() "Urgent matter?" Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but be startled. When he called in the afternoon, Lao Bai didn't say a word. Why did an urgent matter suddenly appear now? "Are you okay?" he asked tentatively.
"Well, I have to go back to Hannover." Lao Bai happily revealed the answer, "Hualing is back."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart immediately thumped. As soon as she arrived in Munich, Valin summoned Lao Bai back. She came back at the wrong time.
"She took the initiative to call me and said she had something to talk to, so I..." Lao Bai felt that he couldn't help Dong Qiangqiang and was embarrassed to finish his words.
Although Dong Qiangqiang was surprised, he also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Lao Bai would definitely go back, and it would not help to struggle on his own. The best way to deal with it was to make peace with it now.
"How long will it take for you to go back this time?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"Two days if it's fast, four or five days if it's slow." Lao Bai showed a determined look on his face, "But I will definitely come back. The group I have just adjusted their itinerary this afternoon. They are now in Austria, waiting for it to finish there. Then I will go back to Germany."
"No problem, don't worry." Dong Qiangqiang took a sip of tea, "As long as you tell me what I need to do."
"I knew there would be nothing wrong with you." Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was not at all awkward, Lao Bai patted his shoulder with relief, "The first thing you have to do tomorrow is rent a car. "As he said that, he handed a card to Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang took the card carefully and saw a bunch of colorful cars of different models printed on it, and a series of phone numbers written below. "A rental car?"
"Yes. Your driver's license is Class B, which allows you to drive a car with up to nine seats. The previous driver has been renting cars from this company, and it has the same model. You can rent a nine-seater car tomorrow and come back. There are seven people in our group. , counting you and the tour guide, there are exactly nine."
"How dare you let me drive it when I just got the book?" Dong Qiangqiang said with emotion, "You are really brave. Aren't you afraid that I can't drive well?"
"Is it a car accident if you don't drive well?" Lao Bai said, "Hey," Yile said, "It's normal to get scratched while driving, so just drive with confidence. To say the least, if you don't drive well, can't you still drive well? Really? It’s okay if we get into a car accident, we have insurance, and as long as nothing happens to our customers, we’ll be fine.”
"Sure." Dong Qiangqiang nodded and put the card into his pocket, "Then where should I find a tour guide the day after tomorrow?"
"We will go back after dinner in a while, and I will introduce you to the tour guide, Brother Yun." Before Lao Bai finished speaking, the waiter had already brought out the two hot and two cold dishes ordered by Lao Bai one after another.
"Brother Yun..." Dong Qiangqiang said the name silently. At this moment, the waitress in the tavern floated past him with eight packs of beer in both hands. Dong Qiangqiang was stunned. A pack of beer seemed to weigh at least two kilograms, maybe more than that. Eight packs of beer are not light. Ah, but the waitress looked like she was carrying a heavy weight. She didn't seem to be carrying any weight at all.
Lao Bai saw his eyes and smiled slightly, "HB beer has a sweet taste and endless aftertaste. It is very famous in Germany. I should invite you to try it first, but you have to drive tomorrow. If you are caught by the police after drinking, I'm afraid it won't be good."
Dong Qiangqiang knew that he had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained, "I'm not that addicted to wine, I just saw it out of curiosity."
"When these guys leave, I'll treat you to a nice drink." Lao Bai promised, "Now you try their signature dish first, crystal pork knuckle."
Dong Qiangqiang looked at the basin-like plate in front of him, and saw an oval peeled boiled potato helplessly squeezed to the edge of the plate by a big elbow. The skin of the elbow was brown with gold in the middle, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Cut a corner with a knife and fork, and the aroma of stewed meat immediately entered the nostrils.
Dong Qiangqiang got on the train without lunch. Unexpectedly, the hot meals in the train dining car were sold out and only cold meals were provided. He did not want to eat cold food, so he was hungry all the way to Munich.
"It smells so good!" Dong Qiangqiang praised while waving his knife and fork to the melodious Bavarian traditional folk songs. In the blink of an eye, only a piece of bone remains from a large piece of pork knuckle.
"Would you like another piece?" Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was still unfinished, Lao Bai deliberately teased.
"Eating this alone is too filling." Dong Qiangqiang was not polite to Lao Bai, "Can you give me some sparkling water? And then another one?"
"Waiter, please bring another pork knuckle and two bottles of sparkling water." Lao Bai shouted loudly.
"Tell me about the situation of this group." Dong Qiangqiang wiped the oil from his mouth, "Is there anything I should pay special attention to?"
"Well, this is a small group. There are only seven people in total, including men and women. They are traveling together from a village in Zhuji or Yiwu. Maybe two of them are related. And all of them are doing business. ." Lao Bai's eyes slowly narrowed into slits, and he said meaningfully, "So you are really worthy of my attention."
"Where did they stay the past few days?"
"They landed in Munich, then went to Stuttgart and Frankfurt, then flew from Frankfurt to Austria, and will take the train from Austria back to Munich tomorrow. They had previously named places like Neuschwanstein Castle and Königssee, so your best choice tomorrow is It’s a good idea to drive and get familiar with the road, so as not to be in a hurry the day after tomorrow." Lao Bai ordered.
The waitress put the extra dishes on the table. Lao Bai put a few coins into the waiter's hand. The waiter thanked him and left.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's questioning look, Lao Bai smiled and said, "This is a tip. From now on, the customers will give it to you after you finish driving every day."
Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "Is there a tip for being a driver?"
"Of course, drivers are not like tour guides. They can get rebates for taking customers to shopping at cooperative duty-free shops, and they only have some tips. Therefore, most tour guides don't compete with the driver for the money. It all belongs to the driver. If you meet someone with a good heart, The tour guide will also give the driver some rebates from the guests' purchases." He paused, "But you don't have to worry, if we work together, the rebates will definitely satisfy you."
"Thank you, Brother Bai." Dong Qiangqiang picked up the tea cup and saluted. He knew that he had entered the industry.
As soon as he finished speaking, the music on the stage at the end of the hall suddenly started. Then, a chorus of uneven voices echoed through the hall, and the whole room instantly turned into a sea of music.
Dong Qiangqiang could only see Lao Bai's mouth moving, but couldn't hear what he was saying.
"What did you say?" Dong Qiangqiang pointed to his ear, "I can't hear you clearly."
Lao Bai leaned into his ear, "Since we're talking about money, let's talk about your salary."
