Qingfeng City is very prosperous. Compared with the dilapidated Taoli Village, everything in the city seems so bright and beautiful.
It can be said that there are many pavilions and busy traffic, and even the expressions on the faces of the residents in the city are so energetic.
But Li Fengnian didn't act too surprised like a country bumpkin entering the city. Compared to the previous life, this place is still far behind.
After several inquiries, Li Fengnian came to a market.
The market is very lively, with all kinds of goods available.
Especially the delicious snacks that were full of color, flavor and flavor made Li Fengnian's mouth sore and he couldn't help but want to buy one or two to cure his gluttony.
But he still held back. For safety reasons, he only brought fifty copper coins into the city this time. He didn't have much money, not to mention that he had to pay ten coins in tolls. So before the real business is done, it’s better to put down the lust for words.
"Yizi, Yizi!"
Suddenly, the cry of a roadside vendor attracted Li Fengnian's attention. Especially when he heard this somewhat familiar thing, he was suddenly shocked.
"Paper? It can't be..." Li Fengnian thought luckily, his eyes kept moving along the sound, and finally stopped in front of the hawker's stall.
When he saw the snow-white soap on the stall, he felt like his sky was falling.
Soap has actually appeared in this world!
"Boss, how do you sell this soap?" Although his heart was already in turmoil, he still knew what he should do at this time.
"Thirty cents a piece." The boss said without enthusiasm after looking at Li Fengnian's clothes.
Li Fengnian nodded, and then left the stall thoughtfully.
Thirty cents is no longer a small amount of money. It can buy six jins of corn, or four jins of fine rice. As for soap, you can only buy about one tael, which is quite expensive.
In addition, lard in this world is not as expensive as it was in ancient times on earth, so Li Fengnian estimates that a piece of soap can earn at least twenty coins!
Of course, for ordinary people who can't even afford food, they are reluctant to waste money on extraneous items such as soap, but for the gentlemen in the city, it has become a necessity of life.
Therefore, if Li Fengnian also engaged in this soap selling business, although he would not be able to become the richest man like the protagonists in other novels, he would at least be able to ensure that he would have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
But there are certain risks involved, because he doesn't know yet whether the soap industry is a monopoly business.
If he were to rush directly into the soap market like a fool, he would most likely end up in pieces, so he had to take a long-term approach!
Feeling depressed, Li Fengnian angrily spent three copper coins to buy a sesame seed cake, which comforted his stomach that had not been oiled for a long time.
Although his father is a hunter, he doesn't pick mulberries these days, and he eats meat and naturally doesn't hunt. His father's hard-earned prey is exchanged for money and then bought food.
In the past, his family usually ate coarse sorghum rice. In times of difficulty, they also ate wild vegetables and wheat bran.
But even now that he was rich, he did not dare to eat meat because he had not eaten meat for a long time. He was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it when he ate meat, so he only bought a piece of sesame seed cake.
Even so, in the past, this kind of fine food could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
There are still a few sesame seeds on the sesame cakes, and the hot flames fully release the aroma. Li Fengnian is obsessed with it just by smelling the sesame cakes in his hand.
After finishing the sesame cake carefully, Li Fengnian licked his lips to reflect on the aftertaste. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind: It’s great to have money! I want to make money!
At this time, Li Fengnian had a new idea. In his previous life, he was a college student who had studied advanced mathematics. In ancient times, he could be a bookkeeper!
Not only can he get paid by then, he can also collect various intelligence in this city and discover various business opportunities!
Thinking of this, Li Fengnian immediately set off to various stores to recommend himself.
Li Fengnian, a small householder, was not interested, so he went directly to a drugstore with a large appearance.
But just as he was about to talk to the shopkeeper, a tall man burst into the door and pushed Li Fengnian aside with a gentle push.
"Shopkeeper, hurry up! Please bring Mr. Tang out. I've been hit by the iron sand palm and need urgent treatment!" The big man said while holding back his breath.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Liu, don't worry, I'll go right now!" The shopkeeper quickly walked out from behind the counter, and then ran to the back hall in a panic.
"Huh? Iron Palm?" Li Fengnian was shocked. He originally thought that this world was like the ancient earth, a feudal era where imperial power ruled everything.
But now it seems that the world may be more interesting than he imagined!
After a while, with the support of the shopkeeper, an energetic old man came from the back hall.
"Liu Er, your door-breaking sword skills are already very good. Who hit you so seriously?" Seeing that Liu Er's face was pale and he didn't even dare to take a deep breath, the old man immediately had a rough idea of his injuries. judgment.
"Mr. Tang, I'd better ask these things later. Right now, I'm relying solely on my inner strength to hang on. If it's later, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!" Liu Er said with a weak smile.
"Internal power!" Li Fengnian, who was eavesdropping on the side, was shocked again. This world actually has magical internal power. Doesn't that mean this is a wonderful world with extraordinary power!
"Hey, little brother, what can I do for you? You also saw that the store is encountering something and needs to close early!"
When Li Fengnian was shocked, the shopkeeper walked over from the side with a smile.
"Ah, I...I...I want to buy a piece of sulfur!"
Li Fengnian looked left and right, and suddenly he saw the word sulfur on the label of the medicine box.
"Okay, one or twenty-three cents, how much do you need?"
"Give me one or two first!"
…
Li Fengnian walked out of the drug store and walked around the city. He bought two taels of saltpeter for eighteen cents at another drug store.
And after his deliberate search, he also discovered several martial arts schools in the city. After inquiring, he was shocked to find that the tuition here actually required twenty taels of silver per month!
As expected of a poor man with a rich military background, I can’t get out all this money even if I am exhausted!
But as a time traveler, after learning that martial arts exists in this world, how can we not give it a try. What if he has talent in martial arts?
As for where the money for martial arts training came from, he also had a plan, which was the sulfur and saltpeter in his hands.
If he could match the gunpowder, he might be able to make some money!
