132, Real World 09

Yu Heng didn't sleep all night. At dawn, he led people to walk in the forest and picked a lot of things, including fruits, wild vegetables and some mountain products.

They were all new things. It was the first time for everyone to see them. Yu Heng led the way to eat them. Only when there was no problem did they dare to eat them.

"There's not even a little rabbit."

"Aren't you full of meat?"

"Then meat is more filling, hahaha."

"I didn't expect that these small fruits are also delicious and sweet."

After eating a vegetarian breakfast, they started today's work.

Yu Heng's suggestion was: "Let's pick some fruits and vegetables and continue to move forward. When we get to the next city, we can set up a stall and it won't be conspicuous."

"How can we carry them? We don't have a car."

"Just make some baskets, and everyone can carry one."

He has already seen a vine plant that can be used as a weaving material, and he can pick it now.

Yu Jia and Cui Nan were both familiar with weaving, and some of the others knew the craft, so they taught each other and soon everyone had a basket half a person high on their backs.

As they walked, they picked whatever they could use.

There were more people on the trade road during the day, and today they met a camel team, with bells ringing from afar, full of exotic charm.

They were a group of about 60 people carrying rattan baskets on their backs and walking on the edge of the wide trade road, which was quite spectacular, comparable to a small or medium-sized caravan.

Some people actually thought they were also a caravan, but when they came over, they saw that there was nothing, but the fruits and vegetables they brought were quite fresh. They also bought some.

This made everyone very excited, and they surrounded Yu Heng: "Boss, let me see it too."

It was Yu Heng who negotiated with those people just now, using the real Wei language, word by word, and finally sold nearly one-third of the fruits and vegetables and received two shells.

Because he didn't understand the market and local customs, Yu Heng took whatever the other party gave. Judging from the man's expression, he must have lost money.

"Is this shell the universal currency here?"

"It's pretty!"

"Hey, let me touch it too."

This business made everyone feel at ease and they really felt a sense of belonging.

"We can pick more!"

The two shells were collected by Yu Heng. This was their first pot of gold~

Even if they knew the prices here and knew that the purchasing power of these two shells was about the same as two cents in their hometown, they could not eliminate the excitement and joy at that time.

A few days after they left, a major event happened in Beicang City. The Tu family's industry in Beicang City - the largest wild slaughterhouse was attacked, and all the family members who were on guard were killed.

The head of the Tu family was furious and mobilized his connections to investigate vigorously.

At that time, Yu Heng and his friends were already far away in another city, and they were still listening to the merchants talking about this in the teahouse, which made everyone a little scared.

"What should we do?"

"Use the real Wei language, don't speak your mother tongue." Yu Heng reminded in a low voice.

Xu Yuman bit her lip and asked in unfamiliar Zhenwei language: "What should we do?"

Yu Heng shook his head: "Nothing can be done, let's keep going."

"Then, will the people on the other side of the wall be discovered?"

"If they leave and hide in the woods, they may not be discovered?"

These are all things that have been analyzed thoroughly before leaving. It depends on what the people who stay there choose.

But according to Yu Heng, there must be danger inside. Three groups of people inside were killed by them. How could the Tu family not find anything unusual?

They will definitely send people in again.

And after learning Zhenwei language for a while, Yu Heng got some information from the people around him who had been captured: when they were captured, they often heard the butchers talking. Some sentences and words were not understood at the time, but some high-frequency words were remembered.

"Demon cultivator... Inner elixir..."

This is the most common word among the butchers, and they stare at people's stomachs while speaking.

Yu Heng was a little worried after translating the words.

Why did the Tu family mistake them for demon cultivators when they entered the forest? And they wanted to dig out their inner elixir? But in the outside world, it was so dangerous.

Unable to ask directly, Yu Heng could only think of staying as far away as possible.

Those who stayed in the forest, the captured foreigners... I couldn't do anything, I could only wish them safety in my heart.

After three days of eating and sleeping in the open, a group of people were still on the business road.

Today they came across a teahouse, and after hearing some news, Yu Heng went in to understand the prices.

Among all people, he learned Zhenwei language the fastest and best, and now he can hear daily conversations and have daily exchanges.

As a result, it was this time that Yu Heng learned the price level of this place.

The shells in his hand are called shell coins in Zhenwei language, which is the lowest currency.

"I need five bone coins for a pot of tea here~"

Ten shell coins can be exchanged for one bone coin.

In addition to shell coins and bone coins, there are also crystal coins. One hundred bone coins can be exchanged for one crystal coin.

Yu Heng smiled bitterly: "Thank you, sister. We are from the mountains. We have never seen money in the mountains. I didn't expect to be..."

He knew he was losing money, but he didn't know it was so much!

The proprietress looked at him sympathetically: "It's so pitiful. When you come out of the mountains, you should first find out the prices outside. You sold so many things and only got two shell coins. You were ripped off!"

"Thank you so much. These are the fruits and vegetables we just picked. Let me add a dish for you."

Yu Heng gave a basket of fruits and vegetables to the boss lady. The boss lady was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the rustic mountain people in the village would be so kind. She laughed immediately:

"Oh, you are too polite!"

Then she was surprised by the delicately woven basket: "This basket is woven very well. It's expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive. We woven it ourselves. Look, it's made of vines that are common on the roadside."

"Wow, it's amazing and beautiful."

Yu Heng walked out and asked someone to bring in seven more baskets, and gave them all to the boss lady: "Make eight baskets, I wish you a prosperous business."

This flattery made the boss lady very happy. She asked the waiter to send a large pot of tea to Yu Heng's companions outside: "Home-made tea, cool off! Don't be polite to drink some."

So when Yu Heng came out of the teahouse, everyone had a belly full of tea.

"Why did it take so long?"

Everyone was sitting under a big tree to cool off. Seeing Yu Heng coming out, they hurried to ask him.

Yu Heng said: "We chatted for a while and asked the boss lady about the currency exchange here."

He told her what he had found out.

"Then we only have two shell coins now, and we can only buy one candy at most?"

"Yes. I have calculated carefully. Shell coins are not valuable. One bone coin can buy a vegetarian steamed bun. One or two hundred crystal coins can buy a horse or a cow and still have more than ten bone coins left. I heard that our fruits and vegetables are quite easy to sell. In the future, one pound of fruit will sell for three bone coins, and one pound of wild vegetables will sell for four bone coins. We will adjust according to the actual situation!"

"Okay!"

Yu Heng said again: "I asked the boss lady. If we go further along this trade road, there will be a city called Beiyun City."

"Wow, that's great!"

"Then we have to stock up some goods quickly."

"Not too much, otherwise it will go bad."

"How about stocking some that are easy to store and not easy to go bad?"

Those who have been calculating have already started to calculate. Yu Heng shouted: "Pack up and leave after you have rested enough."

He saw it but didn't care. When they arrived at Beiyun City, many of the forty people would definitely leave.

As expected, they picked more wild fruits, most of which were raw, and also dug bamboo shoots and other mountain products. Everyone's backpack was full.

When they arrived at Beiyun City, they had to pay the entrance fee.

This made everyone a little anxious. Yu Heng said, "Let's set up a stall outside the city gate first to see if we can sell a little."

This Beiyun City is very large, with towering walls and arrow towers standing in rows, shining with iron.

It can be seen that the defense is heavy.

There are many people setting up stalls outside the city gate. Yu Heng took the initiative to find those people to communicate. He knew that they were also residents of the nearby mountains and came to the city to sell specialties.

Their Zhenwei language was not standard, with a strong accent. Yu Heng needed to use [full language compilation] to translate from time to time in order to communicate.

"The entrance fee is two bone coins! You can sell it casually."

Yu Heng also asked about the situation in the city. He said shyly: "Our home is too remote. This is my first time in the city. I was cheated when I was selling fruits on the road a few days ago. Will the city also bully us mountain people?"

The simple uncle hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You have to be brave and have the courage and guts of the mountains! I tell you, the city is not scary... Look, for example, when I sell these rice, I will go to the rice shop to check the rice price first, so that If you sell it with your hands, you won't be cheated! If someone wants to bully you, just shout and cry. Beiyun City has strict management. As long as you pay taxes, the patrol officer will support you and do justice. "

After that, he patted Yu Heng's shoulder and said, "I see there are a lot of people over there, so there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't make trouble, you will be able to sell it safely and at a good price."

This speech can be said to be sincere and is the experience summary of the simple mountain farmers. Yu Heng nodded with emotion: "Thank you, thank you uncle." Let him taste the fruit he sold himself.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, you still want to sell it."

In the end, Yu Heng forced a few of them to him: "Quench your thirst."

After that, he also asked about the household registration issue that he had always been concerned about. Unexpectedly, the uncle said in surprise: "What is that?"

Forget it, they don't have household registration either, so there's no need to panic.

There were a lot of people in Beiyun City. When they arrived, it was just the time when the city gates were opened in the morning. There were a lot of people queuing up. The sun was shining and they were sweating. The fruits of Yu Heng and his friends were sour and sweet and quenched their thirst. They sold well. Yu Heng simply sold them by size. Each one was not particularly big, and he sold one for two shell coins. The sales were very good.

Everyone opened a stall and sold enough to pay the entrance fee.

Near noon, they finally all entered the city.

Beicang City was prosperous, and Beiyun City was even more prosperous. Shops were lined up one after another, and stalls were crowded and full.

Unlike the free-range state of Beicang City, Beiyun City was managed in a very standardized manner. When entering the city, there were patrol officers to guide them to the market, and by the way, they applied for stall permits and paid a bone coin. Everyone got a wooden sign as a certificate.

They set up the lowest-level stalls - open space, so they had to sit on the ground and there was no shelter.

Yu Heng and his friends all wore their own woven rattan hats. They couldn't stand the heat, so they put leaves on their heads to cover up a little.

There were a lot of vendors here, for example, those selling vegetables and fruits, the competition was fierce. Moreover, the fruits and vegetables were grown by themselves, so they looked better, and therefore had better business.

There was no other way, so Yu Heng and his friends had to lower the price, selling fruits for only nine Beibi per pound and wild vegetables for only five Beibi per pound, and only then did they get a little more business.

"Is this edible?" A housewife turned over the wild vegetables and frowned, questioning: "Is it poisonous? You can't just pick some random things and sell them."

Lin Minglei stuttered in Zhenwei language: "No, no, it's really edible, edible."

The housewife frowned even more: "Are you feeling guilty? Forget it, I won't buy it."

Lin Minglei was so anxious that he couldn't say anything and had to watch the customer leave.

"Alas."

Dong Jianlan comforted him: "Don't worry, you will stutter more when you are anxious."

"Oh, I know." Lin Minglei looked at Yu Heng next door with envy, who had made another deal there.

"I have to work hard to learn Zhenwei language!"
