Chapter 145: Bartering
Through the curtain of the car, Lin Fengqin saw two city defenders walking forward with Yanling knives in their hands.
First glanced at their carriage, then looked at the guards on the side: "Who is inside?" ”
Compared with the previous county officials, the city guards are tall and big, and their fierce and vicious appearance can make their hearts flutter at a glance.
But soon, Song Jing's guards handed the other party a sign, and after the negotiation, Lin Fengqin only felt that the other party's expression revealed a visible respect.
In the past, the Lin family had been to the town at most, and Lin Fengqin couldn't know what the county town was like at this time from her memory, so she looked around through the curtain of the car at this time.
Liangcheng is much larger than Wuxian Town, and when you enter the city, the road is crowded with vendors, and some people's dress and appearance are full of exotic styles.
Song Jing asked the guards to drive the carriage straight to the inn.
"Grandma Lin, do you want to eat something first?"
"I'm not hungry now, let's go out for a walk first."
Hearing this, several people agreed.
At this time, it was noon, and when he got up in the morning, He Yu was hungry for that mouthful of spicy sauce mixed noodles, and as a result, he cooked a large pot of noodles, and even the rest of the people ate it. Song Jing asked that sentence just now because he was afraid that Lin Fengqin, who had not eaten anything, was hungry. Now hearing her say that she will go to the street first, Song Jing hurriedly gathered her clothes and walked ahead.
At this time, the handsome young man wore a fox fur around his neck, wearing an army-green thick cotton jacket, a jade crown on his head, and a strange-shaped bag in his hand.
The strange dress did not hide his natural extravagance, but attracted the attention of many guests.
The inn is located in the most prosperous part of the city. When I went out the door, I heard the constant shouting.
Lin Fengqin walked at the forefront, and at this time she regretted very much that she was worried that the child was tired and did not bring her little granddaughter who was coming. In addition to Song Jing and Gu Chengyuan, the three men with serious expressions behind him did not look like shopping, but like thugs who were going to collect debts.
"Lord Song, have you ever been to Liangcheng before?"
In the end, Lin Fengqin held back for a long time, and could only find a conversation to talk to Song Jing.
"No, it's the first time."
In the past, his knowledge of the border and other countries came from miscellaneous books, so that at this time, Song Jing also looked at the vendors on both sides with great interest.
"Grandma, we can go see the horses before we go back."
Hearing Gu Chengyuan's words, Lin Fengqin also set her eyes on the horses tied to the side of the street.
After observing this meeting, she also found that there were many people in the city, and there were also merchants who came to do business with the big beams, but most of the sales were related to cattle, sheep, horses, etc., or sold iron tools, and were not as many stalls as in ordinary towns.
This street is very similar to the bulk commodity trading area in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two sides are pulled away by car after the purchase and sale are decided.
The expressions of the people were cold and not warm.
Lin Fengqin knows that rare things are expensive, and you can see that there is a high probability that selling horses can buy better horses for cheap money when you take two steps here.
"Is it possible to sell things in this city now?"
After counting all the family resources brought out of her body, she turned her head sideways and asked Song Jing with a very bottomless heart.
The business that was gradually improving was interrupted by a sudden natural disaster, although the output of the supply and marketing cooperatives was eaten and drunk a while ago and did not cost money, but they also completely cut off their income later. The more than 100 taels of silver on his body were saved when business was good.
Thinking about the price of buying cattle at that time, Lin Fengqin estimated that no matter how cheap the horses in Liangcheng were, they couldn't be like cabbage.
I thought in my heart that since I wanted to buy it, I would buy a few more horses to go back.
If you don't have enough money, you can only find a way to find a way. Now the easiest thing is to try to see if you can set up a stall here to sell something.
"Most of the people in Liangcheng are not for sale, they are bartering." Yang Qin, who was following behind, stepped forward after hearing her words, "Aunt Lin, if you want to change things, you can take some of the things they lack." ”
Song Jing on the side also nodded and added: "Tea, silk, cloth, fruits and vegetables, these are all what they need." ”
The Turks are nomadic people, the main pillar of life is animal husbandry, and daily clothing, food, housing and transportation are also related to livestock.
Every year, the tributary beams would return with what they needed, such as cloth, silk, silk, and so on.
"Auntie, your hot sauce and instant noodles will definitely be popular too!" He Yu also interjected.
Listening to one of them add, Lin Fengqin had a bottom in her heart, and after walking around a few times and noting down the most crowded places, Lin Fengqin led everyone back to the inn.
"Xiao Yuan, you're here to help grandma."
After dinner, Lin Fengqin called Gu Chengyuan into the room and sent Song Jing, who originally wanted to follow him, out euphemistically.
"Xiao Yuan, you remember something for grandma."
Among the group, she trusted only Lin Dahe and Gu Chengyuan, and among these two people, Lin Dahe was illiterate and couldn't write, so in the end, the heavy responsibility of recording the number naturally fell on Gu Chengyuan's head.
Turning around and fastening the door of the room, Lin Fengqin handed Gu Chengyuan a notebook and a pen.
Afraid that he had never used a pencil, Lin Fengqin also dug out a brush and ink for fountain pens from the store.
Just as Gu Chengyuan was about to wait for Lin Fengqin to say, he was stunned by her next move......
