Section 4 Puri Bazaar

Xin Daqiang had a good harvest, not only hunted a litter of six badgers, but also wandered in the mountains for a day, but did not encounter a fierce beast that came out to feed, I have to say that he was lucky.

The badger was shot with stones and wooden arrows, and the blood flowed everywhere, and it looked very bloody and terrifying. However, Xin Yu didn't feel bloody at all, it wasn't that he was cruel by nature, he was really tired after a day, and his empty stomach was hooked to eat. Moreover, he hadn't eaten meat for a while, and he would subconsciously try to avoid the chicken coop near the corner of the yard for the past few days. He was afraid that he couldn't help it, that was the only two laying hens in the family, and it was also the only "renewable resource" in the family.

Looking at his son's longing eyes, Xin Daqiang almost asked Pan Guihua to cook the badger. After enduring it for a long time, he said to Xin Yu ruthlessly: "Aman, this is going to change Uncle Zhiran's clothes, will Abba fight you fight again in two days?"

Xin Yu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and nodded sensibly: "Abba, tomorrow we will take it to the town to exchange money." ”

.........

Xin Yu was lucky to be reborn in the new world, which seemed to him to be a blessing. However, the so-called Heavenly Dao is one of the fifty escapes, but the environment in which he is reborn is not perfect. After all, he is not the darling of Heaven, at most he is an illegitimate child, so he is just reincarnated in a poor family, and even the place of reincarnation is miserable.

Xinjiazhuang, Puli Town, Haibin County, Haizhou Prefecture, Daliang State, from the perspective of administrative ownership, Xinjiazhuang is still a part of civilized society. However, the Great Liang Kingdom is located in the southeast corner of the entire continent, and the Haizhou Prefecture is located in the southeastern part of the Great Liang Kingdom. The land of one state occupies a narrow peninsula of 100,000 square kilometers, which shows that Haizhou Prefecture definitely does not belong to the core area of the Great Liang State, and it is definitely an economically backward and inpopulated state. Puli Town, where Xinjiazhuang is located, is the town closest to the sea, and it is 600 kilometers away from Haizhou City, the seat of Haizhou Prefecture.

Although the transportation in this world is not only by walking, but backwardness is beyond doubt, and there is not even an official road from Haizhou City to Puli Town, if it is not more than 20 kilometers north of Puli Town, there is a big river that runs through the east and west, this 600 kilometers journey definitely needs to walk for two months, which is definitely beyond the rule of the Great Liang State. Fortunately, Xinjiazhuang is only less than ten miles away from Puli Town, otherwise Xin Yu would definitely think that he is living in a primitive society.

Although Puli Town nominally belongs to Haibin County, the seat of Haibin County is in Haizhou City. Because of the vast land and sparsely populated area, Puli Town is more extensive than ordinary counties, although the town is not as prosperous as other counties, but in terms of area, it is not bad.

It was the first time for Xin Yu to come to Puli Market, so everything felt fresh, and he had never had the opportunity to get so close to the market in his previous life, so even though it seemed far less prosperous than the market in his previous life, he still had a good time.

There is only one main road in the bazaar, and all the shops are located on both sides of the main road. It looks a little crowded, but there are only about 30 stores in total. On both sides of the dirt road that extends from the main road, there are many small stalls lined up. There are those who sell sugar, salt, prey, needles and threads, and more are those who sell marine fish. Because Puri town is less than six miles east of the sea, there are many people who go out to sea to fish. It is said that there are many fishermen who live on boats to avoid paying taxes, and their homes are boats, and they are also called Tanmin because they resemble eggs floating on the sea.

Walking through the lively vendor area, Xin Daqiang carried the simply processed badger meat on his back and went straight to the center of the main road. Even if the six badgers were drained and then removed from the water, they would have more than eighty catties. If it is sold at a stall, although it is definitely more expensive than the hotel acquisition, it is certainly impossible to sell it all. Even if the temperature is not high yet, fresh game is not resistant to storage, and if there is too much left, it will be ruined.

Because he was satisfied by the badger's water last night and this morning, and was attracted by the shouting along the way, Xin Yu did not show his reluctance to lose the badger's meat, but watched with interest as the father bargained with the hotel shopkeeper.

In the end, a pound of badger meat and a copper plate reached a deal, compared to a copper plate and ten pounds of sea fish that I just heard, this price should be acceptable. However, Xin Yu also understands that the seafood near the sea cannot be sold. The purchasing power of copper plates is actually not high, a copper plate is worth three catties of coarse grain, so calculated, the hotel shopkeeper is not very kind. It's just that there is only one hotel in the town, and only this hotel can eat so many fresh prey at once, so it is inevitable that it will suffer in price.

Xin Daqiang got the money and counted it, put it into the blanket with a precious place, and was so satisfied that he shook it and listened to the sound, he was very happy that he had such a surplus of money. Then he waved his hand and said heroically: "Aman, let's go to the stationery store and buy a set of fine pen, ink, paper and inkstone as a bundle, and Uncle Zhiran will accept you happily." ”

However, Xin Daqiang, who has never paid attention to the stationery market, began to be dumbfounded as soon as he entered the stationery store. Judging from the exterior decoration of this stationery store, just the plaque of Lan Juxuan reveals the elegance of the tall book. This didn't dampen Xin Daqiang's confidence, and with the money he got from badger meat, he felt that he was still qualified to spend a handful here.

But as soon as he entered, he found that the whole store was empty, not to mention the endless flow of customers like other stores, and even the goods for sale were not placed. Although the landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall may be commodities, and the orchid chrysanthemum potted plants placed everywhere can also be sold, which looks very cultural, but the stationery store is a stationery store, and you do it without taking into account the feelings of the customer?

The town of Puri is remote and has a small cultural atmosphere. The main customers of the stationery store are other merchants who need to keep accounts, and they do bulk business, and there is no need to put samples outside at all. On weekdays, there are few individual customers here, not to mention that the goods are contaminated with dust, and they are also easy to be corroded by the sea breeze, especially the paper, as long as it is blown by the sea breeze for a few days, it will turn yellow, and even lose its toughness after a long time.

There was no way, Xin Daqiang had to call his guy to ask, and then he was even more dumbfounded. Just now, he thought he was rich, but as soon as he made an offer, his previous illusory confidence was suddenly vented, and it was all gone. Anyway, both pros and cons are the same sentence, expensive! Only more expensive is not the most expensive, and pen and ink are especially expensive. Because the material used to make the brush is usually visible, it can be made by making some pig hair with a reed pipe, and if you are not elegant, you can use the ink by scraping some pot bottom ash, flue ash and water. Therefore, the store sells no ordinary pen and ink at all. The material of the pen from the hair head to the grip rod is all made of precious materials, and the wolf sandalwood is here, but the lowest grade. And the ink block is even more amazing, what pine smoke ink, bamboo incense ink, all of them are high-end goods, the price, Xin Daqiang calculated it simply, selling 600 badgers is still almost. And paper and inkstones, there are cheap. But this cheapness is only relative to the pen and ink, the cheapest thirty-two carat size yellow paper, in Xin Yu's eyes, how to look like the fire paper in the previous life, even if he dared to ask for a copper plate, it was simply sold as a banknote. And an inkstone made of ordinary bluestone is even priced at fifty copper plates, using the theory of the little master of the owner, this bluestone is for the general public, and a copper plate is too much.

Xin Daqiang, who has a total net worth of only eighty-two copper plates, finally returned to the psychological position of the poor at this time, and his cramped appearance made the young man despise. Fortunately, he didn't think he was a nouveau riche just now, and he also asked for a good set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the store, so the guy just looked down on him with contempt.

Xin Yu saw that his father was hesitant, so he said in a low voice: "Abba, or buy all the paper." ”

Xin Daqiang imagined that in the store, his son didn't say that he could make other things by himself, but thinking about his son's ability, there was really no need to waste money on other things.

And Xin Yu's mind is no longer on stationery, since he entered Lan Juxuan, he was attracted by the interior decoration. If you want to talk about cultural atmosphere, it is all virtual, at least the shopkeeper who reads books behind the counter is more cultural.

He judged from the interior decoration that the owner of this shop must be elegant or vassal elegant. This discovery made him very happy, it is really suitable for his ship model to sell to such a customer, as long as the owner has a little artistic energy, the purchase price is definitely better than taking it to the outside stall. Because although the market is densely populated, it is full of "lower riba people" like my father, so it is not fair to say whether it can be sold.

Thinking of this, Xin Yu began his performance. While the guy went inside to get the paper, and the shopkeeper buried himself in the sea of books, he pretended to be disdainful and said, "Abba, is this really the best stationery store in town?"

Xin Daqiang nodded and replied, he didn't know his son's plan, and he was naturally not so compatible. The other person in the store, the shopkeeper, turned the corners of his mouth upward, but muttered in his heart: "Isn't this nonsense? There is only one, of course it is the best." ”

No one praised him, and Xin Yu was not disappointed, and continued to taunt unceremoniously: "Abba, why doesn't this stationery store have any characteristics at all?"

Not to mention Xin Daqiang, even Xin Yu himself, in fact, he doesn't know what a stationery store in this world should be like. But it doesn't matter, the hardest thing in the world is to make things perfect, and the easiest thing to do is to find fault with imperfect things.

"The little doll is not big, but the tone is not small. The shopkeeper was so stimulated that he came ashore from the sea of books, he didn't think that Xin Yu was cute, and even if he liked cute children, he didn't think he could object to his elaborate design, that it was already impeccable.

In his previous life, there was a waste of money, and the decoration style of Xin Yu's residence was not as frequent as changing clothes, at least every year he would find a designer to reorganize it. Eastern and Western classical, modern tyrants, warm home, post-modern style, abstract art, science fiction fantasy, in short, the decoration format of a set of five villas can not be said to be all-inclusive, but it has been accumulated for more than ten years. So, even without a plan, he doesn't think how beautifully decorated the place is.

stuck out his tongue, Xin Yu didn't apologize - it was just to sell his own ship model, if he admitted that he was wrong, why did he belittle others in the first place, wouldn't it become a stupid fork to make enemies casually. So he pretended to be aggrieved and muttered: "Originally, a literary and art store near the sea has no local characteristics, how can it attract customers to develop and grow!"

Although it was a whisper, it was clearly audible in the quiet room, and Xin Yu deliberately said it to the shopkeeper, so the shopkeeper naturally listened to it all, originally he didn't plan to deal with a four-year-old child, but when he heard that he couldn't develop and grow, it wasn't clear that his business ability was not good, so he immediately put down the book, walked in front of the two, and said angrily: "Hmph! Old man Eun Zilou, little doll, you can make it clear, how can you call it no local characteristics?"

"En, en, badger meat?" The shopkeeper's tone was a little angry, Xin Daqiang didn't hear it clearly for a while, he just felt that it was too coincidental, he just bought badger meat, and he would meet the shopkeeper called badger meat.
