Chapter 35 Carpooling
The next day, Zhang Tian woke up to the smell of food, rubbed his eyes and looked at the table, only to see that it was full of steaming food.
"Young Master, are you awake? I just went downstairs to buy something to eat, so get up and eat! Shaochun was tidying up the bed, and when she heard the movement, she turned around and smiled.
"What a blessing, when you open your eyes, you can eat! What time is it? Zhang Tian crawled up.
"It's almost noon, I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't call you to get up..."
Zhang Tian was stunned, it seemed that he was reading too late last night, and practicing swordsmanship caused him to sleep until now.
But after a good night's sleep, my mind cleared up a lot, and my spirit seemed to have recovered.
Shaochun was very caring, and had already sent the washing water back to the room, Zhang Tian simply washed it, and then sat down at the dining table to eat.
"Chun'er, let's go to the car dealer to charter a carriage and take the car all the way to the Wuyun Mountain." Zhang Tianba said with a pout.
Shaochun picked up a bun and looked at him with some surprise, "Young master, you didn't say it, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and you want to walk to Wuyun Mountain?" ”
"Isn't it because the plan can't keep up with the change!" Zhang Tiandao, he did plan to go to the past, which can be regarded as a kind of cultivation, but who knew that he accidentally obtained two treasure books.
If you go by car, you can save time in a hurry and use it to read a book.
Although it doesn't look thick, it's definitely much more complicated than the sword technique, and it takes a lot of time to study it.
After the two finished eating, cleaned up, went downstairs to the counter to pay off the money for the hotel, and by the way, asked the shopkeeper about the location of the car dealership, and walked out of the inn.
The prosperity and area of Huaishui City are much inferior to those of the Imperial City, but the population living in the city is not small.
It is the main route connecting the western part of the county, and many merchants come and go, and most of them choose to rest in this city.
Because after this Huaishui City, you will enter the mountains and forests to the west, and you have to walk about a thousand miles to reach the next city, Jinxi City.
In the mountains and forests, bandits are also rampant, so many people will hire dart masters in the city to ensure the safety of the road.
Therefore, in the city, the carriage and horse shops and dart board industries are very developed, and many local people eat this bowl of rice.
"I'm sorry, this young man, all the carriages in our car shop have been rented out, why don't you go to another house?" The boss of the car dealership said with a smile.
"Oh well, thank you!" Zhang Tian's face was full of depression, and he led Shaochun out of the car dealership.
The two of them had already asked three carriage and horse shops, and either the carriage was gone, or it was booked in advance.
"Young master, why don't we just go? According to our footsteps, it is no slower than a carriage. Shaochun wanted to laugh a little, and felt that the young master's expression was a little cute.
Pinched Shaochun's face, Zhang Tian was in a much better mood, he planned to find another one to ask, if there was no car, he could only rely on two legs to hurry.
After walking a short distance, he saw a car dealership called 'Shunchang', Zhang Tian walked in, "Boss, do you still have a car?" ”
A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard came out of the house, his clothes stained with putty, and a large hammer, as if he had just repaired something.
"Yes, dare to ask Shaoxia, where do you want to charter a car?" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, saw the two of them carrying long swords behind them, and asked with a smile.
"Oh, I want to go to Dark Cloud Town at the foot of Dark Cloud Mountain." Zhang Tiandao.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Strange, why have you been there these days?" ”
"What?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I still have a carriage at home, but the carriage is an eight-seater, or you can wait a long time, if there are other people riding together, the fare can be much cheaper."
Hearing this, Zhang Tian shook his head, "Don't wait, I've got this car!" ”
Generally, the price of chartered cars is not cheap, and many people will choose to carpool with others, so that the fare can be shared evenly and a lot of money can be saved.
But Zhang Tian doesn't care at all, there are few people but it is clean, and there is no need to shy away from reading books in the car.
The boss nodded with a smile and rubbed his hands, "Done!" But the fare for the eight-seater is twice as expensive as the four-seater, you see..."
Zhang Tian didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hand and was about to take out the silver from his pocket, when he saw three women in white clothes fluttering, wearing veils and holding long swords walking in.
"Do you still have a car? We would like to charter a car to go to Dark Cloud Town! ”
Hearing the crisp voice, Zhang Tian was slightly stunned, and hurriedly turned his head.
Hey, didn't you come to the inn yesterday, the three sisters in white!
"Uh... Yes, there is, but this young man came to book first, or... Do you discuss? The boss looked at a few people and rolled his eyes.
His eight-seater carriage will charge forty taels for a single trip to Wuyun Town, and if it is per head, he can collect ten taels per person, so that he can earn a lot more.
The average passenger will not refuse, after all, everyone pays a lot less.
Ji Lingyan naturally saw Zhang Tian as well, and immediately snorted coldly, "Boss, I'll pay double, you give us the car!" ”
"This... I'm sorry miss, but you should discuss it with this young man. ”
The boss was a little embarrassed, and the double price naturally made him excited, but the rule of the car dealership that came first came first could not be broken.
Zhang Tian touched his nose, but he didn't squeak, he wanted to see if this chick would come to beg him.
Shaochun, who was standing behind Zhang Tian, also looked inexplicable, muttering in his heart, how did the young master drop these three girls?
Ji Lingyan glanced at Zhang Tian and found that he was also looking at herself, obviously waiting for her to beg him!
"Senior sister, we have visited so many car and horse shops, and there are still cars in this house, why don't I go and discuss with him?" Xia Yu, who was following her, said.
"Yes, senior sister, I'll go and discuss with my sister, right?" Xia Xue, who was the shortest, also stepped forward and shook Ji Lingyan's sleeves.
In fact, they can also go to Heiyun Mountain by walking, but in the wilderness, even if the three of them have cultivation, the girls' families will inevitably be afraid.
Seeing the appearance of the two junior sisters, Ji Lingyan gritted her silver teeth and walked in front of Zhang Tian, "Shaoxia, can you let the three of us take a ride together?" ”
Zhang Tian hugged his arms and looked at the woman's good-looking eyes, sniffed the wisps of incense, and smacked his lips, "It's not impossible, I have to ask my sister-in-law if she agrees." ”
Shaochun immediately nodded, "Young Master, I can!" ”
"Then Cheng, let's sit together!" Zhang Tian smiled and pinched Shaochun's little face and said with a smile.
"That's it! I'll go get ready, and we'll be on the road in half an hour!" The boss on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and after speaking, he turned around and went into the backyard.
Ji Lingyan, who thought that she would be troubled by Zhang Tian, was a little surprised, she didn't expect him to be so easy to speak, yesterday, she also said that Zhang Tian was a disciple, this person doesn't hold grudges?
"Thank you, young man! My name is Xia Yu, this is my sister Xia Xue, please take care of me on the way! Ji Lingyan's two junior sisters walked up to Zhang Tian and said with a smile, they obviously didn't want to resist Zhang Tian like their senior sisters.
"Well said, well said! Take care of each other! ”
Even if the two girls cover their faces, they can see from the eyes of the two that their looks are definitely not bad, "My name is Zhang Tian, this is my sister-in-law Shaochun!" ”
"Hello three sisters!" Shaochun said generously to the three of them.
"Sister Shaochun is so cute, this is the hibiscus crisp I bought in the city just now, you eat it!" Xia Yu smiled, took out a piece of oiled paper halva from his bag, and handed it to Shaochun.
"Thank you!" Shaochun hurriedly took it over, very happy.
Zhang Tian was speechless, this girl knows how to eat!
