Now that they have household registration, they can enter and leave the city gate by paying a penny. After entering the capital, Liu Xingzhi took Yunxi to the East Street of the capital. The most lively place in the capital is the East and West Street.
There are more dignitaries on East Street, and the things in the shops are generally more expensive. On the other hand, West Street is mainly visited by common people, and it is more suitable to go there to buy firewood or vegetables.
Liu Xing had stayed in the capital for a few years in his previous life, so he was quite familiar with this place. After knowing Yunxi's plan, he led her to a shop. The shop had three floors and was located in the inner part of East Street.
But there are many people coming to eat, and most of them are rich people wearing brocade!
"Hu Ji Restaurant is famous for its delicious food. Although the location is not the best, there are a lot of people coming here. I remember that this restaurant will sell some fresh winter vegetables from time to time. It is the best place to sell your food!"
Liu Xingzhi led her to the kitchen. When he saw a fat old man, he stepped forward and said with a salute: "Shopkeeper, we have some vegetables. I want to see if the shopkeeper would like some!"
The old man was quite curious when he saw that he recognized him. Judging from the way he was dressed, he couldn't be a customer of their store, so where could he have seen him?
Naturally, Liu Xingzhi would not say that he had known him in his previous life. He handed over the basket that Yun Xi had deliberately brought, and saw that there were five handfuls of Chinese cabbage, five handfuls of spinach, and several kilograms of soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. This Chinese cabbage
and spinach, he buys some in this store from time to time. But he hasn't seen these two kinds of bean sprouts for a long time, especially the mung bean sprouts that sprout so well, this is the first time he has seen them.
"This is a pretty good thing, Mr. Hu. If you have it in the future, please send it to me!" Shopkeeper Hu was very satisfied with these things. He looked at the small amount of things and said, "I have been paying thirty cents a piece for these cabbage and spinach."
If it wasn't winter, this thing would only cost three or four cents. Because there is less winter, the price has increased tenfold.
As for these bean sprouts, they look fresh, but on weekdays you can get a lot of beans per pound, and the price is only two or three cents. Now it is winter, I will give you fifteen cents per catty, the price is not cheap anymore!"
Yun Xi thought for a while, a pound of beans in Lucheng costs about seven or eight cents, and if you double the price here, it only costs fifteen or six cents. A pound of beans can produce ten to twelve catties of bean sprouts. Even if there is loss, it is still profitable.
No matter how old or young you are. However, it can only be sold at this price for two months at most. When the weather warms up, the price will drop.
"As for how much the shopkeeper needs every day, I'll have someone bring some over every day. We don't have any green vegetables at the moment. Bean sprouts will be available in four days! Of course, if there are other fresh vegetables in the future, they will be sent to the shopkeeper to see!"
"Twenty kilograms of each of these two kinds of bean sprouts will be sent to you every day. If you have spinach, you can get about ten kilograms a day! If you eat well, I will also buy from you in several other stores!" Shopkeeper Hu thought about it.
After a while, I ordered a little more bean sprouts. This thing itself is not common, so I can eat it freshly recently.
"In addition, the reason why I paid such a high price is because I have a requirement. If the bean sprouts are sold to me, they are not allowed to be sold to anyone else in the short term. You two need to know this!"
Yun Xi knew that if the streets were full of them, it would be difficult for the opponent to win by surprise, so he wouldn't buy them at this price. However, forty kilograms a day is too little!
Seeing the change in her expression, Liu Xingzhi whispered a few words in her ear, then saw her eyes brighten up, and he nodded hurriedly in agreement. They still had a lot of things to do, and bean sprouts were only part of it. It would be best if someone could help sell them.
but!
"Does this little brother know me?" After the conversation was over, shopkeeper Hu looked at Liu Xingzhi curiously, "If you can reveal my identity at once, I must be an unusual person! Could it be that you have asked about me?"
Liu Xingzhi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I came here to escape. I was lucky enough to get a special wooden sign, so I went to stay in the post house for some time. I talked about you with a shopkeeper there. I just tried to call you
A moment!"
The smile on Shopkeeper Hu's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at him up and down in surprise, then laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to meet that person, you are lucky. I am a guest from afar, and Hu is my host today.
How about inviting you two to try our Hu Ji’s dishes?"
"That's no need. I'll have to disturb the shopkeeper some other time. Today we and my wife will leave first!" Liu Xingzhi clasped his fists and politely refused. Seeing him like this, shopkeeper Hu didn't say anything more. Anyway, there will be transactions in the future.
, there is no need to rush.
When the two came out and met Yun Xi's doubtful eyes, Liu Xingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to ask about this person's relationship with Shopkeeper Qin? Or do you want to ask why he didn't stay for dinner?"
"We all want to know!" Yun Xi put the three hundred coins he had just received into his space and whispered: "I just planned to make a contract with him, but you suddenly started a relationship, and I don't have the nerve to mention it!"
"The contract is dead, but the person is alive, but now that the old man's face is here, you don't have to worry! As for this person's identity!" Liu Xingzhi thought about it and said: "Do you think, if the National Protector Army is still here?
Now, do you need a lot of money to support it?"
Yun Xi nodded. It cost a lot of money to raise an army, and it was normal to open a shop. However, she had some vague guesses in her mind. Qi Heng appeared in the mountains over the border town, and Shopkeeper Qin was also in the border town.
The location of the Protectorate Army has a lot to do with it. These are just a few thoughts in her mind. She is just a common person. She doesn't want to get involved in such complicated matters.
However, she was a little curious about Liu Xingzhi's situation. She knew Shopkeeper Qin and Shopkeeper Hu, and seemed to know a lot about the National Protector's Army. So what was he doing before? Could he also be a National Protector's Army?
one of them?
The Protectorate Army has disappeared for decades, and the original people are no longer young, so they will inevitably recruit some more people. Beggars, orphans and some refugees should be good choices. Will Liu Xingzhi be there?
"Okay, let's go to the cloth shop and help you make some clothes!" Liu Xingzhi took her to the largest cloth shop, where there are all kinds of fabrics. The embroiderers in the shop are very good at craftsmanship, and the things they make are all beautiful.
Quite pretty.
"You two, what kind of fabrics do you want to choose?" The waiter in the shop took them in politely and introduced them one by one. There was no change because their clothes were worn out.
Liu Xingzhi took a fancy to a water-red brocade. It would be great if made into a long skirt with wide sleeves, or into a thin jacket with a diagonal lapel. It would also complement Yunxi's skin color very well.
But Yunxi just looked at it and put it down. She lived in the village and it was a bit strange to wear brocade. The most important thing was that she didn't like this kind of fabric that felt slippery. Instead, she was more interested in cotton.
