As soon as Bai Gu visited Xuefeng, he immediately rushed to Yunshui City.
Although the things and things before departure are almost ready, there are still two important things left, the carriage and the inn, especially the rental of the carriage.
Bai Gu didn't want to delay the matter too long and hastily, so it was best to negotiate the rental period and price of the carriage today.
Inns are easy to find. There are no less than 200 inns in Yunshui City alone, not to mention a post hotel?
No matter what happens, if you go to Cheung Chau Pharmacy and say you want to stay overnight, I believe Mr. Wu will not refuse.
Bai Gu thought that if he could get these two things done today, he could accompany Bai Xiaoxiao to visit Yunshui City and eat some delicious food all day tomorrow.
Otherwise, since selling the snake scales, it seems that Bai Xiaoxiao has not been brought to Yunshui City for a serious meal.
Except for bringing food back these two days.
If you don’t eat it while it’s hot and lively, it wouldn’t be a feast.
This is very inappropriate!
When he thought of this, Bai Gu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The pace of his feet became much faster.
After some inquiring, Bai Gu came to a carriage and horse shop on Zhusha Street in the west of the city. It was called Shanshui Fang. It was the largest carriage and horse shop in Yunshui City.
Bai Gu stood across the street, looking at Shanshui Fang, which although it only had two floors, occupied an area comparable to ten large shops, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's so luxurious!"
Shanshui Fang occupies almost a whole piece of small market land. Other small markets of the same size can accommodate thirty-six large shops, but here Shanshui Fang takes up more than thirty-five shops, leaving only the northwest area. In the corner, there is a noodle soup shop run by an old couple who is struggling to survive.
Otherwise, the land in this city will be completely occupied by Shanshui Square.
The feat of one store occupying one market is unprecedented in the history of Yunshui City.
There are doors on all sides of Shanshui Square, and they are all gates that can pass two carriages walking side by side at the same time. The lobby is even more clearly divided into different sections and extremely spacious, without any problems of crowding or ventilation.
Although the construction materials of the entire Shanshui Fang do not look luxurious, judging from the fact that it has endured hundreds of years of wind and rain without damage, the materials used are extremely durable.
In Bai Gu's view, Shanshui Fang only needs to ensure that the store does not collapse. The clerks, carriages, and coachmen in the store are the most important.
The price of a carriage is not low. Even the worst carriage costs fifty taels of silver.
What's more, the quality of the carriages in Shanshui Square varies, and the quantity is even greater. Based on the total value of the carriage alone, Bai Gu couldn't guarantee that the gold on his body would be stable.
In addition, the employment and training of the clerks and coachmen in Shanshui Workshop are all tangible or intangible investments and value manifestations, which are probably only much more than the total value of the carriages in the shop.
The most terrifying thing is that I heard that this Shanshui Fang is just a branch, and the real headquarters is somewhere else!
If the branch alone is of such scale, wouldn't the headquarters be even more exaggerated?
Bai Gu withdrew his gaze and walked straight towards Shanshui Fang.
As soon as he crossed the gate, Bai Gu felt the strength of Shanshui Fang more intuitively.
After the four gates, there is the first partition, which is the most common carriage and horse area.
The carriage and horse area in Shanshui Fang is divided into three divisions: heaven, earth and people, and the carriage is also divided into four levels, A, B, C and D. The outermost ordinary carriage and horse area is the herringbone area, where there are also two types of carriages: Bing and Ding.
A thin boy who was no different from Bai Gu came over and said with a smile: "Do you want to rent a carriage or buy a carriage and horses? Our store also has maps and regional information for buying and selling. What kind of carriage do you need?" Where’s the service?”
Bai Gu raised his eyebrows, "Do you still sell maps here?"
"Yes, because some passengers need to travel far. If their plans change and they need to change their route, the map will come in handy. And the passengers who come here to rent carriages and horses can buy our map at half price. "The guy said slowly with a signature smile on his face.
"So what kind of maps do you have? I'm afraid it's not enough to just buy a map for a place that's too far away?"
"This depends on the level of the map. The map levels in our store are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. Level D is the most common parchment map. Level C is a more advanced spliced map. One map can accommodate several levels of D. The contents of the map can be viewed at will. As for the two maps A and B above, they need to be driven by spiritual power. This kind of map is very accessible to people, and the price will be very high. But the scope of the map is larger The bigger, the more detailed the content you view, the more value for money you will get." The clerk patiently explained to Bai Gu, not forgetting to bring him a glass of warm water, "Guest, please rest assured, the quality of the maps in our store is excellent. Guaranteed. If the damage is caused by our store, as long as you present the receipt, our store will unconditionally replace it for you and upgrade the map level for you for free. This clause is common to all branches, you only need to find the local branch of our store It’s ready to be replaced.”
Bai Gu took the water cup and took a sip, "Do you still provide services for cultivators here?"
The waiter nodded and said, "Your guest should know that our shop is doing well because of everyone's love for it, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger, so we are gradually getting in touch with people who practice spiritual practice. Could it be that your guest is also a spiritual person?" "
Bai Gu thought for a moment and finally admitted, "That's right."
"The little one is too blind to see. Please come here." The waiter quickly led Bai Gu to the middle counter, opened one of the large wooden doors from both sides, and walked in.
The lobby on the first floor of Shanshui Fang is basically divided into three parts.
The first part is the outermost herringbone area, which is a ring-shaped area used to receive ordinary people. Four five-meter-high walls were erected in the middle, surrounded by a circle of counters, and two large wooden doors were opened on both sides as the passage to the Dizi area.
After passing the big wooden gate, there is an area dedicated to receiving some distinguished guests and some ordinary practitioners.
The second-class carriages here are made of high-quality materials supplemented by some materials with spiritual power, so whether it is durability or driving speed, they are incomparable to the second-class carriages and Ding-class carriages.
Of course, the price required is also incomparable.
The waiter took Bai Gu into a private room and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'm going to call Shanshui Lang here."
Shanshui Lang is a type of clerk in a carriage shop, who is responsible for drinking tea and chatting with customers, telling them about the road conditions, and winning over business. They need young men who are good-looking and good-natured.
As for why women are not used, it is because Shanshui Lang needs to conduct field exploration frequently, and there are many dangerous mountains and rivers that even men find difficult to survive.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Shanshui Fang made the position of Shanshui Lang a full-time job for men.
As for the women who also meet the conditions of Shanshui Lang, Shanshui Fang does not have no arrangements, but arranges them as Wenzhu Guests, who are responsible for chatting with some elegant people, discussing calligraphy and painting, drinking tea and admiring the scenery.
The position of Wenzhuke is available to both men and women. Even if they travel, they go to some quiet and peaceful places, and they are accompanied by landscapers.
Wenzhuke and Shanshuilang are at the same level. Although they are responsible for slightly similar matters, there are still some differences in the breakdown.
The landscape man needs to frequently visit dangerous mountains and rivers, while the literary man needs to be good at poetry and painting, and be versatile and different.
Bai Gu raised his head and glanced around the environment in the box.
A picture of fish swimming in a mountain stream hangs in the box, and a small welcoming pine is placed on the other side.
The top is hollowed out, which not only allows for natural light in the lobby, but also does not affect ventilation.
There are luminous pearls hanging on all sides of the wall, which are usually just used for decoration. When the weather is bad, the lobby is dimly lit, or night comes, these four luminous pearls take on the role of lighting, illuminating the entire box.
On the side far from the door, there is a wooden couch with a tea table rising in the middle. It is here when you want to talk.
Just as Bai Gu sat down, there was a knock on the door, and then a slender young man walked in.
When the young man saw Bai Gu, he was startled for a moment, and then out of professional habit, he bowed to Bai Gu and said, "I met the distinguished guest in Xizhou, Shanshui Lang Wang, Xiashanshui Fang."
Wang Xizhou was stunned just now because he didn't expect that the distinguished guest he was receiving this time would be such a young child, and he would be dressed in such... disgraceful ways.
But according to what the guy just said, is this person a spiritual practitioner?
I don’t know if it’s true or false.
If he is really a practicing person, he really cannot be judged by his appearance.
If it's fake, it's easy, just ask someone to "invite" them out.
However, Shanshui Fang is considered a big business in Yunshui City. No one should be so free, so why not use Shanshui Fang to enjoy it? Isn’t this making yourself unhappy?
But Wang Xizhou has traveled all over the country and has seen many practitioners, but he has never seen a practitioner like this.
Today is an eye-opener.
