Chapter 158
The four-story building is already one of the tallest buildings in the city. Feng Lan sat on the roof and could see the general layout of the city clearly, much clearer than she could see from the mountain through the city wall.
When it was dawn the next day, I noticed that the waiters in the restaurant had all gotten up, and someone in the backyard was constantly chopping wood and making a fire, boiling hot water for the guests early and ready to be called at any time.
Feng Lan sneaked out from the back door. She had no money on her, so she had to get some first before she could ask questions.
The only thing to be thankful for was that although the language here was strange, the game still turned on a language converter so she could understand it.
There were more and more people on the street. Feng Lan, dressed like an ordinary citizen, blended in well with the crowd.
Following the flow of people, Feng Lan found the city's morning market.
There are people coming and going on the street, and there are many small stalls on both sides. The more sophisticated ones push a small cart with two or three tables and chairs next to it. The ones with less business just have a cute stall. After the bill is paid, the customers will wrap the food in oil paper and leave with the food.
Besides this, there were also farmers who would carry two loads of emerald green vegetables early in the morning, walking through the streets and alleys shouting their wares. Occasionally, someone in the alley would hear them, open the door and pick up some, and the two would engage in a heated argument to save money...
"Your vegetables are old, worth at most two coppers a handful, and they've been spilled with water, so they're not fresh!"
"My lady, these are the tender shoots I just picked from the ground. Three coppers for a handful, no less!"
"Steamed buns! Big, fragrant buns! Vegetable buns are one copper coin each! Meat buns are two copper coins each!"
"Wontons! Wontons with thin skin and big fillings! Twelve copper coins a bowl!"
Early in the morning, there are many stalls selling breakfast food, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, wontons, meat patties, and noodle soup, all of which are steaming hot. At this time, most of the stalls selling other things are closed.
Feng Lan didn't see any yamen runners. She didn't know if it was too early or if they didn't charge stall fees.
She thought for a while, walked into the alley, put on her clothes inside out, revealing a different set of gray shorts, a headscarf on her head, and a little yellow foundation on her face. She looked like an early morning migrant worker.
Feng Lan contentedly picked out a basket of juicy, fist-sized, pink peaches from the supermarket. They had thin skin and sweet, crisp flesh. She also found a perfect bamboo backpack from the department store. There was no grass in it, so she put Huahua in it to let it swell up and act as a cushion.
Farmer Feng Lan carried a basket of peaches on his back and walked through the streets, officially starting to sell them.
"Selling peaches! Juicy peaches! Five coppers each! Thin skin and crispy flesh! Fragrant and sweet! Freshly picked peaches!"
Five copper coins each, which is more expensive than many breakfasts at the morning market. A palm-sized meat bun is only two copper coins each. Many people shook their heads when they heard this.
"This kid is selling too expensive!"
"Five copper coins each, could it be some kind of delicacy?"
"Only wealthy families can afford it!"
Feng Lan was shouting as she walked, but no one bought her peaches when she reached the end of the street. She picked up a peach and started to bite it. It was so tender that the juice flowed all over her hand after one bite. The sweet peach flavor wrapped in a thin layer of skin spread throughout the neighborhood in an instant, whetting people's appetites.
“What a fragrant peach!”
"Hey boy, come here! Let me see your peach."
Feng Lan turned around honestly and saw a girl wearing a light blue cotton skirt and a bun. She was holding a small basket in her hand and waved at her.
"It's the maid from Cui's house. Oh, that kid, what a stroke of luck!"
Feng Lan took another bite of the peach. The sweet fragrance of the peach was very tempting. It was said that the maid in Cui Mansion looked visibly more satisfied after smelling it.
Feng Lan listened to the words of the passerby and had a plan in mind, but she took out a peach from her backpack without any hesitation, with an excited expression on her face as if she had finally opened her business.
