Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 44
"Changjian, is there a market here at Weize Pass?"

Just when I was about to start, I suddenly remembered that if you don't put coloring and fragrance, the handmade soap will not look good.When Xue Qing made it back then, she added all kinds of wine, tea leaves, and other messy things. Different things were added, and the colors and functions of the products were different.

Changjian said: "Back to your lord, there is a market here every ten days. However, because of the garrison, people from the surrounding areas will gather to sell things during the rest period on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year."

Where there is demand, there is buying and selling.It seems that the garrison still has an impact on the surrounding economy.

Chang Jian asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Speaking of which, after crossing, Xue Lang hadn't gone out for a stroll yet, so he nodded and took out the dog leash, taking a rare rest, and took Baozi and them out for a walk.

Because they wanted to bring the buns, they called Wanfu——

When Xue Lang was at work, most of them were Wanfu taking care of Baozi and them. After getting familiar with them, Baozi began to be fed by Wanfu. However, looking at the meaning of the four, it seemed that Wanfu was just taking care of their nanny, and the owner still only recognized Xue Lang.

Xue Lang still remembered that after Wanfu became familiar with the four dogs, he gave a password one time, and the result was extremely sad——

Baozi played with his own, still having fun, as if he hadn’t heard it, when he obviously called his name, he moved his ears; Youtiao glanced at Wanfu when he heard his name, but after that, he should do what he should do afterwards Soymilk just watched Wanfu not moving, and barked at him, as if to say, "You are not my master, and I don't listen to you"; Mantou... Mantou Jun slept with his eyes closed, except for moving his ears, he even I didn't even open my eyes.

Wanfu can't laugh or cry, except when the four dogs will listen to him when they call for food, at other times, no bird will ignore him, unless Xue Lang tells him to listen to Wanfu, otherwise, in the eyes of the four dogs, even the nanny status is suspended.

The market was in a small town about ten miles away from the military camp, and Wanfu was driving——

Xue Lang really wanted to go there by bicycle, but if he didn't want to be surrounded by people, it's better to ride in a low-key carriage.

Xue Lang is tall, so sitting in the carriage is actually a bit cramped, plus the bumps, it's not enjoyment at all, it's suffering, but he doesn't know how to ride a horse, and Lu Yuan can only ride a carriage——

Be sure to make the four-wheeled carriage quickly!

After being bumped by Xue Lang's determination for nearly an hour, he only bumped to the market. Thinking of going back like this when he came back, it was simply hopeless.

"Lang Jun, be careful!"

When Xue Lang got out of the car, his legs were shaking, and it was only after Changjian helped him walk a few steps that he slowly got better.

The place where the carriage was parked was outside the town. Wanfu parked the carriage, took Baozi and the others, and followed Xue Lang into the town——

It is said to be a small town, but there is no specific boundary, and there is no such thing as a city wall, but there are more houses built, and the population is denser than ordinary villages. In Xue Lang's view, it is a bigger village.

The road surface was pressed relatively flat, but it was still a dirt road.Xue Lang looked at the hem of his clothes and shoes, he would probably be told by Mo Zhu again when he went back—well, it's so fun to go out for a stroll, so don't think of Mo Zhu, it's a disappointment.

Entering the densely populated area, there are some shops selling things, and some people are squatting on the side of the road, displaying the things they want to sell.At this time, there were not many copper coins in circulation in the market. China has been short of copper since ancient times.Some of the nearby residents barter, some use silk cloth as currency, and of course, some use copper coins.

Such a market, from the perspective of Xue Lang who has experienced modern prosperity, can be regarded as a compliment with a simple description, and the experience is nothing more than a local customs.

Xue Lang came to buy materials for making handmade soap. He saw an old woman selling eggs by the side of the road, so he asked Changjian to go up and ask questions. There were not many, only a dozen or so.

Xue Lang asked Changjian to buy them all, and the price was agreed upon, but when it came time to pay, a problem arose, the old lady was not good at arithmetic, and she couldn't figure out how much it cost for ten or so eggs, so she asked her one by one Selling, she can understand, all of them together won't work.

In desperation, Changjian had no choice but to pay for one egg with the old woman. In the end, the old woman who received the money smiled so much that she showed her missing gums, and thanked him happily and enthusiastically: "Thank you, little girl!" You are a kind person, you don’t bully my old lady. Where did you come from? But the family of General Wei Zeguan’s family..."

The old lady was too enthusiastic and nagging, and Chang Jian almost ran away when asked.Xue Lang looked funny from the sidelines, and when Changjian came back with the eggs, he wanted to tease him, but suddenly remembered that in ancient times, there was a custom of not intermarrying good and bad, no matter how good Changjian is, he is still a slave in slavery, so he cannot marry A woman from a good family.

After buying the eggs, Xue Lang looked around, and there was nothing unusual. The world has not yet settled down, and the economy has not yet developed. Moreover, there are actually no good things in this small market.

After walking around, Xue Lang said to Changjian: "Changjian, where is the shop selling rouge and gouache?"

"Back to my lord, the shop for rouge and gouache is in the north, but the quality of the things they sell is not very good."

The color is not good...Xue Lang asked: "The rouge powder used by the girls in the mansion, could it be that Chang'an sent it?"

"I don't know about the small one. After all, it's for women. It's better for you to ask Mozhu and Lamei."

Did this trip go for nothing? !

This is the disadvantage of outsiders, many things are not clear, and it is too abrupt to ask, he is a big man, asking about rouge and gouache... I feel drunk just thinking about it.

"Since they're all here, let's go and have a look."

"Here."

After entering the rouge shop, the tangy fragrance is pure plant fragrance, but it is a bit mixed, so it seems more ecstasy.The seller of the shop is an aunt dressed as a woman. When Xue Lang and the others entered, they were arranging things with their backs to people——

"This shopkeeper..."

Changjian said hello.Madam turned around——

Xue Lang's body trembled, and his eyes were about to go blind!Eyes are going to be blind!Eyes are going to be blind!

I saw that aunt's face was as white as powder, her cheeks were blushing richly, and her mouth was a small cherry... It was fake, she just painted the middle of her lips red.

This is not the scariest, Xue Lang has also seen Tang Dynasty makeup on TV, and has seen performances when traveling, the most frightening thing is that the aunt laughed!
The creases all over the face, the powder on the face fell down, it is simply a source of dust pollution——

Fuck!I really want to go back and wash my eyes!If you watch too much, you will have nightmares at night, right?

"You are so handsome, come to the shop, but want to buy rouge and gouache?"

Being praised as a handsome guy by this kind of person is really not happy at all!
Xue Lang didn't move, Changjian took the initiative to talk to him: "Shopkeeper, do you have any good rouge and gouache here?"

The aunt glanced at Xue Lang, who was obviously the master, and swept Xue Lang's clothes with her sharp eyes, and said: "Looking at your status, I don't know what good rouge looks like in your eyes, why not?" Take it out for the gentleman to pick and choose?"
