Chapter 307: The Life of Wu'an People (1)
Compared with the Qingjiazhai, which has a population of only tens of thousands and a relatively close social core, for Zhang Wang, it is obviously more similar to the martial arts family that is more likely to survive.
However, as a huge city with a population of more than one million, Wu'an is many times more expensive than Qingjiazhai in any case.
Yuan Shi, who can stay in Qingjia Village for two or three days and also book three meals a day, can only afford the expenses of one day in Wu'an City unless he is a big shop where the poor among ordinary people live.
Zhang Wang didn't have much Yuanshi on his body, and he also had the expense of practicing all the way. Although he arrived in Wu'an, there were only a little Yuanshi left at hand. Not to mention practicing, it was impossible to stay in the city without doing anything.
Although he was determined to kill and rob... but obviously, as the main city of the largest force in southern Xinjiang, Wu'an City can maintain public order in a giant city with hundreds of thousands of permanent residents, and the migrant population and Gu Masters every year... This itself is a demonstration of the strength of public security institutions!
What's more, the martial arts family is famous for its strong military strength and many experts. In this case, they have to do the job of killing people and making money... It's obviously a bit risky.
So, after finding an inn in the city to settle down, Zhang Wang, who was also stumped by a penny, had to go out and start looking for a way out for money.
...
In a huge city like Wu'an, there are naturally more ways to make money than Qingjiazhai, a remote area. However, the ways to make money such as catching insects, hunting monsters, or collecting herbs and ores are more troublesome than those of Qingjiazhai.
After all, as the main city of the Wu family, the Wu family itself regularly cleans up a large group of monsters within hundreds or even thousands of miles of surrounding Wu'an City every year to ensure the safety of Wu'an City and surrounding areas.
Those mine caves, or some specialty mountains, were also occupied by high-ranking officials and nobles in Wu'an City, so outsiders naturally could not enter these areas to collect them.
Therefore, although the wealth path to hunting insects or collecting other resources can also be done in Wu'an City, it has little value.
After leaving the inn, Zhang Wang casually started walking around the streets.
However, the more I walked, I walked towards the bustling streets. Not long after, Zhang Wang suddenly turned his head, as if he had heard something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and walked towards a teahouse on the street far away.
Teahouse is a culture of idle people.
On a modern earth, there are few people who sit down and drink tea and chat, eat some pastries, and listen to the songs.
"What are you drinking?" Seeing Zhang Wang walking into the teahouse, the waiter immediately came up to meet him.
"Come on a pot of light tea. Add another plate of pastries." Zhang Wang took out a Yuan stone from his body and threw it over.
Xiao Er smiled and took it, and wiped him the stool that was actually dust-free at all, shouted "Okay!" and then walked towards the counter.
Zhang Wang sat down and took a casual look at the ordinary teahouse on the streets of Wu'an City.
The so-called "seeing the smallest and knowing the details" - Zhang Wang has always attached great importance to details, so take this extremely ordinary teahouse in front of him as an example... This is a "outsider" like him who understands a place, or even one of the best channels for a world!
It's like the difference between a group tourer and a self-reliant backpacker.
It’s natural to spend money on the group, and someone will do it.
But the same is true. The kind of traveling to famous attractions to listen to stories, take photos, and buy souvenirs makes it impossible for them to really understand a place.
On the contrary, backpackers often make mistakes, and even find surprise places on purposeless itineraries. After walking through those famous attractions and taking photos, tourists traveling with souvenirs to get on the bus and leave... But backpackers can find a cheap but distinctive hotel, throw their luggage, and change into relaxed clothes. They stroll lazily on the land in foreign countries...
It is in this seemingly "inefficient" process that backpackers can get surprises and insights.
And how much difference is there between outsiders like Zhang Wang from another world and backpackers?
Zhang Wangzai, who has experienced countless alien planes, has rich experience in how to understand a world!
For him, if he makes good use of it... the information he can get in the streets and alleys is definitely no less than the national secret library that risked his life to invade these worlds once!
...
Since I am doing this teahouse business, I will naturally drink tea here very quickly. I take a few large copper pots and sit on the stove all day long, wanting some hot water.
The teahouse boss took out the tea leaves carefully, put them in a delicate white sand pot with boiling water, and quickly filtered out the teapot, and then added water again to allow the fragrance of the tea leaves to gradually spread in the boiling water...
With four small dishes of dried fruit snacks, this is the life of a teahouse that is quite popular among the people of Wu'an.
Just like the earthlings who go to Internet cafes, play mahjong, and sing ktv, in fact, in this world of Gu, the vast majority of ordinary people also have their own lives.
Apart from those busy people who are in high positions, busy making big money and scheming...
Then we will eliminate those poor people who "have eaten the first meal but have no meal".
Judging from the situation on the streets that Zhang Wang observed - most of the middle-class Wu'an people seem to be within three hobbies.
First, after most of the day, after noon and before the evening arrives, the teahouses of all grades on the street sit for tea, tea tasting and chatting, and eating some snacks seem to be a must-have activity for most middle-aged and elderly Wu'an men.
The "little sitting" here is equivalent to the rhythm of life in a very wealthy society in ancient times. This sitting novel takes one or two hours, or even a whole afternoon!
Many older Wu'an people who are keen on sex will even sit until the sunset, and then they will stagger around with the remaining dried fruit and snacks to walk towards their homes...
This kind of leisurely and even somewhat lazy life will only occur in an era when the technological level is similar to that of ancient times, but the society as a whole is still quite rich.
Whether it is the extremely poor and on the verge of collapse in ancient society or the busy highways, everyone is staring at money and power, and the modern society of RVs will never appear on a large scale.
Zhang Wang has no special feeling for this slow-paced lifestyle - he neither likes it nor gets tired of it.
If you are those office workers who are busy in society and are on the front line at two o'clock or above every day, you may be envious of "if you pay the same salary."
If those who work hard and always don’t satisfy their lives, always want cars, houses... After having these and want bigger houses, more savings will definitely be disdainful to the dog’s eyes.
But for a person like Zhang Wang, who is in the space of the gods, who always wants to improve his strength and get rid of the threat of his life, it seems that such a slow-paced pastime seems a bit extravagant!
But in the same way, for a perfect creature who is a blood clan, whose simple lifespan and youth have theoretically reached tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands after the bloodline of the Perfect Pillar Male... Such a slow-paced life seems a bit slow enough!
