As he leaves the Pearl River, Charlie hurries to the vegetable market. Time has been delayed a lot, and if you don’t hurry to buy the vegetables back, the wife won’t be able to eat lunch when she comes home from work.
Although Aurous Hills is an ancient city, its modern atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The destruction, demolition, and modification of the old city’s buildings have basically become the style of modern city high-rise buildings.
Many traditional crafts and markets in the past have gradually been replaced by various tall shops and general supermarkets. In the early years, there were many hair shavers on the side of the road, and they had great skills in shaving their heads. Two or three hundred dollars could be used to shave their heads by sitting on the side of the road. But now, it has long since disappeared.
Instead, there are various exquisite and high-end beauty salons. Those Tony teachers who are not very skilled and whose hair is not even full can cut a hair at random, starting with three or four hundred dollars. When encountering unscrupulous merchants, customers will be fooled into applying for a card, cutting their heads and being cheated for thousands of dollars.
In the past, there were many horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts on the roadside. Uncle farmers in the countryside picked vegetables from the fields in the morning and drove them to the city to sell them. Vegetables and fruits were fresh and cheap.
However, animal-drawn carts have not been 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 fifty dollars to buy a 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 interested.
