Chapter 20: Pale Green

Liu Yong stayed in the middle of this remote green bamboo street, that is, in a dilapidated and narrow inn near the city. It is also a two-story wooden building. Upstairs, there are six rooms for rent. Downstairs lived an old couple and a young man. The old couple lived on rent.

However, business here is not good, except for Liu Yong, only three rooms have been rented out, and one of them is temporary.

The wooden building is old, and the stairs creak and rattle, giving the illusion that they are about to collapse. Liu Yong ran upstairs when he carried the sleeping Yingying upstairs, and he was really a little worried that the stairs would suddenly break, which was not fun.

The bitter and vengeful young man led him to the best room, by the street. There are two beds inside, which are more than a dozen square meters. The cleaning is quite clean, but some of the simple furniture is gray and old, giving people a sense of lifelessness.

Liu Yong was very satisfied, and paid half a year's rent first, 600 yuan. The young man kept looking Liu Yong up and down with a pair of small eyes and said to him, if you eat here, the meal fee will be calculated separately. Liu Yong gave him another 200 wen, which was considered food expenses.

In fact, this is already very cheap, if it is put in the modern era of later generations, in a prefecture-level city, it is impossible to live in a hotel at such a price.

Liu Yong slowly put Yingying on the bed, but Yingying woke up. The child was a little panicked, and grabbed Liu Yong's hand tightly with a small face. Liu Yong smiled softly at Yingying, meaning to tell her not to be afraid, there is an uncle. The laugh worked. Yingying's little face relaxed, but there was still no childlike smile.

Six-year-old children are innocent, laughing and playful. And Yingying has to bear the pain of parting and loss. At this time, Liu Yong was the only one who could comfort her.

Youngyoung sat up and scanned the room with wide eyes. Childishly asked Liu Yong what kind of place this was.

"From now on, this will be our home. Do you like it? Liu Yong's tone was very soft.

Yingying didn't answer, and the word unhappy was still written on her face. She scanned the room again, and there seemed to be nothing in her eyes that pleased her. Then he lowered his head and fiddled with his little finger.

Liu Yong knew that Yingying was sad because she didn't find her aunt, so he took Yingying's little hand and said, "Let's go, uncle will take you to visit this Meizhou City and buy you delicious food." ”

Yingying didn't leave, looked up at Liu Yong, and asked, "Uncle, then we won't look for my aunt?" ”

"Looking, why not? It's just that my aunt has moved, so we have to inquire slowly, right? "After staying with Yingying for a long time, Liu Yong has also learned to coax children. Otherwise, so what? Didn't you tell her to look for it? She'll be sad again. In fact, in Liu Yong's heart, he didn't have the idea of looking for Aunt Yingying at all. Take advantage of the fact that you still have a lot of money left, do some small business first, so that you can maintain your life with Yingying, and then slowly look for business opportunities.

As soon as she heard Liu Yong say this, Yingying immediately showed a smile, but she also asked Liu Yong where to find it. Liu Yong took the trouble to explain to Yingying, the purpose was to let her not worry, she would always find it.

In this way, Yingying reluctantly agreed to go shopping with Liu Yong.

The most prosperous street in Meizhou City is called: Meihua Street. Originally, the north side of Meizhou City sat against a low mountain range, called Meihua Mountain, and this street was named after this.

Plum Street is located in the heart of the state city, and although it is not the widest street, it is the longest. The buildings on both sides of the road are lined up one after another, all of which are commercial shops in Yishui. In addition to high-end restaurants, green buildings, and tea houses, there are also low-end restaurants, snack stalls, tea houses, and wine shops. Various grocery stores selling oil, salt, sauce and vinegar also differed during the period, forming a three-dimensional consumption pattern. Therefore, whether you have money or no money in this Meizhou city, you can find what you need here.

Since this is the commercial street of Meizhou City, it is overcrowded every day, and the roadside has become a golden place for vendors to set up stalls. The managers of the state and county government gave the vendors zones on both sides of the street, that is, they did not occupy the road and did not block the shops behind them. In the future, when Liu Yong knew the rules of setting up stalls here, he couldn't help but sigh that the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago had such humane management of small merchants and hawkers.

Humanity is there, but small traders and hawkers are still unsightly for a clean city. At that time, the reason why the state capital and county government did this was that the principle of respect was still based on the livelihood of the citizens, which could be regarded as people-oriented.

Liu Yong bought a string of rock sugar gourds for Yingying and led her to stroll through the bustling crowd. This gave Liu Yong an illusion of traveling to the ancient city. If these pedestrians are replaced with modern clothes, it is an authentic and nostalgic tourist destination. This sense of illusion can only show that Liu Yong still misses the era full of technology in later generations.

Plum Street is indeed very long, and it is also a street with a curve, and there are several intersections during the period, leading to the rest of the state city.

Liu Yong and Yingying walked to the end of the street without hurrying, and there was a T-junction opposite. At this point, people become scarce. The rows of houses across the street are mostly residential, with only two grocery stores and a modest tea shop.

Liu Yong looked at it casually, and the humble tea shop hung a simple disguise, and only the word 'tea' was written on it. There were only three or four people inside eating tea and chatting. A middle-aged woman was boiling a large pot of water by the door of a tea shop. Milky white moisture rises from the spout and lid, giving people the warmth of home.

Liu Yong decided to set up a small stall on this Meihua Street first and do some small business. He led Yingying back to see what kind of small business he could do. Just as he turned around, a faint green flashed next to the tea shop in the corner of his eyes, which was light but very amazing, so it immediately attracted Liu Yong's attention. But when I turned my head to look, the tea shop and the surroundings were still the same as before, a dark wood color. And that pale green color is like a meteor streaked across the night sky, completely gone.

Why are beautiful things always ephemeral? Liu Yongke didn't have the heart to think about this, what he had to think about was how to survive and complete the difficult task of saving the two beauties.

After walking around again, Liu Yong found that almost everything was sold in this small vendor, but most of them were mainly fruits and vegetables. There are also some that sell cloth shoes, coarse cloth, and porcelain, most of which are made crudely and at low prices. They seem to be dealing with poor people.

In the face of all kinds of small stalls, it always makes people's thoughts messy. Why? People who want to do business at the beginning always want to do an exclusive business, and their hearts are full of passion. But after inspecting the market, you will be discouraged, because in the market, almost everything that can be sold is sold. So he began to be confused and anxious. Because they always think about a beautiful dream, not how to compete in an industry. A small deal will not give you an exclusive opportunity. But Liu Yong will not be confused and anxious, because in his subconscious, he is already a top businessman. It's just a small street that doesn't fall into his eyes.

However, the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be taken step by step. Because no matter how top a businessman is, he will not make money with his bare hands.

At this time, Liu Yong's heart was calm and calm. As he walked, he stopped in front of a rouge gouache stand. This is the only rouge stand on this street. There are two young girls carefully selecting rouge.

But what puzzled Liu Yong was, why was there only one rouge gouache stall on such a bustling street? And there don't seem to be many customers who come to visit.

When the girl left, Liu Yong walked over and asked the boss to buy rouge for Yingying. The boss is an old man with a gray beard, but he is also outspoken about Liu Yong. It turns out that the business of selling rouge gouache is an old man in addition to women. Because it is a shame for a young and strong man to sell these women's things. This is also one reason why it sells less. One of the most important reasons is that there is a well-known rouge gouache shop in the city on Xingwang Street in the west of the city, which sells a complete range of various grades, and the women of the entire Meizhou City need rouge gouache to go there. Therefore, don't look at this as the most prosperous place in Meizhou City, but none of them sell rouge gouache.

Liu Yong knew the reason, and spent a few pennies to buy a small box of rouge for Yingying, choking Yingying and the United States. It was almost noon, Liu Yong felt hungry, and in order to make Yingying happy, he entered a small snack shop and brought a big bowl of soup cakes to each person. Yingying's little belly bulges like a leather ball.

At this time, Liu Yong already had a goal, that is, to set up another rouge gouache stall on Meihua Street. He was going to go to the rouge gouache shop on Xingwang Street in Xicheng to have a look.

After eating, inquiring about the location, and leading Yingying to go. Yingying thought that Liu Yong was going to take her to her aunt, so she chattered all the way. made Liu Yong helpless and funny. However, with such a cute little girl by your side, you don't know what loneliness is.

This gouache shop has a resounding name: Pretty in Pink.

"What a name! The fragrance is full of red pink, and she is a pretty woman. Liu Yong read the poems on both sides of the store door and couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the founder of this store is a master of marketing. To be honest, this prosperous street is not bustling, but a little deserted. Street shops are also sparse. But in Liu Yong's opinion, this is the best place to sell rouge gouache. Because of Gu Liu Yong's observation, there are mostly large courtyards and mansions on both sides of this street. I can't figure out what the mansion of the county and the governor is here. Needless to say, the people who live in these deep mansions and compounds, in a common old saying, are all 'Miss Qianjin, noble lady'. They are the main consumers of rouge gouache, and they also have super high spending power.

Having opened the shop here shows the unique vision of the owner. Liu Yong couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

When Liu Yong took Yingying's hand and walked into the store, five or six women were gathering in front of the counter. At the same time, a young man greeted him.

(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, thank you very much)
