The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1884 Sky-high Potatoes

"I'm going to write a memorial to ask my father to start editing history books. These things must be completed as soon as possible. This is a major event that concerns generations to come. It cannot be sloppy." I thought of writing a memorial.

"Stop, you're planning to take us out for a stroll today, why did you forget it so quickly, the weather is fine for a few days, so let's do it today, don't say that you don't have time."

Wan Wan grabbed Zhao Xu and refused to let him leave. Zhao Xu promised to cheat with them today because they hadn't gone out for a long time. Zhao Xu just said it casually yesterday, but they all remembered it.

"Why don't you still want to? They are all ready now. If you know how long you haven't gone out with them, you can do it."

Seeing Zhao Xu's reluctance, Wanwan immediately used her trump card. Zhao Xu hadn't been with them for a long time since he set off to Fusang.

Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this. After all, he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, so let's make up for them now, and there's nothing wrong with going shopping.

Bianjing is already a prosperous city. It is not an exaggeration to call it the largest city in the world at this time. There is no other place that can match the level of prosperity. As the capital of the Song Dynasty, its level of prosperity is not your Negro imaginable.

Business is prosperous, there are many shops, and there are voices of hawking everywhere. Commerce has become the main support of this city. Products from all over the world are gathered here. As long as you can name the things you want to buy, you can find them in Bianjing.

In addition, in the past few years, businessmen of the Song Dynasty have frequently gone to sea, and many overseas things can already appear in Bianjing, which has greatly enriched the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty.

"What is this? It's round and pretty. Why haven't I seen it before?" Wang Linger asked curiously holding something she had never seen before.

"Ling'er, didn't you say that you have seen too many strange things, how come you don't know this one when you see it." Zhang Mengyao also joined in.

"Sister Mengyao, if you still say you don't know, do you know what this is?" Wang Linger asked with a smile.

"Then I don't know what it is, I really haven't seen it before." Zhang Mengyao also shook her head helplessly, as a lady of everyone, she really didn't add it.

"We haven't seen it before, what the hell is it?" The other girls shook their heads one after another, while Zhao Xu didn't say a word. This thing is so common in later generations, it's so common that it can't be seen on the dining table. I can see it, but at this time it does exist like a baby.

"What are you laughing at? Do you know what it is?" Gao Guiying asked impatiently when she saw Zhao Xu sniggering beside her.

Zhao Xu didn't dare to laugh any more. Zhao Xu had been walking around the streets of Bianjing with them all morning. It was really scary. These women didn't seem to know how tired they were. Zhao Xu almost felt They were exhausted, but they were still in high spirits. Zhao Xu really couldn't help it every day.

"No, no, I'm still curious, actually I don't know, no, Wanwan, why are you looking at me like this?"

Just as Zhao Xu said that he didn't know the name of that thing, Wanwan's eyes drifted over here, with a sense of playfulness.

"How dare you say that you don't know this stuff, how dare you say that you haven't eaten it, what are you talking about?" Wanwan didn't save face with him at all, especially when he looked at Zhao Xu's pitiful look, he wanted Zhao Xu even more. Xu was devastated.

"Why, Sister Wanwan, you said that he knows what it is and has eaten it. It's too much. Then why didn't he say it just now? Was it on purpose? Look at our joke."

When Wang Ling'er heard Wanwan say that Zhao Xu had not only seen but also eaten this system, she immediately became angry. They had been arguing just now, and he was secretly laughing at the side, sincerely watching their jokes!
"Quickly tell me, what is this thing? If you don't let me, you'll be finished. Tell me quickly." There was a strange sight on the street, a man was surrounded by several women, as if something had happened.

"Okay, okay, don't shake it anymore, if you shake it again, mine will fall apart, I'll tell you the head office, this thing is called a potato, and it's also called a potato, you sister Wanwan knows more than me .”

Potato?

It was such a simple thing, a common dish in later generations, that they couldn't make them argue here. As soon as Zhao Xu said the name of the potato, they started talking about what a potato was and why it was called a potato.

Zhao Xu couldn't help explaining again, which was more detailed than the potato sellers. As a result, there were more and more people here, and the small vendors began to complain, how can they do business here.

"This official, how do you know that you believe it so much? It was brought back by a businessman who came back from overseas. He also said that no one knows this thing, and it must be good to buy. It was unexpectedly hit by you."

"What's the matter, this thing was discovered by my people, and I gave it the name, why don't you think I don't know, is that so, you only have a dozen or so potatoes here, I want them all, how much do you say ?" Zhao Xu saw that these girls still couldn't let go of potatoes, so Zhao Xu simply bought them all.

"Guest guest, you are really proud. For this one penny, you will give ten pennies in total. The remaining few are considered small and given to you. What do you think?"

The small trader was proud for a while, and finally someone wanted this thing, so he had to slaughter it severely.

Ten pennies?
How much is the ten pennies, the peddler will not be unaware, ah, he dares to ask for so much, it seems that he is really confident.

"Ten guanqian, you really dare to ask for it. Do you know what ten guanqian can do in Bianjing? It can make you worry about food and clothing, and stop you from being a hawker here. Don't you know?"

Zhao Xu looked at the peddler. The peddler opened his mouth like a lion. Potatoes were precious, but not so expensive.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This thing was delivered from the sea, so it should be more expensive. Officer, you see that you have delayed us for so long, and the potatoes are already rotten. You have to ask for it. Don't want it, even if you go to the government, you still have to buy these potatoes!"

The peddler suddenly became hardened at this time, and he wanted to buy and sell by force, and he was not afraid of causing trouble to the government, which was a bit arrogant.

However, Zhao Xu did see that the skin on the potato was indeed worn out, which was caused by a few of them stroking back and forth, but it couldn't just buy a penny because of this.

Today I really encountered a sky-high price of potatoes.
