Chapter 160 On the Road 2
"Yes, I feel it's getting colder recently. When we get into the city, I'll ask Xiaolu to get you a thin down jacket so you can wear it under your clothes to keep warm.
We also need to prepare some warm clothes for Xiaomei and the two maids.
I can’t give them this down jacket right now. Once things settle down, I can try making this down jacket. It should sell well if I sell it.”
"Okay, your mother is afraid of the cold, so you need to prepare something for her. I don't feel that cold when I walk, but I feel a little chilly in the morning and evening."
"Then you should make sure to add more clothes in the morning and evening. It looks like you can get into the city before dark today."
"I just asked the people in the village and they said there shouldn't be any problem. Let's find a place in the city to rest tonight, and then go shopping tomorrow morning before leaving the city."
Lin Weizhong was still driving the car when he suddenly thought of something and said to Granny Tan, "Granny Tan, you drive the car. I have something to ask Uncle Liu."
"Ok."
After Lin Weizhong jumped off the mule cart, Mrs. Tan turned over and sat on it.
Lin Weizhong walked through the crowd and came to the front. He waited until Father Liu and Liu Caixia finished talking before he spoke: "Uncle Liu, I decided to buy another carriage."
Father Liu looked at him without saying anything and motioned for him to continue.
“I want this carriage, which I paid for myself, and now I can have passengers on the road, and when we get to the destination, it will be my own property.
Originally, the other members of our group didn't contribute much to these two mule carts, so they will become your family's property, Uncle Liu.
I still have a Ganoderma lucidum here, and some medicinal herbs that I had stored before. The glass cups they took out before can also be sold for some money. We also have some of those things here.
We should buy some things for ourselves. I discussed with the Fang family siblings that they were also planning to sell some things and they also supported me in buying a carriage.
Father Liu: "I originally wanted to give you a mule cart. After all, the silver you sold before was mostly confiscated and used together. You contributed more than others.
It's perfectly reasonable to give you a mule cart, but I also support you in buying a horse carriage.
It will be much more convenient to have a carriage in the future. You must learn to ride a horse in the future. It will be faster and more convenient to go out on horseback if you need anything."
"It's okay, Uncle Liu. I can take care of the carriage myself. You guys will take care of the food, drink, and toilet along the way.
You can't take advantage of anything for granted. If you want to keep a relationship for a long time, you can't be too calculative, but you can't be indifferent. Uncle Liu, don't worry. I know what's going on."
"Weizhong, I'm glad you said that. I'm not someone who doesn't care about anything. Uncle Liu knows what's going on, and he still has to figure out what needs to be figured out. Since you've made up your mind, I will definitely support you."
The closer we got to the city gate, the more pedestrians there were on the official road, some entering the city and some leaving.
When they arrived at the city gate, people from several official roads gathered together.
“Everyone, please pay attention. We are about to enter the city. After entering the city, please do not separate for the time being. Find a place to stay first. If you want to visit the county, please go and inquire about the news after you have settled down.
Ask about the night market here. If you want to go, you can go and have a look. If you don’t want to go, just rest in the inn. You will have time to go around the city tomorrow morning.”
After Liu's father finished speaking, he was the first to enter the city. The officer guarding the gate took the pass handed over by Liu's father, looked at them, and did not stop them, but let them enter the city directly.
Of course, Liu's father always smuggled some change to give to the gatekeepers. Previously, they had to collect an entrance fee, but this time they didn't collect any entrance fee, and no one knew why.
This saved them a lot of money. There were quite a few of them in their group, and they had to pay several hundred coins each time to enter the city.
Liu Caixia: "Dad, this county town looks better, and they don't charge a city entrance fee, which proves that the government doesn't lack this little bit of money. The tax revenue should be good in all aspects, and the income from other aspects should be not small, so they don't care about this little thing."
"Although the public security seems to be much better, we still can't be careless. Life is not easy these days. It's only slightly better here. When you go into the city, keep an eye on your children. Don't act alone."
There were still many pedestrians on the streets in the evening, many of whom were carrying loads on their shoulders. The loads were probably filled with things to sell. Some of the loads were empty, while some still had some left.
Those with empty baskets hurried out of the city, while those who had not yet sold all their vegetables shouted as they walked, "The last of these vegetables grown at home, selling at a low price..."
Because there were so many people in their group, they attracted a lot of attention after entering the city.
Father Liu felt that it was inconvenient to move with too many people, so he divided their team into two groups: "Lao Luo, you lead one group of people, the ones who had breakfast with you this morning, and the rest will come with us. Just don't gather together and follow one in front and one behind. First, find an inn to stay in and get some information in the inn."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and we'll just follow behind you. There are still some open shops on both sides of the street. Let's walk slowly and take a look at the situation outside."
Father Liu was walking in the front, and there were two young men who looked like they were from the city. They walked slowly and were not in a hurry to leave the city. Father Liu politely stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, sir, could you please recommend an inn in the city to us?"
One of the men replied politely, “You’re welcome. There are many inns in the city, and there are two on this street. This street is the central area, and there are many inns on the east and west sides. The two inns on this street are a little more expensive, but they have a good location and are well-informed.
If your financial situation allows, living here is definitely more convenient and safer.
If you want to stay cheaper, I recommend the inns in East City. They are a bit more expensive than those in West City, but most of the people who stay there are ordinary people, and their families are relatively wealthy. There are more people from all walks of life in West City, and the environment is much more complicated. ”
The man gave a very detailed introduction, and Liu's father thanked him following ancient etiquette.
He led them forward and said, "Then let's just stay on the street. It's only for one night and it won't save much money."
Mr. Liu’s philosophy is that you should save whatever you can and not mistreat yourself. Money is earned, and you can’t get rich by saving money.
Liu Caixia and the people around her had no objections. Everyone wanted to live better and safer. They didn't want to experience the sinister nature of people in this era and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
