Chapter 23 Entering the Town



At the gate of Ruihe Town, two yamen runners were checking and releasing people.

"Two yamen runners," Shopkeeper Sun clasped his fists and gave each of them some silver. "These three are from Qingshi Village. Please be accommodating."

"Since they were introduced by Manager Sun, we won't make a fuss about it. Manager Sun, please give us more advice in the future." The two constables tactfully let Sun Youcai and others pass.

Not long after entering the town, Lin Tongxi discovered that there were quite a few people here.

Some people go shopping hand in hand, some open shops to welcome customers, and some set up stalls to sell goods. It seems that there is considerable value in commercial development.

"Young men, this is my first shop. It is currently managed by my wife and mainly sells various types of fabrics." Sun Youcai pointed to a shop on the right.

"This is my other shop. We sell all kinds of daily necessities. These three are my fellow villagers who run this shop for me." Sun Youcai then introduced his other shop. The people in charge of this shop are three of the five people rescued by Lin Tongxi and his team before, and the other two are Sun Youcai and Zhao Chuangdong.

"Okay, it's getting late. You three can go home and open the business tomorrow." Sun Youcai sent the three people from Qingshi Village back.

After walking for a while, Lin Tongxi and others came to an inn with four big words written on the sign: Fulai Inn.

"My humble abode is too small to accommodate the three young heroes. I can only ask you to stay in the inn temporarily."

"This is the most famous inn in this town. It's owned by the Zhen family, the most famous gentry in this town."

Sun Youcai led a few people in. When the shopkeeper inside saw Sun Youcai coming in, he greeted him with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, long time no see. Are you back from Qingshi Village?"

"This is Bai Yunshan, the son-in-law of the Zhen family, and the owner of this inn." After saying that, Sun Youcai introduced the three people to Bai Yunshan.

"Please take a seat. We have a new chef in our restaurant recently. His cooking skills are amazing. Please come and taste his cooking." Bai Yunshan skillfully poured tea and water for the people.

Sun Youcai gave the silver directly to Bai Yunshan, but as soon as he gave it to him, he found an excuse to leave.

"My dear young men, I have already paid the innkeeper Bai. You can stay in this inn for half a month."

"I have also given Bai Yunshan the money for today's dinner. Please enjoy your meal."

"Adong and I have things to do back at the store, so we won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

Zhao Chuangdong looked confused. He wanted to chat with Lin Tongxi and the others, but was pulled away by Sun Youcai.

Since entering Ruihe Town, the three of them felt that Manager Sun just wanted to get rid of them.

Well, after all, I saved Manager Sun, but in the end I was treated like this.

This kind of behavior is really disheartening.

The three of them were silent and the atmosphere was a little awkward until Bai Yunshan personally brought the dishes, and the atmosphere was relieved.

"Three young men, please try our restaurant's cooking. Manager Sun asked me to take good care of you three. After you finish eating, I will take you upstairs to stay." Bai Yunshan had a bright smile, which was his signature smile for welcoming guests.

The food in this inn was really good, and the three people's originally bad mood was relieved at this moment.

"Hmm! Delicious! Ben..." Su Ruoxue was about to say something when she was stopped by Lin Tongxi.

"What do you mean by 'ben'? Mr. Su, have you forgotten what we said before?" Lin Tongxi reminded Su Ruoxue to remember to disguise her identity.

Before leaving, in order to avoid Su Ruoxue's appearance from attracting unnecessary attention, Lin Tongxi deliberately asked her to disguise herself as a man.

Of course, like Su Ruoxue, Chen Yunxuan also disguised his appearance a little.

"Okay... this... hero naturally remembers it." Su Ruoxue almost forgot that she should dress up as a man.

"Calling me... hero is too intimidating. Learn a new one quickly. Either use 'I' or follow Brother Yunxuan's example and use 'Zaixia,'" Lin Tongxi complained. "Or, you could use 'Xiaosheng,' since you look handsome and elegant, more like a scholar."

"Then let's use Xiaosheng." Su Ruoxue was helpless. She finally thought of a self-proclaimed name that looked very handsome, but Lin Tongxi poured a bucket of cold water on her.

However, the name "Xiaosheng" is also good, and Su Ruoxue decided to adopt Lin Tongxi's suggestion.

The three of them ate with relish and finished all the food on the table in no time.

The shop owner took them upstairs and arranged accommodation for the three of them.

The three people's rooms are connected. Chen Yunxuan's room is closer to the stairs, while Lin Tongxi's is farther away. As for Su Ruoxue, she is right in the middle.

Lin Tongxi sat on the bed, crossed his legs, leaned against the bed, and thought about the next step.

The first thing to consider is money.

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done.

The most basic expenses are nothing more than two: food and housing.

They can stay here for half a month, and then they need to pay for their own accommodation.

As for food, Manager Sun only treated us to this one meal.

We will be burning money in the future. If we don’t find a way to make money, we will run out of money sooner or later.

In modern life, we have to consider money. I didn’t expect that after traveling through time, I would also have to consider money!

It’s such a headache. I wish money could fall from the sky!

Sigh! Let's think about something practical. First, survive, then we can help Chen Yunxuan end the chaos.

The so-called ideals in life will eventually return to a few pieces of silver.

Let’s first think about what these three people are suitable for doing to make money.

As for myself...there's absolutely nothing suitable!
