Chapter 33 Agreeing on Public Sites
"Wow, Shopkeeper Bai, this carriage is so grand and beautiful! It's even double-decker, completely different from any I've ever seen before!"
"So, can I really go up and experience it later?"
As soon as Kong Nishang entered the [Fairyland], she was immediately attracted by the carriages at the entrance.
She had assumed that only royalty and nobility could ride in such a magnificent carriage, so when Bai Mengran offered her a seat, she didn't even have time to say hello before trying to confirm it.
"Of course! These public carriages are specifically designed for transporting guests!"
Normally you need to buy a ticket to board, but today I'm offering you a free ride as a thank you for explaining things to you yesterday!
"Ha, that's great, thank you so much, shop owner!"
My goodness, she really made the trip worthwhile today!
Looking back, she must have had some incredible luck today, that her father would actually suggest she come out and play.
Yesterday, Kong Nishang managed to slip in through the back door before Magistrate Kong returned to his residence.
He hid the snacks he had bought under her bed in her boudoir and hurriedly returned to his study to take the fruit plate that the maid had been sitting in her place all afternoon.
During dinner, Kong Nishang was too full from eating too much in the afternoon and simply didn't have the energy.
But this would obviously be misunderstood by her father, Magistrate Kong.
Seeing that his daughter was so tired that she couldn't eat, he thought it was because he had put too much pressure on her, and he felt sorry for her and felt a little guilty.
His daughter, though not very bright, is still very obedient to him.
Besides, you can't entirely blame his daughter for not being able to think clearly; he, as the father, also bears some responsibility.
So, the kind-hearted Magistrate Kong, for the first time ever, did not make Kong Nishang recite the text today, and even took the initiative to suggest that she go out for a stroll and relax.
Kong Nishang thought to herself, "Did the sun rise in the west today? Has her father actually changed his ways?"
But this was exactly what she wanted. She was just thinking about how to sneak back to the Fairy Realm today, and now this was perfect.
She hurried back to her room, took the purse she had exchanged for her father's jade pendant the day before. There was too much silver inside, so she took out some and hid it. With the rest of the purse, she happily headed to the [Fairyland].
Who would have thought that good luck wouldn't stop there? Once inside, they ran into Shop Owner Bai and stumbled upon this wonderful opportunity!
Kong Nishang waited for her carriage in high spirits, while Bai Mengran was still admiring the five carriages that caught her eye.
Upon closer inspection, the bodies of each carriage were made of an unknown material, and the exterior of each carriage radiated a diamond-like luster of different colors, making them magnificent and dazzling!
Most importantly, each carriage was staffed with a handsome and dashing coachman.
The driver has a separate seat at the junction of the carriage and the horse.
Although the carriages are actually driven in a fully automated, driverless mode, they still need to be equipped with a driver to make it look like a normal journey. The driver is also responsible for helping passengers get on and off the carriage and providing services throughout the entire process.
Overall, Bai Mengran, being a sucker for good looks, couldn't find a single fault with either the carriage or the driver.
And for some reason, she always felt that even the horses in front of the carriage, with their big eyes, long eyelashes, and long legs, looked much more handsome and dashing than ordinary horses.
Bai Mengran was captivated by the exquisite beauty of the carriage when an AI coachman alighted from the golden carriage at the front and walked straight toward her.
"Hello Mr. Bai, I am [Coachman 1]. I am responsible for coordinating all carriages and drivers."
If you have any requests, you can explain them to me in person.
Of course, you can also view the real-time status of the five carriages through multi-angle monitoring in the [backend].
In addition, you can stay in real-time contact with the coachman in the background and modify the carriage route at any time.
Seeing that he immediately began his work report in a serious manner, Bai Mengran also adopted a boss-like tone.
"Okay, I understand roughly now! I'll set off immediately after I've planned the route!"
"Yes, Mr. Bai!" The coachman replied and returned to the carriage.
"Shopkeeper Bai, your carriage is amazing! Was that handsome young man your coachman just now?"
Kong Nishang overheard their conversation from the side. Although she was confused and didn't quite understand what they were saying, she could intuitively sense that the carriage here was no ordinary one.
Not to mention the carriages, in her impression, coachmen were usually big, burly and dark-skinned, but the coachmen here at Shopkeeper Bai's place were all quite handsome.
"Ha, could it be that Miss Kong has taken a fancy to a coachman?" Bai Mengran teased her casually.
"I didn't, Shopkeeper Bai, please don't make fun of Ni Chang like this..."
Kong Nishang blushed instantly, easily amused; she simply enjoyed admiring the scene.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. It was just a joke, Miss Kong, please don't take it to heart."
Actually, I have a question I'd like to ask Miss Kong. Could you recommend some places in Taoyuan Town that are in a relatively densely populated area and have convenient parking?
I'm new here and not very familiar with the area. As you know, I plan to use a horse-drawn carriage to attract customers, so I'd like to trouble you to give me some suggestions and recommend a few suitable locations."
Bai Mengran considered that the best way to set up a public carriage stop was to ask the locals who were familiar with the terrain, so now there was a suitable candidate!
"Hmm, let me think about it..."
Kong Nishang frowned, struggling to recall the terrain in her mind, her memory failing her.
"Oh, right! In about 15 minutes, it will be lunchtime and lunch break time at the town's academy."
As far as I know, the academy didn't provide meals; students usually had to find their own. Some students brought their own food, while those who were better off would eat at restaurants near the academy or in the market.
After much analysis, Kong Nishang finally came up with two addresses that she thought were feasible.
These are Wanlu Academy, located north of Huanxi Street, and Dongmu Academy, located on Dongfang Street.
"Shopkeeper Bai, you can try your luck at the entrance of the academy. You should be able to attract a lot of business there!"
I happen to have a friend who works at Wanlu Academy; we can ask her for help when we get there.
She'd definitely be willing to come; she's always complained to me about how there's nothing to eat around that suits her taste.
Kong Nishang was very engrossed in giving Bai Mengran advice.
Xiao Kong's reputation for being helpful is truly well-deserved; asking her for help was definitely the right thing to do!
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Kong. Your thinking is very thorough, and I think it's quite feasible! In that case, let's go to the academy to give it a try on our first trip!"
Upon hearing Kong Nishang mention Wanlu Academy, Bai Mengran thought of Su Yingying. She hadn't seen Su Yingying bring any classmates yesterday; she wondered if something had delayed her or if she couldn't find anyone. She decided to go and check on her.
"Miss Kong, please get on whichever carriage you like and rest for a while. If you have any questions, just ask the driver. I will meet you in a bit."
Bai Mengran instructed the coachman to treat Kong Nishang well, and then left her to explore the carriage on her own.
She then returned to her villa base, activated the system, and quickly set the route for this trip.
