Mingzhu County Town.
It is an old city with a long history and rich cultural heritage.
In ancient times, it was still called a prefecture or county.
It only gradually fell behind after entering the new era, but its profound cultural heritage remains.
The next two or three decades of development will be passable, at least in terms of population and economy.
Plus, it's a coastal city!
It has become a popular destination for many people to travel and retire.
"Is this the city?"
"So many tall buildings and cars..."
As soon as we exited the bus station.
Fang Qiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It should be noted that most of the houses in the village are still tiled, and the buildings in the town are only three or four stories high.
It can't compare to the county town.
The station, with its eight or nine floors, looks spectacular.
Most importantly, the vehicles and pedestrians on the road have an atmosphere that no village can compare to.
That was truly eye-opening and enlightening!
At least that was the case for Fang Qiang and the others; they had never seen anything like this before.
"You little brat!"
"It's like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. I won't know what a real big city is until I have the chance to go to Kyoto."
Fang Hao couldn't help but laugh and joke.
This is the first time a rural resident has come to the city.
I was definitely very excited and shocked.
Unlike him, who experienced the rapid development of later generations, the county town now looks incredibly backward; even the towns and villages of later generations are much better.
It's like if you've used a smartphone before, and then go back to using a traditional brick phone, you're unlikely to feel any shock.
This is exactly how Fang Hao feels right now.
Looking at Mingzhu County in the 1990s, I only feel a sense of déjà vu.
Let's go!
"Let's first check the price of gold pearls at Mingzhu Pavilion in the center of the county. If the price isn't good, we'll have to transfer to the city to take a look..."

As he spoke, Fang Hao took the initiative to lead the way.
Then he took Song Yaxin's hand.
The other person was taken aback at first and seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end, they still couldn't break free.
I arrived in an unfamiliar place.
I still felt a little scared and uneasy.
Being led by Fang Hao did indeed make me feel more at ease.
Moreover, Fang Hao was her husband, not an outsider, and she was secretly pleased and pleased by his actions.
When a woman starts to like a man, she will not resist his physical contact, and may even consciously or unconsciously try to accommodate him.
Then.
The three of them walked directly to the center of the county town.
There are the largest department stores and shops there, and a street dedicated to buying and selling antiques and jewelry.
It is considered the most prosperous area in the entire Mingzhu County.
Right now, Fang Hao wants to go to a well-known jewelry and antique shop in the county to check prices.
Mingzhu Pavilion!
People from other places might not recognize it.
However, many wealthy locals recognize this old shop that has been passed down for two or three hundred years.
They claim to be honest and trustworthy, regardless of age!
The shop both buys and sells treasures.
Fang Hao didn't choose to go directly to the city because he came here specifically for this time-honored shop.
In my past life.
He also came once with his cronies.
At that time, they brought some old items from the other party's home to sell.
The price is quite reasonable!
"It's so lively!"
The three arrived at the center of the county town.
The scene before us was incomparable to anything in town.
.
In the early 1990s, Mingzhu County had many pillar industries.
The commercial economy is developing quite well.
"Hahaha~"
"This is the very heart of the county town; many people like to come here to visit—"
Regarding Song Yaxin's reaction.
Fang Hao couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
The town center features a roundabout and crossroads layout. At the center of the roundabout is a square with a sculpture that embodies the culture of Mingzhu County – two dragons playing with a pearl.
Moreover, the road is lined with shops on all sides!
The tallest building is one of the landmark buildings in the county.
Mingzhu Department Store!
These days, department stores are definitely shopping paradises in people's minds, and every city must have one or two department stores that are highly sought after and recognized.
"Brother Hao!"
"Where are we going?"
Fang Qiang was also extremely shocked.
In his eyes, the department store, which had more than ten floors, was simply the tallest building he had ever seen in his life.
But...
He had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.
That's because they came for the gold and pearls.
"Come with me!"
"Go to that shop up ahead..."
After Fang Hao finished speaking, he walked directly to the shop called Mingzhu Pavilion not far away. Even in later years, this shop was still doing very well.
That's because it has a solid foundation and a good reputation.
At least the brand name is there!
A few minutes later.
The three of them walked directly to the store entrance.
Looking at the three-story building in front of me, I was still a little excited and shocked.
At the very top is a gold-plated plaque that reads: Mingzhu Pavilion.
The building's architectural style is a fusion of modern commercial buildings and ancient culture.
The front features a multi-tiered hip roof design, with each tier covered in yellow glazed tiles and slightly upturned eaves, giving it a distinctly ancient architectural feel.
,
Fang Hao could clearly feel that Song Yaxin's little hands were a bit sweaty, and she seemed a little nervous and anxious, after all, it was her first time in such a place.
If it were Fang Hao's first time here, he would feel the same way. People always feel inexplicably awkward when they see something they've never seen before or experience a scene they've never been before.
"Boss!"
Do you have pearls here?
As soon as you enter the store.
Fang Hao asked directly.
I'm going to find out how much gold pearls cost.
Otherwise, if I just bring out the gold and pearls, I don't know if the price they ask for is reasonable or not.
How can you negotiate a price if you don't have a bottom line in mind?
"some!"
"How could our Mingzhu County not have this? Pearls are the essence of our local culture—"
The boss is a 60-year-old man.
He glanced at her as he said this.
Mingzhu County is famous for its pearl production, and it would be unreasonable for the most famous old brand shop in the area not to have pearls.
"Where are the gold and pearls?"
Fang Hao asked another question.
After all, that's what he has in his hand.
All I want to know right now is how much the golden pearl is actually worth.
"Of course there are!"
"However, golden pearls are a bit expensive."
Jin Huixing was also somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, this young man in front of me mentioned gold pearls right away. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they didn't seem like people who could afford gold pearls.
"How much?"
Fang Hao continued, asking another question.
If we have it, things will be much easier!
"Come this way with me."
"I'll give you a more detailed introduction."
Jin Huixing gestured.
He led Fang Hao and the other two to the central area of the store, clearly intending to give them a tour.
"OK!"
Fang Hao was not intimidated.
He then took a step and followed.
Hopefully, this gold bead will fetch a higher price.
This way, we'll have more money to spare, since we still owe our four older sisters tens of thousands of yuan for buying the fishing boat.
They need to make money as soon as possible.
Only by being debt-free can you feel truly carefree!
'
"
Song Yaxin and Fang Qiang could only follow behind, as they were not quite used to such an occasion.
