Old general Peng listened to Gu shouxin’s thoughts and didn’t say much. He just let him do it. If he missed someone, he would be punished every day. He could be punished to make some contributions to kun city.
There weren’t many people in kun city, so the Gu family didn’t plan to sell New Year’s goods in the twelfth lunar month.
Grandpa and Grandma Gu chose a few kinds of food that the children liked to eat and made New Year’s food for them at home. The others were busy with their own things.
Soon, it was the 20th day of the 12th lunar month.
Cai Xiaolian planned to take Gu Xin and Gu si to the trading area of several countries to take a look. They had also saved up some embroideries and facial wash sets in the past half a month.
Initially, Lin Yiqian had wanted to bring Gu Nian along. However, Gu Nian was too engrossed in the laboratory. The cement was about to be produced and she had no interest in doing business at all.
Cai Xiaolian made an appointment with Peng Yizhu and the fourth Mrs. Peng, and she took the two children to the trading area.
Peng Yizhu and the fourth lady of the Peng family had been waiting there for a long time. This time, they had brought Cheng Huaiyu and a thin little boy with them. He was the eldest son of the fourth lady of the Peng family, Peng mu. He looked gentle and didn’t look like a son of a general at all.
It was said that this child’s health had always been poor due to his congenital deficiency, and he was the only boy in the Peng family who intended to study.
Peng mu greeted Cai Xiaolian, Gu Xin, and Gu si obediently. After recognizing them, he stood beside Cheng Huaiyu.
The few of them entered the trading area.
The trading area of kun city was huge, and there were Peng family Army guards all around.
Cai Xiaolian finally saw the bustling market, and she also saw many people from the neighboring country who looked different from the people of the great Zhou Dynasty.
Peng Yizhu and the fourth lady of Peng family introduced Cai Xiaolian to each other. Among them, only the people of langge Kingdom looked similar to the people of great Zhou. The others were not from great Zhou.
In the goddess Kingdom, the women were all very forthright, and their voices were loud. Their actions were more masculine than men’s, and the men around them were like young women. Furthermore, these women were all wearing gold bracelets, gold hairpins, gold earrings, and even their clothes were decorated with gold and silver.
The people of Jin nanguo were dark-skinned, but not like the African people. Compared to most ordinary people of the great Zhou Dynasty, they had a special feature. They carried all kinds of jade accessories and had less gold and silver.
The people in the Yun nation were tall and strong, with deep facial features and big eyes. They sold fur, fresh beef, and mutton.
The sand divine Kingdom looked similar to the Yun nation, and most of them sold spices.
Of course, there were also some handmade products in these countries. Unlike in Xing Nan country, they could not directly enter the capital to trade with the Imperial court. They only did some small business in kun city, and most of them were ordinary people.
The great Zhou’s merchants were basically made of cloth, tea, and other things that other countries did not have.
The entire trading area did not necessarily have to be bartered for items. All of them could be purchased with gold and silver. They did not accept silver notes or copper coins, only gold and silver.
Cai Xiaolian looked around and went straight to Jin nanguo’s stall. The stall was full of stones. Cai Xiaolian knew that they were raw stones.
“How much are you selling for?” she asked.
This stall was relatively calm. The boss was a skinny old man, but his eyes were very sharp.
He looked at the maidservant behind Cai Xiaolian and asked, ” “Ten taels of silver each. Of course, you can use other things to exchange for it. Madam, did your servant girl bring tea leaves or cloth? Do you have any fresh ones?”
