There is a happy inn in the capital.

It's a bit dark, but that's okay. It'll lighten with time.

Yu'er has big, bright eyes, a straight nose, and red lips; she'll definitely be a beauty when she's fair-skinned.

Xiao Feng looked at Yu'er and whispered to Li Shuchen, "Miss, who is this young lady?"

Li Shuchen: "Her name is Yu'er. From now on, she will be part of our inn and will be working as a waiter with you. You should get along well with Yu'er."

Xiao Feng blushed, scratched her head, and said, "I understand, Miss. Don't you trust me?"

Yu'er bowed to Xiao Feng: "Brother Xiao Feng, please guide me in the future."

Xiao Feng was captivated by Yu'er's address of "Brother Xiao Feng," and couldn't stop smiling.

"Of course, of course. If you have any questions, Yu'er, just ask me. I know the answers to everything."

Yu'er smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng."

Li Shuchen felt reassured because she saw that the two of them got along well.

"Let Xiaofeng show Yu'er around the inn."

Xiao Feng exclaimed happily, "Hey!"

With an extra waiter in the reception hall, Li Shuchen no longer needed to work there, so he went upstairs to check on Yu Ying.

Xiao Feng showed Yu'er around the kitchen and the dishes.

Yu'er is very smart and quick to learn. In no time, she was able to do it easily and methodically.

A customer suddenly rushed downstairs, looking anxious, and quickly asked Manager Xu, "Manager, may I ask how I can get to Yiqing City from here?"

Manager Xu pondered for a moment. He vaguely remembered Yiqing City, but not much. This truly stumped him.

Stroking his beard, he thought about where he was.

Yu'er watched as Manager Xu stroked his beard, not answering immediately, which made the customer impatient, so he stamped his foot.

He then said, "Sir, getting to Yiqing City from here is simple. You can first travel by water to Pian City, and then transfer to a carriage from Pian City to reach Yiqing City."

The guest relaxed his brow and bowed to Yu'er, saying, "Thank you, young lady."

After saying that, he immediately turned to leave the inn, then frowned. How was he supposed to rent a boat? It was his first time in the capital, and he knew nothing about it. It was his own fault for not asking around beforehand.

After hearing what Yu'er said, and seeing the customer stop and frown, Manager Xu quickly said to the customer...

"If you require assistance, sir, our inn can help you rent a boat. You can simply wait at the inn; once the boat is rented, the inn will arrange a carriage to take you there."

Upon hearing this, the guest's brow relaxed again, and he hurriedly replied, "In that case, I'll trouble you. I'll go back to my room now and pack my luggage."

Manager Xu gave Yu'er twenty taels of silver and winked at her. Yu'er was clever; she took the money and immediately ran out of the inn.

Xiao Feng came out of the kitchen after delivering the dishes, but didn't see Yu'er. A little anxious, he asked Manager Xu...

"Uncle Xu, have you seen Yu'er? She disappeared while I was serving the dishes."

Manager Xu replied unhurriedly, "Yu'er went to rent a boat for the customer."

Xiao Feng scratched his head: "Oh, Yu'er even knows how to rent a boat, that's really amazing!"

Manager Xu stroked his beard and replied, "It's quite good."

Before long, Yu'er bought the boat tickets and entered the reception hall.

Shopkeeper Xu: "Yu'er, before the guest finishes packing his luggage, go and rent another carriage."

Yu'er replied with a smile, "Uncle Xu, I've rented it. It's parked at the door."

She couldn't help but feel relieved. Luckily, she had overheard Uncle Xu say that the inn would arrange a carriage to take her there, so she took it upon herself to rent one, and sure enough, it was needed.

Shopkeeper Xu looked towards the entrance and, sure enough, saw a carriage parked there; it was the same carriage he usually rented from.

Limin Horse Stables offers fair prices and is known for its integrity, making it the best choice for renting a horse-drawn carriage in the capital.

Yu'er is quite knowledgeable about various places in the capital.

Manager Xu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yu'er did a good job. It seems she knows a lot about everything happening in the capital."

Yu'er said shyly, "Knowing more skills means having more ways to make money. I've learned a lot before to earn money."

Shopkeeper Xu: "Yes, Miss Yu'er, all the hard work you've put into learning will be rewarded."

Yu'er handed the remaining money from buying the boat tickets and renting the carriage to Manager Xu.

Yu'er: "The boat ticket cost fifteen taels of silver, the carriage ticket cost five hundred coins, and this is the remaining four taels and five hundred coins."

Manager Xu glanced at the silver; the amount was correct, the price was accurate, and Yu'er hadn't hidden anything, demonstrating her loyalty. He then carefully put the money away.

At this moment, the guest hurriedly came down with his bundle on his back.

Customer: "Shopkeeper, how much silver do the boat tickets and carriage cost?"

Shopkeeper Xu: "Because Piancheng is quite far from the capital, the boat ticket costs fifteen taels of silver, the carriage 500 copper coins, and the labor cost 500 copper coins."

The customer nodded. In this sweltering heat, they had helped him buy boat tickets and rent a carriage; five hundred coins was a reasonable fee for their trouble.

He took out two ingots of ten taels of silver and placed them on the table.

"You've been a great help to me. This matter was urgent, and I was in a hurry to get to Yiqing City on business. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. Please consider the remaining money as my thanks to the inn, and don't refuse me."

After hearing this, Manager Xu accepted the silver since he had already said so, and said with a smile, "Take care, sir."

Yu'er drove the carriage to see the guests off.

Manager Xu went upstairs to Li Shuchen and said, "Miss, Miss Yu'er is very knowledgeable. I think we can entrust the guests' travel arrangements to her."

Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so?"

And this unexpected surprise—she really stumbled upon a treasure.

"Then let her handle it, and give her 50% of the profits from the trip."

Shopkeeper Xu: Yes

******

It rained last night, and it's wonderfully cool this morning.

In the Sanbao Hall, Li Shuchen was brainstorming ideas for the "Four Beauties Fresh Fruit" shop design. She felt the packaging was too ordinary, failing to highlight the unique features of "Four Beauties Fresh Fruit" and lacking prestige.

So I kept writing and drawing on paper.

Liang Yuying put down the book she had been reading all morning, looked at Li Shuchen, and said, "Shuchen, you've been sitting there writing all morning, take a break."

Li Shuchen: "I'm designing packaging for fruit shops. Then, when customers buy fruit, it will be packaged in our exclusive 'Four Beauties Fresh Fruit Gift Box,' making them feel very prestigious."

"If we have face, they'll buy more of our fruits, and we'll be able to earn more money. With lots of money, we can buy ourselves big houses and big carriages."

Liang Yuying asked, "Does Shu Chen also want to buy a house for himself?"

Li Shuchen replied, "Of course."

Who wouldn't want a home that belongs only to them?

Regardless of whether she can live there or not, she needs someone; it's been her lifelong dream, and she's been working towards it for many years.

After completing this inn quest, you should be able to afford it.

Hearing Liang Yuying ask "I also want to," Li Shuchen replied...

"Didn't Yuying also want to buy herself a house?"

Liang Yuying nodded: "Yes, I just want to live with my mother."

That way she wouldn't have to see her father, who wished she were dead, or other people who annoyed her just by looking at them.

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Then let's work hard together and strive to achieve it as soon as possible."

Liang Yuying smiled and said, "Okay."

"How's the drawing coming along?"

Li Shuchen: "I want to use a mahogany box to store fruits and have the words 'Four Beauties Fresh Fruit' carved on it, but if it only has words, it will be too ordinary. If it includes the four of us, I don't know how to design it."
