Chapter 2206 Subjective Standards (Happy Birthday to Moyan)
By the time Nie Canjun and others escorted the convoy arrived, Manbao and the others were already squatting on the roadside with the young people in this town, munching on the melons.
Of course, they spent money. The melons piled up in front of them were all bought with money. Bai Shan was soaked in the rain and dew, and bought several people's melons, and then squatted on the roadside to eat and talk to them.
The young man and the lady selling melons seemed a little embarrassed. They glanced at the melons piled up in front of them and said, "Sir, these melons can be stored in a cool place for a few more days."
Bai Shancai said gruffly: "It's okay, there are many of us, we will finish eating in a while."
The young man who spoke did not know that there was a large convoy behind them. He thought they were the only ones, so he glanced at their guards and said nothing. That was a lot.
Bai Shan distributed the melons to Daji and others. After walking in the desert for two days, they subconsciously drank less water. Their mouths were already dry, so as soon as they took the melons, they split them open and drank them one by one.
Chew it up.
Manbao and the others were more polite, but they refused Daji and used their own knives to chop the melons for them.
That knife had killed sheep and skinned rabbits, so that didn't matter. The main reason was that it had also killed people, and they didn't really want to chop melons with the knife that had killed people before.
Fortunately, Man Bao also had a knife. She touched her waist and took out a dagger, pulled it out and started cutting the melon.
After seeing this, Bai Shan hesitated to speak, but when he saw that they all happily took the melon and ate it, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
In fact, the knife given by the Queen may have killed more people, but it was just a long time ago.
Bai Shan glanced at the melon in his hand and took a bite without any difficulty. Man Bao already exclaimed: "It's so sweet. Can you eat your melons so early?"
The young man said: "It was planted in a greenhouse."
He sighed: "Our melons are delicious. Guests from the Western Regions like it, and guests from the Central Plains also like it. No matter where they come from, they like to take some with them when they leave. I heard that they want to take them back to their relatives.
So we will plant some in the greenhouse so that we can have melons to eat from June until August."
Normally, the melons here are harvested in July.
"But there are very few people coming this year. I heard that someone in the Central Plains has a strange disease. That strange disease is contagious. Hundreds of thousands of people have died and several cities have been emptied. Therefore, no merchants have come, so these melons will be sold.
Won’t go out.”
Man Bao and others: "...Is this how the word spread?"
The young people immediately asked: "By the way, you came from the Central Plains, right? Did you come here to escape?"
The eldest lady on the side came up and asked, "I heard that Liantian Khan is dead."
Man Bao and others were startled, and hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense. Your Majesty is fine. Hundreds of thousands of people have not died, only more than two thousand."
The young people were very suspicious, "Are you lying? We have all heard that one city was sealed off, and everyone who entered died. There are several cities in the Central Plains that are empty."
"So the businessmen from the Western Region stopped coming after hearing about it. Some even walked halfway. After hearing about it, they turned around and headed north. They heard that they were going to another country."
Man Bao: "To the north? Isn't that Uihe? What's there to do there?"
Bai Shan: "That's right, is there silk and satin in Uighur? Is there tea? Is there porcelain?"
How could the young man know? He didn't even know where Huihe was, so he could only look at them blankly.
Yin You brought the topic back, "You are all locals in this town, but there are no business travelers from other places?"
"Yes," the young man said, "there are some who have lived there for several years. They have spent all their money and can't leave. They can only make money here and have enough travel expenses to leave."
Bai Shan's eyes flashed and he asked, "Is there anyone from Zhongyuan?"
"have."
"Then there are also people from the Western Regions?"
"They are all there, they are all there."
Bai Shan was satisfied and asked with a smile, "Where do they live?"
The young men became alert and asked, "What do you want the young master to do with them?"
Bai Shan said with a smile: "We are going to the Western Regions and want to find a guide. It is best to hire someone from the Central Plains who has been to the Western Regions, or someone from the Central Plains and the Western Regions."
Hearing that it was this and not accommodation, the young people immediately put away their vigilance and waved their hands carelessly: "They are probably working for people somewhere in the town. They said they were out for travel, but they didn't
You don’t have money for accommodation, you don’t have money for food, you can’t even support yourself, how can you travel?”
Therefore, the young people in the town do not like to travel far away, and naturally they do not want to be guides for others. Of course, they cannot be guides.
From the perspective of young people, being far away from their hometown is a very dangerous thing. At worst, they may not be able to return home like those in the town, and even food and accommodation are a problem; at worst, they may die outside, and their families may not know about it.
.
As soon as their vigilance was put down, everyone started chatting all over the place. Among the six of them, even Zhou Liru could occasionally come up with a sentence or two. The young people all responded enthusiastically to her and Man Bao's questions. After all, the beautiful women
Who wouldn’t like a little girl?
So by the time the convoy arrived, Bai Shan and the others had already learned a lot about the situation in the town and had almost eaten the melons on their hands.
The motorcade had just approached the street and had not yet entered. Because there were too many people, cars and horses, the people on the street quickly noticed it, so everyone immediately left Bai Shan and they rushed over. This time, they were men, women, old and young together.
rush.
Oh my god, there are so many people, how much money can you make if you live in their homes...
Bai Shan quickly grabbed a young man by the collar, pulled him over and asked with a smile: "Why are you running?"
The young man screamed: "Let me go, let me go, you won't stay..."
Man Bao took out a dime of silver from his purse and threw it in front of his eyes. The young man immediately said: "Your eyes are really powerful, just like what the people in the Central Plains said, your eyes are like fire. My yard is indeed how beautiful it is."
The best in the family, if you live in my house..."
"If I don't live in your house," Bai Shan said, "Your family lives in the east of the town, we will live in the west of the town."
The young man choked and said dissatisfiedly: "What happened to Zhendong?"
"Didn't you just say that those poor travelers live in the east of the town?" Bai Shan said: "There must be an inn in the town. You take us to stay in the largest and safest inn, and we will pay you."
He gestured to him to look at their clothes and asked with a smile: "Do you think we live in Zhendong, the people who have wronged us?"
No matter what, just move in first and if you are not satisfied and check out, you won't get a refund.
However, the young man just thought about this. He glanced at the melons on the ground. They were chatting happily just now, and they bought so many melons from them, so they felt a little embarrassed to trick others.
He hesitated for a moment and then glanced at the people who had already gone to surround the convoy. He felt that if he squeezed in at this time, he wouldn't be able to grab the soup, let alone the meat, so he sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Go, but as agreed, you will be rewarded."
Manbao took back the silver horn, took out a bunch of money and said: "If you introduce it well, I will give you half. If you introduce it very well, I will give you all. If you introduce it to our satisfaction, I will give you
This piece of silver."
The young man was stunned. Is your standard too subjective?
