Chapter 162: Prosperity
The hotel in Xincheng is said to be a hotel, but in fact, someone took out the house and took out a few rooms to act as a hotel.
Although the hotel is a little smaller, but the boss is very enthusiastic, seeing Zhuang Yan they came so late and asked them if they had eaten, I heard that they had eaten at Mr. Wang's house, and chatted with them with a smile.
Yao Qian was already surprised, and he had already seen the enthusiasm of the Chadong people.
The price of the hotel is also cheaper than expected, only 50 yuan a night.
This hotel has a total of four rooms, even if it is full every day, it will be 6,000 yuan a month, and the 6,000 yuan will not be left a month after deducting a series of expenses such as water and electricity bills. And looking at it this way, it is impossible for these four rooms to be filled.
However, in the process of chatting with the boss, Zhuang Yan and the others learned that the hotel is actually the boss's sideline, and he usually goes to the middle school or primary school in the town to set up a stall at the door of the middle school or primary school to buy some snacks and broken mouths, which is also a revenue.
When it was time for spring planting and autumn harvest, he would also work in the fields, and if he really couldn't take care of it, he would ask an old man to come and help him look at the hotel.
After listening to the boss's affairs, Zhuang Yan and they can understand why so many people want to go to work in other places, although they have to be far away from home to work, but an adult man, if he is willing to be tired, he can earn seven or eight thousand yuan a month, some are better, and some are tens of thousands a month.
The room was basic, but it was clean and well kept by the owner.
After a tired day, Zhuang Yan and they fell asleep on the bed, this time Zhuang Yan dreamed, this time it was a real dream, a dream different from the previous dream.
In the dream, Zhuang Yan felt in a daze that he had become a big yellow dog again, with a garland on his head and two silver bracelets in his hands.
Cuicui, who was wearing a garland on her head, stood at the door of her house, looking at the river shyly, there was a small boat in the river, and she was wearing a big red flower on her chest, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at Cuicui here with a smile.
The old boatman did not take the ferry this time, but stood at the door, looking at his granddaughter and his future grandson-in-law, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
And Zhuang Yan, who was still wagging his tail around Cuicui, suddenly heard the sound of crackling firecrackers, which frightened a spirit, and almost fell from the shore into the water.
Zhuang Yan didn't fall into the water, but he was scared awake from the dream, he opened the curtains and looked outside, it was already dawn.
He patted his head and laughed at himself, "It's true, I dreamed that I became a dog." ”
Since he had gotten up, Zhuang Yan simply went to the bathroom to wash, and after washing, he went out of the hotel, and Yao Qian was already sitting in the living room.
The lobby of the hotel is actually the living room of the boss's house, Yao Qian sits in the living room, holding porridge and eating a kind of fried golden cake.
Seeing Zhuang Yan come out, the boss said with a smile: "This boss, what do you want to eat, there are porridge and scallion pancakes, if you are not used to eating scallion pancakes, there are also rice pancakes." ”
Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Boss, your business is not cost-effective, and you still have a double breakfast." ”
"What's the double morning, I also eat by myself, just make a little bit of it, how much can the two of you eat?" the boss smiled innocently.
Zhuang Yan was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then please trouble the boss to serve me a bowl of porridge, one for scallion pancakes and one for rice crackers." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
After breakfast, Zhuang Yan took Yao Qian to go to the river street to go around again, but as soon as they reached the intersection of the town, the two saw He Bing swaying back and forth at the intersection.
"Uncle He is here so early in the morning?" Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
Seeing Zhuang Yan and the two of them, He Bing's face was obviously overjoyed.
"It's nothing, it's good for your health to go out for a walk in the morning, where are you two going?" He Bing said.
"We were on our way to the other side of River Street. ”
He Bing was happy again, "That's right, I'll take you over, it's the first time you come to River Street, you don't know how to go on the road, I just have nothing to do, I'll be a tour guide for you." ”
Zhuang Yan actually wanted to say that he couldn't be more familiar with the road on the other side of River Street, and he didn't need a tour guide at all, but seeing He Bing so enthusiastic, he didn't say anything. And he came this time to learn about the local culture, and it is not a bad thing to communicate more with the locals.
"You see, the houses on this river street are very distinctive, half of them are on the river, and the stakes below are just to hold the houses and not let them fall. Why do you want to do this house, because the land area is not enough, you can only make a fuss on the river, and there are stilted buildings on it, and it is also because there is a big flood in the spring, so that the big guys can have a place to stay......"
Along the way, He Bing gushed about it, Zhuang Yan already knew these things, of course he wasn't very interested, but he just perfunctory He Bing. However, Yao Qian, who didn't know that there was such a place before, was very interested in this stilted building and River Street, so he listened to He Bing with relish.
However, He Bing kept observing Zhuang Yan's expression, wanting to arouse his interest.
The three of them walked across the stone bridge, about forty or fifty meters, He Bing pointed to one of the houses and said: "This is my family's house, which is relatively well preserved, because I still have the strength to renovate the house if I have nothing to do, so it looks much better." ”
Zhuang Yan looked at He Bing's house, it is indeed bigger than other houses, and it should be renewed, and it should be taken care of frequently.
The three of them got closer, and He Bing's dog should have heard the owner's voice, and suddenly jumped out of it, and when they saw Zhuang Yan, they barked again.
He Bing hurriedly drove away and shouted: "Dog, dog, you go home quickly, you dare to bite anyone." ”
Hearing this call, Zhuang Yan was startled, and hurriedly looked around, but did not find Cuicui, and then reacted.
He had three black lines on his head and asked He Bing: "Uncle He, you can't afford to name this dog?"
He Bing was stunned, he didn't notice that Zhuang Yan said "again", he said in a muffled voice: "What name does the dog want, only people have a name." ”
Zhuang Yan rolled his eyes, but still patiently told him: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, people can have names, and of course dogs can also have names, besides, there is no name for dogs in the world, who knows whose dog it is?"
He Bing touched his head and said, "I haven't named a dog, and I don't know how to call it, why don't you name one?"
Zhuang Yan originally wanted to refuse, after all, it always felt a little weird to name other people's dogs, but he thought of his tragic experience in the dream, and nodded again and said, "Okay, I'll give Uncle He's dog a name." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the black dog at the door again and said, "You will be called Wangcai in the future, but remember." ”
