Li Shangrong has never heard of or seen the market.
As the old saying goes: the goods in the capital are salty and tend to trade. They take seats as stores and form a market. They stop four days and nights.
It means that the goods in the capital tend to trade, with straw mats as stores and painting circles as markets until the fourth watch.
However, she has been living in the palace for a long time. Later, she made a guest appearance in the Royal Guards for several months. Naturally, she has never been to such a place. She only hearsay about the excitement of the market.
But the excitement here is completely more than what she heard. It is also far different from the market she saw in Dunhuang.
"Nanjing, this is Nanjing, Princess Royal..." brow thousand laughter to understand why Li Shangrong was surprised, and explained with a smile. "At the foot of the emperor is the center of the Central Plains, and Nanjing is connected to the land of fish and rice in the south, the prosperous harbor in the East and the granary in the Central Plains in the West. How can it not become a trade center? Therefore, this Zhangjia market in Nanjing can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous market in the Central Plains, with many flat prices and goods, which is most suitable for civilians."
Zhangjiaxu has a long history. It existed as early as the previous dynasty or even earlier. Meiqianxiao took the time to trace its history. It was said that the name of this place should belong to a person surnamed Zhang. Later, I didn''t know whether he was down or promoted and made a fortune. People went to the empty house to leave this open space. Over time, the people who went to the market occupied the land for sale, and it became a market. The market is like a market It''s called a place that was once deserted.
"The martial law market in Nanjing stopped for a period of time before. Now it has not recovered for long, and there are still few people."
"How many people are there? Look how many hidden dangers such as fire, disease, pushing and trampling are hidden here? No, it must be reported to Ying Tianfu for rectification and regulation here..." Li Shangrong shook his head and immediately committed the old problem.
"You''re really in a high position. I don''t know how easy it is for Li min. who doesn''t want to go to the bright and clean Nanjing official market? Although things there are good, they are expensive... Rectifying here just forces it to become another official market. After standardizing, what you can''t afford to sell and what you can''t afford to buy will be expelled. It doesn''t mean closing the Zhangjia market. But what the market needs, after closing the Zhangjia market, it will be more expensive There will be another Wang''s market and Chen''s market... Don''t laugh at the poor family''s lack of food. Why don''t they eat meat? Wealth doesn''t understand hunger and cold. "
Li Shangrong was speechless for a moment, and she knew it with a smile. If she hadn''t come to Gongwei company and followed them to Dunhuang before, she might still have some doubts.
Black and white cannot be cut across the board. There is always a gray intersection in the middle... Even black and white are different in the eyes of thousands of people. It is difficult to determine black and white.
Although Mei qianxiao is still a scoundrel, Li Shangrong has not been so disgusted with his first acquaintance, and even feels that he has learned a lot of truth with this person... I don''t know if this truth is strange.
"You have a point." Li Shangrong said faintly, "turn around and let Ying Tianfu pay more attention to the fire prevention work here."
"Now that I am here, I am not going to go in and experience the feelings of the people, Princess Royal."
Li Shangrong frowned and looked around. Although he understood the existence here, he still felt there was no need to come in... Seeing that meiqianxiao was disappearing into the crowd, he had no choice but to follow up.
"Don''t cry before and after the princess when you go out. Won''t you cry against the snow?" Li Shangrong whispered and smiled at his eyebrows.
"I''m afraid you scold me for being disrespectful to you, elder sister. You don''t know how strict you are with me..."
Severe? Li Shangrong only noticed that the image of meiqianxiao in his eyes was very bad, but he didn''t think about what he was in meiqianxiao. It turned out that he always thought he was a severe and harsh person?
Fortunately, if you are not strict with this scoundrel, give him some color. He opened a dyeing workshop the next day. Can you not be strict!
"It''s starting to enter a crowded place. Keep up."
Seeing Mei qianxiao spread out and pushed forward, Li Shangrong hid behind Mei qianxiao and gently grabbed the back of his clothes. No matter how independent and strong she was, she was still a girl and couldn''t squeeze with the crowd.
Mei qianxiao''s physique was really good. He pushed forward like a big ship against the wind and waves. Li Shangrong was next to him and was really not crowded.
Soon she kept waking up, and her vigilant heart relaxed slowly. She was deeply attracted by the big market where the end was.
There are all kinds of merchants and even foreigners who set up stalls in this market. There are also a variety of stores, including groups of shop assistants who have built wooden sheds, and small grass mats on the ground. There are a wide range of goods, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but there are so many kinds that I can''t recognize them at all!
I haven''t seen all kinds of fruits. I haven''t seen them carefully. Some strange livestock mixed with all kinds of fishy smell come to my face. Before she finished reading it curiously, strange wooden ware, unspeakable leather, Western swords inlaid with gold and silver and unique Western Jewelry passed by again
"This... Even ships are sold?!" after passing through a larger wooden shed, Li Shangrong was surprised to see what was sold inside, and subconsciously grabbed the back coat with eyebrows and smiles.
Elder sister, I''m not the horse you''re riding. What do you mean by reining? Kind of you to ride up!
The boat in the shop is not a small boat used by fishermen. It is clearly a larger boat that can take about ten people. This kind of boat is small by the sea, but it''s safe to be a ferry in the river basin. Such a big ship unloaded its outer packaging and buckled it upside down in the store, like a family burial coffin.
Meiqianxiao could only lean back her head to avoid being killed by Li Shang Rongle. A burst of delicious fragrance came to her nose. Li Shangrong''s body fragrance is similar to that of her people. It is not vulgar or gorgeous, but it is cold with the freshness of Xuemei, which is never tired of hearing.
"This shop is not a boat family. How can a boat family put the boat upside down and don''t curse people over the boat... No wonder it can''t be sold. It''s bad!"
"That''s not the point! Who will ship to the market for sale! Cough, put your head back..." Li Shangrong shouted with a little excitement. When he looked back, he saw that meiqianxiao''s head was about to fall into his arms. He was embarrassed to let go so as not to tear meiqianxiao''s clothes.
"That''s why it''s said that this zhangjiaxu is the first market in the Central Plains. Don''t mention the boat. As long as you can carry it... Oh, your bloody intestines are fresh enough, big brother!" Mei qianxiao was saying. A butcher who slaughtered pigs nearby was a little reckless. A string of pig intestines poured down with a knife, and the blood splashed Mei qianxiao''s trouser legs.
Originally, he was quick-sighted and could flash away, but after flashing, Li Shangrong suffered. He had to slightly adjust the angle to help Li Shangrong block more, but splashed a foot.
"Thanks, thanks." of course, Li Shangrong noticed it. He patted his eyebrows and smiled on his back. It was hard to say thanks.
It''s strange to say that if you thank her with Li Mengyao, Jiang Chen and other people, it''s as natural as breathing, but it''s always embarrassing to thank her with this goods. Maybe I despised him badly before. I thanked him and subconsciously felt that it hurt my self-esteem.
"So you should understand that we market people sometimes seem dirty and smelly." Meiqian explained with a kind smile.
"It''s different." Li Shangrong snorted coldly, so that he wouldn''t be fooled by Meiqian''s smile with high sounding reasons. "Your dirty smell is that you don''t bother to take a bath. If Liu quietly didn''t always ask you to take a bath, you would have been kicked out by me if you couldn''t even get in the gate of Gongwei!"
Tut... I used to live in a dog kennel by myself. I didn''t pay so much attention to it. People don''t tear it down and stab their feelings face to face... I don''t want face! Now take a bath every day!
"All right, all right, here it is."
Meiqianxiao suddenly stopped between the two stalls selling sugar and seaweed. Dozens of straw mats were placed on the ground, covering a wide area. On the straw mats were all kinds of old ornaments, which dazzled people.
An aunt with a heavy back is sitting in the middle of the group with a stool. Her eyes are divine, and she exudes the momentum of one man in charge of the pass!
Meiqian smiled and couldn''t help but be serious. He can occupy a wide area in zhangjiahui. How can he be a small person... If you want to bargain, momentum is very important. You can''t lose the momentum handover on the first side!
Mei qianxiao confidently introduced: "this is the largest store selling second-hand jewelry in zhangjiahui. The landlady is a tiger aunt called ''a tiger in zhangjiahui''. Whether you know her name or not, if you dare to quarrel with her, you will kneel..."
"Your boy is here again?" the aunt recognized him without waiting for meiqianxiao''s introduction, and shouted in a thick voice, "shameless, dare you bring a girl this time? This guy always takes out second-hand goods to renovate and send them to my aunt. It''s shameless, girl. Don''t be cheated by him!"
Hey! I didn''t come to quarrel with you. Why does one mouth make me want to kneel!
Last time, it was his master who brought him to buy second-hand and renovated it to coax the girl. Brazenly, he didn''t admit that he bought it by himself, and it was on his head, okay! How can I explain that you''ve polluted my innocence like this!
Facing Li Shangrong''s disdainful sight, Meiqian smiled and understood that it was time to give up the struggle, with one hand: "pick it casually and I''ll give it to you. But it''s not to coax the girl. Don''t stare. I coax no one dare coax you. Your father can''t afford it..."
