People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Xu Yinlian, who was sitting on the chair, jumped up in surprise at Cai Xiaolan's ambition.She had previously lived in Tianfu Jucai Residence and only saw Cai Xiaolan playing with cotton for several days. Later, the cotton was taken away by the Cui family.

Unexpectedly, in those few days, Cai Xiaolan had such a big ambition.

"No -" Xu Yinlian suddenly realized that Cai Xiaolan could have passed Li Yunguang and not come to Lingnan Road, but she came here.

"Have you planned to come to Lingnan Road for a long time?" Xu Yinlian asked.

"Yes, I have always heard people say that Lingnan Road is a cotton planting area. Cui Le brought back a few carts of cotton and confirmed the news for me. I don't have the ability to form a caravan, so I have to do it myself!" Cai Xiaolan said with a smile on her face With a smile, it was only now that he explained his true purpose of coming to Lingnan.

"I asked you how could you be so frustrated when you act? It turns out that your true purpose is so deep!" Xu Yinlian now thinks back on Cai Xiaolan's behavior, which is indeed somewhat different from the Cai Xiaoniang she has always known.

"As expected of Mr. Xiaolan!" Toyokura could only praise.

"Thank you for your support. When I develop the technology to turn cotton into silk thread, we will open a Shasha Hall next to it."

"Hahaha, then we have two halls here, one is the Medical Hall and the other is the Silk Making Hall." Jiang Lihua concluded.

"That's not all. When our yarn-making technology matures, we will open another weaving hall." Cai Xiaolan has plans for the future.

Indeed, if silk is not woven into cloth, the original intention will be lost.

"I'm taking a break today, and I just have to go to Annan County to find some medical clinics to discuss the supply of medicinal materials. Do you want to go together?" Cai Xiaolan suggested.Annan County is far away. In addition to this public holiday, Cai Xiaolan also specifically reported to Manager Wu to ask for an extra day off.

Although people other than Cai Xiaolan had only been to Annan County a few days ago, they were all very interested and willing to lead the way.

Who doesn't like shopping?No matter how poor a small county is, it has its own characteristics.

The last time we entered the city, we just had a glimpse, and Cai Xiaolan didn't have time to observe it carefully.But this time, they drove the carriage from the city gate and slowly traveled to every corner of the city.

"Hey, look, there are a lot of people over there!" Xu Xiaoqin looked at the group of people in front of him, became interested, told Xu Yinlian, and gathered around them.

After a while, the person ran back again.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lihua asked.

"There are so many scary bugs over there." The little girl's face turned pale. She had never thought that cockroaches the size of a pinky finger could grow to be as big as a fist, and there were also long bugs with many legs.

When Cai Xiaolan heard this, she ran in.Medical books talked about many ways to fight poison with poison. When she was in Yangzhou Prefecture, poisonous insects were rare and expensive. She didn't find the opportunity to try it. Now that she encountered it, of course she couldn't miss it.

She squeezed into the crowd, and when she saw the food in the vendor's basin, a chill came out of her back, and goosebumps formed on her skin, "What a wild place!"

There were eight or nine pots, large and small, filled with all kinds of poisons.

"Boss, I want a little of everything!"

The boss who sells things is a local native, so naturally he cannot understand Cai Xiaolan's words, but it does not affect his business. With a few common gestures, both parties understand their respective needs.In the end, I spent only a hundred dollars on Xiaolan and bought ten of each type.

When she returned to the carriage with the poisonous insects in the small bag given by her boss, everyone else in the carriage glanced at her out of curiosity.

"very scary!"

"Let's find out later if there is a bank or jewelry store in the city. Let's buy some silverware. When eating and drinking, everyone should test it first." Cai Xiaolan made a suggestion.The carriage continued to move forward, and Cai Xiaolan found the medical center as she wished, and explained her purpose, but was rejected.Fortunately, there was a Han man who could speak Mandarin and explained the reason to them.

Most of the locally produced medicinal materials are in the hands of the natives.The natives have different villages, and there are wizards in each village, and they basically digest it internally.The medical clinics in the city all point to passing caravans, so herbal medicines are expensive!
"No wonder! Cai Xiaolan murmured to herself. It seems that if you want to live well in Annan City, you must have a good relationship with the natives.

Judging from what she saw on the street today, Annan City is probably dominated by natives.

The rest of the trip went very smoothly. Although there was no shop specializing in selling cotton on the street, Cai Xiaolan accidentally encountered exploding cotton berries at the grain store and negotiated a deal at a very low price.

In the end, the cost of buying cotton is not as expensive as the freight and labor.

The boss was originally unwilling to do this business, but because Cai Xiaolan and his party were Han Chinese, he nodded and agreed regardless of interests.For this reason, Cai Xiaolan made another purchase in the store and bought some high-end grains and seasonings.

A lot of money was spent.

"No wonder, you said the prices here are low!" Cai Xiaolan couldn't wait to take out the money in the light curtain and make a big purchase.

"Hahaha, you can also feel the anxiety in our hearts at that time!" I saw countless cheap things, but couldn't buy them because they were useless.

At night, they encountered a problem: they searched all over Annan City but could not find a suitable inn to stay.

The number of inns in Annan City is not small, but they are all full of people.

"What a misstep. I should have thought about what to do if the first-class conditions are so high and those who don't have enough money want to stay in the city. Isn't this inn the best choice?" Cai Xiaolan Self-examination.

"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that a small, remote place could fill up the inn." Xu Yinlian explained.

"Let's go ahead. I hope what the boy from the previous house said is accurate. The house in front of me has two vacancies!" Jiang Lihua interrupted the conversation between the two.

They originally wanted to have a good night's sleep and wanted at least three rooms.Now all I need is that men and women can lie down separately.

Annan Inn - Cai Xiaolan looked up at the four big characters above her head.

"It's impressive enough. Even if this inn is moved to Yangzhou City, it will still be famous." Cai Xiaolan praised.

After entering the door, there is nothing special, it is very lively inside.The lobby was almost full of people, and there were all kinds of people inside.There are scholars in robes, scholars with swords on their waists, clerks in official uniforms, natives in strange costumes, and businessmen in ordinary clothes but jewels.

"Huh?" Cai Xiaolan took a step forward amid hesitation and asked, "Boss Jia? Your caravan hasn't gone back yet?"

Jia Yuqi heard a familiar voice and turned around to see that it was an old friend from Yangzhou. "Boss Cai, did you form a caravan yourself?"

"It's a long story!" Cai Xiaolan sat down and briefly told him what happened next.

"If I knew there was a ride with the army, I would have waited before setting off. Otherwise, I wouldn't have..."

Jia Yuqi didn't finish what he said, obviously he still had concerns, or telling Cai Xiaolan would not help.

The two of them just nodded and exchanged a few words before Cai Xiaolan took the initiative to leave.

Toyokura had already booked two rooms. While they were shopping, they bought a lot of street snacks, so they had no worries about dinner. (End of chapter)
