Chapter 180 A Trip to the County (5)
The teahouse is the most convenient way to inquire about information. As for Man Yuanchun, according to the information provided by the coachman, Man Yuanchun’s location is quite far from the passenger transport. It can be said that the two restaurants are located in two directions of the county, which is relatively far away. The competitive relationship is not so intense. Unless there is some private festivities, it is very likely that there should be no major conflicts between the two restaurants. She can also inquire about Wang Qian with the people in the restaurant while she settles the lunch.

They both run restaurants, so even if they don't have much competition, they must know a lot about each other.

An hour later, Qin Shuang finally came to the county seat, because both Tongfu Village and Rong Town were under the jurisdiction of the county seat, and there was no need for guidance to enter the city. In addition, the coachman was a familiar face, and he knew at a glance that he must be from Rong Town. With the people pulled over, Qin Shuang easily entered the city.

The same as what I heard from the town before, as soon as I entered the city, I could hear the bustling sounds on the street, the sound of vendors hawking, and the voices of pedestrians, noisy and busy.Looking out from the carriage, Qin Shuang saw a street twice as spacious as Rongzhen, more than twice as many pedestrians, more magnificent and exquisite buildings, and better spirits, clothes, and smiles on the faces of the people. , All reveal that the county town is more prosperous than Rongzhen and Tongfu Village, and the people living in the city are rich and stable.

The carriage stopped at a special stop. Qin Shuang paid the money and inquired about the location of the 'Liangji Teahouse' with the driver. After thanking the driver, she walked in the direction pointed by the driver, looking left and right at the shops on both sides of the street. business situation.

At a glance, almost none of these shops are too small, and the smallest one has a medium-sized shop in Rongzhen. There are many customers in each shop, and the business is very good. Of course, this may also be because the street is opposite The busiest main street along the city gate is lined with many famous shops in the entire county.

After walking a hundred meters, Qin Shuang saw two teahouses, two rouge shops, a brothel, a gambling house, four or five restaurants, two inns, a restaurant, and other silver houses, pawnshops, and banks. , all kinds of shops are dizzying and dazzling, no matter in terms of passenger flow, pavement, or architectural shape.

Fortunately, Qin Shuang is also a person who has seen the big world in modern times. Even though it is strange to see these things, he doesn't show it at all on his face. He naturally pretends to be shopping, occasionally stopping at some roadside stalls to take a look look.

The county seat is the county seat, and even these roadside stalls are neatly arranged. Obviously, the management in the city is very good, unlike Rongzhen, as long as you pay all the money for the stalls, don't block other shops from doing business. , it is not strictly limited to only set up stalls in some specific places, and because of this, there may be some delicious snacks hidden deep when passing through a small alley, and these hidden delicacies are actually a kind of fun .

Of course, it is more pleasing to the eye if it is managed in an orderly manner like a county town, and it is also a good model for the city to have a better appearance.

From what she has seen so far, there is no sign that the magistrate of the county seat is corrupt and broke the law. On the contrary, it makes people feel that the officials who manage the county seat have very good management skills.

The location of Liangji Teahouse is easy to find. Walk straight along the main street, and you can see the teahouse hall full of people after walking about 200 meters. When Qin Shuang walked in, it was almost full, and the teahouse waiter smiled. He came over and asked, "This girl, please come inside."

"Is there still room?" Qin Shuang looked around.

Xiaoer said: "There are vacant seats inside, but we need to share a table with other people."
