Zhu Chongba and his entourage arrive at Huangzhou Prefecture City, impressed by its wealth and bustling streets. They are initially stopped at the gate by a guard who questions their cart of grain. However, upon presenting an invitation from Chen Jiusi, they are recognized as honored guests and personally escorted into the city by the Guard Captain. They are then led to a luxurious villa within the Noble Guest House, complete with amenities and dedicated staff.

Cuiju introduced, then immediately asked, "Esteemed guests, do you have any other questions you’d like to ask?"

Zhu Chongba and his companions listened to Cuiju’s introduction and marveled at the luxury of this place. Although it couldn’t compare to the indulgence of a top-level tycoon’s home, it did provide a very comfortable feeling.

Zhu Chongba, having seen the world, turned to Li Shanchang behind him and said, "Mr., we need to learn from this."

Li Shanchang replied, "Indeed."

Li Shanchang felt a bit of a sting, realizing that having the money to build such a hotel was not something just anyone could achieve.

Thinking this, Zhu Chongba said, "There’s nothing else we need."

At this point, Cuiju looked at Ma Xiuying holding her child and said, "Madam, we also offer childcare services here. We can arrange for a dedicated nanny so you can enjoy your time in Huangzhou Prefecture without worry."

Ma Xiuying was taken aback and said, "Well, please arrange for one for me."

Ma Xiuying was growing increasingly curious about Huangzhou Prefecture. She didn’t want to be stuck in this small building tending to her child; she also wanted to explore Huangzhou Prefecture.

Upon hearing this, Cuiju immediately arranged for a suitable nanny to provide the service.

The Noble Guest House served as Chen Jie’s outward facade, with all services being top level. For this reason, Chen Jie even assigned Cuiju, one of Su Yunjin’s two personal maids, to serve as the female manager here.

Additionally, security here was also top level, but compared to these esteemed guests, it wasn’t considered impressive, since their strength far exceeded that of the security guards.

Having finished these matters, Cuiju prepared to leave. After all, many distinguished guests had arrived in Huangzhou Prefecture, and she was quite busy.

However, just as she reached the door, Cuiju suddenly paused and said, "Oh, by the way, esteemed guests, we have prepared a shopping voucher of one hundred taels for you as well, which I will now give to you."

"Shopping voucher?"

Zhu Chongba listened, bewildered. What on earth was a shopping voucher?

Clearly noticing Zhu Chongba’s confusion, Cuiju explained, "It’s a certificate from our most popular Trade Mansion in Huangzhou Prefecture. You can use this voucher there as cash, totaling one hundred taels. If you have the time, you should check it out."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Then we’ll just not..."

"Give it to me!"

Just as Zhu Chongba intended to say he’d rather not go, having no interest, he saw Ma Xiuying speak up directly and take the voucher from Cuiju’s hand.

Cuiju handed the shopping voucher to Ma Xiuying, who thanked her, and Cuiju left. Zhu Chongba asked, "What do you want this shopping voucher for?"

Ma Xiuying replied, "The Trade Mansion in Huangzhou Prefecture is so famous. I’ve heard people talking about it back in Haozhou. It’s even considered an economic symbol of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture. Since we plan to learn from Huangzhou Prefecture, how can we not visit the Trade Mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "You have a point."

Ma Xiuying said, "Alright, since we have nothing else to do today, let’s head to the Trade Mansion and see what other capabilities Chen Jiusi has hidden from us."

Hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Very well, let’s go see what this Trade Mansion in Huangzhou Prefecture is all about."

With that, Zhu Chongba gathered Li Shanchang and Tang He, as learning required having a complete group of people.

Soon, they set out, declining the carriage prepared by the estate, and made their way to the pedestrian street in South City. They had passed by it earlier, but carriages were not allowed there, so they had only walked along the road.

Now, they found themselves directly in the pedestrian street, greeted by an array of snacks.

There were candied haws, popcorn, cotton candy, and even a new food invented by Chen Jie—lamb skewers.

At first, Zhu Chongba could resist these, but then he saw stands selling baked cakes and duck blood vermicelli soup, and he couldn’t hold back. Looking at the hot, baked cakes and steaming duck blood vermicelli soup, he couldn’t help salivating."

Zhu Chongba looked at Tang He and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Tang He replied, "I’ve been hungry for a while."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Let’s eat a bit."

He then looked at Ma Xiuying, who smiled gently and said, "Let’s eat a bit."

With that, Zhu Chongba went straight into the shop selling duck blood vermicelli soup and said, "Order what you’d like; boss, give me four cakes and a bowl of soup, quickly."

The boss immediately responded, "Got it."

At this point, Tang He’s eyes were drawn to the smoking grills not far away, and he said to Zhu Chongba, "Big brother, I’ll go check out the roasted meats over there."

Zhu Chongba said, "Sure."

"Miss, what would you like to eat?"

Ma Xiuying gently replied, "The same as you is fine."

"Boss, another bowl of soup and four cakes."

"One is enough for me,"

Ma Xiuying said.

"Hehe, my appetite is bigger; four won’t be enough!"

Just then, they heard someone shouting from not too far away, "Everyone be careful, fireworks going off!"

Hm?

Zhu Chongba asked, "What was that sound?"

While wondering, suddenly there was a loud bang, startling Zhu Chongba. At that moment, they saw a crowd rushing in one direction.

There, a person was holding a strange round device in one hand, with a long bag in front, while a group of children eagerly watched on.

Zhu Chongba was initially alarmed but quickly calmed down.

With a bowl of vermicelli soup in one hand and a cake in the other, not fearing the heat, he walked over to where the fireworks were being set off.
