Zhang Xiaohua looked at the copper coins in front of him and asked with a smile, "Are there enough copper coins? Is the weight of the silver also sufficient?"
The waiter replied with an air of righteousness, "Sir, you can doubt my character, but you cannot doubt the reputation of Food for Heaven. We would never deliberately shortchange or overcharge our customers."
Zhang Xiaohua said, "Well, I'll trust you then. And by the way, do you know where Pingyang City is?"
"Pingyang City?" The waiter scratched his head, "Sir, I've only heard of Pingrong City, Yiyang City, and Yu City. I've never heard of Pingyang City."
This puzzled Zhang Xiaohua.
Pingyang City was the largest town he had ever seen, yet this well-informed waiter had never heard of it. How far away must it be? How far had he drifted?
Zhang Xiaohua immediately stood up and asked excitedly, "So, is there a Cart and Horse Service called Rapid Horse Carriage Shop here?"
