After the family finished breakfast, thinking that they had nothing to do today, they decided to take the children for a stroll around Yaozhou City, since they couldn't have come all this way for nothing.
Tian Bu'er prepared the carriage, and after Lin Zao and Tang Jian carried the children onto the carriage, the group headed towards the busiest street in Yaozhou.
Despite the prevalence of natural disasters these days, the wealthy and powerful still enjoy ample food and clothing and indulge in lavish feasts.
There's no shortage of lively places everywhere.
They arrived at Tianhua Street, a famous street in Yaozhou City. It is said that many traveling merchants from other places would come here to buy goods in bulk to take back home.
Gradually, this place evolved into a large market where everything was available in large quantities and at low prices, and there was never a shortage of people looking for their fortune.
According to Zhao Linzao, this market is somewhat similar to a modern wholesale market.
Drive the carriage to the designated parking area and leave a coachman to guard it.
The rest of Lin Zao's family, along with Tian Bu'er and Eleven, began walking along Tianhua Street.
Since Ya Ya and Hu Tou were still small, and they were afraid of being jostled by others, Tang Jian and Tian Bu Er carried them.
As for Lin Zao, she held Chen Wen and Ma Qingping's hands tightly.
The market offers a wide variety of goods, including silk fabrics, wine, pastries, tea, porcelain, live and dried fish, copperware, woodenware, and cooked food, all with distinctive Yao characteristics.
The children were dazzled by what they saw.
The group entered a silk shop, where there were bolts of exquisite silk in various colors. Unlike the clothing shop they had visited yesterday, this shop only sold satin fabric.
These are all handmade, 100% genuine silk.
They are of good quality and can be stored for a long time. It would be great to buy more to take back to Ganzhou as gifts.
Lin Zao picked out many beautiful patterns and bought dozens of bolts of silk. She didn't need to carry them herself; she just had the shopkeeper deliver them to her door.
When we arrived at the pastry shop, it became a private gathering for the children.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya are just as good as Linzao. We asked the shopkeeper to pack one of each to take home and try. If they are delicious, we will come back later to buy more to take back to Ganzhou for our friends, their little Bao brother.
Although each item only comes in a small package, there are dozens of items in total, so it adds up to quite a lot.
Fortunately, there are many people in the mansion, so they can be given as rewards to the maids and servants without worrying about waste.
Tang Jian bought a lot of wine and tea; as expected, men still like these things.
The family strolled from one end of Tianhua Street to the other, each buying a lot of things. They had the shops deliver the larger items, and carried the smaller ones themselves.
By the time we finished walking the whole street, it was already past 13:00-15:00.
They weren't hungry either, since there were all sorts of food sold on this street. With these kids around, they ate as they walked, and their stomachs were never empty.
Just as the group was about to head back, suddenly everyone around them started walking in one direction.
"I heard a new batch of goods just arrived, let's go take a look."
"We can't miss this bi-weekly market, let's hurry up and go."
"Hehe, I'm going to buy a few girls to take home and have some fun today."
······
Lin Zao and Tang Jian exchanged a glance, both curious about this horse market. Seeing that they were both interested, they decided to go and take a look.
So the group followed those people and went around to the end of the street. There was an archway, and after passing through the archway, they found themselves in a huge open-air space.
There was only one tall wooden platform on the ground, surrounded by a large crowd, making it very noisy.
Many slaves, men, women, and children, stood on the wooden platform.
