On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space

The gate of Miancheng is very different from that of other cities.

Other cities used a mixture of copper and iron to make their city gates more magnificent.

However, Miancheng did the opposite and used a unique material, wood, to build the city gate.

The woods were carefully selected and then had their bark removed to reveal their original grain and texture.

After the wood is selected, it will be specially soaked for more than a month to make it hard and smooth.

After soaking, the last step is to color the wood. Each piece of wood will be coated with a layer of brown tung oil by the craftsmen.

This tung oil not only protects the wood from corrosion, but also gives it a light woody scent.

The gate of Miancheng is made of more than twenty pieces of wood cleverly combined together. It is not only beautiful but also free from the cold feeling of metal. Instead, it reveals a natural warm atmosphere.

Its existence not only shows the characteristics of Miancheng, but also becomes a beautiful landscape of this city.

Whenever the sun shines on the city gate, the brown tung oil reflects a dazzling light.

There were two soldiers on guard in Miancheng. When they saw Lu Qingqing and others coming in carrying baskets of vegetables and fruits, their eyes were immediately attracted.

However, the soldiers' eyes were not looking at Lu Qingqing and others, but at the dishes behind them!

Lu Qingqing quickly winked at Liang Pei, who quickly took out fresh corn and freshly picked taro from his backpack and stuffed them into the soldiers' pockets.

"Sir, try it. This is what I grew myself. Try it and see if it tastes sweet."

Before the two soldiers could react, their hands were stuffed with food, and the smell of vegetables mixed with the aroma of soil filled their noses.

The soldier sniffed, as if he could still smell the fragrance of the cooked dishes. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva for a moment, and even forgot that the person who delivered the dishes was standing next to him.

Liang Pei was not in a hurry and waited on the side!

Fortunately, the two soldiers reacted not long after being immersed in it. One soldier hid the things in his hand in the sentry post, just looked at them lightly for a few times and waved to them:

"Once you enter the city, you must abide by the rules. You are not allowed to make trouble or you will not be forgiven. Let's go. The rules of the city are posted over there. Go over there and take a look."

As the soldier spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction towards them.

"Okay, sir. We will abide by the rules and never cause any trouble." Liang Pei first took over the two soldiers, and then took a few people to observe the rules of guarding the city.

A piece of paper, a few words.

The general meaning is that if you want to set up a stall to sell things in the city, you have to go to the designated location. If you don’t want to sell things, you have to abide by the rules and buy at the corresponding stall, and don’t plan to cross the border to other areas to make purchases!

It seems that people in the city are divided into different classes and treated differently!

When they arrived at the corresponding stall location, they found that it was true!

You have to pay for setting up a stall, and stalls are divided into several levels!

There are ordinary, elementary, intermediate, advanced and special stalls.

An ordinary stall costs five hundred coins. If you want a good location with a lot of traffic, you have to pay another hundred coins!

Each entry-level stall costs one or two taels of silver. There is no distinction between good and bad traffic at entry-level stalls. After entering, you can choose a location at will, and there is no designated location!

By analogy, the intermediate stalls just require higher fees, and there are no other rules!

Lu Qingqing and others discussed it and decided to choose the entry-level stall!

Because most of the ordinary stalls are run by farmers, and what they sell are vegetables, fruits and melons grown at home, which conflicts with their business, so they might as well spend a tael of silver to enter the beginner level, and maybe they will get an unexpected gain.

The items sold in the primary stalls are flowers and fruits of relatively good quality.

They also carry fruits in their backpacks, the quality is much better than what we saw at the previous stalls, and the colors are rich, the kind that makes people want to buy at first sight.

Sure enough, as soon as they chose the location and put everything out, someone came over to ask.

A nanny dressed in a brocade cotton jacket and skirt looked at the tomatoes and nectarines that Lu Qingqing had displayed with great interest and asked, "Are these grown by your family?"

Lu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, we live in the mountains and planted many peach trees. This year we have a good harvest. Auntie, come and try one. If it tastes good, buy one."

Lu Qingqing took a peach, washed it with clean water, and wiped it dry before putting it in her hand.

The old lady didn't hesitate to take the peach and started eating it after taking a bite.

Listening to the crisp sound and the sweet peach juice spreading between lips and teeth, the old lady couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, how can you grow such delicious food? I remember eating such delicious peaches once when I was five or six years old, and I haven't eaten them since then."

After hearing what the old lady said, the few people immediately knew that this first order of business was a sure thing.

Sure enough, the old lady finished the peaches in a few bites and quickly said to Lu Qingqing: "Young man, how many of these peaches do you have? I want them all!"

Seeing that she didn't ask the price when buying things, Lu Qingqing knew that she must be from a wealthy family.

But he still said to her, "Auntie, we all live in the deep mountains and forests. It's not easy to go out. We sell these peaches at a higher price, three hundred coins per catty. We have more than ten catties here. Do you want all of them?"

The old lady was indeed from a wealthy family. When she heard that such delicious peaches were only sold for three hundred coins, she immediately said generously:

"Three hundred coins is so cheap. Weigh them all for me. I want them all."

"Okay, please wait a moment, ma'am."

The first business order was completed, and Liang Pei and Lu Yuanzheng quickly weighed all the peaches.

While they were weighing things, the old lady took a fancy to their vegetables again and bought more than ten kilograms of vegetables in total.

After all the vegetables and peaches were handed over to the old lady, she also put twenty taels of silver in Lu Qingqing's hands.

Lu Qingqing took the silver and asked the old lady: "Auntie, where is your house? Do you need us to deliver it to you? It's free."

The lady waved her hand: "No need, you guys are busy, I brought someone here."

As she spoke, the old lady looked behind her and soon two men dressed as servants came up. Under her instructions, they quickly carried away the things she had bought.

The old lady was still standing there, asking Lu Qingqing: "Young man, how often do you go out to the street?"

As soon as Lu Qingqing heard this, she knew that she wanted to do long-term business with her, but they would not come to the city every day.

So he thought about it and said, "We will go to the city once every three, six, and nine days."

"Okay, when you come, I'll buy from you again."

Lu Qingqing also said straightforwardly, "Thank you for supporting our business."

After the old lady left, Lu Qingqing immediately took out eight taels of silver and handed it to Wang Zhenyu. Among the vegetables that the old lady had just bought, there were also vegetables from their family.
