Six large courtyards are enough to accommodate so many of them. There are still two people per room, and a large courtyard can accommodate about twenty people.

Mr. Zhuang lived alone. He wanted to watch Bai Shan and others do their homework, so he lived in the same courtyard with them. Wei Xingren and others were separated from them and lived in the main courtyard of another courtyard.

Manbao and the others were very excited and did not want to live in the main courtyard, so they lived directly on the second floor.

It's summer now. Although it's a little cool at night, it's not very cold. It's a little hot at noon, but you don't feel it when you're in the house or by the lake. So you can wash and shower in the bathroom of your own house, just open the window.

Seeing the lake view, if Mr. Zhuang didn't want to climb up and down the stairs, he would have lived with him on the fourth floor.

Daji walked around and saw that the fourth room in the attic was occupied by Changshou and Xiyu, so he obediently went downstairs and lived downstairs with a guard.

Bai Shan was talking to Master You, "...We will stay here for about twenty days. Should Master You wait for us, or go ahead?"

He knew they were casual when they were crossing the grassland together, but he didn't expect them to be so casual that they could decide to stay in one place for twenty days at will.

By the way, aren’t you officials?

Aren't you in a hurry to report?

Master You was crying in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "It just so happens that a few days ago, my man was seriously frightened, and his injuries were not all bad. This time, he can just recover from his injuries and calm down."

However, Mr. You did not rent a big yard, but rented a small yard where he could put all his goods down and everyone could still fit in if they squeezed in.

It's not that he's not in a hurry, but he doesn't dare to rush at this time.

He smelled the same smell as those horse thieves from the group of people he met at the inn two days ago.

Even if those people are not thieves, they are not people to be trifled with.

I just listened to their discussion on the street. This area has not been very peaceful recently. The spread of the smallpox epidemic in Xiazhou has changed. Who knows what kind of chaos is happening outside?

He was eager to go to Yumen Pass to make money, but he also cherished his life.

So he took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, smiled at Bai Shan and said, "I'll have to trouble the adults in the rest of the time."

Bai Shan naturally said that there was no problem. It would be useful for Mr. You to follow the team, at least he knew the way.

After the meal, the group followed the young man to visit his mother and sister-in-law, mainly to see their cooking skills.

Man Bao tasted it and found that the craftsmanship was okay, but it was just okay.

Seeing that they seemed dissatisfied, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, my mother and sister-in-law are cheap. They only need two hundred coins each. They will cook for you no matter whether you stay for twenty days or a month."

He added: "They know how to buy cheap and good food, and they won't lie to people, really!"

Bai Shan chuckled lightly, nodded and said, "In that case, just stay."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Shan asked: "You can't make a living solely on passing merchants, right? If there are fewer customers, what will you do for a living?"

"It's all about farming and grazing," the young man said after finding a job for his mother and sister-in-law, who was happy and knew everything. "We grow a lot of fruits and the merchants passing by like them. If they don't buy them, we will have someone else."

Collect it and send it to Suzhou City, or to Liangzhou City, there are many people there, and someone will buy it."

"We also grow highland barley and wheat, but if we don't have money, it will be difficult for us to pay taxes. There is not enough highland barley and wheat to eat."

Bai Shan nodded slightly, knowing that they still had to buy rice, flour and food from outside.

After coming out of the young man's house, Bai Shan stood by the lake and looked down. He happened to see a fish passing by his eyes quickly and cleverly. He sighed: "This is really a good place."

The young man nodded with deep understanding, "Many people envy us. We have a big lake, which they cannot envy."

At the same time, Keke in Manbao's mind dinged, "Unrecorded organisms detected..."

After a ding-ding-dong-dong sound, Manbao squatted down, stared at the lake and asked, "Can the fish in it be hunted?"

The young man said: "You can't catch fish, but you can fish. Only people in small towns can catch fish, but not everyone can."

Not to mention fishing, they can't even get water at will. They need to buy water from others, but the town does not stop tourists from fishing, as long as they can catch it.

Man Bao nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Where do you usually sell your live fish?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and then pointed in a direction and said: "But it is difficult to buy because there are few fish and many people. Generally, the caught fish must be sent to a few big men first, and then to several larger restaurants.

Use it, and finally sell it for takeout."

Man Bao smiled, that must be because there is not enough money. As long as you spend enough money, who can't be in the front?

Bai Shan also lowered his eyes and glanced at the bottom of the lake again, and asked the young man to take them to buy fishing gear, and then walked along the shops in the town's streets.

Bai Shan said to him: "Let your mother and sister-in-law come over early tomorrow morning. I have a steward here. Just follow his instructions."

This kind of thing, even the matter of hiring a cook, was not something they should have personally dealt with. It was just that they wanted to take a walk and learn more from the young man, so they went along with him.

By the time they wandered back, the sun had already set, but it was getting dark slowly in the desert. Even though it was almost the time when they went to bed to get ready for sleep, it was still dimly light at this time.

Within half a day, the residents of the town all knew that guests were coming to the town. Unlike ordinary merchants, the guests who came this time were on a study tour. Although they would stay in the town for a long time, they would not

Restock.

But they were generous. I heard that even the accompanying guards could live in the large courtyard of the inn, so they were very wealthy.

I also heard that they bought a lot of melons at the street corner. What does this mean?

It means these people have too much money and are stupid.

So when they wandered to the yard where they lived, they found that there were many stalls on the side near the lake opposite the door, selling everything, among which the ones selling melons and fruits were the most popular.

Man Bao was very happy and went to see those small goods. She pulled out a particularly beautiful stone from a stall, and Bai Shan was surprised and asked: "Does this stone look like a mountain?"

Bai Shan looked at it, stretched out his hand to touch it, nodded and said, "Like!"

"It's so beautiful." Man Bao touched it again and again and couldn't help but ask the vendor, "How much does this cost?"

The other person held out two fingers.

Man Bao's eyes brightened slightly, "Twenty Wen?"

Vendor: "...Twenty taels." He originally wanted to shout twenty taels, but who knew that the price she shouted was so different from his expectation?

Man Bao put down the stone as soon as she heard this, with a look of regret on her face. The price was also too high for her psychological price, so she didn't even negotiate the price and took Bai Shan away.
