481, [Nothing to practice stalls for fun]
Fang Chang took out a copper coin from his sleeve and threw it into the basket.
The soldier could see the basket from the angle. He glanced at him squintly, making sure that what he threw in just now was not bad money or fake money, so he took back his gaze and looked at the next person.
For those who are handsome, ordinary clothes and carrying some bamboo poles, there are many soldiers guarding the city gate who are handsome, and have no extra interest. As long as you ensure that you receive enough city gate tax, you can release it normally. Fang Chang's outfit is not conspicuous among the people entering the city. There are not many people like him who bring some miscellaneous items into the city, and no one cares what he wants to do when he enters the city.
After all, the world is now peaceful and nothing is going on throughout the day.
Fang Chang carried a few big bamboos and leisurely wandered around Ninghe Prefecture City. He had never experienced any wars here, so the economy on the market was not greatly affected. The people's appearance was obviously much better than those who had been poisoned by the war.
All industries are prosperous on both sides. Although they are not as good as the surrounding areas, they are considered good if they are placed within the world.
Some streets have many stalls and crowded people, while others are secluded and remote, with few people. Fang Chang looked back and forth, chose a secluded place, put down the bamboo pole on his back, and leaned against the side.
He took out the old sheet from his backpack and spread it on the ground, then placed the miscellaneous items collected from the cliff one by one.
No one noticed Fang Chang's process of taking out a lot of things from his backpack.
It is not lively, there are not many people, but it is not deserted. Fang Chang chose this location, with a large tree with lush branches and leaves blocking the noon sunshine. So occasionally people will enjoy the cool here.
Some people have already taken a fancy to this kind of place. Next to Fangchang is a porcelain basin, leaning lazily there.
Seeing Fang Chang coming, the owner of the porcelain basin stall looked at him and ignored him. Then he looked at the end of the street and alley waiting for the customers. It was not until Fang Chang set up the stall that he seemed to realize that he should say hello, so he turned his head and said to Fang Chang:
"I said, brother, there are not many people here. I have been selling porcelain basins here all year round. Since I have a reputation, people often come here to see you and don't pick places. Judging from the situation, you are a new stall, right? Selling these groceries will cost you money."
Seeing that the other party's tone was sincere, Fang Chang smiled and said:
"Thank you for your advice. I'm not going to use anything I can find, and I can't put it in a bad way. I'll sell it while there's no work in the field. If someone buys it, I'll make a pocket money to exchange for wine. If no one buys it, I'll be afraid. I'll just come to the city to relax and play with it."
"That's good." The porcelain basin stall owner nodded constantly, "If you don't rely on this to support your family, why bother to go to the market to dry it. This weather is broken, I tell you, here are the coolest under this big tree nearby, and it's still a windy vent. Besides the few people, it's the most comfortable to set up a stall here."
The two talked for a few words, said something unnutritious, and took care of the stalls.
Fang Chang didn't shout, there were houses on both sides, and there were few pedestrians. It was not appropriate to shout, so he just let the flow. Anyway, he had no purpose in setting up a stall here, just to be interested and come to experience life.
There are many people passing by, but I haven't met anyone who is willing to come and ask for it for a long time.
However, during this period, two people had already walked to the stall next to them with clear purpose, and after bargaining, they handed over the money and chose a porcelain basin to leave.
"How do you sell this bamboo pole?"
When someone passed by, he saw the big bamboos beside Fang Chang and came to inquire.
"Fifteen cents per piece, these two smaller ones per piece."
Fang Chang said with great interest when he saw the customer coming to the door.
Hearing Fang Chang's offer, the man in coarse cloth said nothing, but walked to the front of the bamboo pole, reached out to check the bamboo poles in turn, and muttered:
"It's too fresh, it's not roasted or dried. You have to go home and process it yourself before you can use it. It's a tiring thing."
Knowing that the other party was trying to bargain, Fang Chang laughed secretly and argued with interest: "This was picked from the mountains. I carried it all the way, and my bare feet were a lot of waste, and it was all worth it." He patted a bamboo and said with a smile: "Look, where can I find such thick and straight bamboo around? Only in the mountains can there be."
After a moment of silence, the other party obviously accepted Fang Chang's statement. He continued to examine the bamboos, obviously hesitating. As if he had made up his mind, he said to Fang Chang:
"It's cheaper. You can buy half a basket of cakes for fifteen cents, which is much more expensive than the market price."
"The old saying goes, 'It's better to buy it than to buy food'. I'll finish half a basket of cakes in a few meals, but no matter where the bamboo pole is used, as long as it is not filled into the stove and burned, it can be used for a long time." Fang Chang responded.
"It's cheaper, I'll buy it if it's cheaper." It seems that the words are a bit poor, and the person on the other side is obviously not good at bargaining, so he can only repeat this sentence.
Having no choice, Fang Chang reduced his money by three cents and sold two bamboo poles with him.
The other party was very happy and carefully selected the two thickest ones. After paying twenty-four cents and meeting the accounts, he carefully carried them home slowly, and didn't know what they were going to do.
He looks like a honest person. If he is smart, he might be able to bargain for ten cents, and he has to let Fang Changlao add two bamboo shoots.
Finally opened, but Fang Chang had no reaction and still had the leisurely expression.
However, the stall owner who sold porcelain basins next to him spoke out for the length of the bottom. Just as the man bought the bamboo poles just now, two porcelain basins, one large and one small, were sold at the stall next to him.
There are a lot of miscellaneous items on the square stall. In addition to a few bamboo shoots, there are also a few tools that you can't use, an old straw raincoat, four or five green mountain fruits, two stones, four or five irregularly shaped glassware, several old benches, a dozen old books, two stacks of paper, a toy windmill, four or five bamboo baskets that you woven by yourself, a set of hand scales with a slightly worn front star, and two sets of homemade squirts with flint velvet bags.
Because there are a lot of things here, gradually, some people will come to see you.
At noon, the stall owner who sold the basin took the pickled cake from his arms and ate it with boiled water from the kettle. Fang Chang just ate a few fruits that were originally used as a commodity on the stall. After all, before he went down the mountain, he had already eaten a meal that was integrated with brunch, and even ordinary people would not be hungry.
It was hot at noon and there were few people, so even the children around him stopped playing after going home for dinner. However, a strong man passing by saw that Fang Chang’s bamboo shoots were fresh and attractive, so hesitated to buy them, and bought a bamboo basket with the bamboo shoots he bought.
