Chapter 3: First Experience of Ancient Life

After a while, the silver goods were paid off, and Gu Yun got his more than 70 taels of silver.

After walking out of the pawnshop, Gu Yun then looked at the surrounding streets carefully.

Now that the lighting is over, this street should be a prosperous area, with lights coming from several stores around it. It looks like there are two gambling shops and three brothels.

Gu Yun was not interested in the gambling house, but Gu Yun was a little interested in the brothel. It was not about going to prostitution, but as a modern person, he was purely curious. However, now it is not when he was going to patronize the brothel. The first seventh day of his grandfather's family had not passed yet, so how could he go to such a place?

Holding his curiosity, Gu Yun walked forward. After a while, he came to the door of an inn, touched his stomach, and smiled bitterly. He said that he was too devoted today and was busy until now, and he had not had supper yet.

Gu Yun approached the inn, and the waiter immediately came over and shouted: "This guest official, should you be a kid or stay in a hotel?"

"Leave me a room!" Gu Yun shouted, found a clean seat to sit down, and then called out: "Waiter, give me a pot of good wine, two good dishes! You need the best!"

"Okay - wait!" The waiter was so happy that he almost trotted to the back hall. Want the best food and drinks? This is a meeting with a rich man!

Then Gu Yun looked at the other customers in the store. While he was looking at the others, others were also looking at him. You know, it is rare to see that short hair like him and strange clothes are rare.

After a while, the waiter came over with a pot of wine and two dishes. It was early after dinner and there were only three or two tables of guests in the store, so the chef cooked the dishes very quickly.

The waiter put down the food and retreated aside, "Customer, please use it slowly!"

Gu Yun lifted the wine pot, poured a glass for himself, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He frowned. The wine was too light and could not compare with the modern high-level white wine. When he attracted the waiter, Gu Yun frowned and asked, "Waiter, is this the best wine?"

"Customer, this is the thirty-year-old ten-mile incense that our store has treasured. It is the best wine in our store!" The waiter felt a little contempt in his heart. Could it be that this young man can't drink the wine?

Gu Yun nodded and said nothing. I think there was no distilled liquor at this time. This wine similar to rice wine is less than a lot higher. Of course, there is no too spicy feeling when I sip it. I thought, when will I also open a tavern, selling modern liquor, and I won’t send it yet.

When other drinkers in the inn saw this scene, they whispered.

"Isn't this young man drinking the first time?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I'm sneaking out!"

"You can see clearly that young man is not that place. He is obviously a monk who has just returned to secular life. Humph, the monk with wine and meat!"

...

Gu Yun was thinking about his thoughts, not paying attention to gossip. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes, feeling very satisfied. He couldn't get used to drinking the wine, but the dishes were still nothing to say. Original organic foods have no pesticide residues. The most wonderful thing is that after eating a modern, oily and oily meal filled with a lot of chemical condiments, this ancient dish that was considered authentic in ancient times was very appetizing.

Gu Yun was having a big feast and was hungry. He didn't have much time to eat a meal, so he ate all the wine and vegetables.

However, as soon as he checked the bill, he realized that the ancient wine and food were not cheap either! After eating more than a dozen taels of silver, a pot of wine occupied the majority. According to modern algorithms, the pot of wine was worth tens of thousands of yuan, which was speechless.

After paying the bill, Gu Yun returned to his room to rest under the guidance of the waiter.

There was really no entertainment in ancient times. It was a bit unaccustomed to Gu Yun. He was very bored and suddenly wanted to figure out the jet lag between the two sides. If he didn't figure out this problem, he might be able to wear the wrong time in the future and encounter unexpected troubles.

So Gu Yun closed the door and went back. He found his computer, opened it, and found an alarm clock to adjust the time to the same as the computer. The computer naturally stayed in modern times, and the alarm clock was passed in ancient times. Then he stayed in modern times and ancient times for a while, and recorded the time. After repeated this several times, he finally discovered the rules.

Wonderful rule! In modern times, only 1 minute has passed in ancient times. You can wear it until ancient times, and only 1 minute has passed in modern times. In short, wherever the ancient Yun stays, the time in the place where he is not there will be 12 times slower.

"This is really people-oriented!" Gu Yun sighed: "I just don't know if the day in ancient times was 24 hours? It takes at least one day to be sure in ancient times. Well, since I have never experienced the inn in ancient times, let's stay here and have a look!"

Perhaps it was because he drank wine, Gu Yun slept until dawn.

I woke up the next morning, washed up, and went to the street to buy fried dough stick buns, and started shopping while eating.

In this ancient county town, brick and wood structure houses accounted for the majority, and there were even many full-wood structures. If it was burned, it would definitely suffer heavy losses. It can be seen that the ancients' fire prevention awareness must be extraordinary.

While walking around, Gu Yun came to a tailor shop. He thought that in this ancient times, wearing these strange clothes would probably be the focus of everyone wherever he went, and it would be difficult not to attract attention. In order to make it easier to walk in the future, it is time to make two sets of these ancient long gowns.

Gu Yun walked into the tailor shop and saw a middle-aged man busy sewing clothes. The store was not big, and there were some cloths lined up by the wall near the east head. It seemed that the tailor shop also sold cloths, and they provided one-stop service.

"Boss, make me two sets of Confucian clothes." Gu Yun was too lazy to go to a special cloth shop to buy cloth, so he did it all here.

The middle-aged man was the shop owner. He looked up at Gu Yun and was quite surprised. Although the clothes Gu Yun wore were a bit strange, they were more generous in the introduction and had little impact on daily life. However, Gu Yun's hair made the shop owner frown slightly. The ancients' emphasis on their body and hair was not just a joke. As for the word "boss", it was even more fresh.

There is no reason not to do business. The store owner replied: "Young Master, have you bought the cloth?"

"No, just choose the best one here." Gu Yun looked at the row of clothes in the east.

The shop owner immediately put down his work, walked over, swept over several pieces of cloth, and introduced: "These are all authentic silk and satin. The goods purchased by our store in Gezhou City are 230 yuan per foot."

Gu Yun also went to touch it with his hands, but he couldn't figure it out well and could only judge by the comfort of his hand. He casually pointed to the two types of cloth: "Just these two."

"Okay." The store owner was delighted. It was rare for customers who did not bargain. He greeted: "Do you need to measure your length and width in your store?"

"Well, you can measure it for me." Gu Yun nodded.

"Okay." Then the shop owner took out a roll of soft ruler and started measuring.

As the shop owner fiddled with it, Gu Yun suddenly remembered something, "Boss, my hair is relatively short, so it's so inconvenient to walk. Do you think there are any hats or something?"

The store owner glanced at Gu Yun's head and said, "It's enough for Confucian scholar hats, but there are some gaps behind his mind that may be difficult to cover. If you change the Confucian scholar hats, you shouldn't reveal any flaws if you don't look closely."

"Okay, then let's make a Confucian hat based on the two styles I just chose. I hope the boss will be more worried!" Gu Yun bowed and said politely.

The store owner said modestly: "It's easy to say, it's 4 taels and 7 coins in total. The deposit is 1 tael, and it will be collected after 5 days."

"5 days?" Gu Yun frowned. He didn't want to wait for five days. "Boss, I'm in a hurry to use it. Can you see if you can work overtime today."

Although I don’t understand what “overtime” means, the store owner can guess, “Young master, even if you are rushing to work, it will take as long as three days.”

"Boss, get more staff and get a job, and you tell me the price!" Gu Yun sacrificed the big killing weapon of "money". This is the truth of the so-called "money can make the devil push the mill".

The store owner thought to himself, for the sake of money, please hurry up and work, "You can do it as soon as tomorrow, but this price may cost 6 taels of silver."

"Okay, this is 6 taels of silver. The boss is relieved." Gu Yun took out a total of 6 taels of silver in total, and he planned to pay it for the first time.

This made the store owner happy: "Okay, since the young master is so happy, I promise to do it on time. The young master will come here to pick it up tomorrow."

"Then please." Gu Yun clasped his fists and said goodbye and walked out of the store.

Qinggang County was not very big. Gu Yun visited all over the place in one morning. In the afternoon, he specifically asked someone to chat with him and wanted to get some information. After a few inquiries, he finally found out the basic situation.

The history here is very different from the earth. Since Emperor Zhenwu unified the countries, the first dynasty lasted for 500 years. However, since the second dynasty, the history of each dynasty has become shorter and shorter. Although the Dashun Dynasty has only been 130 years, it has been in turmoil.

From this, Gu Yun concluded that this place was definitely not ancient China. If he saw a complete picture of Dashun, he would definitely not be a parallel space-time of the earth, because Dashun's coastline is different from any place on the earth. It can only be said that this is a planet similar to the earth.

In order to find out the specific time of the day and to wait for the Confucian scholars to prepare their clothes, Gu Yun lived in ancient times.

On the second day, he finally figured out the time situation. Here we have about 22 Earth hours a day, and it seems that the planet rotates slightly faster than the Earth. Of course, the local area has its own calendar, and they still divide 1 day into 12 hours, and there are exactly 360 local days a year. Some solar terms and other information are similar to the name of the Earth.

After wandering around for two consecutive days, and eating and drinking, most of the silver coins on Gu Yun were spent.

At the same time, he felt that there were a few gangsters swaying around him from time to time, as if he was being followed. This made him feel that it was unsafe here. It seemed that he had to go back and buy some self-defense items. His own safety is more important than anything else.

Just in time, I also have to go back and put some incense sticks on my grandfather and burn some paper money.

Then go back! Gu Yun made a decision, but he couldn't go back without any gains. He used the remaining silver in his hand to exchange for gold. This exchange made him very happy. The gold-silver exchange ratio here was as high as 1:5, which was shocking. Gu Yun almost wanted to go back to modern times to exchange for gold. Fortunately, the price difference between other commodities in modern times and ancient times was also large, and it was even more profitable, which made him dispel the idea.
