Chapter 432 Toad can sing(1/5)
"So expensive?"
Before Li Xuewu spoke, Ji Weidong spoke first, frowning and squatting down to touch the blanket on the stall with his hand.
“Not machine knitted”
Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "This is knitted by hand."
Hearing Li Xuewu's words, the bearded man sitting inside gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up gesture.
"That's a bit expensive, isn't it just something you can put on your feet?"
Li Xuewu smiled, signaled to the stall owner, and took Ji Weidong to the next stall.
This guy's thinking is the typical practical thinking of this era, and he basically doesn't consider anything else.
If this carpet was left in later generations, few people would actually use it to pave the floor, and more often it would be hung on the wall as a decoration.
Several people strolled around and looked at the exquisitely made copperware, cowhide products, sheepskin products and particularly fine lambskin products.
When Ji Weidong saw the sheepskin coat, he didn't mind the price, so he paid for it and bought one.
The two clerks who followed also did the same.
Because it’s so cold outside in Wucheng, so cold.
Li Xuewu was wearing fur clothes, so he didn't look at the big items. Instead, he picked leather gloves made of lambskin.
What he picked was not just one thing, but a bunch, at least in Ji Weidong's opinion.
Li Xuewu's brain is really amazing. He can remember the size of his family's hands, the size of his good friends' hands, and the size of his good girlfriends' hands.
So when choosing, just compare the size of your palms to know which one to choose.
“The raisins are good”
Ji Weidong pinched one, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then looked at the bearded man staring at him and said, "It's ten yuan."
Upon hearing this, the bearded man instantly stopped his hostility and weighed him with a smile.
There is no such thing as a taste-before-you-buy approach in this market, and if it doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to pay for it.
So if it weren't for Li Xuewu and the others, Ji Weidong would have caused trouble again today.
He just has this temper, and it's not directed at anyone, but at the people here who are ordinary people.
Li Xuewu knew that the raisins here were good and he had bought a lot of them at the Erken Market.
But there are only so many. In the transactions that will be carried out soon, the proportion of raisins will not be low.
"We came at the wrong time, the apples here are delicious."
Li Xuewu said something to Ji Weidong, telling him not to touch the apples on the stall.
According to this young master's temper, if the apple is not delicious, he will definitely not buy it.
Although this place is not as developed and wealthy as the mainland, it is really rich in products.
Dried fruits, jade carvings, silk, Chinese medicinal materials, etc. If we can really reach trade cooperation with this country, the size of the steel rolling mill may increase dramatically.
Of course, this depends on the situation this year. If we can keep this plan, then development is inevitable.
Since it is called Bazaar, there is livestock trading in this market.
Li Xuewu looked around carefully. The price of live animals was already as low as cabbage, but the meat sellers were still very disciplined.
Ji Weidong was playing with the Yingjisha knife he had just bought. Seeing Li Xuewu in Xiangma, he couldn't help but asked in a funny way: "Do you still have this skill?"
Li Xuewu curled his lips and asked, "You haven't forgotten that we have a horse, right?"
"Hey!"
Ji Weidong slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget this?"
As he spoke, he imitated Li Xuewu and looked at the tall horse tied to the pillar.
"How do these things look at each other?"
"See with your eyes"
Li Xuewu retorted casually and turned around to look at the wool.
"I still don't know how to see with my eyes!"
Ji Weidong spat and followed Li Xuewu to look at the wool like a dog-legger.
"Do you know this stuff?"
Ji Weidong looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you also have sheep at home?"
“We don’t have pigs at home yet, and it doesn’t stop me from eating pork.”
Li Xuewu was really annoyed by this stubborn guy. If it wasn't for his identity, he would have kicked him aside long ago.
Ji Weidong was not upset after hearing Li Xuewu's words. When we went out to play together, whoever took it seriously first would lose.
This rule is the same for men and women.
So the more Li Xuewu annoys him like this, the more he will follow Li Xuewu and tease him.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Li Xuewu looking left and right, asking questions about everything but buying nothing, Ji Weidong asked.
Li Xuewu touched the silk on the ground and said: "Look at the market situation and ask them if they will stop talking and give you a good price."
Ji Weidong said with a smile: "It seems that you really want to do big business. You are doing market research here."
Li Xuewu also knew that as long as he kept this kid with him, he would not be able to hide it, so he had no intention of hiding it.
He can't hide what he should know, and he can't understand what he shouldn't know.
After walking around for a while, the two of them arrived at noon. By now, there were far fewer people in the market because it was almost dinner time.
"Let's go eat too, we're all hungry after walking around."
Ji Weidong touched his belly, looked at his watch, and asked Li Xuewu to eat.
Li Xuewu glanced at the Afantis who were eating rice with their hands, and knew that Ji Weidong must have seen that they were enjoying their meal.
"It hurts when you see other people pooping."
As he spoke, he led a few people out. Although the place was full of fireworks, Li Xuewu still didn't like eating in this environment.
After leaving the market, you will find a normal street market. Walking along the Erdaoqiao Grand Bazaar, you will see several local restaurants.
"What to eat?"
Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Ji Weidong and said: "You have worked hard today, I will treat you to this meal."
"Do you still need to be polite?"
Ji Weidong stared at the small blackboard outside the restaurant and muttered: "Come out with you, who will treat you if not you~"
As he spoke, he recited the names of the dishes on the blackboard: "Pilaf rice, barbecue, meatball soup, oiled meat noodles, finger meat, roasted whole lamb, lamb chops, beef tendons, beef offal, naan pit meat,
Stuffed skin, braised mutton pancakes...".
When the names of the dishes were announced, several people behind him drooled and Li Xuewu grinned.
But if this kid catches me, I might bleed heavily today.
"Hey!"
Ji Weidong pointed to a restaurant and said, "Let's go eat a big plate of chicken!"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, wanting to tease him, but looking at the child's innocent appearance, it was better not to cause trouble.
"Let's go! Just eat this!"
Li Xuewu waved his hand and walked to the restaurant with a few people.
The restaurants here are also very unique, and the decorations inside are more fancy than those in the mainland.
However, the tables, chairs and benches are still the same. After all, this is a public restaurant, so they all look the same.
The restaurant staff saw that Li Xuewu and the others didn't look like locals and there were so many of them, so they arranged them in a corner position.
This is not to discriminate against Li Xuewu and others, but the understanding and communication between ethnic groups at this time was still not as transparent as in later generations.
Arranged on one side to be able to eat with peace of mind and convenience.
Li Xuewu and the others were all young men, so they really didn't care about this and let Ji Weidong take the order first.
Despite what this guy said at the door, he only ordered a large plate of chicken after he came in, and then ordered other staple dishes.
Li Xuewu asked the driver and the two officers to take charge, and they were all a little embarrassed.
"Let's go out for a trip, but we can't lose our mouth."
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If there are no taboos, then I will order it."
As he spoke, he glanced at a few people, and then asked the waiter for lamb chops, finger meat, beef tendons and meatball soup.
This can be regarded as the standard of four dishes and one soup.
