However, animal-drawn carts are not allowed to enter the city in recent years, and even traditional vegetable markets have become fewer and fewer so that most people can only go to the supermarket to buy food.
The quality of the vegetables in the supermarket is not very good, but the price is surprisingly expensive. It costs more than ten yuan to buy cabbage.
This also caused this ancient city to gradually lose the scent of traditional life.
In fact, Charlie usually doesn’t like going to the supermarket to buy groceries, so he always feels less interesting.
Therefore, he often goes to a protected old residential area in the old city where there is a very lively vegetable market.
The reason why he likes to go to that old residential area is not only because it is more grounded, but also because there is another reason hidden in Charlie’s heart.
In the past, when he and his parents first arrived in Aurous Hill, the parents particularly liked the characteristics of Aurous Hill Old Town.
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 the north, and parents liked it very much.
Because of their passion for traditional culture, his parents rented an old house in the old town. After the renovation, the family lived in a very comfortable place.
Later, when his parents had an accident, Charlie entered the orphanage. He would often sneak out with his friends Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen to take a look at the old town.
At that time, Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen thought Charlie was playful and wanted to sneak out to play.
But what they didn’t know was that Charlie actually just missed his parents.
After his parents had an accident that year, the house was rented out for a few years, changing batches of tenants.
Later, the house was bought by people who invested in real estate, waiting for the demolition to appreciate.
Later, the house and the nearby old buildings were classified as a historical building protection area. Demolition and rebuilding were prohibited, so the house was left vacant for a long time.
Charlie also quietly inquired about it. 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 cannot be realized after being smashed in his hands, it is nothing to him. , So this house is in the dilapidated in this condition since then.
Later, the speculator was caught in a lawsuit because he was involved in illegal fund-raising and the house was sealed up by the court.
Two or three years ago, there were rumors that it was going to be auctioned, but because the person involved in the case was relatively large, the case has not been finalized in the past two years, so he has never entered the foreclosure process.
The market where Charlie went to buy vegetables was not far from this old house, so he planned to stop by and take a look.
On the way Charlie was riding his bike, a Rolls Royce had stopped in front of this mottled old house.
In Rolls-Royce’s co-pilot, an elderly man walked down. This person was the old butler of Eastcliff’s Du family in Aurous Hill.
