1158 The Gu family in Fuzhou
Kun city this year was completely different from last year.
The streets were cleaner and more people were on the streets. The people of kun city were no longer listless. Instead, they were in high spirits.
During spring, Gu Xin scattered a lot of flowers. Although the flowering period had pa.s.sed, the small trees planted at a distance still had some green leaves, making people feel at ease when they saw them.
A group of merchants came from the official road from the northeast gate. They were tea merchants from Jiangnan. Usually, it was the manager who was here. This time, the young master of the family came directly.
He was the successor trained by the master of the Gu family in Fuzhou, Gu chengyun. After he entered the city gate, he was surprised.
The last time he came to kun city was when he was 16 years old, which was five years ago.
He didn’t believe the steward’s description of the changes in kun city, so he planned to come here this year during the new year.
“Stop the car!” Gu chengyun stopped the carriage.
“What’s wrong, young master?” The coachman thought that something had happened.
“I’m fine,” Gu chengyun got off the carriage, tidied his clothes, and said, ” you guys go back to the house first. I’ll take a walk around the city.
“Alright,” he said. The coachman cracked his whip and continued to move forward.
Gu chengyun, with his attendants, looked at a novel building not far away. People of all ages were coming in and out of the building in a hurry, and he was quite curious about it.
After he walked in, he pulled an old man and asked, ” “Old man, this place isn’t big, what’s it for?”
The old man glanced at Gu chengyun and pointed to the sign hanging on a big tree not far away, which had been blown away by the wind, ” “Aiyo, the wind is strong. This is the toilet, the public toilet of our kun city. Everyone can use it. ”
Gu chengyun was confused.
The old man chuckled and said,”young master, you don’t look like a local. From your accent, you must be from Jiangnan!” It’s normal that you don’t know. You can give it a try. It’s really useful. This was the toilet, but there was no smell, right? Hahahaha, this was made by the county magistrate’s child! There are three places in kun city that you must go. Are you in a hurry?”
“What do you mean?” Gu chengyun was stunned.
The old man pointed to the public toilet and then to Gu chengyun’s stomach.
Gu chengyun reacted,”no hurry, no hurry.” I didn’t know what this room was for, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. By the way, old man, which of the three places you must go to in kun city? I’ve been to kun city a few years ago, but I only know that the trading area is trading with the neighboring countries. Where are these three places now?”
The old man chuckled and had a very proud look. young man, there are three places in kun city that you must go to. One of them is the public toilet!
After he finished speaking, he paused.
Gu chengyun was dumbfounded again. It was just a toilet. Even if it was shared, everyone could use it. Why did he have to go?
The old man liked to see him acting like a country b.u.mpkin. He smiled and said, ” “There’s a universe inside. Young man, just remember this! He had to go and take a look later. “Secondly, it’s the trading area that you just mentioned. However, it’s no longer called the trading area. It’s called the snack Street. The food on this snack Street covers all kinds of delicacies from the North, South, East, and West. There are even delicacies that can’t be found anywhere else in the great Zhou Dynasty. People from neighboring countries were even willing to pay ten wens to enter the city because of this food street. Not only do the neighboring countries like to eat it, but we, the people of great Zhou, also like to eat it. ”
