Shen Jingyue was unaware of all this. Right now, she planned to find a guesthouse nearby to stay in.

She had never been to the city before, so she asked an older woman for directions.

"Sister, do you know where there's a guesthouse around here?"

The woman glanced at her and pointed ahead, saying, "Go straight ahead, turn right at the first intersection, and you'll see the guesthouse."

Shen Jingyue glanced ahead and saw that there was indeed an intersection not far away.

She said gratefully, "Thank you, elder sister."

"You're welcome." The woman left.

Shen Jingyue followed the direction her older sister had indicated, and sure enough, after turning right at the intersection, she saw a sign that read "Guesthouse".

She walked straight over.

Upon entering the guesthouse, one sees the words "Serve the People" written on the wall, evoking a strong sense of the era.

The person guarding the counter was an older woman.

The older woman was eating her lunchbox.

When she saw someone come in, dressed in somewhat shabby clothes, she didn't look down on them.

Instead, he asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Shen Jingyue walked over and took out her letter of introduction.

"Hello comrade, I would like to stay here for one night."

"Should I stay in a dormitory-style room or a single room?"

The woman put down her lunchbox and took the letter of introduction from her hand to look at it.

"A private room."

The older woman looked up at her and noticed that she wasn't dressed very well. She thought she would choose a dormitory-style room, but she didn't expect her to choose a single room.

"A single room costs two yuan a night, while a dormitory room costs nine mao a night. Are you sure you want a single room?"

"Okay, thank you for your help, comrade." She then took out two yuan and handed it over.

Seeing that she really had money, the older woman didn't say anything, took the money, counted it, and then handed her a key.

"The room is 207 on the second floor. The toilet and bathroom are at the end of the corridor. You have to buy your own food. The guesthouse also sells food, but you have to bring your own money and tickets to buy it."

"Ma'am, if there are no tickets available, can I buy them for an extra cost?"

She knew she would have to take a train for several days to get to Beijing, and she couldn't go without food or water during that time, so she needed to buy some dry food to take with her.

The problem is that I don't have a ticket, and even if I have food in my storage space, it's inconvenient to bring it out.

It would be great if we could buy dry rations here for an extra fee without needing coupons.

"You don't have a ticket?" the woman asked, somewhat surprised.

Shen Jingyue felt a little embarrassed. She glanced around and asked the older sister in a low voice, "Big sister, do you have a ticket? I can exchange tickets with you."

She knew that this era was quite strict, and that buying and selling in private was not allowed, so she said "exchange" instead of "buy".

The older woman also glanced around.

His voice lowered slightly: "How much do you want?"

She had quite a few food coupons, and if the girl was willing to spend the money, she would be willing to exchange them.

"Big sister, how much do you have? I don't have a single food ration coupon on me right now."

The woman took out a blue cloth bag from her pocket, "and then took out all the food coupons she had brought with her, there were several of them."

"I have a few here, you can have one if you want." Her voice was soft, only the two of them could hear it.

Shen Jingyue looked delighted and handed one over.

Shen Jingyue was very grateful to receive the grain coupons.

"Thank you, ma'am, you're so kind."

She put the food coupons away.

"You can't tell anyone about this, or we'll both be finished."

"Don't worry, I'm just staying for one night, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Then please enjoy your meal, I'll head upstairs now."

The woman nodded, sat down, and started eating her lunchbox again.

Shen Jingyue found room 207, took out her key and opened the door. The locks were all the old-fashioned kind.

She opened the lock, then put the padlock back on and locked it again to prevent anyone from playing a prank and locking the bolt.

She pushed open the door and went inside.

The room wasn't very big; it only contained a bed of medium size, a table, a chair, and a thermos on the table—that was all.

Shen Jingyue closed the door, locked it, and then slipped into the space.

Upon entering, she was overjoyed to see everything so familiar.

She went straight to her room.

The first thing I did was take a shower and wash my hair, and then change my clothes.

After taking a shower, I felt completely refreshed.

She was wrapped in a bath towel, and her body was covered in bruises, a shocking sight. She cursed inwardly: The Qin family is truly despicable.

She looked at herself in the mirror. The original owner of the body looked very similar to her in modern times; they were practically identical.

However, the original owner was a bit thin, with a gaunt figure, which couldn't compare to her curvaceous figure in modern times.

Her face was thin and malnourished, making her entire face look sallow.

Because of frequent farm work, her skin is somewhat dark, with a sunburn mark on her neck. Her body is fair and smooth, but her face and exposed hands are a bit dark and rough.

However, if she can get her skin back to normal, she'll be a real beauty. She should eat more good food and take good care of her body, as her belly is really too small.

I need to go to the kitchen later and cook something delicious to nourish myself and help take good care of the baby in my belly.

It's important to know that if a baby doesn't receive enough nutrition in the womb, it may be born prematurely or suffer from poor brain development...

She took out one of her own whitening and moisturizing face masks and applied it.

After drying my hair, applying a face mask, and taking care of my skin, I went to my room to find my shirt and pants.

She thought for a moment, then took out only one nightgown to change into.

She can't wear these clothes yet.

It takes several days to travel to Beijing by train, and if I dress too well, I might attract unwanted attention.

It's better to wear those old, worn-out clothes; I can just throw them in the washing machine to wash them later.

After changing my clothes, I threw the clothes I had just taken off into the washing machine to wash them.

I went to the kitchen to cook.

She was starving.

There's a refrigerator here, and it's full of food she prepared beforehand, along with drinks, milk, and eggs. She eats all of that at home, only ordering takeout occasionally when she doesn't feel like cooking.

She took two eggs and a fish from the freezer.

This fish was a gift from a colleague. She was too lazy to cook it at the time, so she put it in the freezer. She never expected to use it now.

She wants to make sauerkraut fish today, and add two eggs.

After the rice cooker was on, I started to defrost the fish, washed and chopped the sauerkraut I bought, and then cut the defrosted fish and marinated the fish with seasonings.

Once you have all these things prepared, start washing the pot. Put the fish head and bones in the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. This way, when you add water later, the soup will be milky white.

Scoop the stir-fried fish head and bones into a clay pot.

She started stir-frying pickled cabbage again, adding scallions, ginger, and garlic, and the aroma of the pickled cabbage immediately came out, probably because she was too hungry.

She stir-fried the pickled cabbage and even tasted two bites herself; it was so delicious that her eyes narrowed.

Then put it in a clay pot, add hot water and start cooking.

After it's cooked, remove the fish bones and head, then add the fish fillets and two eggs.

Once the rice is ready, the sauerkraut fish will also be served.
