Chapter 17: Outwitting the Landlord
"Well, it's twice as expensive as a third-class room. Okay, I've decided to stay in room 406. Let's go, hostess, go down to go through the formalities, I haven't eaten. Chen Chumo didn't give the proprietress a chance to speak again, and before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and went downstairs out of the room.
Downstairs, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was sitting at the front desk playing with the computer. Wearing a yellow shirt and a ponytail, she is somewhat similar to the proprietress and is well-behaved and beautiful. Seeing Chen Chumo coming down, he glanced at it. Then he turned his head and continued to play with the computer, but was visibly flustered. Chen Chumo lowered his head to the duffel bag to withdraw the money, and could feel the little girl peeking at him.
Alas, handsome is different. From 8 months to 80 years old, Chen Chumo has the confidence to fascinate them.
"Little sister, why don't you go to school?" Chen Chumo asked.
Shameless, don't look at Chen Chumo's appearance of more than 20, his real age is only 15 years old. There are not many adult girls, but they pretend to be old garlic and tease little girls.
"Today and Sunday, there are no classes at school." The little girl replied shyly.
"Oh, yes. I thought your mother wouldn't go to school for you, but your mother looks very fierce. I have a cousin who is in the first middle school and is now in the second grade, named Chen Chumo. You just turned around this semester, do you know? Chen Chumo began to make things up. Every county has a school called No. 1 Middle School, which seems to be true.
"Yes, what a coincidence, I'm also in the second year of junior high school. But I don't know your cousin, I'm among the people. The little girl seemed to be very willing to talk to Chen Chumo, and actually used "good coincidence". Well, there's a play, I'll see your performance later, give me a little girl, you can do it, I'm optimistic about you.
With a "click" sound, Chen Chumo threw 20,000 yuan on the table at the front desk, which scared the little girl.
"Register me, I want room 406." Chen Chumo heard the sound of the proprietress going downstairs, and no longer approached the little girl.
"I'll come, I'll go through the formalities. Little Jasmine, go, go to the room and brush up on your homework. "The proprietress arrived before she arrived.
You Chen Chumo is so handsome that you have to get rid of the scum, what if you kidnap my daughter away. My daughter is a baby, a key middle school, excellent in character and learning. I still expect her to glorify our ancestors, so you'd better stay away from her.
"The homework has been done early, and the homework has just been reviewed. Mom, don't worry, I'll help you take a look at the store, you've worked hard for a long time. The little girl had no intention of leaving.
The proprietress was also helpless, she was very fond of little Jasmine, and she was reluctant to force her to do something she didn't like. As for little Jasmine, she is also very measured in doing things and has won the trust of her parents. Therefore, seeing that little Jasmine was reluctant to leave, the proprietress stopped urging.
"It doesn't take that much, the deposit and rent together with 100 yuan are enough." The proprietress said.
"No, I decided to stay in H County for a few more days. Hostess, do you see any discounts on accommodation? Chen Chumo said.
"How long? It's short, but no. The proprietress glanced at the two bundles of bills on the table and said. If you have money, you still have to find a way to let him live in a high-priced house.
"Three days. Four days. Five days. Not yet, then six days. Six days is a long time, okay, okay, a week, if it doesn't work, I'll leave. Chen Chumo began to bargain with the proprietress.
"I can say it, we never discount the third-class room, depending on how long you live, I'll give you a discount." The original price for seven days is 210, and I count you for six days, 180. The proprietress said.
"Well, it's only 30 less. Didn't you say a 20% discount? Chen Chumo asked.
"It's second class and first class, and there is no such discount for third class. Otherwise, you consider the next class and the second class, and you are not short of money anyway. "The proprietress is a thief.
"Forget it, that's too expensive. I'm used to frugality, so it's still a third-class room. Chen Chumo is determined.
"It's not expensive, that's good. Second-class room, I will charge you 330 yuan for seven days, what do you think. Chen Chumo didn't ask about the first-class house price, he must have been unwilling to live too expensive, so the proprietress quoted the price of a second-class room again.
"Thank you hostess, but I'm really used to saving. If I am willing to live in a second-class room, then I am willing to live in a first-class room. I'm not short of that money, the key is that I can't pass the level in my heart. No matter how big I grown, I didn't learn anything, I learned the four words of diligence and thrift... Forget it, I still can't live when I think about it. I was going to stay for one day, but now I'm going to stay for seven days. Chen Chumo said that he was about to take the money from the table and stuff it into his bag.
"Don't, why don't you live after talking for a long time. spread the word, and people thought that my store was a big bully. Pretty boy, look at your honest duty. Today, eldest sister, I will make an exception and let you quote a price by yourself. First-class room, second-class room, as long as you quote a price that is not too outrageous, I will give you a place to live, you see that this is all over. "Killer, absolutely killer. The proprietress has encountered many difficult guests over the years, and once she came up with a trick, she tried and tested it repeatedly.
"I don't want to. I have a very strict family education and never take advantage of others. Chen Chumo took retreat as advance. Four or two thousand pounds, dodging the boss's secret move.
This kid doesn't get in, when did the proprietress encounter such a difficult role, and she was a little annoyed.
"My last sincerity, I hope you will come to H County in the future to help me Tongfu Hotel. One price, 40 yuan for a second-class room! Come on, go through the formalities, pretty boy. "The hostess was very confident in her offer.
"It's all said, if you want to live in a second-class room, I might as well live in a first-class room, it's not about money at all." Chen Chumo threw the money into his luggage bag, pulled the zipper, and muttered in a low voice.
"Mom, give him a first-class room. Anyway, it's off-season, and there aren't many guests. 60 yuan for him a room, we don't lose anything, we just make less money. If he comes to live more in the future, won't we be able to earn it back? The little girl saw that Chen Chumo was leaving, where was she willing to go, so she quickly whispered to the proprietress to intercede.
"All right, lad. 60 for you a superior room, this is a low price we have never had. This kind of room can cost three or four hundred yuan in a three- or four-star hotel. You can tell the other residents, or I won't be able to do this business. 420 plus deposit, a total of 700 yuan, more and less when checking out. The proprietress finally compromised, and she couldn't let the cooked duck fly.
"Okay. Then let's stay, don't say more. Hostess, that's good. I look at you here and sell some snacks and drinks, and I'll definitely buy some during this time. I'm afraid of trouble, and I don't want to go back and forth to find money every time I buy something. I'll put 10,000 yuan here for you, and you can just keep the account of what you take from the snacks here. When the time comes, check out and settle the bill together. In addition, I don't take advantage of you, 70 yuan a night, give you an extra 10 yuan. Don't say no, or I won't be able to do it, and I won't be able to do unkind things. Chen Chumo said.
Shameless, you're still kind. Use your male color to confuse other little girls to help you speak. The original price of 120 was killed to 60. If you are kind, then the world will not be chaotic? In the end, pretend to give someone else a rise to 70 yuan. People still have to accept your generous affection, Chen Chumo is really black-bellied.
"Happy, eldest sister, I appreciate people like you, don't bargain and raise the price. Then let's get our ID cards and register. "The proprietress was calculated, since I don't know.
"I'm sorry, hostess, my ID card was taken by my cousin by mistake. Now my cousin is back in Hunan Province to go through the transfer procedures, and he can't send it to me. Do you see me registering with his ID card? Chen Chumo said.
"His cousin, who just transferred to our H County this semester to go to school, is in No. 1 Middle School." The little girl said to the proprietress, who frowned slightly, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Jasmine getting too close to Chen Chumo.
"Okay, 10,000 pieces are pressed here. The police station is right next to you, so you don't look like a restless person. Bring your ID card, it doesn't matter who it is, you can register it. "The proprietress Ke Bawang finished the matter quickly and let Chen Chumo leave. The little girl's arms began to turn outward, and she couldn't help but guard against it.
In the next few days, Chen Chumo sat on three jumpers during the day, and walked around the county. Stayed in the room at night and surfed the internet.
These days, Chen Chumo found that there were a lot of things that he didn't understand.
Sometimes even a very ordinary common sense is unaware of what to do, and it is very frustrating. Fortunately, Chen Chumo is a clever person, and he also loves to compete with himself, so if he doesn't understand, he will take his crazy 4 and ask Du Niang. Once passed, the harvest is not small.
However, after so many days. He found himself good for nothing in this county town. No diploma, no education, no production skills, let alone business. In the prosperous era of China, he, a Taoist priest who came down from the mountain, was too difficult to survive. In addition to working as a coolie, it would be impossible to find a good job. Chen Chumo once wanted to find a school to go to. It seems a bit late to go to school at this age.
Since I can't find a good job, I can't go to school. After thinking about it again and again, Chen Chumo decided to combine his own advantages to create a career.
Nothing else, but there are at least two things that Chen Chumo has an absolute advantage.
One is his own kung fu. But there are no big tyrants in this small county, so they don't invite bodyguards. wants to open a martial arts gym, in this era of peace, everyone is busy making money. No one spends money and time to do such a thankless thing.
The second is his own mastery of the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine. Following the old Taoist priest for many years, Chen Chumo can say the names and curative effects of tens of thousands of medicines, and is familiar with the efficacy of various medicinal materials. The white-bearded old Taoist master is known as the holy hand of the Xinglin, and Chen Chumo is confident that he can be called the little fairy of the Xinglin.
In today's society, people live and work in peace and contentment, and all walks of life are booming. However, social competition is also extremely fierce. The work intensity of the people is high, the mental pressure is very high, and the work of the vast majority of the work is depleted. People should drink anti-fatigue drinks at work, and they should talk about health preservation and replenishment after work.
Therefore, Chen Chumo decided to configure a pair of anti-fatigue, soothing meridians and activating the meridians, and refreshing and nourishing the body. Make this medicine into a very good-tasting drink, which is convenient for the public to accept and open up the market.
Through the Internet search, it is very difficult to make such a product. Not to mention the efficacy, just the stability of the taste and the quality of the drink require repeated blending experiments on the formula ratio to get results, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. If you add the medicinal effect, then I don't know if you can interview this product in the Year of the Monkey.
