Unfamiliar with the city, Chu Xi casually strolled through the streets and alleys of Kyoto, admiring the "cultural slogans" of this special era, such as "The red flag is flying, rain or shine", "Overthrow all old ideas and establish new ones", "Revolution is not a dinner party, it requires sacrifice, adventure, and a fighting spirit", etc. Chu Xi sighed and laughed at the same time...
Of course, while strolling around, she did not forget the main purpose of today. Her mental power was scattered at the same time, looking at those small alleys, narrow alleys, or some broken courtyards and the like.
Unfortunately, although Kyoto at that time wasn't as prosperous as it would be in later times, the city was already quite large, and Chu Xi's mental power was limited in scope. Although he "saw" a few people acting suspiciously, seeing how nervous they were about buying a few pounds of grains, Chu Xi simply didn't care...
Chu Xi tried his best to go to places where the ancient buildings were better preserved. Although some alleys were already quite crowded, weren't these places more likely to be where the old people and the young gathered?
The great hide themselves in the city, and some "rich people" may be hiding in some inconspicuous corners.
Finally, around noon, Chu Xi finally found a decent "market". In some remote corner alley, there were vaguely two rows of more than a dozen stalls, and in the middle there were also "customers" looking around, looking for something.
There were people watching at both ends of the alley, and there seemed to be a few unremarkable doors in the middle, probably alternative "escape routes"...
Chu Xi found a corner far away and slipped into the space. She looked like a pretty wife returning home, so it was not easy to enter. After all, her target was too obvious and would easily attract jealousy...
Soon, when she reappeared, she had become "him," wearing a blue shirt and gray pants in keeping with the times, looking a bit shabby. She also wore a straw hat on her head, and with her face deliberately painted black, she looked like a migrant worker coming to the city...
Chu Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this set of equipment in the space just now...
Then take out a backpack with a lid, and you're done!
He walked in with such arrogance, imitated others, handed a dime to the gatekeeper, pretended to have a slightly rough voice, and said, "Selling goods," and walked into the pigeon market.
As for why she disguised herself as a seller, many of the people who came here to trade might know each other, but she was a stranger and it was her first time here, so it was better for her to be careful. What if she went to buy some old items she liked and the seller refused to sell them?
After entering, he imitated others and spread an old cloth on the ground. Then he took out two pheasants and two rabbits and displayed them in a very open manner, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him.
Chu Xi also thought about it casually. After all, the space was already flooded with rabbits, pheasants, and ducks. He simply didn't know what to come up with, so he decided to use these.
"That's fine, young man. Did you just get this from the mountain?"
"Hey boy, this rabbit is quite fat. Where did you catch it?"
"How did you buy it? Do you need a ticket?"
In just a moment, several people who seemed to be strolling around gathered over. Now the policy seems to have a trend of relaxation. Some smart guys have started to do some "speculation and profiteering" things, and everyone's thinking is slowly changing.
So those who buy things have become bolder, after all, the "red armbands" are appearing less and less.
Soon, Chu Xi sold what she had put out, plus a few "props" she took out of her backpack. Then, everyone knew her as a simple-minded young man from the mountains.
Then she started her "performance", strolling along the way...
Several stall owners even greeted "him".
"Young man, when will you come next time?"
"Young man, come back this afternoon and leave me a rabbit..."
Chu Xi also agreed with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart, I don’t know when I will come again, unless... unless there is something good here that can attract her...
Just as she was thinking, a round red wooden box suddenly caught her interest. It was a very beautiful red lacquer box. She didn't know what it was used for, but it was very beautiful. Two young people were already looking at it, but the stall owner thought the price might be a bit high, so they were undecided...
The stall owner is an old man with a very Beijing-style appearance and dress. Judging from his clothes, he should be well-off, but I don't know what his purpose is in setting up this stall.
Seeing that the two young men were about to start, the stall owner smiled and opened his mouth.
"Young man, this was used by the royal family in the past... Be careful when you look at it, don't knock or bump it..."
"It's best to start one by one..."
Chu Xi also hurried over. She was interested in the fact that there was something "obviously" hidden at the bottom of the wooden box. It was golden and had a strange shape...
I believe it's not just gold. To be able to hide it with such a fine object, it must be something of great value...
It looked a bit like a key. If she added the thin piece of brown paper inside, she might have a treasure waiting for her...
Chu Xi already had countless images in her mind, and her big eyes had begun to sparkle. However, coupled with her current outfit, the stall owner was a little surprised, "This boy has such beautiful eyes..."
"Hey, this is beautiful! My sister is getting married soon. Giving her a dowry like this will definitely make her happy..."
Chu Xi was already a little impatient and stretched out her hand...
She no longer has much interest in those yellow and white things, and now she is pursuing all kinds of strange and bizarre things...
