Lu Xu got up early.

Although Lu Zhou said to let him sleep a little longer and call him before leaving, this was the first time Lu Zhou had arranged such a big event, and he was afraid that something would happen temporarily, so he heard movement in Lu Zhou's room, so he got up and leaned on the side of the door to peek out through the crack in the door.

He didn't go out, and blocked the door, so that Yan Junqi couldn't get out.

He had to sit by the window and read the official document to pass the time, and after reading not many pages, he saw Lu Xu jumping up and running back to the bed as if he had been stepped on his tail, swishing into the quilt, pretending not to get up yet.

Yan Junqi: "......"

Sure enough, after a few breaths, Lu Zhou came to knock on the door.

"Brother, Brother Junqi, are you up?"

The child's tone unconsciously revealed a brisk excitement, just listening to this tone, you can know how much he is looking forward to this market.

Lu Zhou's acting skills are not good, he didn't control his emotions well, his brother's acting skills are much better, obviously he got up almost half an hour early, and when he opened his mouth at this time, he was just awake and not sober.

Lu Xu squeezed out a sleepy Hatche: "This is coming." ”

Lu Zhou was really deceived with an "um" and left happily: "I'll call Avi them." ”

Yan Junqi shook his head silently, handed Lu Xu his coat, and went to the kitchen to fetch hot water for washing.

Lu Xu came out after washing, and Avi and the others also packed up and prepared to leave.

The eight people, the oldest twenty and the youngest sixteen, were all living alone on someone else's territory for the first time, and it was finally easy to go to see their relatives, and each one was more anxious than the other.

Even Avi, who is always cool, seemed more impatient than usual, and kept urging Lu Zhou not to check and set off quickly.

Lu Xu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and secretly kissed Yan Junqi, "I'm leaving!" ”

Yan Junqi: "Well, help a little Zhouzhou, don't throw anything to him." ”

Lu Xu: "Don't worry! ”

He waved his hand, ran to sell the tofu cart, held the reins and drove for the others, "Are you all ready?" ”

"Alright, alright, tofu, bean curd, soy milk, all ready." The owner of the tofu shop was flattered, and the county lieutenant not only lent them a car with beans, but also came to help his family drive!

Lu Xu: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Who told him to take back most of the grain is beans, and found that there are some places here where beans can grow?

Li Zheng in two small towns told Lu Xu that they had found wild beans nearby, and he showed them to Avi yesterday, and there are a lot of small wild beans in the northwest, but they are all livestock feed, and they don't eat them.

They don't eat, Lu Xu guessed, eighty percent of them won't eat.

The last time he was in the market, he saw someone buying tofu, and it seemed that he accepted it quite well.

He taught them how to eat. He went to the tofu factory yesterday afternoon and asked the boss to make tofu, bean curd, and soy milk, and took advantage of the market to teach them how to turn beans into food.

It's okay if you can't learn, take beans to exchange tofu for food with them, or let the Daqi people help them grind them into flour.

Not everyone is rich among the barbarians, and some herdsmen who have no male men are especially hard, and if they can have an extra ration, they will have a little more hope.

Those wild beans have small grains, different varieties, and seem to be relatively hard, but they are enough to save the stomach, and they are the food that people can eat, much stronger than tree bark and grass roots.

In addition, Lu Xu also wants them to taste the soy products first, and then give them some beans to make seeds next spring, so that the herders can help scatter the seeds where they can grow wild beans.

If it can't grow, as long as it sprouts, even if it only grows seedlings, it can also be used as forage for cattle, sheep and horses, in short, it is not a loss.

When they were about to arrive, they saw the tents set up by the barbarians from a long distance, and some of them had arrived before them!

One of the eight teenagers saw the tent clearly, shouted "Grandma and Daddy" in barbarian language, and galloped his horse.

Their tribe was the farthest from here, and they must have set off early to avoid hurrying, and they had set up camp here last night.

According to Lu Zhou's arrangement, the 400 Tiger Ben troops were left at a distance of about 300 meters, and the 50 who wanted to help maintain order carried their "stop fighting" banner and continued to set off.

This time, Lu Zhou only arranged for ten people to guard the flag on the slope, and the official errand and the remaining Huben military carriages and goods formed a wall.

Before they could set up, they saw two teams coming this way in the distance, and this time, another person rushed towards that side, Lu Xu thought to himself, this would save them from recruiting people.

Lu Xu: "Little Lord Lu, Little Lord Lu!" ”

Lu Zhou: ???

Lu Xu: "Where is each of their tribes arranged?" You teach them first, and then ask them to guide their own people in and settle them in later. ”

How many people can already understand some of Daqi's words: ???

Didn't you say they only did translation?

Why did you become a guide?

Lu Xucai doesn't care if they have an opinion or not, they are friends anyway, if they don't help, will they exhaust their Lu Zhou to death?

He helped set up the tofu stall and made a fire to add firewood to cook soy milk.

He set up another stall on the other side, boiled oil and mixed the batter on the fire, and the two men tore the various mushrooms that had been washed in the morning into small pieces.

They are going to fry the mushrooms in a moment.

In addition to mushrooms and all kinds of wild vegetables he recovered, Lu Xu tried to develop all the ingredients in the northwest simply.

The barbarians from all departments arrived one after another, and with the reception of those eight people, the entrance was really much smoother, at least they asked their own people, and there was one less language barrier than asking Lu Zhou and the officials.

As for the other new tribes in the vicinity who heard the news, they could only rely on Lu Zhou's official mission to command.

At the end of the last time, Lu Xu asked the eight departments to help him publicize, and Lu Zhou also heard from his new friends that there were neighboring tribes who were curious to come to the market, and this time he prepared the location for the new tribes when he arranged them, but he had to communicate and arrange them on the spot, and why didn't the eight departments have their own people to lead the way into the market.

The barbarians who came from afar also brought tents for the night, and when they saw that there were people setting up tents on this side of the market, they also set up them dozens of meters away, and Lu Zhou hurriedly ran to communicate with others to get rid of the venue that was prepared for the competition.

Now, even the track is clear.

The sun has only been rising for a short time, and the temperature has not yet risen, and the market has already begun to come alive.

Daqi's stalls were set up, and the barbarians' stalls were also set up one after another.

This time, Lu Xu did not write orders with the ministries in advance, calling on them to also bring herdsmen from their own tribes to set up stalls and exchanges.

A few female workers who sewed bedding in the county government asked Lu Zhou to exchange some rags, went home to make buttons, and took them to the market to sell.

There is also a family that knows how to carpenter, and has made some small benches suitable for putting in the camp tent, and they also come to sell them and try them out.

There are also baskets, baskets, and straw mats made of hay and thorns, and children's toys.

The stalls prepared by Lu Zhou are roughly divided according to function, where to go to sell food, where to sell daily necessities, where to sell clothes and fabrics, and where to eat......

He didn't deliberately separate the barbarians from Daqi, nor did he separate the tribes, so that you have me and I have you, so as to facilitate communication between everyone.

The merchants who came to the market learned a little barbarian language, and it was not a problem to say hello and chat, and if they couldn't understand and couldn't speak clearly, they would just call for an interpreter.

He, his brother, Avi, and a few Daqi people who have learned Barbarian well, and a few friends who have learned Daqi for several days in the county government can all make cameo interpreters, and on the barbarian side, there are also two tribes that have interpreters, and anyone can help.

Before Lu Zhou could explain to others that he couldn't understand who he was looking for, he was killed by his brother about the translation-

When his brother was busy, he ran to the entrance, and when he saw which tribe had entered the field, he told which tribe how smart the children they had sent to the county town to learn the Daqi language were, how exquisite their skills were, how enthusiastic they were, and what they didn't understand, so he asked the eight of them, and all eight of them were competent for translation work.

The new tribe also hurry up to learn, don't let the child lose at the starting line, look at others, you can help your tribe buy, sell, and bargain!

In addition to Avi's seven: ???

Avi who can translate but doesn't want to: ......

The younger brother of one of them tugged at his sleeve, curiously pointed in the direction where Lu Xu was running and asked, "Brother, what is that?" ”

Tofu brain, shiitake mushroom xiaolongbao, boiled fish balls, fried mushrooms......

Not a single one will be said!

Why don't they talk about the sports day for a while!

The mushrooms wrapped in batter were brushed into the pot, the aroma of fried oil spread out in the empty bazaar, the golden fried mushrooms came out of the pot, and Lu Xu made a cameo appearance as a guide and returned to his old business.

He shouted in the language of the two ethnic groups: "Take a look, take a look, taste it for free, fragrant and crispy fried mushrooms, don't you need money if it's not delicious!" ”

"Are you hungry, are you thirsty, we have soy milk to drink for free, tofu brain to eat for free, don't miss it when you pass by!"

The barbarian who had seen Lu Xu last time couldn't help but ask Lu Zhou: "Isn't that your county lieutenant of Daqi?" ”

Lu Zhou translated what his brother said in the morning: "My brother is resting today, setting up a stall to sell snacks to make money to support his family. ”

Barbarians: ???

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: No one is busier than me! (Look at the eight unlucky ones surrounded by the clansmen) (reiterate) No one is busier than us!

Chapter 295: Group Competition

Lu Xu was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he asked for a translator from the Debuck Department to help him.

The translator named Atta has nothing to love, and once again regrets why he learned Daqi in the first place.

Lu Xu: "You're happy!" I've invited you to drink soy milk and eat tofu brain for free, aren't you happy? ”

Atta: "......"

His people were happy, but he wasn't. Obviously, everyone eats for nothing, why is he the only one doing the work?

Someone asked if this was milk, and Lu Xu patted him, "Translate quickly." ”

Atta repeats what he said today like a machine: "No, this is made from grinding beans into powder, and after processing, it can be made into such a soft food, called tofu brain, and it can also be made into harder tofu ......"

Seeing Lu Xu looking at him again, Atta said bitterly: "It is said that it can also be made into things like bean skin, dried tofu, and hard tofu, if we like it, they will bring it next time." ”

Lu Xu: "Focus! ”

Atta took a deep breath: "Soy milk and tofu brain are free, you can choose the original flavor, put sugar, and the tofu brain can also be poured with salty seasonings, which is the stuff in that pot, and you can exchange wild beans in the future." ”

He grabbed a handful of wild beans and soybeans that were used as samples to show the crowd, and explained the difference between them.

The sky can be seen, and he doesn't know how to translate many words!

His pain is still playing out everywhere.

Lu Zhou foresightfully considered the problem that the barbarians had no coins and no scattered silver, and set up an exchange point.

Whoever brings something that is not easy to exchange or has a high value can go to the exchange point to assess how much it is worth, and first exchange it for a voucher issued by their county government - evolved from the coupon developed by Lu Xu back then - to buy items, and if the voucher is not spent in the end, you can go to the exchange point before the end of the market to exchange for an item of the same value.

Of course, the merchant who received the voucher can also come and exchange it for an item of the same value before the end of the day.
