You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !
Chapter 4 Ji Changqing? Changyang Town
Changqing drew water from the well and looked at the childish little face in the bucket. He shook his head helplessly.
Simply wash up.
When he walked out of the yard, he could always see the busy figures of an old man and a young boy in the distance, so he would run over to help as much as he could.
Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes...
Changqing has lived in this place for half a year.
He was already familiar with the language here and knew that the kind yet slightly serious old man was named Zhao Wuji.
And that lively girl's name was Yu Linglong.
Changqing once tried to talk to Grandpa Zhao about his life experience.
But Zhao Wuji just told him his name was "Ji Changqing"
He always avoided talking about the rest and just told him to stay there peacefully.
Changqing felt from Grandpa Zhao's words that his life experience seemed to hide some unknown secrets.
He even thought about brewing some strong liquor to get Grandpa Zhao drunk and take the opportunity to extract some information.
"Is your surname Ji? The surnames are different, but the names are the same, so that's good~" Chang Qing murmured.
In daily communication with Yu Linglong, Chang Qing's speech has been greatly improved.
He gradually understood some basic information about this world.
There are nine countries in this world. The country they are in is called Xingyang, and this place is in Xingyang, a place called Lujunzhou.
Xingyang ranks among the top in strength among the nine countries and has a strong national power.
Although Lujun Prefecture is only a prefecture of Xingyang State, its area is more than 300,000 square kilometers.
Yu Linglong told Chang Qing that martial arts was flourishing in this world and there were many people practicing martial arts.
The martial arts are divided into three realms: warrior, martial master and great martial master. Some people even call the great martial master the great grandmaster.
Chang Qing asked her curiously whether there were any ascetics in the world, but Yu Linglong did not answer.
When he looked at Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Zhao suddenly looked up, but seemed to have some concerns, and then slowly lowered his head.
However, Changqing did not gain nothing. Yu Linglong said that she had practiced martial arts, and if Changqing wanted to learn, she could teach him.
This made Changqing happy for a long time. However, the following days made him unable to laugh.
Every morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Yu Linglong would pull him out of bed and make him run around the farmland carrying thirty kilograms of stones.
There was a big white goose staring at him from behind. Once he stopped, the big white goose would peck at him, making Changqing so angry that his face turned red.
I also thought about getting my revenge privately, but this big white goose had an absurdly high fighting power and I was killed several times, which was really embarrassing.
Every time after being killed, the big white goose pecked even harder during its morning exercise.
A month passed quietly. During this period, Changqing became much darker and stronger. He was no longer the sickly look he had when he just climbed out of the coffin.
On this day, I didn't exercise as usual. Instead, I went to the market to sell some crops and buy some daily necessities.
Changqing was also curious. Grandpa Zhao and Sister Linglong ate very little, but there was nothing unusual about them. It was very strange. They said they were buying daily necessities, but in fact they were all bought for him.
Everyone was carrying a package. Grandpa Zhao's bag contained several jars of pickled duck eggs, while Yu Linglong's bag contained some handmade wooden ornaments, dolls, and other items she had made herself.
A few days ago, Chang Qing saw Grandpa Zhao and Yu Linglong busy making these things. He felt curious and asked.
Yu Linglong told him that there would be a big market every few days, and she and Grandpa Zhao would sell these handicrafts and pickled products in exchange for enough food for the two of them to eat for several months.
Now Changqing has joined them, and the food consumption rate has accelerated, so they have hurriedly made these things and are ready to sell them at the market.
Changqing felt a little embarrassed because most of the food was consumed by him.
So, he began to search for knowledge about his past life in his mind, and at the same time asked Yu Linglong about some items used by the people in their daily lives.
After learning that people in this world use a kind of leaf that produces foam when washing, Changqing had an idea.
He decided to use his knowledge of chemistry to make some soap to sell and help support his family.
Changqing took out the soap he had made from the package.
The production process of these soaps is not complicated. They are mainly made by mixing animal fats, wood ash and purified salt.
He also specially added a kind of flower powder called 'Dui Xianglan' provided by Yu Linglong, so that the soap exudes a pleasant fragrance.
Each bar of soap was sold for fifty copper coins.
Although this price made Yu Linglong roll her eyes and call him heartless - because this money was enough for a poor family to live on for half a month - Chang Qing had his own considerations.
If you use these soaps sparingly, one bar can last half a year;
Even if you take a shower every day, it can last for a month.
Those who can afford to bathe every day are usually wealthy families. Why would they care about a mere fifty copper coins!
At this moment, Yu Linglong whistled, and a little red bird flew over at a high speed, drawing a red line and then landed on her shoulder.
Changqing had seen this little bird several times. Yu Linglong often fed it, but after eating the food, it would fly into the woods and disappear.
Changqing often secretly cursed this bird for being untameable.
The bird rubbed Yu Linglong's cheek gently and seemed very excited.
Changqing also touched the bird's soft feathers, and the tension in his heart was relieved a lot.
Grandpa Zhao walked ahead and entered the woods. When they first entered the woods, they could still hear the roars of beasts in the distance, but as they went deeper into the forest, these sounds gradually disappeared and the atmosphere became weird.
Changqing was a little nervous, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. As if sensing Changqing's nervousness, the bird flew to Changqing's shoulder and raised its head, looking like "I'm protecting you", which made Changqing laugh.
Touching the bird's soft feathers, Changqing's tension eased a little.
Soon it became bright ahead and the trees became sparse. A gravel road came into view. There were many farmers carrying shoulder poles on the road, and many people dressed like the three of them, carrying packages on their backs. They were all wearing linen clothes and seemed to be going to the market to set up stalls and trade.
But at this moment, he felt that the temperament of Yu Linglong and Grandpa Zhao beside him seemed to have changed a lot.
They are no longer so outstanding, blending into the crowd and not attracting any attention.
The three of them walked along the road for another half an hour and finally arrived at a bustling town. This town was called Changyang Town, which was the largest town and commercial center within a hundred miles.
The town entrance is already filled with all kinds of stalls, with a dazzling array of goods and a bustling atmosphere.
Chang Qing, Grandpa Zhao, and Yu Linglong chose a spot near the door, unwrapped the packages they had brought one by one, and displayed their merchandise.
Changqing took out the soap from the package and prepared to show it to the customers passing by.
He borrowed a wooden basin from the stall next door, filled it with water, wet the soap, and began to wash his hands.
In an instant, a fresh and pleasant fragrance spread, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Suddenly, the fragrance exploded at the door like a bomb, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
"What's this scent? It smells so pleasant!" someone asked curiously.
"Yeah, I smelled it too. It makes me feel more energetic," another person echoed.
The crowd was quickly attracted by the aroma and surrounded Changqing's stall. They were surprised to see that the stall owner was a child, but in this world, it was not uncommon for children to earn money to support their families.
"Little boy, what is this? It smells so good!" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chang Qing stood up and introduced confidently: "This is called soap. It can be used not only for bathing and washing, but also for washing clothes. Look, this is my hands washed with soap just now. Not only does it have a long-lasting fragrance, but it also makes the skin smooth and tender."
After saying that, he picked up another bar of soap and demonstrated it.
Sure enough, the fragrance in the air became stronger after washing my hands.
"How much is it? If it's cheap, I'll buy a few more pieces," asked a fishmonger who reeked of fish.
It can be seen that this person wants to use this fragrance to cover up the fishy smell on his body.
"Fifty copper coins a piece." Chang Qing didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated the price.
"Fifty copper coins! This is too expensive. Can it be cheaper?" Someone tried to bargain.
Chang Qing shook his head and said, "This price is quite fair and I will not cheat anyone."
"Fifty copper coins! Why don't you go and rob? You're so young, and yet you're already cheating and deceiving people." The fishmonger's words were a bit harsh, but they were also the voice of most people.
"Sorry, no bargaining. This item is extremely rare and the materials used are also extremely precious. The quantity is limited and first come first served." Chang Qing bowed and said to everyone
Although some people find the price high, they are still attracted by the fragrance and magical effects of the soap.
After a while, a middle-aged woman in a brocade robe couldn't help but come forward and took out a tael of silver and handed it to Changqing without hesitation: "I want two pieces!"
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." Changqing skillfully wrapped the two bars of soap with a large clean leaf and handed them to the woman.
The woman took the soap, put it close to her nose and sniffed it, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Her actions further stimulated the purchasing desire of other customers. Soon, a long line formed in front of Changqing's stall.
