The Story of a Young Man Who Traveled Through Time and Space to Farm

Chapter 70

Yonghua Street is a large ancient commercial street. There is a main street, and some small streets and alleys are formed between the courtyards.

Of course, because the courtyards are built irregularly. Because the streets generated by the courtyards are also winding and complex.

Everyone divides Yonghua Street into four major blocks according to the courtyards that are close or together as a whole.

It is assumed that the end close to the city gate is the front street, the two blocks in the middle are the middle street, and the back block is the back street.

The place where Zhang Wuliang set up a stall during the Lantern Festival belongs to the front street. The middle street is divided into two parts by the Wanyuan River where lanterns are set off during the Lantern Festival. Baiyufang is located in the front middle street.

Because the middle street is adjacent to the river, it is the most densely populated place in Yonghua Street. Every day, some goods are transported by the river to the shops or small docks built along the river.

However, the goods transported along the river cannot be placed at the dock. Therefore, a profession was born in Wanyuan River - porters. Porters helped move the things of each family to the place where they needed them, and then charged money according to the length of the journey and the amount of things. Porters usually moved on both sides of the Wanyuan River, and occasionally took some work of delivering things to various villages. When there was no work, they would rest in a corner of the alley near the river, and those who needed porters would go there. And that corner of the alley happened to be in the alley next to Baiyufang.

Zhang Wuliang came to the town this time, not only to buy materials for making peach blossom wine, but also some other things, such as fish, meat, oil, salt, and snacks, and bought a large basket, just in time to take them back.

Zhang Wuliang had lunch at Baiyufang and prepared to go to the back alley to find someone.

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Zhang Zhenwen also stood up with him: "Don't you want to check the accounts?"

"No, let's do it together next time." For convenience, Zhang Wuliang now checks all the accounts together at the end of the month. This time he came to the town just to buy things: "Do you have anything to take back?"

Zhang Zhenwen shook his head: "My brother always takes back what the family needs."

Zhang Zhenzong needs fresh ducks every day for the roast duck shop, and the town can't raise too many ducks.

So ducks are delivered to the town every two days. In the past, Zhang Zhenzong could deliver only ten ducks a day, but now it has increased to twenty a day and two people are needed. After all, ducks must be delivered alive and slaughtered.

Delivered in the morning, sold roast ducks in the afternoon, marinated ducks and returned to Taohe Village. The time on the road was one or two hours, and carrying ducks was actually a very tiring thing.

Thinking of Zhang Wuliang, he said: "Second brother, you should pay more attention to see if there are people willing to sell cows. I think whether it is transporting things or plowing the fields, we must have a cow."

Zhang Zhenwen knew this truth: "I know, don't worry."

Zhang Wuliang nodded. In fact, if Zhang Zhenzong did not return to Taohe Village today. In addition, the brewing of peach blossom wine could not wait, Zhang Wuliang could have asked him to take the wine back when he returned, but there was no way, so he could only find a porter.

In the back alley, there were three or five porters with poles and ropes at their feet, sitting in the shade and chewing dry food, waiting for business to come, and saw someone walking towards this side.
