    They arrived at Ailuo City in the autumn. The city was much larger than Chen Qiao imagined. When they climbed up the last hill and looked at the city from a distance, they were undoubtedly excited.  People living in modern times will never understand how a person would feel when he suddenly sees a big city after staying in a small tribe for a long time.

    Although they could already see the target, it was still nearly a day's journey to actually get there. They arrived outside the city at dusk. The area outside the city was completely cleared. There were no trees left, let alone other people's homes.

    Lan Jia took them to stay in a house not far away. The head of the household was a small middle-aged man. When he saw the animal skins on Chen Qiao and Baya, his originally kind-hearted faces showed contempt.  look.  Is this the superiority of being close to a big city?

    Chen Qiao found that he had been away from these things for so long that his mind was a little hard to turn around.

    Lan Jia seemed to be used to seeing this. She took out a few slender copper bars from her body, which seemed to be the currency here. You could tell by the flattery on the little man's face.

    Speaking of which, are coppers used here?  I don¡¯t know if there are any iron tools. Anyway, let¡¯s go to bed now. We¡¯ll find out when we go around the city tomorrow.

    The next day, several of them couldn't wait to get up early and went to the city gate to wait. Lan Jia rested at the farmer's house today because he felt unwell.  Chen Qiao asked her about a merchant's shop and planned to sell some pearls today.

    It is not difficult to enter the city. There are four guards at the door. There is a wall next to the city gate. There are many portraits painted on the wall. Chen Qiao did a rough count and found that there were about twenty dozen. He asked about the people on the side.  Only then did people realize that these were not big shots, but residents of Arrow City who refused to come and go.  I don¡¯t know who came up with such a creative idea, and each of the portraits is vividly painted. Not only are the expressions vivid, but they are also waterproof. No matter how exposed they are to wind and sun, those portraits remain radiant.  If you see these people in the city, you can report them. It is said that the rewards are very generous.

    There is no need to pay a fee to enter the city. You only need to tell the guard where you are from. The guard is quite kind and sees that these people do not look like troublemakers, so they let them go.

    After entering the city, Chen Qiao became more and more confused.  This Airo City is really strange. Entering the city depends on the guard's impression of you, and whether you want to live in the city depends on the city lord's impression of you.  It seems that there is no order, but this city is an orderly and prosperous scene.

    ???????? I¡¯ll forget about the unexplainable problems for the time being. The top priority now is to change some money with me first. There are a lot of delicious and fun places in this city, which made Maixi¡¯s eyes widen. Even the steady Dilla couldn¡¯t help but look around.

    Whatever important things should be left for later. Now he just wants to take a few old people for a walk and buy some delicious and fun things.

    Chen Qiao found the store that Lan Jia told him about. As agreed, he did not report Lan Jia's name. He just said that he had some good things to sell and asked their boss to come out.

    The person working in the store is an old man. Judging from the weird clothes of Chen Qiao and others, they may have come from afar and they may have some strange things on them.  So he asked them to wait and went to the back room to talk to the boss.

    The boss is a fat middle-aged man with a shiny face and a treacherous businessman face.

    "I heard that you have good things to sell?" the boss asked directly as soon as he came out. He was a little impatient. Now these bumpkins from the hills just pick up a stone and treat it as a treasure and come to him to sell it. He was  I have been annoyed so many times that I am already a little disgusted with this kind of talk about having treasures to sell.  But people have to eat and business has to be done, so even if there is little hope, he still has to come out to see her often.

    "It's not a good thing. It's just a specialty of our hometown. I don't know if the people here will like it." Only Chen Qiao can handle this kind of situation.

    ¡°If it¡¯s a good thing, take it out and take a look.¡±

    Chen Qiao took out several pearls that he had selected the night before. He did not take out the largest and roundest ones, but chose a few that were relatively good.

    ¡°I wonder if this thing is considered rare in this Arrow City?¡±

    "Are you guys from the seaside?" This boss obviously has some knowledge.

    "good."

    "This thing is quite rare in Arrow City. It's too far away from the sea. Very few people come here, and few of those who do come here bring these things." The boss said slowly, "It's just you.  There are only a few of them, but the quality is really average, and they can¡¯t be sold for much good price.¡±

    "Haha, a few of us??I don't plan to sell it at a high price. This thing is not rare in our area. Children pick it up and use it as pebbles to play with. We can sell it for as much as we can. As long as the price given by the boss is fair, we will still be with you next time.  Sell.  "Chen Qiao threw out the bait with a kind face.

    "Hehehe, you should bring more over next time." The boss felt obviously much better after hearing this. His eyes were wandering, and he was secretly calculating how much he would give them.  Of course it won't work if you give too much. It hurts his body. It doesn't seem to be good if you give too little. He's not the only one doing this business in this city. If these bumpkins find out that he lied to them, they will probably never come here again.  .

    "Well, it's your first time to come to Arrow City. It's not easy to be away from home. I'll give you two pieces this time. If you still have these things in the future, if you come to my place again, the price will be absolutely fair. How about it?"

    "That's natural. Boss, you are such a good person." Chen Qiao thanked him with an honest look.

    After they withdrew the money and left the store, the boss suddenly remembered that something was wrong.  This is so unlucky. Isn't my boat capsized in the gutter?  There is no such thing as a lumpy person on the beach who can speak the Ai Luo dialect as soon as he comes over. This person looks honest, but in fact he dug a hole for himself to jump in from the beginning.

    So the fat boss became depressed. Although his business was still profitable, being led by others unknowingly made him feel very frustrated.  Every time he meets a fat sheep, no matter how deep or shallow he is, he always wants to kill him. Today, he really didn't perform well.  It seems that he has been too lazy recently and his mind is not as sharp as before.

    "Dad, are you lying again?" Maixi just followed Chen Qiao. When she saw Chen Qiao smiling like a fox, it was basically a sign that she was about to lie.

    "How is this a lie? He can still make a sure profit by doing this business with us."

    "Then do you really want to bring this thing over and sell it in the future?"

    "If you still have to travel between two places, just bring some over."

    "You're not tired either." Walking for more than half a year is no joke.

    "It's quite tiring. Who would really go all the way for these things?"

    "The fat boss has been waiting for a long time."

    "Haha, he won't wait."

    "Why?" Their conversation just now clearly hinted at future business, didn't it?

    "When you think about it, you will understand. Who would really wait?"

    "Tch, after all, you are still lying."

    "Wrong, this is misleading."

    "This is even worse!"

    "Boy, I have money in my hand now" Chen Qiao said on his face, come and please me quickly.

    "Dad, that's a lot of money. Let's go get some food. You were so awesome just now. The boss was so stunned by your deception" Maixi was really good at it.

    The father and son who were following behind had long been used to the interaction between Chen Qiao and Mai Xi, and were basically used to it.  Baya didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that his youngest son was taught like this by Chen Qiao.

    Dilla chewed the maltose that Chen Qiao bought for him happily. This thing is so sweet and delicious!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
