Chapter 654 Market
Zhao Ying frowned and said solemnly: "A Xiang, don't be afraid. I will let you know the prefect Cheng and others, guard the door and never let the Huang person enter Guzhuang for a step."
Gu Xiang: “…thank you.”
Actually, she is not particularly worried.
At first, I was naturally worried for a second, but the worry disappeared in a flash. I was really not afraid of him going.
At that time, Gu Xiang was most worried about Gu Zhuang's safety. He was a newcomer and worried a lot about Gu Zhuang. After all, it almost died of bandits.
In Guzhuang for so long, what Gu Xiang did best to help his hometown was probably various measures to resist the bandits.
Every household is connected to the tunnels and stores materials directly in the mountains. Most of the village patrol teams are soldiers from the Yongyi Army. They are trained daily, have a full meat esophageal tube, and their combat effectiveness has increased much compared to the beginning.
Not to mention, the elite soldiers she brought to the capital have now returned to Guzhuang, and the imperial guards led by Chen Xu...
Gu Xiang smiled and said, "Xueying, let's go around the village and buy some mountain goods to go back to my father and mother to have some extra meals."
"There are also peaches that the little girls like to eat, let's see if they can take some away."
This circle caught up with the big event held in the surrounding villages that only once every month.
On the way back to Guzhuang, Gu Xiang discussed with Li Sheng. Seeing that the Duke was not in a hurry to rush, the two decided to take a walk.
As for Zhao Ying, Gu Xiang felt that he might not know what it means to go to the market, so he simply stopped asking for his opinion.
The local specialties in the surrounding villages and the mountain goods in the mountains are sold the most in such large markets, and the quality is also the best.
Many people will only sell good things for several months and half a year after they have accumulated good things at the market.
The market location is next to the official road station leading to Shouling County. The terrain is flat and it is a large area of flat land.
The distance between Changjin, Guzhuang and Dali Village is almost the same as that. If you look from above, you should be able to see a huge umbrella.
Every day when the Dajin Festival comes, the villagers in each village set out before dawn. When it is dawn, the market is already full of shoulder to shoulder and very lively.
As soon as Gu Xiang came, he saw several vendors selling canned side dishes in "Gu Ji". She glanced at her and found that the most expensive one was not meat sauce. Chili sauce was more expensive than meat sauce.
This chili sauce is simple when Gu Xiang made it. He only added salt and wine. He poured it with boiling hot oil and put it in a jar for fermentation. They didn't take out the food for their "Gu Ji". They were given side dishes.
Now the market has been sold at a high price.
Gu Xiang looked around and happened to see a familiar fellow villager who was discussing business with a businessman from another place.
This team of merchants has more than a dozen carriages and horses, and there are seven or eight entourages. The shopkeeper's clothes seem to be from Jiangnan, but his accent is a bit of a northwest accent.
The entourages are dressed in various ways.
Li Sheng lowered his voice and said, "It's a businessman who walks a long way."
Zhao Ying nodded.
"If you want to talk about my chili sauce, it's a magical medicine. You should have heard that General Wang, the famous general of our Yongyi Army, was almost ill last month. Several doctors in the army shook their heads, scaring his wife and children."
"At that time, someone took the chili sauce over and added two spoons to General Wang's pancake. General Wang immediately sweated a little and became more interested. He ate a pancake with the chili sauce, drank a bowl of porridge, and then he could go out and run away the next day."
"I have heard of it, I have heard of it. The chili sauce from 'Gu Ji', even His Majesty now said it's OK."
The businessman's face shone and his eyes shine.
People say that this pepper is more expensive than pepper.
What’s even more rare is that it is not very expensive. Just one jar of 18 cereals, this jar is not a small jar, and a family can eat it for half a month.
When he was staying at the inn last month, he happened to meet a vendor who brought chili sauce to the inn to sell. At that time, he was so tired that he was infected with the cold, and he was not happy with the appetite. He was so angry that he could eat anything. Seeing that the jar of chili sauce next door was opened and eating deliciously, he bought a bottle of it himself.
Unexpectedly, I thought this food was really good.
He quickly asked the vendor about the origin of the chili sauce. As soon as he asked, a group of guests from all over the world in the inn mentioned the chili sauce.
This thing is really a good thing. It has only started to become popular in recent months. Some people are not used to spicy taste, but they can even eat some chili sauce.
The one with a slightly spicy taste will only feel delicious if you can't eat spicy food.
The merchant heard the legend of the ears, and some people said that chili sauce is a magical medicine, and it has a resurrection, and it has a nose and eyes.
He didn't believe it very much, but he also thought it must be a good thing.
But at that time, he didn't make up his mind to buy too much. They had to buy some goods along the way, and suddenly they had to move out money to buy things next to them, and they were always uneasy.
But a few days ago, news came out of the capital that it was said that the chili sauce had entered the palace, and both His Majesty and the Queen Mother loved it very much.
These merchants are very well-informed. He happened to be nearby, so he hurried to the place where the chili sauce was produced and Guzhuang. Unexpectedly, before he arrived at Guzhuang, he came across a big market and was lucky enough to buy this batch of chili sauce.
Gu Xiang listened to them talking about business with great interest, and he was quite happy to hear it.
"If you don't eat, they are all things from rural people. If you touch them, are they disgusting or not."
Gu Xiang, Zhao Ying and others all turned their heads and saw a young lady wearing a light green big sleeve shirt and a bright pearl flower on her head. She held her mouth, stared at her eyes, and covered her nose. Even when she looked at the stools placed casually on the ground, she looked disgusted.
Li Sheng frowned.
When Gu Xiang smiled, he would not be unhappy because he said something he disliked. There was an old carpenter next to him carving a hairpin. His hand was obviously very good. The small ordinary wood changed his appearance in his hand in a blink of an eye.
She was curious and bought a lotus hairpin with stalks and inserted it directly into her head.
"Hahahaha, these country people are really interesting. They actually poked a wooden pole into their hair."
Gu Xiang looked sideways and saw the little lady pointing at her without any scruples and laughing.
The companions around the other party, the innocent and ordinary young man, was so embarrassed that his ears were red.
Li Sheng's face turned muffled, and he was really unhappy this time.
Zhao Ying's eyes lingered on Gu Xiang's hair, and Momo also bought a exactly the same one, picked up his white jade hairpin and replaced it.
As soon as he changed, Zhao Ying became satisfied.
"snort."
There was another cold snorkeling beside him.
The little lady who spoke at first stared at Zhao Ying for a while, hesitated for a while, and seemed to want to step over, but she asked her companions to hold her around her and came back to her senses. She only saw the handsome man walking forward with the village girl.
"Atang, go quickly, Dad is still waiting for us to buy food and go back."
