After about an hour, the ship finally arrived in Xihai City.
As soon as she got off the boat, Ruan Ning felt something different.
It was so lively here.
Even though she had read the original novel, Ruan Ning was still stunned.
It was not long before dawn, but the harbor was still crowded with people. It felt a bit like a holiday in real life, with people all over the street.
Ruan Cifeng and Zhou Sulan hadn’t seen so many people for a long time. They felt suddenly overwhelmed, as if they had returned to the real world.
“Ning Ning, look over there, there’s dried abalone for sale.”
“Is that kelp?”
“And there are shrimps. This dried shrimp must weigh three taels, right?”
Ruan Cifeng was stunned: “Why do I feel like I’m in heaven?”
At this time, a man ran over and excitedly hugged the little girl who Zhou Sulan was carrying.
The little girl also shouted: “Dad!”
Ruan Ning knew that this was a member of the Fuhai Base, the husband mentioned by the woman, a porter.
Compared to others, although he looked very dark, he was obviously much healthier.
The little girl eloquently introduced Ruan Ning and the other two to her father.
After listening to them, the man excitedly said to the three people: “Thank you for helping me look after Xiao Yue. She is only four years old and she is alone.”
Ruan Cifeng smiled and said, “I just watched her on the boat. Xiao Yue was very well-behaved and didn’t move at all.”
The man was still excited: “Anyway, thank you.”
Seeing that most of the other people who came to the island had somewhere to go, and only Ruan Ning and the other two were completely unfamiliar with the place, the man said, “I know there is a place to rent a house nearby. How about I take you there to have a look?”
“The properties rented there are all our base properties. It is a little more expensive than outside, but it is safer and more guaranteed.”
Ruan Ning immediately smiled and said, “Okay, thank you very much.”
The man led them to a house near the harbor, then said a few words to the people inside, and left with his daughter.
The person who was in charge of receiving Ruan Ning was a skinny guy, actually thinner than a bamboo pole, but his face was full of smiles.
He smiled and said, “Uncle. Aunt, beautiful lady, I can tell you’ve just arrived in Xihai City.”
“I am a professional real estate agent. I have everything from villas to shared rental houses.”
Seeing his professional attitude, Ruan Ning asked curiously, “Were you also an agent before?”
The man said: “No, I used to be a teacher.”
Ruan Ning didn’t know whether it was a real teacher or a fake one: “How much is the rent for the shared room?”
The man looked disappointed when he heard her ask about shared rental houses right away.
Seeing that these three people had rosy complexions and not very chapped lips, he thought that they had big clients.
“Shared housing is very cheap. You can stay in it for one night with just one compressed biscuit. It is also very close to the seaside market.”
Ruan Ning thought that the price was more expensive than outside: “What if we want to rent a single room?”
The man laughed and said, “A one-bedroom apartment costs 1 catties of compressed biscuits a day. It’s a good deal for the three of you to live here. It’s not much more expensive than renting a shared apartment.”
Ruan Ning said: “That’s still expensive. Your villa won’t need ten catties of compressed biscuits a day, right?”
“How can ten catties of compressed biscuits be enough?” The man said.
“The villa area is full of wealthy people who have fled here. They like to trade cigarettes and alcohol, and they rent them on a monthly basis.”
Ruan Ning thought for a while: “Then how much do I have to pay if I want to rent a villa?”
The man didn’t expect these three people to have such strength. His eyes lit up: “Twenty catties worth of compressed biscuits every day, about 600 catties a month.”
This price could make most people stay away.
Ruan Ning: “Okay, then take me to see it.”
