Chapter 1020 Ice Muscle Grass
Two maids each carried a tray with ethnic costumes on it.
Invite Gu Yao and Si Chen into the house and ask them to sit down.
The two maids asked the two men to change their clothes first, and then adjusted their headdresses.
It took more than an hour to deal with the two young ladies.
"This dress is nice! If I don't open my mouth to speak, I will just be a local." Gu Yao stood in front of the bronze mirror, holding up her heavy ethnic costume skirt, and turned around in front of the mirror.
"Sister, do you think I am no different from the locals?" After looking in the mirror, Si Chen asked Gu Yao to comment.
"We haven't even hit the streets yet, so I don't know exactly what the locals look like. If we go out and take a look, maybe we can tell them apart by their faces. We've already had breakfast, so let's go out now and eat outside at noon!" Gu Yao didn't like staying in the large courtyard at all. It was so boring, like a cage.
"Let's go now. I heard that the specialty here is rice noodles. Let's eat the snacks here and let sister eat her fill." Si Chen said unconsciously.
Gu Yao was stunned. Rice noodles?
Are the rice noodles here the same as the ones used to make vermicelli and noodles, all in strip-shaped shape? Or is there some other kind of rice noodles?
Is this the rice noodles she imagined?
Gu Yao is now extremely surprised.
But I didn't ask deliberately. I found out during lunch.
If the rice noodles are what he imagined, then his vermicelli business will soon be imitated by others.
He had been selling it for several months. He did not find anyone else imitating it in the capital, so he thought that there were no such things as dried noodles or vermicelli in this era.
Only hand-cut fresh noodles.
As long as someone observes carefully and uses divergent thinking to make it, he or she can imitate it quickly.
Their business wants to grow in the long term, expand production, and go on the market on a large scale.
If others imitate us in the future, they will definitely start a price war and the products will become cheaper and cheaper.
Then Gu Yao might not be able to make much money.
But he can still make some money in the next two years.
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until I saw it with my own eyes before making any comments.
Gu Yao and Si Chen got into the palace's luxurious carriage and entered the market.
Although the border has been affected, the impact is not significant.
The land here is fertile and people's lives can go on normally.
If we talk about poverty, everyone is poor.
As soon as Gu Yao went out on the street, she saw that the local men and women were generally dark-skinned.
The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Even though Sichen rode here from the capital during this period of time, he still experienced many hardships and dangers on the way to the border.
None of them are as tanned as the locals.
Gu Yao's skin has always been as white and tender as a peeled egg.
Now at a glance, the skin is still so delicate.
After a few hours of rest, Gu Yao's condition was fully recovered.
The most common facial features of people here are flat noses.
Even if they changed into local clothes, they didn't look like locals.
Even if he wanted to make excuses now, he couldn't.
We can only blame them for being so good-looking.
It still attracted a lot of attention.
"Sister. There is really a big difference between us and the locals. I thought I got a lot darker on the way here. But now I finally see people who are darker than me." Si Chen returned to the palace and was depressed for a long time because of his own skin.
Now he saw that the local people had such dark faces, and there was no harm without comparison. His mood suddenly improved, and he was still the most handsome boy.
"Even in the north, many farmers have bad skin conditions, but it's still a little worse than here. People here have flatter noses, which is also a local feature." If someone has a high and straight nose, he must be mixed-race.
Fortunately, they brought face masks, which made it safer to walk on the street.
Who can blame them for being so good-looking?
Even the little maid who followed them had a veil on her face.
When the locals saw their attire, they thought they were some young lady and just took a look and went about their own business.
As I walked, I saw an old farmer setting up a stall on the ground.
There were dried mushrooms and some dried herbs on the ground, placed together in a mess.
When he saw one of the herbs, his eyes suddenly lit up.
There is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient in it. I didn’t expect to see it at a street stall.
There should be a clinic on the border. Even if the clinic here wants to make pills, it needs to use various medicinal materials.
This herb is ice muscle grass, which is also a life-saving herb.
Gu Yao walked up to the old man's stall and said, "There are so many kinds of dry goods on sale at your stall."
Gu Yao spoke Mandarin.
Unexpectedly, the old man spoke in Mandarin: "Little girl, look at what you want to buy? These dried mushrooms are all dried at home. They are very good. If you want them, I'll give them at a discount."
"Uncle, the things you sell here are too diverse! But you have so many things in your hands, these can be enough for two meals." Gu Yao said with a smile.
'This little girl is really a spendthrift! If you eat sparingly, the food on this stall can last for more than a month. If you eat dry food, you may finish it in two meals. Life is not easy nowadays. This little girl must be from a wealthy family and she doesn't know the sufferings of the world.'
"What this girl said is, if you can buy all the things they have, I will give you a lower price. I carried these things out from the mountains, and I sold them for silver and exchanged them for some food." The old man was telling the truth.
No matter how delicious mushrooms are, they are not as valuable as food.
Food is enough to fill you up, but mushrooms are not.
"Uncle, how much do you think these will cost?" Gu Yao blinked.
"Food is precious now. I have more than a dozen mouths to feed at home, so of course the more the better. We are out of food now, so you can give us as much as you want!" The old man sighed helplessly.
Gu Yao thought that the old man would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
There was a plant of Ice Muscle Grass mixed in it, and Gu Yao also wanted to complain about it so that it would not be so conspicuous.
Si Chen looked at the pile of things and found that they were just some useful stuff.
There are plenty of them in their palace.
"Sister, what do you want these for? We have plenty of them at home. If you want these mushrooms, I'll have someone pack some for you to take away when you leave." Si Chen looked at Sister Yao helplessly.
When the old man heard the girl next to him say this, he became anxious.
It's so hard to get someone to ask about it. If I continue talking about it, the girl who is getting paid might not buy it.
"Girl, you can give me any amount of money, as long as it's enough for our family to have a meal." The old man's face turned red with anxiety. His face was dark, so it was not very clear.
