Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 23 Searching for Craftsmen in Qingyun City

Zhu Fu was startled by Chu Chen's action and quickly picked up the dagger.

The blade gleamed, its edge incredibly sharp. He then said, "This is a divine weapon! Will Young Master Chu make a move?"

"See? This thing is readily available where we're from. You've never seen anything like it before."

"I'll pass on this. I only brought this one today. I'm worried someone might be eyeing my money. I'll deal with it another time if I have the chance."

Chu Chen looked at Zhu Fu in front of him and said something meaningful.

But Zhu Fu didn't care about Chu Chen's meaning at all. What a joke, we are a merchant group, we can't do that kind of thing.

Instead, she became deeply interested in Chu Chen's residence.

He hurriedly asked, "To be able to casually produce such divine artifacts and glass, may I ask where Young Master Chu is from?"

"I'm from the countryside. Stop dawdling and give me the money."

Chu Chen answered impatiently.

Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, Manager Zhu didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he developed a strong interest in the rural area.

He thought to himself.

This place must be a place only immortals can live in.

After an incense stick had burned, Zhu Fu gave him a warm send-off.

Chu Chen walked out of the pawnshop with a stack of silver notes and a metal tag in his pocket.

I examined this sign carefully.

According to Zhu Fu, as long as one enters a shop with the name "Jin Sheng" in the Great Xia Dynasty with this item, one can enjoy VIP treatment.

It seems that people in ancient times already had a sense of membership.

He casually tucked the sign into the pocket of his down jacket and headed towards the inn.

At the inn, Roy and Xiaofang had already eaten breakfast.

She was quietly waiting for Chu Chen to return at the inn, and had even thoughtfully ordered him breakfast.

A few meat buns and a bowl of millet porridge.

Looking at the steaming food in front of him, Chu Chen thought that this was the real deal when visiting a brothel.

You guys try it out, I'll just buy it directly, it's so tempting!

After finishing breakfast, Chu Chen took out a silver note containing one hundred taels of silver and handed it to Luo Yi.

"You two go and buy some furniture and settle down in the courtyard. It would be best to also buy a few maids. I have to go out for a while and will be leaving today."

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Roy's eyes immediately dimmed.

Could it be that this man bought her just for one night of intimacy?

Although she bought a house and gave herself money, after these few days of interaction, she realized that these were not what she wanted.

Who doesn't yearn to be loved? And who wants to be just a pretty face?

Sigh, it's all because I came from a brothel.

She was able to be redeemed by the young and promising Chu Chen during the prime of her life.

She's already better off than those older women who are bought by some old man to be unwanted concubines; that's already considered a good fortune.

Looking at the silver notes in front of her, Roy said, "No need, husband. I have saved up some silver over the years, enough for us. We are content that you can come and visit us sisters every now and then."

Huh, there are still people who don't charge money these days? That's strange. Is it because I'm too handsome?

He didn't believe that he could make this woman fall in love with him in just two days; after all, they hadn't communicated enough.

He put away the silver notes without saying much, escorted the two to the house, and then headed towards Tao Dapang's cloth shop.

At the entrance of the cloth shop, Hu Zi sat on a mule cart, looking on with longing eyes like a young wife waiting for her husband.

"Why isn't Chuwa here yet? Could something have happened to him?" Tiger muttered to himself.

"Hey buddy, come in and sit for a bit. Brother Chu said he'd come, and he definitely will," Tao Dapang called out to Hu Zi from inside.

This young man is really strange; he's been waiting for a full hour and still won't go into his cloth shop.

Actually, it wasn't that Hu Zi didn't want to go in, but he was afraid that his coarse linen clothes would embarrass Chu Chen.

"Hey, Tiger, have you been waiting long?" Chu Chen's voice came from afar.

"Chuwa, you've finally shown up! I thought something had happened to you."

As soon as Hu Zi saw Chu Chen arrive, he jumped off the mule cart.

“Brother Chu, your driver is really something. He’s been waiting for you for two whole hours. You asked him to come in and sit for a while, but he didn’t come.”

At this moment, Tao Dapang also came out of the shop and said to Chu Chen.

"Haha, Boss Tao, this isn't a coachman, this is my cousin Hu Zi," Chu Chen introduced to Tao Dapang.

"Ah, it's Brother Hu Zi. Come, come, come in and sit down," Tao Dapang invited again.

Tiger looked at his clothes and hesitated.

Only then did Chu Chen realize that it was shyness.

"Boss Tao, pick out a few outfits for my brother Hu. Look at him, he's too embarrassed to even come into your shop."

It turns out this person was embarrassed to come in because of their shabby clothes.

Tao Dapang then laughed heartily and pulled the blushing Tiger into the shop.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen looked at the tall Tiger Brother in front of him.

"Tsk tsk, clothes really do make the man. Look at this, his temperament has improved so much."

Tiger, on the other hand, acted like a shy, timid young wife.

He had never worn silk or satin in his life, and now he felt uncomfortable all over, not at all as comfortable as his coarse linen clothes.

He then asked Tao Dapang, "Shopkeeper, how much does this clothing cost?"

"Young man, it's just a set of clothes, it's free."

Tao Dapang readily agreed, "What a joke! The doctor's cousin, why would I need money?"

Chu Chen then handed over a ten-tael silver ingot and said, "Boss Tao, let's keep things separate. Here you go."

After saying that, he grabbed Hu Zi and left. Tao Dapang watched Chu Chen leave and sighed.

It seems that a miracle doctor is indeed a miracle doctor; they are not so easy to approach.

"Chuwa, did you just give him ten taels of silver?" Hu Zi asked as he drove the cart.

At this moment, he felt even more uncomfortable in his clothes.

"Alright, Tiger, it's just a change of clothes, don't worry about it, just focus on driving your car."

"where to?"

"Let's find craftsmen to build houses back in the village and go out to spend money." Chu Chen waved his hand, and Hu Zi drove the cart out of the city.

He knew of a craftsman; there was a highly skilled craftsman outside the city who often built houses for people. It was said that the city lord's mansion in Qingyun City was built by him.

He hasn't been idle these past few days, following Chu Chen's instructions.

In order to find good craftsmen, he traveled all over Qingyun City.

While I wouldn't say I'm completely familiar with Qingyun City, I have no problem getting the general directions.

In less than half an hour, they arrived at the door of a sturdy brick house.

Chu Chen now had a large piece of mutton and a bag of rice in his hand.

He handed the things to Hu Zi to carry, and followed Hu Zi's directions to the house.

On the mule cart, Hu Zi had already told Chu Chen all the information he had found out.

This man's name is Chang Wei. His family has been building houses for generations, and it is said that no one in Qingyun City can compare to him in building houses.

Therefore, this person holds an extremely high position in Qingyun City, and ordinary people cannot persuade him to come.

"May I ask if Mr. Chang is home?" Chu Chen knocked on the door and asked.
