Chapter 46: Entering the City for the First Time

Chapter 47

"This is the post of the Huang family, Huang Yuanwai is 49 years old this year, Mrs. Yuan died only the year before last, and Sakura went to the main house. ”

"But isn't this a little wronged Sakura-chan, Sakura is only 17 years old?"

"What is there to be wronged about, she destroyed the Kedefu family before she crossed the door, and was ruined by thieves, it would be good for Huang Yuan to ask her. ”

"Huang Yuanwai's family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and the eldest son is serving in the garrison camp, so I'm afraid we will still climb high. ”

Deciduous Leaf City, Su Family.

This conversation came from a large room. Fluttershy listens to the doorway for a moment, then quietly runs to the backyard, where she finally enters a dilapidated yard.

In the yard, Su Ying was feeding a few carrier pigeons with rice.

"Miss, how can you do these errands. Fluttershy snatched it up and said, "Miss, do you know that Madame is going to give you a promise, to an old man surnamed Huang, whose beard is all white." ”

"I heard some. Su Ying said calmly.

"But...... Miss, how can you marry him, he can be Fluttershy's grandfather. Fluttershy is amazed at Su Ying's calmness.

"It's good that I can get married in my experience, not to mention that this time it was still the main house. ”

Fluttershy is stunned, not sure what to say. In fact, after Su Ying came back from Toad Village, her condition was not very good, her original house was occupied by the second lady, and she could only be driven to such a dilapidated courtyard of the Su family, and her monthly food and clothing were also reduced a lot.

"But the young lady is still unhappy, right?"

"Of course. ”

Su Ying scattered the last handful of rice in her hand.

At this time, there were two people standing in front of the gate of Fallen Leaf City.

"There is a thief Cheng Dalei, born in the Toad Village of Toad Ridge in Qingniu Mountain, nicknamed the Toad King, with a square mouth and a wide face, and a black beard under the chin, this thief kills people like hemp, and is heinous, and if he is arrested, the reward will be one hundred and fifty taels."

Before entering the city, Cheng Dalei first saw the list of rewarding himself at the city gate.

"Hey, my bounty has gone up. "Cheng Da Lei has a good face.

"It's not like it's painted on it, how can you catch someone. "Xu Shenji is very regretful.

"Walk, go into the city!" Cheng Dalei led the horse, a little high-spirited.

In fact, before the two of them could enter the city gate, they were stopped by the guards guarding the gate.

"Hey, what the hell, how do I think you look like a bandit with a bounty!"

When the empire was still strong, civilians were not allowed to move freely. Road guides, public inspections, and brand spies are all considered proof of identity, and these things are needed if you want to enter the city.

So in today's decline of imperial power, what is proof of identity?

Cheng Dalei casually stuffed a copper coin into the palm of the guard's hand, and pointed to the wanted notice on the wall: "Is it very similar?"

The guards weighed the copper coins, about dozens of them, and quietly carried them into their arms, but they still had a straight face on the surface.

"What's your two names, where are you from?"

"In the lower ......" Cheng Dalei's heart moved, and said with a smile: "In the next surname, Ou Mingba, Qingniu Mountain." ”

"Oba?" the guard frowned, "It's a weird last name." ”

Then he pointed at Xu Shenji again: "What about him, what is his name?"

"His name is Oye, and he is my uncle. Cheng Dalei hugged Xu Shenji's shoulder: "We are visiting friends in the city, and I hope that it will be convenient for adults." ”

"Okay, let's go in, since you are from Qingniu Mountain, you should know that the bandits in Qingniu Mountain are in trouble, and it will not be peaceful at night. ”

Cheng Dalei smiled and walked into Fallen Leaf City with Xu Shenji. This was the first city he entered after setting foot in this world, and in comparison, Toad Ridge could only be regarded as a poor ravine.

He was walking and watching, observing the environment of the Fallen Leaf City, and I have to say that the urban greening is still quite good, and hundreds of years old trees can be seen everywhere.

The business environment in the city is also much better than Cheng Dalei expected, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are also many hawkers walking the streets and alleys: flower sellers, rouge stalls, vegetable vendors, firewood, and water .......

Occasionally, one or two people whizz through the long street on horseback, in exchange for the envious gaze of pedestrians.

This kind of gaze Cheng Dalei is too familiar, if there was a sports car passing by on the street in his previous life, everyone would also look at it like this. In this way, vanity is the same in ancient and modern times.

Although Cheng Dalei also led a horse, the horse was too thin and did not look good, so there was no little sister to flatter him.

Walking on the street and passing by pedestrians, in fact, by looking at the clothes on their bodies, you can probably judge their identity.

Those who wear linen clothes don't need to ask if they are untouchables such as slaves, and those who can wear cotton clothes prove that their family is not bad, and if they can wear silk and satin, they don't need to ask the rich N generation. Here N is greater than or equal to 2......

So, can't it be that people start from scratch, become a superior person, and become a rich generation?

In this era, the class hierarchy is very difficult to break, the son inherits the father's business, the ancestors who have been officials have been officials for generations, and the ancestors who have been in business have been in business for generations. Those amazing talents, you can climb step by step to the top of the people are not nothing, but they are extremely rare.

Cheng Dalei is not bad, wearing cotton clothes and leading the horse, followed by an old slave-like person. This dress is not to mention rich and expensive, at least the family conditions are not bad......

At noon, the two settled down at an inn called Sihailou.

"Xiao Er, come with half a catty of liquor and two catties of beef. Cheng Dalei just sat down and pulled his throat, and he himself was addicted to being a hero.

"Boss, we don't have beef here, and we have ...... There are liquor shops, but what is liquor?"

"......" Cheng Dalei.

"I'll do it anyway. Xu Shenji cleared his throat: "Arrange an upper room for us, our horses are tied outside, pulled to the backyard to be fed with good grass and fodder." Eat, come two pots of rice wine, half a catty of mutton, half a catty of pork, and then catch a fish to make soup, it should be faster. ”

"Well, you wait. ”

Cheng Dalei was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that there were so many ways to order. First of all, cattle were a very important labor force in ancient times, and for a long time, it was illegal to kill cattle. The history of liquor only began in the Yuan Dynasty, although the historical line of this era is a little confusing, but Cheng Dalei can at least judge that it was before the Tang Dynasty, so liquor has not yet appeared.

Xiao Er brought the food over after a short time, and said, "The two of you use it slowly, what do you need at any time?"

"Wait a minute. Cheng Dalei put down five copper coins on the table.

"What do you have to say, guest officer?" Xiao Er smiled and stood aside.

"Sit down, don't worry, what dishes do you have in your store, talk to me about it. ”

"I'll still stand and talk to you......" Xiao Er took a deep breath: "There is a ...... in our store"

Cheng Dalei concentrated, thinking that he could hear the name of an original ecological report, but in fact, there are only a dozen dishes, and the cooking techniques are just steaming, boiling, grilling, and even stir-frying are rare.

Cheng Dalei's heart was pounding, and he felt as if he had discovered a huge business opportunity.
