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 getting on 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, which is only a bowl of noodles. It only costs 20 yuan, and the food is even more expensive.

Fortunately, it is not mandatory. I have heard people say that the meals on this passenger ship are expensive, so I prepared a few bags of snacks to take with me. 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.

Pomegranate saw that other people were doing the same thing. After all, if you were a really fastidious rich person, you would travel on a chartered boat. How could you crowd this passenger boat with so many people.

Of course, those who can take a passenger ship are not poor. 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, just one meal It’s just food, so you can make do with it.

The boat kept going up the river, traveling very fast and steadily. When it was almost midnight (two o'clock in the afternoon), we vaguely saw 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 heard the noise, and then the bustling 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. What if their father would never see it? It would be nice to come and take a look.

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

But when you look at it on the boat, it is lively. When you are in it, 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 compared?

She is finally here in Fucheng, and she will definitely go to Zhoucheng too!

Getting closer, getting closer...

Pomegranate 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 and was about to disembark, with some things still unfinished. Woolen cloth.

The four of them looked left and right 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 road and couldn’t figure out the direction, so he asked Shiliu: “Where are we going?”

Shiliu looked at the sky and said, “First Four Let's go shopping and find an inn to stay in. I'll go find Song Yaren tomorrow." Don't look at the inn on this long street. The price must be too good for her, so after shopping for a while, Pomegranate decisively turned around. , go to an alley.

Out of the alley, there is a small river with gurgling water. Along the small river is a particularly flavorful street market. Pomegranate 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.

Pomegranate decided to live here. When I went in and asked about the price, the price was very acceptable. I asked for two rooms. Li Rongzong and Jiang Bingjiang shared a room with two beds. Pomegranate had a room by herself. , there is a bed inside.

After putting away their luggage 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 restaurant that looked pretty good. Went into the small restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

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.

I thought I would have to walk a lot tomorrow, so after wandering for a while, they returned to the inn.

The weather was so strong that I couldn't stand it without taking a bath. Pomegranate asked for hot water and took a bath. I washed my underwear with bath water and washed it again, then hung it in the room to dry. As for the clothes outside, I washed them. I was afraid that if it didn’t dry, it wouldn’t be easy to dry in the room, 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 my 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 north, 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 Ya’s home is in Xicheng. Shiliu and the others inquired about Xicheng all the way. After asking Song Ya again, they found that everyone knew each other, and some people directly showed them the way. There was a small tea shop on the roadside. In the stall, I saw someone from Song Ya.

Japanese people who specialize in the business of introducing business to others 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, Then don’t worry about any of this.

House prices in Fucheng are much more expensive than in Luoshui City, so the cost of living is 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 when he heard that we were from Luoshui City. He also became more enthusiastic, "The Uncle Jin you are talking about is Jin Bao." Chang?"

Pomegranate nodded, "Exactly!"

Seeing that they were introduced by his in-laws, Song Ya knew that they had a good relationship with his in-laws, so he immediately invited them. At home, his home is not far down the alley.

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

Song Ya thought the same thing, and came all the way from Luoshui City, because he had to do business. Coincidentally, he had just taken over two shops and was ready to take action, so he immediately took some pomegranates to see the shops.
