The Shengji Rice Shop in Nanxun Ancient Town is the main business in the land of silk and rice. Before the Anti-Japanese War, there were 28 rice shops in Nanxun Ancient Town. The Shengji Rice Shop opened in 1931 is one of them. Today, the four characters of Shengji Rice Shop are still very eye-catching, which inevitably reminds me of the scene when merchants unloaded goods from ships and laborers loaded them onto carriages. What a prosperous scene. At that time, Shengji Rice Shop was closed due to soaring prices and currency devaluation, but its building has been preserved to this day.
