Ye Lulu thinks that the location of this store is not the most conventional, but it is also very unique. It is very unique near the river, okay
Among the things Yaren showed her, this one was the most interesting!
Yaren was confused. She didn't like the stores that she thought were good, but she took her to see them blindly, but she liked them
"This store has some origins. It has been built here for several years... It must have been six or seven years ago. At first, it was a distinguished official from Yingzhou who came to Yuancheng and wanted to open a store here in Yuancheng. , to develop his business in Yingzhou. The distinguished official did not like the main street in the city. He felt that the business development there had been exhausted and there was no room to intervene. Moreover, the development was very slow. In addition, the official liked the large number of people. It’s hard to find a storefront like this on the main street of Yuancheng.”
"So the official had an idea and ordered someone to buy a piece of land in a 'special' place and built a building with his own money. This is the building you are seeing now..."
From the subtle toothache expression on the teethers when they say "special", you can tell how much they dislike this kind of uniqueness.
"What happened next? Why was it empty?" Ye Lulun asked with his expression completely unchanged.
"After the building was completed, the official was later transferred to the northwest. Yuancheng was thousands of miles away, and the opposite direction. The official could not develop business in Yuancheng at all, so he wanted to sell the store. However, What was also surprising was that at that time, a high-ranking official who was newly transferred to Yuancheng was an old enemy of that official. On the first day he came to Yuancheng, that high-ranking official came to inspect the Yuan River and walked to this building. , saying it is a dangerous building and people can easily fall into the water when walking on it... "
"At that time, people didn't dare to buy the official's store. It has been idle here. The official has been working in Yuancheng for three years, and this building has been vacant for three years. Waiting for that The high-ranking official was finally transferred... This building had been empty for several years by the Yuan River and was exposed to wind and sun. It had long since become a real old building, especially half of it was on the river. Onlookers looked at it even more tremblingly and couldn't walk. Too scared to walk in, let alone buy it.”
"It has been empty until now..."
"Today, it has become a veritable dangerous building. It is not dangerous but is very dilapidated. The location facing the river is dangerous and strange. The whole store is old, but it is large and looks dilapidated, so no one cares about it."
After Yaren finished speaking, he saw that Ye Lulu was really interested, so he hurriedly added: "Although it looks very bad, the wood used in this small building is actually very good, it can be said to be top-notch. , because the official was rich and powerful at that time, and he loved appearance and ostentation, so he used the best materials. Those woods, including huanghuali and red sandalwood, were all available. If they were not available in whole pieces, they would not be available. There are thieves who have come down and inlaid the carvings, stolen them, and sold them."
"It's just ordinary wood outside. Take a look at it, my guest. It's been six or seven years, despite all the wind, frost, rain and snow. This building is still very strong, but it's just a little bit worn. It just looks old!"
"Did you see that the topmost pavilion, under the eaves, guests, is dusty and covered with dust? Let me tell you! It is inlaid with colored glaze! Once the dust is wiped clean, it becomes magnificent, otherworldly, and beautiful. Ah! It’s just that it’s so high, and the structure on the river is scary, and no one dares to go up, so it can be well preserved... "
"Look, guest, if you look closely at this small building, it's still very good. After all, it was built by a distinguished official of the dynasty. It's just that it has been empty for a long time..."
