Chapter 225 To the Upper City



It takes eight days to walk from Jingshi to Shangcheng. I ate, drank, played and had fun along the way, so I didn’t feel the time was so unbearable.

After getting off the train, Mingguang found the bus stop, got on the bus, and staggered to the Upper Town Hotel.

Mingguang and others saw such a tall building for the first time and they kept exclaiming in admiration.

Along the way, they saw scenery that was different from Beijing, and thought to themselves, this is indeed a big city, this style, this scenery...

After booking two rooms at the hotel and getting in the elevator, Ming Er spoke again.

"Sister, this place is great. This is my first time taking an elevator to such a high place."

"We will be here for a few more days. You have plenty of time to sigh. Now go back to your room, wash up, and have a rest. I will take you to a feast in the evening."

"Okay, sister."

The room is on the eighth floor. You can reach the room by turning a corner after exiting the elevator.

The elevator is diagonally opposite Mingguang and his room, and Ming Leyao's room is opposite. After opening the room and making sure there is nothing wrong inside, they go back to their rooms to rest.

There is a separate bathroom and a simple sanitary ware in the house. Although it cannot be compared with modern hotels, it is much better than a guesthouse. A whole window is hung with white curtains, swaying gently with the wind. The original wood furniture, the white big bed and the clean floor all exude high-end and fashion.

Without time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Ming Leyao quickly took a shower, changed clothes, took the key and went out to find the courtyard.

The hotel is located in the city center, with a street downstairs and many low houses on the street. After asking many people, she finally found a small courtyard that met her requirements.

After paying the rent and putting my things away, I checked the time and saw that almost two hours had passed. I hurried back to the hotel, but before I could even sit down, there was a knock on the door.

This was accompanied by Ming Er's excited shouts.

"Sister, sister, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Ming Leyao opened the door and welcomed the three people into the house. She let them scare her, picked up the phone in the room, dialed the operator, and transferred the number to her man's office.

"Fu Wencheng, where?"

"Wen Cheng, it's me."

"daughter in law?"

"Well, we're uptown now. We're at the hotel. I'll call you and let you know."

"Okay, is this journey safe?"

"all the best."

"That's fine. Remember to miss me, come back early, and call me when you have time."

"Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, he took the three excited people to the restaurant on the ninth floor to have dinner. It was a buffet style restaurant, which made the three people who had never eaten there before feel a little overwhelmed.

"Don't be nervous. You can see that there is food in every area. There are plates at the door. Just take the plates and put in what you like. No waste is allowed here. Take as much as you can eat."

He explained to them in detail how to eat at the buffet and asked them to get their own food. Ming Leyao then found a table near the window and sat down.

After a while, the three of them came back with a lot of things in their hands.

The food here is delicious and there is no limit on the quantity. The three of them basically took meat dishes and started eating after sitting down. From time to time they discussed which one tasted good and which one tasted average.

I had a good meal at night and stayed in a comfortable place, so I slept until dawn.

After breakfast, Ming Leyao took them to the small courtyard they rented yesterday.

When I entered the house, I saw bags piled all over the house.

"so much??"

"Well, you guys go out and look for buyers, and drive carefully."

"What about you, sister?"

"I'll go to a black market farther away."

"Okay, then sister, you should also pay attention to safety."

"Well, if I don't come back at noon, you can go back and eat by yourselves. The meal fee will be directly charged to the room, and it will be collected when you check out."

"good."

Ming Leyao's first stop was not to go directly to the black market, but to go to the rumored busiest department store. This was indeed the largest department store in the country, with a bustling crowd of people. Everything was sold there, many of which did not require a ticket. There were also many watches, scarves, underwear and other items from abroad.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Ming Leyao, as a woman, couldn't resist the desire to shop, and began to unconsciously plan to buy some local specialties for herself to take back.

I walked around every floor.

She didn't plan to buy a watch. It was not suitable for either herself or Fu Wencheng to wear, and it would easily be used by others to make a fuss.

However, you can buy some scarves and ready-made clothes.

After determining his target, Ming Leyao went to the women's clothing section on the third floor and bought everything, including clothes, pants, windbreakers, and cloth. He also bought a lot of men's clothing on the fourth floor.

Finally, I set my eyes on a few sweaters and planned to buy them back as gifts for the grandfathers.

After finishing my shopping, I bought some pastries on the first floor and prepared to leave.

Go outside and find a deserted place, put it into the space, and start looking for the black market.

After some inquiries, I found out that there is a special black market here, which is only open at night and not during the day...

This black market is special because of the things it sells...

These are all very expensive medicinal materials, and there are doctors who treat diseases and save lives, looking for buyers to place orders...

Ming Leyao felt that this was a godsend. In her space, there were many medicinal herbs from previous years. A hundred-year-old ginseng could be sold at a high price. If she wanted to raise enough money...

This is the fastest way to make money.

Since the restaurant was closed during the day, Ming Leyao returned to the hotel just in time for lunch.

After dinner, several people came to her room and began to summarize the news.

"Sister, there are many black markets around here, big and small, and there is also a special black market that is only open at night."

"Well, I'm going to go check out this special black market tonight. You can come with me then."

"What about other black markets?"

"As for the other black markets... we'll talk about it tomorrow."

She wanted to determine how much business this black market could bring her at night...

"Okay, you guys take a good rest this afternoon. I'll go get some things from the house, and we'll go out in the evening."

"Sister, how about I go? I'm fast."

"No, I want to get the medicinal herbs. You don't know how to deal with them, so professional matters should be left to professionals. Besides, it's broad daylight, so there won't be any danger. I'll be back after I get the things."

Several people felt that what Ming Leyao said was right. They heard that the precious medicinal materials had to be stored specially and had to be stored in special things. They really had no way to deal with it and could only go back to the house and rest quietly.

Ming Leyao took a light nap and set off at two o'clock in the afternoon. In order to make this matter seem more real, she actually went to the courtyard and took out a lot of medicinal materials from the space, including hundreds of years old ginseng, five hundred years old blood ginseng, as well as dendrobium, Panax notoginseng, and other precious medicinal materials.
