The little things on the road just passed by in a flash. As for why this new type of farming tool was not introduced in the first place, Xiao Han did not want to go into details, but he specifically asked Butler Lu to arrange the production, just to tell him tactfully: There are some things that we Xiao Han The government should not be in ruins but cherish it!
The family members have good intentions, Xiao Han admits this! Everyone wants to keep good things at home and use them first.
But they really don’t understand Xiao Han. For Xiao Han, what he loves is the entire Tang Dynasty! He is willing to pay for what is good for it, not to mention this kind of thing that benefits the world by plucking just a few cents.
The wheels swayed as Xiao Han and his party slowly approached Hanzhong City.
The city gate official sitting lazily at the table saw this strange procession from a distance, rubbed his eyes and took a closer look! He immediately jumped up as if his butt was on fire, yelling at people who were entering the city to get out of the way, so as to make way for Xiao Han.
It is the Marquis's privilege to swagger into the city under the spotlight! As for whether you will be secretly scolded by others, that is a trivial matter! It's hard to become a marquis, but if you don't have any privileges, what's the point?
When the carriage passed by the city gate official who was bending down and bowing, Xiao Han, who was in a good mood, popped out a bit of broken silver from the window with his finger. The delighted city gate official quickly stretched out his hand to catch it, and the wrinkles on his old face spread out!
The food and drinks are ready for tonight!
After entering the city, I went to Yuandake Yamen to pay a visit as usual. After all, we have a good relationship with each other, so I should at least let him know when I go to other places.
But unfortunately, the people from the yamen politely told me that neither the governor nor the carriage were here. They had gone out early in the morning. I heard that they were going to the towns below to collect taxes in autumn and would not be able to come back for a while.
Seeing that Yuan Dake and Zhang Bao were not there, Xiao Han was happy to relax.
After leaving the traces and the carriage in the backyard of the Yamen, and telling Lunzi, A and others to stay away from him and not to become light bulbs, he leisurely went to the market with Xue Pan.
The market in Hanzhong City is not too far from the Yamen, and it looks quite big!
Although it is not as grand as the two cities of Chang'an, it is still much bigger than the countryside market. Most of the items sold are worthless little things, but the advantage is that many things cannot be seen in Chang'an, and it can be regarded as a local characteristic.
Xiao Han didn't expect that when Xue Pan arrived at the market, she immediately transformed from a young lady into a cheering little girl. She looked around and was so happy.
But this thing is right when you think about it. Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with a sullen face all the time at the age of sixteen or seventeen? It's a rare time to let yourself go, so naturally you should be happier.
"Xiao Han, look, there is a rabbit for sale here! So cute!!"
"Buy it! When you get enough, you can stew the mushrooms when you get home..."
"Tch, the rabbit is so cute, why do you want to eat it?"
"Huh? Last time you said the goose was so cute. After I cooked it, you seemed to eat more... hiss..."
There was a sudden burning pain in the soft flesh of his waist, and Xiao Han, who almost screamed, immediately swallowed the rest of the words!
How could he forget that there were two universal laws in his previous life?
One, everything my girlfriend said is right!
Second, if your girlfriend is wrong, please refer to the first one!
I don’t know if women’s love of shopping is innate. In this bustling market, there are many young and beautiful young women strolling in. Xiao Han is dizzy to see. The men are eating from their bowls and watching. What's in the pot is nature, just like a dog can't change it!
"Hey, fortunately we were in the Tang Dynasty, and the atmosphere was open! If we had lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were only men and old women in the huge market, how boring would it have been?"
With a sigh, Xiao Han pulled out the eyes from a graceful and charming young woman. When he turned around, he found Xue Pan's eyes widening with anger, and two green-white fingers caressing her back and forth.
"What are you looking at?" Xue Pan asked through gritted teeth.
Xiao Han's forehead was dripping with sweat, and the flesh around his waist tightened like a conditioned reflex: "Ahem... Well, I was just checking to see if there was a thief! Yes! That must be the case!"
"Where's the liar?" Xue Pan rolled his eyes, but seeing Xiao Han's nervous look, he didn't use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw again this time. Instead, he snorted heavily and turned around to continue looking at the roadside stalls. A set of clay dolls on display.
Behind him, Xiao Han, who had escaped death, raised his hand to wipe his sweat with his sleeves. Women of the Tang Dynasty could not be offended...
There are a total of six of these innocent clay dolls on the stall, placed together with other clay and wood sculptures.
However, unlike the common ones, the stall owner of this stall carefully painted them. Although they are not gorgeous due to the quality of the paint, they still look festive.
"Uncle, how do you sell this?" Xue Pan looked through the clay sculptures a few times, then raised his head and asked the elderly stall owner.
The old stall owner had already noticed this gorgeously dressed girl, and when he looked at the young man standing behind him carrying a lot of things, he knew it.
"Little girl, this one costs six coins!" The stall owner replied with a smile as he sat upright.
Xiao Han felt uncomfortable carrying things at this time, so he wanted to find a place to rest. When he heard the old man asking for a price, he reached out and took out six big coins from his purse and handed it to the stall owner: "Cheap, here, six copper coins , wrap it up for us quickly!”
The stall owner still smiled and stood up to take the copper coins, but he was not in a hurry to wrap up the doll, but looked at Xue Pan: "Which one does the little girl like? Pick one!"
"Huh? Pick one? What do you mean!" After hearing what the old stall owner said, before Xue Pan could question, Xiao Han became anxious: "Oh, you have a doll with six coins! Then why don't you grab it?"
Having been in Datang for so long, Xiao Han didn't know everything about market prices, but he had a general idea.
The old man in front of me was obviously asking for a lot of money and was just sitting on the floor paying him back! Although I am not short of the money, I can't be slaughtered like a fat pig!
"This young master is careful to say that these clay sculptures are all made by old men in one step and then colored with fine pigments. Although they are a bit expensive, they are definitely worth the money!"
The old stall owner probably did this kind of business of serving food to others, so he didn't get angry when being pointed at his nose and scolded, and he still answered with a smile.
Xiao Han was furious: "You just have nephritis, and your whole family has nephritis! I'll give you another six copper coins and wrap them up for the young master, or else I'll overturn your stall and smash your clay sculptures!"
"Xiao Han, why don't we give it up..." Xue Pan blushed a little. The business she usually saw was the kind of large-scale and harmonious business. Real business cannot be done with benevolence and righteousness. Where has she ever seen such a business? He looks like he can get into a fight even if he disagrees with you!
When the old stall owner heard the little girl say no, he felt a little guilty, so he changed his mind and said: "Twenty-four copper coins, if one of them is missing, my stall will be overturned and I won't sell it!"
"twenty!"
"make a deal!"
Xue Pan was stunned as she watched Xiao Han negotiate the price. She probably had never experienced such an interesting life in the marketplace.
Pay money and make an account.
Although twenty copper coins was still a bit expensive, it didn't exceed Xiao Han's bottom line. Visiting this kind of market without bargaining would be as boring as cooking without salt.
One by one, he counted out the fourteen big ones and handed them to the stall owner. However, in the process of handing them over, the rabbit he was holding was disobedient and kicked, accidentally kicking the purse containing the money on the ground.
The heavy bag fell to the ground and the hole immediately burst open. A few golden leaves poked out from the inside, and the golden light instantly reflected into the eyes of several green-skinned men squatting in the corner.
