Chapter 35 Arbor Town

Qiaomu Town, located more than ten miles away from Zengjia Village, is a town with a population of just over [-] people, and it is the only village within a radius of more than ten miles.

In small villages like Zengjia Village, villagers usually go to Qiaomu Town when they need to sell something or buy necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

On this day, early in the morning, every household in the village had packed up, packed up the things that needed to be sold at home, and prepared to go to Qiaomu Town.

At the entrance of the village, there are two carts pulled by oxen. If anyone in the village has bulky items that cannot be transported by one person, they can be placed on the carts, such as those big wild boars.

Of the five big wild boars, except for Zhao Ji who had one for himself and one that was slaughtered for meat, the other three half-dead were put on a cart, ready to be taken to Qiaomu Town for sale.

"Okay, everyone, check to see if there is anything missing, if not, we are about to set off."

Seeing that everyone's preparations were almost done, Zeng Yu gave a final reminder, and seeing no one agreed, he announced his departure.

Today, I went to Qiaomu Town. There were ten people in the village, including Zeng Yu and Zeng Dazhuang. Adding Zhao Ji, Ding Dian and Yuan Chengzhi, there were 13 people.

With a distance of more than ten miles, with the lightness skills of Zhao Ji, Ding Dian, and Yuan Chengzhi, if you want to arrive, you can arrive very quickly, not even half a quarter of an hour.

The 13 people went on the road together, dragging so many things, but they couldn't get up soon. When Qiaomu Town was in sight, more than half an hour had passed.

"This Qiaomu Town is not bad, it even has a city wall."

Staring at Qiao Mu Town in front of him, Zhao Ji smiled.

The city wall surrounding Qiaomu Town is not so much a city wall as a low earth wall, and it is not even ten feet high.

The gate of Qiaomu Town is not so much a gate as it is a doorway. There is only a hole but no door, and no one is guarding it. This saves the trouble of entering and does not have to be searched.

After entering the city, Zhao Ji found that although Qiaomu Town was somewhat dilapidated, it was even more dilapidated than he had imagined. Perhaps, among some towns on Shengui Island, it was also the bottom one, but the popularity of the town But not weak at all.

The town is bustling with people coming and going, and most of them are going to the depths of the town, and they should all come to participate in today's rally.

As the only concentrated trading place within a radius of ten miles, Qiaomu Town has a meeting every single day. When the meeting comes, villagers from the surrounding villages who want to buy and sell will come early.

"Brother Zhao, let's go, let's go to the store."

When Zhao Ji was dazzled by watching and enjoying the ancient style, Zeng Yu greeted him, turned around and walked in one direction.

In Qiaomu Town, there is a specially designated area for the store. When Zhao Ji and his party arrived, the place was already crowded with people.

In the store, the free booths specially opened up for sellers, some of the better ones have already been occupied by people, which shows how early those people came.

"Oh, I set off early just to get a good seat. I don't want to, it's still a bit late, and all the good seats have been taken."

Reluctantly walking towards a relatively remote stall, Zeng Yu said annoyedly while directing the villagers to push the cart into the stall.

Zeng Yu knew the situation of the fair in Qiaomu Town very well. He also knew that those good stalls were in high demand, and he deliberately left early in the morning.

In the final analysis, it was Zeng Yu's miscalculation. In the past, it took them less than half an hour to go to Qiaomu Town from Zengjia Village. Today, they carried too many and heavy items, which slowed down their speed. A little late.

Put the carts side by side in the booth, and put all kinds of animals on them, both dead and alive. Then, Zeng Yu yelled loudly to attract buyers to come to buy.

The only way Zeng Yu thought of was to sell the goods quickly at a high price without grabbing a good position, and only shouted loudly and advertised.

Among the villages where the influence of Qiaomu Town can reach, in fact, there is no shortage of hunters, and they will harvest from time to time, and bring the prey to Qiaomu Town to sell, but, like the villagers of Zengjia Village today, they get so much at once The situation of multiple prey is really rare.

It has to be said that Zeng Yu was on the way of buying and selling, and he was very talented. Under his hard-working sales, all the products were sold in just a moment.

In this world, precious metals such as gold, silver and copper are also hard currencies. Although there are many prey brought from the village, they are sold for a tael of gold.

One tael of gold, one or twenty family points, after reaching everyone's hands, it's not much. As for Zhao Ji, he didn't even get a single copper coin. Among the prey he sold, he didn't have it at all.

"Okay, now that we've got the money, let's discuss it and see what we need to buy. We'll get it done as soon as possible. When it's noon, we have to go back on time."

After the money was distributed, Zeng Yu announced the disbandment after some warnings.

In the past, Zeng Yu and the others went to the market in the same way. They set off before the sun was fully bright, and returned to the village around noon, just to avoid eating in Qiaomu Town.

The restaurants or hotels in the town, not to mention the quality of the food, are extremely expensive, and the price of a meal is enough for many villagers to come to the town once.

"Brother Zhao, you probably haven't been to Qiaomu Town, or, as a guide, I'll take you around the town. It may not be as prosperous as some big cities, and it will be quite different in many aspects, but there are also some characteristics."

Zeng Yu suggested to Zhao Ji.

"Well, okay, then I will trouble Brother Zeng."

After thinking about it, Zhao Ji agreed.

Qiaomu Town can be regarded as the first step for Zhao Ji to come to the Heaven Realm and go out. No matter how this town is, if you know more about it, you should know more about the Heaven Realm. At least, you can also know more about God Turtle Island. customs.

Zhao Ji, Ding Dian, Yuan Chengzhi, and Zeng Yu walked around Qiaomu Town. During this process, Zeng Yu was quite competent as a guide. Where is the residential area, where is the commercial area, where is the There are martial arts gyms, he pointed them out to Zhao Ji one by one.

After wandering around, Zhao Ji's impression of Qiaomu Town changed greatly. Don't think the town is not big, it only looks as big as a circle, but the planning is quite reasonable, which is better than his impression of some modern cities in Zhonghuaxia. Random construction and random layout are much better.

"This town is really good. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There are blacksmith shops, hotels, inns, martial arts halls, etc."

After a general understanding, Zhao Ji praised with a smile.

Originally, Zhao Ji thought that for a small town like Qiaomu Town, which is relatively remote and only exists as the center of some inconspicuous villages, the infrastructure should be relatively simple, and even lack some functions, but he didn't think that everything would be different. lack.
