Chapter 108 Shopping

Time flies, and another night passes.

Although all the seriously ill men still seemed to have a little sluggish, they were all able to walk freely. Those who were milder were no different from ordinary people. Therefore, at dawn, under the scolding of supervisors and soldiers, the road that had been suspended for a few days started again.

"Do you remember the name, style and properties of these medicines?" Chen Xu placed seven or eight kinds of grassroots vines in front of him, and explained them carefully to Yibu and three apprentices.

"Thank you, my little brother, I have memorized it!" Yi Bu and his apprentice bowed together.

"That's good. You collect more herbs on weekdays, slice them and dry them for later use. Once symptoms of summer plague and diarrhea occur, treat them quickly and not neglect them. You should prepare more trauma medicines. Prepare more clean linen cloths, wash them thoroughly and dry them for bandaging the wounds. Remember not to use soil to cover them. Also, this Houttuynia cordata is a good medicine for clearing heat. It is everywhere in the wasteland. You can let the people boil water every day, and then chew them after washing them..."

Chen Xu once again warned him for a long time, and explained in detail all the daily dietary hygiene and first aid knowledge that he could think of in the future, and then he got on the carriage and left with Jiangbeiting.

In such an era, you can only do your best. As for what they can do, only God knows, because under such heavy labor and you can't even eat enough, it's nonsense to say that you are healthy and hygienic. You can only pray that these people can live a strong life and can survive three months and go home alive.

Wancheng, the location of Nanyang County and the county government, is Wancheng District, Nanyang City in later generations.

A towering city rose from the river and was surrounded by fields, with vendors driving horses and cattle from south to north. From time to time, there were postmen passing messages galloping along the wide avenue and rushed into the city gate. Around the city, there were large areas of farmland rolling in wheat waves, and countless farmers were harvesting summer grain, many of which were already using hand-crank threshers.

Seeing a group of soldiers guarding the carriage, the soldiers at the city gate did not stop them, and even bowed with fists. This made Chen Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, feel deeply moved. The treatment of this VIP is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

After entering the city, he looked at Chen Xu sitting in the carriage and looking around with a novelty. Jiangbeiting thought that Chen Xu was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world in the small river village, so he smiled and said, "Wancheng is the hinterland of the Central Plains, a place where merchants gather in the east, west, south and north, so it is a hundred times more prosperous than Zhi County. However, it is much worse than the capital Xianyang. If you can follow me to see the world in Xianyang in the future, that is called prosperity and prosperity!"

Chen Xu curled his lips slightly, but he still quickly thanked him.

He naturally had never seen Wancheng and Xianyang more than two thousand years ago, so it is reasonable to say that he had never seen the world, so it would be better to say that he could definitely spit Jiang Beiting's face.

I have seen you in later generations and you can't even imagine it if you want to break your brain.

Have you seen cars? Have you seen planes? Have you seen ships? Have you seen skyscrapers? Have you seen uncensored movies without clothes?

Have you been to Europe? Humph, I haven’t been to it either!

Chen Xu looked around while walking.

However, big cities are big cities, so they are naturally not the same as Chi County and Qinghe Town. In terms of the number of people alone, they can crush a prosperous county-level city in the later generations. The streets are crowded with people, and most of the clothes worn by everyone are neat and clean. Although there are also ragged beggars, they are only a few after all.

Walking along the Central Street, Chen Xu slowly discovered one thing, that is, the shops are very rare, and occasionally they see shops selling grain, salt, pottery and linen. Even shops that sell daily necessities such as clothes, shoes and hats are almost impossible to see, and there are no other ones. There are no real restaurants and restaurants, and there are even fewer inns that specialize in accommodation. At most, there are some houses living in seclusion in alleys and alleys. They are part-time accommodation and meal services, called foot houses, which means a place to rest.

The group of people turned around in the city and finally stopped in a remote street. There was a yard here. There was two small seal script characters hanging on the gate of the post house. It was more than 100 square meters wide and there was a two-story wooden building. There were several carriages parked in the yard and several horses tied to the stables.

"Nephew, I'll stay in Wancheng for one day today. I'll go to see the county magistrate asking for food for the people. You can also watch and have fun in the city. We will go back to Zhi County tomorrow morning!"

After a group of people entered, the soldiers in the post house quickly came up to lead the horses, and the soldiers accompanying them quickly packed up the horses and carriages. After Jiangbeiting gave Chen Xu a reminder, he took two soldiers to leave on horseback and went to the county government to pay homage to the county magistrate.

"Chen Lidian, do you want me to accompany you to the city?"

As soon as Jiangbeiting left, the remaining soldiers immediately became energetic. They seemed to be exhausted all the way and asked enthusiastically around Chen Xu.

"Of course I have to go around, let's go!" Chen Xu slightly tidied up his hair and clothes, and walked out of the inn with the four soldiers.

When I first came to an ancient big city, I naturally had to take a good look and see how the ancients lived in the city more than two thousand years ago.

The streets were bustling with people, including those who were riding horses, those who were pushing carts, and those who were holding various accents came and went in a constant stream.

Chen Xu was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of big shorts and pigskin sandals. His outfit was out of place with everyone around him and looked extremely weird.

This set of clothes explains to Jiang Beiting that summer is cool. In fact, the most important thing is to be easy to put on and take off. There is neither a belt nor a button, and it is ventilated up and down. The air blows in from the two warehouse tubes. The balls and chrysanthemums are comfortable and thorough because they are not wearing underwear at all.

There are not many shops on the street, and Chen Xu walked in with interest. However, these shops are not only furnished, but also have extremely few goods. The salt sells nothing but a few sacks of coarse salt. The shops sell pottery have a little more varieties of goods, but they are also coarse ceramic products, mainly clay bowls, pottery basins and pottery jars. The shapes of the utensils are more diverse, and they are all daily necessities, similar to those seen in Qinghe Town, and the price is also cheap, usually a few to more than ten yuan.

The only wooden shop that Chen Xu loved was the only one that was eye-catching. There were a lot of bamboo and wood products, including bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates, as well as some pen holders, pen holders, and a large number of woven bamboo slips. He was surprised that he even saw a few pieces of paper, which made him overjoyed.

These papers are thick and yellow in color, with a rough surface, and are thicker, which is worse than the paper money burned to death in later generations. When they pick them up and shake them gently, the dust will fall down like dandruff.

I'll go! Chen Xu was stunned.
