Two hours later, the plane stopped at Hangcheng Airport, and Gou Shaoqun found a bus to take everyone to the hotel.
Many foreigners can already be seen on the road.
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Are these foreigners so keen to come from their countries to compete with you?"
Tang Ping thought for a while and said: "This kind of sports meeting can be regarded as another kind of war in this peaceful period. Everyone also wants to win or lose in this."
Li Shimin nodded to express his understanding. He heard from Tang Ping that China in this era was already very powerful, and those countries would definitely not be able to win a war, so they would want to find some ground elsewhere.
This kind of thing is not new in the Tang Dynasty. It is not always like this in the neighboring countries. As long as there is no war, they will also want to defeat the Tang Dynasty in other places.
"Boy Tang, is there anything delicious here?"
Cheng Zhijie touched his belly and said.
Tang Ping looked at Gou Shaoqun, it was his first time here.
Gou Shaoqun smiled awkwardly and said: "This place is known as a food desert. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed not recommended to eat some of the more famous local dishes. Foreigners say that they are not acceptable."
When he said this, Tang Ping remembered that joke, saying that everyone who eats Xihe vinegar fish likes to eat it outside Hangzhou.
Because apart from Hangzhou, the Xihe vinegar fish in other places is more delicious because it is not authentic!
Opening the public reviews, it turns out that the highest-ranking dish is Kaifeng Cuisine’s fried chicken.
Fortunately, Tang Ping remembered that Fan Gu had said that he had an apprentice who opened a private restaurant in Hangzhou, so he called Fan Gu to ask him for help, and then he finished the meal.
"Let's go to bed early today. Tomorrow I will take you to the cheapest place in China for shopping." Tang Ping said with a smile: "You can buy whatever you want to buy tomorrow and I will pay for it."
As soon as he said this, everyone gave him a thumbs up. Of course, he had to bring more things back home for such a trip.
Although many new gadgets have appeared in Datang over the years, they are still not as good as those here in Tang Ping.
Early the next morning, a car full of people was pulled by Tang Ping to Yicheng.
The expressway from Hangcheng to Yicheng is only 120 kilometers, and it takes just over an hour.
Li Shimin and the others looked outside from the car. They were full of large trucks loading goods.
"Are there so many goods produced here?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Well, this is the largest small commodity market in China. These goods will be shipped to all parts of the country." Tang Ping pointed inside and said, "But this is also my first time here. I heard that when we entered, people looked at us as if we were strangers and asked for prices. It will be relatively high, so remember to bargain when the time comes.”
"How to bargain?" Li Shimin asked.
This is really a blind spot in his knowledge.
Tang Ping had never been here before, but after reading a lot of guides, he learned more about it: "The first is to be thick-skinned; the second is to speak jargon, not to buy things, but to replenish goods; the third is to cut First cut the price to one-third of the original price; the fourth thing is to find fault with those things."
"Bargaining? Old Cheng, I'm good at this!" Cheng Zhi said, tapping his chest.
At least he felt that just by being thick-skinned, he was far ahead.
So he said to Li Shimin: "Whatever your Majesty wants to buy later, tell me, Lao Cheng, and I will definitely give you a suitable price."
Bargaining is really unfamiliar to these people. After all, they don’t need to do anything personally to buy anything at home.
Moreover, they were not short of money, but after hearing what Tang Ping said, they felt that it would be more interesting and fulfilling to buy something after bargaining.
Tang Ping had already opened a family card for each of them on WeChat and told them to just scan the QR code when checking out.
There were too many people here, and it was difficult for everyone to get together. After agreeing on a gathering event and location, a group of people went in aggressively.
Li Shimin walked with Empress Changsun and Cheng Zhijie. After entering, they entered the clothing area.
Of course, the materials of these clothes are not as good as those in the Tang Palace, but they are better than the ones in the same style.
Especially those children's clothes, there are all kinds of styles.
Empress Changsun couldn't walk when she thought that all her children were slowly having children.
Of course Li Shimin knew what she was thinking, so he took her into a shop.
Cheng Zhijie stood calmly in front, pointed at the children's clothes and asked, "I plan to replenish these, how much does one cost?"
The shop owner looked at a few people and said casually: "The average price is sixty-one pieces."
Cheng Zhijie thought for a while, and followed Tang Ping's instructions and said directly: "Twenty-one, I'll make up for it more."
"Okay, you choose!"
Cheng Zhijie originally planned to wait for the other party to counter-offer before slowly trying to deal with him, but he didn't expect that he agreed immediately.
At this point, Cheng Zhijie knew that he must be expensive.
But he had seen all these clothes, and they were indeed well made, and they were indeed very cheap at twenty yuan.
So he could only turn his head and look at Queen Changsun.
Empress Changsun also liked the clothes here. After choosing dozens of pieces with a smile, she paid the bill and then asked the shopkeeper: "This must be expensive for us, right? Can you tell us what's wrong?"
The shop owner didn't expect someone to ask so directly after paying the bill. He felt that Empress Changsun had an indescribable affinity, and unconsciously wanted someone to talk to her.
So he hesitated and said, "We sell clothes here by the pound. This customer asked how much one piece costs as soon as he came in. It must be his first time here, right?"
Cheng Zhijie was stunned: "Selling by pound?"
At first, before Tang Ping came in, he told them that the food here was cheap, and they were all mentally prepared. But now they didn't expect it to be so cheap, and people were selling it by the pound?
No wonder they agreed to it just after bargaining with me. How much does such a children's clothing weigh?
The three of them left the store in disbelief, and Li Shimin said leisurely: "Tang Ping said that they have such advanced industrialization here that they can reduce manufacturing costs to a minimum. It turns out that it can be so low!"
In the Tang Dynasty, these clothes could only be made by hand.
There are so many novel styles that if made manually, even with Datang's current average labor price, they cannot be made.
So when Cheng Zhijie counter-offered twenty-one items, no one thought it was expensive.
However, after suffering a loss once, Cheng Zhijie learned a lot.
The clothes I bought later were cheaper in each place than in the last place. I found two people in the market who specialized in helping people carry goods, and I quickly bought a cart full of things.
The clothes were almost bought, and the three of them went to a toy store. Of course, these things were not missing.
Cheng Zhijie went in and raised his voice and asked: "How much do the toys here cost per pound?"
