- After breakfast, Zhao Hao helped Zhao Shouzheng make tea, grind ink, and get into a study posture.
??????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????? ???"Father, please concentrate on studying at home recently. We poor families should not go out randomly if there is nothing wrong."
Zhao Shou was sitting on a rickety broken chair, scratching his head while holding a copy of "Analects of Confucius".
"There is something really wrong. I have to go to the Imperial College tomorrow to go through the procedures for resuming school I haven't been in prison for the past two years. I'm afraid my student status has been suspended."
"Of course I have something to do. Let's just relax and study today."
Like a worried old parent, Zhao Hao told Zhao Shouzheng a few words and left him lunch money. Then he said he wanted to go shopping and went out.
"Let me study at home, but you go out and wander around!" Zhao Shouzheng protested, but unfortunately the protest was ineffective.
??~~
Zhao Hao certainly didn¡¯t go out to hang out.
"As soon as he thought that the family only had two taels of silver left, and if there was any slight disturbance, they would be faced with the dilemma of not being able to open the pot, he did not dare to delay for a moment.
He wanted to see if he could find any way to make money so that he could solve the urgent needs of the father and son.
He originally planned to go to the most prosperous area of ??the Confucius Temple along the Qinhuai River, but when he asked about the carriage carrying passengers, it actually cost him twenty coins to get there.
"So expensive?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
"This little brother, it's twenty miles away. If there are no guests on the return trip, I will be in trouble." The coachman wearing a bamboo hat said angrily.
"How can I make you lose money?" Zhao Hao smiled, put his wallet back in his sleeve and said, "I won't go."
"You bastard, you're here to entertain people!" When he walked away, the coachman was still cursing behind him.
Zhao Hao curled his lips and pretended not to hear anything.
But he doesn¡¯t have the ability to travel forty miles back and forth on two legs. Remembering that there were many bustling markets in the Bell and Drum Tower area that day, he clarified his direction and changed his destination.
The further south you go, the more prosperous it becomes. After crossing the Lion Bridge and going up the main street outside the Drum Tower, the prosperous scene seen yesterday reappeared in front of Zhao Hao's eyes.
He didn¡¯t have any rules in mind at the moment, so he walked carefully around the shops one after another.
That day I just took a quick tour and got a rough taste of the prosperity of the Southern Capital of the Ming Dynasty. Looking carefully today, he was really shocked by the prosperity of Nanjing's commerce and the abundance of supplies
Zhao Hao made a rough count and found that on the broad street less than a mile long in front of him, there were no less than a hundred eye-catching shop signs of various styles erected or hung.
In addition to the most common restaurants, restaurants and teahouses, there are also restaurants such as 'Liu Xiaoping Chuan Guang Groceries', 'Zhou Ji Fa Dui Guan Yan', 'Chongming Sea Food Complete', 'Northwest Liangkou Leather Goods Fake', 'Ruixiang Hao Silk and Satin Store', 'Nan There are no less than dozens of businesses, such as "Wazi Cloth Store" and "Tang Ji Nan Goods Store".
¡° Moreover, the wide supply of goods and the complete range of categories in these stores were beyond his imagination before. Zhao Hao entered the Nanwazi cloth store and saw hundreds of various kinds of cloths on the counter.
Zhao Hao was deeply curious, so he pretended that he wanted to buy cloth, which made the store clerk speak crisply and fluently.
"We have Jiaxing Xitang cloth, Suzhou green, Songjiang green, Nanjing green, Guazhou green, red cloth, green cloth; Songjiang large shuttle cloth, medium and small shuttle cloth; Huguang Xiaogan cloth, Linjiang cloth, Xinyang cloth; Dingtao cloth ; Fujian raw cloth, Anhai raw cloth, Jiyang cloth, burlap, Shufang raw cloth, varnish cloth"
Zhao Hao enjoyed listening so much that he couldn¡¯t help but applaud. The shop clerk became more and more proud, and tried his best to order dozens of different kinds of fabrics, and then he gasped and asked, "Which kind do you want, sir?"
"Well, let me think about it." Zhao Hao crossed his arms, pretending to think for a moment, and said to himself: "It seems that there is a possibility of improvement in looms and printing and dyeing technology." ¡¯
But the problem remains, water from far away cannot quench thirst from near. Facing a room full of cloth, he couldn't find any way to make quick money.
"Excuse me, I'll go shopping again" Zhao Hao smiled apologetically at the man, and couldn't bear to look at his sad eyes, and slipped out of the cloth shop as if he was running away.
Zhao Hao was like this. As he walked from house to house, he was amazed by almost every house. He even discovered a fish shop specializing in seafood. In addition to selling sea fish, the store also uses seawater to raise crabs, eels, shrimps, snails, clams, clams, whitebait, razor clams, clams, etc. The variety is not much less than that of the seafood markets of later generations. I don¡¯t know how they brought these seafood, which was difficult to keep fresh and difficult to traffic, alive from hundreds of miles away.
Looking at these seafood, Zhao Hao felt hungry and hurriedly came out of this aquatic product shop with "Chongming Seafood All-In-One".
Unexpectedly, the streets were also filled with all kinds of tempting aromas of delicious food, and Zhao Hao suddenly realized that it was already lunch time. Not only the food in the restaurants is fragrant, but the various food stalls along the road also display a dazzling array of food, making people salivate.
¡®¡¯ Is boiled dried shredded, osmanthus duck, raw frying buns, marinated pork trotters and fried saury, fried meatballs, grilled chicken, and stinky tofu How can I even have stinky tofu so fragrant? ¡¯
Zhao Hao sniffed uncontrollably and swallowed his saliva, but when he touched the two taels of silver left in his arms, he felt that this moment was extremely cruel.
"I just ate a basket of steamed buns this morning. I won't be hungry." Zhao Hao hinted to himself repeatedly: "This is all an illusion. I am greedy, not hungry!"
But he could not help but secretly swear that when this young master gets rich in the future, he will definitely take revenge and come back.
??????????????????????? Well, cook the dried shredded silk and eat one bowl and then another bowl
??~~
Zhao Hao endured his hunger and visited a few more stores before entering a store with a signboard of "Tang Ji Nan Goods Store" in black letters on a yellow background.
The so-called southern goods are naturally the specialties of the south. The store is full of Jinhua ham, Shaoxing rice wine, dried seafood, Lingnan dried fruits and other foods from southern Jiangsu, Ningshao, Fujian and Guangdong.
'They're selling food again' Zhao Hao muttered and wanted to retreat, but accidentally caught a glimpse of dozens of coarse porcelain bowls neatly stacked on the shelves at the entrance of the store. The bowls were filled with either dark brown or Reddish brown paste.
"What is this?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.
¡°Young master, you don¡¯t even know brown sugar and brown sugar?¡± the shop assistant asked funnyly.
"I've never seen it in a bowl." Zhao Hao shook his head, picked up a bowl of brown sugar and looked at it carefully. He saw that its surface was rough like sand, and it also had snowflake-like patterns, which was very beautiful.
"How much is it?"
"A bowl of brown sugar costs thirty cents, and a bowl of brown sugar costs one cent." The waiter smiled and asked, "Sir, would you like some?"
"What's the price of sugar?" Zhao Hao asked casually.
"White sugar" The man was stunned for a moment, as if he had never heard of this name.
However, Zhao Hao clearly remembered that he drank sugar water when he first came here. And in his memory, little Zhao Hao also ate sugar, so there was absolutely no way he was without such a thing.
¡°The guest officer is talking about icing sugar, right?¡± the waiter asked tentatively.
"Probably." Zhao Haoxin said. It seemed that the names were different, so he nodded and said, "Do you have one at home?"
"Yes, yes" The clerk took out a delicate wooden box from the counter, opened it and showed it to Zhao Hao. It was indeed white sugar.
Zhao Hao subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to twist it a little and taste it.
Unexpectedly, the waiter felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately closed the lid with a snap, almost pinching Zhao Hao's fingers.
"You are such a naive guest, how can you taste such a precious thing lightly?"
"Isn't it just white sugar? How expensive is it?" Zhao Hao said somewhat unhappily.
"One tael of silver and one tael of candy, are you kidding me?" the waiter said with wide eyes.
"What? One tael of silver and one tael of sugar?!" Zhao Hao was stunned.
