Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seeing All the Chang'an Flowers in One Day

The Quarry City is also an area rich in stone, and most of the houses are built with stone foundations, but the houses are really low, and the walls are made of various woods.

There are not even many mud-walled houses made of loess, and the overall impression is gray, low, and dilapidated.

This made Yu Youquan, a countryman who saw the county for the first time in his life, really disappointed!

But it may happen that there is a market today, and the market is still very lively as a whole.

In just a short time, Yu Youquan saw a large number of people carrying a burden to the market, some buying and selling eggs, some selling vegetables and game, and occasionally all kinds of mountain goods.

Most of these people were dressed in simple and plain clothes, dressed in short brown, and the style was much the same, mostly linen, almost all of them had patches.

Most of the shoes are straw sandals, but there are also those who wear shoes, and there are many who are barefoot, and there are very few who really wear clothes and wide sleeves.

In these days, clothes are not clothes, they are worn on the body...... Money!

It's almost equivalent to showing off your wealth nakedly, telling everyone plainly - I, rich, diamond king!

Therefore, Yu Youquan and Master Zheng Xuancheng can attract great attention wherever they go.

The way of trading is money, and more often it is barter.

Even if the money is used, it is basically copper coins, and the purchasing power of a copper coin is also very high.

Yu Youquan saw an old woman buy an old hen with more than 30 copper coins, although there was an amazing reason for the old woman's bargaining skills, but the money was indeed valuable.

As for the silver, I hardly see it!

Especially eggs, Yu Youquan really didn't expect that the value was much higher than he imagined.

He even saw a woman holding an egg in exchange for a small half jar of soy sauce, which opened his eyes.

As for the happiest children, there are still many children who follow their parents to the market, and they want to see all kinds of strange food.

The average parent is absolutely reluctant to buy these flashy things, but there are still some adults who spoil their children and bear to buy some for their children.

For a while, some quarrels can always be heard in the ears.

Or blame the stall vendor for bringing the child badly, or one spouse blames the other party for spoiling the child too much, and the party who is blamed at this time can only refute it.

Or there are more people, and it is lively, and there are all kinds of people who rush to the market to join in the fun.

This kind of lively and extraordinary gathering, although it is extremely simple in Yu Youquan's eyes, I have to say that this kind of fireworks in the world is indeed the most gratifying!

In just a short period of time, his long-term isolation in the deep mountains and old forests, and the fierceness of his continuous battle with wild beasts have been diluted a lot.

It's just that what Yu Youquan didn't expect was the performance of Master Zheng Xuancheng!

When he saw the caramel candy, he couldn't help but ask him if he wanted to eat it, Yu Youquan said no, and soon he had all kinds of pastries made of caramel in his hand.

When he saw the preserved fruit, he would also ask him diligently if he wanted to eat it, Yu Youquan said if he didn't want to, and then the master and apprentice had all kinds of preserved fruits in their hands.

There are even a variety of toys!

Yu Youquan was powerless to complain for a while.

Is this really treating him like a child?

Toys such as tile dogs and puppets, he really can't arouse any interest, it's too shoddy!

However, Yu Youquan suspected that he, the master, was completely greedy for himself, and then used his name to eat all kinds of food, and interpreted "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel" to the fullest!

But.

He still likes this kind of master, and while he has all the qualities of a traditional scholar, he also has some cynicism in his bones.

It's a bit of an old naughty boy!

The location of the market is relatively scattered, although it is not as exaggerated as "buy horses in the east market, saddle sheath in the west market, buy bridles in the south market, and buy long whips in the north market", but the various goods transactions are indeed specially divided into specific areas.

Walking out of various daily goods trading areas, the master and apprentice plunged into the high-end consumption area.

Here, Yu Youquan successively saw jewelry shops, fat powder shops, silk shops, and bookstores, and the people who came here to shop were relatively wealthy.

Of course, there are more beggars in rags!

From time to time, you can hear the servants around the nobles shouting and scolding, and the quintessence of the country such as "blind your dog's eyes" and "pickled and poured" gushed out.

Of course, you can occasionally meet some well-wishers, scolding and scolding, but they will still reward some copper coins.

Some nobles who like to have fun will occasionally throw out copper coins, causing a group of beggars to grab them frantically and even fight.

The nobles will even reward another copper coin when they are comfortable!

Of course, this move will inevitably cause some criticism, and many people will show it.

"You're not angry?"

Zheng Xuancheng asked unexpectedly.

Yu Youquan smiled and said, "Only when people are full of food are they qualified to talk about dignity, that noble man spent money to have fun, and those beggars also got real benefits, maybe they even lived a few lives because of this!" ”

Cang Liao knows etiquette, which Yu Youquan, who has rich experience in hungry stomachs, knows it well.

Zheng Xuancheng nodded.

The apprentice's cognitive outlook was indeed a little unexpected to him, but his thoughts and thoughts were very different from those of his family.

To be precise, Yu Youquan's experience has created his lower vision and cognition!

The shopping continues.

Later, Yu Youquan met some jugglers, surrounded by audiences, and cheers were heard from time to time.

There are also men and women who sold their bodies to bury their fathers, and they also saw a woman with a marked appearance being picked up on the street.

It is said that the family fled, and due to various accidents, relatives passed away one after another, just asking for an inch of land so that their relatives could be buried in peace.

There are even warriors with swords, who meet in the street to duel due to contradictions, which attracts everyone's applause, and even the government doesn't care.

I have to say that the Jin people still advocate force!

The most outrageous thing should belong to a team of soldiers dressed in stubborn clothes riding through the market, Yu Youquan didn't know what happened, but after these soldiers left, there were some passers-by who said meaningfully, "It is estimated that he will be imprisoned again for slandering the monarch and arguing about the government."

This confuses him!

Is this going to engage in a literal hell?

I haven't heard that Dajin is still guilty of words?!

Of course, these are all small episodes, and when you really get to the busiest area, everything will be beautiful.

The colors of the world seem to be starting to brighten!

It is still a stone house, but it has begun to have more carved beams and painted buildings.

It is still a wooden door wall, but it has more vermilion lacquer colors.

The biggest change is the fabric of the clothes of pedestrians in the market.

The number of people in wide clothes and belts increased, and the number of people wearing silk increased, and even the complexion of the man and woman became fairer and more attractive.

It's like entering a whole new world!

The most surprising thing for him was the opening of these men and women shopping!

Or because of the autumn tiger, many women on the street are dressed very coolly, not only the lotus arms are exposed, but some women wear light yarns, even almost transparent.

The embroidered bandeau and the white and tender scenery on the chest inside the light gauze are eye-catching!

Even some men wore gauze clothes, and the colors of their clothes were extraordinarily bright, and some even had hairpins on their heads.

This made Yu Youquan speechless for a while!

In fact, he was not the only one who was speechless, and many of these men were very proud when asked by passers-by, and it was said that this was a new style from Jianye.

Of course, those who can really afford to wear transparent gauze clothes are basically either rich or expensive.

What's even more bizarre is that when I saw Zheng Xuancheng, a handsome uncle, there were still women who boldly flattered him, and there were some more daring women, seeing that he was cute, they actually moved their hands and feet.

Yu Youquan was a little speechless.

Is this really the ancients in his impression?

That's too open-minded!

And those women who did things to him and kept praising him for his handsomeness still wanted to use him as a springboard as his teacher!

Hell, the Master is unexpectedly comfortable with these things!

How could he be so skilled?

A small shopping trip made Yu Youquan realize that his master was far from what he imagined!

Later, Yu Youquan saw a lot of stone carving shops.

It is really worthy of being a famous stone production area, and all kinds of stone carvings in the stone carving shop are beautiful and dazzling.

Such as.

The carp leaps over the dragon gate, talks about Rui Cong Zhiye, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the marquis of Yu beheads are killed, the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles, and the swallows return to the nest......

Seeing these stone carvings is really eye-opening.

Here Yu Youquan saw the use of silver for the first time, and the shot was quite generous.

and haggling for a few pennies, they are really two worlds.

Especially when I heard that it was the work of Master Liyi, it was particularly sought after, and one of the carp jumping over the dragon gate was fried to more than 500 taels!

At this moment, an extremely surprised voice sounded, "Lord, are you back?" ”

In a short period of time, the stone carving shop became a sensation!

Yu Youquan was dumbfounded to find out that this stone carving shop that was making money every day was also Zheng's industry!

And what made him even more speechless was that he, the master, obviously forgot that there was such a stone carving shop in his house!

In my previous life, I saw on the Internet that some people bought a house and forgot it, and I thought it was incredible, and I felt that the person's head was abnormal.

At present, this scene made Yu Youquan begin to understand a little!

It's not that the rich are careless, it's not that the rich are pretending, but that they really have too many industries, and they really can't remember what industries they have!

Poverty limits his imagination!
