Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 378 Entering the Big City and Starting Shopping

The state capital and the county town are different.

Standing on a slightly higher ground and looking around, the city is endless, as if connected to the horizon. It is at least as big as twenty or more county towns.

Qiao Lianer estimated that Yuezhou had a population of 500,000, which was a considerable number in ancient times.

How many shops can be taken over?

Only when faced with such a world did she realize how insignificant the twenty thousand taels in her hand were.

She wants to continue making money, lots of money.

"Yuezhou City is really huge. I thought Ning County and Yongguan County were big enough. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have known there was more out there."

"I can't imagine how big the capital city will be."

Da Meng was filled with emotion.

"Come on, Big Brother Meng, let's go into the city."

Qiao Dameng went to unpack his luggage.

"Scythe must be hungry. I've slowed down. You can eat on horseback."

In the morning, Mrs. Wan made meat buns for them to eat on the road. At noon, each of them ate two and then continued on their journey.

Qiao Jianer said, "We're already in the city, what else should we eat? Of course, we should try the local specialties. That way, our trip won't be in vain."

Qiao Dameng thought about it and agreed, so he rode his horse into the city.

The guard at the gate looked at the pass, collected three copper coins per day, and let us pass.

"Kan'er, where are we going now?"

Qiao Dameng discovered that although he was older than Qiao Jianer, he was used to letting Qiao Jianer make the decisions on everything.

Because Jianer's idea is the best.

Of course, if there is any danger, he will stand in front of his sister.

"If you want to buy something on the main street, buy the best shop. The food and accommodation there are also the best."

We walked for a while to the central street, and it was dark when we arrived.

Qiao Lianer chose an inn, booked two rooms, and then went downstairs to eat.

I asked around when I entered the city, and learned that roast duck and chopped pepper fish head are two of the most famous dishes here, and almost all inns and restaurants serve them.

After ordering these two dishes, a vegetable dish, and a soup dish, the brother and sister sat by the window and had a drink.

Qiao Jianer drank while looking at the street.

Lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, lighting up the road and shops. There was no end in sight. Shops and restaurants were lined up on both sides, crowded together. At night, the crowds became sparse, but some shops were still open. The goods inside were of a higher quality and more diverse than those in the county town.

The waiter came over to refill the wine, and Qiao Jianer asked, "Brother Xiaoer, are there many shops in Yuezhou City that have made a move?"

"Not many. I can barely find one every ten days or half a month."

“Is it because business is good?”

"Business is another matter, little girl. This is your first time here, right? The main reason is that our Yuezhou City is huge. It's the center of more than 20 counties under its jurisdiction. Many people are eager to come here to buy shops and houses. Even if a shop is not doing business or renting it out, the price will continue to rise year by year."

"Unless there's something urgent going on at home and they need money, most people rarely think of selling their shop."

"Not to mention our main street, even the streets a little further out are very popular. As long as there's a lot of traffic, there's no shortage of rents, and there's no shortage of customers for business."

So, she might return empty-handed this time? Qiao Jian'er was still hoping to buy at least ten shops.

"Jian'er, ask tomorrow. If there is really nothing for sale, we will rush back and there is no need to delay here." Dameng said.

"Brother Da Meng, I have other things to do. You have responsibilities now and cannot leave the camp for too long. You can go back tomorrow. You don't have to worry about me in the city. If you are really worried, come and pick me up in three days."

"What are you going to do?" Da Meng asked curiously.

"It's hard to say now, but I need to stay."

Da Meng thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with his sister's ideas and decisions, it was just that sometimes it was not convenient to tell her family about them.

"Then there's no point in me going back and forth like this. I'll just stay with you in Yuezhou. As long as I'm not away for too long, you don't have to worry about the camp. My eldest and second brothers will train with my soldiers."

The next day, Da Meng was responsible for finding out where there were shops, restaurants, or even houses to sell.

Qiao Jianer rode his big red bicycle to the provincial government office to try his luck and see if Gao Shuying was there.

To avoid trouble, she took out her military advisor token as soon as she saw the guard at the door.

"I'm the military advisor of the Guanning Iron Cavalry in Ning County. If you have any questions, please speak to Constable Gao."

She is not so thin now, and her face is serious and her aura is very imposing, she really has a bit of the style of a military advisor.

The guard hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go in and report it. One more thing is better than one less. What if it was true? If he was disrespectful, wouldn’t he be in trouble?

"I just finished my shift. I don't know if Constable Gao has returned to the yamen or is still out on a mission. Military Advisor, please wait a moment. I'll go take a look first."

After waiting for a while, the guard came back.

"Reporting to the military advisor, Constable Gao is not here."

"How long does it usually take to come back?"

"He's been gone for half a month, probably in the next two days. When he comes back, he'll stay for about three days. How about we wait a little longer and ask again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Qiao Jianer took a few steps and saw someone coming towards him.

Who else could have such a heroic aura but Gao Shuying?

"Sister Gao."

Gao Shuying thought she was hallucinating, but when she looked carefully, she saw that it was really Qiao Lianer.

"Kan'er, why are you here?"

She walked over quickly and put her hand on Qiao Jianer's shoulder.

"I came here to buy a shop and visit Sister Gao."

Gao Shuying's face was moved: "Good sister, it's great to have you."

"How about this, you go to Cuiweixuan and wait for me. I'll finish my task first and then come see you."

"Follow this street for about half a mile, and you'll find Cuiweixuan near the center."

"It might take a little while, about half an hour, so you can take a walk around first."

Qiao Jianer nodded.

The shops in the big city are fun to visit. There are a wide variety of goods of high quality. The spices are delicate and fragrant, the exquisite accessories are dazzling, the beautiful clothes are dazzling, and the handicrafts carved by talented artists are lifelike. Qiao Lian'er bought everything she liked and also bought toys for Guan Xue and Guan Song.

All of these are placed in the space warehouse.

Now that the storage function is turned on, it is so convenient that she feels her life has become much better.

When the time was almost up, Qiao Lianer entered Cuiweixuan, ordered some tea and snacks, and then waited for Gao Shuying.

After describing the situation during this period, Gao Shuying hurried over to receive a new assignment.

"Little girl, tell me what you want my help with."

"Sister Gao, I came to see you."

Qiao Jianer winked at her.

Gao Shuying smiled and scratched her cheek: "I believe you have this intention, but I can also see that you have something to worry about."

Want to trick a seasoned veteran like her? You're underestimating her.

"Indeed, I want to trouble Sister Gao." Qiao Lian'er did not hide it. Anyway, Gao Shuying would understand as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Okay, go ahead." Gao Shuying said straightforwardly.

Qiao Jianer looked at her.

"Sister Gao, I want to know where Brother Wei's aunt and uncle's home is located."
