The fate of writers

Chapter 23 Parker Pen Emergency Interpretation
After Jiang Ling rested for a night, he felt refreshed and had finally recovered.Breakfast was a bowl of seafood porridge. Jiang Ling could only use one word to describe it. If she could eat all the delicacies in Pingbo Mansion, even if she didn't buy a pen, it would be definitely worth it.

Jiang Ling went straight to Suiyunpo City after breakfast.Shuiyunpu City is the largest market in Pingbo Prefecture and is also a transit station for shipping. Almost all Dayan's goods, whether coming from the south or the north, can be found in Shuiyunpu City.And if you want to find new gadgets from overseas, if you can't find them in Shuiyunpu City, you probably won't be able to find them in Pingbo Mansion either.

The trading of bulk goods was over when Jiang Ling was in his overseas dreamland, and now it is mainly businessmen who are looking for their targets in the market, chatting and negotiating, and some other individual travelers like Jiang Ling.In addition, the farmers in the surrounding villages of Binh Bo Prefecture come to sell their own vegetables, and the people of Binh Bo Prefecture will also come to buy some fresh and cheap vegetables.Small vendors also set up stalls on both sides of the road, soliciting customers loudly.

Jiang Ling watched as he walked, but he was not in a hurry to find a pen, but stopped and walked as he pleased.When Jiang Ling walked in front of a bookstore, she felt that a figure was very familiar, but she didn't dare to misidentify it.

So Jiang Ling took two or three steps forward and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was Liu Sanniang. When she saw that she had recognized the person correctly, she stepped forward and said hello: "Aunt Liu, have you eaten?"

Liu Sanniang also recognized Jiang Ling. Pingbo Mansion is also a big city. It was fate to meet her. She happily replied: "I have eaten, how about you? I will take you to Xidian oysters. Come to Pingbo once." , I must have eaten Xidian oysters.”

"I've eaten it too. I'll try the oysters you recommended tomorrow." Jiang Ling listened to Liu Sanniang's recommendation and began to salivate unconsciously. He had already decided to eat red paste crab in the evening, and he would eat it three times a day. Seafood, her stomach couldn't bear it, so she was already planning to eat puff pastry at noon.

"You want to buy this foreign stuff, right? There's none here. You have to go west first, pass by Caixia Cloth Village, then turn and go north... Oh, it's quite complicated. How about I take you there. Liu Sanniang said enthusiastically.

Jiang Ling looked at the two strangers behind Liu Sanniang: "It's too disturbing. I have a good memory. If you say it again, I can remember it. Go west first..."

Jiang Ling completely repeated what Liu Sanniang had said.

"Your memory is really good. You can rank among the top five people I know. Don't refuse, I've already talked about it. The more you go inside, the more forks in the road will be. It's hard to find." Liu Sanniang boasted, and then told The two people behind her explained a few words, and then walked ahead to lead the way for Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling couldn't shirk it, so he had to go with Liu Sanniang.The road became more and more remote, until the din of people gradually faded away.

Liu Sanniang took Jiang Ling to a street of antique bookstores.Such a place is naturally quieter.

"Aunt Liu, why are foreigners' things so hard to find? Even some locals can't find them here." Jiang Ling asked in confusion.

"Foreigners' gadgets are something that only a few people can afford. Those that can be sold at a high price can't be found in the downtown area." The foreigners' gadgets in Liu Sanniang's mouth obviously did not mean woolen fabrics, tea and coffee.

Liu Sanniang led Jiang Ling to turn three times and arrived at Zhenbao Pavilion: "Zheng's Zhenbao Pavilion, as the name suggests, has collected many treasures. Foreigners' gadgets, Zhenbao Pavilion will not miss it. The things you want to find are probably It can be found in the Treasure Pavilion."

Liu Sanniang walked in first, followed closely by Jiang Ling.Liu Sanniang and the shopkeeper knew each other. After the two exchanged greetings, Liu Sanniang said: "Old Qian, this is my little girl, here to see the foreign stuff. What should I say? Do you have to take out everything from the bottom of the box for us to look at? "

"Sanniang has spoken, but you are not allowed to take out the things to show." Shopkeeper Qian was very considerate to Liu Sanniang and asked the waiter to take out all the foreign things.

"See if there is anything you want. For foreign goods in Pingbo Mansion, you need to go to Shuiyunpu City, and in Shuiyunpu City, you have to go to Lao Qian. The foreign goods here are the best."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Jiang Ling's thanks were sincere, but it felt a bit perfunctory, because her eyes were already attracted by the dazzling array of products.

From all kinds of clocks, to lighters, glassware, and pens.Jiang Ling spotted a thin and long black pen at a glance. Looking at the letters on the side of the pen, Jiang Ling unconsciously read out that it was from Parker.She fell in love with the pen at first sight.

"The treasurer..."

"Miss……"

"You speak first." The two bumped into each other again.

"Then I'm not going to be modest. Miss Dare to Ask, but you know British?" Shopkeeper Qian looked at Jiang Ling as if he was looking at a savior.

Jiang Ling paused, she knew that language is constantly evolving, but is the English of this era the English she is familiar with?

Shopkeeper Qian saw Jiang Ling's hesitation, and continued, "A businessman from Britain will come in a while, but the interpreter I was looking for broke the contract temporarily. Now that the businessman from Britain is about to arrive, there is no time to find a new interpreter." , I originally planned to throw it all away, but I didn’t expect to meet a noble person."

"Miss, don't worry, it won't be worse than before. And the businessman in Great Britain will also bring an interpreter. There will be no problems in communication. What the lady needs to do is a double-guaranteed job. Please, the boss entrusts the important task Give it to me, if something goes wrong because of the interpreter, I will die. I just ask the lady to save me once. If you are willing to help, this pen will be given to you."

Shopkeeper Qian could of course see Jiang Ling's love for fountain pens.The fountain pen that Jiang Ling liked was also the highest in this batch, worth ten taels of silver, but if Jiang Ling could solve his urgent need, it wouldn't matter if he gave it to Jiang Ling.

"This..." Jiang Ling was still a little hesitant, in case it delayed him.

"Just help Lao Qian once. I promise, no matter the outcome is good or bad, he won't complain to you, right? Lao Qian? It's too stingy just to give you a pen. How can you have a pen without ink? Give it more My little girl has a bottle of ink." Liu Sanniang and shopkeeper Qian are also old friends, and she persuaded, but she also wanted to fight for what Jiang Ling deserved.

"Should, should, Miss, I, Qian Youfu, swear to God, no matter what the result is, I will never blame Miss."

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Jiang Ling was moved by the two men and was willing to give it a try.

"Great, Xiao Li quickly wrapped up the pen and ink for the lady. By the way, do you still know the lady's surname?" Shopkeeper Qian actively ordered. It is rare to find an interpreter in this situation, but you can't put it down People let go.

"My surname is Jiang. The shopkeeper doesn't need to pretend. If it doesn't work, I don't have the face to take it away." Jiang Ling said.She felt helpless seeing Xiao Li's packing speed so fast, she thought to herself, if she can't help Shopkeeper Qian, she can buy it with money.I don't know if she, as an emergency interpreter, can live up to the high expectations placed by Shopkeeper Qian.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, Ms. Jiang, I think your speech is much smoother than the interpreter I found." Shopkeeper Qian really thought so.
