Chapter 130 Alien profiteers
I asked Duan Jingze: "You have been in Xima Town. Do you know which place?"
Duan Jingze thought calmly for a while: "Well... how can I say this place? It's not orthodox like in our city, but it's almost the same. It's really similar to the ancient kilns. The common currency here is gold and copper coins. This currency is released by the Xima tribe himself!" tqr1
"What does it mean?" I was a little curious.
Duan Jingze said: "Just like a government, the people and farmers in Xima Town can use some agricultural products or useful things to exchange for some currency at Xima Palace. At that time, these currencies will naturally be circulated in Xima Town. Otherwise, why do you think the Xima tribe can support so many people? In fact, they are all supported by the people in this town and some nearby mountain people..."
"So that's it..." After listening to Duan Jingze's explanation, I realized that money is a necessary process for civilized exhibitions, and even in remote places, there will be some.
Just like in ancient times, people "barter" the truth.
At this time, the entire Sima town is still in the prosperity of lights, and these residents in strange clothes are setting up stalls to hawk in the streets.
Most of these people sell animals, and some of them sell some common crops in rural China. The more advanced one is that there is a stall owner who kills a wild badger, hangs it up, and then grills it with some charcoal fire.
This is probably the simple version of the barbecue stall?
On the streets, there were also people from the Sima tribe and the Cat tribe patrolling.
It was only then that I noticed that on both sides of the road in Xima Town, there was a very small beacon tower every four or five meters, about two meters high. It seemed that Xima Town used such beacon towers to illuminate Xima Town at night.
Whenever the Sima and Cat tribes pass by me, I feel a little nervous, afraid of being revealed, but I wear a hat and they don’t say they want to come up and check it out.
Duan Jingze is the most familiar with Xima Town. He walked in the front, kept paying attention to the gazes of passers-by around him, and then flashed into an alley.
Damn, everyone is wearing a hat. No one sees what you look like. Do you still need to sneak in a kiln?
Lei Jie and I looked at each other and followed Duan Jingze. Duan Jingze then took off his hat.
Duan Jingze said: "People are ashamed. The women here are not afraid of someone to crack down on pornography, but are afraid of being seen by acquaintances."
I see this alley is not very deep or very hidden.
There are low dirt houses on both sides of the surrounding area, and the dirt houses are brightly lit. It may not be too late yet, so most people in Xima Town have not yet rested.
I vaguely saw a few women standing under the beacon tower in front of me. The women were covered with veils, a bit like the costume style of the Western Regions in ancient times.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered a serious problem. Do we have the currency common to Xima Town on us? Damn, can we just steal people?
I told Lei Jie about my worries. Lei Jie pondered for a while and said, "I've come here, go in and take a look! If it really doesn't work...just grab it..."
Alas, I'm going to upgrade from a thief to a robber?
Duan Jingze had already walked under the two beacon towers in front of him. The women were staring at Duan Jingze in a daze, their eyes a little hollow.
At this time, I and Lei Jie also took off the hat and walked up.
We had just arrived next to Duan Jingze, and a man in a coarse cloth coat walked out of a dirt house next to him.
"Brother, is it a night out, or a fast food?" the man asked Duan Jingze.
I'm going, is it popular to pack nights and fast food on this Hokka Island?
I saw that although the man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, he had loose jeans and a very thick dark red belt. His clothes looked very similar to those of modern urban people, and his accent was particularly similar to those of people from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Duan Jingze looked back at me, I stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone here called Docia..."
"Docia?" the man shook his head: "No, why, brother, have you been here before?"
I coughed twice and said, "No, but I heard from one of my buddies that a měi named Docia here is a good job, so I came here to try it out!"
I said, "Since there is no, let's go and ask somewhere else!"
"Hey, brother, wait!" The man grabbed me and patted his chest and said, "It's not me who is bragging. Please ask me who is in this business in Xima Town. Who doesn't know me, Liu Zhijie? You guys are waiting for me here. I'll ask now and bring you people here!"
At this time, I saw Liu Zhijie waving his hand to the earthen house. Then, two shirtless men wearing leather vests walked out of it. Liu Zhijie whispered something in their ears. The two men nodded and then got into the earthen house.
Liu Zhijie walked up with a smile and said, "Are you... the ones from Hukashima or outsiders?"
Lei Jie said: "Where do you think you are from our accent?"
Liu Zhijie looked at the three of us and said, "Absolutely outsiders, you are not from the island of Saku, are you?"
I smiled and said, "I think you are not..."
Liu Zhijie laughed: "Of course I am not... I am from Chongqing. I was trapped in the Shilu Island and seeking survival everywhere. Until I came to Xima Town and participated in the carnival of the snake god. Our team failed, and I was the only one who survived... I didn't want to live the kind of life that I had been full and hungry before, so I opened the first one in Xima Town... Haha, you know!"
"Damn..." I said with some depression: "I also said how could there be such a place in this small town of Xima? It turned out that it was brought by outsiders..."
Liu Zhijie smiled murmurly: "Brother..." As he said that, he patted my shoulder: "Don't be surprised. I have been on the Hulu Island for five years. Since I can't get out, I can only live here well. To live a good life, I have to find a way... There are business opportunities in every place, and Xima Town is empty. I just like this business opportunity..."
Liu Zhijie said proudly, "I don't want to get rich. Be a rich man. The best life in this small town of Xima is nothing more than living comfortably and having meat to eat... Ask these natives, who feels a little guilty? In this small town of Xima, everything you do is unrestrained, including...sha rén, robbery..."
