The first seventeen chapters: Beihai County, Jiangyang enters the Grand View Garden
Originally arriving in the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Yang thought about the time and took the escort team to rest outside the city for a night.
Early the next morning, we rented a carriage and walked slowly in.
This Beihai County is indeed a county town, but it is much larger than the county magistrate in Xiami County, a full four or five times more.
Officers and soldiers lined up to patrol at the city gate, and many merchants and people came in and out.
There are still many heroic officers and soldiers standing on the city wall.
The thick city wall tightly protects the people in the county.
Naturally, Jiang Yang and his party were also questioned. After showing their seals and official documents, the officers and soldiers were allowed to go.
After entering the city, Jiang Yang was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything he saw was strange.
Just like the monkey who has been suppressed in Wuzhishan for five hundred years, everything he sees is fun.
No wonder, in a remote and poor place like Xiami County, there is not even a decent brothel, let alone any delicious food.
Jiang Yang saw that in the county town of Beihai County, there were many stalls on both sides of the street, and he could even smell the fragrance from a distance.
Moreover, there are many shops passing by, selling jade, antiques, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and fabrics.
There are many scholars, common people, and women on the road shopping happily.
Jiang Yang took a deep breath, he still had a long way to go in Mi County.
Officials themselves have special inns.
But Jiang Yang did not choose to go. Instead, he found a good-looking inn in the city and booked the entire second floor of his hotel.
Why don't you go out and play to make me happy?
It was also the first time for the innkeeper to see such a big customer as Jiang Yang, so he naturally provided excellent service.
"Master, look at this place. It is not only quiet but also has beautiful scenery. It is the best place for us." Xiao'er led Jiang Yang to a simple second floor behind the inn, nodded and bowed.
Jiang Yang took out a silver coin from his arms, which was very heavy.
He patted the waiter's hand grandly and said: "Give us a portion of all the delicious food in your store. We brothers have not had a good meal after traveling all day long."
"Chengchengcheng, sir, please sit down for a moment, I will add a pot of hot tea for you, and then tell the kitchen to start the fire immediately." The waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic.
Taking a clean white rag, Jiang Yang wiped the tables, chairs and benches a little more.
After bringing a pot of tea, he respectfully closed the door and left.
Jiang Yang took a gentle sniff and found that the tea was rather bitter and lacked the aroma of tea. It seemed that the method of frying tea was still a bit backward.
"Sir, why don't we go find that trading company?" Shi Gaofeng asked in a low voice because he knew Jiang Yang's purpose of coming to Beihai County.
"There's no rush." Jiang Yang would not be so stupid as to rush over and ask around as soon as he arrived in Beihai County, begging his grandfather and grandma to sell me the iron.
This is not to say to the other party: "Brother, look at me, I am a sheep, he is fat and tender."
"We'll be in Beihai County for two days now, and we'll find out more information later." Jiang Yang wanted to inquire about the specific situation of this business.
Don't get caught up in the fairy dance in this shopping mall.
Then it would be a shame to throw it to grandma's house.
"Okay." Shi Gaofeng was a little unhappy, but he hoped that Jiang Yang could finish these things quickly and go back early.
Otherwise, they would be on tenterhooks every day.
But right now, I can only sigh silently in my heart.
Soon the waiter in the shop prepared a sumptuous meal and served it. As usual, six tables were prepared so that everyone in the escort could eat.
It looks bright in color and very appetizing.
But when everyone used their chopsticks, they found that this was not as good as the food in Mi County.
I don't know what the difference is, but it just feels weird.
"Sir, the taste of this food seems to be a lot worse." Shi Gaofeng picked up a dish with chopsticks and chewed it carefully.
But he is just a rough guy. Even if he tastes bad food, he can't describe it.
Jiang Yang had already expected that the food in Xiami County mostly used chicken essence, which was extremely delicious.
Although you can’t eat as well as Yuelai Hotel every meal.
But even the "big pot rice" served in Xiami County is much better than what's served outside.
Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Do you think we can make a lot of money by building a Yuelai Hotel here?"
"That's right, that tastes so good, these people will definitely like it." Shi Gaofeng said with his mouth full.
The other members of the escort also nodded one after another.
Jiang Yang figured it out in his mind and said, "I'll go out for a walk in the afternoon. You guys can rest in the inn and don't cause trouble."
"No, my lord, you are worth a thousand dollars, just in case..." Shi Gaofeng quickly put down his chopsticks.
What happened at the border of Xiami County shocked him.
If something happened in Beihai County, I would really have to go back with my head high.
The man in front of me seems to be a bit hateful. He has to mind the business on the roadside and go out alone? Doesn't the risk factor increase exponentially?
Jiang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "What danger can I pose if I just wander around the city? Besides, what do you think of following me? A young man from a wealthy family going out on the street to rob a common girl?"
Not to mention, Jiang Yang was only in his early twenties, and he was well-dressed at the moment, although the clothes were not made of expensive fabrics.
But he does look like a handsome young man, not to mention if there are so many people behind him.
It really looked like a bully young master taking to the streets.
Shi Gaofeng shook his head, looked at Jiang Yang pitifully and said: "Sir, then bring five people. Is it normal for five people?"
"Okay then." Jiang Yang stopped trying.
After arriving here, Jiang Yang relaxed a lot and stopped thinking about things in Mi County for the time being.
After eating, I took a good nap.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was almost setting over the mountains, so Jiang Yang set off with his people.
I had already asked Shi Gaofeng to change his clothes, and planned to give him some sort of identity as a general manager.
But when Jiang Yang saw each other, he decided to forget it and said in a low voice: "When you get out, you call me Young Master, and I'll call you Guardian."
"Okay, sir." Shi Gaofeng quickly responded with his hands in hand.
It just made Jiang Yang roll his eyes.
As evening approaches, the streets in Beihai County become more lively and crowded with people.
It can even be said that the traffic is inconvenient, with many wealthy families riding horse-drawn carriages stuck in the middle of the road.
It seems that transportation has been a big problem since ancient times.
Jiang Yang walked with a smile and saw many novel things along the way, which he found very interesting.
There was also some food to eat. Jiang Yang bought some fruits and some snacks, including wontons, and tried some of them.
Jiang Yang was also interested in some shops on the roadside and went in to chat with the shop assistants.
Ask if this thing sells well, if many people buy it, if it makes money, etc.
At first, the store clerk answered patiently, but when he saw that Jiang Yang was the unintended seller, he immediately kicked him out.
