After arriving at Wangjiawan, everyone’s tiredness from the journey was swept away, leaving only excitement and joy.

"Let's go to the Nanmen Market tomorrow to secure a stall. Then you can keep two people to sell charcoal, and the others can do other things first." Hammer glanced at the people from Linjia Village and said with a smile.

"Okay, tomorrow when we find a stall, we'll sell charcoal for a while and then visit my great-uncle's house in the morning. We'll meet up at the market then." Lin Dongsheng said, grinning and showing off his big white teeth.

This time, the village chief did not just ask the capable young people from these villages to sell charcoal, but also took this opportunity to re-establish good relations with the Lin clan members in the provincial capital.

The leader this time is Lin Dongsheng. Although he is not the oldest, he is the one with the closest blood relationship between Linjia Village and the provincial capital. In addition, he can read a few words, so he is considered a very capable young man in the village.

Guangdan was a little curious about the so-called great uncle, but it had nothing to do with him. Maybe it would have some relationship with Goudan in the future, so he just listened to it. In his heart, he was thinking about how to sell the two trucks of goods as quickly as possible.

"Uncle, uncle, let's divide the work. My mother and I will be responsible for looking here for any bargains these days, and you three will be responsible for selling things. I want to get some good things that can be sold in our county and take them back." Guangdan said after thinking for a moment.

In fact, they had discussed this issue many times on the road, and this should be the last time, after all, they had to take action tomorrow morning.

"How about this, in the morning, Hammer, Xiaoniu and I will sell goods, and in the afternoon I will accompany you two to take a look." Uncle Fang was somewhat worried about his sister and nephew. If something happened to this man in the capital, how would he explain when he returned?

"That's fine, let's have a good rest tonight! And be energetic tomorrow! Xiaoniu, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can hang around here and find out what's happening in the capital." Fang Cuihua said while winking at Lin Xiaoniu.

Lin Xiaoniu agreed very tactfully, and then grinned at Guangdan, his smile being somewhat silly.

"By the way, let's change into new clothes tomorrow morning. We can't let others look down on us." Hammer interjected at this time.

After all, he had been to the provincial capital. This provincial capital was so big that there were all kinds of people there, and there were too many people who treated people differently according to their situation. Dressing a little better could avoid some trouble to a certain extent.

Guangdan nodded in agreement. He had already discussed with his uncle in private how to sell these things, so there was no need for him to say anything at this time.

In my grandfather’s words, he is the youngest, so he shouldn’t worry about adult matters!

Both the Lin family and the Fang family wanted to prevent Guangdan from being too prominent. After all, he was too young, and who knew whether it would be good or bad if he was in the spotlight too early.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoniu was very smart and understood things quickly. In addition, after getting to know the county town over the past six months, he had some understanding of city affairs.

After a simple lunch, Lin Xiaoniu started to get close to the youngest son of the family he was staying with.

This place is not far from the provincial capital, so any questions you ask about the provincial capital will be accurate. Besides, Wangjiawan originally does business with these passing merchants, so we are happy to answer their questions.

Even the villagers have their own ways, but that's beside the point.

The next day, when they heard the night watchman's sound at the end of the Chou hour and the beginning of the Yin hour, they all got up quickly. Even Guangdan, who loved to sleep in, was extremely energetic. After changing into new clothes, Fang Cuihua carefully tied a small bun on his head and tied it with a vermilion headband, which fluttered in the cold morning breeze.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a bronze mirror. I feel that I am dressed more formally than during the Chinese New Year. Now I don’t look like a farm boy anymore. At least I look like a young master in town.

After admiring myself, I looked at the others. Well, overall they all looked pretty good, as if they were full of energy.

The group set out early and arrived at the city gate at the 3:00 p.m. Although the city gate opens at the 1:00 a.m., it was already bustling with people and cars at this time.

Because Guangdan and his group were a caravan, they lined up directly on the side of the merchant caravan. However, they looked particularly small while queuing here. Looking at the row of mule carts in front of them, which were bulging and wrapped in oil paper, they all looked more impressive than them, whether they were mules, carts or people.

"Let our uncle work hard, and then we'll have a row of mule carts like this!" Guangdan raised his chin and motioned Fang Cuihua to take a look.

Fang Cuihua took a glance, then looked at Guangdan meaningfully, and then smiled knowingly.

Guangdan scratched his head and chose to shut up. Well, he is still a baby!

It gets light late in the winter. When the city gates are opened at 1 a.m., the torches on the city walls are still lit to illuminate them. Only then can Guangdan see the city walls clearly.

My eyes widened instantly, and I thought, wow! This is too grand!

Forgive his crude words, but I was really shocked!

It’s worthy of being the state capital!

The city wall was about four or five meters high. Guangdan felt that it was taller than a two-story building in later generations. It appeared to be made of bluestone. Soldiers could be seen in the dim light from the torches above. Guangdan felt as if he could see their armor and bows and arrows.

This level is simply incomparable to that of a county town. Let’s put it this way, the siege difficulty of a county town is 5, and the siege difficulty of a prefectural city is 50. Basically, the difference is ten times.

The convoy moved slowly forward while sighing. After the lead car paid the entrance fee, Guangdan and Fang Cuihua entered the city smoothly.

It was still early, but the city was already bustling. Hammer hailed a friendly young man on the roadside, paid him twenty cents to lead the way, and headed to the market as soon as possible.

Although Hammer used to work in the provincial capital, he was a bodyguard after all, and did not know much about business in the market in the provincial capital. It was a very wise choice for him to spend twenty cents to have someone lead the way to the market, and then inquire about how to rent a stall.

It took about three cups of tea to get from the city gate to the destination. In fact, the distance was not far, but there were too many cars entering the city at that time, and the road was a bit crowded, so the process was a bit slow.

After the ox cart stopped, Guangdan couldn't wait to jump off the cart. He stretched his head and saw Uncle Hammer and his uncle asking a young man something, so he trotted over.

The market here is the South Gate Market. Most people coming from the south of the city come to this market. There is also a North Gate Market on the other side of the North Gate. After renting a stall, Guangdan finally had time to observe the surroundings.

Unlike the market in the county town, the stalls here are more like wholesale markets, as they are all pulled by ox carts or mule carts and lined up in stalls.

As it was still early, Lin Xiaoniu and Lin Dongsheng lit a charcoal stove nearby, took a wooden bucket to fetch water from a nearby well, and started boiling water directly.

"Let's eat buns!" Guangdan sniffed and felt as if he smelled the scent of meat buns. He pulled Fang Cuihua's clothes greedily and said.

"What are you eating?" Fang Cuihua asked, glancing at the people gathered around the charcoal stove.

"No need, we brought some cakes, we just need to wait for the water to heat up." Lin Dongsheng waved his hand, and the three people next to him nodded.

Lin Xiaoniu said rudely: "I want to eat white flour buns."

Guangdan winked, then pulled Fang Cuihua and trotted towards Wang Po's steamed bun shop at the intersection.
