Watching the sunset sinking below the horizon, it had just turned dark, and the watchmen had already lit up the candle towers in every street and alley.
The candle tower is tall and long, thin at the bottom and thick at the top, in the shape of an inverted tower. It is filled with lamp oil made of pig fat and gelatin, which is flammable and resistant to burning. As soon as it is lit, it illuminates a large area extremely brightly.
Merchants on the street who do business at night will hang red lanterns high, making the surroundings of the store appear bright red.
When the store is closed, a small candle will be left in front of the plaque so that passers-by can clearly see their store name and know what kind of business this store is.
If you could fly to the sky above Yandi City and look down, you would see streets and alleys brightly lit, like flowing fire. There were people and traffic on the road, and it was extremely lively, not even worse than the urban streets where Li Fu lived in his previous life.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Fu leaned against the eaves of the carriage window and looked at the otherworldly street scene, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Some are novel, but also some are emotional and nostalgic.
Outside the carriage, the shouts and shouts of the merchants and footmen leading the carts and selling pulp could be heard one after another, and there were endless conversations and laughter from passers-by.
Inside the carriage, Fan Yong was chattering non-stop.
In his previous life, Li Fu came to a big city alone after graduating from university. Because he was in urgent need of money, he did not choose to work as a white-collar worker in an office building. He found a job that could earn two to three thousand yuan a month in exchange for the opportunity to advance in his future career.
Instead, I deliver food during the day and scold the security guard, and work as a security guard to stop the food delivery at night. It sounds unseemly, but it can instantly earn over 10,000 yuan a month.
The most important thing is that through crowdsourcing for food delivery, you can work today and get paid tomorrow, which can solve your urgent needs.
Life in big cities is very boring. Every day when you open your eyes, you have to use your cheap labor force in exchange for meager remuneration. The relationship between people is also very indifferent. Even if there is no intrigue, there is no friend with whom I can confide.
It has been a long time since Li Fu calmed down and took a look at the prosperity of the city. It’s been a long time since I relaxed and listened to my friends’ noises.
Therefore, Li Fu did not feel noisy and irritable at this moment, but felt quite beautiful.
Just to maintain the consistent personality of his predecessor, Li Fu still frowned slightly, acting as if he was a little impatient.
The luxurious carriage is extremely comfortable to sit on, and you can hardly feel any vibrations and bumps.
This time, Li Fu did not ride in his predecessor's favorite horse carriage, but chose a carriage without any logo of the patron palace, and traveled in a low-key manner.
But even though it was the most ordinary carriage in the palace of the patron prince, it was still extremely luxurious, causing pedestrians on the road to avoid it even when they were far away, for fear of accidentally bumping into the nobleman and getting burned.
After walking for almost half an hour, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley outside Jinshui Lake.
"Little prince, we've arrived." He Peijian's voice sounded outside the carriage.
Also to keep a low profile, Li Fu only took He Peijian with him as a guard when he went out this time. Of course, the masters and shadow guards who secretly protect him do not count.
The reason why he kept a low profile was not because Li Fu wanted to imitate the protagonist by pretending to be a pig and eat the tiger, but because he was afraid of disturbing his interest in having fun.
If you put on a show and show off your posture, you may not be able to play well tonight.
Li Fu got out of the car and saw an alley in front of him that the carriage could not pass. At this time, dozens of carriages were parked at the entrance of the alley, and a group of gentlemen who had also just arrived got out of the carriages.
Just walk through the alley and you will see the famous Jinshui Lake.
He threw two coins to the boy guarding the entrance of the alley and asked him to stop the carriage. He Peijian then quickly followed Li Fu, and the three of them walked into the alley together.
After passing through the slightly dark alley, the three people's eyes lit up.
All I saw was a huge man-made lake in front of me. The lake was illuminated by countless lights and looked like gold. It was extremely dazzling. This is why Jinshui Lake got its name!
On the lake, there are hundreds of large and small boats floating on the lake. Each boat is full of people, and the sound of men and women playing is endless. It is extremely lively.
Surrounding Jinshui Lake, there are restaurants, inns, casinos, animal fighting and other places. Every one of them is crowded with people and business is extremely booming.
Here is the most prosperous gold-selling cave in the entire Yandi City: Jinshui Lake.
Parked in the center of Jinshui Lake, the largest and most luxurious building is the world-famous Shihua Shuilou.
The rowboats and boats on Jinshui Lake are divided into five classes, ranging from one boat to five boats from low to high. Visitors need to buy tickets at the ferry first and then take the ferry boat into the lake. The higher the level, the fewer the boats and boats. For example, at the five-boat level, there is only one Shihua Shuilou.
Generally, it only takes a few coins to board a ship-level ship. As for the Five Boats Picking Up Flowers Water Tower, the boat ticket alone costs ten coins!
Dayan's currency is divided into three types: copper coins, silver coins, and money. They are coins made of copper, liquid silver, and fine gold respectively. The exchange ratio from high to low is one to one hundred.
This Shihuashui House is indeed the top brothel in Dayan. A ten-dollar boat ticket is already the total cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation for an ordinary family of three for two or three years!
Even some wealthy families cannot afford the consumption of Shihua Shuilou. It can also be seen from this that no one who can go to Shihuashui Tower to have fun is an ordinary person.
In the ferry, there are young men from various buildings and boats, responsible for selling tickets.
In order to attract passengers, in addition to the waiters who sell tickets, register and arrange guests, other ferries often have several women standing in provocative clothes, showing off their movements, and with gorgeous and charming looks, constantly making noises to attract guests who enter the ferry.
Some people were aroused by the fragrant fragrance, and held their white and slender little hands, and then they paid for the tickets in a daze and got on the boat.
But Shihuashui Building is different. Except for a few reception boys, there are no means of soliciting customers. He won't take the initiative to solicit customers, and will only wait for the customers to come up and buy tickets on their own.
Information dissemination in this world is not well developed. The way for two people who have never met each other to understand each other's identity is often not to look at the face, but to look at the more representative objects or characteristics on and around the other person, so this low-key trip was Li Fu was not recognized.
But even so, just by looking at the clothes and demeanor of the three Li Fus, one can guess that they have extraordinary origins and are definitely not ordinary people.
Therefore, those boys who came in one boat and two boats were very polite and did not come to solicit customers, asking for trouble. Only three or four boats of boys came around, but He Peijian raised his hand to fend them off.
As the younger brother, Fan Yong took the lead and walked to the Shihua Shui Tower and shouted: "Come here and breathe!"
Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of the three of them, a young man from the Shihua Shui Tower hurriedly came up to greet him, with a smile on his face and said: "The three young masters looked at each other very nervously, but this is the first time they come to our Shihua Shui Tower? Dare I ask? What are your surnames, three gentlemen? Please come in quickly, there is a ferry boat dedicated to our Shihua Shui Tower, waiting for distinguished guests!"
