Chapter 89: I don't remember the title
With the help of Professor Zlatkin, Charles wrote down a long catalogue of purchases.
He then asked the library attendant to divide the book into two parts, one to take with him, and the other to pack for delivery.
At this time, it was already half past five in the afternoon, and the library was about to close.
Charles turned to Amiya and asked, "What's next for us?"
"Then we can find a place to have dinner nearby and arrive at the Royal Theatre by 7:30. Amiya replied, and then she patted the bag on her apron, "Her Royal Highness has prepared enough money for the young master. ”
Charles had planned to invite Professor Zlatkin to dinner, but the professor said that his wife was waiting for him to come home for dinner, so he didn't do it.
As they walked out of the library, the sunset began to climb into the sky.
After sending Zlatkin away, Charles said to Amiya: "I don't know Abyss City, you can choose a place for dinner, I'll treat you." ”
"Huh?!" Amiya didn't expect Charles to invite her to dinner, and she panicked for a while.
Charles said to her: "You have been with me for a day today, and you are helping to move books and pour tea and water, which is very hard." I only ate a little bit at noon, so I guess I'm hungry, so let's go eat together. If you have any shops you want to go to before, take advantage of today's opportunity, anyway, it will be the queen's money. ”
Amiya hesitated for a moment, then declined Charles's offer.
Charles reached for the money bag at Amiya, and then flagged down a taxi by the man on the side of the road.
"To the places to eat near the Royal Theatre. Charles, who was sitting in an open-top moped, said to the coachman, "The place is better." ”
"All right!" said the coachman, flicking his whip, and drove the carriage forward.
Then they encountered the evening rush hour after work.
"Sorry, this guest, it's the end of the day for the staff in the palace. The driver was a little embarrassed, "It may be delayed for a while." ”
"It's okay, I understand. Charles looked at the pedestrians and other carriages blocking the road, and for a moment felt a little nostalgic.
On the other side of the road, another cab slowly moved by, and the driver of the carriage was dressed in the same clothes as the driver of Charles's carriage, leather trousers, linen shirts, leather waistcoats, and straw hats.
The two drivers knew each other, and they exchanged traffic information behind them while meeting the car. The front is not very congested, and it is easier to walk after this street.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Charles chatted with the coachman.
Charles asked the driver, "Where can I go here in Abyss City to buy some souvenirs for my family?"
The coachman regarded Charles as a traveler who had traveled to Abyss City for the first time with his family, and then went out alone with his maid, and he introduced Charles: "Not far from the Royal Theater is the commercial center of Abyss City, where there are many shops and restaurants, you can go there. ”
The coachman then went on and on to introduce Charles to a few famous shops, from clothing stores to antique shops, and then to several unique restaurants.
"Quite a few shops are open until 12 o'clock, you can have dinner and then go to the shops. The coachman said to Charles.
Charles asked the driver in detail about a few good-sounding shops, and he could stay here for half a day to-morrow, leaving with Nicholas II after lunch, and it seemed that he would have to wait until tomorrow morning to shop.
Amiya, who didn't know that Charles was a local tyrant, sweated for the queen's money bag in her heart. The country's financial situation has not been very good, and the pocket money of the demon king and queen is not very large. According to the few shops that Charles just asked in detail and the consumption level is not low, and referring to the momentum of sweeping goods when he bought the book just now, it is estimated that the queen's pocket money is not guaranteed.
At this time, Charles asked the coachman, "Is there a place in Abyss City where you can use the ATM card of the Chaowei Blue Dragon Consortium?"
The coachman was stunned for a moment, he knew that he had met a local tyrant, and he replied: "It's best to go to the temple to exchange cash, otherwise you can only spend it in the Chamber of Commerce opened by the Chaowei Blue Dragon Foundation." ”
Charles nodded, this temple took over the banking situation, it seemed that the east and west sides were the same.
Then he asked the driver what places in Abyss City were suitable for visiting, and the taxi drivers were the most well-informed people in any place.
The driver replied: "Lake Neva in the north of Chengdu is a beautiful place, and although it is autumn and many trees are beginning to lose their leaves, it is the best time to eat fish and crabs. ”
"What about the mule's island?" Charles asked, smiling at Amia.
"On the island, it is now a medicinal herb cultivation base, and there is the largest pharmaceutical workshop in the country. "There are also several health care facilities on the island, such as the Royal Sanatorium, the Military Sanatorium, and the Scholars' Sanatorium. If there is a vacancy there, you can pay the money to check your health and treat diseases. ”
"Have you been there, then?" said Charles, curious.
"Hehe...... the driver scratched the back of his head and said, "In the first two years, I was praised for collecting money, and the company specially approved me to go to the workers' sanatorium on the island to rest for ten days. ”
"Awesome!" said Charles, giving the coachman a thumbs up.
Then the coachman continued: "The west of the city is a university area and an industrial area, and the industrial area cannot be entered casually, but the university area can still be visited. If you go early, you can also get a pass so that you can go to the classroom to observe the class. ”
"So good?" said Charles, a little surprised.
"yes. The coachman replied, "However, you must not disturb the discipline of the classroom when you are observing, otherwise you will be fined lightly, and you will be forced to re-education through labor in the worst case." ”
Charles felt a little regretful, because he didn't have time, otherwise he would really want to go and see it.
Finally, the coachman said: "There is nothing to see and do in the east and south, there are residential areas, and outside the city are fields, and there is nothing new." ”
Originally, the journey could be completed in about ten minutes by carriage, but Charles and the others walked and chatted all the way, and it took nearly thirty minutes to finish the stop-and-go.
At Charles's request, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
Charles asked the driver to recommend a restaurant for the two of them, and the driver dropped them off in front of a kid-themed restaurant.
Looking at the decorative paintings of flowers and plants and small animals in the style of the Pleasant Goat outside the restaurant, as well as the parents who came in and out with their children, Charles couldn't help but shake his head, and then pulled Amiya's sleeve to the hot pot restaurant across the road.
