Caiyuan wears a red skirt on the lower body, a green top on the upper body, a bird-shaped hairpin on her head, and a pair of bird-shaped earrings, dressed like a wealthy girl from the Central Plains.

I walked happily through the West Market in Qinglin County, looking left and right, and everything I saw was strange.

"Is this candied haws delicious?"

Cai Yuan stared at the strings of crystal-clear candied haws under the sun, stopped in front of the vendor who was walking and shouting loudly while carrying a straw target, and stopped him.

“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, it’s not delicious, it’s free.”

Seeing the business coming, the hawker quickly stopped and began to sell Cai Yuan hard.

Caiyuan wrinkled her nose and smelled the sweet smell of the specially enlarged candied haws. She swallowed dryly and pretended not to care and said, "You sell candied haws, so of course you say it's delicious."

The vendor looked at Cai Yuan's clothes, confirmed the other party's financial resources, smiled more heartily, generously took out a bunch of candied haws, handed it to Cai Yuan and said: "Then you taste it first, if you think it tastes good, then give me money."

Cai Yuan blankly raised her head and glanced at the vendor selling candied haws. The vendor was in his thirties or forties. His complexion was dark from being exposed to the sun for a long time, and his face was darkened from walking in the wind and rain for a long time.

He looked a little old, and his hands looked rough and strong from working. However, the other party's eyes were sincere, and there was also a businessman's shrewdness in his sincerity. People knew that this was a little trick of the other party to sell things, and they would not be angry.

.

Caiyuan looked away from the vendor, took the candied haws from the vendor's hand, looked at it a few times, slowly opened her red lips, and took a small bite.

Caiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the candied haws in her hand in surprise, then bit off the top one in one bite, chewed it with bulging cheeks, nodded repeatedly, and praised in a Mohu voice.

“It’s delicious.”

The hawker looked at the little girl's face and knew that the business was done.

The hawker said proudly: "That's right, this is our family's ancestral craft. I have been using it for more than 20 years, and the taste is absolutely pure."

Caiyuan didn't know if she heard the vendor's words, she lowered her head and wolfed down the candied haws one by one while nodding her head.

After finishing the last candied haws, Cai Yuan realized what she was doing. She glanced awkwardly at the remaining bamboo sticks in her hand, looked up at the vendor, and said with a smile: "Well, I originally wanted to eat just one, but in the end,

That, it’s so delicious, I, I couldn’t hold it back for a moment, how much does this cost, I’ll buy a few more skewers..."

The vendor smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay, a bunch of five cents."

"Five articles?"

Cai Yuan exclaimed in surprise and stared blankly at the vendor. For a moment, she was speechless.

The hawker thought he thought the other person thought it was delicious and the noodles were a little raw. He was greedy for a moment and asked for an extra penny when the other person discovered it. He quickly smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, if you think it's expensive, you can give me four penny."

Caiyuan shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, I, I..."

She just didn't expect it to be so cheap.

Although she often comes to the Central Plains to collect intelligence, she only collects information on major and important events that happened in the Central Plains, and rarely cares about people's livelihood.

In the past, because the time to play was too short, she would always come and go in a hurry. In addition, due to her special status, she was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to stay longer.

This time the situation was different. She got a full two-day holiday from Grandpa Qilin. The most important thing was that she had met the senior officials of Zhongyuan before and found that they were different from what she had imagined. They seemed to be easy to get along with.

So I relaxed my vigilance, came up with the idea of ​​visiting the market that I had long wanted to come to but had been hesitant about, and didn’t have time to go to, and I immediately put it into action.

Caiyuan took out a brocade bag embroidered with bird-shaped patterns from her arms, took out a small piece of silver, handed it to the other party and said, "Is this enough?"

The hawker looked at the other party in surprise, subconsciously took the silver handed over by the other party, and said awkwardly: "There are too many of these, I can't find them..."

This is more than enough to buy all the candied haws on his grass target.

Originally, he shouldn't have accepted it, but he had never seen so much money before, so he accepted it in a daze.

Now, he is really unwilling to ask the hawker to return the money to the other party.

There is no reason why a duck that is already cooked and reaches your mouth will fly away.

Cai Yuan said generously: "How much? I'll give it to you if you have more."

When the vendor heard what the other party said, he immediately stopped worrying and handed the straw target in his hand to the other party. As if he was afraid that Cai Yuan would regret it, he said: "Deal." Then he turned around and ran away.

Cai Yuan blankly glanced at the vendor who disappeared into the crowd, and then glanced at the straw target in her hand.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, then glanced at the strings of candied haws on the target, swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Caiyuan took out a bunch of candied haws from the grass target and ate while walking around the market.

After wandering around for a while, Caiyuan finally understood what had just happened.

"It turns out that silver can be exchanged for so many copper coins. No wonder..."

She obviously lost money on the transaction just now.

However, she didn't care either.

Anyway, she has a lot of money.

In Nanman, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it.

Cai Yuan turned her head and glanced at the street where she often collected information before, shook her head and said: "That street is full of money..."

She used to think that silver was the money here.

"One uses silver, the other uses copper coins... Two streets, only a few streets apart, there is such a big gap..."

Cai Yuan let out a burst of emotion.

Sure enough, even in the Central Plains, the last hope of the human race, such a thing still exists.

"but……"

Cai Yuan looked at the bustling scene here, smiled and said to herself: "Even if there are some flaws, this place is much better than Nanman."

Cai Yuan learned the lesson this time and found a hidden place to collect the target candied haws in the bag. Then, pretending that she had just come to the market, she found a shop specializing in money exchange and exchanged the money.

Already.

Then with a bunch of money in hand, he started buying things at the market again.

"How much does this candy man cost?"

"Three grains..." The grain seller first subconsciously quoted a price, and then he reacted and was about to ask Lao Wang to sell melons, shouting a few words to praise himself.

Caiyuan directly took out a few of her favorite candy figures, counted a dozen copper coins, handed them to the other party, and then got up like the wind and went to another stall that she had taken a fancy to when she was shopping before.

"How much does this maltose cost?"

"One article..."

Cai Yuan directly counted ten coins to the other party.

He said calmly: "Give me ten."

The vendor took the money and said with a smile: "Okay, miss, please wait a moment."

Cai Yuan took the maltose and stood up to leave. The vendor suddenly whispered: "Be careful."

Cai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at it. Only then did she realize that she was being targeted by a few junior warriors who controlled her strength.

These people were too weak. Although they were malicious, they did not pose any threat to her, so she didn't notice them for a while.

Cai Yuan shook her head helplessly and shouted in a certain direction: "Master Qin, is this how you treat guests?"

Qin Dong was dressed in a green robe and came from a short distance away with a smile on his face. He bowed his hand to Cai Yuan and then said with a smile as if no one else was watching: "I didn't want to offend your elegance, so I didn't intervene.

In the end, it was self-defeating, and I let you see the side of me, Zhongyuan Jianzhan, and I was rude."

With that said, without Qin Dong saying anything, someone naturally walked towards the few gangsters who were eyeing Cai Yuan.

At this time, they also knew that they had hit an iron plate, so they quickly turned around and ran away.

However, how could they run away? They were escorted over within a moment.

When something like this happened in the market, many people immediately avoided it. The originally lively market suddenly became deserted.

Caiyuan glanced at the deserted market with regret, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.

If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have revealed the other party's whereabouts.

In fact, you can solve it yourself.

However, this is the Central Plains after all, not the Southern Barbarians.

She is under the strict surveillance of the other party. If she takes action, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"At that time, I should have disappeared. They had no target, so they naturally gave up. Then I showed up again and continued shopping."

These little Luoluo can't always squat on the street, waiting for her.

Qin Dong glanced at Cai Yuan with a smile and said with a smile: "They should be the gang that hangs out in this market. Even if you get rid of them temporarily, as long as you show up again, they will be found quickly."

Cai Yuan said angrily: "I'll go to another market, that's fine."

Qin Dong said with a hearty smile: "Yes, but I estimate that with your appearance, your clothes, and your appearance that you have never seen in the market, you will soon be targeted by the gangs that hang out in the market.

Ha ha……"

What haven’t you seen on the market?

Cai Yuan glared at Qin Dong angrily and said, "You are still reasonable. There are these evil gangs in the market. Shouldn't you take care of them?"

After hearing this, Qin Dong sighed, shook his head and said: "It's hard to control. Even if I arrest the current gangs, new gangs will appear soon. This problem has been fundamentally solved. What's the point?"
