Chapter 217 Trip to Fucheng

There are two passenger ships from Luoshui Pier to Fucheng every day, one is early and arrives in Fucheng in the middle of the afternoon, and the other is late and arrives in Fucheng in the evening.

Pomegranate and the others were naturally on the earlier boat. Not long after boarding the boat, it was almost full and they slowly left the dock.

This is a passenger ship specially designed to carry passengers. It is directly a large cabin. Everyone sits in one place and can enjoy the scenery along the way. At noon, there is lunch on the ship, but a bowl of noodles costs 20 yuan. Meals are more expensive.

Fortunately, it is not mandatory. Shiliu has long heard that the meals on this passenger ship are expensive, so she prepared a few bags of snacks to take with her. The tea on the ship is provided for free, which is just right.

It's just a lunch, some snacks to satisfy your stomach, and a bowl of tea to fill you up.

Shiliu saw that other people were doing the same thing. After all, if they were really fastidious rich people, they would travel on chartered boats. How could they crowd this passenger boat with so many people?

Of course, those who can take a passenger ship are not poor, but most people are reluctant to part with the one hundred coppers for the ship.

Maybe it's what she thought. It's not worth the twenty cents, but it's really not worth it to eat a bowl of noodles for twenty cents. If it's not enough for a few days on the ship, it's just one meal, so make do. It’s okay to pass.

The boat kept going up the river, traveling very fast and steadily. When it was almost midnight (two o'clock in the afternoon), we could vaguely see the outline of a majestic city ahead.

The Luo River turns out to pass through the city.

The passenger ship passed through the Shuicheng Gate, and soon the noise was heard, and then the bustling street market came into view.

Jiang Bing and Jiang Tong were also back to Fucheng for the first time. They looked around and were very excited. If it weren't for the girl, they would never have seen the prosperity of Fucheng until their death. It would be great if their father could come and take a look at it sometime. .

Luochuan Pier is large and magnificent, with countless ships docked, and countless people carrying large bags on the pier, making it very lively.

But when you look at it on the boat, it’s lively. But when you’re there, you don’t know how lively it is.

After getting off the boat, Shiliu and the other four were dazzled by the excitement of the pier. There were too many people coming and going, and it took them a while to get out of the pier.

Next to the pier is a long street with no end in sight, with shops lined up in rows and flags flying. The sun is not so strong at this point, and the street is bustling with people and traffic. It is really lively.

"Wow! Fucheng is so big and lively! This is not comparable to our Luoshui City!" Li Rongzong couldn't help but sigh.

The county town is naturally not as prosperous as the prefecture city, but the prosperity of this famous city is still beyond Shiliu's imagination. If the prefecture city is so prosperous, how can the prefecture city be as good as this?
She is finally here in Fucheng, and she will definitely go to Zhoucheng too!

Getting closer, getting closer...

Shiliu and the others were dazzled as they admired the markets on both sides of the strait. About two-quarters of an hour later, the ship docked at Luochuan Pier. They were about to disembark, but they still had some unfinished business.

The four of them looked around and followed the flow of people along the long street. From time to time, there were cross alleys to the left and right. It was also a street when they entered, and they didn't know where it led.

Li Rongzong looked left and right, only to find that everything was connected in all directions. He didn't know the way and couldn't figure out the direction. He asked Pomegranate: "Where should we go?"

Pomegranate looked at the sky and said, "Let's take a walk around first and find an inn to stay in. Then we'll find Song Ya people tomorrow." Don't look at the inn on this long street. The price must be too good for her to part with, so she went shopping After a while, Pomegranate decisively turned and headed into an alley.

After leaving the alley, there was a small river with gurgling water. Along the small river was a particularly interesting street market. Shiliu saw an inn called Linhe Inn at a glance.

This inn has two floors, with simple decoration and quiet appearance. You can also enjoy the river view upstairs.

Shiliu decided to live here. When she went in and asked about the room price, she found that the price was very acceptable. She asked for two rooms. Li Rongzong and Jiang Bingjiang shared a room with two beds. Shiliu had a room with one bed. of.

After putting their luggage away and resting for a while at the inn, they left the inn and continued walking along the river. When it was time to order dinner, they found a nearby small restaurant that looked pretty good and went in to order some. A dish.

After eating and drinking, we went out for a walk. It was getting dark, and lanterns were hung everywhere. They were all red, and even the small street was incredibly beautiful.

Thinking that they would have to walk a lot tomorrow, they walked around for a while and then returned to the inn.

The weather was so strong that I couldn't stand it without taking a shower. Pomegranate asked for hot water and took a shower. I washed my underwear with bath water and washed it again before hanging it in the room to dry. As for the clothes outside, I was afraid they wouldn't dry after washing. The room It was not easy to dry, so I packed it separately with furoshiki and took it back to wash it later.

Li Rongzong and the other three were not so particular. They washed their faces and feet and went to bed.

Pomegranate doesn't care whether her brother takes a shower or not. Anyway, in a few months, when the sister-in-law comes in, someone will worry about him not being clean, hehe.

Early the next morning, they got up and packed up. They paid for the room and left the inn. They first found a noodle stall and ate a bowl of wontons. After asking for directions, they went straight to Song Ya's address. go.

Fucheng is also divided into southeast, northwest and northwest, with the north being the most respected. The people in the north city are all officials and noble families, while the west city is a mixed bag, and the people living there are all ordinary people.

Song Yaren's home is in Xicheng. Shiliu and the others inquired about Xicheng all the way. After asking Song Yaren again, they found that everyone knew Song Yaren. Some people directly gave them directions. They met Song Yaren at a small tea stall on the roadside. Teeth man.

Yaren, who specialize in the business of introducing people to buy and sell, are naturally on the street all day long. Sometimes they can't make a deal for several days, but as long as they make one deal, there is no need to worry about it. .

The housing prices in Fucheng are much more expensive than in Luoshui City, so the labor costs are naturally higher.

"I am Song Kuan, are you looking for me? Are you looking for a shop or a house?" Song Ya people are looking for ordinary houses and shops, and those high-priced areas are not for him, so I saw a few pomegranates wearing clothes. It's not surprising that he's not that rich.

"We are from Luoshui City. We plan to open a suitable shop in Fucheng. Uncle Jin asked us to come to you."

Song Yaren smiled warmly when he heard that he was from Luoshui City, "Is the Uncle Jin you are talking about Jin Baochang?"

Pomegranate nodded, "Exactly!"

When Song Yaren saw that they were introduced by his in-laws, he knew that they had a good relationship with his in-laws, so he immediately invited them to his home, which was not far away in the alley.

Li Rongzong hurriedly declined, "No, no, does Song Ya have a shop? It's better to look at the shop first."

Song Yaren thought the same thing and came all the way from Luoshui City. He had to do business. Just in time, he had just taken over two shops and was ready to take action. He immediately took a few pomegranates to see the shops.
