Governor He needed the passing caravans to increase tax revenue and political achievements, and General Meng also needed military funds, so even without Bai Shan's trust, the two of them would not be able to allow such a gang of horse thieves to exist.
The two stared at Fu Fu together, especially General Meng, who had killed countless enemies and guarded the border for many years. His aura and evil spirit were far from comparable to Nie Canjun and Bai Shan's, so he obviously didn't say a word, Fu Fu just couldn't help it Feeling terrified, I couldn't help shivering slightly.
General Meng sat down with a golden knife, and listened to the interrogation of Governor He.
Man Bao and the others walked slowly to a small town. It was a fairly prosperous town, but it was dusty, and it was not as beautiful as the heavy rain and their town.
Da Yu said complacently: "That's natural. We dare not say anything else in our small town. Feng Shui is absolutely good. Not only can we grow melons, fruits, barley, but also wheat. Our elder brother said that if the weather is good in the future, we will also grow wheat." Free up some land and try to grow rice."
Thinking of the white rice that Zhou Man and the others ate during this time, Da Yu licked his lips, "Rice is delicious."
Man Bao also thought the rice was delicious, and she suddenly felt a little hungry. She turned her head and said to Bai Shan, "I want to eat rice balls."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "I'll let Mrs. He do it for you as soon as I find a place to live."
Da Yu immediately asked, "What are rice balls?"
"Onigiri is rice rolled into a ball."
Da Yu looked suspicious, "It's all rice, what's the difference between kneading and not kneading?"
Seeing that they didn't tell him, he snorted and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll ask Mrs. He."
Man Bao said: "Don't scare people, rice balls are rice balls with some salt, what difference can there be?"
Da Yu didn't talk about looking for Mrs. He.
Mrs. He is the only person in the town who is willing to follow them, but she is very afraid of the heavy rain and them. It is said that she is the concubine of a merchant who followed the town, but when the merchant came to the town, the merchant fell in love with a gem. It was a little short, so she resold Mrs. He to someone in the small town.
That man's family was also well off, but his life was short. Sister-in-law He died of illness less than five years after entering the house, and she didn't give birth to a son and a half. Give her a place to live, but she needs to earn her own food and drink.
Sister-in-law He can barely survive in the small town because she knows some cooking skills, plus she does laundry for others, but she has always wanted to go back to the Central Plains, but going back to the Central Plains requires a lot of money even to follow the passing merchants travel expenses.
She has no money.
She also thought of other ways, but after eight years, she couldn't believe those who were willing to take her, and she didn't want to take her if she reluctantly believed.
Zhou Man and the others were the only ones she had trusted so far, so Li Guanshi just showed a little bit of meaning at that time, saying that they needed a cook in their caravan, and she immediately recommended herself.
It's just that she is still a little afraid of people from the small town, especially those in the mayor's mansion like Heavy Rain, and she always avoids people when she can.
Man Bao could also see her fear, so he didn't let Da Yu and the others scare her.
There are inns in the town, but they are not very big, so many of them need to live in three inns, and the houses here are all on one floor, not two floors, and the doors and windows are very small.
Li Guanshi took the two of them to visit the whole town first, and then settled on a place to live, three inns next to each other.
This shows how small this town is, a little smaller than Da Yu's town, but it is indeed bustling, with a lot of people inside, and the stalls on both sides of the road are full of things, and many customers are picking things.
Here, Man Bao and the others finally saw the caravan.
It's just that these caravans all seem to come from other places and want to enter the customs. There are also people who look like Han Chinese, but more of them are people from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes.
That's why Man Bao's appearance in the small town is so eye-catching, and many people have come to see it.
Originally, this small town greeted and sent off people of all kinds, so it shouldn't be so unusual, but Zhou Man and the others didn't look like merchants at first sight, so everyone couldn't help but pay more attention.
Man Bao and the others looked back curiously. There are also many outsiders in the capital. Not to mention far away, there are students with different looks in the Tai Medical Office, but there are so many people who look different and have such obvious characteristics. It was the first time we saw her together.
Since people looked at her, she looked back generously, and everyone was curious about each other, so there was no such thing as being polite.
When looking at people, he took a look at the things on the booth by the way, and Man Bao found that this was simply a large-scale exchange of goods.
Most people are bartering, only a few people buy things with silver or gold.
Most of the stalls are fur and cloth, as well as porcelain and various grains, among which beans are the most.
Soy beans, black beans, red beans... all kinds of beans.
After looking around, Man Bao put away his curious eyes, and went into the inn under the guidance of Li Guanshi.
Li Guanshi said: "We arrived early, the younger one estimated the time, wait another day tomorrow, they should be able to catch up in the evening, and we can leave early in the morning."
Bai Shan nodded and said: "Prepare more water, we will go to see the camels tomorrow."
"yes."
There is a camel seller in the small town, and the scale is not small. Keke likes this kind of creature that has no records.
Man Bao also likes it, and it can earn a lot of points for including this kind of thing, so she picks it up herself, and Keke scans it, and can barely see which one is stronger through comparison.
So Man Bao picked six camels under its guidance. The reason why he didn't continue was that Li Guanshi whispered that it was enough, and any more would be too expensive.
Man Bao touched one of the camels and said, "We'll sell it when we come back from the Western Regions."
The shopkeeper on the side smiled and said, "Miss, if you want to sell camels, you can come to us again, and we will definitely give you a reasonable price."
Man Bao asked, "Would you buy it back at the original price?"
The shopkeeper's face was slightly stiff, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, it comes according to its quality."
What do they earn when the original price is recovered
Da Yu also likes camels, but unfortunately the town is poor, and his eldest brother is unwilling to do this business, saying that it is too expensive, and it is useless if he cannot sell it.
He rolled his eyes and said to Zhou Man, "You can bring it back to our town and sell it to us."
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "Can you pay the original price?"
Before Da Yu answered, Bai Shan had already said: "We'll talk about this later, we haven't arrived yet, why are we always thinking about what will happen after we get back?"
The shopkeeper on the side couldn't help it anymore, and said, "If the camel is not damaged, we can talk about the price again."
Man Bao came to his senses now, nodded with him and said, "We'll talk about this when we come back."
