258 Coming to the provincial capital at the beginning
Chinese As expected by He Xiaojun, this section of the waterway really took twice as long as his previous life, and it was not until one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, after walking for more than 20 hours, that they arrived at the provincial capital.
After getting off the boat, He Xiaojun hurriedly looked at this provincial city that he had been to many times in his previous life and had stayed here for a while.
After more than half a century of changes, in addition to the river called Dongjiang River at his feet, there are several buildings that have been in line with the provincial city in He Xiaojun's mind, and everything else makes He Xiaojun feel like returning to a rural market town in his previous life.
The low bungalows, the bluestone paved roads mixed with dirt roads, the uneven types of buildings, and the firewood placed outside the houses, etc., this is not the appearance of a market town?
On the wharf, I saw a group of rickshaw drivers who had passengers disembarking from the boat and stayed there to solicit customers, and they flocked forward to solicit business.
Situ Huaibi recruited three rickshaws, asked his daughter and He Xiaojun to get in the car and follow him, he wanted to take the two to inspect his family's business in the provincial capital, and then let the two go to Chongqing to find a suitable business place according to the scale of business here.
The business of the Situ family in the provincial capital has two factories, two trading houses, and five stores.
The Situ family has two factories in the provincial capital, one producing soap, soap and other daily necessities, and the other is a textile factory.
The Situ family has two trading houses in the provincial capital, one wholesaling daily necessities and the other producing and selling ready-to-wear garments.
The Situ family's five stores in the provincial capital mainly sell their own products, and by the way, they sell some similar products.
Due to the scattered business points of the Situ family, He Xiaojun and his party traveled to most of the provincial capitals, giving He Xiaojun the opportunity to see most of the provincial capitals in that era.
Of course, the provincial capital there is not as big as the era of rapid expansion in He Xiaojun's previous life, and even half of it is not as big. However, relatively speaking, the provincial capital at that time had begun to take shape, larger than the provincial capital of many other provinces in He Xiaojun's previous life.
The provincial capital where He Xiaojun is located is located in the fortress of South China, and the water and land transportation is very convenient, and it governs the southern gate of China, so the provincial capital has been extremely prosperous in that backward era, not only the development of commerce and industry is in the forefront of the country, but also the population, transportation and other industries are also quite prosperous.
Although the prosperity of that era was not the same as He Xiaojun's previous life, it was much more prosperous compared to the cities and counties that He Xiaojun had seen in contemporary times.
The prosperity of the market has of course brought prosperity to the business, and the business done by the Situ family is all unique and promising business, so their family's business in the provincial capital is very good.
Due to the inspection and discussion of the future direction and the details of the relocation, He Xiaojun and his inspection took a lot of time, and it was not until lunch time that they finished inspecting all the business points of the Situ family in the provincial capital.
At dinner that day, Situ Huaibi invited He Xiaojun to the "Da Sanyuan" restaurant, and He Xiaojun immediately looked at this century-old restaurant with great interest, comparing it with the difference between this restaurant and the one he had seen in his previous life.
At this time, the style of the restaurant is still the same as He Xiaojun's previous life. The main building remained largely unchanged, except for later expansions and changes in some details to suit the trend.
After sitting in an antique room with a lot of southern antique characteristics, out of politeness and out of convincing He Xiaojun, Situ Huaibi asked He Xiaojun to order.
With the idea of understanding that era and understanding his peers in that era, He Xiaojun was not polite, and after taking over the menu, he ordered several dishes that he had not tasted in his two lifetimes and took a lot of effort to make, such as Buddha jumping over the wall, braised crab box, wo paste prawns, etc.
The dishes He Xiaojun ordered were all dishes that had been lost or declined in his previous life. In the era of quick success and quick profit in the previous life, even the cooking in the restaurant was affected by this trend, and some labor-intensive dishes were abandoned by the restaurant at that time, so He Xiaojun wanted to seize the opportunity to taste these lost delicacies.
In the process of eating this meal, He Xiaojun and the others continued to discuss the operation and relocation of the Situ family's business in China while tasting the food.
In the end, Situ Huaibi accepted He Xiaojun's proposal, moving the daily necessities business to Chongqing to continue production and operation, and the textile and garment stall would try to shrink the business as much as possible, and then consider this stall after the relocation of the daily necessities business.
According to the division of labor set in Ningcheng, Situ Huaibi stayed in the provincial capital to deal with business shrinkage and relocation, while He Xiaojun and Situ Meiqian went to Chongqing to find a suitable business shop and factory site.
Since ancient times, there is a saying that "Shu Road is difficult", and in the current era is no exception, to go to Chongqing, the most convenient way is to go to the Yangtze River by boat. And from the provincial capital to the nearest city by the Yangtze River, it is Yueyang, so if He Xiaojun wants to rush to Chongqing, he must go to Yueyang first.
After eating this sumptuous dinner, He Xiaojun and his party immediately rushed to the train station to learn about the train trip to Yueyang.
The earliest train from the provincial capital to Yueyang will depart in the early morning of tomorrow, and after He Xiaojun and the others bought tickets for this bus, it was already evening.
After two days and one night of hard work, the middle-aged Situ Huaibi was already tired, and he proposed to He Xiaojun that everyone go to a trading house in his family business to rest, which he said had guest rooms.
He Xiaojun groaned for a while, and said to Situ Huaibi that he didn't want to rest so early and wanted to visit the provincial capital.
Situ Meiqian, who had already shown fatigue, didn't know if it was out of a playful mentality, or if she had some purpose, so she proposed to her father to go with He Xiaojun.
Situ Huaibi, who had a purpose to match the two, of course did not object to his daughter's proposal that the "Da Sanyuan" restaurant was not far from the ancient statue in the provincial capital that later became its symbol, He Xiaojun took Situ Meiqian, and took it to visit that place before it was completely dark.
After walking a few hundred meters and climbing a small hill that is not too high, the statue that condescendingly overlooks the entire provincial capital appeared in front of He Xiaojun and his eyes.
The statue that is several meters high, as well as the ancient city wall behind it and a building called "Zhenhai Tower", fortunately avoided the devastation of several wars, and has been preserved until He Xiaojun's previous life more than half a century later, so He Xiaojun has visited this landscape several times in his previous life.
However, when he visited this landscape again at this time, He Xiaojun had a feeling of vicissitudes, a similar feeling that "the ancients did not see the present time and the moon, and the present is not the past month and the ancients", which filled his heart.
After visiting the statue, the sky was getting dark, and without the brilliant lights of the provincial city in He Xiaojun's previous life, people could no longer see anything, so He Xiaojun and the others had to end this short tour and prepare to go back to the accommodation arranged by Situ Huaibi.
When she went down the mountain from the mountain where the statue was located, she saw that Situ Meiqian was not used to walking the mountain road, and He Xiaojun, who was afraid that she would fall, led her hand down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, when He Xiaojun wanted to let go of Situ Meiqian's hand, Situ Meiqian somehow held his hand tightly and didn't let him go.
He Xiaojun, who was surprised, was relieved after remembering Situ Meiqian's fear of the dark on the boat last night, and did not stop her move.
Situ Meiqian herself was a little puzzled by her current behavior, she couldn't figure out how she, who had always been conservative, could become so open all of a sudden, daring to take the initiative to drag a man's hand.
Perhaps, it was the man next to her who gave her a sense of security since he saved her; Maybe after coming into contact with this man, this man's excellence makes me tempted, maybe......
Anyway, after holding this man's hand, Situ Meiqian felt very warm, comfortable, and comfortable.
In this way, He Xiaojun and Situ Meiqian, a young man and woman with matching talents, walked into the black hand in hand like a couple who were dragging their hands and walked on the streets of the provincial capital. Cat flutter Chinese
