After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 40 The Ancient Bridge Gathering
The two of them went straight to the Guqiao market in a carriage, which was indeed bigger than the market they went to yesterday.The main road can accommodate four carriages passing by at the same time, but now both sides of the road are full of vendors with stalls, and there is a whole row of shops behind the vendors.

Zhao Linger walked along the shops, admiring them one by one.

"There's a football shop here!" Zhao Linger shouted excitedly to Li Heng.

"That's not football, that's called Cuju."

Zhao Ling'er went in and took a look, only to see that there were cuju hanging all over the wall.It looks like a modern football, but it is stitched together with needles. Each cuju consists of twelve pieces of skin.

"Little girl, do you want to buy Cuju?" The shop assistant came over with a smile.

"Oh... how do you sell this Cuju?" Zhao Linger asked.

"Girl, what brand do you want? The best ones are the two brands of Pear Blossom and Tiger Palm. They are both beautiful and durable! Feel them." As he spoke, the assistant took two Cujus from the shelf and handed them to Li Heng and Zhao Linger. one.

"Look at how densely the stitching is done. You can't even see a thread. The outer layer is cowhide, so it's strong!"

Zhao Linger took it and shook it with her hands, feeling that the weight was about the same as the current football.

"Look at this again, this one is from six-leaf peach!" The man handed over another one.

Zhao Ling'er took it over and took a look: Well, it looks good this way!It is very similar to the ancient hydrangea, but it is light green, and there are flowers, birds, insects and fish on the surface, very similar to girls' things.

"There are also side coins, bucket bottoms, silver ingots, pentagons, sunflowers... There are many other brands, which one do you like?"

"How much is this?" Zhao Linger asked, pointing to the six-leaf peach she was looking at just now.

"This? This only costs 25 Wen!" The man said with a smile.

"Okay, bring me one of these!" Zhao Linger said.

"Okay, I'll get you a new one!" The man said, taking out a shrunken six-leaf peach from the bottom, and asked Zhao Linger, "Do you want to beat this?"

"Ok?"

"He asked you if you inflated it?" Li Heng explained to Zhao Ling'er. "hit."

The man took the six-leaf peach, walked to something like a blower, inserted one end of it into the hole of the six-leaf peach, and stepped on it with his feet. After a while, the deflated Cuju bulged up.

Seeing that it was almost done, the clerk pulled out the head of the blower, and handed the Cuju bag to Zhao Ling'er with a net bag.

"Hey, it's so pretty!" Zhao Ling'er took it happily.

After leaving the cobbler's shop, Zhao Ling'er suddenly smelled a burnt aroma.

Looking along the scent, it turned out that there was a stall selling baked steamed buns next to it.

The peddler was spreading oil on the steamed buns, and the oil rolled and fell onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

Zhao Linger hurried over: "Give me a baked bun!"

The people next to him laughed.

"Miss, do you want Crispy Qiong Ye?" The old man who baked the steamed buns asked calmly while roasting.

"Crisp Qiong Ye?" Zhao Linger paused, and said: "Yes, what I want is Crisp Qiong Ye! Oh, I want two servings, one with butter and one with honey."

"Okay!" The old man agreed, quickly packed the things others asked for, and took out six slices of steamed buns from the dustpan, threaded them on iron skewers and baked them on the charcoal fire.

"Dong dong dong dong chok dong dong dong choke..." A burst of intensive gong beating came from nearby.

Zhao Linger looked around.

Not far ahead, a man dressed in a costume was beating a gong in his hand and shouting: "Look, take a look. Today I'm going to talk about "Three Kingdoms". Listen to how Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang. How Zhuge Liang used a straw boat to win more with fewer arrows, how Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, how Cao Cao boiled wine and talked about heroes..."

While listening to his speech, Zhao Linger anxiously looked at the crispy Qiong Ye that was being baked, and excitedly said to Li Heng, "Let's go and see it later!"

Li Heng said: "Didn't you make an appointment with Zhou You to meet at Hu Latang? Are they coming soon?"

Only then did Zhao Linger remember that Zhou You and the others were probably coming soon, so she reluctantly walked to the hot and spicy soup stall.

"Well, this crisp Qiongye is fragrant and crispy, no wonder it is called Crispy Qiongye!"

When we reached the crossroads, we saw a large Hu La Tang stall on the right front. The stall owner simply built a few wooden boards as tables, and then a row of benches, surrounded by a circle, where many people sat.

Seeing the steaming hot spicy soup, Zhao Linger couldn't help but want to drink a bowl.

"Shall we sit here and wait for them?" Zhao Linger pulled Li Heng to sit down.

"Shopkeeper, here are two bowls of Hu spicy soup and four fried dough sticks!" Zhao Linger shouted.

"Can you finish eating so much?" Li Heng looked at the Crispy Qiong Ye in Zhao Linger's hand.

"I can't finish it, why don't you eat it!" Zhao Ling'er said coquettishly to Li Heng.

"Hey! Zhou You!" Li Heng shouted suddenly.

Zhao Ling'er also saw Zhou You and Wan'er.

"Hi! We are here!" Zhao Ling'er stood up immediately, and ran to hold Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er was still carrying something in her hands, and she was almost staggered by Zhao Ling'er.

"Let's go, let's have a meal first!" He said, pulling Lin Wan'er to the seat where she was sitting just now.

"Boss, two more bowls of hot and spicy soup and four fried dough sticks!"

"Did you eat when you first came here?" Zhou You said as he sat down.

Lin Wan'er sat down next to Zhao Ling'er, and said, "Here, I brought the clothes, I'll try them on at your house later."

Zhao Ling'er took the clothes, put them in her arms, and said, "Oh, don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it when we get home. Let's take a stroll in the afternoon."

A few people finished their meal, and the four walked and watched.

"What did you buy yesterday?" Zhou You asked.

"I just bought mattresses, brooms, and a few buckets, and I didn't buy anything else!" Zhao Linger said.

"Then let's walk around next to each other, there are a lot of things to buy!" Zhou You and Li Heng walked in front, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Wan'er walked behind arm in arm.

The street is bustling with people, and the cries of hawkers come and go.

"Hey, what do you think this is?" Zhao Ling'er dragged Lin Wan'er to a booth selling combs.

"Look, there is a bronze mirror here! Hey, is that a wig?" Zhao Ling'er suddenly saw some hair pieces and buns beside her.

Lin Wan'er followed, and also picked up the comb to check the material.

Zhao Ling'er excitedly put the wig on her head for comparison, and asked Lin Wan'er, "Does it look good?"

"Let's go!" Zhou You urged, "You haven't bought any big pieces of furniture yet, don't look at these today!"

But Zhao Linger is full of curiosity about everything here, and she still has a lot of odds and ends to buy. She has been here for so many days, and she has been living like a passerby, without any sense of belonging.

Zhao Ling'er took out ten taels of silver bills and said to Zhou You: "I will leave it to you and Li Heng to buy big things. I want to buy a big bathtub, three wooden basins, four stools, and pots and pans, etc. , You look at it and buy it. Wan’er and I will buy some things for girls together. At five o’clock, we will gather at the place where we just drank spicy soup.”
