The customs of Badi are different from other places; this is probably because Badi is trapped in the mountains, has inconvenient external transportation and is humid and rainy.

Due to this special climate, the people who migrated to Bashu in Qin quickly integrated into this special water and soil. After a long and century of changes, they became completely Bajun people.

In Bajun, there are many insects and snakes, and many places are in poverty and dangerous. Compared with Shu, it is inconvenient to farm more land. Therefore, in places where it is inconvenient to farm, people mobilize their wisdom to raise poultry and livestock, plant fruits, ramie, mulberry trees, raise silkworms, pick salt, cut bamboo, fishing, etc. in exchange for food and maintain their livelihood.

Coincidentally, there is Shu next to Badi.

Since the prefect Li Bing, Shu has become a treasure land for producing grain.

Therefore, the two counties complement each other. Although there is no question of mutual benefit and common prosperity, it is okay to say that mutual support is not a problem.

Therefore, studying the living conditions of Ba people is of course inseparable from talking about Shu people.

"...So, my father-in-law, you were also from Shu?" Ju Zizhou sat next to the father-in-law who was setting up a stall and helped him carve some words on the wild boar teeth talisman.

"Aweng, how do you sell this amulet?" A Ba Nu, wearing a thick fur and four or five amulets, asked at a slender amulet in front of Ju Zizhou.

"Six cents." The father-in-law answered immediately.

"Six cents, it's a bit expensive. Will three cents be sold?" Ba Nu narrowed her long phoenix eyes and immediately showed some disgust on her body: "Look at the cloud patterns on this amulet are all carved in a crooked manner. Six cents are definitely not worth it. Sell three cents to me!"

"Eight cents." Ju Zizhou smiled: "If you buy it, I can also engrave the names and greetings of you and your sweetheart on this amulet."

"Thank you?" Ba Nu wondered: "What?"

"Pray to the gods of heaven and earth that you will never be separated from your sweetheart for the rest of your life." Ju Zizhou said with a smile.

"Is it worth five dollars just by carving a few words?" Ba Nu's face was full of disgust, but she rubbed her fingers with her amulet.

Ju Zizhou shook his head: "How many words are these? This is a prayer to the gods of heaven and earth, and it is possible to obtain the blessings of the gods!"

"The gods?" Ba Nu laughed: "Of course my sister-in-law and I can only create the happiness of our sister-in-law. Why do we need to bless you with those things that I don't know if there is anything to bless me? Can they buy rouge for me or what?"

"Get a prize!" Ju Zizhou said, "I would rather believe that there is, but not that there is no. What if they really have the ability to bless you? Five money is not a big money. Even if you save it, you can't buy any rouge. Why don't you give it a try?"

"You... your mouth is really good." Ba Nu looked up and down at Ju Zizhou: "Okay, you can carve it, I bought it for eight yuan."

Ju Zizhou nodded, took the amulet and asked, "What's your sweetheart's name?"

"Mush Moon." Ba Nu said, "My name is Lan Ruo."

"A lifetime of one pair." Ju Zizhou lowered his head and carefully carved it.

The father-in-law blinked and was a little confused.

He knew that his amulet was not worth six, so of course he had a room for bargaining at this price, but... it was sold for eight?

He was a little confused.

After a moment, Ju Zizhou carved two words of congratulations and handed the amulet to Ba Nu Lanruo: "Eight coins."

"For you." Lan Ruo took the amulet and looked at it. Although she was not literate, she also felt that the amulet would look better after these words were added to it.

"It's good craftsmanship!" Lan Ruo looked at Ju Zizhou with admiration: "I took advantage of it today. Do you sell anything else here?"

Ju Zizhou glanced at the father-in-law beside him.

The father-in-law didn't understand what he meant for a long time: "If you don't sell it, I'll sell a talisman."

"Tsk." Ju Zizhou smacked his lips.

The Ba Nu laughed: "You are really a literate person who is very sensible. You just want to cheat me, right?"

"Where are the guests?" Ju Zizhou laughed with her: "When doing business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. What she wants is voluntary."

"You are a capable person!" The Ba girl stuffed the amulet into her chest and said, "Since you have nothing else to sell here, I'll leave."

She said, turned around and left casually.

Ju Zizhou shook his head and sighed: "I lost a deal, father-in-law!"

"I haven't lost it!" The father-in-law next to him smiled sly, looking a little like a child: "I didn't buy it today, and she will bring someone to buy it tomorrow."

Ju Zizhou was stunned and then smiled: "Yes, this is how business is done."

They smiled and after about a quarter of an hour, they welcomed the second guest.

After seeing off the guest, Ju Zizhou asked casually: "Brother-in-law, the weather is so cold, why don't you cook hot soup at home, but have to come out to sell talismans?"

"There's nothing." The father-in-law smiled helplessly: "I have a lord. When I was young, I killed two people and got the title. Now I am a lord. However, the fields in my family really can't produce much food. I feel sad. Now my daughter-in-law has given birth to two fat babies in one child. The baby is over one year old, and her son is conquered by the king to fight. I don't know if he can come back... He left, but the family cannot be without income, so I asked the hunters in the neighborhood for a few tiger teeth, canine teeth, and simply carve it, thinking that it's at least some money."

As he said that, he sighed again, and the wrinkles piled on his face stretched out in one breath.

Confession can also reduce the depression in the chest.

Ju Zizhou was silent for a moment: "Did you raise poultry and livestock at home?"

"It's up to be raised." The father-in-law smiled bitterly: "But how many families in Jiangzhou County do not raise poultry and livestock? If there are too many people, the poultry and livestock will be worthless. But the feather tax is placed there, so we can't stop raising it."

"Then there is something wrong with this tax system." Ju Zizhou said slowly.

The father-in-law looked around, nodded, and whispered: "It should be a problem. I don't know which thing was created by a sacrificing ten cents..."

Shang Yang has lost his heir?

Ju Zizhou smiled: "It's really strange to say that when I came to Jiangzhou County yesterday, I found that there were many people logging huge trees by the river far away. It seemed that they wanted to make boats and fish, but seeing so many people, it didn't look like a simple fishing boat to fish..."

"Oh, that." The father-in-law said casually: "That is to rush to worship the dragon god on February 2nd and March 3rd. After the sacrifice, a batch of them will be burned, so it will be done every year."

"In this way, have you ever thought about going to someone to make dragon boats to sell 'Dragon Teeth Talisman'?" Ju Zizhou asked.

The father-in-law rolled his eyes: "Forget it, it's hard to kill dragons, and it's hard to get dragon teeth."

"You don't have to really use dragon's teeth as dragon teeth talismans, right?" Ju Zizhou asked.

The father-in-law thought about it, nodded and said, "It's actually OK to use canine teeth, it just needs to be polished."

"Then it's polishing, it doesn't take much effort."

The father-in-law nodded thoughtfully: "You make sense."
