Chapter 533 Street Scenes of Yunhe County
"Hey, don't go..."
Seeing Wan Qiqi turn to leave, Feng Gan quickly chased after her, saying with a smile, "Let's talk this out. Don't give me attitude all the time. You'll easily get beaten up if you keep acting like that."
Wan Qiqi stopped, tilted her head to look at Feng Gan, and said, "Are you going to hit me? Don't you want to do business anymore?"
Feng Gan: "..."
He really wanted to find someone to beat up Wan Qiqi, but he had already invested money. If he beat her up and she cheated him out of his money, wouldn't that be a loss?
no!
Feng Gan thought for a moment, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile, "Wan Qiqi, you're new here and don't know anything. How about I show you around?"
"I'm afraid you'll lead me into some alley and do something improper." Wan Qiqi glanced at him and continued walking forward, as if she knew the place very well.
Feng Gan was so angry that he stomped his feet.
His attendant, Afu, immediately stepped forward and gently fanned him with a fan. "Young master, calm down. If it's really that bad, I'll have someone tie her up and give her a beating."
"What are you doing, hitting me?" Feng Gan kicked Afu, looking exasperated. "What about the money I invested? You're always coming up with brainless ideas!"
Afu slumped to the ground, a wronged expression on his face.
He didn't understand. Why couldn't the young master just get the money back? Why would he rather suffer and stay with this woman?
Has the young master changed his ways and now prefers married women?
With his hands behind his back, Feng Gan swaggered behind Wan Qiqi, completely unaware that his entourage was lost in thought, even imagining a dramatic love story.
Wan Qiqi ignored Feng Gan's presence and wandered around as if no one else was there, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Feng Gan initially thought Wan Qiqi was there to gather information, but he found her to be like a country girl visiting the city, curious about everything and wanting to take a second look at everything.
He hadn't followed her for long when he felt it was beneath him to be behind Wan Qiqi, so he gradually slowed his pace and quietly left.
Wan Qiqi glanced in the direction Feng Gan left, a wicked smile curving her lips.
She thought Feng Gan was very capable, but it turns out he's just a shy young master. People like that probably can't succeed in business, since businessmen need to be thick-skinned.
Wan Qiqi continued along the road into the city and soon came to a crossroads.
Ahead lies a more bustling downtown area; the streets connecting on both sides are lined with shops selling daily necessities such as grain, oil, salt, and soy sauce.
Along the roads in this area, there were many traveling merchants leading their horses, their carriages piled high with goods, seemingly looking for suitable shops to cooperate with.
Wan Qiqi thought that if a small stir-fry stall were set up in this place, the business would be very good.
Traveling merchants don't have time to sit down and eat at a restaurant. The dry rations they carry are hard and unpalatable. If they could have a hot meal on the road, that would be the most comfortable thing.
Stir-frying is usually quick, and it would be even more suitable to add dishes like fried rice or fried noodles.
However, Wan Qiqi felt that the most suitable food here would be instant noodles and self-heating pots. As long as there was hot water, it would satisfy the traveler's desire.
But upon closer reflection, Wan Qiqi realized she hadn't found the specific recipe or storage method for instant noodles, and she felt she was overthinking things.
After glancing at it twice, Wan Qiqi continued walking forward.
There are significantly more shops on both sides compared to when I first entered the city, including restaurants, taverns, teahouses, inns, and so on.
The shop assistants on both sides of the street, with towels draped over their shoulders, were working hard to attract customers outside, some even openly stealing business, as if they were about to get into a fight.
Wan Qiqi glanced at most of these shops without stopping, until she reached the next intersection.
On the left side of the road, many dyed cloths were hanging, fluttering in the wind.
Just by looking at these things, it's almost certain that this area is a place that sells fabrics and ready-made clothes.
Moreover, many shops had horse-drawn carriages parked in front of them, indicating that business was booming.
On the right side of the road, there's a place that sells gold and silver jewelry.
Looking around, there were also one or two pawnshops, which was very convenient for people who wanted to pawn their gold, silver and jade.
Wan Qiqi felt that this kind of place should also have a cosmetics shop. After buying beautiful clothes and jewelry, one should naturally buy some cosmetics to dress up and feel more comfortable.
Moreover, in such places, there are many women and high-ranking officials who value quality when buying things and won't be stingy with a little money.
Ordinary cosmetics and face powders would not win the favor of these people; the most profitable products would be skin-nourishing face masks and lotions.
You know, the wives of wealthy men cherish their skin the most, and use it to capture a man's heart.
Wan Qiqi glanced at it twice and couldn't help but sigh.
That's it, she has new ideas for every place she looks at, almost like she wants to dominate the entire market.
Unfortunately, she lacked the ability to achieve these ideas, which seemed a distant prospect.
She looked around again, then decided to put everything else aside for now and focus on getting the restaurant in order; she couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture.
Further ahead, there is a river that runs almost through the entire county.
Seeing this river means you've reached the center of Yunhe County.
Every two hundred meters, there is an arched bridge connecting the two sides of the road.
Boats occasionally pass by on the river.
The river is generally wide enough for five or six boats to pass side by side, but in narrow sections, only one pleasure boat can pass at a time.
The most prosperous areas in Yunhe County are also located on both banks of this river.
Restaurants, taverns, inns, eateries, and teahouses are everywhere, enough to dazzle the eyes.
Before Wan Qiqi could even get to the riverbank, she saw a familiar sign – "Guests from All Directions".
