Although I don’t know what the situation is, Wu Qingyuan confirmed a problem from the words of several aunts, that is, there is a difference between the modern time he is in and the ancient time here, so the matter of helping Old Man Zhou find his younger brother has to be considered in the long term. Fan Caixing.

Next, listening to the arguments of a few aunts, everyone walked for about two hours and finally arrived in town.

"Brother Wu, I won't accompany you to stroll around. Our town is just this big. Take your time, don't worry. I will wait for you at the drugstore after I grab the medicine. Come to me after you go shopping. Let's take the old Uncle Li later. Go back in the bullock cart."

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

Although I learned a lot about the world from Old Man Zhou, it was just some basic precautions. Old Man Zhou could not have explained everything to him. Now that he is ready to settle down near Shiqiao Town, he must learn more about it. Here's the environment, local customs, and price taboos.

As Lin Amo said, the entire Shiqiao Town is not big, and Wu Qingyuan has finished visiting the whole town in less than an hour.

However, although the town is small, it is very prosperous. Even if it is not a day to go to the market, Shiqiao Town is the place where most merchants go from north to south because of the convenient transportation. Therefore, the streets in the town are full of people and bustling.

After careful observation, Wu Qingyuan determined that this Xia Guozhi was really a good place to stay. Although it was a backward ancient time, it was still very different from the ancient times he had imagined.

Except for the addition of a little 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 rule of law and customs of the court are very chaotic.

The whole society has not only the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but also the backwardness and rigor of thousands of years in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Even the emergence of various crops is very chaotic. Things that only appeared in the later stages, such as corn, potatoes and tomatoes, already exist here, but Relatively rare and not universal.

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

After getting to know, Wu Qingyuan became more determined to live in Shiqiao Town. Don’t worry about the situation and customs. The last thing left is the price. If you want to live here, you must understand, otherwise you will be forced to buy things. I don't know if it's a pit.

Therefore, after shopping around the town, he randomly found a grocery store, went in and used the excuse of buying things to slowly select items and ask prices.

At this moment, the grocery store's business was very good, and the boss didn't have the time to tell him more. Seeing that he asked about some things, he didn't seem to have the intention to buy them, so his attitude slowed down, regardless of whether he went to greet other customers.

Wu Qingyuan didn't hold the boss to continue to ask, instead, he watched slowly in the grocery store while asking for prices from the people around him, and took the information he wanted from bargaining transactions.

However, after a while, he almost understood the prices of the goods in the grocery store, and he was about to leave, but suddenly a pair of young men and women walked in at the door.

Because the shop area is small and full of goods, the space for action is very crowded. The young men and women walked side by side. The boss greeted them again. The three people almost blocked the entire passage. Wu Qingyuan didn’t have any. When the law goes out, you can only wait for a while.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, he simply stood inside, ready to wait for the boss to greet the two before leaving.

The man and woman didn't know what the relationship was, they didn't look like a couple, because the woman's hair was obviously combed in a girl's bun, but the two of them spoke very intimately, flirting and cursing very ambiguously, but a bit like a couple.

Although Xia's national wind is open, two unmarried men and women walking together in broad daylight will not be so close, but it is indispensable to be talked about by others, and the two are quite courageous.

At this moment, the woman seemed to be angry. The man was very pleased. He pointed to the cake in a ceramic jar opposite to buy some delicious snacks to please the girl.

Wu Qingyuan had no interest in listening to other young couples making awkwardness, but the words of the two immediately attracted his attention.

"Baozhu, don't be angry. I really don't like that Lin Amo. How could I like him when he grows up like that? But he is a little brother and can work very well. You are big, he is small, with him, you don’t have to do the work at home, it’s just like a young grandma..."

"I don't believe it! That Lin brother is not a fool. I heard that the Lin family is not poor in your village. People are willing to marry the little brother to you as a kid? I haven't seen a man in that village marrying either. Daughter-in-law, besides, your family is still so poor. It's not that the old man wants to think about the old man, the girl and the little brother marry together, and want to be beautiful for you, huh!"

The girl in the floral dress was obviously uncomfortable, she didn't believe it at all, and her words were not polite.

The man's expression was a bit unpleasant, and he felt that his face couldn't hang on, but he endured it, and continued to please the girl with courtesy and explain.

"Baozhu, you believe me, what I said is true, that brother Lin is ugly, and he has been out there all day long to make people gossip, he will be 19 after the Chinese New Year, and he is still still No one has gone to his house to propose a kiss. If I am willing to marry him, he might go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Thank you! Pearl, don’t be angry. I want to marry him. Why don’t I want you to be more comfortable in the future? The pancakes calm down, this crispy pastry is from Su Xiangyuan, the most famous dim sum shop in the county..."

"You have a good calculation..."

The girl seemed a little more comfortable after listening, rolled her eyes, and said that she would not continue this topic, and she started to choose things in the shop. Finally, she bought a lot of things for sweets, honey and women, and spent half a coin. .

Don’t look at this semi-permanent copper coin sounds like a lot. According to the income level of the town, the semi-permanent copper coin is most people’s wages for a month. But the man looks like he is dressed and dressed in rough clothes and jackets. Don't mention the pain after so much money.

However, just like what he had said to the girl just now, he still endured it and paid the money to please the girl before letting the girl calm down, and the two took their things and left.

As soon as the two left, Wu Qingyuan asked the boss to make some cakes while smiling and asking.

"You said the one just now? Zhao Haisheng, don't you know the small running hall of the Qianji grain store? We buy food in the town and pay for it. Haven't you seen him? You came from another place?"

I bought something semi-consistent money just now, and now he has made a few pancakes. The grocery store owner is in a good mood, and finally changed his previous negligent attitude to talk to him.

The place in Shiqiao Town is so big, everyone who lives in the town knows everyone, and when he asks, he knows that he is from a different place.

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

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

........

After leaving this grocery store, he went to other grocery stores to wander around. After several comparisons, Wu Qingyuan had a good idea. Then he set off and walked into the bank and took a few gold bars from the space. silver.

Fortunately, he had the foresight, and he replaced the remaining useless money with gold. The amount was not large, but according to the standard of living here, the gold was enough for him to live a very comfortable life.

But it's okay to take a few out for emergency. He didn't intend to live on the gold for a lifetime. When he settled down, he still had to find something to do. He couldn't sit and eat.

The 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 just heard, 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 treasurer of the bank, one gold bar can be exchanged for 35 taels. silver.

Finally, Wu Qingyuan exchanged three gold bars for a total of 105 taels before coming out.

After that, he returned to the grocery store again to buy some personal daily necessities, and then went to the appointed drug store to meet with Lin Amo. These are in his space, but many things living in Lin's house are not convenient to take out.

He also has a good memory, and the town is not big, so he has basically familiarized himself with the roads in the town, and there is only one medicine shop in Shiqiao Town, so he quickly found the place and saw that it was already there. Lin Amo, who waited for a while at the door of the drugstore.

I was about to walk over quickly, but suddenly saw a strange man stepped up to Lin Amo to say hello.

He was tall and thin, with a rough coat and jacket, dark skin, ordinary appearance, and a pair of smooth eyes. It was Zhao Haisheng, the man among the men and women he had just met in the grocery store.
