Chapter 2281
After leaving the beautiful scenery of the Pearl River, Ye Chen hurried to the vegetable market.
There was a lot of time delay. If I didn’t hurry up and buy the groceries, my wife would not be able to have lunch when she got home from get off work.
Although Jinling is an ancient city, its modern atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The buildings in the old city have been destroyed, demolished, and renovated. Now they have basically transformed into the style of high-rise buildings in modern cities.
Many traditional crafts and markets in the past have gradually been replaced by various high-end shops and comprehensive supermarkets.
In the early years, there were many barbers on the roadside. They were very good at shaving heads and faces. For two or three yuan, you could sit on the roadside and have your head shaved.
But now, it has long since disappeared.
Instead, there are all kinds of dazzling, high-end beauty and hair salons. Teacher Tony, whose skills are not very good and whose hair is not even long, can cut hair for one or two hundred yuan. Occasionally,
When encountering unscrupulous merchants, it is common to trick customers into applying for a card, getting a haircut, and being cheated out of thousands of dollars.
In the past, there were many carriages and donkey carts on the roadside. Farmers in the countryside would pick vegetables from the fields themselves in the morning and then drive them to the city to sell them. The vegetables, fruits and vegetables were fresh and cheap.
However, in recent years, animal-drawn vehicles are no longer allowed into the city, and even traditional vegetable markets have become fewer and fewer, so that most people can only go to supermarkets to buy vegetables.
The quality of vegetables in the supermarket is not very good, but the price is surprisingly expensive. Just buy a cabbage for more than ten yuan.
This also caused this ancient city to gradually lose the fireworks atmosphere of traditional life.
In fact, Ye Chen usually doesn't like going to the supermarket to buy groceries, it always feels a bit boring.
Therefore, he often goes to a protected old residential area in the old city, where there is a very lively vegetable market.
The reason why he likes to go to that old residential area is not only because it is more down-to-earth, but there is also another reason hidden in Ye Chen's heart that no one has told.
In the past, when he and his parents first arrived in Jinling, their parents particularly liked the characteristics of the old town of Jinling.
There are many old-fashioned buildings left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. This architectural style is very different from that in the north, and my parents like it very much.
Because of their love for traditional culture, his parents rented an old house in the old city. After being renovated by his father, the family lived very comfortably.
Later, something happened to his parents and Ye Chen entered the orphanage. He would often sneak out with his friends Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen to visit the old city.
At that time, Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen thought that Ye Chen was just playful and wanted to sneak out to play.
But what they don't know is that Ye Chen actually just misses his parents.
After his parents had an accident that year, the house was rented out for several years, and tenants changed one after another.
Later, the house was bought by real estate investors and awaited demolition and appreciation.
Later, the house and nearby old buildings were classified as historical building protection zones, and demolition and renovation were prohibited, so the house remained vacant for a long time.
Ye Chen had also quietly inquired. It was said that the person who invested in this house was the founder of a real estate speculator group in Wencheng. Although this old house could not be cashed in, to him, this little money was nothing.
, so the house has been left like this.
Later, the real estate speculator was involved in a lawsuit because he was suspected of illegally raising funds overseas, and the house was sealed by the court.
There were rumors about an auction two or three years ago, but because that person was involved in a relatively large case, the case has not been finalized in the past two years, so it has never entered the legal auction process.
The vegetable market where Ye Chen went to buy vegetables was not far from this old house, so he planned to stop by and take a look.
Just as Ye Chen was riding his bike, a Rolls-Royce had parked in front of this mottled old house.
An old man got out of the co-pilot of the Rolls-Royce. This man was the old butler of the Du family in Jinling.
