The journey to District 53 was smooth and there were no accidents along the way.As we got closer to District 53, there were more and more people on the road.It can be seen that many of them are from other gathering areas.Ding Chen still remembers that in the early winter of last year, when he left District 53 with Cold Moon Condensation, the outskirts of the main city were in a depression, not only was it difficult to see pedestrians, but the caravans were completely extinct, and people would rather take a long detour to District 49 than pass through the territory of District 53.At that time, when they were staying in the residents' homes, they were also met with a rout.Before that, Lao K and the madman's subordinates also took turns harassing the residents in the suburbs, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the people were not living well.But now, the pedestrians on the road are constantly coming and going, which is completely different from Ding Chen's previous impression.Most of these pedestrians came from caravans from major gathering areas, and many of them came to try their luck when the winter had just passed and the roads were passable because they had heard that District 53 was being expanded and needed a large number of various supplies.At the same time, many civilians from all over the country came to find a way out.These people and Ding Chen's party are very different in terms of clothing and equipment, although the civilians who come to look for job opportunities rarely have horses, even if they are caravans, there are not so many horses, small caravans can't afford to raise them, large caravans can afford the consumption of motor vehicles, and they won't raise war horses, which need to be worried about livestock a lot, so Ding Chen and others traveled all the way, and many people speculated that this group of people was likely to sell horses.After all, the part-time workers will not be so popular, and the caravans will not be so few.So there are even people who take the initiative to talk to them on the road and ask about the price of horses.After all, everyone has a love for horses, and some people with a small net worth still want to try what it feels like to code themselves.Ding Chen ignored these inquiries and just urged the horse forward.The increase in pedestrians on the road is only relatively speaking, far from the extent of blocking traffic, even if you meet a large group of people, you don't want to cause trouble when you see a strong man like Ding Chen carrying a weapon.At noon, I haven't arrived at the main city, but the village on the side of the road has come out, in early spring, the earth has not thawed, naturally no one works, but there are already some diligent people who have set up sheds on the roadside to sell water and food, looking at the feeling of the junction of urban and rural a long time ago.Some bold people saw Ding Chen's gang and came up to peddle business and persuade them to eat here.Albara and the others couldn't help but hesitate when they saw such a lively place for the first time.There is a lack of cloth on the grassland, so Battle and the others are wearing leather robes, although the effect of keeping out the cold is good, but now that the weather is getting warmer, it is a little unbearable, he has open arms, and he does not wear a hat, this image does not look like a good person.Seeing that Erdemutu and the others were moved, he reprimanded: "If you are hungry, you will immediately nibble on some dry food, and eat again when you enter the city." ”Ding Chen smiled and asked the person who solicited business: "What kind of money do you charge here" Many large gathering areas have their own circulating currency, mainly for the convenience of tax collection.Ding Chen remembered that in the past, the people in District 53 liked to collect Coke bottle caps, and then the paper money of District 11, but they were not interested in the official currency of the Republic.The main reason for this is that the goods of the 53rd arrondissement mainly come from the 11th and 49th arrondissements, both of which of course give priority to the currency of the 11th arrondissement.Unexpectedly, when the man saw that there was a business opportunity, he immediately smiled and said to Ding Chen: "As long as you have it, we will accept everything." ”Seeing that Ding Chen didn't believe it, he quickly ran back to the shed behind him, and actually took out a piece of plastic printing paper.Erdemutu was literate a lot, so he came to Ding Chen's side to take a closer look, and exclaimed: "This character is so well written, this paper is so smooth, how is it written" The man looked up at Erdemutu who was sitting on a horse, although he did not speak, he obviously despised this group of dirt buns in his stomach.Ding Chen smiled mildly and said, "This is printed out by a machine and sealed." ”Then he said in amazement: "This is actually a currency price for the official coin." ”The man looked at Ding Chen with some surprise, raised his thumb and said, "You know the plastic seal" After thinking about it, he exclaimed: "You know the goods." ”"It's going to cost a lot of money."
Ding Chen said: "Isn't it good to take a copy of paper" The man said with some pride: "This is sent by Adjutant Ye, as long as you open the door for business, you will have one, and it doesn't cost money." ”Ding Chen's heart moved, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, and asked again: "You are the closest to District 11 here, why do you use official currency for the benchmark price here, and even the banknotes of District 11 are more expensive" "This is to deduct the handling fee." ”The man seemed to have explained a lot about this problem, and said with ease, "We only use official currency here, and when we receive foreign currency, we have to go to the bank to exchange it, and then our bank has to settle with the banks in other gathering areas, so the extra money is used as a handling fee." ”Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and said with some reluctance: "If you are too expensive, you can go to the city bank to exchange it yourself, it is a little cheaper than spending it with me, but it is not troublesome." ”Ding Chen was stunned, shook it, jumped off the horse and said, "You are honest. ”There are a lot of people soliciting customers on the roadside, but Ding Chen found that as long as one person talks to a guest, the others are waiting next to him, and he will not rush up and scare the guest away.When this person spoke, there were also a few people watching the excitement on the side, waiting for Ding Chen to refuse and then go up again, and now seeing that Ding Chen had the intention of taking care of this person's business, the others had no hope, and most people began to look for new targets, but there was a quick-talking person who explained: "This is also stipulated by Adjutant Ye, if he doesn't give you what he says, you can sue him for fraud when you turn around." ”The person who talked to Ding Chen was not angry, and simply pretended not to hear.When Ding Chen left the thirteenth district, Ding Chensai gave him a lot of money, but there were too few places to spend money along the way, and almost everyone bartered, but there were many places willing to accept Coke bottle caps.It's a pity that Ding Chen is only active in the city, so of course he won't bring such a cumbersome thing.In fact, if he hadn't been running around to get Ding Chen in those days, most of them wouldn't even bother to bring money, so Ding Chen had no place to spend money along the way.Seeing him dismount, Battle, though reluctant, had no choice but to follow.However, seeing the elated faces of Erdemutu and the others, it was not easy to say anything.The guy beckoned everyone into the shed, and he helped Albara and the others park their horses and carts in a nearby open space, patting his chest and saying that there was someone to take care of it here, and if he lost something, he would pay for it, so that Albara could rest assured.Albara was cautious, of course he didn't believe it, and insisted on staying and watching, and the man was not reluctant.Ding Chen first looked at the price list when he entered the shed, and found that there were not many types of drinking water here, and the price was still cheap, but he didn't see where the kitchen was, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.There are two other middle-aged people, a man and a woman, who are greeted by two other middle-aged people in this shed, and it seems that they are a family with the guys outside.The person outside is only in charge of soliciting customers, but now there are more than a dozen people, and it is full, and the partner who solicited passengers is helping to arrange seats, listened to his question, and said with a smile: "It is said that this can't tell you, but in fact, there is nothing to hide, we are a collective kitchen, everyone places an order in one place, so in fact, no matter which house you eat in, it is made by a master chef, if you listen to who bragged that their own food is better than others, that is bragging, just smoke him." ”Battle and the others only felt that this fifty-three district was full of strangeness, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why is this?"
"You think, in our place, a few months ago, every family still couldn't eat enough, and it would be good to have mixed porridge to drink, how could anyone cook, so Adjutant Ye came up with such a way, those who cook only cook, and those who sell rice only sell, not only taste good, but also ensure that it is clean, if you don't believe that the kitchen is over there, you go to see it yourself, there are special people to watch, and the chef himself is not allowed to go in if he is sick." ”Battle and the others were only amazed, Ding Chen had already guessed that Adjutant Ye was most likely Ye Dai at this time, but he didn't know how she became an adjutant, and when he was about to ask, he heard someone shouting outside the shed, "Oh no, someone has used a knife." ”Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked out of the shed, and saw several people surrounding his car from a distance, talking to Albara.aa2705221，，； mobile phone reading,
