Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Uncle Qin sent Song Shiwei to Tingzhu Pavilion because Tingzhu Pavilion was the most famous and popular bookstore among literati in the capital.

After arriving, Song Shiwei felt helpless when he saw that the place was Tingzhu Pavilion. He pinched his brows and said, "Let's go to another place, just find an ordinary bookstore."

Uncle Qin was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then hurriedly moved to another place.

Song Shiwei just wanted to buy some new storybooks, but she thought that a high-end and classy place like Zhuge might not sell storybooks. Even if it did, Song Shiwei felt too embarrassed to ask.

After changing to another bookstore, Song Shiwei saw many storybooks he had never read before, so he immediately bought one of each, and also bought several sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He asked Uncle Qin to move the things to the carriage, while he stood in the corner of the bookshelf with the storybooks in his hand and looked through them.

After an incense stick of time, Uncle Qin came in to remind him, and Song Shiwei put down the book. Then the two of them went to the embroidery workshop to pick up Feng Ru.

When they were almost at the embroidery workshop, Song Shiwei happened to lift the curtain of the carriage and saw Feng Ru standing obediently at the door of the workshop, looking around from afar. Next to her was a girl who looked quite familiar, and was talking to Feng Ru with a smile on her face.

"Oh, Sister Lin Ting, I saw my carriage," Feng Ru, who was about to return to Lin Ting, suddenly had his eyes light up and stood on tiptoe to wave at the carriage.

Lin's heart trembled when he heard this, and he turned his head to look in the direction Feng Ru was waving.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the two of them. Song Shiwei lifted the curtain and first looked at Feng Ru with curved eyebrows, then looked at Lin Ting. At this moment, he could see the girl's face clearly from a close distance, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When their eyes met, Lin Ting smiled brightly: "Long time no see, how are you, Miss Song?"

Song Shiwei also recognized Lin Ting and smiled: "Very good, where is Miss Lin?"

"I feel the same way. When I saw Ru'er in the embroidery workshop just now, I felt that she looked familiar. After asking her, I was sure that if I had known that you were also coming to the capital, I would have gone with you no matter what."

Feng Ru grinned at the side: "I didn't expect Sister Lin to recognize me."

Lin Ting's eyebrows softened: "Miss Song's men's clothing is very realistic. As for Ru'er, your men's clothing is too obvious."

Feng Ru pouted after hearing this.

The sun was rising, and Song Shiwei didn't like the hot temperature outside, so she said, "Miss Lin, do you want me to take you home?"

Lin Ting's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, unable to suppress the curve of his mouth: "Thank you very much, Miss Song. I live in Tianshui Lane, East City, and the first house is my home."

"Oh, Sister Lin also lives in Dongcheng, so we're just on the way," Feng Rujiang heard Lin Ting give her address as soon as he got into the car, and said with surprise.

"Also? You guys live in East City too?"

Feng Ru looked at Song Shiwei, turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, we live in Camellia Lane."

Lin Ting was surprised and looked at Song Shiwei who was sitting opposite him without saying anything. "Tianshui Lane is only half a minute away from Camellia Lane. It's very close. I happen to be free these days. If Miss Song and Ru'er don't mind, I would like to invite you to my home as guests, okay?"

Song Shiwei raised his eyes and looked at her: "I don't like going out."

Lin Ting still had a smile on her face: "I see, then why don't I just go find you guys? I love going out the most. It's too boring to stay at home. I'm tired of reading the books in the capital, and the girls from the noble families look down on merchants like us. Fortunately, I met you guys, and I'll have a place to go out and visit in the future."

Feng Ru looked at Lin Ting with bright eyes: "Sister Lin likes to read storybooks?"

Lin Ting brushed his handkerchief, covered his lips and smiled shyly: "Just don't laugh at me, my parents often travel north and south for business, I'm really bored at home, and I don't have many friends in the capital, so I like to read some storybooks, but I've finished reading them recently, so I'm waiting for the bookstore to have new ones so I can buy some more to kill time."

At this time, Song Shiwei was looking at Lin Ting with a smile in his eyes: "The storybook is good, there are no good jokes, I also like to read storybooks at home."

As he spoke, Song Shiwei moved his body, revealing a pile of books behind him. The book on top had "The Juren Master and His Pretty Lady" written on it.

Lin Ting's eyes suddenly widened.

Feng Ru covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Sister Song also likes to read storybooks, just like Sister Lin."

Song Shi smiled softly, and then looked at Lin Ting with a much gentler look: "It seems that Miss Lin and I not only have a deep affinity, but also share the same hobbies. I wonder if Miss Lin has many storybooks at home. If you go to your home someday, can we exchange them? Most of the storybooks in my home were brought from the North, and Miss Lin probably hasn't read them yet."

Lin Ting came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed, with a look of surprise on his face: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that Miss Song and I have the same hobby. I have indeed never bought a book in the North, and I don't know if it is the same as in the capital. How about this, I will bring the book to you in the afternoon and we can take turns reading it."

Song Shi smiled and replied: "Since we are friends, it would be fine if you just call me."

"Okay, you can call me Niaoniao. This is the nickname my parents gave me," Lin Ting happily repeated Song Shiwei's name in his mind. The more he repeated it, the better it sounded.

After sending Lin Ting to Tianshui Lane, the two agreed on a time to visit in the afternoon, and then returned to Camellia Lane.

When Mrs. Cai saw Song Shiwei coming back, she hurried out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Miss, would you like some snacks?"

Song Shiwei stopped and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you make snacks?"

"I wasn't much of a cook in my previous home, so I learned to make a few dim sum dishes, and then I made some changes myself, and they tasted pretty good."

Song Shi nodded slightly: "Use some over there and try the flavor of the snacks you made."

Mrs. Cai's smile widened: "Well, Miss, please sit down for a moment. I will bring it to you right away."

As soon as Song Shiwei walked into the main room and sat down, Mrs. Cai came in with two plates of snacks.

"Miss, this white jade cake is slightly sweet, and this pineapple cake should be lighter."

Upon hearing this, Song Shiwei picked up a small piece of pineapple cake and took a bite, then nodded: "The dim sum is very delicately made and tastes good. I didn't expect that not only do you cook delicious meals, but your dim sum is equally delicious."

Mrs. Cai held the plate and smiled brightly: "As long as the young lady likes it, this old servant only knows how to make these two snacks. If the young lady likes to eat them, this old servant will make them often."

"Is it troublesome to make snacks?"

"It's no trouble, it doesn't take much effort."

Song Shiwei nodded: "I'll make some more tomorrow. The white jade cake is fragrant. I'll put less sugar next time. You can take this dessert and share it."

"Thank you for the reward, Miss," Mrs. Cai retreated with the white jade cake, her face full of joy.

After everyone left, Song Shiwei took out a small purse containing one or two taels of silver from the space and said, "Give it to her as a reward."

Feng Ru held the silver in her purse, her eyes widened: "Sister gave her so much?"

"It's rare that she's so thoughtful. The snacks taste good." Seeing her distressed look, Song Shi smiled softly, "It's not like I give her rewards every day. Just give it to her."

"Oh," Feng Ru ran out.
