The street drums of Dongshi are ringing as usual, and business begins.
Zou Luotuo, who lives in Shengdaofang, Yanxing Gate, South Gate of Dongcheng, also pushed his cart all the way to Dongshi early in the morning.
Zou Luotuo pushed his cart and queued up to enter through the south gate of the east wall of the East City. Entering the door was the ten-foot-wide North Street, and there was a five-foot-wide ring-walled outer street along the square wall.
"Steamed cakes, freshly baked hot steamed cakes!" Zou Luotuo walked along North Street while pushing his cart, slowing down and shouting as he walked.
At this time, all the shops along the street are open to welcome customers, and there are many people on the street.
"Zou Luotuo, here are ten steamed cakes."
"Good job, shopkeeper Liu." Zou Luotuo quickly pushed the cart over, opened the cover, picked out ten hot and fluffy steamed cakes from the cage, and sent them over. "Chenghui, one hundred and fifty dollars."
"The price has increased again, Zou Luotuo, don't be too greedy."
Passing the corner of the street, several large carts loaded with goods came from the opposite side, and there happened to be a few people leading horses. The camel quickly pushed the cart to the side, but the wheel hit a protruding brick and overturned.
This incident also attracted many nearby vendors and people to watch, and they all praised the young man for his kindness and generosity.
"Can."
Luo Tuo was hawking while walking. His steamed cakes can be considered a time-honored brand in Dongshi. Although there are bakeries, restaurants, etc. in Dongshi, there are also many small vendors like Luo Tuo who push carts or carry burdens and hawk along the street. They pay a sum of money regularly.
Just fine.
There are shops along the streets of Dongshi, with shops in front and shops in back, and some residential buildings.
The steamed cakes also rolled out a lot, and the white steamed cakes were stained with mud and became very dirty. The camel angrily cursed that it was bad luck.
The person who called him was on the side of the medicine store. He usually doesn't go there because there are many ruins there and there are far fewer shops. Moreover, the ruins left after burning down took up a lot of the road, making the road there very uneven.
, it is inconvenient to push a trolley.
"These broken bricks and tiles are too much in the way. Shopkeeper Zhao, please borrow some tools like a pickaxe to dig up and level this place. We will open and operate here in the future." The young man pointed to the bricks and tiles occupying the road.
All the way to the intersection, there were many ruins of shops that had been destroyed by fires. They were just abandoned there. Over time, they became garbage dumps.
The camel pushed the cart along and thanked him profusely.
Forty, the last one can get about five cents, which is a net profit of two hundred cents.
A large pottery urn appeared underground. Zhao Xin wanted to use a hoe to dig up the earth to cover it, but many people had already noticed it. Amid the shouts of everyone, he had to dig it out reluctantly.
Zhao Xin borrowed some tools, and Wu Huaiyu took Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, Wu Fatty and others to dig there.
"These steamed cakes are stained with ashes, so we bought them, patted them clean and they are still edible."
Zou Luotuo didn't expect that there would be so many customers. He sold a steamed cake for fifteen yuan. In fact, his capital was only six yuan, and he could earn nine yuan. Although he had to pay money to the Dongshi regularly, he also had to pay the gatekeeper and the city official.
I have to pay some filial piety, but the profit is still good.
Although the carts he sells are not as much as those in the shops in the city, he is still quite satisfied.
Zou Luotuo's real name is not Luotuo. He is the eldest son in his family. Originally, everyone called him Zou Dalang. Later, his camel-backing became more and more powerful. His shoulders were high and his back was bent, like a camel. Gradually, everyone called him Zou Luotuo instead of Zou Dalang. Zou Luotuo
Luo Tuo has been selling steamed cakes on a cart in Chang'an for many years, and most people in Dongshi know him.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought someone over to help him lift the car.
"I used to be a dental dealer who worked in both ends of the East and West markets, mainly in various stores. Recently, a boss came to the East Market to open a pharmacy and hired me to be the shopkeeper. Today I brought the boss and them here to check out the shop.
I heard that your camel steamed cakes are good. If that is true, I will be the shopkeeper here and I will buy yours more often."
"The cost of a steamed cake cannot exceed five yuan. If you sell it for fifteen yuan, the profit is much higher than ours." Although shopkeeper Liu said so, he still took the copper coin from the counter, but it was not Kaiyuan Tongbao, but Sui Dynasty.
Five baht. Camel quickly ordered it without saying anything else.
“Steamed cakes, fresh steamed cakes, Zou Luotuo steamed cakes,”
"Camel, here, buy cakes."
Zou Luotuo was very happy to have made the first order of business after opening the door. He put the money in the cash box in the car and continued to sell on the street.
One of the young men said as he picked it up, and asked the shopkeeper just now to get the money, and still gave him fifteen yuan each. The twenty dozen people who had fallen on the ground steamed the cakes and paid them according to the price.
"There seems to be some pearls!"
Zou Luotuo packed up the car and pushed it aside, took the money, and thanked the young man repeatedly. He didn't expect that the young man was so kind-hearted.
However, when business comes to your door, the camel will still push the cart over.
The customer also ordered 600 yuan and presented it to him. The camel thanked him and picked up two more steamed cakes and gave them to the shopkeeper, "Take more care of them in the future." After saying that, he happily pushed the cart and continued to sell. Since he was here, he simply
Sell as you go.
In fact, his fifteen cents for a steamed cake was originally five baht. If he used copper to open the Yuan Dynasty, it would not be so expensive. Although the court required the old money to be recovered and recast, the people still use a large number of Sui five baht and so on.
, too little copper Kaiyuan circulated.
"It's fifteen cents for a steamed cake. My camel steamed cake is very heavy, and it's soft and sweet."
A pottery urn was dug out and when opened, there were many things inside.
The camel was very happy pushing the cart, and even had time to ask some unfamiliar guests.
The camel craftsmanship is good and has a good reputation. Although I have to get up early to make cakes and work hard to sell them, the business is good every day. I can support a large family with this craft.
"Gold, I see gold!"
Countless shops gather for business in the East Market. At its peak during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of shops in the East Market. But at that time, a fire burned down twenty-four rows and more than 4,000 shops. To this day, the southeastern part of the East Market has a nine-square grid.
There is still a large area in ruins.
"I want forty. Can you send them to the pharmacy in front of me?"
He was about to go west along South Street when someone called him in the south alley. The camel responded and pushed the cart over the ditch facing the street and into the alley.
After only a dozen rotten bricks were removed, someone among the onlookers shouted, "Oh, there's an urn down there!"
Forty steamed cakes were picked and served.
"The price of food has increased again, and there's nothing I can do about it. The small business is just a living, and it can't compare to the big business like Shopkeeper Liu." Luo Tuo said with a smile.
Near the Bazufang Gate, there are many mansions, which are used for merchants to gather business, trade, and even provide accommodation and food for the merchants.
Usually, camels first go west along South Street, and then hawk at the southeast cross street for a while, then turn to the southeast corner streets and alleys, and finally go home through the east gate of the south wall.
"Money, a lot of copper coins."
"There seems to be gold leaves."
“There’s also silver pork loin collar!”

The scene immediately became heated, countless people moved forward, and even more people rushed over after hearing the news.
