(No system, no cheat, no troublesome relatives, no CP.) Li Yu was very capable. Her childhood spent as a 'left-behind child' made her yearn more for home and a life of financial freedom. La...
Li Yu had never walked so much in her life! Really, she felt numb all over.
From when the sun has not yet risen to when the sun is shining in the sky.
Although she also lived in the village when she was a child, she had never walked so far to go to the city at that time.
Li Yu felt herself getting more and more tired, and she really wanted to sit down for a while. She could see that the eldest brother and the fourth brother were trying to accommodate her, so they didn't walk very fast. But this was also her limit, and her legs were almost no longer her own.
Just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, she finally saw the true face of Qingyan Town.
Qingyan Town is a town full of historical charm, with a simple and solemn appearance.
The stone buildings are staggered and the antique buildings complement each other. These buildings are not only exquisitely designed, but also exquisitely crafted, showing the charm of the ancient town.
Most of the houses in the town are made of slate, and stone walls, stone archways and stone streets can be seen everywhere.
These stone houses appear more quaint with the passage of time, as if telling a story of ancient history.
As expected, it is the only town within a ten-mile radius. Today is probably the market day, so there are many vendors on the streets.
To be honest, it was not until this moment that Li Yu truly felt that he was in ancient times, in a time and space completely different from the modern times. Li Yu seemed to have walked into the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
After entering the city, Li Yu let the eldest and the fourth brother go shopping on their own. She gave each of them ten copper coins to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.
Most of the money in the house was kept by the original owner. To be honest, the children have hardly ever touched more than 10 yuan in their lives. You can imagine how surprised these two people were.
Their mother was not usually so generous, and the family did not have much money for them to spend. In fact, it was painful to give each of them ten cents for Li Yu.
When she came out, she searched the house thoroughly and only found 100 coins, which was almost all the family's belongings. How could she not feel bad when she was given 20 coins?
There was no other way. Seeing his little daughter unable to walk after seeing the hair flower stall, Li Yu couldn't help but turn a blind eye.
After thinking about it, she thought, "20 cents is fine. I'll find a way to make money." After the brother and sister left, Li Yu slowly started to turn around.
She wanted to explore and see if there were any business opportunities to make money. Other time-traveling heroines could just casually go into a restaurant and sell a recipe or something.
Li Yu also thought about it. She used to be an online writer and had written novels about food. She still remembered a few recipes.
Then I thought again, that wouldn't work. Not to mention whether what you wrote is correct, it's hard to say whether those seasonings exist in this era.
Also, she didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Maybe they had these dishes a long time ago, and she didn't want to be caught as a monster.
For example, if a peasant woman doesn't have any seasoning and you just tell her what to do, or if you just tell her the recipe for their restaurant's signature dish, this will not only make you money, but will also bring disaster.
Forget it, there is no free lunch in the world, so don’t hope for luck. Her luck doesn’t seem like that of a chosen heroine.
Just thinking as I walked.
The streets are neat and tidy, there are soldiers guarding the city gates, and there are even patrols on the streets. People from the surrounding villages come here to buy and sell things.
The farmers have a wide variety of vegetables and fruits produced by themselves, fish caught in the river, chickens and ducks raised at home, etc. This shows that the person in power pays great attention to the quality of life of the people.
Moreover, the country was founded only 10 years ago. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that if the living standards of the people in this town are like this, then other towns will certainly not be bad. Moreover, Qingyan Town is so far away from the capital of this country, basically one is in the south and the other is in the north.
The quality of life of people in small towns far from the capital is not bad, so those close to the capital will only be better.
It seemed that this emperor was really a good emperor who worked for the benefit of the people, and Li Yu felt relieved.
I'm afraid of the chaotic world! Today I have to flee from famine, tomorrow I have to be conscripted, and the day after tomorrow I have to increase taxes. As a modern person, I really can't afford it⊙﹏⊙
Li Yu was a man with a good mindset. He thought that since he couldn't make a fortune, he might as well set up a small stall to make some money.
But she was puzzled about what to sell. There were all kinds of things for sale on this street, no worse than the modern morning market.
After walking and stopping for a while, Li Yu still had no good ideas.
Just as she passed by a study, two young men came out and were excitedly discussing something. Li Yu stood there and listened.
One of the tall and thin young men said to the fat boy next to him, "Master Shui Mo Sheng has released a new work. Hurry home and get some money to buy it. If more people know about it, we won't be able to get it. Hurry home and get some money."
The other one nodded as he walked, indicating that he agreed with what he said. Neither of them noticed Li Yu and left in a hurry.
Li Yu was very curious. Great God? Was this the Great God she was thinking of? She had to find out.
Thinking this in his mind, Li Yu walked straight into the bookstore called "Yunshang Bookstore".
From the moment Li Yu entered the bookstore, many people were looking at her, especially the bookstore clerk, who kept staring at Li Yu.
I probably didn't expect that an old lady dressed in rags would come to the bookstore. It was really strange.
Li Yu ignored those who were looking at her and just browsed around. The bookstore was bigger than she had imagined.
There are two levels. Because the new country was established not long ago, the country lacks a large number of talents. There are many scholars and their status is also very high.
So the first floor is basically filled with books about the imperial examinations and enlightenment books, as well as policy essays and test questions from previous imperial examination masters. In short, the variety is very rich.
There are many kinds of books on the second floor, including picture books, miscellaneous notes, humanities and landscapes, and even erotica.
It can be seen that this dynasty was very tolerant of the diversity of books.
