Chapter 177: Wenzhou Nangang Bazaar
After a good night's sleep, Yao Ruoyu finally recovered his spirits, and after getting up, he had breakfast with Song Kai and others, and under the urging of Freezing Point, a group of people left the Wenzhou Commercial Bank and rushed to the market in the south port.
Although it is the same city in Zhejiang, the street style of Wenzhou City is very different from that of Hangzhou and Jiaxing, and the style of the latter two cities is closer to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the buildings in Wenzhou City have a bit of the style of the modern city, and everyone walks on the street, there is an illusion that it seems to return to the modern era.
Looking around, Yao Ruoyu's heart suddenly felt a little bitter, he had traveled to this world for a long time, he thought he had adapted to this world, but when he saw this kind of modern street, he still couldn't help but feel a little ripple in his heart.
Yao Ruoyu is like this, Li Huan and Hu Xian are the same, the two daughters rarely didn't say much, just stared around silently, but Song Kai and Jiang Siyu have been here for a long time, even if there is a change in mood, they can hold it down well.
As a landlord, she enthusiastically introduced the scenery along the way, and from time to time ran to the snack bar on the street to buy a few snacks and distribute them to everyone.
"There are a lot of commercial houses here in Wenzhou. Suddenly, Yao Ruoyu lifted his glasses and said with a chuckle.
When he was in Nanhu, he was besieged by many warriors because of the Zhanhu sword, and he had no choice but to leave Jiaxing directly, thinking that the glasses would be left in the inn, but he didn't expect Song Kai to help him bring the glasses to Wenzhou before leaving, so he also put the glasses back on after getting up today.
Hearing his words, Bingdian nodded with a smile: "Yes, in addition to our Wenzhou Commercial Bank, there are also large commercial banks such as Sujia Commercial Bank, Donghai Commercial Bank, and Daming Commercial Bank, as well as many small commercial banks." ”
"Isn't the competition fierce?" Yao Ruoyu said with a smile when he heard this.
"It's okay!" the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he smiled a little smugly, "We have a lot of masters in Wenzhou Commercial Bank, even if there are many competitors, but our Commercial Bank is not afraid." ”
Lifting down his glasses, Yao Ruoyu was puzzled: "Master?"
"She's a master of business," Song Kai shook his head knowingly and explained, "Wenzhou Commercial Bank is very good at cultivating and recruiting talents in this area." ”
Yao Ruoyu nodded suddenly, and was able to make Song Kaidu praise, indicating that Wenzhou Commercial Bank is indeed very good.
In the midst of their jokes, the group finally came to the market in the south port, and before they got close, the flow of people on the street was obviously dense, and there were a lot more shops along the street than before.
Not long after the group walked into the bazaar, Freezing Dian pulled Yao Ruoyu with a smile, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile: "Look, there." ”
Yao Ruoyu looked in the direction she was pointing at, and after glancing at it a few times, she frowned unconsciously and said, "What?"
"Didn't you see it?" Freezing suddenly pursed her lips, "Westerners!
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, and looked there again, there were several blonde and blue-eyed Westerners walking through the crowd, and the other party did not notice Freezing Pointing, but was talking to himself.
"See, what's wrong?" Li Huanxiu frowned slightly, puzzled.
"Isn't it, why aren't you surprised?" Freezing pouted depressedly and said dissatisfiedly, "Song Kai and Sister Jiang were like this before, and now you are like this, don't you think it's strange to see Westerners?"
Yao Ruoyu only understood the meaning of freezing at this time, and immediately scratched his hair a little funny, indeed, to the ancients, blonde and blue-eyed Westerners do seem very strange, but Yao Ruoyu and these time-travelers have not seen Westerners in modern times, in that world of information explosion, Westerners have long been accustomed to them, and they will not feel strange at all.
When I wanted to bring Song Kai and Jiang Siyu here before coming to Freezing Point, I also pointed out the existence of Westerners to them with the intention of showing off, but they were blocked by the indifferent attitude of the two, so I wanted to do it again this time, but I was silently deflated again.
Not to mention that Freezing Point was depressed there, Yao Ruoyu walked for a while, and then walked into a blacksmith shop next to him.
When he came in, a fellow greeted him with a smile and said, "Guest officer, do you want to buy weapons?"
"Do you have a scabbard here?" Yao Ruoyu took out the Zhanhu sword tied around his waist and said lightly, "My sword has never been equipped with a scabbard. ”
"Yes, what material do you need for a scabbard?" the guy asked with a smile when he heard this.
After thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, what material do you have here?"
The man replied with a smile: "We have a lot of materials for the scabbard here, shark skin, iron, steel, and the spirit master has specially carved the spirit array, which can warm the sword blade, depending on the needs of the guest officer." ”
As he spoke, he had already led Yao Ruoyu to the counter on the side, and there were many scabbards displayed in the counter.
Song Kai and the others naturally came in with Yao Ruoyu, and when they saw that he wanted to buy a scabbard, they couldn't help pouting and said, "Brother Demon, why don't you look for me if you want to buy a scabbard?
"I just thought of it. After explaining with a smile, Yao Ruoyu continued to look at the scabbard on the counter.
He was also telling the truth, when he first saw the blacksmith shop, Yao Ruoyu wanted to come in and take a look at the weapon, but suddenly thought that his Zhanhu sword had not been given a scabbard since he got it, and the frost tide sword had always been an ordinary scabbard, and sometimes the battle came suddenly, and when he controlled the flying sword, the scabbard was directly shattered, so he thought about simply coming here with two scabbards.
Song Kai and Hu Xian were spirit masters, so they didn't have much interest in these, so they stood at the door and chatted, while Jiang Siyu and Li Huan walked into the shop and watched the weapons placed in the store.
After thinking about it for a while, Yao Ruoyu purchased a sharkskin scabbard engraved with the spirit array, it is said that the core of the spirit array is a gold spirit stone and a water spirit stone, the former can stimulate the sharp qi of the sword blade, and the latter can warm the sword edge and avoid wear and tear.
When they set out from Hezhou, Xu Xuanrong prepared a lot of gold and silver for them, but they stayed at the inn when they were in Jiaxing, and were brought to Wenzhou by Song Kai and Jiang Siyu. It's just that since Yao Ruoyu is with them, he naturally has to stuff a little bit into his waist bag, so although this scabbard is expensive, it has not been put in his eyes yet.
The purchase of the scabbard was just an episode, and then the crowd continued to walk around the market.
It has to be said that although the scale and number of shops in this market are nothing in modern times, in this world, this market is one of the few prosperous large-scale markets.
Along the way, there are countless types of blacksmith shops, pharmacies, clothing stores, and even Westerners' shops, and it can be said that such a market alone concentrates at least the goods of southern China and the West.
"But it's a pity that our Song Dynasty and several other countries have been fighting fiercely for many years, and each other's trade routes are not very smooth," Freezing Dot, showing a rare serious appearance, sighed, "So the goods from the north, northwest, and southwest are almost impossible to circulate here." ”
"If it's a border city, it should be better, right?" Yao Ruoyu said unconsciously when he heard this.
Nodding, Bing nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, but the border city has experienced war all year round, and the city must be dominated by the army, and the business side will not be too important." ”
Hearing this, Yao Ruoyu unconsciously looked at each other with Song Kai and Jiang Siyu, and each other had a few points in their hearts, no wonder Wenzhou Commercial Bank would go thousands of miles to Hezhou City to open up a branch.
Before they knew it, everyone had been shopping for a morning, and when they saw that everyone was hungry, they raised their hands and laughed: "I know there is a restaurant that tastes great! ”
To be honest, after coming all the way, Yao Ruoyu has been a little skeptical about the aesthetics of Freezing Point, this little girl seems to be very respectful of things from the West, and has recommended many Westerner shops to everyone along the way, so if his estimate is not wrong, most of the so-called restaurants in Freezing Point are also related to Westerners.
Sure enough, just as Yao Ruoyu expected, Freezing Dots led everyone to a Western-style store, and as soon as they came to the door, Yao Ruoyu and the others invariably glanced at each other and silently spit out two words - bar!
Yes, in front of them, it is a bar that can be seen everywhere in later generations, and the style of this bar is obviously the kind of bar that western cowboys often go to in movies, and even everyone can see a few Han people in denim clothes going in and out.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose silently, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly: "That kind of clothes just now...... I bought it from a Westerner, right?"
"Hey, Brother Demon, how do you know?" Freezing Diandian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled, "How about it, the style is very unique! Our young people here like to wear this kind of clothes......
Seeing Yao Ruoyu squinting at him, he scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, and said with a dry smile: "Of course, I wear it behind my back, otherwise if my family knows about it, I will be beaten ......."
(In this day and age, it's good that you who dare to wear denim clothes don't get killed...... )
complained silently in his heart, Yao Ruoyu took the lead in pushing the door and walked in, Song Kai, Jiang Siyu, Hu Xian and others followed, and several people found a seat to sit down, and then Yao Ruoyu raised his hand and snapped his fingers and shouted: "Waiter." ”
"Brother Demon, have you been here?" looked at Yao Ruoyu in a daze, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Hu Xian's red lips pursed slightly, and she smiled and said, "Jing ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Song Kai had already interrupted her words and said lightly: "I've heard of it." ”
"Oh," Freezing Dots was not scheming, and he was infatuated with Song Kai, so he didn't suspect anything at all, and just nodded and believed their explanation.
However, seeing that Song Kai was deceiving people, Hu Xian was also a little puzzled, obviously not understanding why he wanted to deceive Bingdiandian.
"Do you want people to know that we have crossed over?" Yao Ruoyu whispered sideways in her ear, "I'm afraid that in this era, there will only be such a thing as a bar here, don't let people doubt our origins." ”
Hu Xian, who only understood at this time, quickly nodded, indicating that she understood.
