Additionally, the territory Steward Ma assigned to Lin Xuankong was very much to his liking. It included Wutong Village, Cow and Horse Street, Yangchang Street, and the Five Streets and Forty-Two Lanes—right near Lin Xuankong's home!
Being the 'big boss' of the Five Streets and Forty-Two Lanes near his own home was certainly a good thing!
After finishing his errands, the sky had already grown somewhat dark. Lin Xuankong arranged with Bald Li Er, Yang Mountain, Guo Yun, and others to meet the next day at his Steward station on Cow and Horse Street. Then, he carried a wooden box containing a new Daoist Robe, a Sandalwood Token, medicinal herbs, and other items, and headed towards Wutong Village.
At the street entrance, he looked up and saw Old Zhang, who sold leek pies, still busy. He walked over and said, "Give me eight leek pies."
