Although don't know what's going on, Wu Qingyuan confirmed a problem from the words of several aunties, that is, there is a difference in the passage of time between the modern age where he lives and the ancient time here, so the matter of helping Old Man Zhou find his younger brother has to be a long-term plan. Just do it.

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

"Brother Wu, I won't accompany you to go shopping, our town is so big, you can take your time, don't worry, I'll wait for you at the pharmacy after I get the medicine, come to me after you go shopping, we'll catch up with Uncle Li later the ox cart to go back."

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

Although I learned a lot of information about this world from Old Man Zhou, it was only some basic precautions. Old Man Zhou could not tell him everything. Since he is going to settle down near Shiqiao Town, he must know more about it. Take a look at the environment, customs, and price taboos here.

As Lin Amo said, the whole Shiqiao Town is not big, and Wu Qingyuan 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 market day, because of the convenient transportation, Shiqiao Town is the place where most merchants travel from south to north, so the streets in the town are crowded and lively.

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

In addition to the addition of a little brother, because it was an overhead dynasty, both the politics and the life of the people here were very different from the ancient world he was familiar with. The rule of law and the customs of the court were very chaotic.

The whole society has both the prosperity and opening of the Tang Dynasty, and the backwardness and strictness of the Qin and Han Dynasties for thousands of years. Even the appearance of various crops is very chaotic. Things that only appeared in the later period such as corn, potatoes and tomatoes already exist here, but Relatively rare but not common.

But no matter how chaotic, the relationship between the countries here is still harmonious for the time being. There is no war, 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. Don't worry about the situation and local customs. The last thing that is left is the price. If you want to live here, you must understand, otherwise you will be bought by others. don't know if it's a pit.

Therefore, after walking around the town, he found a grocery store at random, went in and slowly picked things up and asked for prices on the pretext of buying things.

At this moment, the business of the grocery store is very good, and the boss has no time to tell him more. Seeing that he has asked some things, he doesn't seem to want to buy, so his attitude is neglected, and he doesn't care to greet other customers.

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

After a while, he had almost understood the prices of the goods in the grocery store. He was about to leave when a young man and woman suddenly entered the door.

Because the store is not large, it is full of goods, and the space for action is very crowded. The young men and women walked side by side. The boss greeted them and surrounded them. The three people almost blocked the entire passage. Wu Qingyuan did not Fa out, you can only wait.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, he simply stood inside, ready to go out after the boss greeted the two and left.

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

Although Xia Guofeng is open, two unmarried men and women walking together in broad daylight will not be very close, but it is inevitable to be said a few gossips, and the two of them are quite courageous.

At this moment, the woman seemed to be angry, and the man was very flattering. He pointed to the pastry in a ceramic jar on the opposite side and prepared to buy some delicious snacks to please the girl.

Wu Qingyuan had no interest in listening to the couple's quarrel, but the next words of the two suddenly caught his attention.

"Baozhu, don't be angry, I really don't like that Lin Amo, how can I like him when he grows up like that? But he is a little brother, he can work very well, if he can marry him, we will go home in the future You are big, he is small, and with him, you don't have to do the work at home, it's so good to be like a young grandmother..."

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

The girl in the floral dress was obviously not easy to coax.

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

"Baozhu, you believe me, what I said is true, that brother Lin is ugly, and he shows up outside all day and makes people gossip. After the new year, he will be nineteen, and he is still No one went to his house to propose marriage. If I would marry him, he might run to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha to thank him! Don't be angry, Pearl, I want to marry him because I want you to be more comfortable in the future, eat a piece The cakes are relieved, these crispy cakes are the most famous dessert shop in the county, Suxiangyuan..."

"You have a good plan..."

After listening to this, the girl seemed to feel a little more at ease, rolled her eyes, and said that she would not continue the topic, and started to choose things in the store. In the end, she bought a lot of sweets and honey women, and spent half a thousand coins. .

Don't look at this half-pipe copper coin doesn't sound like much, according to the income level of the town, half-pipe copper coin is most people's wages for a month, and the man looks like he is dressed in clothes and rough jacket. Not to mention the pain in the ass for so much money.

However, just like the girl who hurt him just now, he still endured it, and paid the money to please the girl, so the girl calmed down, and the two left with their things.

After the two of them left, Wu Qingyuan asked the boss to wrap a few cakes while smiling.

"You said that just now? Zhao Haisheng, you don't know the Xiaopaotang of the Qianji Grain Store? We pay for the grain purchases in our town. Haven't you seen him? Are you from out of town?"

The owner of the grocery store was in a good mood after he bought something for half a dollar just now, and now he has earned a few more pie.

Shiqiao Town is such a big place, and everyone who lives in the town knows him. As soon as he asks, he knows that he is from out of town.

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

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

........

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

Fortunately, he still had foresight. At the beginning, he replaced all the remaining useless money with gold. The amount was not large, 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 in an emergency. He didn't plan to rely on these golds for a lifetime. When he settles down, he still has to find something to do. He can't sit back and relax.

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

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

In the end, Wu Qingyuan exchanged three gold bars for 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 he had made an appointment to meet with Lin Amo. He had these in his space, but living in the Lin family's house, it was not convenient to take out many things.

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 hospital and pharmacy in the entire 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 pharmacy.

Just as he was about to walk quickly, he suddenly saw a strange man approaching Lin Amo one step ahead of him to say hello.

He was tall and thin, with a rough jacket, dark skin, ordinary appearance, and smooth eyes. It was the man and woman Zhao Haisheng he had just met at the grocery store.
