Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Chen Ping is waiting for an opportunity, a chance to enter the city.

On this day, Uncle Pan in the village found Chen Duohai and asked him to help pull the goods into the city to sell, and the ox cart in the countryside was the means of transportation, and the two discussed that they would set off early the next morning and give a reward of sixty Wen.

"Dad, I also want to go into the city and see the world."

Chen Ping said seriously, his eyes flashing with big eyes and begging.

Growing so big, he really hasn't been to the city once.

Before Chen Duohai could speak, Xiang Shi persuaded on the side: "Ping'er, your father is going to be busy with business, don't follow to make trouble, there will be opportunities in the future, be obedient." ”

The most important thing is that Xiang is still worried about Chen Ping's safety, the child is still young, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it takes a day to go back and forth to the city. And there are a lot of people in the city, what if they get separated?

Chen Ping had been looking forward to this day for a long time, whether he could sell the medicinal materials to make money in this move, how could he give up, and immediately used the coquettish method to his mother Xiang's family, dragging his mother's arm and swaying more than once.

"Mother, don't you say that Ping'er has grown up. I promise I won't mess up with my dad and I won't run around. I once heard a saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and children want to go out and increase their knowledge. Mother's mother is the best, the best mother in the world! ”

It's also difficult for Chen Ping, and the soul in his twenties still has to resort to the trick of coquettishness.

But this trick is very good in front of Xiang's, and Xiang's heart is really useful, although I don't know where my son heard this sentence, I also feel that there is some truth.

Xiang Shi scraped Chen Ping's nose with his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know who you followed, your father is not as good at praising people as you." It's okay to follow, but you have to be obedient. ”

Chen Duohai touched his head, as long as Xiang agreed, he had no opinion.

Chen Ping cheered happily, "Okay, you can enter the city!" ”

After dinner, the moon climbed the treetops, and the old Chen family's mansion quieted down.

Chen Ping couldn't fall asleep in bed, he was thinking about how to exchange medicinal herbs for money after entering the city, it was not appropriate for him to do this business as a child!

And how to spend it after making money, I want to buy beaded flowers for my mother and give it to my father...... Such cranky thinking caused Chen Ping to fall asleep very late, and the next day the rooster crowed, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't get up.

Xiang Shi came over and shouted to him to get up, so he couldn't help but nag for a while, "You were the one who yelled to enter the city yesterday, and now you are lying in bed, if your father doesn't wait for you, you are not allowed to cry." ”

Chen Ping listened in a daze, wanting to open his eyes, but only opened a slit.

Seeing this, Xiang reluctantly helped him get dressed, and after tossing for a long time, Chen Ping finally became more sober, and glanced at the room where Chen Duohai was not seen, which startled him.

"Is Daddy gone?"

"No, he went to your Uncle Pan's house to help load the goods. Wash your face quickly, and I'll make some food, and you will bring some on the road so that you don't get hungry. ”

After a while, Chen Duohai packed the car and returned home, Xiang also made breakfast, and while the two were eating, Xiang baked a few more cakes for the two to take.

Everything was ready, and the three of them set out on their way into the city in the morning light.

The ox cart was full of goods, in fact, Chen Duohai and Uncle Pan were used to go, so Chen Ping could enjoy the treatment of riding in the car. The board is covered with straw, so even if the road is uneven, it will not be too bumpy.

After a long time, Chen Ping looked up at the sun, and asked anxiously, "Dad, when will I be able to get to the city?" ”

Chen Duohai turned around and smiled: "You can see the city gate after walking a few more miles." ”

Uncle Pan also quipped, "This kid enters the city for the first time, so we have to watch it closely, and if we don't pay attention, we will run away with the sugar gourd seller." ”

Chen Ping, "......".

really treated him like a child, and the three of them talked and laughed along the way to pass the boring time. The number of people entering the city on the road also increased, some carrying baskets and others pushing wheelbarrows.

Gradually, the tall city wall also appeared in front of Chen Ping's eyes, and before he was reborn, he also saw photos of the ancient city wall on the Internet, but it was not as shocking as he was immersed in the scene, it was really as high as a few floors.

And this is only a town, if it is a state city or even a capital, how magnificent and majestic it should be.

At the gates of the city there were soldiers who maintained order, brightly armoured and armed with long knives at their waists, and those who entered the city had to be checked before they could enter. If the trader who enters and leaves has to pay a certain amount of tax, it is not much and only three pennies.

Even if Chen Ping had seen the high-rise buildings in his previous life, he felt that his two eyes were a little insufficient at this moment, and he looked around curiously.

There are a lot of people in the city, the roads are lined with shops, and the pedestrians on the streets are much better dressed than in the countryside.

He thought that the city was better than the countryside, but when he saw this prosperous scene, he realized that he was short-sighted, and sighed in his heart that this was really a peaceful and prosperous world.

Uncle Pan is a hunter, this trip into the city is to sell all the fur saved, the temperature gradually rises after the beginning of spring, the fur is not easy to put, this car of fur is conservatively estimated to be able to sell ten taels of silver.

The three of them set off early enough, but they didn't expect to find that they still had to queue up after entering the city and coming to the shop, and the hunters in the surrounding villages obviously had this idea.

Uncle Pan sighed, "With so many people coming, this black-hearted businessman has to lower the price again." Anyway, you're going to line up here, or why don't you take your baby around the city? ”

This is exactly what Chen Ping wants, he didn't really come to the city to have a long experience, but came with a dream of making money, even if Uncle Pan didn't say it, he had to find a way to take his father away, and wanted to sell the medicinal materials he brought, he was definitely not a child, and Chen Duohai had to come forward.

Chen Duohai nodded, it was rare for his son to go to the city, and it was a waste of time for the three of them to wait here.

"That's okay, it won't take long for me to take Ping'er for a casual stroll, and then I'll come to look for you, if you sell it in advance and we haven't come back yet, let's meet at the wonton stall at the city gate."

Seeing that the two had finished discussing, Chen Ping took out the entrained private goods from under the straw pile on the car. The sun-dried raspberry leaves are not heavy, and this bag will weigh two or three catties.

Chen Duohai walked in front and admonished: "Follow me, don't run around, don't let the abductors (human traffickers) give you abductions." Hey, what are you holding in your hand? ”

Before coming, Chen Ping had already thought of an excuse, and said with a smile: "Raspberry leaves, I heard Grandpa Wang in the village say that this thing is a kind of medicinal herb, so I want to see if I can come to the city to exchange some money." ”

Chen Duohai couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he didn't take Chen Ping's words seriously, but took the bag from his hand, "I see that your kid was fooled by Grandpa Wang this time." ”

Under Chen Ping's pleading, Chen Duohai had no choice but to agree, thinking that it would be okay to go in and ask when passing by the medicinal herb shop, and if it didn't work, there would be no loss, and if it could really sell for some money, it would also be an extra income.

"Then we have to go to the grocery store first, and before we leave, your mother will explain to buy salt and spices."

Chen Ping nodded, took his father's big hand, and walked into the crowded market.
