Chapter 130: Age of Madness (1)
Sun Erlang jumped out of the car, ran quickly to the door of the third shop, patted the festive shoulder, and said happily: "Festive, do you want me?" β
The joy of arranging the cotton cloth in front of the door turned around, saw Sun Erlang, and hugged him happily: "I think, I haven't seen you for a long time!" By the way, why didn't you come to Xijing City for so many days? β
"The goods in the shop in Zhengzhou are also full, and it is convenient to walk, and we have been there recently!"
"Then why is it here again today?"
Sun Erlang smiled and said: "Recently, I received pomegranates, and I heard that the price here in Luoyang is better, so I rushed over and sold it for a few more dollars." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info can be purchased anyway, pomegranates sell more money, save and can also pull two feet of cotton cloth to make new clothes for the New Year! β
Festively patted the piles of cotton cloth piled up like a mountain around him, and said proudly: "Then come to me to buy it, count it as the cheapest for you, and leave the best cloth for you!" β
Sun Erlang agreed, ran back to the car, and struggled to move a small basket down, put it in front of the third shop, and said to Xiqing: "This basket of pomegranates is left for you to eat!" The one I personally picked, the one with thin skin and soft seeds, is the best in the world! β
When the friendship between the two arrived, Xiqing was not polite to Sun Erlang, accepted the pomegranate, and said to him: "Then you go and sell it, I will tell the supervisor in a while, and I will go to see you." Let me tell you, if you drive along the small road opposite, you will have a large number of houses in less than two miles. It is inhabited by people from the yarn and cloth fields, who all have spare money in their hands, and usually like to buy some snacks to eat. Go there and sell it, and don't go into the city. β
Sun Erlang agreed, said a few more gossips, and went back to drive to the other side of the road with the people who came with him.
Xi Qing took a pomegranate in his hand, and watched with a smile as Sun Erlang drove across the avenue and slowly disappeared into the group of houses opposite. Jianchunmen is the gathering place of the emerging textile industry in Luoyang City, and now it is not only the most developed place in Xijing City, but also the entire Jingxi Road. Recently, Director Zheng often sighed in front of the festivities, saying that even if he digs a basket of soil outside the city, he can sell it here for money, and there is food and drink.
In this era, it is said that how much money can be earned in a day, but in fact, no matter what you do, you have to have half of the physical goods in your hand, which is just worth so much money. Money is still a precious thing, it is not readily available, and it is carefully spent. Even in a big city like Xijing, the street vendors often have to barter.
However, after Xu Ping's arrival, all the new field workers who worked in it were paid real money at the end of each month, and there was no deduction, no arrears, and no changes. Don't talk about how much wages you have, just by paying money on time, the people who work in the new field are envied by many people in Xijing.
With the living money in his hands, the people in the field are more generous than people in other places, and the business in this area is particularly easy to do. Every day, all kinds of vendors flock to food and drink from all directions.
Peeling and eating the pomegranate in his hand, he clapped his hands festively and continued to greet the guests. When the cotton was first shipped into the city, everyone just went to see the excitement, and they didn't think that life would change much. These days, cotton is spun into yarn and woven into cloth, and it has begun to be marketed on a large scale, and the huge changes brought to Luoyang City have begun to slowly appear. I can't figure it out, it's just cotton, how can it attract so many people, and the whole world is like crazy.
On the path, Sun Erlang jumped and sat on the wheel, and Uncle Peng led the horse in front of him and walked forward slowly.
Both sides of the road are small houses, at this time the side facing the road are all opened, and each door has a big trick set up, either "good muslin", or "dyeing all kinds of cotton cloth", or "the capital skillfully embroiders the girl, specializing in all kinds of cotton new clothes". The family and the two families still don't think that the road of one or two miles is all on both sides of the road, and Sun Erlang can see it straight.
When he arrived at the intersection, Sun Erlang jumped out of the car and whispered to Uncle Peng: "Third uncle, we are all spreading what a novel fabric cotton cloth is, it is not a big family, and ordinary people can't afford to wear things, I didn't expect it to be seen everywhere here!" β
Third Uncle Peng sighed: "Isn't it! Recently, Deng Yuanwai of Dashuwa made a new cotton dress, not that the banquet guests are reluctant to wear it, in order to show off, the birthday of the family in a month has passed. Alas, no wonder the people in the city laugh at us countrymen for not being knowledgeable, just a cotton cloth, doesn't it make people laugh at our lack of knowledge! β
This is the gathering area of the textile industry, although the field affairs are all government-run, but the huge scale, just a little from the fingers, is enough to form a long industrial chain in the people.
Some of the shops in this neighborhood have a relationship with someone in the field service, and most of them have nothing to do with the field business. The reason why the store is opened here is that it is close to the industrial center, convenient logistics and information. Another outsider who doesn't understand the market, and when he inquires here, he will think that the shops opened here are related to the field affairs. The more and more related businesses gather, the whole street and the whole street are doing an industry, which is becoming more and more prosperous.
Although there are many shops on the road, there are not many pedestrians, and the surroundings seem quiet.
Uncle Peng and Sun Erlang were foreigners, and they were a little worried in their hearts, so they carefully drove the carriage and walked forward slowly.
Two women came on the opposite side, one in their fifties and the other in their thirties, holding a little doll in their arms that had just been able to walk and talk, talking and laughing.
Originally, the car with Sun Erlang had already passed by, and the little baby in his arms suddenly turned his head and pointed to the pomegranate on the car and said, "Guoguo, eat Guoguo-" As he spoke, his little hand kept waving.
The woman had no choice but to turn around and ask Uncle Peng, who was leading the horse, "This brother, do you sell the pomegranates in your car?" β
Seeing that the business had finally come, Third Uncle Peng nodded busily: "Sell, sell!" ββThe pomegranate on our car is Heyin, which is famous all over the world, and it was specially pulled to Xijing City to sell! β
The two women were foreigners, and they didn't know the reputation of the pomegranate in Heyin, and they didn't care about it anyway. The young woman took out her purse, took out two copper coins, bought four pomegranates, took them in her hands with another woman, and coaxed the child to talk as she went forward.
Sun Erlang discussed with Third Uncle Peng in a low voice: "Third Uncle, it looks lively here, but I haven't seen anyone after walking for a while." Either we can follow those two sisters and maybe we will be able to find someone to live in. β
Uncle Peng hesitated, how could he follow the woman's house with his two strangers? Don't be misunderstood.
At this moment, the two women in front turned back and shouted to Uncle Peng: "Pomegranate seller, your pomegranate is really good." Why don't you follow us and sell some to the villagers where you live! β
