Chapter 656 Market
Zhao Ying frowned, and said solemnly: "Ah Xiang, don't be afraid, I will tell Cheng Zhifu and others to guard the door tightly and never let this Huang into Guzhuang."

Gu Xiang: "...Thank you."

Actually, she wasn't particularly worried.

Naturally, I was worried for a second at first, but the worry disappeared in a flash, and I was really not afraid of him going.

What Gu Xiang was most worried about at the beginning was the safety of Gu Zhuang. When he first arrived, he worried a lot about Gu Zhuang. After all, it was almost killed by bandits.

In Guzhuang for such a long time, what Gu Xiang has done best to help his hometown is probably various measures to resist banditry.

Every household is connected by tunnels, and supplies are stored directly in the mountains. Most of the patrol teams in the village are soldiers from the Courageous Army. They train daily and eat meat.

Not to mention, the elites she brought to the capital have all returned to Gu Zhuang now, plus the master guards of the forbidden army brought by Chen Xu...

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "Xueying, let's go around the village and buy some mountain goods and go back to give my father and mother an extra meal."

"There are also peaches that the little girls like to eat. Let's see if I can take some away."

This detour, I caught up with the big fair held only once a month in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages.

The market was on the way back to Zhuang. Gu Xiang discussed with Li Sheng, and seeing that the Duke was not in a hurry, the two decided to take a stroll along the way.

As for Zhao Ying, Gu Xiang felt that he might not even know what going to the market meant, so he simply didn't ask for his opinion.

The local specialties in the surrounding villages and the mountain products in the mountains are the most sold in such a big market, and the quality is also the best.

Many people have accumulated good things for several months or more than half a year before they will be sold in the market.

The location of the market is next to the official road post station leading to Shouling County. The terrain is flat, which can be regarded as a rather large piece of flat land in the local area.

Changjin, Guzhuang, and Dali Village are about the same distance from here. If you look from above, you should be able to see a huge umbrella.

On the day of Daji, folks from all villages set out before dawn. When the sky is bright, the market is crowded with people and it is very lively.

As soon as Gu Xiang came, she saw a few hawkers selling canned side dishes of 'Gu Ji'. She glanced at them, and found that the most expensive one was not meat sauce. Chili sauce was more than two pennies more expensive than meat sauce.

This chili sauce, when Gu Xiang made it, it was so simple, it only added salt and wine, poured it with boiling hot oil, put it in a jar to ferment, in their "Gu Ji" they didn't sell it outside, it was a gift Side dishes and the like.

Now it's sold at a high price in the market.

Gu Xiang looked around, just in time to see a familiar villager, discussing business with a businessman from other places.

This team of merchants has more than a dozen chariots and horses, and seven or eight retinues. The clothes and dress of the shopkeeper seem to be from the south of the Yangtze River, but the accent is a bit northwest.

The retinues also dressed in various styles.

Li Sheng lowered his voice and said, "It's a businessman who has traveled a long way."

Zhao Ying nodded.

"If you want to talk about my chili sauce, it is a magic medicine. You should have heard that the well-known General Wang of our brave army was dying of illness last month. Several doctors in the army shook their heads and said to him. The wife and children in the family were all terrified."

"At that time, someone brought this chili sauce over and added two spoonfuls of it to General Wang's biscuits. General Wang sweated a little immediately and whetted his appetite. He ate a biscuit with chili sauce and drank a bowl of porridge. , I can go out and run the next day.”

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it. The chili sauce of 'Gu Ji' is even approved by His Majesty today."

The businessman's face is shining, and so are his eyes.

People say that this chili is more expensive than pepper.

What's even more rare is that it was not very expensive.As long as there are eighteen characters and one jar, this jar is not a small jar, and the whole family can eat it for half a month.

When he settled down at the post station last month, he happened to meet a peddler who brought chili sauce to the post station to sell. The sauce was delicious, and I bought a bottle myself.

I didn't expect to eat this, but I thought it was really good.

He hurriedly asked the peddler about the origin of the chili sauce, and as soon as he asked, a group of guests from all over the world in the post station started talking about the chili sauce.

This thing is really a good thing. It has only become popular in recent months. Some people are not used to spicy food, but this chili sauce can actually eat some.

The one with a slightly spicy taste will only feel fragrant if you are not used to spicy food.

The businessman listened to the relevant legends, and some people said that chili sauce is a magic medicine, which can bring the dead back to life, and they have noses and eyes.

He doesn't quite believe it, but he also thinks it must be a good thing.

It's just that he didn't make up his mind to buy too much at the time. They had already made a list of what they wanted to buy along the way, and he was always uneasy when he suddenly had to move out money to buy other things.

But a few days ago, news came out from the capital that the chili sauce had actually entered the palace, and both His Majesty and the Queen Mother loved it very much.

These businessmen are very well-informed, and he happened to be nearby, so they hurried to Guzhuang, the place where the chili sauce is produced. Unexpectedly, they ran into Daji before arriving in Guzhuang, and luckily bought this batch of chili peppers Sauce.

Gu Xiang listened to their business discussion with great interest, and was very happy to hear it.

"Don't eat it, it's something from the country people, you can touch it, it's disgusting or not."

Gu Xiang, Zhao Ying and the others all turned their heads to look over, and saw a little lady wearing a light green long-sleeved shirt and a bright pearl flower on her head, holding her mouth shut, staring at her eyes, covering her nose, Even looking at the stools randomly placed on the ground, his face was full of disgust.

Li Sheng frowned.

Gu Xiang smiled, so that he would not be upset just because someone said something disgusting. There happened to be an old carpenter carving hairpins next to him. The work in his hands was obviously excellent. It changed.

Curious, she bought a lotus hairpin with twin pedicles and inserted it directly into her head.

"Hahahaha, these country folks are really interesting, they even stabbed their hair with a wooden pole."

Gu Xiang looked sideways, seeing the little lady pointing at her without any scruples and laughing.

The companion next to the other party, the simple-looking and ordinary-looking Xiao Langjun, was so embarrassed that his ears were red from embarrassment.

Li Sheng's face darkened, and he was really unhappy this time.

Zhao Ying lingered on Gu Xiang's hair, silently went to buy an identical one, picked off her own white jade hairpin and replaced it.

As soon as he changed it, Zhao Ying became satisfied.

"Humph."

There was another cold snort beside him.

The little lady who spoke at the beginning stared at Zhao Ying for a while, hesitated for a while, and seemed to want to move over, but she was grabbed by her companion, and then regained consciousness, only to see the handsome man following the village Aunt went to the front.

"A Tang, let's go, Dad is still waiting for us to buy food and go back."

"What delicious food can be found here, how can you eat it? I don't eat it anyway."
