The Pingxi County Guoshu Museum is located on Wansong Mountain in Pingxi City, and those who can come here to study are naturally outstanding young people from all over the world, just like the various Internet cafes near those colleges and universities in the previous life, the so-called demand is supply, because the students who come to study in the Guoshu Museum have to find a place to live outside the Guoshu Museum, and they are responsible for food and clothing, as well as various other needs, so it is not far from the Guoshu Museum, near the slope on the other side of Wansong Mountain, and a lively market and block have been formed.

The lively market and block is called Sanyuan Street, the whole Sanyuan Street, more than 1,000 meters long, forms a Z-shaped direction on the slope of Wansong Mountain, on both sides of the road, under the buildings built along the hillside, there are all kinds of shops, weapons shops, pharmacies, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, restaurants, restaurants, dazzling, dizzying.

Also near Sanyuan Street, there are also various hotels and private houses for rent, which are specially rented to students in the Guoshu Museum.

Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng found a tooth man, that is, an intermediary, and each found two yards next to each other in a place called Qingniu Lane near Sanyuan Street, and rented them together.

The rent of the yard rented by two people is six dollars of silver per month, the yard is detached, clean and refreshing, there is a two-story small building, a courtyard of dozens of square meters, and a hidden basement that is convenient for practice。

This courtyard is less than a mile away from the Guoshu Museum, out of Qingniu Lane, outside is Sanyuan Street, there are all kinds of places to eat, drink and have fun, and life is very convenient.

Shi Dafeng's family is a local tyrant, and he doesn't care about this money, although Yan Liqiang's family is not very rich, but in order to facilitate his cultivation of the Yi Jin Washing Pulp Sutra without being disturbed, Yan Liqiang still chose here, this money, less than eight taels of silver a year, Yan Liqiang can still afford it, although Yan Liqiang is usually frugal, but when he wants to really spend money, he is never stingy.

He and Shi Dafeng both directly paid a year's rent in advance, which made the tooth man who brought them smile from ear to ear, the rent was paid happily, and the tooth man's commission would be more.

After settling on the place to live, the two of them made an appointment together, changed the lock on the gate of the yard again, and found a futon shop on Sanyuan Street, each bought a new set of bedding and some living utensils on the bed, and cleaned their respective yards together in the afternoon.

After such a day, Yan Liqiang really has the feeling of reporting to the university as a freshman.

The next day, Yan Liqiang got up early in the morning, and had just practiced the Yi Jin Washing Sutra twice in the basement, and it was only a little bright outside, and he was about to go outside the alley to eat breakfast, when the door of his small courtyard was banged.

Yan Liqiang went over and opened the door and found that it was Shi Dafeng standing outside.

"Well, you look good, are you exercising?" Shi Dafeng glanced at Yan Liqiang.

"Of course, the time in the morning is so precious, where can you waste it, don't you also get up early in the morning to practice your Tongjiquan, even if you are in the basement, I can hear the movement here!"

"Hahaha, no way, my back fist, I take the fierce road, now as soon as I make a move, there is no such casualness as your tiger roar chain fist, and one day in the future, I can practice the back fist to the anode yin and then I can stop the sound!" Shi Dafeng laughed, " Let's go, let's go to have breakfast together, the cow pot bun shop outside seems to be good, after eating early, let's go to Pingxi City today, I have only followed my father to Pingxi City twice, and each time I stayed for a long time, there are many places in Pingxi City, like Chongsheng Temple, Yuzhu Spring, Jiulong Bridge, these lively places have not been to it. ”

Yan Liqiang originally wanted to say that he was going to cultivate in the courtyard today, so he wouldn't go shopping, but as soon as the thought turned in his head, he thought of those Shatu people who were clamoring to take revenge on him, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go shopping!"

I just came to Pingxi City, I have just arrived, it is still necessary to be familiar with Pingxi City, and I will have a black eye when I get it, and I just went to see what the situation of the Shatu people in Pingxi City is today, so I can be a little prepared, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can not be defeated.

Agreeing to Shi Dafeng, Yan Liqiang turned around and returned to the small building, carrying the money bag, and then locked the door of the small courtyard and left Qingniu Lane with Shi Dafeng.

The steamed bun shop is just a hundred meters away from the left turn of Qingniu Lane, although it is early in the morning, but the business in the steamed bun shop is already booming, and from a distance, you can smell the steamed buns and the aroma of the beef pot pickle soup in the steamed bun shop.

The two came to the steamed bun shop, one asked for a basket of steamed buns, and made a bowl of beef pot pickle soup by himself, and ate happily.

To tell the truth, just such a small roadside shop buns, Yan Liqiang ordered in a five-star hotel in his last life, and it is not so delicious, the bun flour here is flour, the meat filling is the meat filling, everything is real, the flour has not been whitened, and no bulking agent has been added, the steamed buns are slightly yellow, with a natural wheat fragrance, the meat filling inside is pork mushrooms plus a little lotus white, pork has no clenbuterol, and the mushroom lotus white is also really natural, the filling is mixed with condiments before putting it in the bun, just not fat or greasy, a bite open, full of fragrance, plus the pickle soup cooked with beef bone sauce and some vegetables and eaten with steamed buns, eat a bite of steamed buns, and then drink a mouthful of soup, the taste is simply refreshing......

After eating the buns in the small shop, Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng left Sanyuan Street, directly threw off their big strides, and ran towards the first destination in Pingxi City.

The distance between the east and west of the whole Pingxi City is less than 10,000 meters, and the width from north to south is seven or eight thousand meters, and it has taken many years to build today's scale, the history of Pingxi City is not long, only more than 500 years, and the population settled in the city is less than 900,000.

But even if it is such a small city, it is also the most elite place in the entire Pingxi County, and the prosperity and cultural prosperity of the city are far from being comparable to those counties.

Yan Liqiang walked around the city for most of the day, and he also had an eye-opening feeling.

......

In the evening, when it was time for dinner, Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng had already come to the vicinity of the Kowloon Bridge in Pingxi City, just here at the Kowloon Bridge, they chose a four-story restaurant, and ate at a place by the window on the top floor of the restaurant.

Sitting by the window, looking out of the window, across a bridge, not far away, is the gathering area of the Shatu people in Pingxi City.

The Shatu gathering area is very large, occupying an area about the size of a town in the west of Pingxi City, and from a distance, you can see the buildings in the Shatu gathering area that are very different from those in Pingxi City, as well as the Shatu people coming and going in that area.

It may be an exaggeration to say that there are 100,000 Shatu people gathered in Pingxi City that day, but looking at the scale of this Shatu gathering area, there may still be 70,000 or 80,000 Shatu people.

Just now, Yan Liqiang originally wanted to call a carriage to take the two of them to the gathering area of the Shatu people, but the driver of the carriage said that he would not go to the gathering area of the Shatu people, even if Yan Liqiang tripled the price, the coachman still shook his head, and in the end the coachman only agreed to send them to the east side of the Kowloon Bridge, saying that he was not willing to go any further.

Yan Liqiang is also a master of art and bold, he just offended the Shatu people a few days ago, but in the blink of an eye, he dared to come to the Shatu gathering area to learn about the situation of the Shatu people, Yan Liqiang believes that the Shatu people want to retaliate against him It may be true, but the Shatu people cannot always grasp his whereabouts in Pingxi City in such a short period of time, even in the previous life, if you don't use some technical means, it is not so easy to grasp a person's whereabouts from time to time, let alone at this moment.

After walking around Pingxi City with Shi Dafeng for a day, Yan Liqiang didn't feel that he was being followed and peeped at, so he could rest assured to come and observe the current situation of the Shatu people.

This restaurant is in a downtown area like Jiulong Bridge, and when it comes to dinner at night, business should be booming, but Yan Liqiang found that the business of this restaurant and several restaurants next to it is not good, and the entire fourth floor, connected to the table of him and Shi Dafeng, there are more than ten tables on the fourth floor, and only three tables are seated.

"Xiao Er, why is the business of the restaurant here so deserted......" When Xiao Er brought up the dishes ordered by the two of them, Yan Liqiang took his eyes back from the gathering area of the Shatu people in the distance and asked Xiao Er a question.

"It's so close to the gathering area of the Shatu people, it's no wonder that the business can be good!" The shopkeeper sighed, "In the past, when the Shatu people had not expanded to the Jiulong Bridge, the business of our restaurant was good, but now, that's it, it's not dark yet, there are still a few people, and when it gets dark, I'm afraid I won't even see people on the road outside!"

"Why is it that there is no one on the road outside when it gets dark?"

"Guest officer, have you just come to Pingxi City?"

"yes......"

"Then it's no wonder!" Xiao Er shook his head, " It's okay here during the day, and every time it gets dark, there will be a lot of people on the side of the Shatu people, pretending to be drunk, groups of people on the street here, smashing bottles, yelling, harassing pedestrians and merchants on the road, so that for a long time, when it gets dark, there are fewer and fewer people on the east side of the Kowloon Bridge, and our business is becoming more and more difficult to do, this is the usual trick of those Shatu people, they just want to make our business slowly yellow, can't operate, no one dares to come, and then come to negotiate terms with us, want to rent or buy our restaurant at a low price, if you don't agree, they still have a variety of means to come, and it will get worse later, who in Pingxi City doesn't know ......"

"Does the yamen care?"

"There is the "Huai'en Order" to protect them, the so-called small mistakes are not corrected, and the general punishment does not dare to care, and as long as one Shatu person is arrested, countless Shatu people will jump out to make trouble, and the government yamen dare not do anything to them, we have a conflict with the Shatu people, obviously the Shatu people are unreasonable, we have suffered a loss, and the government will only let us endure and protect the Shatu people, and now our merchants on this street can only form their own chambers of commerce to protect themselves, and resist not allowing the Shatu people to expand their territory to the east of the Kowloon Bridge......"

"Is it like this all these years?"

"It's all like this, otherwise those Shatu people wouldn't have used all kinds of rogue bullies to occupy such a large piece of territory in our Pingxi City over the years......"

Listening to Xiao Er's words, Yan Liqiang's brows slowly furrowed......
