There are also many differences between restaurants in Yangcheng and those in Binjiang.

First of all, in terms of interior decoration, the restaurant decoration in Guangzhou is mostly simple and modern, focusing on convenience and social attributes.

On the other hand, Binjiang places more emphasis on humanistic attributes. The decoration of large hotels focuses more on cultural and artistic experience, while ordinary small restaurants are mostly simple in decoration or have no decoration at all, just putting out a few tables and chairs, keeping them clean and tidy, and then starting business.

What the restaurants compete with each other is the taste of the food.

The locals' dining habit is to "order less and get more dishes".

The custom in Guangzhou is to have small portions and a variety of dishes, and the food presentation is also more refined.

As the three of them entered the restaurant, they smelled the fragrance in the air.

“It smells good.”

Su Yunjie said as he looked at the environment inside the restaurant and smelled the fragrance in the air.

Led by the waiter, Lu Ye and the other two sat at an empty table.

The waiter spoke awkward Mandarin, and although it was a bit difficult to communicate, I have to say that his service attitude was indeed good.

Very patient and not impatient.

They are so much better than the waiters in state-owned restaurants who hang signs saying "No hitting or scolding of customers".

After the three of them agreed unanimously, they finally ordered a seafood soup base.

Su Yunjie ordered prawns, crabs, squids, beef balls, all of which are rare to eat in normal times.

After a while, the waiter came to their table with a clay pot stove filled with charcoal fire.

Unlike the copper pots in the north, the hot pot here is a clay pot placed on top of a charcoal stove.

The seafood broth inside is boiling hot and tastes very delicious.

after an hour.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them walked out of the restaurant.

"It tastes good, but the portion is too small. You need to order two more plates of each dish."

"Isn't it? Back home, one dish can be ruined into at least three of these."

Zhao Xiaolong also sighed.

The sun hasn't set outside yet.

There were even more pedestrians on the street than when Lu Ye and his friends arrived.

"Let's go around a bit."

There was nothing to do back at the hotel, so Lu Ye simply took Su Yunjie and Zhao Xiaolong for a walk along Yanjing Road.

the other side.

Shu Wen took the three hundred US dollars that Lu Ye gave her, asked as she walked, and finally arrived at the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau and found the Foreign Affairs Office.

the next day.

After Lu Ye and the other two had breakfast at the hotel, they took a taxi and headed to the small market on Qibei Road.

It is called a small market, but it is actually an old warehouse.

The reason why I use the word "small" is because this warehouse is only about 300 square meters, which is really small.

After Lu Ye and his friends took a taxi to this area, they asked around for a long time before they found this small market with only a wooden sign hanging on it.

"This place is too remote. How could these people open a market here?"

Su Yunjie followed and walked forward. Because it had rained last night, the ground was covered with mud. When it was pressed by the passing vehicles, it turned into a mud soup.

Lu Ye and the other two walked forward, taking one step deep and one step shallow, which was extremely difficult.

However, many locals wore slippers on their feet. Although their feet were covered in mud, it did not have much impact.

Zhao Xiaolong walked laboriously, and when he heard Su Yunjie's words, he couldn't help but say:

"There must be a reason for wearing a cotton jacket over cotton trousers. Either the jacket is hairless or the trousers are too thin."

"Since they opened a market here, I think there must be something going on."

The three of them arrived at the warehouse door. Their leather shoes were covered in mud. They stomped their feet and knocked their heels, but finally managed to clean some of it off.

"Let's go in."

Lu Ye took a step forward and walked into the warehouse first.

There were actually four rows of stalls in the not-so-big warehouse. Lu Ye realized at first glance that all kinds of things were sold there.

Clothing, hardware, porcelain... there are even places selling electrical wires and electrical appliances.

If the maintenance engineer had not told him, Lu Ye would never have imagined that there would be such a small market in such a shabby warehouse.

"It's so lively." Su Yunjie sighed deeply as he looked at the bustling market.

Lu Ye was also looking at the situation inside.

Although he hadn't found a stall selling components yet, Lu Ye's heart had already sank.

What he was looking for was a production factory that could produce stably and supply goods for a long time, not the small vendors around him who were selling items of unknown origin.

Lu Ye could see clearly that the items sold at several stalls were obviously not from mainland China.

The Seiko lighters and watches were obviously smuggled in from Hong Kong.

"It seems that the maintenance engineer thinks we are profiteers."

"The people here are selling parallel imports. Even if they have what we're looking for, it's probably not easy to get."

"Our trip here is in vain." Lu Ye said somewhat disappointedly.

Although Zhao Xiaolong had been reselling cigarettes for a long time, he still didn't quite understand what Lu Ye meant by parallel imports.

"Brother Ye, what is parallel import?" Zhao Xiaolong asked in a low voice.

"Parallel imports are goods that are smuggled in. Guangzhou is close to the Hong Kong River, so some people secretly bring goods from the Hong Kong River here to sell."

"People on the other side would wrap the items in plastic bags, drive their boats to the shallow waters near the coast, and throw them into the sea. People on this side would then fish them out, hence the term 'parallel imports'."

Lu Ye explained to the two of them in a low voice.

Su Yunjie was amazed when he heard this. He didn't expect that the speculators here would actually operate like this.

The three of them wandered around the warehouse.

Many of the things here are not available in shopping malls.

Su Yunjie and Zhao Xiaolong had never even seen him.

"Brother Ye, look over there." Zhao Xiaolong called out to Lu Ye.

Following Zhao Xiaolong's gaze, Lu Ye saw the stall he was looking for to sell electronic accessories.

Sitting behind the stall was a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard, thin and small, with dark skin.

There are quite a few electronic products on his stall.

Lu Ye walked over and saw at a glance the starting relay and overload protector he bought yesterday.

These two things and some other electronic motherboards were placed there in plain sight.

"Boss, how much do you sell this for?" Lu Ye casually picked up a starting relay and asked.

"20 yuan." The man spoke in dialect, worried that Lu Ye didn't understand, and made a V sign to Lu Ye with his hand.

"What about this?" Lu Ye asked as he picked up another overload protector.

"That's 15 yuan." The man measured again.

A set of Huaxin starting relay and overload protector only costs 35 yuan in total from him.

But the repairman yesterday charged them 75 dollars.

"Brother Ye, the guy in the repair shop yesterday was quite shady." Zhao Xiaolong said in a deep voice.

"Didn't he tell us a lot of information? The extra money was the consulting fee. Otherwise, do you think he would tell us this? He knew we weren't an appliance repair shop and never thought of doing business with us again."
