Chapter 67: Shopping
Lin Qing casually pointed to the block in front of him, Xia Qingqing raised his eyes and looked at the crowded streets, shouting endlessly, "Hey, don't miss it when you pass by, Sanwen money!" Three-penny for the whole audience! ”
"Sell, cold noodle bun!"
"Meat sandwich bun, five cents a piece"
"Donkey meat dumplings, donkey meat dumplings just out of the pot, fresh and hot dumplings!"
"Cool skin, sell cool skin!"
"Mackerel cakes, mackerel meatloaf!"
"Herring noodles, wonton noodles!"
"Braised prawns,"
"Sugar Man, Seafood Sugar Man!"
Xia Qingqing glanced at the string of takoyaki in his hand, looked at Lin Qing, and looked at the block in front of him that he hadn't walked to yet. I took a decisive bite and blew while eating, so hot that I couldn't speak.
"It's so hot, it's hot, there's so much more in front of me! Hot, scalded me. ”
Xia Qingqing was so hot that she stomped her feet on the spot, and Lin Qing was also a little flustered, "Don't burn it anymore, if you really can't do it, you will vomit it." ”
Lin Qing had already put his hand to her mouth, and now Xia Qingqing hurriedly chewed two bites and swallowed it with a mouthful of saliva.
The remaining two takoyaki are not eaten at all! handed it to Lin Qing and said, "Brother Lin Qing, this is for you, I still have my stomach to eat." ”
"There are so many delicious foods in front of me, I haven't heard of them, donkey meat is burned! I didn't expect that there was a donkey meat on the beach! ”
"What's so strange about this, where the merchants come from have to pass here, where the merchants have, it must be snacks from all over the world, he has to dip some, otherwise how can he usher in the delivery to customers?"
"It makes sense, it really makes sense," Xia Qingqing led everyone to start eating a big meal at the market.
The sky was slowly getting dark, and the streets were lit up with lanterns one after another.
Lin Qing introduced to her, "Look at the lanterns lit up here, it is enough to light up the entire street, this side is not like there is a curfew in Beijing, usually there are people on the street at night." ”
"From time to time, large ships are docked in the harbor, and a lot of manpower is needed to carry them, and the seafarers on board also need to get off the ship to rest," he said.
"The most important thing at sea is the water that can be drunk and eat, that is, some seafood and vegetables, and what is very little."
"So every time the crew arrives at a location, they will definitely get off the ship and come to eat a special meal, and these stalls on the street are naturally waiting all night, these merchant ships who return late."
"According to that, these stalls should be quite profitable, right?"
Lin Qing added, "If you take a closer look, although some of the clothes worn by these stalls will turn white, but every piece of clothing is clean and tidy, and few patches can be seen, which proves that the people here live a rich life." ”
"As long as the income comes up, you are willing to work more, spend less, and open sources and reduce expenditure, naturally, your life will get better and better."
"The people here have two or three children in every family."
Xia Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise, "So much." “”
Lin Qing nodded, "Yes, it's different from our customs over there, here is the concept of having many children and grandchildren, and there are many families, even six or seven children." ”
"When women go out, they often carry one in front of them and one behind them, holding one in their left hand and one in their right hand, and maybe two large ones in front of them and leading the smaller ones."
As he spoke, Lin Qing pointed casually, "Look at the stall over there, isn't it just a woman working?" How many older kids are helping to clean up the dishes? ”
Xia Qingqing raised her eyes and looked, indeed, a woman in front of a stall was carrying water from a bucket, scrubbing dishes and chopsticks, and a larger girl was standing at the corner of the street, beckoning passing merchants to go to her house to eat seafood wontons.
Lin Qing continued, "Most of the people here are monogamous, unless they are very rich businessmen, they will marry a few more wives and concubines. ”
"It hasn't been long since this piece developed, and if you chase forward, the first twenty years were not as prosperous as it is now, and there were not so many people."
"These are all streets that were built later, and as trade developed and borders stabilized, more and more people traveled back and forth between the inland and the shore crossing."
"Specialize in selling some things that are needed in the inland, and by the way, bring out some satin fabrics that are rarely seen along the coast."
"In addition, Inner Mongolia also takes this route, and there is a shortage of tea and salt, as long as these two things are brought over, they will definitely take out the best local barley wine to entertain us."
"So, this piece of profit is very profitable!"
"We've been shopping for a day, have you figured out where to open your Baiyutang?"
Xia Qingqing looked at the surrounding businesses and said, "These streets are the most prosperous sections of the city center, and most of them are snacks. ”
"Or it's a place to stay in a sharp store, a big restaurant is rare, and I want to move the Baiyutang model in Beijing together."
"A building is dedicated to selling jewelry, and the opposite side is a restaurant where you can live and eat, if you say, two buildings are built correspondingly, I am afraid that there is no good land and location here to rebuild."
Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "Since your thing is selling jewelry, the people who buy it must not be these locals." ”
"There will be more passing ships and merchants in Xuzhou, so even if you deviate a little bit, the main street is fine."
"It's getting late. Why don't we start early tomorrow morning and spread around. ”
"Okay, then go back like this today to take a good shower, rest early, and bother Brother Lin Qing to accompany me, and I've been shopping for so long a day."
"Ahem, it's okay, the main task of coming back this time is to accompany you to Xuzhou."
Xia Qingqing smiled shyly.
"Welcome to the old prince and Xing Guogong,"
Xing Guogong waved his hand magnanimously and said, "No need to be polite, there is still an hour before this activity begins." ”
"Are you all ready?"
Lin Cai nodded confidently and said, "The two adults will look at it, they have already been prepared." ”
"Please two adults, move to the No. 1 private room on the second floor, which has the best location and can overlook the activities in the lobby on the entire first floor."
"Okay, then let's go upstairs and sit down," Xing Guogong agreed, and walked to the second floor first.
Lin Cai sent the two to the private room, and after serving tea, he withdrew, and checked again in the warehouse behind the first floor to give gifts to the students.
Lin Qian also followed him, and he instructed, "There must be no chaos today." ”
"Most of these learned people regard themselves as high-minded, and Shinong and industrialists and industrialists are the most inferior. It's just that I don't like us. ”
"If someone is polite to us, we must show full sincerity. These students are generally young, and they will be emotional when something happens. ”
"This is a manuscript that has been prepared in advance, with the content of the activity, and when they enter the door, they will hand out a stack, and if the number behind them is not enough, three or five students will read a manuscript."
"I will stand in the hall and give you an explanation, so with this cooperation, I think everyone can quickly understand the content and gameplay of this event, so that you can enter the main topic of the event faster."
Lin Qian nodded frequently and said, "Don't worry, let's prepare for this event, it's not a half-day situation, and we've done it before!" ”
"There's definitely no going to be a problem on my side. Just take care of the hall, these students. ”
"This is you, the first time the two of us have taken the lead alone, if this time it happens. Lin Cai pursed his lips.
His voice was slightly hoarse, "In the future, I think the county lord will pay more attention to us." ”
"So," he raised his hand and pinched Lin Qian's shoulder, his fingers exerted force slightly, Lin Qian also understood what he said, and gently patted his shoulder with his hand, "Don't worry." Nothing can go wrong. ”
The event officially began, and a large number of students flocked to the hall on the first floor of Baiyutang. The shopkeeper standing at the door handed out a stack of manuscripts and explained today's activities.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see the darts for this dart fighting event here, and the turntable has been prepared for everyone, as well as this dice, which are all sewn from cotton."
"There will be no dangerous situation, and there will be prizes below."
Lin Qing slapped his palm twice, and a group of shopkeepers walked in from the side door, with trays in their hands, and all the prizes were tightly covered with red cloths.
Lin Qian, Lin Cai started from both ends in turn, took the red cloth and walked to the middle, and a pair stretched out their hands at the same time to remove the red cloth.
There were bursts of applause in the hall, "This is Yanzhou's brush,"
"What I want to buy the most is Yantai, which is the most expensive, worth a thousand gold."
"And that book, I've always wanted to read it, but I can't borrow the real thing."
There were a lot of whispers in the hall, and Lin Cai saw that the atmosphere was almost bright, and announced the start of the event.
Everyone began to line up in an orderly manner, throwing darts one by one, and those who hit naturally rejoiced, and those who failed immediately hung their heads.
Luo Han Guo tea, who had already been given a deposit by the shopkeeper, said, "Although it is cold now, the weather is still dry, so I still drink a cup of Luo Han Guo tea to get rid of the heat." ”
"If you're hungry, you can also go to the table next to you, eat some pastries and take a break, and then spend three pennies to participate in this activity."
The students' confidence was encouraged by him one after another, and some of them not only answered the questions in the Book of Poetry, but also threw smiling faces in the dice rolling session.
Lin Qing shouted loudly, "Please invite the first student who won the lottery to walk into the back hall and listen to the lecture of the famous teacher." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and a student stammered and asked, "Really, is it really Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li?" ”
"These three are usually rare to see, are they really gathered together today?"
Lin Qing smiled and nodded and said, "In the compartment on the second floor, there are three famous teachers sitting in the private rooms of Tianzi room No. 2, room No. 3 and room No. 6. ”
"Next, I will ask this student who won the dice to choose the No. 1 private room to go."
