The stalls are actually divided into areas.

For example, chickens, ducks, vegetables, grains, vinegar, etc. were placed in one area, and larger utensils such as pottery jars and wooden basins were placed in another area. The stalls were also divided into large and small sizes.

The sounds of hawking, shouting, and bargaining from all over the place interweave together, creating a unique bustle and noise in the market.

Xie Wanqing used to live in the backyard and had never seen such a lively scene.

She looked left and right, and was overwhelmed by the sight.

Of course, Xu Yun and Aunt Deng were not much better off.

But Auntie Deng was just like Xie Wanqing, she just felt it was lively, there were a lot of things, and it was convenient.

But what Xu Yun saw was the power of Beiping Yin.

An official who can plan a small market so conveniently and neatly will probably be good at governing the city of Peking.

In other words, as long as this continues, the city of Beiping will definitely develop well in the future.

Xu Yun suddenly felt itchy.

She wants to buy a shop and a house.

The more prosperous a city is, the more valuable the shops and houses inside it will become.

After a long walk, Aunt Deng and Xie Wanqing couldn't help but buy a lot of things.

Even Aunt Deng bought a few chickens!

She held up the bunch of chickens and smiled with satisfaction: "I touched them, they are all chickens that are about to start laying eggs. The house is so big, we can raise them anywhere! The grass seeds are enough for them to eat. If they lay eggs, we can eat them ourselves. If they stop laying eggs, we can kill them and eat the meat!"

After she said this, Xie Wanqing felt a little eager to try, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she looked at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun didn't want to make decisions for everything, so she smiled and said, "Just make your own decision, mother."

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not make a decision on her own. Instead, she asked Aunt Deng for help: "Sister Deng, do you think we can raise him?"

Aunt Deng was also in a dilemma: "I haven't been there to see it, so I don't know how big the place is. If the place is not big, you can just buy two. Then you can feed them with the bran from pounding rice. If you don't want it to get dirty, just build a fence and keep them there."

So Xie Wanqing bought two.

Although Xu Yun had been pretending to look at other stalls, her attention was actually always here. Seeing what Xie Wanqing did, she sighed quietly in her heart, but then comforted herself: Some things cannot be accomplished overnight, so take it slow.

After that, Xu Yun simply became a hands-off boss.

Xie Wanqing gradually got used to Xu Yun's behavior of not participating in decision-making. If she didn't know something, she would ask Aunt Deng and discuss it with her.

I did buy quite a few things: several large and small ceramic basins, wooden basins, a steamer, a rice jar, a stone mortar for pounding rice... and finally a large water jar.

Although there is a well at home, you should also prepare a water tank and fill it with water when you are not busy, so you don’t have to fetch water every time you need it.

Speaking of this well, it is also something that Xu Yun is particularly satisfied with: You know, the north is different from the south, not every household has a well, and wells are divided into sweet water and bitter water.

The one in their house is a sweet water well, which can not only be used but also drunk!

When she went to buy groceries yesterday, she saw someone selling water on the roadside. If you only have bitter water from a well at home, you have to buy this kind of water for drinking and cooking. If you don't have a well, you have to buy it even more.

In other words, if their family was really poor to a certain extent, they could sell some well water every day and not starve to death.

It was difficult to pull all these large items when they were piled on the cart, so Aunt Deng took Xie Wanqing and bargained with a few vendors. She paid a little more money and asked them to deliver the items directly to her home after they closed their stalls.

This really shocked Xie Wanqing. When Aunt Deng had reached an agreement with the other party, she looked at Aunt Deng with admiration: "It's possible to do this!"

Aunt Deng leaned close to Xie Wanqing's ear, her complexion improved a lot, and she lowered her voice: "We bought a lot of things, we are big customers, and we paid more, so why can't we do that? Just remember, we spend money, and they earn money! We can discuss anything!"

Xie Wanqing nodded repeatedly, indicating that she had learned it.

Aunt Deng was also very happy: It was such a pride to be able to teach a girl from the Xie family like Xie Wanqing!

Seeing Xie Wanqing and Auntie Deng eager to buy more, Xu Yun smiled, pulled Xie Wanqing's sleeve, and took the opportunity to say, "Mother, you and Auntie continue shopping. I'll go look somewhere else. I'll send the visiting card later."

Xie Wanqing agreed, but still reminded him: "If the journey is long, take a bus, don't worry about the money."

Xu Yun left the market, walked, strolled, and asked questions along the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the Beiping government office.

It's not that she didn't go looking for Xiao Zheyue, but after asking around, she found out that Xiao Zheyue had been serving General Jiang Miao and didn't have a residence outside. After coming to Beiping City, he had been living in the Beiping Palace.

The palace was originally a marquis's residence. It was only after the arrival of the Spark Army that it was converted into a royal palace.

Therefore, if he wanted to find Xiao Zheyue, he would definitely not be able to find her. He could only go directly to Beiping Yin.

Standing at the gate of the Beiping Yamen, Xu Yun looked up at the gate of the Beiping Yamen and the soldiers on both sides who were wearing full armor and holding long weapons. He was a little hesitant for a moment.

I felt that if I went up to him and said I wanted to see the Yin of Beiping, I would be kicked out the next moment.

Xu Yun lowered his head and tugged at his wrinkled linen clothes, straightened them, and then stepped forward and bowed: "Excuse me, my two generals, I would like to pay my respects to the Yin of Beiping. Could you please inform him?"

If this happened in Nanyu, Xu Yun would not ask at all - a commoner wanted to see the prefect of the capital? What a joke! And he even wanted to report it? You wish!

But this is in the city of Peking after all.

However, Xu Yun was still nervous. She even thought that it would be difficult for her to meet Beiping Yin in this outfit.

However, surprisingly, the expected scolding did not happen. Instead, I got a suggestion: "We are only responsible for guarding the door, not for notification. Go inside, there is a special person to receive you at the gate."

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yun was really shocked.

She was surprised, thanked him, and then walked inside.

There really was a concierge inside.

Unlike other places, this lobby has a table with a middle-aged man sitting inside. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head with a pen in hand and asked with a smile, "Young lady, what can I do for you? If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I will record it and send someone to solve it."

Xu Yun was in a trance.

She looked at the smiling face in front of her and felt like she was dreaming. She even wanted to pinch herself.

However, she had experienced a lot after all, and even though she was shocked, she quickly calmed down. After bowing, she asked politely, "Excuse me, I want to see the Yin of Beiping. How can I see him?"
