Chapter 735 Qiu Xian
The commercial street on the edge of Shanhaiguan is prosperous because of Shanhaiguan. As long as Shanhaiguan is still the main entrance and exit, then they can rely on Shanhaiguan to continue to prosper.
A group of people were still walking on the street after dark, and each of them wore black cloaks, all dressed as if they were on the road. This kind of clothing would attract others' attention in any town, but here it is very common. The streets are brightly lit, and you can see pedestrians coming and going in a hurry, including people from Guanli who have just entered the customs, and people from Guandong who have just arrived here to exit the customs. This is Shanhaiguan, a distribution center for the flow of people and goods.
"Those who come from the south, those who go north, those who go to the top, and those who stay in the hotel, I have invited you all."
On the busy street, although the street is still brightly lit, it was already dark and there shouldn't be too many people, but now there are still silhouettes of people on the street. The boy from the big car shop on the roadside is standing at the door. He shouted at the top of his lungs to attract customers, and there were many customers standing beside him watching the excitement.
"From the south to the north, people are taking a break to transport goods. All old customers, please come in."
A warehouse boy was also standing at the door to solicit merchants. From his shouts, you could tell that this warehouse not only allows you to rest, sleep, eat and stay, but can also help you allocate goods, which means that it can help you put goods in. It is sold here, and it can also help you find the source of goods here, allowing you to come and go with an empty cart, and it can also let you come and go with an empty cart, but the premise is that you must live in his store.
My grandfather and his party were wearing black robes and weaving through the crowd, and soon found a relatively large local hotel called Caesar Hotel. There is also a hotel in this place. This kind of hotel is considered to be relatively high-end. You can stay and sleep upstairs, and eat, bathe and massage downstairs. Unlike state-run guest houses, those who can open a hotel in this kind of place are the kind of people who are very powerful in the local area. At the very least, they must be black and white. Otherwise, you will never be able to open it. If an average person opens a hotel like this, they will just have to wait for it to be smashed seven times in three days.
"How many people are there?"
There were four very energetic young men standing at the door of the hotel. When they saw my grandfather and the others coming over, one of them hurriedly came up to talk to him with a smile. These young men did not shout and call people. Only when someone stepped on the steps of their door, this door Only young men came forward to greet them and asked about the number of people and their needs. Those who came here were not necessarily staying in the hotel to sleep, but some just came to take a bath and eat.
"Eighteen people, stay here."
My grandfather was leading the group. After looking at the young man, he didn't feel anything was wrong or uncomfortable, so he decided to stay here, so he started talking about the number of people and their purpose.
Friendly reminder: If you are staying in a hotel outside, and you feel uncomfortable no matter what you look at as soon as you enter the hotel, and the receptionist and lobby manager are also uncomfortable, then don’t stay there, and find a hotel you feel comfortable with, otherwise Something bad is bound to happen. This is a warning from the soul. It can also be said that the horoscopes and the hotel are not dealing with each other.
"Okay, please invite me among the eighteen."
When the young man heard that there were eighteen people, he decided to stay, and he was immediately overjoyed. They all received fees for hosting, not only the rewards from the guests, but also the commission from the hotel, which was based on the guests' consumption. Yes, it's not a small amount of money to stay in a hotel for eighteen people.
My grandfather was brought into the hotel by a young man. The decoration of the hotel is pretty good, not rustic at all. It looks like it is decorated in a Western style. There are some people sitting there smoking and talking in the lobby, and there is a place to receive guests in the distance. , there is also a sofa and coffee table, and there are people drinking coffee and chatting together in twos and threes. My grandfather glanced around and saw a few old men from the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The way my grandfather and his friends dressed up quickly attracted the attention of these people. After all, it would be strange to say that someone dressed in black robes came to settle in a hotel like this. This is not a big car shop for people from outside, so people come and go here. They are all people who think they have a high status, either as officials or doing big business.
"Eighteen people."
The young man brought my grandfather and his friends to the front desk to receive us. There were three beauties and a middle-aged man in his thirties at the front desk. All four of them were wearing the hotel's standard clothes. The middle-aged man was obviously the foreman here.
"How many rooms do you want?"
The man in his thirties looked at my grandfather and the others. He knew with just one glance that the number of people was okay. He also noticed that my grandfather and the others all had a cold air on their bodies. He felt that they were not kind people. However, since they were opening the door for business, it was natural for them to do so. Everyone had seen it, so I didn’t say anything. I just asked my grandfather how many rooms he needed.
"Eighteen of us are all men. Do you have any recommendations?"
My grandfather looked at the wall behind the front desk. There was a painting on it. It was a landscape painting of Shanhaiguan. It didn’t look like a work by a famous artist. He heard a middle-aged man in his thirties at the front desk asking how many rooms he wanted. My grandfather didn’t know the room types of their hotel, but the number of people was listed here anyway, so he asked him to give a recommendation.
"The biggest room we have here is a four-person room. How about we open four four-person rooms and one two-person room for you."
The middle-aged man looked at my grandpa and the others, thought for a moment, and gave a recommendation. There were five rooms in total, four for four people and one for two. As he spoke, he was still observing my grandpa’s reaction. When he saw my grandpa, he made a recommendation. There was no obvious displeasure, so I finished speaking in one breath and waited for my grandfather's reply.
"Okay, you can book a room."
My grandfather nodded. He didn't live here long. The main reason was that he was tired last night. He didn't eat anything today and wandered around in the coffin. He needed to find a good hotel to rest.
"You need to pay a deposit of 100 yuan and proof of identity. Here is the room key. Xiao Min will take you up later."
When the middle-aged hotel foreman saw that my grandfather had agreed, he explained what he wanted. Money was necessary, and identification was also required. Everyone took out their identification documents and handed them to Butler Wei, who Next to my grandfather, when he heard the request for money, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a hundred yuan and handed it over, and also handed over everyone's identification certificates.
It is actually very troublesome to stay in a hotel at this time. This kind of private hotel is relatively good. If you go to a state-owned hotel and guest house, you also need a letter of introduction. Without a letter of introduction, you can't even think of staying in the hotel, and The bigger the city, the more troublesome it is, because this is the time when management is strict.
The middle-aged hotel foreman collected the money, looked at my grandfather's and his other IDs, and started busy for a while, from selecting keys to making orders. After everything was ready, he handed the order and keys to my grandfather.
"okay."
My grandfather took the keys and the order and gave them to Butler Wei. My grandfather was used to leaving everything to Butler Wei, so these actions were quite smooth. Butler Wei was also used to doing these things and took the keys. After taking a look at the list, I started to divide the keys, which was quite smooth.
