In of all kinds service industry, meal industry developeds most. The various wineshop in the city, restaurant shares more than 20, have many sale more " wonton " , " big flesh steamed bread " , snack bar, solve food for come-and-go businessman desire.
Near Su Yi of all door aunt, be travel of business of north and south surely the ground of classics, then a few [guest contain] , [inn] happen to coincide here set up shop. These guest contain environments are very general nevertheless, collect fees however do not poor, because this a lot of travelling merchant choose to save a guild hall each, so that save expense.

Suzhou city is one is known as [Oriental Venice] the city on water, wadi be mixed, freightage still basically leans waterborne. Corresponding a lot of storehouse, warehouse also is installed around dock.
In Suzhou city, the tool is being carried on the water that uses carriage goods and materials is boat of water transport of grain to the capital, boat of water transport of grain to the capital also calls a quantity the boat, hull bounty levels the land, optimum reprint commissariat, often move on the canal, load the task that north of the grain austral the move carries.
[the boat goes] it is the trading company that carries on water of special responsible arrangement, it offers acting passenger transport to lose commodity and the service that carry guest force at the same time, with the business close of the shipping company that we know today, the boat carries goods program to be commonly all right: Goods of check the amount, sign deposit of agreement, collection, formal Fu Yun.

The occurrence that these city enrol is the statement it may not be a bad idea of autonomic sex, it is the caution it may not be a bad idea of kindness of concerned chamber of commerce, still can be opposite whole trade environmental improvement rises to urge action certainly.
Stick as to what Zhuang Dou of a few garments happens to coincide piece [not diatomic] city action, sufficient it is thus clear that Suzhou person likes argy-bargy at that time, calculating degree.
These flaunting [not diatomic] the shop is all wool and a yard wide really still regard it as another kind of method that solicits the business, with respect to unknown.
