Chapter 38 Zhao Linger Lost

The two walked home, and Zhao Linger asked A Yao to take her on the way to Wenda Bookstore again. After making sure that A Yao would not get lost by walking alone, the two returned to their home.

Zhao Linger lit the fuel-efficient lamp bought today and put it on the table in the main room.

A Yao sat down to read a book, and Zhao Linger wanted to record today's expenses.

Today's income:

680 texts in Yingbin Building;
Borrow 50 taels from Mu Yunqing;
Including the rest from yesterday, the total is 87 taels and 131 wen.

Spend today:

The room and board fee of Junpeng Inn is 4 Wen;
The carriage fee is 2 renminbi;
The driver's medical expenses are 2 taels;
Renting a house is 23 Wen;
The coachman compensates 10 taels;
3 taels and 86 liters for the purchase of daily necessities;
42 Wen for dinner.

The total expenditure today is 45 taels and 318 wen.

Now there is a total of 41 taels and 813 cash remaining.

After finishing the calculation, Zhao Linger saw that A Yao had fallen asleep lying on the table.

At this time, I vaguely heard a watchman knocking a gong on the street outside: "Second watch at Haishi, close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft!"

It's past nine o'clock, it's time to go to bed!
She hurriedly went to the bedroom to make the mattress, and then returned to the living room to carry A Yao back to the bed, but she couldn't hold her, and then she remembered that she was just a little girl who looked only nine years old.

Zhao Ling'er shook A Yao awake and called her back to bed to sleep.

Then Zhao Linger went to bed too.

Lying on the bed, although very tired, Zhao Linger felt itchy all over.

I sweated a lot today and didn't take a shower at night, and thinking about how I must have gotten dust all over my body after cleaning, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

Hey, I must remember to buy a big bathtub tomorrow!

Zhao Ling'er lay on the bed thinking about it, and after a while, she finally fell asleep in a daze.

Time passed quietly in sleep.

Suddenly, A Yao turned over and woke up Zhao Ling'er from her sleep!
The voice of the watchman calling the watch came from the street: Yinshi is the fifth watch, go to bed early and get up early, take care of your health!

It's 3 o'clock.

Can sleep a little longer.

Zhao Ling'er was in a daze, just about to fall asleep, when she suddenly remembered that it was the first time to go to the Yingbin Building from here today. I don't know if there is a carriage nearby, it's better to get up early!
It seems that if you have money, you need to buy a carriage and hire a coachman as your own car, otherwise it will be too troublesome to always find someone!
I don't know if Zhou You's anger has subsided, but I want to treat him to hot pot tonight!
Zhao Linger thought while washing.

After tidying up, Zhao Ling'er put 10 Wen on the table, and left a note for A Yao: buy breakfast by yourself, I'll go first.

Looking around, everything was normal, Zhao Linger gently opened the door.

It was still pitch black all around.

Zhao Ling'er followed the night through the small street and came to the main road.

Standing at the gate of Wenda Shuyuan, looking forward, the straight road is empty, not even a carriage.

Oops, I forgot to book a carriage yesterday!Zhao Linger complained to herself while walking along the main road.

At the end of this road is a crossroads.

Which way should I go?
Zhao Ling'er vaguely felt that she came back from the left side yesterday, so she should be going to the right side now.

The Yingbin Building is at the southernmost point, and Wenda Bookstore is a bit to the west, so I can probably find it as long as I go out, turn to the right and walk forward.Zhao Linger silently planned the route.

She was a road idiot in modern times, but she never thought that she would still not change her nature after time travel.

There was no one on the road.

Zhao Linger walked quickly.

Suddenly, she saw smoke coming from a shop in front of her. This should also be a breakfast shop, so she ran over.

It is indeed a breakfast shop!

A fat middle-aged woman is bending over to carry the steamer.

"Hi aunt, how can I get to the Yingbin building?" Zhao Linger asked.

The middle-aged woman slowly stopped what she was doing, wiped her hands, glanced at Zhao Linger, then turned her head to call the person inside: "Father, someone is asking for directions."

At this time, a thin middle-aged man wearing a slit trousers came out, looked at Zhao Linger, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, sir, how do I get to the Yingbin Building?" Zhao Linger asked hastily.

"You're going in the wrong direction! Where did you come from?"

"Wenda Bookstore."

"When you come to the crossroads, you should turn left and walk along Songyang Avenue until you reach the head, then take Yunding Lane, pass through Yunding Lane and then go to Nijia Village, go through Nijia Village and go east until you reach Luoping Road, walk along Luoping Road and you will arrive.”

Zhao Ling'er looked at the uncle gesticulating and directing his fingers back and forth, she didn't know where he was talking about for a long time.

After the uncle finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ling'er with a look of "do you understand?"

Zhao Ling'er forced a smile and said, "Okay, I see, thank you!" Then she bent down and bowed, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Zhao Ling'er wanted to cry but had no tears, so she walked along this road until she reached the head, then what?
What village?What alley?

She didn't remember at all.

Let's go first, and ask as we go.

Zhao Ling'er walked along this road until he reached the intersection at the end, and suddenly saw an inn in front of him, called Yongchang Inn.

Huh?I can ask if there is a carriage here!Zhao Linger suddenly remembered.

She ran in excitedly.

The breakfast location in the lobby of this inn is exactly the same as the one she had set up in the Junpeng Inn before!
Could it be that this is also Ah San's breakfast business?

Before she had time to think about it, Zhao Linger went to the front desk and asked the waiter: "Is there any coachman here who can go on the road now?"

The guy said: "Wait a minute, I'll call someone." He said and walked towards the backyard.

Zhao Linger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked around the hall.

The display here is indeed exactly the same as her previous display.However, it was not Ah San who was in charge of the management, but another guy in coarse clothes.

Zhao Ling'er walked over and asked, "Is your shopkeeper's name Ah San?"

The man turned his head, frowned and said, "Our shopkeeper is called Zhou Yongchang."

Zhao Linger suddenly remembered that the name of this inn was Yongchang.

Oh!
Zhao Ling'er nodded slightly. Could it be that Ah San's business can't continue?
After a while, a man wearing a turban came out from the backyard, glanced at Zhao Linger, and asked, "Miss, where do you want to go in a carriage?"

"Welcome Building." Zhao Linger replied.

Perhaps it was because the destination was too high-end, the coachman suddenly became more energetic, and he cupped his hands and said, "Girl, please wait a moment."

After talking, I went to the backyard.

Not long after, he drove a carriage to the main entrance and shouted inside: "Girl, come out!"

Zhao Ling'er turned her head and saw it, and hurried out to get in the carriage.

The carriage trotted all the way and took Zhao Ling'er to the Yingbin Building smoothly.

After getting off the carriage, Zhao Linger saw Zhou You carrying bowls outside.

Zhao Linger hurried in to work.

Neither of them spoke, they were busy with their own business.

After a while, a guest came.

Zhou You received the guests, and Zhao Linger rushed to put the pickles in.

The preparations are all done.
