"anyone there?"
Song Siyuan and the others stood in the yard, their voices echoing clearly among the brick walls and stone floors.
"Come on, come on, township party, should I go to the top or stay in a hotel?"
A young shop waiter came out. This young man from Guanzhong was tall and strong. He was dressed in a gray jacket and black trousers quickly and neatly. His dark face was grinning with white teeth, and his eyes were sinister and black. He could only be considered a crew cut. The face is not very good-looking, but the rough and arrogant aura permeating the body is indeed rare.
"Brother, stay in the hotel and give us a few rooms, just two people per room. It's best to be in a quiet place."
The young man from Guanzhong took a pen and scribbled down Song Siyuan's request. He raised his head and carefully counted the number of people. He was sure that there were six people staying in the hotel, and then he gestured for them to follow him.
Entering the north hall, the fence elevator lifted up with a clang. After exiting the elevator, the young man from Guanzhong took them all the way to the left corner. When they reached the end of the corridor, they stopped, turned around and explained: "The guests in the rooms at the end of the corridor are all." If you don’t want to, there are very few people here, so it’s pretty quiet.”
After saying that, he took out the key in his hand, unlocked the door locks of three of the guest rooms, and handed the keys to them: "The deposit for each room is two silver dollars, the room fee is fifty coppers, and any damaged items will be compensated at the price." , the deposit will not be refunded."
"Okay, deal."
Since Song Siyuan was recommended to Lefu Inn, she had no intention of leaving. She counted the oceans and handed them to the waiter. He counted the oceans and blew them with his mouth. Then he listened to the sound with his ear and confirmed that it was really oceans. Then he showed a satisfied face: " Well, if you need anything, just let me know and just use the bell in the room."
After the waiter left, Yue Guanchao pushed open three guest rooms, and gave the largest guest room to Song Siyuan. Sun Daqiao and Yue Qingshan, two old men, lived in a smaller room, and the last remaining room belonged to the three of them.
Yue Guanchao picked up Song Siyuan's luggage and pushed in the door before her. The moment he saw the furnishings of the guest room, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, this guest room is quite fashionable. Erpao and I have never stayed in this kind of room in our lives." Room."
Although Lefu has the word "inn" in its name, the decoration of the guest rooms is not in the classical Chinese style at all. It is full of modern elements and is very similar to the Western eclectic style popular in southern metropolitan areas. Among them, the Simmons bed, fan-shaped pillows, square table bedside tables, and colored glass Lamps, water heaters, fans, red carpets, sofas and chairs, lacquered wardrobes, bronze dressing mirrors and other items are all available. Push the retro glass door and you can walk into the balcony.
The crystal table lamp is so bright and translucent that it looks like the moon has shattered the stars and shines brightly!
"This big ocean bed is too comfortable. Even the emperor can't live in this style~"
Yue Erpao and Xu Xiake walked in here with their heads raised. Although the three rooms were all in this style, the size of the guest rooms was large enough, which made the place even more luxurious and extravagant. It was very different from the residential houses in other parts of Xijing City.
Xu Xiake groped around, pointed at these Western objects and said: "Of course, that yellow bag guy is right. Ever since the news of being the capital of Xijing spread, many foreigners have come here to do things. The Xijing authorities are afraid of them. After Luan was out of danger, he built the Love Inn on the most prosperous South Street, specifically to entertain these wealthy foreigners. I think the whole inn looks like a meandering tower with a patio in the middle, which is quite similar to the Jinling Central Hotel."
"Brother Xu, since you know so much, why didn't you say a word just now? If you introduced the things, wouldn't we be able to save some money?"
Logically speaking, Xu Xiake was very familiar with Xijing, so he wouldn't have said anything along the way. When Song Siyuan saw that he was acting like a gourd with a sawed mouth just now, she was curious as to why.
"You will know what the reason is after you see for yourselves."
Xu Xiake opened the balcony and motioned for everyone to look downstairs. Everyone pushed open the balcony door and looked around. The balcony protruded nearly one meter from the wall and was tightly sealed by glass. Their room was located at the highest point of the floor, and they could easily see South Street. The alley outside.
The young man from Guanzhong who had just welcomed them in was indeed exchanging greetings with the rickshaw driver. He counted out a big ocean from his hand and gave it to the driver. The two were talking and laughing, obviously they knew each other.
"They are actually in the same group~"
Song Siyuan felt that she had been deceived, and the little satisfaction she felt from giving money no longer existed.
Xu Xiake pointed to the streets and introduced the situation of these coachmen:
"Song Qianjin, this isn't really a group, it's just a little thought of the poor. If you take rickshaws all over the capital, they will have to take you to other places. This is what they have to do with the shops." The secret among the bosses is that as long as you get someone over, there will be a tea fee, and if you can make money from the guests, there will also be hard-earned money."
"Besides, we asked the noodle shop boy about staying in the hotel. He probably heard us and followed our instructions and sent us here."
"It's not easy for these rickshaw drivers to travel in the wind or rain. They have to drive outside in the middle of winter. I heard that most of them will not live past the age of forty. Once their bones are exhausted, their life will be gone. They get up early and work hard to make some money." Money is just to support the family, which cannot be called greed.”
