Chapter 2281
???
Leaving Lijing of Pearl River, Ye Chen hurried to the vegetable market.
Time has been delayed a lot, so if I don’t hurry up and buy the vegetables, my wife will not be able to have lunch when she comes 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 modified. Now they have basically become the style of high-rise buildings in modern cities.
In the past, many traditional crafts and markets were gradually replaced by various high-end shops and comprehensive supermarkets.
In the early years, there were many barbers on the roadside, and their craftsmanship was excellent. They could sit on the roadside for two or three dollars to shave their heads.
But now, it has long disappeared.
Instead, there are various dazzling and high-end and atmospheric beauty and hair salon centers. Teacher Tony, who has poor skills and does not even have complete hair, starts with one or two hundred yuan for casual cutting of hair. Occasionally, when encountering immoral merchants, they will fool customers to apply for cards, and those who cut their hair are cheated of thousands of yuan for cutting are everywhere.
In the past, there were many horse-drawn carriages and donkey carriages on the roadside. The farmers in the country picked vegetables from the fields in the morning and then drove them to the city to sell them. Vegetables, fruits and melons were both fresh and cheap.
However, over the years, livestock carts have not been allowed to enter the city, and even the 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. It costs more than ten yuan to buy a cabbage.
This also made this ancient city gradually lose the fireworks of traditional life.
In fact, Ye Chen usually doesn’t like to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and he always feels that he is less meaningful.
Therefore, he often went to a protected old residential area in the old city, where there was a very lively vegetable market.
The reason why I like to go to that old residential area is not only because it is more down-to-earth, but also because there is another reason hidden in Ye Chen's heart, and no one told me.
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 of the north and my parents like it very much.
It is precisely because of his love for traditional culture that his parents rented an old house in the old city. After his father's renovation, the whole family lived in a very comfortable life.
Later, when his parents had an accident, Ye Chen entered the orphanage. He would often sneak out with his friends Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen to take a look at the old city.
At that time, Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen and others thought that Ye Chen was greedy for fun and wanted to sneak out to play.
But what they didn't know was that Ye Chen was actually just to miss his parents.
After his parents had an accident, the house was rented out for several years and replaced by batches of tenants.
Later, the house was bought by people who invested in real estate and waited for the demolition to appreciate.
Later, the house and the old buildings nearby were classified as historical building protection areas, and demolition and flip-up were explicitly prohibited, so the house was vacant for a long time.
Ye Chen also secretly inquired that it is said that the person who invested in this house was the initiator of a real estate speculation group in Wencheng. Although this old house was smashed in his hands and could not be cashed in, this little money was nothing to him, so the house was thrown away like this.
Later, the real estate speculator was caught in a lawsuit because he was suspected of illegal fundraising in another place, and the house was seized by the court.
There were rumors that there were auctions two or three years ago, but because the person involved in a large case, the case has not been closed in the last two years, so the lawsuit has not been entered.
Ye Chen went to the vegetable market for buying vegetables, which was not far from this old house, so he planned to take a look.
On the way Ye Chen rode his bike, a Rolls-Royce was already parked in front of this mottled old house.
