There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Although I don't know what happened, but from the words of several aunts, Wu Qingyuan confirmed a problem, that is, there is a difference in the passage of time between the modern times he lives in and the ancient times here, so the matter of helping old man Zhou find his younger brother has to be discussed in a long-term way. Only then will it work.

After listening to the arguments of several aunts, we walked for about two hours and finally arrived in the town.

"Brother Ang, I won't go shopping with you. Our town is only so big. Take your time and don't worry. I'll wait for you at the pharmacy after I grab the medicine. Come find me after you've finished shopping. Let's meet Old Uncle Li later." the ox cart to go back.”

After Lin Amo explained to him carefully, he left and hurriedly went to the pharmacy to do errands. The flexible back made Wu Qingyuan smile before turning around and walking slowly on the street.

Although I learned a lot of information about this world from Old Man Zhou at the beginning, it was just some basic precautions. Old Man Zhou couldn’t explain everything to him. Since he plans to settle down near Shiqiao Town, he must learn more about it. Take a look at the environment, customs, and price taboos here.

As Lin Amo said, the entire Shiqiao Town is not big, and Wu Qingyuan walked around the entire town in less than an hour.

However, although the town is small, it is very bustling, even if it is not a market day, because the traffic extends in all directions, Shiqiao Town is the place where most merchants travel from south to north, so the streets in the town are full of people coming and going, very lively.

After careful observation, Wu Qingyuan determined that this Xia Kingdom is really a good place to settle down. Although it is a backward ancient times, it is still very different from the ancient times he imagined.

In addition to the addition of a kind of younger brother, because it is an overhead dynasty, both politics and people's life here are very different from the ancient world he is familiar with. The court's rule of law and customs are very chaotic.

The whole society has both the prosperity and openness of the Tang Dynasty, and the thousands of years of backwardness and strictness of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Even the emergence of various crops is very chaotic. Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, etc., which appeared in the later period, already exist here, but Relatively rare and not common.

But no matter how chaotic it is, the relationship between the countries here is still harmonious for the time being. There is no war, and the living standard is low, but people will not starve to death. For him, this world is definitely a paradise!

After learning about it, Wu Qingyuan became more determined to live in Shiqiao Town. There is no need to worry about the situation and customs. The last thing left is the price. If you want to live here, you must understand this, otherwise you will be rejected by others when you buy things. I don't know if I'm stuck.

Therefore, after shopping around the town, he randomly found a grocery store, went in and slowly selected things under the pretext of shopping to inquire about the prices.

The business of the grocery store was very good at the moment, and the boss didn't have time to talk to him at all. Seeing that he asked some things and didn't seem to want to buy them, his attitude slowed down, and he didn't care about greeting other customers.

Wu Qingyuan didn't hold the boss to continue asking, but just looked slowly in the grocery store, while picking up the information he wanted from people around him asking prices and bargaining transactions.

But after a while, he had a good understanding of the prices of the commodities in the grocery store, and was about to leave when a pair of young men and women suddenly walked in at the door.

Because the store is small and full of goods, the space for action is very crowded, and the young man and woman walked side by side, and the boss greeted them again, and the three of them almost blocked the entire passage, and Wu Qingyuan didn't even I can't get out, I can only wait a while.

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, he simply stood inside, ready to wait for the boss to greet the two of them before going out.

The man and woman don't know what the relationship is, they don't look like a husband and wife, because the woman's hair is obviously in a girl's bun, but the two of them talk and behave very intimately, flirting very ambiguously, it's a bit like a couple.

Although Xia Guomin's style is open, it's okay for two unmarried men and women to walk together in broad daylight to be intimate, but it's also inevitable that someone will gossip, the two of them are quite courageous.

At this moment, the woman seemed to be angry, and the man was very flattering, pointing to the cakes in a ceramic jar opposite, ready to buy some delicious snacks to please the girl.

Wu Qingyuan had no interest in listening to the young couple's quarrel at first, but what they said next caught his attention.

"Baozhu, don't be angry. I really don't like that Lin Amo. How can I like him when he looks like that? But he is a little brother, very capable of work. If he can marry back home, our family will You are big, he is small, with him, you don't have to do the housework, it's so nice to be like a young lady..."

"I don't believe it! Brother Lin is not a fool. I heard that the Lin family is not considered poor in your village. They are willing to marry you as a child? I haven't seen a man in that village marry two Daughter-in-law, besides, your family is still so poor, it’s not the master’s life, thinking of the master’s blessing, the girl and the younger brother marry together, you want to be beautiful, hum!"

The girl in the floral dress is obviously not easy to coax, she doesn't believe it at all, and her words are not polite.

The man's expression was a little unsightly, and he felt that he couldn't hold back his face, but he endured it and continued to court the girl and explain.

"Baozhu, you believe me, what I said is true, that Brother Lin is ugly, and he shows his face outside without rules and makes people gossip all day long. No one has ever gone to his house to propose a marriage. If I were willing to marry him, he might go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha to thank you! Pearl, don’t be angry, I want to marry him because I want you to be more comfortable in the future, eat a piece Pancakes to calm down, these crispy pancakes are from Su Xiangyuan, the most famous pastry shop in the county..."

"You have a good plan..."

The girl seemed to feel more at ease after hearing this, she rolled her eyes, said angrily that she would not continue this topic, and began to choose things in the shop, and finally the dim sum honey woman bought a lot of things, and spent half a copper coin .

Don't think that half a copper coin doesn't sound like much. According to the income level of the town, half a copper coin is a month's wages for most people. Don't mention the heartache after spending so much money.

However, just like what he had said to the girl before, he still endured it and paid the money in a fawning way before letting the girl calm down, and the two of them left with their things.

After the two of them left, Wu Qingyuan asked the boss to make a few cakes while asking with a smile.

"You mean the one just now? Zhao Haisheng, you don't know the small running hall of the Qianji grain store? We buy grain in our town through Qianji. Have you never seen him? Are you from out of town?"

He bought something for half a penny just now, and now he has earned a few pancakes. The grocery store owner is in a good mood, and finally changed his previous neglectful attitude and chatted with him.

Shiqiao Town is such a big place, and everyone who lives in the town knows everyone, and when he asked him, he knew that he was from another place.

"Yeah, I just moved here, don't know..."

Wu Qingyuan nodded without denying it, smiled, took the wrapped cake and left.

........

After leaving this grocery store, he went to a few other grocery stores to hang out. After several comparisons, Wu Qingyuan had an idea in his mind, so he went into the bank and took a few gold bars from the space to exchange silver.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to exchange all the remaining useless money into gold. The amount was not much, but according to the living standard here, the gold was enough for him to live comfortably for a lifetime.

But it's okay to take a few out for emergencies. He didn't intend to live his whole life relying on these golds.

Each piece of gold he brought from modern times is the weight of a standard gold bar. According to the unit of measurement here, a gold bar is about 3 taels.

According to the price exchange I just found out, one tael of gold = 10 taels of silver. However, due to industrial reasons, the purity of modern gold is much higher than that of ancient times. Therefore, after talking with the shopkeeper of the bank, a gold bar can be exchanged for 35 taels for him. silver.

In the end, Wu Qingyuan exchanged three gold bars and got a total of 105 taels before walking out.

After that, he went back to the grocery store to buy some personal daily necessities, and then went to the pharmacy to meet Lin Amo. He had these in his space, but it was not convenient to take out many things when he lived in Lin's house.

His memory is also very good, and the town is not big, so he is basically familiar with the roads in the town, and there is only one medical center and pharmacy in the whole Shiqiao Town, so he quickly found the place, and saw the Lin Amo waited for a long time at the door of the pharmacy.

Just as he was about to walk quickly, he suddenly saw a strange man walking up to Lin Amo before him to say hello.

Tall and thin, in rough clothes and mandarin jacket, dark skin, ordinary appearance, and a pair of smooth eyes, it is Zhao Haisheng, the man of the couple he met in the grocery store just now.
