Chapter 172 Meeting acquaintances

Su Ying looked at the crowd coming in and out of the gate and said, "I'll go in and have a look later, you wait outside the gate."

Hu Wei's face changed slightly when he heard this, "Miss Su, there are thousands of officers and soldiers guarding this pass, you can't act impulsively."

The corners of Su Ying's eyes twitched, dare to think that he would fail by force.

"I will not force my way in, I will find a way to get in."

Huwei wanted to ask Su Ying what he could do, but in a blink of an eye Su Ying had already walked towards the gate.

She looked at the carriages lined up to enter, and slipped under the carriages when no one was looking.

Hu Wei saw Su Ying hiding under the car from a distance, with cold sweat on his forehead, he hurried forward to stop him, but it was too late, the carriage started and walked to the officers and soldiers guarding the pass.

The officers and soldiers went to the front of the car for questioning, and then began to check around the car body. When watching the officers and soldiers squatting down to check the bottom of the car, Huwei clenched his fists, fearing that in case...

To his surprise, the officers and soldiers stood up after checking the bottom of the car, and let the carriage go in as if they hadn't seen anything.

Hu Wei was amazed to see that he had used this method to enter the customs before, but the officers and soldiers here checked very strictly, and immediately found him hiding under the car. If he hadn't run fast enough that time, Already been caught.

He didn't understand how Su Ying managed to escape the search of officers and soldiers.

Of course, Huwei would not have thought that Su Ying would slip into the space when the officers and soldiers came to check, and she would come out again after a certain time, and thus successfully escaped the officers and soldiers' search.

The carriage soon arrived in Guannei, but there was still a certain distance between Guannei and the inner city market.

I don't know how long it took, Su Ying finally felt that the surrounding environment became lively, and the sounds of pedestrians and yelling became more frequent.

When the carriage passed by a quiet street, she let go of her hand and left under the carriage.

Su Ying stood up from the ground, patted the dust on her body, looked around, and walked to the street.

Because this is the nearest town to the pass, there are people from all over the world, and the business is very prosperous. Although the streets and shops are not elegant, the flow of people is very large.

Su Ying stopped a passerby to ask where the rice noodle shop was, and then went there.

"You little thief, don't run away!"

Su Ying was walking on the street, when a man ran towards her with a hurried expression, and a man chased after him frantically.

Seeing that man ran up to Su Ying, she slowly stretched out her foot and tripped him.

"ah!"

The man fell hard and ate shit!

The person chasing behind also took the opportunity to catch up and grabbed the person on the ground and beat him up, "You bastard, if you dare to steal my purse, see if I don't beat you to death!"

"Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will never dare again, never dare again."

The person who was robbed took back his purse, and when he was about to turn him over to the government, the other party ran away.

"Little bastard, let me meet you next time and see if I won't kill you!" The man turned his eyes to Su Ying, just in time to meet Su Ying's gaze. look.

"Miss Su?"

Su Ying recognized Zhang Liang when he chased him, "Master Zhang."

Zhang Liang never expected to meet Su Ying in his lifetime. He was very excited, but thinking of Su Ying's identity, he took her to a wing room of a restaurant.

"Miss Su, you helped me again today, I am really grateful."

Actually, he doesn’t have much silver in his purse, what is important is his seal, which is as important to a businessman as the government’s official seal, if lost, he is afraid of being impersonated.

Su Ying did not expect to meet Zhang Liang here, "Didn't you settle down in Zhuzhou City before, why did you come here?"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It is true that we have already settled down in Zhuzhou City. My friends in Zhuzhou said that there are business opportunities here, so I will come and have a look."

Su Ying remembered that Zhang Liang was in the rice grain business, what business opportunities could there be in this ghostly place?

Seeing Su Ying's doubts, Zhang Liang explained: "Ms. Su doesn't know something. I have a good friend who knows astronomy and geography. Every year he observes the sky and can accurately tell the changes of the weather. Where will there be drought? Where there is still waterlogging, he said a while ago that this year will be a cold winter, which is much colder than before, so let me stock up on charcoal now if I have the opportunity, and sell it when the demand comes up."

"This side is rich in charcoal?"

"Yes, the trees here are lush and the climate is suitable for making charcoal. A lot of silver silk charcoal from Chu State is transported back from here."

Su Ying really doesn't know about this.

But he wants to buy charcoal, which is exactly what she wants, "I just made a batch of charcoal, I wonder if Master Zhang will accept it?"

Zhang Liang is now very curious about Su Ying's leaving the country. After thinking about it, he asked, "Ms. Su has been in the customs?"

Su Ying shook her head, "No, I've already arrived in the northern wilderness, but in order to survive, I had to find a way to support myself, so I figured out a way to burn charcoal, and today I will sell it outside the customs, but there are not many people buying and selling outside the customs. I'll try to get in and see."

Zhang Liang didn't ask how Su Ying came in, but said: "I don't know where Su's charcoal is, can you take it down and have a look."

"Outside the customs."

"Then Miss Su is waiting here for a while, I will go and tell my friends first, and then I will go out with Miss Su to have a look, and I will be back in half an hour at most."

"good."

As soon as Zhang Liang left, Su Ying followed. She wanted to take advantage of this gap to resupply as much as possible.

Su Ying went to the rice store and asked about the price of rice noodles.

"This rice costs eight copper coins a catty, and coarse grains only cost five copper coins a catty. Let's see which one do you want?" The clerk of the rice shop came out and greeted enthusiastically.

"Do you want more or less?"

"See how much you want?"

"All, including your inventory, Chen Mi also wants."

The buddy was stunned. He thought it was a young lady at home, but he didn't expect to be a big customer. The buddy didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly called the boss from the backyard.

The boss has obviously never encountered this kind of thing before. He trotted all the way when he came out, so he was afraid that he would miss it. "Little lady, how much do you want?"

"how much do you have?"

"Well, there are a lot of stocks in small shops. There are five hundred catties of rice, two hundred catties of coarse grains, and two bags of old rice. Look at this..."

"Give me the lowest price, and I'll take it all."

"You... really want it?"

Su Ying directly put a small piece of gold on the counter, "I really want it."

The boss's eyes widened when he saw Jin Zi, "I will give you one copper plate less per catty, so I can't say any more."

Su Ying felt that the price was acceptable to her, so she bought them all with a wave of her hand.
