Chapter 13 Preliminary Exploration of Foreign Lands

When he was at home, although Du Le was not the most diligent one, he had to get up early every day to open the shop.

But this time, he slept very deeply.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Le heard a lot of footsteps in a daze, and more and more noisy voices, until he couldn't sleep anymore.

There was really no other way, so Du Le had no choice but to stretch. Unexpectedly, he fell down on the dusty road.Du Le screamed, opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him reminded him of what happened yesterday.

What caught Du Le's eyes was an ancient street market scene, a street that could accommodate four cars walking side by side, and there were all kinds of people in ancient costumes, wearing silk, brocade clothes, and linen in various colors There are also all kinds of professional figures, shopkeepers, stall sellers, fortune tellers, writers, and street peddlers.

Du Le, who was worried that he would be regarded as a different kind, found that there were many beggars like him sitting on the corner of the street, hoping to get a job, and almost stretching out his hands. His heart was relieved a lot.The clothes he is wearing now are at least in line with the local beggar's clothes.

Du Le saw all kinds of people in front of him, all with yellow skin and black eyes similar to his.Somehow, Du Le actually felt a little sense of security.Humans are naturally social animals that live in groups, and it is easy to find a sense of security in groups.

Du Le looked around carefully, and when he confirmed that no one would be surprised by his outfit, or even feel too much hostility, he stood up and patted the dust off his body.

As a prospective businessman who decided to step into commercial activities, Du Le had long been prepared to work hard in a strange place.A businessman must understand the market. In short, Du Le must know where he is.Of course, if he could be teleported home immediately, Du Le wouldn't stay any longer. The reason was simple. The corpse last night made him feel horrified.He still needs time to buffer these stimuli, but he can't just squat by the side of the road.Du Le, who has just graduated, has an arrogance in his heart that does not allow him to squat on the side of the road like a beggar, and he doesn't even want to pretend to be a beggar.

Du Le didn't know where he came to, everything around him only reminded him of the costume drama on TV.Although unfamiliar, but can not help but a little curious.Du Le carefully observed the people walking and buying and selling on the street. Apart from being busy, their faces were almost full of sadness, as if a huge disaster was about to come.

Du Le looked left and right, and quietly walked to the side of the people who were talking. He found that the language of the people here was not much different from his own, and he could understand it.Du Le relaxed his mind a little, and began to intervene in people's conversations, wanting to understand the local cultural environment.However, every time Du Le spoke, for some reason, the people in the conversation stopped talking and dispersed.

After several attempts, Du Le finally gave up.After thinking about it, Du Le decided to watch and listen more first.

After nearly an hour, Du Le finally realized that the city he is currently in is called Jinyang City and belongs to a country named Chu.The state of Chu, similar to the empire of ancient China on Earth, is a feudal monarchy.

Now, Chu State is being attacked by Qi State and Jin State, and countless refugees from all over the country rushed to Jinyang City, the capital of Chu State, to seek refuge.This is why Du Le saw that the streets were full of beggars. After all, in a feudal country, the rich belonged to the minority.As long as a farmer leaves the land, he is a refugee, not much different from a beggar.

What interests Du Le most is the information on the sale of commodities. In addition to the ceramics, jade and other exquisite handicrafts in the shop, the city also specially divides a commodity trading area, which specializes in buying and selling various commodities, from daily necessities to Luxury, everything.

Perhaps it was because when the country was in crisis, the prices of agricultural products such as grain and vegetables in Jinyang City were extremely high, while the prices of some things that could not be eaten as food were extremely low.Even a person like Du Le, who does not usually study art, can see that the craftsmanship of several ink paintings is extraordinary and refined, even surpassing the tens of thousands of Chinese paintings he has seen in art galleries, but the price of these treasures is low. Only enough to buy a handful of cabbage.Du Le really wanted to buy a few to take back.Unfortunately, he has no money with him.

The coins used here are easy to find out.Gold coins, gold coins are actually used here.Gold coins are the general currency here, the most common currency.Gold coins of different sizes represent different values.There are probably one yuan gold coin, five cent gold coin, one cent gold coin and so on.

There was still some time left, Du Le thought about it, and walked around.

He walked to a small fruit shop with a relatively large scale.On the fruit table in front of the fruit shop, there are only a few kinds of fruits, which look a bit like bananas and apples, with very poor appearance and not many in quantity.

Du Le glanced at the people in the shop. There were two people inside. One was a middle-aged woman in her 40s who was a bit fat; the other was a thin man in his 50s.The two were sitting in the store and sighing, and they didn't even notice that Du Le walked in.

"...For those who are fleeing, the road to the north is cut off, and the south can't transport goods. Our fruit stand may not be able to continue. Hey! Why don't we close the store and go to my brother-in-law's house in the south? If we wait until Qi, Jin When the soldiers from the Chu State arrived, we had no choice but to leave. Besides, although the city is heavily guarded, I also believe that our Chu State will win, but we can’t stay here to suffer. You see, the food has risen to a one-yuan gold coin It's three catties, and last month it was only one cent per catty." The middle-aged woman babbled to the thin man.

"Well," the thin man seemed to be thinking about something, and lowered his head in response.

"Are you still a man? When you make a decision, you still dawdle like this!" The middle-aged woman shouted at the skinny man.

"I'm thinking about it!" The skinny man shouted impatiently, "I know what you said! But, we bought this shop with 50 gold coins, let alone 50 gold coins now, No one will take over even ten yuan!"

Du Le thought about it together and looked at the shop.The front shop is not big, about a dozen square meters, and the back shop should be a place for the store to stay and store goods.

"You two, hello." Du Le stopped the argument between the two inside, "A business is coming!"

"It's out of stock, that's all the above." The middle-aged woman stood up apologetically and said in a businessman's tone, "And the price is not cheap, three gold coins for one yuan, choose whatever you want."

"I have a batch of fruits, and I want to ask you to sell them as a consignment. Is it possible?" Du Le approached and said softly.

"Consignment sale?" The skinny man looked puzzled.

"I want to rent your bunk and sell the fruits I brought." Du Le explained.
