Liu Dao Xiang smiled sweetly. She was so full after eating an egg that she could barely hold on until she reached town.
The village was only ten miles away from the Lianshan Town. It only took the ox-cart half an hour to get there.
Liu Dao Xiang and the rest got off the oxcart and slowly slid down to the ground.
On one side of the Lianshan Town was a small muddy street with 13 twists and turns. On both sides of the street, there were numerous mud huts, and the mottled walls showed that the walls were originally painted with white. It was just that it had been old for a long time, and now it looked old and weathered, giving off the feeling of an old man who was about to pass away.
On the not very wide street, there were carriages, ox-carts, hawkers carrying loads, and people rushing to the market. The originally muddy road was riddled with potholes, and when the unreasonable ox-carts drove past, the mud and water that splashed up covered the people around them, accompanied by the curses of the drivers and the shrieks of the drivers, it became very lively.
Liu Dao Xiang lowered her head and looked at the pair of shoes that had produced three to four "chicken puppies". "Chicken pups" was a phrase used by Lianshan Town s, saying that the shoes had been worn for too long and the surface of the shoes was extremely worn, so the tip of the feet had many holes in the shoes, meaning that the toes were exposed on the outside of the shoes.
She sighed again. She felt that it was all thanks to the beasts. Otherwise, in this dark ancient world, she would definitely not be able to match up to the wisdom of these ancient people.
After all, this era depended on the hand, and all she knew was technology. She only knew how to operate things on her computer. For someone like her, not having 007 was still a problem in ancient times.
Liu Dao Xiang stopped thinking about all this and took off the shoes that were considered clean. She finally understood why all the women in the carriage had bare feet, as they all knew that it was not easy to walk on the streets, and not as convenient to wear shoes.
Although she had already found out how many copperplate s each bundle of firewood was worth, she still planned to take a walk around the town first. After thinking about it, she headed straight to her destination, even though the town was dilapidated, they still had their own areas, for example, the firewood seller was not together with the vegetable seller, but rather with the carbon seller, the iron seller, and the bamboo seller was in the same place.
Liu Dao Xiang recognized herself to be an ordinary person, her hands could not be lifted, her shoulders could not be picked, she did not know of the Five Grains, and she could not differentiate between vegetables and vegetables. Letting a soft girl like her, who lived in the modern world, only know how to play with computers and buy clothes, struggle in this ancient times, she really felt that it was difficult to move, but luckily she still had 007, this slut to accompany her, and she did not feel lonely.
While communicating with 007 with her thoughts, she listened attentively to how the others sold their firewood. This stall that sold firewood and ironworks was not long at all. It was only about a dozen or so stalls that were packed together and sold chickens, ducks, and geese.
As she observed more in detail, she discovered that the selling price of firewood was also fluctuating. The wood was tough and durable, or it could be cut down neatly, so she had to pay a copper a load each. The less wood was loose, or there was more wet wood, the less wood, the more wood, the more wood, the more wood, the more wood, the more wood was sold, the more firewood was sold for six coins a load.
Liu Dao Xiang had taken advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep these past two nights, and went into the space to clean up the firewood.
Speaking of this, the place where she used to raise chickens was completely filled with firewood. After all, her small bird finally agreed to "cheat on top of it" and helped her hide the firewood from the agency, using the storage and trading area as a space for activities to reorganize the firewood.
She figured that she had picked up a fresh, wet branch. It had been in the air for two days, which was equivalent to drying for twenty days. That way, the firewood would be dried and of good quality.
Just as she was about to find a place to carry people and get two bundles of firewood to sell, she saw two fierce-looking, burly men wearing the muslin's thin clothes. They were collecting money from the stalls, and when the stalls saw them, no one dared to neglect them, they spontaneously took out the money they should pay.
"So you still want to charge a booth price?" Other than the firewood in the space, the two pockets of Liu Dao Xiang were empty.
She stood there, frowning as she thought about what to do with the firewood. It was easy to find resources, but hard to find a selling place!
Who was it that spoke of the Ancient Era? Who was it that spoke of the Ancient Era and was able to enjoy the limelight? Liu Dao Xiang felt that she could not even compare to a genuine person of the Ancient Era.
Liu Dao Xiang, this bandit from the mountains, was standing there looking around with a worried expression.
Seeing the people coming and going, she felt very irritated. Just as she was looking around randomly, she saw a restaurant in the distance. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and walked towards that house.
Arriving at the door, she saw a head tied with a cloth and a yellowing cloth draped over his shoulders. She guessed that this was the legendary waiter.
Just as Liu Dao Xiang got closer to the tavern, the waiter immediately took off the cloth covering his shoulders and threw it towards her, as though he was shooing a dog, he shouted: "Go, go, go away."
It didn't matter how old Liu Dao Xiang was, she still whipped the cloth around, and forced her to retreat.
"Damn beggar! Look at the words' rich wine house '! Did you see that? Those who came in were either rich or powerful!"
It was probably because he felt that he was a waiter and ate relaxed food, that he looked down on idiots like Liu Dao Xiang.
"Little Zhu, what are you doing?"
A young man's voice came from inside, and then a pale, slightly fat man in a long, thin cotton robe walked out.
Liu Dao Xiang was startled, and felt that the man in front of him looked familiar.
The waiter, who was called Little Pillar, nodded and bowed to him. "Shopkeeper, it's fine. He's just a little beggar, let's get rid of him."
"Yeah, hurry up and send them away." The shopkeeper glanced at Liu Dao Xiang disdainfully, then turned and walked in.
At this moment, Liu Dao Xiang's heart was in turmoil. Indeed, her own daughter was a liar, saying that her family was poor, that she couldn't even raise a family anymore.
Just a moment ago, the original owner's memories floated back up, and it turned out that the shopkeeper was Liu Dao Xiang's second uncle — — Liu Rengui!
She didn't know how much a shopkeeper would earn a year, but looking at how he was growing up, she was sure that he would not have to worry about food and clothing.
"Little pervert, if you don't leave now, I'm going to hit you."
Liu Dao Xiang looked at Rich Restaurant deeply, then turned and left.
Even if her good second uncle was the shopkeeper here, she wouldn't sell her firewood to this building even if she were beaten to death. At that time, she might not even be able to get a single copper coin.
Liu Dao Xiang thought that the firewood should either be sold to rich people or to the Jiu family. Since the Jiu family was no longer able to handle the firewood, she might as well go and check if there were any rich people who wanted the firewood.
After walking around the town for a while, she didn't know what time it was, but the firewood in her space hadn't been sold at all. She had gone around the rich families.
Not to mention selling firewood, the other side wouldn't even let him get close. From afar, there were already ten vicious dogs barking. Just looking at them made one's legs go weak, how could they still have the guts to ask others for firewood!
As she walked along dejectedly, the fragrance in her nose tickled her stomach, which had long since begun to sing about the stratagem of an empty city. Only then did she remember that she had eaten only an egg today, and that her stomach was already starving.
However, since she didn't want to sell the firewood, she didn't have the money to buy anything to eat.
"Sigh, when will the heavens open their eyes? It rains every day, and there isn't enough firewood to burn in the house. "
The voice of an old granny came from the wall.
"Mother, when the eunuch and husband get off work, let them think of a way. Today, when my daughter-in-law came back, she went to the assembly to take a look. The firewood was already sold out."
"Hmm? With this door, it is truly an impossible path."
Liu Dao Xiang was just worrying that no one wanted this firewood.
She first looked around and found that she had left the street at some point, and had come to the alley behind the street. There was a small path between the houses, and after checking that there was no one around, she finally slipped into the alley. With a wave of her hand, she placed the six bundles of firewood in the air along the path.
These firewood had taken up more than half of the passage. Since the eaves of the houses on both sides of the path were close to each other, the passage was still fairly dry. He didn't have to worry about getting wet after taking out the firewood.
After setting up the firewood, she went to knock on the door.
"Selling firewood, may I ask if this family wants to buy firewood?"
"Mom, someone wants to buy firewood!" The voice of a young wife sounded in the room.
"Hurry, hurry up and go take a look. Don't let the firewood sellers go too far." After saying that, the old woman shouted from the kitchen window: "Hey, firewood seller, we want to buy firewood."
The continuous rain made the amount of dried wood very small. The amount of dried wood was the same as the price per day these days. That woman complained to the heavens every day that the heavens were rotten, but they couldn't stop her!
"Alright." Liu Dao Xiang promised outside.
Very quickly, the door opened, and a young wife dressed in a clean set of coarse clothes walked out. Liu Dao Xiang had sharp eyes and saw that the inside of the young wife's collar was made from muslin.
The young wife was not surprised to see that it was a little girl, the ancient people all matured early, people like Liu Dao Xiang, many of them came out to work.
She waved her hand at Liu Dao Xiang, and laughed: "Little miss, were you the one who was shouting about selling firewood just now?"
