Chapter 236: Little Shrimp (Three More)_1
"Little Yaozi, I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with this area," Yang Ruxin exclaimed. Even Yang Dani, a local, didn’t understand her own living environment as well as he did.
"Before we settled in Dapu East Village, we actually lived in Peach Blossom Town for two months," Gu Yao glanced at Yang Ruxin. "Also, for the past two years to make money, I’ve been to the surrounding towns, but there was no suitable work, so I started hunting."
Yang Ruxin nodded. So that’s how it was; she finally understood why even the small Lianhua Town was so prosperous.
From Beijing to Hangcheng in the south, it would take a month by land, but even by water it would take more than twenty days. You couldn’t stay on the boat all the time, so along the way, you would stop at some small waterway-connected villages for repairs and supplies.
Lianhua Town was located at about one-third of the way down the Grand Dayuan River. After sailing for seven or eight days, and just when the novelty had worn off and fatigue set in, many boats would dock here. Of course, Xiaocang River was shallow, so big boats couldn’t pass through; some choosier people would continue for a few more days to the next big dock, but many of the less fussy or smaller boats would stop here for repairs.
This also drove the economic development of Lianhua Town.
"Let’s hurry and go have a look," Yang Ruxin said excitedly. In her previous life, seafood was her favorite, and she hadn’t eaten it for a long time, especially spicy grilled squid – just thinking about it made her mouth water. Unfortunately, since she couldn’t go back, she probably wouldn’t be able to eat it again, but now, having some freshwater fish and shrimp to eat was also nice.
Gu Yao watched Yang Ruxin’s eager expression, couldn’t help but laugh, and then led her towards the dock.
