Chapter 301
After leaving the exchange point, it was getting late.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the snow and wind that have just stopped not long ago are gradually rising.

Presumably the snowstorm is coming again.

Artest didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly took his daughter and led the horse to the garrison area, and found an inn to live in.

Ordinary inns in the garrison area are not expensive, and the most common single room only costs two cents for one night.

Since he was taking his daughter with him and was afraid of accidents outside, it was rare for Artest to get a double room.

It cost nickels.

But the advantage of the double room is that the inn can help you look after the horses for free, and will also provide the horses with the most common pasture.

Artest always took good care of horses, so he specially gave two cents more for fodder, and asked the inn to feed his two horses with good pasture.

In addition to the dinner for the father and daughter, each with a head-sized meat pie and a bowl of broth, the meal cost two cents.

All in all, it cost less than a dime.

Artest was very satisfied with a piece of Huangyun banknote and a piece of Qingyun banknote left.

After dinner, the wind and snow outside had risen.

Since the exchange market is located in a valley, the blizzard is not that big compared to the mountains outside the valley, but the temperature has gradually dropped.

Artest, father and daughter, fell asleep with the whistling sound of the blizzard outside the closed window.

The entire exchange market also became quiet from the hustle and bustle of the day, only the whistling wind and snow made the windows blowing.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Early on, someone was beating gongs and drums outside the street to tell the time.

The guests staying in the inn woke up to the sound of the time chime, stretched themselves, opened the windows and looked out of the street.

When they saw that there was already a little flow of people on the street outside, they all began to wash and get up after coming and going.

Breakfast is provided by the inn for free, two big meat buns and a bowl of soy milk.

Hai Lan was quite full, but for a big belly like Artest, this was not enough at all.

He directly took out another two minutes before letting the inn put on four more big meat buns, which made him burp and sat down comfortably on his stomach to eat.

And Hailan was sipping the soy milk in the bowl, this yellow-white thing that looks like goat's milk but is like goat's milk is sweet, Hailan likes this taste very much.

While drinking, smiling happily, both eyes were bent into beautiful crescent moons.

After eating for a while, seeing that his daughter had also finished drinking the soy milk, and wiping her mouth with a worn sleeve, Artest immediately patted his stomach and stood up, saying to his daughter, "Let's go, Hailan, we should get down to business. Already!"

"Okay Abu!"

Hailan replied with a smile, and then the father and daughter walked towards the market together.

The father and daughter walked on the street, Artai walked forward familiarly, Hailan looked at everything around him curiously, and from time to time looked at the various tribal children passing by who obviously came with adults. Zhong Chi Shi showed an envious expression, but she didn't say anything.

Artest walked forward on his own, looking back at his daughter from time to time in case she didn't keep up, just happened to see this scene, looked around without saying anything, and accelerated his pace.

Without a cup of tea, the father and daughter entered the area where the market was located.

Once in, the atmosphere here is obviously different from that of the garrison area.

When walking in the garrison area, although there are many people on the street, everyone will not make too much noise. Although the whole street is not quiet, it is still quiet.

However, when you come to the miscellaneous market, the fireworks of the busy city will blow your face in an instant.

The dense flow of people is constantly surging forward, and various stalls are laid around the street. Many merchants from Yunzhou County have opened their doors on both sides of the street. The stalls in front of the door and the facade behind the stalls are full of customers In and out.

The sound of bargaining between customers and shopkeepers and hawkers, quarrels when the price is not satisfied, and hawkers' hawking sounded together.

Hailan, who grew up in the grassland, was obviously the first time to encounter such a scene. There were so many people that she stood at the entrance of the market for a while, and she was a little afraid to move forward.

Artest smiled and held his daughter's hand, leading her into the crowd.

The father and daughter were walking along the street, stopping in front of a certain stall from time to time, and Artest would speak Song in half with Tatar, and the stall owner spoke Tatar in half in Song. Carry out bargaining, finally confirm the price, buy something and leave.

When the parents came out from the market, both of them took a lot of things in large and small bags.

Hailan was even more astonished to find that at some point she had a large bag of food in her hand, which Abu bought for her just now.

Looking at the food, Hailan hesitated, looked up at Abu and said, "Abu, Hailan doesn't need these foods, let's save some money for Erji to buy some cloth, Erji's clothes are torn with several holes , are still sewn together with animal skins.”

Unexpectedly, Artest smiled proudly, took out a roll of blue cotton cloth from the package behind him, and said with a smile:
"Look at what this is? Abu's Xiaohu knows how to feel sorry for Erji, and Abu knows it too. Just now, Abu bought ten cloths with so many hands open, which is enough for your Erji to make new clothes, not only enough for you Erji, Abu's little Hu can soon have new clothes to wear!"

Hailan smiled, very happily.

Abu not only thought of Eji, but also her.

Although she is very sensible, she is still just a child after all, wanting to be cared and loved by her parents.

And Artest, Abu, undoubtedly gave her what she wanted.

"Abu!"

Hailan threw herself into Abu's arms, and Artest laughed heartily.

After a while, Artest patted his daughter's head to signal her to come out of his arms, and then said:
"Okay, Abu's Xiaohu is very cute. It's getting late. We still have to go to the tea market and the salt market. We came to the exchange market this time to buy these two things. If it's too late and we can't buy them all, we can Going to be here for another day.

At that time, you, Eji, will be waiting anxiously. "

"okay!"

Hailan nodded obediently, then smiled and went to the salt market and tea market with Abu.

Before the sun went down, the parents finally returned to the inn with big bags and small bags.

Today was a big purchase, and when the father and daughter returned to the inn to take stock, they realized that they seemed to have bought a little too much.

After counting the money in his hand, Artest realized that he had spent a full 30 yuan today.

Among them, salt and tea undoubtedly accounted for the bulk.

The price of a catty of coarse salt is [-] Wen, but Artai heard that it is not good to eat too much coarse salt, so he gritted his teeth and bought [-] catties of refined salt.

Refined salt cost one hundred cents a catty, and it cost two yuan.

Tea bricks were bought for 20 yuan, and each piece weighed five catties.

It costs two hundred Wen per catty, and the tea bricks alone cost 20 yuan.

Just these two things cost a full 22 yuan.

[-] The rest of the cloth and the like cost a total of eight dollars.

In the blink of an eye, 26 sheep were exchanged for 68 yuan and 30 cents, and only [-] yuan and [-] cents were left.

"This cloud banknote is really worthless!"

Artest couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but looking at the things he bought in the room, he felt it was worth it!
The previous 26 sheep could not be exchanged for so many good things!
Since Tian Khan came, everything has changed for the better!
……

 Hahaha!Finally three hundred chapters!Done!
