Going to the County City, Trading at the Ghost Market! Kneel, evaluate, collect
Fortunately, Old Guo did not think too much about it.
Actually, tidying up the house and cleaning up was Xu Yi's soul from his later life. After all, he couldn't stand that kind of dirty environment.
More importantly, he knew very well that if it was too chaotic, it would easily attract rats and fleas.
Although it was still unavoidable to have fleas, it would be much more comfortable to tidy it up.
He would think of a way to kill the fleas and live a better life.
As for the Xu Lingjun from before, he was born into a wealthy family and was a bachelor. Why would he pay so much attention?
"I feel that the room is much brighter.”Guo Pian Zi said with a smile.
"I just casually tidied up." Xu Lingjun said with a smile. Actually, it wasn't much to tidy up. After all, the house was already very old.
"By the way, do you want me to buy anything for you?" I'll help you bring them from the county tomorrow. I'll ask Uncle Dong and his family later.”
"No need. We often go to the county. As for you, you never go when we ask you to.”
Guo Shanzi waved his hand, indicating that the family did not lack anything. In fact, they did not have much spare money to buy other things.
Even if he had spare money, he would only consider buying food. He would not consider anything else.
As for why Xu Lingjun didn't dare to go to the county in the past, it was all because of his status.
Earlier, when the little ghost was making a scene, the Host was really trembling. If it weren't for the protection of the team, her days would have been difficult.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Guo Pian Zi got up and went home.
The next day, Xu Lingjun woke up before dawn.
This era was like this. One had to hurry as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Guo Pian wouldn't have sent the car to his house yesterday night.
After making some preparations, Xu Lingjun drove the carriage out.
He naturally knew the way to the county.
After traveling for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the county.
The sky was almost bright, and many people were already up.
There was another reason why Xu Lingjun had come over before dawn. He wanted to go to the ghost market to take a look.
Because of the suppression of speculation, no one dared to openly engage in transactions.
They could only find a place to do some business in private when it was dark or when the sky was bright.
Before Xu Lingjun transmigrated, he had heard the elders in the village talk about these things.
Although he didn't know much about the ghost market of this era, he had heard a little about it from the old man.
However, before he went to the ghost market, he still had to drive the carriage to the factory. After all, this was the higher-level unit of the ranch, and there was a place dedicated to storing the carriage.
When they arrived at the factory, they said that they had come from the ranch. The people in the factory also recognized Guo Pian's carriage, so they naturally did not say anything.
Xu Lingjun put down the carriage and left after exchanging a few more pleasantries.
Then he wandered around the county, looking for people who were sneaking around with baskets.
As long as he followed them, he would be able to find the ghost market.
The market was divided into morning and evening markets. It was usually opened in remote places in the city or in the suburbs outside the city.
In this era, ghosts existed in almost every county. It was originally called Pigeon City. Later, due to the strict investigation by the officials, it slowly turned into this kind of ghost market.
In the past two years, in order to prevent the government from seizing the goods, they had changed from day to night trading.
The situation was slightly better now, and it was back to daytime.
Of course, there were also some at night, but it was not as lively.
After all, the people nearby had no place to rest in the city. They were more willing to come during the day and return home after the transaction.
In fact, it was true to crack down on speculation, but in this era, the people's lives were difficult due to the lack of resources.
In order to make a living, the officials turned a blind eye to the fact that the villagers used their family's things to exchange for food or barter.
Unless it was very serious or reported, the officials would only take action.
Soon, Xu Lingjun saw a village woman holding a basket.
The basket was covered with an old cloth and seemed to contain something. At the same time, it looked very careful.
Seeing this, Xu Lingjun immediately followed.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he followed the woman to an old house in the suburbs.
Apart from being remote, there was also a guard at the door.
The auntie said a few words to the burly man and went in. It seemed that the burly man knew the other party.
Xu Lingjun hesitated for a moment before walking over as well.
The big man guarding the door seemed to know that he came to the ghost market to buy something.
He didn't say anything and just stretched out his hand slightly.
Xu Lingjun immediately understood and took out ten cents from his pocket.
He naturally didn't know how much the entrance fee was, but he thought that a single cent was not a small amount.
Unexpectedly, the burly man took it and rummaged through his pockets to give him five cents.
The burly man seemed to have seen through his doubts and smiled."Is this your first time here? Don't worry, we're just helping out. Five cents isn't a small amount, and it's only once. You don't have to pay anymore in the future.”
How righteous.
As for whether the other party would recognize him in the future, it should not be a big problem. After all, it was his job.
"Thank you." Xu Lingjun nodded.”
As he spoke, he walked in. It was very spacious inside, like a small market.
There were people from the city who came to buy things, and there were also people who came out of the village to sell things.
Xu Lingjun took a look around and realized that most of the food was food and side dishes.
Xu Lingping waited for a while before finally seeing someone selling chicken and duck sprouts.
After the man set up his stall, Xu Lingjun quickly squatted down and asked,"Fellow villager, how much is one of your chicken and duck sprouts?”
The other party shook his head when he heard that he wanted to buy it with money."Only food."
This made Xu Lingjun feel a little numb.
After thinking about it, he said," I only brought money and no food, but I can add more money. What do you think?"”
The two of them chatted for a while, and in the end, Xu Lingjun paid a little more money to buy a dozen chicken and duck seedlings. He also asked the stall owner to give him a bamboo cage.
After the transaction, Xu Lingjun couldn't help but ask,"Fellow villager, do you know if anyone in this market has grain seeds? Vegetables are fine too. It would be even better if there were fruit trees!”
The old man looked at him strangely and became a little vigilant.
After all, this wasn't the season for planting.
"I'm from the ranch," Xu Lingjun hurriedly explained.”
The old man was relieved when he heard that he was from the ranch. After pondering for a moment, he said,"There are no seeds for sale in this season.”
"I mean, do you have any at home, or do you have anyone else in the village?" Xu Lingjun asked. I really want to buy some."
He also knew that the season was not right, but he did not have much time to come out. He planned to do his best to get things done.
