After settling the account, the steward couldn't help but ask, "The girl rested early, can she come back in the afternoon?" ”

Xue Langjing waved his hand, "I'm not coming, I'm just passing by here, earning some money for food here, as long as I earn enough food and accommodation expenses, I'll leave." ”

The steward was a little regretful, "Okay, is the girl leaving now?" ”

At this time, no one checked out, and the idle steward chatted with her.

"No, we still have to find a place to eat, and then leave after eating, otherwise we won't be hungry", Xue Langjing, who was sorting out his belongings, replied to him casually.

But he listened to the steward, "Since you have lunch, then the girl might as well eat here, the meal is cheaper than going to the restaurant." ”

Hearing this, Xue Langjing couldn't help asking, "Is there still food here?" ”

The steward replied, "Yes, after all, not everyone brings their own dry food, and there are still many people who need to eat, and when lunch time comes, many people will pick up some food and sell it."

And they are all sold to coolies, and the price is not high, and the girl, as a capable person, must have a good appetite, and it is always cheaper to buy some food in the hands of these small traders than to go to a restaurant to eat, and we usually eat like this. ”

She can come to work as a coolie to earn money, obviously she doesn't have much money on her, and she can usually save it.

It's just that Xue Langjing didn't decide immediately as he thought, but asked him, "Is there meat in this meal?" We've done so much work, and we don't have meat supplements, so I'm afraid we'll run out of energy. ”

Dinner can be without meat, but breakfast and lunch must not be without, otherwise how can she maintain her physical strength and feel the ability to feel strange? She doesn't work purely to sell labor, but mainly to improve her own strength.

Then the steward replied to her with a smile, "Yes, it's not only the coolies who eat, but we also have to eat, so we chose a few fixed vendors, and the price can be said to be cheaper, so that the coolies can save more money for food and sell it, so that they can work harder, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, Xue Langjing couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's still the managers who will do business." ”

"Hey, we didn't come up with it, it was thought from above, this is a win-win thing, and many docks are like this", and the steward does not take credit for it.

Xue Langjing nodded, "That's true." ”

Since it could be cheaper, and there was meat to eat, of course she stayed.

The two chatted for a while, and Xue Langjing, who had a sensitive nose, smelled the aroma of rice, which was no worse than that of the inn.

Subsequently, Xue Langjing was invited by the steward to set up a long table with a group of stewards to eat.

For this woman who had been running all morning, and there were several sacks of resistance, you stewards did not know, and the steward who introduced her said that she was a scholar, which also made everyone accept her smoothly.

In this way, Xue Langjing quickly blended in, and mingled with everyone while eating and drinking.

It's strange to say, how can a group of people target her for no reason, while another group of people can accept her like this?

Is it really just a difference in status or a difference in thinking and insight?

She doesn't think so, it's probably driven by interests.

To work by oneself is to 'break into' their territory, and to 'rob' their work, which will evolve into 'restriction' of them, coupled with the herd mentality, and finally become a collective against themselves.

And this group of stewards has no conflict of interest with themselves, but because they alone are worth more than a dozen laborers, so that their subordinates can work more, there is only good and no harm for them, so naturally they will not be specifically targeted.

A meal, Xue Langjing was satisfied, much better than what he ate in the inn yesterday, and it only cost fifty yuan, which was quite worth it.

After eating, before leaving, she counted the money she had saved.

Today's actual income is 180 yuan, excluding 50 yuan for food, the net income is 130 yuan, plus the previous savings, she already has 380 yuan of belongings, enough for her to use for a few days.

Anyway, I have money in my hands, so I don't panic.

After lunch, she left gracefully.

I inquired about it at Xiao Er's before, there is a Zheng family's grain and vegetable shop in the town, and she has to send the letter first.

In order not to trouble others with everything, Xue Langjing first went to buy a few envelopes, and then packed the letters and sent them over.

When she showed the token given by Zheng Linchu, the shopkeeper accepted the letter very enthusiastically and promised to help forward it, and even took the initiative to ask her if she needed to send anything.

This level of enthusiasm made Xue Langjing even more convinced that Zheng Linchu's status in the Zheng family was not low.

Out of the fruit and vegetable shop, she headed for her next goal.

Today's journey is to pass through another town into the county seat, and through the county seat can go to the next county as quickly as possible.

needed to enter the city, and the road guide she brought also came in handy.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Langjing came to the city gate smoothly and lined up with the people who entered the city.

Ordinary people are not allowed to carry weapons into the city, and those who can carry weapons with them must be capable or hunters, or officially recognized martial arts practitioners.

Those who carry weapons must not only issue a certificate, but also register their personal information before they can enter the city.

This is another queue, another body search to check personal belongings, and you have to register information, and after tossing for two quarters of an hour, Xue Langjing finally entered the city.

At this time, it was not early, and as soon as Xue Langjing entered the city, he went straight to the inn for dinner.

Now she is not very rich, and this money cannot afford to eat a lot of meat for a meal, and if she doesn't do any work at night, there is no need to eat too well, and she will not eat meat for dinner.

However, it is necessary to eat enough, so she ordered rice and vegetarian dishes for dinner, but the consumption level in the city is not as high as in the town or village, plus she eats more, and she eats thirty-five yuan for a meal.

After dinner, Xue Langjing rarely did not go back to the room, but went out to shop.

During this time, I was either working or hurrying every day, and except at night, there was very little leisure time to completely relax.

Taking advantage of the early rest today, and there was nothing to be busy with, she simply came out to relax.

After all, life needs a combination of work and rest, and by the way, I also inquired about what kind of work I can do here.

Usually at home, Xue Langjing has only been to the county a few times in recent years, and only once has he really played, and that time he also participated in the Lantern Festival.

And the only time it was interrupted because of going to court.

In fact, she really hasn't visited the county seat properly.

Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to take a good stroll, although it is not the same county.

Having said that, if you look at the lives of the people in the city alone, you will only think that they are living in a prosperous world, and the faces of the people are very different from those outside the city.
