Chapter 208: Back to the era of barter
Nan Ci also looked in the direction where the man waved, and there was a row of rickshaws parked over there.
As the man waved, the man in first line pulled his car and ran towards it.
This rickshaw is very similar to the rickshaw of the past, except that the material is different, and the person pulling the rickshaw is dressed differently than before.
But despite the differences, it's still a rickshaw.
Look at this rickshaw. The feeling in Nan Ci's heart was even more weird.
"Beauty, don't worry, he pulls the cart quickly and steadily, and it won't take long to get you to the place."
Hearing the man's words, Nan Ci blinked, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and got into the car with the old Taoist.
After sitting down, Nan Ci looked at the man, "Are you running to follow?" ”
"That's right! Beauty, don't worry, I'm running fast. ”
Nan Ci nodded, "That's fine!" By the way, what's your name? ”
"My name is Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng replied with a smile, "Cheap name, easy to feed." ”
Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Nan Ci just bent the corners of his mouth, and did not judge the meaning of his words too much.
It's just a name, where is the difference between high and low?
Those who divide the rich and the low are always just people.
Zhang Cheng didn't say anything when he saw Nan, and didn't say anything more, just patted the shoulder of the cart puller and signaled that he could go.
Just like Zhang Cheng said, the speed of this coachman pulling the car is very fast and very stable.
The roads in the city are not asphalt, but compacted dirt roads.
Although there will be some fine stone particles on it, it is generally harmless.
Sitting in the car, there was no bumpy feeling.
More than ten minutes later, the rickshaw stopped.
Along the way, Nan Ci was not idle, and kept observing the surrounding environment.
The streets in the city are flat and stable, and the width and narrowness of the road surface are similar.
On both sides of the street, there are storefronts.
It's like a pre-apocalyptic city, and these little shops are so varied and varied.
Almost every small shop has customers in twos and threes, and I don't know if the business is good or not, but at least it looks very lively and full of fireworks.
Judging by the specifications and architectural style, it doesn't look like the site was built in a hurry.
On the contrary, it seems to have been carefully planned and carefully built.
Could it be that this place existed before the end of the world?
After the end of the world came, it was directly converted into a base?
Although he had this conjecture in his heart, Nan Ci was not in a hurry to ask Zhang Cheng.
The car had just stopped, and Zhang Chengcheng ran over from behind.
The driver who pulled the cart and Zhang Cheng both ran wildly, but there was not even the slightest sweat on their faces, and even their faces were only slightly red.
Just by looking at them, you can see that their physical fitness is far beyond the average person.
Zhang Cheng's face was still accompanied by a smile, "Beauty, look, how do we pay the fare?" ”
Nan Ci glanced at Zhang Cheng lightly, "How much is the fare?" ”
"Two taels of grain."
"Raw cooked?"
Although they are both two taels, the two taels of raw grain and cooked grain are not the same thing at all.
After the raw grain is cooked with water, it is not just two taels.
In this respect, of course, raw food is more cost-effective.
"Just cook it!" Zhang Cheng smiled, his attitude was more respectful, and his back was more bent.
Hearing him say this, Nan Ci didn't talk nonsense, went around behind the old Taoist, pulled his backpack open a crack, and stretched out a hand to go in.
After a while, Nan Ci pulled out his hand, and at this time he was holding a cold mixed noodle steamed bun in his hand.
The skin of the steamed bun is a little black and yellow, hard, and there is almost no fragrance.
But Nan Ci clearly saw that as she took out the steamed buns, Zhang Cheng and the coachman's eyes straightened, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time.
Obviously, for this steamed bun, both of them are very greedy.
Nan Ci let the reaction of the two of them see it in their eyes, but they didn't see it, and quietly handed the steamed bun to the coachman.
The coachman did not reach out to pick it up at the first time, but rubbed his hands on his body and blew them with his mouth, and then stretched out his hand excitedly.
Nan Ci gently put the steamed bun on the coachman's hand, "It's troublesome." ”
The coachman put his hands together and held the steamed buns tightly in his palms, "No trouble, no trouble!" Then I want to use the car, let Zhang Cheng greet me at any time, and be on call. ”
Zhang Chengzheng looked at the coachman with some envy, and when he heard the coachman's words, he scolded directly with a smile, "You can do it!" Running such a trip and earning such a big steamed bun is enough for you to steal the fun, and you even have to kick your nose in the face. ”
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
"Who cares if you're wrong, go quickly, don't delay the matter of the beauty."
Zhang Cheng scolded and drove the coachman away.
When he didn't talk to the car, Zhang Cheng's back was straight.
But when he turned his head to look at Xiang Nanci, his back bent down again.
"Beauty, don't be like him.
You see this Sichuan flavor house, the door is thoughtful, and the decoration is also very stylish, of course, this is not the most important.
The most important thing is that the chefs of this restaurant are all local people from Sichuan and Chongqing, who have been learning to cook since they were teenagers and have been doing it for decades. ”
When Zhang Cheng introduced, Nan Ci also looked up at the store's sign.
Just like Zhang Cheng's introduction, the plaque above the store reads "Sichuan Flavor House".
The plaque is made of wood, and the font is in block letters, revealing a simple and old feeling as a whole.
Although the door of the store in front of me was closed, standing at the door, I could vaguely smell the spicy smell wafting from inside.
From this fragrance, you can know that the chef who cooks the dishes is really good.
Nan Ci looked at Zhang Cheng, "How do you pay for eating here?" ”
It can't be food too, right?
Just thinking about it, I listened to Zhang Chengdao, "Now the money is useless, and no one cares about luxury goods or jewelry, so gold still has some purchasing power."
If you eat here, you can pay for it in gold or exchange it for food.
In the case of grain, depending on the type and quality of the grain, one to one with good quality, one to two or one to three and one to four with poor quality. ”
Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Nan Ci was a little surprised.
But when I think about it, I think it's reasonable.
If there is no monetary system, isn't it back to the era of barter?
Knowing how to pay the bill, Nan Ci no longer hesitated, and went directly to push the door inside, and at the same time did not forget to greet Zhang Cheng, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look, when we eat, we still need you to tell us about the situation of this base." ”
Zhang Cheng looked ecstatic and kept nodding, "Okay, good!" Beauty, don't worry, I will definitely know everything, and I will let you know this base in the shortest possible time. ”
