After shopping for a day, Li Yanran finally got tired and returned to her house with Li Feng.

"Meng Hulu, tell me, is it cool for me to outsmart the thief today?"

Li Feng glanced at Li Yanran and nodded.

I have to say that what the other party did today really impressed him.

"That's right, he's handsome. Let's continue tomorrow. I, the lady, will be responsible for being handsome. You can just call 666!"

"Lao Li, let's go to Dongshi tomorrow. Go and find out what fun things there are in Lower Dongshi. I have to make a good guide."

Li Yanran had long been accustomed to Li Feng's boring look, and did not expect him to become a good flatterer, so she continued to talk to herself.

At dawn the next day, the two disguised themselves again and left the house, heading towards Dongshi.

Compared to the numerous vendors in the West Market, there are far fewer people in the East Market, but the stores here will be larger and the corresponding prices will be higher.

The same biscuit may only cost one penny in the West Market, but it will cost three cents in the East Market, and even five cents in some cases.

As the price increases accordingly, the service and the meat content of the biscuits will also be improved.

"what is that?"

The two were walking on the streets of Dongshi, and Li Yanran's eyes suddenly lit up because she discovered something that she never dared to think of.

A group of donkeys covered in linen were tied outside a store.

"Donkey rental place?"

Li Yanran's head is full of question marks, what is this?

"You two gentlemen, do you want to rent a donkey?"

Li Yanran was looking at the donkey in a daze, and the waiter hurried over to greet him.

"Lease a donkey?"

Li Yanran was completely confused when she heard this. Is it possible to rent donkeys in Chang'an City?

Could it be said that the Tang Dynasty was so advanced? I’m afraid this is not the earliest Didi beat the donkey. This one is too good at playing.

"Young Master, Chang'an City is ten miles from east to west, and nine miles from north to south. Although the East Market is not big, coolies will have to wear their toes just walking there, not to mention the sons of wealthy families and the children of officials, so most of the people who travel there are probably They will rent a donkey to travel."

Seeing Li Yanran's appearance, the waiter took the trouble to explain.

"Then how can I rent this donkey?"

It turns out that Li Yanran asked about the price of renting a donkey. After all, it was better to expect the donkey to talk than to expect Li Feng.

"Sir, our donkeys are very cheap. They only cost 50 cents for 20 miles. If you rent two donkeys at once, I can give you a discount. How about 48 cents for 20 miles?"

The waiter didn't look down on Li Yanran just because she was a child. In his opinion, everyone was the same. After all, anyone who could go shopping in Dongshi would have some money in his pocket.

"Then how do you calculate how many miles the donkey has traveled?"

Li Yanran was confused again when she heard that fares were calculated based on kilometers. Isn't this the principle of taxis in later generations? It's so advanced that fares are calculated based on the mileage.

"Young master, I don't know something. Our donkey walks slowly. It takes half a day to walk twenty miles. So it is said that we charge by the mile, but in fact we still charge according to the time of return. If you return fifty coins in half a day, you can return it in one day." One hundred articles, you understand what I said."

The waiter carefully explained the charging situation to Li Yanran. After all, they are based on honesty and are engaged in long-term business. They cannot deceive others and damage their credibility just because the other party is a child.

"I see, then let's bring two donkeys, Li Feng, and give me money."

Li Yanran also nodded to the waiter, who didn't mean to look down on her at all. His attitude was very similar to that of some luxury store clerks in later generations, who prioritized service and made her feel comfortable.

"One head."

Li Feng took out fifty copper coins and threw it to the waiter.

"Both gentlemen, we still need a deposit of half a pound."

The waiter counted the copper coins, confirmed the amount, and then asked the two men for the deposit for the donkey again.

Li Feng frowned, but still took out half a copper coin and handed it to the waiter.

"Thank you for your patronage. This is the contract for renting a donkey. Please keep it. The contract can be used to redeem your deposit when the time comes."

The waiter handed the contract to the two of them, and the donkey rental transaction was completed.

"Xiao Er, is there anything interesting in this Dongshi?"

Li Yanran sat on the donkey and asked.

Although Li Feng was asked to find out what fun things there are in Dongshi yesterday, the places Li Feng found out were all antique shops and the like, so what's the use?

Li Yanran felt that she had a problem in her head before going to these places. Not to mention that she had a lot of this stuff at home. Even if she didn't have it, she wouldn't take a second look. After all, she couldn't understand it either.

If I weren't afraid of the things in my house that would make me angry, she would have replaced them with gold, silver, and jade.

"I heard that a group of refugees from Lingnan Road have just arrived in Yahang and they are going to hold a slave auction. There are many beauties among them. If you are interested, you two young masters, you can go and have a look."

Upon hearing this, the waiter blurted out directly.

"Slave auction?"

Li Yanran couldn't help but be stunned. As a new youth who grew up in the new era, this word was too far away from her.

"Of course, if you two young masters don't like this, there is a troupe beyond Yaxing. It's very interesting. You can go and have a look."

Hearing Li Yanran's words, the waiter felt that he had said the wrong thing. He was introducing Mao's slave market to two stupid children. Isn't this uncomfortable?

"Okay, thank you, second brother."

Li Yanran nodded, grabbed the donkey with her legs, and left the donkey rental place and moved forward.

"Where are we going? The troupe?"

Li Feng grabbed the donkey's reins and looked at Li Yanran on the donkey.

"Go to some vaudeville troupe, go to Yahang."

Li Feng knew that even ten donkeys couldn't pull back Li Yanran's decision, so he could only lead the donkey obediently towards Yaxing.

Upon entering the area of ​​the dental shop, Li Yanran discovered the high platform in front of her early. There were more than a dozen women in ragged clothes standing on it, and they were pointed at by the people below like goods.

"Let's go, let's go."

Li Yanran pointed with her hand, and Li Feng could only lead the donkey and walk over.

"There are a total of ten people here. They are all refugees from Lingnan. They have just signed a contract to sell themselves into slavery. Take a look.

Although these women are ragged and ragged, they all have pretty faces. They used to be everyone's young ladies. As long as they take care of themselves a little and take a while, they can return to their original appearance."

The person in charge of the auction was a dental professional from a dental shop. Looking at the crowd gathered below, he directly picked up the small face of a homeless man and showed it to everyone.

"Stop talking nonsense, we're all waiting, let's get started."

A middle-aged man with a faint smile looked at the woman on the stage with gleaming eyes, urging Yaren to start quickly.

"You see this man is in a hurry. I won't talk nonsense. Each of these ten women has a starting price of three guan, totaling 30 guan. Let's start."

Yaren is not angry at all. After all, he is a professional. If he couldn't stand this anger, this business would have been out of business a long time ago.

"Thirty-one."

"Thirty-one consistent five hundred words."

The person below asked the price in a consistent manner, and the person who spoke first couldn't help but curled his lips.

"A bunch of country bumpkins, I, Jinyulou, will give out fifty strings on Thursday"

"Jinyu Tower?"

The person who directly offered fifty guan teeth was stunned, but he was relieved when he heard the name of Jinyu Tower.

Jinyulou is considered to be outstanding among the romantic places in Chang'an. Countless young men spend their money there every night.

Although the current price is fifty guan, the wealth these ten women can bring to them is far more than this.

"How about it? I'm offering fifty coins. Does anyone want to steal it from me?"

Jin Yulou's Thursday glanced at the whole place with wide eyes. They were just a bunch of country bumpkins. They were bidding consistently and semi-consistently. They really weren't worthy of even carrying his shoes.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel depressed. Ordinary people were fine just watching the excitement, but the snakes in other brothels were already eager to eat Thursday's meat.

"Hiss, give in, give in."

"That's right, I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you."

After hearing this, several people who were in high spirits just now chose to give up.

If the Jinyu Tower can be so big, there must be someone standing behind it. If the people don't fight with the officials, they can't afford to provoke them and they don't dare to provoke them.

"Sir, what should I do? This Jinyu Tower is not easy to mess with."

A snake man on the edge of the crowd spoke to the young man who was protected by two guards.

"Why is Jin Yulou not easy to mess with? Who is behind them?"

The young master looked at the woman on the stage, his eyes filled with camouflage, and he didn't even listen to what the snake man said.

"Jinwu Guard General Zheng Xuanfeng."

The snake man frowned and reported directly to the backstage of Jinyu Tower.
