The beginning of amnesia in the snow

Chapter 17: Small Town Storm

Early in the morning, the few of them quickly arrived at a small town belonging to the barbarians near Yingzuisha.

Although Beiliang and Beimang were in a standoff on the border between Liang and Mang, as the saying goes, where there is war, there is more money. Many large and small cities were built between Beiliang and Beimang to serve as merchants for commercial activities. Some bold merchants from all over the country, for the sake of money, set foot on this land regardless of the risk of losing their lives. Both sides acquiesced to these commercial activities.

After entering the city, the group was stunned by the scene in front of them. Although the city is small, there are many people. Looking at the hustle and bustle in the city, the group fell into deep thought, watching people from the two dynasties in the city stand together in harmony to talk and bargain.

There was no sign of war at all. Xu Ziyi murmured without emotion: "If everyone in the world could be like this, there would be no battlefields and no one would die. Everyone knows the reputation of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, but who knows that nine out of ten households in Beiliang have no sons and every family is in mourning."

Wu Qiyuan noticed that Xu Ziyi was standing there in a daze, so he turned around and said with a smile, "Brother is going to eat."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziyi, who was still sighing about the world just now, suddenly ran after him as if his soul had returned to its place.

After walking around the city, I saw all kinds of small vendors on both sides of the road. The merchants from the Central Plains sold salt, wine, silk, pots and pans, etc. to the barbarians. The merchants from the Northern Mang sold sheepskin, various gemstones and other specialties. Although these were small things, they would be several times more expensive once they got here. For example, the price of salt would be more than ten times higher than that of the Central Plains because the Northern Mang did not produce salt.

They soon arrived at an inn that was specially used for merchants to rest. With the rise of commercial activities, some service industries would also appear one after another.

The waiter in the store saw someone coming and greeted them with a smile: "Do you want to stay overnight?" Han Wei said slowly: "We want to stay overnight." Wu Qiyuan on the side said with a smile: "Waiter, please bring some food first." Han Wei glanced at him and said nothing.

"Okay." Soon, plates of mutton and cakes were served. Several people looked at the delicacies on the table, drooling, but no one dared to touch them. Han Wei also smiled when he saw this, and then took the lamb leg and started to eat it. Seeing that Han Wei had moved, several people were no longer restrained and started to eat voraciously. Although Xu Ziyi looked noble and seemed to be very protective of his food, several people scrambled for the last piece of meat. They were begging for mercy more than beggars.

Xu Ziyi took the cake in his left hand and the lamb leg in his right hand, and started to eat heartily, not caring about his image at all. Several people almost started fighting because of the food, and Xu Ziyi choked. He quickly picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into his mouth. Everyone laughed at his embarrassed look.

Xu Ziyi wiped the grease from his mouth with his hand and called out, "Waiter, serve the meat." Soon the meat was served on the table again. The others were still doing the same thing as before, except Han Wei who asked the waiter, "Where is the pawnshop?"

"Sir, the pawnshop is in the west of the city. You can see it when you go there." The waiter at the side said with a smile.

The waiter did not neglect or look down on them because of their ordinary clothes and "beautiful" eating manners. The reason is simple. There are only two types of people who come to this place: those who "come to make money" and those who "gather information."

Even if they are not, people who dare to come to such a place are definitely not ordinary people. The waiter knows very well that he should not offend anyone. As long as they pay, it's fine. He doesn't care what you do.

The more people you meet, the more you understand. The waiter also knows that they are not ordinary businessmen. You see, they don't bring anything with them. How can they be like ordinary businessmen? He dare not offend them.
