The Multiplication Table

The dock in Qingshi Town was quite big. Lin Xiaoyue stood by the river and watched. She found that there were at least ten ships unloading cargo.

There were still ships behind that had not docked. They were either waiting in line to dock or merchant ships that were passing by and preparing to dock.

Lin Xiaoyue observed for a while and found that there was only one main road leading to the town from the dock. Traveling merchants, coachmen, and laborers all had to pass through this road.

Because there were many people coming and going, there were stalls set up on both sides of the main road to do business, mainly selling food and groceries.

Perhaps she had missed the working hours at the dock, these stalls did not have much business at the moment.

Lin Xiaoyue observed for a while before returning to town.

Then, she went to the market to buy some meat and vegetables, and then to the fabric shop to buy the cloth that Liu Shi asked her to buy.
