I was a hunter in ancient times
Chapter 17
Anyang Town is built around the mountains. The bluestone slabs at the foot of the mountain echo the green hills. When the ox carts pass by the archway with the word Anyang, you can see all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. In the open space outside these shops There are also many small vendors with big umbrellas selling on the street.
Crowds kept pouring into the town, making the street more and more bustling, and their cars were parked in front of a small tavern.
Shen Xi got out of the bullock cart first, and walked briskly towards the tavern: "Aunt Zhang, I'm here to bring you wine."
After a while, a woman in her 30s came out of the tavern wiping her hands, and she also smiled when she saw Shen Xi: "Xiaoxi is here, and my guests are all waiting for the wine you brewed." , but I look forward to you."
After the woman finished speaking, she yelled into the room: "The head of the house, come out to fetch wine."
"Here we come, here we come." Not long after, a more honest and honest man also came out of the house. He first smiled at the woman and Shen Xi, then walked straight to the carriage and headed for the tavern. Move wine.
The woman ignored him and led Shen Xi into the tavern to pay the bill.
For the four jars of wine, Shen Xi made a total of two pennies, which were heavy in his hands. When he went out, he saw Zhou Du and Luo Fu waiting for him, took twenty copper coins to pay the fare, and said his plan: "Grandpa Luo , you first find a place to rest and have some breakfast, and I will take Zhoudu to do some shopping."
Luo Fu took the copper plate and counted it over and over again, frowned and said, "Xiaoxi, you gave too much this time."
Shen Xi said with a smile: "I didn't give much, and you worked hard along the way. The meal money should be given. If you don't accept it, Xiaoxi will have no face to take your car next time."
After Shenxi's soft and hard work, Luo Fu had no choice but to collect the money, and finally said: "Then I will wait for you under the archway."
"Hey," Shen Xi responded, took Zhou Du for two steps, then turned around and reminded, "Grandpa Luo, you must remember to eat, there is still a long way to go back."
"Understood." Luo Fu smiled, turned around and pulled the ox cart to find a shop selling haggis soup, spent a penny to order a large bowl of clear soup without any meat, with the dry food he brought, Filled the stomach.
After Shen Xi finished speaking, Zhou Du suddenly said, "Are you hungry?"
"Ah?" Shen Xi froze for a moment, realized that Zhou Du was asking him, shook his head and said, "You're not very hungry, how about you?"
"Not hungry." On the way, Zhou Du ate a lot of bean curd buns made by Shenxi, so he will still be full.
"Okay, then let's go shopping first," Shen Xi nodded, and then asked, "What do you want to buy first?"
Zhou Du said without thinking, "Clothes."
When he came here, he had nothing on his body except the little things he carried.Fortunately, it is still summer, and the clothes on my body will dry out the next day after passing through the water once a day.
In winter, he would have frozen to death, so there would be no such troubles.
Shen Xi took Zhou Du directly to the cloth shop.
Zhou Du walked in, and the boss standing on the counter of the cloth shop and the customers who were picking cloths in the cloth shop all looked at him.
It's really that Zhoudu is too tall, with short hair cut and good skin, Bu Zhuang looks short when he comes in, it's hard not to attract attention.
But they were all as Shen Xi said, they were only a little surprised, and then went to their own affairs.
"The customer wants to buy cloth." Seeing Zhou Du entering the shop, the owner of the cloth shop only looked around the shop without stopping. He hurriedly put down his abacus and stepped forward to greet him.
After scanning around the cloth shop, Zhou Du thought about it and asked, "Don't you make ready-made clothes in your shop?"
"Of course it is made," the owner of the cloth shop smiled and explained, "After the customer has selected the material, he only needs to pay a few tens of cash for the handwork, and the embroiderer will sew a tailor-made garment for the customer."
Zhou Du asked again: "When will it be ready?"
Boss Buzhuang, "If it is urgent, it will take two or three days, and if it is not urgent, it will be within seven days."
Zhou Du frowned, Taoyuan Village was too far away from Anyang Town, he would definitely not go to the town in two or three days, and seven days would be too long.
Zhou Du asked again: "Are there any ready-made clothes for sale?"
The owner of the cloth shop pondered for a moment, then took a look at Zhou Du: "Yes, there are, but I'm afraid it doesn't match the stature of the customers."
In the entire town of Anyang Town, there are not many people who can match Zhou Du's height, so the ready-made clothes may not fit well.
Now that it's all over, Zhou Du doesn't pick any more, "It's okay, as long as you can wear it."
"Hey, I'm going to find some clothes for the customer right away," the cloth shop owner responded quickly, and asked again, "I don't know what material the customer wants."
"Our shop has everything from silk and satin, silk and silk, to cotton, hemp and ramie." Without waiting for Zhou Du to ask, the owner of the cloth shop took the initiative again.
Compared with cloth, Zhou Du didn't know much about it, so he picked one he was familiar with: "Cotton cloth is fine."
"Wait a moment." The cloth shop owner understood, lifted the curtain in the shop, and went inside.
Shen Xi was at the side, hesitating to speak for several times, Zhou Du asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
Shen Xi paused and said: "I can also make clothes. If you don't dislike it, I can charge you less for handwork."
"Next time." Zhou Du thought for a while and still refused. He had already agreed with the cloth shop owner that he would not bother the two masters.
"...Success." Shen Xi, who had lost a sum of money, ran to the side to look at the materials in a moody mood.
Soon, the shop owner picked out some clothes of similar size for Zhou Du.
Zhou Du took the clothes to the inner room and tried them on for a long time, mainly because he had never worn such cumbersome clothes before, so he could only be considered neatly dressed after studying for a while.
Several sets of clothes can be worn by Zhou Du, only the cuffs and trouser legs are a little shorter, but it does not affect normal activities.
Zhou Du picked two simple styles, one black and one white, for Boss Bu to wrap them up.
"Guest, this padded coat costs you 260 Wen, and the sewing cost is [-] Wen, so the total is [-] Wen." The owner of the cloth shop took two sets of clothes to the counter and flicked the beads of the abacus.
Zhou Du generally has no idea about money. The cloth shop owner said that as much as he wanted, just as he was about to withdraw the money, Shen Xi came over and said unconvinced: "Isn't it five hundred cash for a normal piece of clothing? How can the price increase?" gone?"
The owner of the cloth shop was not annoyed by Shen Xi's questioning, and said with a smile: "If you are a customer, you will be charged five hundred yuan for buying clothes, but this customer is different. He is tall and uses more fabric than ordinary people. Of course there are differences."
Shen Xi looked up at Zhou Du, who was a head taller than him, and said resentfully: "I can't do less, at least I bought two, you are cheaper, we will ask you to buy them next time, otherwise these two We don't want clothes, go to the shop on the west side to have a look."
In the end, after Shen Xi was putting on airs and his tongue was shining like a lotus flower, the owner of the cloth shop offered to give up [-] Wen.
Coming out of the cloth shop, Zhou Du saw the joy of victory on Shen Xi's face, and asked puzzledly, "Aren't you thirsty?"
"What?" Shen Xi didn't understand what Zhou Du was asking.
With a normal expression, Zhou Du said in a loose tone, "It's just twenty essays, it's not worth your trouble."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Du was afraid that Shen Xi would misunderstand, and explained: "I didn't mean to say that you are bad at bargaining. I just think that twenty Wen is not worth mentioning compared to you."
After Zhou Du finished speaking, he happened to see a shop selling herbal tea on the side of the road, and spent five copper coins to buy a bamboo tube of herbal tea for Shen Xi.
I don't know at all, his words have brought great waves to Shen Xi.
Does this mean that he would rather spend more money than tire me?
For a moment, the little magpie that was stationed in Shen Xi's heart couldn't help but pop up again, screaming joyfully on the branch.
"Here, moisten your lips." Zhou Du came back from buying the herbal tea, saw that Shen Xi was still in place, and handed him the herbal tea without thinking twice.
Shen Xi took a sip and curled his fingertips slightly. No matter how cold the herbal tea was, he couldn't suppress the hotness in his heart. He took a few more sips and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I don't think this is a hard job, How hard it is to earn money, a penny is money, if you save [-] pennies today, you will be left with [-] pennies tomorrow, and if you add up, it will become a huge sum over the years.”
After Shen Xi finished speaking, she became more imposing: "Go, I'll take you to buy other things."
Zhou Du pulled his lips. He originally wanted to get rid of Shen Xi's thankless bargaining behavior, but unexpectedly it made him work harder.
After buying clothes, Zhou Du needed to buy other daily necessities, and he was curious about the blond Westerner at the mouth of Shen Xi, so Shen Xi took him to the grocery store opened by the Westerner at the end of the street.
The grocery store is not very big, but there are quite a lot of things inside, including all kinds of small items.
The owner of the shop was indeed as Shen Xi said, a blond and blue-eyed Westerner, not as tall as Zhou Du, but not much different, he was very excited when he saw Zhou Du, and took the initiative to talk: "Hey, are you also from the West? which country are you from?"
Zhou Du nodded symbolically at him, but did not answer him, and first searched the shop for daily necessities that he could use.
Yet he just picked up a wooden toothbrush.
Shen Xi would whisper beside him: "I can do this, he sells ten cents here, and I only charge you five cents."
Zhou Du nodded, put down his toothbrush, and picked up a wooden comb again.
Shen Xi muttered again: "I can do this too."
Zhou Du glanced at him, put down the wooden comb, and chose between toothpaste and tooth powder.
Shen Xi's voice sounded again: "Toothpaste can be made by decocting willow branches, locust trees, and mulberry branches, and adding ginger juice, asarum, etc. It is very easy to make. Tooth powder is even simpler. Pine resin and dried poria cocos are pounded Just sieve it into powder, you don’t need to buy it, I’ll give you a big box when you go back.”
Zhou Du lowered his eyes, and silently changed another target. This time he picked up a small blue cloth bag. Seeing that the opening was a drawstring, driven by curiosity, he pulled the drawstring and poured out a Comes in cotton shorts.
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows, tucked the shorts back, not forgetting what Shen Xi said to him in the cloth shop, and said naturally: "You can do this too."
Shen Xi blushed: "..."
Crowds kept pouring into the town, making the street more and more bustling, and their cars were parked in front of a small tavern.
Shen Xi got out of the bullock cart first, and walked briskly towards the tavern: "Aunt Zhang, I'm here to bring you wine."
