The old street is said to be the earliest and oldest street in Bailu Town. The people who first settled here because of Bailu opened a road to Lake Beringa and built a dock at the mouth of the lake. Later people built houses and opened shops on both sides of this road, so this road became the first street in the town.
Time has passed, and the current Bailu Town is no longer the village it was thousands of years ago. The expansion of the town has caused the town center to move eastward, and the area where the old street is located has now become a poor dock area with a mixed bag of people and chaotic public security.
Travelers have never been to this place before. In my memory, the former owner of this body, Claude, seems to have been here twice. Once he went fishing at the lake and walked along the lakeshore to the public pier in the slum area. Another time, he secretly rode the black horse named Bockel from Old Benz of the post office. The black horse was a little frightened and ran towards the old street until it ran out of road in front of the dock. Sen was scared to death, and the three Claudes who were chasing him were exhausted from running.
However, I passed by in a hurry both times and didn't encounter much, so I had no impression of this area. It's just that parents have warned their children not to play here because it is a dangerous area in Bailu Town.
There seems to be no danger here. Claude thought as he looked at the dilapidated houses and shacks on both sides of the street, as well as the occasional pedestrians passing by in a hurry.
"Looks calm." Ericson beside him seemed to know what Claude was thinking.
Claude nodded: "My father said that the security here is not good, so we should not come here if we have nothing to do, but I think this place is no different from other urban areas."
Ericson said seriously: "Your father is right, this is indeed the most chaotic and unsafe area in Bailu Town. Don't look at the tranquility now, that's because it's noon and it's broad daylight. If you If you come at night, you will know why.”
"Haha" Bockaar laughed: "Ike, you forgot to mention that this is the busiest place in Bailu Town at night. At night, both sides of this street are full of people, and most of them are women. There are also sailors here. Our favorite place to hang out at night”
Claude understood and he didn't want to continue this topic: "Then the old Munch grocery store opened here."
"No, it's still ahead. This street is almost at the end, next to the pier. Did you see that two-story gray stone building is the old Munch Grocery Store." Ericson answered pointing forward.
The two-story gray stone building is actually five townhouses connected together, but the first floor is full of storefronts.
Claude didn't see the sign of Old Monk's Grocery Store. He only saw a brand-new wooden sign that said Old Monk's Fishing Tackle and Boat Supplies Specialty Store.
The three on the far left of the five stores are already open for business. There are rolls of hemp rope, bundles of sailcloth and different round barrels on the store. The two stores on the far right look obviously very dilapidated, with scaffolding erected outside. They are undergoing renovations. It looks like they are trying to make these two old stores into the same style as the three stores next to them.
"Those two old stores are the old Munch Grocery Stores." Ericson said to Claude: "The three stores next to them also belong to their family, but they were previously rented to others to open a restaurant to supply water to sailors, fishermen and docks. The workers ate. After the old Pichak died at the end of last year, his son didn’t want to open a grocery store, so he took back the restaurant and prepared to open the fishing gear and boat supplies store.”
Erickson pointed to the brand new wooden sign.
"Are you sure we will buy those two pieces of leather?" Claude was a little doubtful.
"Of course, I am Ericson, the young captain of the Red Sea Shark. My father is the famous Captain Altruni. Most of the sailors here know me. I can know about any movement in the dock area in less than three days."
Erikson said triumphantly, looking very proud: "I have known for a long time that Vakuri is planning to open this fishing gear and boat supplies store. I also know exactly what he sells and buys."
"Well, anyone who is not blind can understand." Bockaar said, pointing to the two large wooden boards hanging next to the store.
The various items sold in the store and their prices are written on the large wooden board, and the information on the items for sale is written on the small wooden board, but there is no information behind it.
