One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 20 Markets
Because it was daytime this time, after leaving the store for a while, Yan Qingzhi finally found a place where no one was there, and hurriedly put all the things she just bought into the space.

Tired, she leaned against the wall and rolled her eyes, and it took a while to get better.

When he was storing things, he glanced at the space by the way. Yan Qingzhu's food was still the same as before, and he should not have gotten up yet.

Yan Qingzhi thought about going to the bookstore to buy some books. As a student who has been studying for many years, Yan Qingzhi has always had a dream of never studying.

What enhances one's worth and broadens one's horizons...

Go to the special code!

The old lady just wants to have money and leisure, and sleep until she wakes up naturally every day!

However, she didn't dare to express this kind of emotion that she had always suppressed deep down in her heart. After all, it was Yan Qingzhu who provided her to go to school. She couldn't take advantage of it and say she didn't need it!
So even though he was reluctant in his heart, he still walked over with his legs honestly.

The sister and brother have already discussed what to buy here, so she doesn't have too much psychological pressure when she spends money.

Before the two of them ran all the way, there was no chance in the end, but now that there is a chance, the book must be bought.

The popularity of Da Zhao Wenfeng, coupled with the appearance of the printing press, not only dropped the price of books, but even journals such as newspapers and miscellaneous notes have appeared.

However, due to different cultural backgrounds, the operation methods of various publications are very different from those of later generations.

Carrying a basket on her back, she quickly found a bookstore and asked about the price inside. Most of the books here are printed with ink, and only a few are still handwritten.

Books printed with ink have harder and thicker paper, and look more regular, but the price is not as expensive as imagined, ranging from dozens to more than 100 words.

The ones that are really expensive are the manuscripts. Under the impact of the printing press, the manuscripts that can still squeeze a part of the book market must have their special features.

For example, calligraphy, patterns and the imperial court prohibits printing, etc...

The wonderful parts of it are certainly irreplaceable by the printed books of this era.

Yan Qingzhi couldn't tell the difference herself, so she asked a lot of questions. The owner of the bookstore had a very general attitude. If it wasn't for her clean hands and she wouldn't touch it easily, there were not many people in the bookstore at this time. of possible.

This made her regret that she was wearing too tattered. Although the owner of the bookstore may not necessarily dislike her poorness, but sometimes people's sensitivity comes from herself, because she dislikes herself first, and then she feels that other people's attitudes are because of this. Come.

It's a pity that she doesn't have any good clothes now. She still buys what she wears at a passing farmer's house. The family who sells her clothes is not as good as the one she is wearing now!
After turning around in the bookstore twice, she had a rough calculation in her mind and a clear understanding of the types of books.

Quietly looking at the situation in the space, Yan Qingzhu has not woken up yet, and they don't have much time, so she will not wait any longer. If there are any omissions in the future, let Yan Qingzhu be responsible for it!
Books, she plans to buy more, the two of them have time together, she can still talk about it when she arrives, and her hard work is also due to external factors.

But Yan Qingzhu is a real scholar, and the speed and quality of reading is far beyond her imagination. She feels that she can't speculate with her own thinking, and she should prepare more for Yan Qingzhu.

So I selected more than [-] books in the categories of history, geography, literature and so on.

I have bought everything from the geographic records of Da Zhao to the general history of the previous dynasties, to the imperial examination series, even poetry and songs, biography of the empress, and so on.

I was stunned to collect a hundred copies.

The owner of the bookstore has been fooled, such a business is not very profitable for him, just buying books like this, and buying books at different levels, it is indeed rare.

After choosing the book, she bought a few dollars of cheap paper and half-a-dollar more expensive paper in the bookstore, two brushes, one ink stick, and an inkstone. Before leaving, she thought about it and bought a primer. For the copybook, he even asked the boss for a lot of broken ink, and it took dozens of knives to leave.

If it weren't for Yan Qingzhi's literacy, the bookstore owner almost thought he was a little beggar who came over to make fun of him!

Later, when Yan Qingzhi chose so many things, he was also a little bored. He didn't think the other party would really buy them, but he didn't expect that she actually bought all these things. He was surprised and couldn't help but try. two sentences.

There is no fun to talk about these days, and when there is a novelty, no one can't help but be curious.

Yan Qingzhi had been tested a lot along the way, and she was already very experienced, so she easily covered the past.

The boss is a serious businessman. In the eyes of a businessman like him, dozens of guang is not a lot of money. This is a county town, and it is not uncommon for dignitaries to spend hundreds of thousands of guans. There are also many people here. .

Moreover, he has seen a lot of poor scholars, this is just a little bit younger.

Leaving the bookstore, Yan Qingzhi went to the caravans mentioned by the owner of the big car shop to inquire about the situation.

Most of the children here mature early, and although it is rare to go out to work at a young age, there are always a few.Several caravan stewards had different temperaments, and when they saw Yan Qingzhi, their attitudes were also different, but the asking prices were similar.

If you bring your own carriage to Zhuo County, you only need [-] yuan. If you don't have a car, if you need to take a caravan, it will cost [-] yuan per seat.

This price is within the range of Yan Qingzhi's heart, and they can still lose a few hundred pennies now. If they can really mislead the Yan family to Zhuo County, let alone a few hundred pennies, it is a few hundred dollars, she will also inferred.

Yan Qingzhi inquired around, not only inquired about those who went to Zhuo County, but also inquired about the situation going south.

In the end, I chose a caravan that departed early tomorrow morning, paid the money, signed the paperwork, and returned to the cart shop.

By the time she got back to the big car shop, when it had passed, she was hungry enough.

But when she saw that Yan Qingzhu was still asleep, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She touched his forehead to make sure he wasn't sick. In exchange for Yan Qingzhu's muttering, she turned over a lot. came back to eat.

After she was full, she went to the blacksmith shop alone to get the blade that she ordered last night.

That set of shovel blades is not much different from what she is used to in later generations. The owner of the blacksmith shop also gave her two solid wood handles, but the planer blades do not have this treatment. I think she will have to wait until she has the materials and time to do it herself. .

When she came out of the blacksmith shop, when she looked at the space again, she found that the food inside had moved, and just as she was observing for a while, there was another miscellaneous grain nest.

Yan Qingzhi naturally understood that Yan Qingzhu had woken up, and there was no room for the things in the back basket. She carried a heavy lump on her back, and she immediately rushed back.

Back at the big car shop, she hurriedly unlocked the door. Before anyone could go in, Yan Qingzhu, who blushed, ran out in two steps, and didn't even have time to speak to her.

Yan Qingzhi was worried that he would be taken away by others, so he quickly locked the door and followed behind him.

Yan Qingzhu went straight to the hut, running so fast that Yan Qingzhi almost didn't catch up.

There is a chamber pot in the house, but that doesn't solve all problems.

It is broad daylight now, and there are many businessmen in the big car shop, both men and women. When I see two children like this, I can't help but take a second glance.

The thatched hut of the big car shop was extremely dirty. Yan Qingzhu held his breath but still retched out all the way, but it finally solved the urgent need.

He went back and washed his hands carefully before he felt a little more comfortable.

He slept a bit too much and felt his head was not very clear.

Yan Qingzhi told him what he bought, but Yan Qingzhu did not express any opinion.

I just discussed buying some things that the two of us can use in the future, toothbrush and tooth powder, soap, hand and bath towels, various medicines... The things in the county are always much better than those in the county, and the types are more complete. People have money in their hands, and there is still room to not be afraid of things going bad, so there is no reason to prepare more.

This time, together, they inquired about the reputable grocery stores around with the merchants in the cart store, and then left.

Because Yan Qingzhu was by his side, Yan Qingzhi didn't have so many worries and concerns in the morning. The two walked and looked at the scenery of Lincheng in the daytime.

The furs of the mountain goods in Lincheng are of high quality, and the fame of the clocks is not small. The merchants who come and go are naturally rushing to these.

But they don't come empty-handed, and they often bring their local goods to sell here, and then buy some mountain furs and take them away.

Now that the relationship has just started, the merchants from farther have not arrived, but the merchants from the surrounding areas have already gathered here.

There are many people in the trade market, and the lively fireworks have melted a lot of snow in the cold winter.

When they walked to the market, they were a little surprised by what they saw.

The gate of the market is very wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate four or five large carriages at the same time. Someone at the door is instructing the merchants where to store the cars and register them.

All kinds of laborers squatted on the side outside the market waiting for work. Many people went over to greet the people they were used to and left, and some people were there to negotiate the price with everyone.

Going forward, there is a wooden plaque on the high archway with the two characters "Furui" engraved on it. I heard that this is an experimental market built during the reform of Da Zhao's economic system. These two words are still the same. The Emperor's Royal Pen!
They traveled lightly and entered it unimpeded all the way.

The plan inside is very square, the roads are all bluestone slabs, the rows of pavements are neat and tidy, and the pavements are not large, only about a dozen square meters, with blue bricks and red tiles, no wooden doors, only various colors of shredded cotton curtains. Block the wind and frost outside.

There are flags of various colors hanging outside the shop, or stalls are set up to display things.

All kinds of merchants walk in it, dressed in different clothes and with different expressions. The two of them are mixed in, and they are not much noticed.
