Chapter 122 Occasionally Lonely



There are really a lot of new restaurants opening in Xianyang recently.

At noon, the three of them found a small restaurant that seemed to be quite crowded.

Although the food here now cannot be compared with modern ones.

But at least it is available everywhere, which makes it more convenient.

"How is the recruitment situation over there?"

After eating, Zhao Jun sat on the chair, holding his stomach.

"Everything is going smoothly. There are even a few too many people. A lot of people have signed up. After screening, I think we can recruit enough people today."

"When the workshop was built, a few rooms were left empty, so the space is large enough. Now we just have to wait for everyone to return to work the day after tomorrow to teach these newcomers."

Qingliu was in a relaxed mood, everything was going well on her side.

"That's fine. Then you should go back and get busy this afternoon. Meng Yi and I can go together to find a place."

She glanced at Meng Yi who was sitting upright, and received a sweet nod and smile from him.

"Well, if you need any help, send someone to the workshop to get me."

Qingliu left first after getting Zhao Jun's approval.

"Sir, what should we do now? We should go directly to the Neishi Mansion and ask if there are any houses for sale in Xianyang."

It’s just a matter of finding a shop to do business, Meng Yi feels it’s very easy.

"Okay, sit down first. I don't plan to call a fish shop directly."

Zhao Jun had this idea at first, but since she was going to let go of this fish pond in a year, wouldn’t it be a waste to allocate a shop for it now?

So she just gave up the idea.

"Ah, if we don't run the shop anymore, how are we going to sell fish tomorrow?"

Meng Yi asked.

"Why are you so stupid? Why don't you put them in the shop? I'll just sell them on the street."

Aren’t many vendors like this nowadays?

"Okay, it's normal that you can't think of it. Let's go see which street has the most vendors this afternoon, and then just set up the stalls tomorrow."

After saying this, Zhao Jun patted his butt and stood up to leave.

Meng Yi touched his head. Why did it feel like she was addicted to scolding me?

The two of them acted separately and soon found a place where there were more vendors.

Zhao Jun walked around and thought the location was good, so he booked it.

"Sir, now that this is done, I can go back."

Meng Yi felt so exhausted that he could not even cry. He had a good day's rest but he was still so tired.

"Okay, go back. This is none of your business anyway."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and threw it away after use.

Meng Yi left, but Zhao Jun did not leave.

It was just around three in the afternoon, and it was still a long time before dark.

She wandered aimlessly around the city.

In modern times, she likes to walk slowly alone.

Although I feel lonely sometimes.

But this loneliness can give her undisturbed thinking.

As she walked, many things flashed through her mind.

There was her childhood in an orphanage, and the quarrels between her parents even earlier that she could no longer remember.

Thinking of her ordinary, repetitive and lonely days.

Finally, I returned to the present, like a dream in Xianyang a thousand years ago.

She longs for the boiling of stagnant life, but she is conservative and stubborn in maintaining a calm heart.

Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, when I have free time, I tend to think about all sorts of things.

Although it was still early, Zhao Jun, who had been wandering around for a long time, decided to return to the palace to rest.

When she wakes up the next day, she will be full of energy again.

In the early morning, the sun rises as usual.

After finishing the work at the workshop, Qingliu and Zhao Jun came to the street market they had previously favored.

She had made arrangements with the captain last night and was going to Weishui to transport the things when daybreak came.

Now the sun has risen a little higher and there are more and more street vendors.

I guess the captain should be here soon.

Sure enough, not long after, a large group of people came over.

Qi Min and his wife followed behind, and the cart in front was loaded with buckets of fish and shrimp.

Their group quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.

When the buckets of fish were taken off the truck, the people on the street were in an uproar.

There are so many fish. Did they catch all of them?

You have to know that nowadays people eat fish almost by chance by going fishing, so they rarely get to eat fish.

But now there are so many fish, and there are also those big shrimps.

Ordinary people don’t know whether those shrimps are delicious or not, but they are river seafood after all.

Buckets of fish were still being brought down.

A few vendors nearby, unable to restrain their greed, slowly walked towards Zhao Jun.

"Girl, are you selling this fish? How much is it?"

The lady who was buying vegetables came over and asked.

Zhao Jun thought about it and decided that since these fish were all about the same size, he might as well sell them individually.

"A fish costs eight cents, and shrimps are sold by the pound, six cents a pound."

The old lady clicked her tongue.

"How come these shrimps are more expensive than fish?"

Eight cents for a fish is really not expensive. The lives of the people in Xianyang have been much better during this period. But what she doesn't understand is why these shrimps that she has never eaten are more expensive than fish. They are sold by the pound, and shrimps that weigh almost the same as fish probably cost twenty cents.

"You don't know this. Shrimp is more nutritious than fish and tastes better than fish. You can cook it and eat it. You can't even taste the fishy smell of fresh shrimp."

When Zhao Jun said this, many people around him heard it.

The captains had almost finished moving their things.

The number of fish that can be pulled in one trip is limited, and it will probably take three days to pull out the remaining fish in the pond.

"Sister Wang."

Zhao Jun called out to Wang Ni who was busy working by the car.
