What use do I want in this troubled world

Chapter 136 Purchasing in the city
The sky was slightly bright, and when the city gate opened, a crowd of people and a steady stream of ox carts poured out of it.

There is a constant flow of traffic at the gate of the city.

This battle made the people waiting in the carriage startled.

Could it be that something happened in the city?

Qiao Anyang jumped out of the carriage and stopped a servant who looked like a servant to inquire about the situation.

Later, she returned to the carriage.

There is little rain in the western region, and the climate is already dry. During the severe drought, the water in the city was cut off. The traffic and people just now were bullock carts going out of the city to fetch water.

There is a deep lake at the foot of the mountain ten miles outside the city, and the team stayed by the lake last night.

Hearing the news that she came back from the investigation, Xu Wenfeng heaved a sigh of relief, and he was about to leave the customs, and many things had to be done here.

Qiao Anyang poked out half of his head and looked at the endless stream of bullock carts outside: "Girl, do we want to enter the city now?"

Xu Wenfeng shook his head: "Wait a minute."

After the first batch of water carts returned, the carriage slowly approached the gate of the city. Xu Wenfeng poked the man with his eyes closed, "Get out of the carriage."

Qi Xun opened his eyes, got out of the carriage with his whole clothes expressionless, and Xu Wenfeng poked him from behind again: "Don't make a foolish face, pay attention to your identity, and smile."

It's no wonder that you, a little runner, put on an uncle's face like ice cubes, so it doesn't arouse the suspicion of the guarding soldiers.

Grandpa grinned.

The corner of Qi Xun's mouth twitched not so obviously.

The two arrived at the gate of the city one after the other, and Qi Xun showed a document to lead the way with a stiff smile on his lips.

Xu Wenfeng acted like a dog, and took the initiative to open the cloth bag for the guard to check before and after the run, and at the right time, he quietly gave the guard a few dimes of silver.

The city guard held it in his hand and squeezed it, showing a satisfied expression, casually glanced at the dried mushrooms in the bag, and let a group of people enter the city.

After successfully entering the city, Xu Wenfeng went to the carriage and dug out the bottom sack, and replaced two bags of jewelry and jade from the space, which Qi Xun took away to exchange for salt and cloth.

The quantity is large and the stolen goods are of unknown origin, so it is inconvenient to sell them carelessly, so Qi Xun had to find someone to do the secret transaction.

Then divide the cash in half and give it to Ermao, who will take Qiao Anyang and others to the trading market to buy water bags, gauze, naan cakes, and high-top boots.
The further you go, the more difficult it is to find water sources. Bamboo tubes are no longer suitable. A family must be equipped with at least one large water bladder. The wind and sand outside the customs are strong and ultraviolet rays are strong, so gauze is needed to cover the face.

After leaving the customs, you have to pass through a desert path. The ground temperature is high, and it is obviously not acceptable to wear straw sandals in the sand. High-top boots are required for sand protection.

It is a big problem to start a fire in the desert area. It is difficult to find fuel, not to mention the heat. Naan bread is the first choice as dry food, and it can be stored for a month without deterioration.

After explaining the necessities to buy in detail, Xu Wenfeng drove the carriage to the market alone to purchase high-quality liquor and medicinal materials.

Liquor is a scarce resource in ancient times, and scarcity means expensive. Of course, this kind of luxury is not bought to drink, but to prepare for the space used to distill alcohol in case of emergency.

Although they prepared a lot of herbal medicines before departure, the demand for a large number of people is great, and the types are not complete. To cope with the different climates, it is necessary to add some anti-allergic and respiratory medicinal materials, as well as some ready-made plasters.

Xu Wenfeng has always done things neatly, and he bought all the necessary items in less than an hour. Seeing that it was still early before the agreed meeting time, he simply drove the carriage into the alley, got into the carriage and transferred the wine jars and medicinal materials to the space, and the people followed Into a space.

Fill the pool with six large wooden barrels, then drive the carriage to the back door of the restaurant and wine shop, and knock on the door to ask if the water will be accepted.

Recently, there are many people who go to the lake to transport water and start a water reselling business in the city. Xu Wenfeng's behavior is not eye-catching at all.

The restaurant consumes a lot of water, so as long as you knock on the door and ask, the other party will accept it without hesitation. She doesn't want copper coins, but only changes things like ingredients.

I went around the city and sold more than ten or twenty trips of water, in exchange for a lot of miso, pickled vegetables, leftovers, big bones, haggis, and a few dustpan overnight flatbreads.

During the drought, there were not enough fresh food ingredients in restaurants, and people were unwilling to change them. Xu Wenfeng was very talkative, as long as it was something that could be imported, he would not refuse it.

Earning a little is a little, anyway, idle is idle.

She is not short of water either. The stream on the other side of the ranch has been broken recently. She rested by the lake last night and took the time to dig a drinking pool.

The land where the crops are planted is all fertile soil, and there is no fertilizer for the time being, and the prepared cesspool is also filled with water.

Now there is a circulating stream in the space, two drinking pools, a large pond, and a cesspool, which is enough for thousands of people for a year even if there is no water source.

After a small harvest, Xu Wenfeng drove the car to the agreed place, passed by a cloth shop, and saw that guy Qi Xun sitting in a corner of the cloth shop enjoying tea leisurely.

Xu Wenfeng: I'm in love, I'm in love.

It's so relaxing!

Xu Wenfeng walked around to the back door of Buzhuang with envy and jealousy.

The door was ajar, and there was no one in the yard. Dozens of large boxes and cages were placed on both sides of the door.

Xu Wenfeng opened them one by one and saw that there were five boxes containing salt, and the rest of the boxes were filled with various kinds of cloth, including Gebu, damask, linen, cotton, and a small amount of silk.

It has to be said that this person understands her more and more.

Knowing that she wanted to avoid people, no one was left in the backyard, leaving enough room for her to develop.

The cages were moved into the carriage, and they were stuffed into the space while moving. A carriage could not hold dozens of cages at all.

After moving, Xu Wenfeng took the trouble to replace the cage in the carriage, replaced all the cloth inside the cage with some worthless sundries, and then locked the box and put it in the carriage.

One is to prevent the inspection when going out of the city, and the other is not a pity if it is lost.

After about two sticks of incense, Ermao and the others drove mules laden with goods to join them. They arrived at Qi Qixun before slowly coming out from the back door of the cloth village.

After getting into the carriage, Qi Xun glanced at the carriage, um, forty cages were missing, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he glanced at Xu Wenfeng.

How did dozens of cages disappear? This technique is too unpredictable!He is not a person who is full of curiosity, so he can't help but feel curious at this time.

Xu Wenfeng looked back at him with threatening and emotional eyes

——Don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask, let alone try to find the answer, the more you know, the faster you will die.

That's pretty much what it means.

Understanding the threatening meaning in her eyes, Qi Xun almost shut himself up. He was threatened without asking a word, and he was a little unhappy.

He had a cold face, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, with an expression that you are going to coax me.

Xu Wenfeng didn't even look at him to see if he was unhappy, just cast a glance over him, and then he leaned against Qiao Anyang and dozed off.

I've been too sleepless lately.

Soon, the breathing beside him became regular and steady, and he had obviously fallen asleep. Qi Xun was funny and angry, he was sullen there, and he fell asleep heartlessly after a few breaths.

Why bother to be angry at such an incomprehensible person.

It's just asking for it.

　Two or three days off tomorrow.

　　During the menstrual period, I caught a cold again, and my body was extremely uncomfortable.
