Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Zhang Yu glanced at the crowd still arguing around the educated youth office and yawned. "Shall we just get a double room?"

Zhang Hui responded with an "oh," and said, "No problem."

"Then let's get a room first, and after we put our luggage away, we'll go eat." Zhang Yu saw that she didn't object, and it made sense; the pampered young lady hadn't had a good rest these past few days.

"Oh, let's go eat first?" Zhang Hui frowned slightly. "I want to take a shower first."

"Hey girl, I want to take a shower too, but look at the time. If we don't go soon, the restaurant will close, and you'll go hungry if you want to take a shower."

"I don't want to go hungry, I need to go eat now." Zhang Yu carried her luggage inside.

Zhang Hui glanced down at the luggage on the ground and couldn't help but feel fortunate that Zhang Yu had insisted on mailing most of the luggage; otherwise, she didn't dare to imagine how she would have been able to carry it.

"Let's go eat first." Okay, I can take a shower later, but I can't go hungry.

“Get two rooms, we are educated youth.” Zhang Yu gestured to the many educated youths still arguing outside, then took out her ID and looked at Zhang Hui beside her.

They had already said they wanted to check into a hotel first, but they hadn't even taken out their belongings. Zhang Hui glanced at Zhang Yu before remembering that she needed to get her ID, and hurriedly frantically rummaged through her bag.

The original owner would have proactively helped search, but now, such a small matter is not difficult at all, so of course she does it herself.

"We need a double room, not too far from the toilet and water facilities," Zhang Yu stated directly.

“Okay,” the staff member quickly selected a room, “80 cents a room.”

“Okay.” Zhang Yu took out her money and paid the room fee. At this time, Zhang Hui had also found her ID card. Zhang Yu gestured for her to hand it to the staff. “It’s four cents per person. I’ll pay first, and we’ll settle the bill after dinner.”

She will pay for what is rightfully hers, but as for what is not, well, that's impossible.

Zhang Hui responded with an "Oh," and then said, "I know."

After quickly completing the check-in procedures, Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui carried their luggage to their room, put it down, and then went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

At this time, state-run restaurants are already past closing time. If you go to eat at this hour, the waiters will definitely not be happy.

Having grown accustomed to the smiling faces of service staff in later generations, Zhang Yu found it difficult to adjust to the long faces and stern, almost hen-like service of the present. But there was nothing she could do; after all, these were the eight most important service personnel.

"Hello, sister, we are newly arrived educated youth. I would like to ask what else we can eat." Since you're bothering her, don't keep her from getting off work.

When the waiter heard Zhang Yu call her "sister" and ask what they still served without ordering, his expression softened considerably.

Zhang Hui had eaten at restaurants with Zhang Gui and his group before, and she knew that the people there always had long faces, let alone going in for dinner close to the end of the workday, where their expressions would only be more unpleasant.

Who knew that Zhang Yu's few words could make the other person's expression less unpleasant? It was really strange. Zhang Hui really didn't understand. The eldest sister, who was seen as dull and unassuming by them, seemed to have become a completely different person after going out.

"We still have about thirty dumplings and some chive-filled buns." The waiter spoke with the kitchen staff, informing them of the current inventory.

"I'll take them all." Zhang Yu waved his hand and took all the items.

"Okay." The waiter quickly calculated the bill, and Zhang Yu paid promptly. "Although I ate a lot, I also need to take care of you, so let's split it in half, how about that?"

Zhang Yu discussed it with Zhang Hui, who nodded and said, "I know." Although she also had to carry things, she had quite a lot, so Zhang Yu helped her carry them. Not to mention, when she got off the train, Zhang Yu took care of her because she wasn't feeling well.

"Okay." Zhang Yu wouldn't neglect herself; she needed to eat well, sleep well, and rest well to have a strong body to handle what was to come.

In no time, the dumplings and buns were ready. "You wait here, I'll go get them." Since we're eating a lot, let's put in the effort.

Zhang Yu quickly brought the food over. "Don't rush. If we don't have time to eat, we brought lunchboxes and packed them in them."

Worried that the restaurant wouldn't let her in because it was close to the end of the workday, Zhang Yu thought about bringing a lunchbox with her. If all else failed, she could cook the food and take it back to her hotel.

Zhang Hui, who was initially eager to eat, remembered that they had brought their own lunchboxes, and her eating slowed down.

Zhang Yu put the extra ten dumplings into the lunchbox, saying, "If we get hungry tonight, we can still eat them."

I got off the train around 10 a.m. today, which means I didn't have lunch. Luckily, Zhang Yu had inquired about the arrival time beforehand and bought two extra steamed buns and eggs for breakfast, otherwise I would have been even hungrier.

"I wonder how long it will take to get to the commune tomorrow." Right, she was just thinking of asking, but she ended up just eating.

Thinking of this, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, then walked over to the waitress who was already chatting. "Excuse me, sister, is it far from here to Hongqi Commune?"

The waiter said "Oh," and replied, "That place is a bit far from the county town, but it's closer to the city center."

"The commune has a vehicle that goes to the city, which takes about two hours."

Zhang Yu hadn't expected that Hongqi Commune would actually be closer to the city center, though it would take two hours by car. This news left her speechless. The good news was that there was a car to the city center, but the bad news was that the journey would take quite a while. Still, it was better than coming to the county town.

"How long does it take to get from the commune to the county seat?" Since I've already asked, I naturally want to find out the details.

"There is no bus from the commune to the county town. If you take an oxcart, it will take about four hours."

It takes four hours to travel by oxcart, so it's really better to go to the city, where there are more things to do. But this also shows that Hongqi Commune is located between the city and the county town, so it's not close to either place.

The good news is that at least there are cars to the city center, which is the only good news.

Zhang Yu returned to her seat and told Zhang Hui what she had found out. Zhang Hui was surprised to find that the place was so remote and exclaimed, "So remote!"

Zhang Yu had the same thought. This place was unusually remote. She couldn't help but wonder if it was a place that person had deliberately chosen, otherwise how could they have been so lucky to be chosen in such a place?

After participating in many missions, Zhang Yu no longer believed in so-called great luck. There is no such thing as luck in this world; there is only scheming.

"It is quite remote." Zhang Yu's heart sank. The more remote the place, the further away the emperor is. She didn't know what the situation was like there. In her previous life, the original owner was trapped there and couldn't get out. Was it really because she had no way to get out?
Is there someone who doesn't want her to come out? The original owner's memories didn't contain anything about this, but Zhang Yu felt it was a problem.

The good news is that, according to the original owner's memories, before the incident, the villagers kept a certain distance from the educated youth. Although the village chief and the village party secretary were somewhat biased towards the villagers, they were not overly biased.

The reason is that a female educated youth from a commune got into trouble. When her family found out, they brought people over and filed a complaint with the city's educated youth office. After that, the atmosphere here changed. Even if they bullied the educated youth, they didn't dare to go too far, for fear of making a big fuss again.

That's good. Zhang Yu knows that as long as nothing goes wrong at the last moment, she can avoid what happened in her past life. (End of Chapter)
