Feng Jiuyan was walking leisurely on the street, carrying a cross-body cloth bag.
Qinglong Town is divided into East Market and West Market.
The goods sold in the East Market are mostly precious treasures from all over the world, while those sold in the West Market are mostly food, clothing, housing and transportation.
At this moment, Feng Jiuyan was in the West Market.
Strictly speaking, this was her first time walking around an ancient street.
She looked with curiosity at the little things being sold on the street. There were snack stalls, rouge and powder stalls, small stalls selling ready-made clothes, and stalls selling low-quality jewelry and jade.
Not far away, there were people performing the act of crushing rocks with their chests and breathing fire from their mouths.
She had seen these scenes on TV, but they were far less shocking than what she experienced directly.
Everything is new to her.
Although not as good as modern times, the Great Yan Dynasty was still prosperous and powerful, and Qinglong Town was at the feet of the emperor, so it naturally developed very well.
Thinking that his actions might arouse suspicion, Feng Jiuyan decided to disguise himself first.
She first found a remote and deserted corner, and after making sure that there was no one around, she slipped into the space. Then, she disguised herself with cosmetics and changed into men's clothes.
In a short while, she changed from a pretty girl into an ordinary-looking man.
She had a clear goal. She first found the restaurant with the best reputation and was the largest in Qinglong Town and walked in.
She wanted to stock up on some food. Although there was still plenty of space, she didn't want to spend all her money.
It was dinner time, but not many people were eating.
Because most of the townspeople went home for dinner, there were not many people eating in this restaurant at this time.
The waiter saw a customer coming and hurried over to greet him, "Sir, how many are you?"
Feng Jiuyan said in a hoarse voice, "Please ask your shopkeeper to come out. We have a big deal to do."
The waiter looked Feng Jiuyan up and down. He was wearing a blue shirt made of what appeared to be fine fabric. He did not look like a nobleman, so he must be a servant of a nobleman.
Thinking of this, he immediately went to the back hall to find the shopkeeper.
"Boss, a servant said he wanted to do a big deal."
The shopkeeper, who was dozing off in the rocking chair, was startled when he heard this. "Big deal? Hurry up and invite someone in!"
"Okay." The waiter ran out, grinning, "Sir, please come in."
Feng Jiuyan walked in confidently, and the shopkeeper immediately came over to greet her, "Sir, please take a seat."
She nodded and sat down. The shopkeeper immediately poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Please have some tea."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, what would you like?"
Feng Jiuyan picked up the teacup with her slender white fingers, took a sip slowly, and then opened her lips and said, "What special dishes are there? Bring me a menu."
The shopkeeper handed Feng Jiuyan the menu that had been prepared long ago. Feng Jiuyan glanced at it and listed a series of dishes, which made the shopkeeper's wrinkled face smile like a chrysanthemum.
After announcing the names of the dishes, Feng Jiuyan glanced at the shopkeeper and asked, "Does your restaurant have any special dishes?"
"Yes, yes. Five-flavor apricot cheese goose, white-cut goose, five-flavor roasted chicken..."
The shopkeeper named a few dishes, and Feng Jiuyan nodded, very generously, "Give me five servings of each. Pack up all the dishes and take them away. This is the deposit. The only requirement is that you hurry! Come and pick up the dishes at 15:00."
The shopkeeper held the twenty taels of silver in his hand and smiled from ear to ear, "Great!"
Feng Jiuyan nodded and immediately left the restaurant. Afterwards, he rushed to the market where means of transportation were sold.
There were several vendors selling things, some using carts, some using horse-drawn carts, some using ox-drawn carts, and some using donkey-drawn carts.
Feng Jiuyan spotted a donkey from a distance.
The donkey is black in color, with strong limbs and two big eyes surrounded by a circle of white hair. In addition, the most special thing is the circle of white hair between its eyebrows.
From a distance, it is very eye-catching.
Feng Jiuyan walked up to the vendor and asked, "Boss, how much is this donkey?"
The small vendor started selling donkeys in the morning, but no one asked about his business the whole day passed. He was just about to close the stall and go home, but he didn't expect that some business would come to his door.
He quickly looked Feng Jiuyan up and down, and immediately put on a brilliant smile, "Sir, you have a good eye. This donkey is the best among all the donkeys. Look at its hair, which is smooth and shiny, its limbs are strong, and its endurance is excellent. Sir, this donkey only costs eight taels of silver. If you buy it, you won't suffer a loss or be cheated. Don't miss it if you pass by it."
Feng Jiuyan discovered that every time the vendor praised the donkey, it became more proud. Its eyes were filled with pride, its head held high, and it looked extremely arrogant.
Thinking that the vendor hadn't said a word about the donkey's temper, she began to have some idea.
Feng Jiuyan shook her head pretendingly, "Boss, I can see that you never mention its temper. The most important thing for a donkey is to be docile, but I don't think it is docile. Didn't I buy it because it is cheap and docile? Now, it is not docile and it is expensive, so I have to think about it."
In just a few words, the donkey's biggest shortcoming was pointed out.
The street vendor couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after Feng Jiu spoke out her true feelings.
Just as Feng Jiuyan said, this donkey is very stubborn and not docile at all.
Logically speaking, this donkey should be sold at this price, given its size. But this little donkey has a hot temper and is not docile, so even though all the donkeys in the same batch have been sold, this donkey still cannot be sold.
Worried that Feng Jiuyan would leave, the stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "Seven taels of silver, no less. I lowered the price because I saw that you look friendly, not because I am a docile donkey."
The arrogant donkey was unhappy and let out a long neigh, as if protesting against the decline of its own value.
The owner of the small stall: “…” My dear, could you please hold it in for a while?
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the carriage on the stall and made a six gesture, "A donkey plus a carriage, six taels of silver. If you are willing to sell it, tie up the carriage for me immediately. If not, I will leave."
The vendor gritted his teeth, even though he didn't make much money, at least he wasn't losing money. If he still kept this ancestor, his house would inevitably be demolished by it.
"make a deal."
Arrogant Donkey: “…” He rolled his eyes at Feng Jiuyan.
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
She felt like she bought an ancestor!
After a while, the vendor fastened the carriage. After Feng Jiuyan paid the money, he climbed onto the donkey cart, threw the reins, and prepared to leave.
Don't move. Stay where you are.
The stubborn donkey was still snorting and glanced at Feng Jiuyan.
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
Okay, I bought an ancestor.
The owner of the small stall quickly covered his money bag and looked at Feng Jiuyan warily, "Once all goods are sold, they will not be returned or exchanged."
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
What kind of person is this? The six taels he gave just now was really too much!
