Chapter 249
The shopkeeper of the inn is quite friendly, Xu Shi's business has been a bit cold recently, a clean and spacious upper room only costs [-] qian, but Ding Wei's heart bleeds with distress.

After wandering around on the boat for ten days, she received ten taels of silver as a reward. Except for the one given to Aunt Luo, she lost more than seven taels of silver.Counting with your fingers, it is enough for the Ten Days Inn.If you can't find a merchant ship as soon as possible, you may even have to pay the boat fare.

But having a safe place to stay is better than anything else, and this is not the time to feel sorry for Yin Zi.

Xu Shi finally got off the boat. Even though she didn't find a boat she wanted to board, Ding Wei was relieved after all, and slept soundly that night.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, she got up and washed up.

Showing wealth is the most taboo when going out, but now Ding Wei is relieved. When she fell into the water, she lost all her jewelry and her dress was soaked.At the moment, she wears a wooden hairpin that can be bought for two cents, wears a fine cloth dress, and a pair of old shoes given by Aunt Luo. Her appearance is only average, and after more than ten days of suffering, her cheeks are thin. Going down, the lips are white, except for the big eyes that are still bright, just like an ordinary peasant woman outside.

Downstairs in the inn, Ding Wei ate a bowl of bland Yangchun noodles. After paying the bill, Ding Wei went to the dock again.

Originally, she wanted to beg the employers of the two merchant ships, but they got up early and ran away, Ding Wei was so angry that she stomped her feet.After waiting to go to the third boat to inquire, the boss of the boat was even more straightforward, and said directly, "Little lady, if you can take out 200 taels of boat fare and 100 taels of river crossing fees, give them to the defenders on both sides of the barrage." , Da Yue 50 taels, Donghao 50 taels. I will sail immediately!"

300 two?
Ding Wei stared angrily, this is really a penny and a hero.Ever since she woke up in this time and space, she has opened a shop for her family, and she has almost never felt sorry for money.

Previously, even if she wanted to buy a shop, she didn't have enough money. Now that Gong Zhiming is a golden mountain, even if she doesn't want his "investment" because of her self-esteem, the money is always in front of her eyes, and whether she can take it or not is her problem.Secondly, the shops of the Detachment of Women have been earning money, and she can spend the money in a month at most.Anyway, it's not that difficult.

Now I only have seven taels in my hand, and the boss of the boat asks for three hundred, the gap is as far as heaven and earth...

The boss of the boat is not bad at heart. Seeing that Ding Wei was really anxious to go back to Donghao, he said a few more words, "If you don't have money, don't go back. A person who came back from the border of Tiele said yesterday, Tie Le Da Khan is blowing the horn again to recruit people, and I am afraid that he will attack Dong Hao again. The two countries are feuds, as long as they fight, they will never die. You might as well hide in our Da Yue, so as not to go back and suffer the flames of war!"

"What? Tiele is going to mobilize troops, is this news true?"

Ding Wei was taken aback, Da Yue was really unfamiliar to her, but Tie Le was very familiar to her. Back then when Gong Zhiming beat up half of Ti Le in the Western Expedition, he almost stopped crying when talking about it at night.In just two years now, Tie Le is about to make a comeback. Is he bullying Donghao Xinli, or does he have the confidence to attack again?
Ding Wei, the boss of the boat, curled his lips, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and waved his hands impatiently, "You little girl, what are you doing asking so many questions? Do you have any money? If you have money, you will set sail. If you have no money, you will leave." people!"

Ding Wei was so angry that she really wanted to reward him with a handful of itch powder, so that this villain who said he was half-hidden was itching until he died.

But she was out alone, so she didn't want to cause trouble after all, so she could only bear her anger and leave.

I don't know if all the merchant ships got the news overnight that Dong Hao and Tie Le were going to fight. Hearing Ding Wei's inquiry, almost all the ship owners shook their heads like rattles.

Ding Wei had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. She wanted to go to Pangcheng first, and then go to Wenshui Wharf when she arrived at Pangcheng. In this way, she was always closer to Donghao.At that time, it is really impossible to go by land by boat.Merchants seek profit, no matter how dangerous it is, there will always be merchants who will go back and forth between Donghao and Dayue. As long as she meets one, she can find a way to make a companion.

Having made up her mind in this way, Ding Wei began to ask merchant ships one by one from the beginning to the end.Almost all the bosses of the boats knew her. Some of them said they couldn’t go east without waiting for her to speak, some said they would go after a while, and some said they would leave immediately, but when they spoke, their eyeballs stuck to her chest. Can't move forward...

After a whole day, Ding Wei was so tired that her mouth was parched, so she had to go back to the inn at dusk.

The shopkeeper of the inn was well-informed, and he gave away a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles for free. Finally, he sat opposite Ding Wei and said with a smile, "Little lady, Dong Hao and Da Yue are not so close. There is more and more money, and almost no one goes there. You don’t have much money with you, so you might as well work here for a few months, save enough for the boat and go back.”

Ding Wei looked vigilantly at the smiling shopkeeper, and asked lightly, "How does the shopkeeper know that I don't have a boat fare, and that I, a little girl, have no ability to earn wages. How did the shopkeeper say this?"

The innkeeper's eyes flashed brightly, and he still smiled kindly, "Don't worry, little lady, I also heard from the coolies on Boss Luo's boat that they rescued a woman with the boat, and they cooked delicious dishes. Fish, delicious and sweaty, is most suitable for people by the water to eat more. Although the pier is messy with people coming and going, you are the only woman who wants to go back to Donghao. So, don't be too mottled, little lady, I am sure I am right. "

Ding Wei raised her eyebrows, but she couldn't help being annoyed. She was anxious to find a boat for the past two days, but she forgot that she could sell vegetable recipes for money.Speaking of which, if you go to those big restaurants in Yuedu, the recipes must be more expensive.But there are still two hundred miles away from Yuedu, and I don't know what dangers I will encounter on the way back and forth, so I might as well sell it directly to the shopkeeper in front of me.

"I'm in a hurry to go back to Donghao. The shopkeeper wants to keep me to work here, but I'm afraid it won't work. But if the shopkeeper is interested, we can talk about that spicy boiled fish recipe..."

The innkeeper's eyes became brighter, and his smile became more cheerful, "I've only heard about it, but I haven't tasted it myself. It's better for the young lady to show her skills, so that I can ask for a price!"

This made sense, Ding Wei thought about it and drank the porridge, then went to the back kitchen with the shopkeeper.

The back kitchen of the inn was fairly clean, and there was a fat cook and a handyman busy inside. Seeing that the shopkeeper brought Ding Wei in, he didn't say much, and continued to cook the dishes profusely with sweat.

Ding Wei didn't care, she found a small iron pot with a clean mouth, caught a two-jin carp in the fish tank, and tossed away.

The shopkeeper seemed to be an upright person, he even kicked out the chef and the handyman, and finally stood at the door by himself, with a look of avoiding suspicion.

Ding Wei smiled, and continued to work. In less than half an hour, a pot of hot red chili oil was floating, and spicy and delicious boiled fish fillets were served from the stove.

The old shopkeeper immediately took the chopsticks and went forward to taste it. Needless to say, hissing in his mouth, he couldn't help eating a few more mouthfuls.The chef and handyman outside the door also ran in at some point, and they all tasted it.

The shopkeeper exchanged glances with the chef, and the chef walked away.The old shopkeeper lifted his chin, lost his amiable appearance, and said with a sneer, "Little lady, you have lived in the best upper room in our inn for the past two days, and you need ten taels of silver for one night. This morning, you only paid eight Money, I still worry about where to find you to make up the money. I don’t want you to come back, needless to say, let’s make up the rent first!”

Seeing the shopkeeper's sudden change of face, if Ding Wei still doesn't understand that she is stupider than a pig for entering a black shop.

In the past two days, she ran into walls everywhere, she was full of anger, and when she was eating porridge just now, she thought that the time was right, she didn't want to step into a pile of dog shit.

"Hmph!" Ding Wei sneered angrily, pulled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her head while asking, "What if I can't get the money?"

"Then leave the recipes!" At some point, the chef who found a thick-backed machete proudly blocked the door, but the handyman still had some conscience, hiding in the corner and not daring to make a sound.

The old shopkeeper also smiled "magnanimously", "Yes, the lady has no money to pay the bill, so keep the recipe. Even if this recipe is sent to Yuedu, it will only cost five taels of silver, but you can't buy it when you go out. Easy, I'll give you ninety-two-eight, make up the debt and forget it."

"Then do I want to thank the shopkeeper for his benevolence?" Ding Wei really looked at the disgusted faces of these people, and without waiting for the old shopkeeper to speak again, she raised her hand and held him in place with two embroidery needles.

The chef didn't know what happened, and when he was about to go forward, Ding Wei gave him two injections. The machete in his hand fell to the ground, and the tip of the knife scratched the face of his feet, and blood came out immediately.He was in so much pain that he groaned, but he was helplessly pinched by Ding Wei and couldn't move.

Seeing the blood color slowly soaking his shoes, Ding Wei managed to let out a sigh of relief.Just when I was thinking about what to do next, someone suddenly laughed and said, "Yo, I really didn't rush here for nothing. It's so lively, it would be a pity to miss it!"

Ding Wei was startled, subconsciously dodged behind the old shopkeeper, and then looked up, and saw Qin Rui, who had disappeared for a day and night, was crossing his arms, leaning against the door with his slanted Danfeng eyes.The only glow left in the sky was not bright, but when it shone on him, it actually warmed Ding Wei's heart.

"It turned out to be Dong Qin's family. Someone agreed to arrange a ship to take me back at the beginning, and I didn't want to have no news." Ding Wei couldn't help but mocked when she thought of what happened in the past two days, "Why, Dong Qin's family suddenly remembered that I broke my promise , came here to make amends with me?”

Qin Rui shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly, "Miss Yun guessed right, I am here to make amends. However, Dayue is about to close the river, and the waterway will not be able to go, but I found a broken carriage and bought some food. The only thing we need is a cook. Miss Yun wants to take a ride back home?"

Ding Wei was really discouraged when she heard the words. The waterway is the fastest, but she just can't take a boat.It's not impossible to go by land, but at least half a month later to get home.But she glanced at the frightened and angry old shopkeeper and the fat cook, she could only grit her teeth and nod, "I hope Dong's family won't break their promise this time!"

"I can't finish the delicious food, so I won't 'eat' it!" Qin Rui said, turned his head and walked out.Ding Wei thought about it for a while, but in the end she couldn't be more angry, and each rewarded the old shopkeeper and the fat cook with a kick. (The computer was broken, and it was already midnight after repairing, so I got up early at [-] o'clock to make up a chapter. Try to avoid it in the future, I'm really sorry.)
