saw that the country man had come back with the child.

Du Le: "I said fellow, or the price I gave, your ginseng is missing, and the big families are collecting the whole ginseng, and they don't want it, so they only give us a pharmacy, cut it into ginseng slices and sell it slowly."

"That's it, you're too hard." Yan Lao Er complained with a sad face.

The shopkeeper was still waiting to see him.

What a family!

The mud legs in the countryside, digging ginseng, don't hurry up and sell it, hide it and put it as a treasure, okay, when the big radish in the field, I cut a section and ate it myself......

What a waste!

can see him going back and forth asking and bargaining, looking tangled and reluctant to give up, and somehow, he feels funny when he looks at it.

When the mood is good, people are also much more tolerant.

"Then what do you say can be done, the whole is easy to sell, we don't pressure money, collect half of your stick, I have to sell it piece by piece, do you think this is a big radish, according to the pound, how many catties will give you how much money, this ginseng, can anyone afford to eat it?"

"I'll show you." The shopkeeper turned around and took out the compartment of the ginseng slices from the medicine cabinet, took out the wooden box, and opened the tightly wrapped ginseng slices inside.

Through the cloth, twist it with your hand, and let you see it from afar.

"Look carefully, such a thin piece, two tablets in a pair of medicines, and ordinary prescriptions can't use it.

You yourself said, how many slices can you cut out of half of your ginseng, when will I have to sell it? ”

Yan Yu thinks that what the shopkeeper said is reasonable.

This is the time cost of the precipitation of goods.

She looked at her father.

Yan Lao Er is a businessman himself, can he not understand this?

Ahem, small business is also a sale.

"Shopkeeper, add more." He still doesn't give up.

The shopkeeper smiled even more, his eyes narrowed.

I don't know, I thought I was going to cut meat from this person, and I felt distressed when I looked at it.

"Okay, I'll add a mouthful to you, don't toss back and forth here and there, I see you're tired and panicked, five dollars, thirty-five twenty-five dollars!"

Yan Laoer's expression changed for a long time.

Holding back a sentence: "Okay, I want silver, not copper." ”

Yan Yuqiang couldn't help but laugh.

This is something I learned from selling sheep.

Silver for copper plates, more cost-effective.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay! ”

I didn't want to take advantage of that.

It's just a pity.

This is a good ginseng for seven taels.

plus the cut off piece, even if it is less than eight taels, it is not bad.

If it's the whole branch, he can take fifty taels, and it's not impossible to talk about adding a few taels.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper instructed more: "If there is such a good ginseng, don't be bad, this ginseng is worth a lot of silver, if you really want to use ginseng, you will buy ginseng slices and go back, you can calculate it yourself, how much is the difference between inside and outside." ”

Yan Lao Er couldn't agree anymore and nodded again and again.

He asked again about the price of the ginseng slices.

The shopkeeper gave him what he said.

Yan Laoer: ......

Judging from the price of your Changping, what you said at this price should be quite true, but compared with Fucheng Yongning, your things are really going to be sold to the sky.

Anything is expensive!

This is the conclusion that the two came out of the pharmacy and walked several streets.

"Medicine is expensive, food is expensive, salt is expensive, paper is expensive, cloth is expensive...... Nothing is inexpensive. Yan Lao Er complained: "Selling things is higher, but all the things you buy are spent, and you may spend more, and the general account is still taken advantage of." ”

"It is said that the tax set by the lord of Changping is high." Yan Yu looked in the direction where the official office was.

I heard that this old man is no longer in the official office now, and went to the harbor of Pinglang Town.

The people of the city were gossiping, as if they had brought in someone, who was also a relative of the King of England.

Relatives of the British Crown......

It's not the royal family, it's the mother family, or the wife family.

Only these can be called relatives of the prince's family.

However, these small people who are fighting for promotion are just gossiping, and they don't understand which god is here, and what kind of relationship they have with the king of England.

For them, it doesn't matter if they come or not.

"Do you think the waterfront will be lower or about the same?" Yan Lao Er asked his daughter.

Yan Yu: "It depends on whether Linhai has the wind and flood disaster that the uncle said this year, if not, it will definitely be lower than Changping, and the prices here are higher than Yongning, which is outrageous." ”

Yongning, as the capital of Guanzhou, should be the highest standard of political economy in Guanzhou.

Changping is near the river and sea, and how about the developed sea transportation.

This is Guanzhou, not the south.

The people's consumption level is completely unattainable, and they are stubborn.

The things sold are so expensive, and every store is deserted.

The sparser they buy, the more they have to sell at a high price, and make a profit, which is not an increase in taxes, but a fish.

"If we go to Linhai and find that the price is still high, and if we come back, we will have to spend another time to enter the city." Yan Lao Er didn't want to spend money in vain.

"It's simple, let's find someone to inquire about Linhai this year, if the wind and rain are smooth, let's go over."

Yan Yu actually didn't want to toss, if he was in a calm mood on the water, he would naturally be fine in all his minds, but there were too many things in their hearts, and they were okay at the beginning, but after a long time, they felt that the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait had become the same.

I want to go home.

The two of them found a wine shop.

Not only does it sell wine here, but it also eats food, stir-fried snacks, marinated meat, noodles as the staple food, and pancakes.

The reason why I chose this place is also a helpless move.

Where information flows, there must be people, and there must be idlers.

There is something to do seriously, busy doing work every day to make money, who has time to talk about it.

Again, there are a lot of people who go around doing business in this kind of place.

If you can't afford to go to a good restaurant, this kind of small wine shop is the best choice.

Drink one, two, two small wines, come to two plates of snacks, sip it, sandwich the food, sip it again, and cut two sentences of the mountain with people, the whole body is comfortable and beautiful.

There are few children who come over, and as soon as Yan Lao Er comes in, he is a little eye-catching.

He didn't care about that much, found the middle position, and took Yan Yu to sit over.

The two of them ordered a pancake, a bowl of noodles, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of roast chicken......

Good guy, as soon as the guy sings the name of the dish, he calms down the old and young masters in the wine shop.

What kind of net worth is this, I actually ordered roast chicken!

These people's eyes looked at the two of them.

Could it be that people can't look good, and deliberately wear such a poor sour?

People who love to come to the wine shop can drink two sips, and those who can drink are divided into two kinds, one is stuffy to drink, one person drinks deliciously, and one loves to talk to people, and the thief can say before and after drinking.

This latter also has a general benefit – self-cooked.

"Brother, have you forgotten something? Why don't you order wine? Are you used to drinking good, but you can't drink bad? ”

This man wants to say, if you order such a hard dish, you have to make a whole pot of wine, otherwise you will not waste that chicken.

"Not really, I still have to hold the pole in the afternoon, I'm worried that I will drink it and my head hurt." Yan Laoer's standard Guanzhou dialect.

Plus it's really homely.

It's very kind to the big guy all of a sudden.
