Chapter 0002 Market

The alley was deep and winding, and Jia Yun kept changing directions, fearing that someone was following her behind.

If he really did not identify the wrong person, then the jade he picked up just now is very likely to be the psychic jade worn by Jia Baoyu.

To the Jia family, ten taels of silver was nothing, but if this piece of jade was lost, it would be a big deal.

With excitement and anxiety, Jia Yun came to a quiet and remote place and stopped. She carefully took out the jade from her arms and took a closer look. The jade was as big as a sparrow egg, as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, and in five colors.

Pattern wrapping.

Seal text on the front: Psychic gem, don’t lose it, don’t forget it, may your immortality and longevity be prosperous!

The seal text on the back reads: The first is to eliminate evil spirits, the second is to cure unjust diseases, and the third is to know misfortunes and blessings!

"It is indeed that piece of jade!" Jia Yun took a deep breath and thought to herself.

He didn't want to return the jade to Jia Baoyu because he felt that the jade was destined to him. As for why he felt this way, he couldn't explain clearly.

"The first thing you need to do is to shed blood to identify the master!" Jia Yun thought for a moment, then bit her finger and dripped blood on the jade.

The blood dripped on the jade and disappeared immediately, and the seal characters on the jade surface gradually faded.

"Damn it, there's not enough blood. It's done so quickly. Keep biting!" Jia Yun felt furious when she saw that the bitten finger was no longer bleeding.



On Ningrong Street, Jia Baoyu murmured as he ran, feeling something was wrong.

He quickly stopped and rubbed himself for a moment. Suddenly his heart trembled and he thought to himself: "What's wrong, where is my jade?"

I saw that the place where the jade was set in the gem ring around his neck was empty. Although he usually liked to throw it in front of his sisters when he had nothing to do, but when he really lost it, he suddenly became afraid.

"What to do? Where did you lose it? School? Mansion? Street? Teahouse? Spring House? Theater? When did you lose it?" Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his eyes were dazed, he was sweating coldly, his whole body was stiff, and his lips were trembling.

.

"Second Master Bao..." Ming Yan, who was panting from behind, shouted loudly, which immediately woke up Jia Baoyu.

At this time, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought to himself: "I can't go back home in a hurry now, and I can't let people know that I lost my jade, otherwise the master will give me another easy beating, so why not

I simply took the money and went to find someone to make an exact one and wear it."

He has worn that jade since he was a child. No matter the size or shape, he knows it clearly. As long as the craftsman he finds is skilled, he will not be disappointed.

As for jade, it is not difficult to find. He also has a piece of fist-sized, unprocessed mutton-fat jade in his room, which is enough for use. It is similar to the material of the jade he wears.

There was no better way at the moment. Jia Baoyu turned around and took out all the banknotes and money on Mingyan. There must be several hundred taels in total, thinking that the wages should be enough.

So he quickly ordered Mingyan: "Mingyan, hurry back to your house to find Sister Xiren and ask her to bring you the piece of jade I put in the treasure box and bring it to me. I need it urgently right now.

Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

Mingyan was sweating profusely from exhaustion and was about to mutter a few words when she saw Jia Baoyu's eyes widened with a fierce look on her face, so she didn't dare to say anything and trotted to Jia's house.



After absorbing enough blood, the psychic jade shimmered and went straight to Jia Yun's eyebrows.

Before he could react, the jade stone disappeared.

Jia Yun was overjoyed and secretly thought that it was indeed a spiritual treasure. After the jade got into his mind, not only did it not make him feel any discomfort, but it also made him clear-headed, and many vague memories of his previous life flashed back like knife carvings.

What made him even more ecstatic was that inside the jade, there was actually a space of a hundred acres and a height of a hundred feet and a fountain as thick as a bowl. The gurgling spring water nourished the land in the space.

The land in space is circular. One hundred acres of land is more than 66,000 square meters, with a diameter of more than 250 meters and a circumference of more than 900 meters.

In addition, this spiritual treasure also comes with a training method called "Yin Yang Wuji Gong", with a total of twenty-four chapters, which are the changes of the original twenty-four characters on the spiritual jade.

Among them, the first twelve chapters are practiced by men, and the last twelve chapters can only be practiced by women.

Jia Yun didn't know whether this technique was powerful or not, but he believed that any technique that could be passed down in this way would not be any worse.

"First go to the street to buy some things and then start practicing the exercises." Jia Yun made up her mind.

The flow rate of time in space is different from that outside. One day outside is one year in space.

Only by practicing the technique can his true body enter the space and not be affected by the speed of space and time. At the same time, he can also have the means to use the various functions of the space.

For example, planting, once you have the skills, you can plant whatever you want in the space at will, and when the planter matures, you can also do some simple rough processing, such as rice hulling, wheat flour, etc., with just one thought.

That's it.

"Sure enough!" Jia Yun chuckled, feeling excited. After wiping off the dust on his body and the rouge on his chest, he took the silver that Jia Baoyu had just thrown to him and walked to the market.

The capital is the largest commercial and trade center in the country and a gathering place for goods from all over the world.

Major shops were concentrated around the imperial city, and gradually developed into a huge comprehensive commercial area, supplemented by various specialized special markets, such as the inner market, outer market, lantern market, Xiao market, temple market, etc.

Make the capital more prosperous.

The so-called inner market is a trading market licensed to serve the palace and officials within the imperial city. It is located within the imperial city and opens outside the Xuanwu Gate of the Forbidden City. Trade is conducted on the fourth day of every month.

The goods traded in the inner city are of very high specifications and grades, and there are also many rare treasures, cultural relics, and antiques handed down from ancient times, which are not easy for outsiders to see.

Huangmiao City and Tudimiao City are called "outer cities".

Chenghuangmiao Market is located on Huangmiao Street to the north of downtown entrance. It opens on the first, fifteenth and 25th of every month.

At the temple fair, ancient and modern books, antiques and curios, jade and jewelry, foreign satin and Shu brocade, ivory and rhinoceros horns, internal treasures, foreign treasures, etc., which are difficult to see on ordinary days, can be seen here at a glance.

The Tutu Temple Market is located on Tutu Temple Street outside Xuanwumen. It opens on the third, thirteenth and 23rd of every month.

The temple fair is crowded with people, and its bustling level is comparable to that of the Huguo Temple Fair and the Longfu Temple Fair.

In the morning market, trading starts automatically at dawn and ends at dawn.

The reason why Dawn City was chosen as the city at dawn was because some poor officials and children of wealthy families in the capital made a living by selling their old belongings, and because they were afraid of being seen by acquaintances, they could only choose to sell them before dawn.

There are also thieves who sell their stolen goods in the dark, which initially had a somewhat shameful and disgraceful meaning, so it is also called the black market or the ghost market.

Xiaoshi is mainly for the exchange and sale of secondhand goods, with a wide range of goods, including furniture and woodware, clothing and cloth, books, newspapers, pens and inkstones, gold, silver, jewelry, and daily necessities.

It's hard to tell the real from the fake, and the high and low are all mixed up.

Jia Yun went to a market with ten taels of silver in her arms and bought some grain seeds, such as rice, wheat, soybeans, millet and sorghum, weighing a pound of each.

I also bought vegetable seeds, including winter melon, pumpkin, cucumber, loofah, peas, eggplant, cabbage, radish, lettuce, chives, green onions, leeks, rape, peppers, ginger, etc. I bought some of everything.

After buying the seeds, Jia Yun looked at a spice shop and thought to herself: "Then it's time to spend money."

He planned to buy some marinades to prepare when he went back. The marinades had a strong aroma and were mostly used as spices in ancient times. They were much more expensive than food.

"Star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, nard, fennel, baijiu, roux, amomum villosum, bay leaves, male cloves, female cloves, sand ginger, galangal, lemongrass, licorice, grass fruit..."

Buy less of what can be used as seeds, and buy more of what can't be used as seeds.

For example, cinnamon bark can only be obtained by planting cinnamon trees in the ground. If you want to use it now, you have to spend money to buy it first.

When Jia Yun came out of the market carrying a sack of things, he didn't have a penny on him.

The grains and vegetable seeds didn't cost much, mainly because the spices were too expensive, so he didn't buy more.

"I was lucky enough to meet a merchant and buy some potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn cobs."

Arriving at the place where the person was being carried, Jia Yun threw the sack into space, carefully recalled the memory of the original owner, and discovered that potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn were not grown on a large scale in the Central Plains during this era.

In addition, he also bought two toothbrushes.

Today's toothbrushes are basically the same as those of later generations, except they are not made of wood.
