1258 check-in
The long convoy did not enter the inn.
Outside the inn, the child who was holding the usual money saw the shopkeeper closing the courtyard door diligently, stomped his feet fiercely outside, turned around and ran quickly towards the alley on the side.
After a while, when he came back, the hanging of money in his hand was gone, and there was a big dry cake in his small mouth.
The name of the inn where Xiao Han stayed was Pingshun, although it sounded a little strange, but if people who often walked by water saw it, they would naturally know that this was the most common name in the water transport inn.
But whoever walks by water, who doesn't want the wind to be calm and smooth sailing?
Pingshun Inn is very large, there is a large courtyard in front and a small courtyard in the back, it seems that not to mention Xiao Han's hundred or ten people, it is estimated that there will be another hundred or ten people, and they will also settle down.
Like such a big inn, in the early years, when Runzhou was still prosperous, in addition to it, there were many more.
However, in recent years, water transportation has become more and more sluggish, and the operating cost of this kind of large inn is high, and most inns can no longer operate without so many merchants staying in the case.
They are either vacant, or change careers, and in the end, there are only a few big inns left in Runzhou City, and this Pingshun Inn is also the largest of them.
Xiao Han's status is noble, and there are a lot of people accompanying him this time, so Wang Wu got orders early and chartered the entire inn with the shopkeeper.
In this New Year, there are very few pedestrians and merchants, and the inn 9 is also the most deserted time of the year!
The innkeeper, who was sitting behind the counter and almost moldy, heard that someone was going to charter the inn at first glance, and he was so happy that his beard was about to fly to the sky!
After politely sending Wang Wu out of the inn, he immediately turned around and ran to apologize to a few guests living in the inn, apologize, and refund the money for the room.
After waiting for a few guests who had finally negotiated to arrange to stay at another house, they hurriedly instructed the guys to clean up the inn and be sure to take care of this big deal.
Therefore, although Wang Wuonly came and went for a short time, the inn had been cleaned up by those little two handymen, at least the place that could be seen was clean!
In the inn, the shopkeeper who was anxiously walking around in the lobby waited for the convoy to enter the hospital, and he accurately recognized Xiao Han as the person in charge of this team at a glance! Quickly squeezed a smile on his face and greeted him from the house.
However, before he could come to Xiao Han's approach, several big men had already reached out to stop him outside, and the shopkeeper could only arch his hand to Xiao Han outside in embarrassment, and said loudly:
"Ah, what a discerning guest! The shop is the best inn in town! Whether it's a house or food, it's the best in town! Whether the guest wants to wash and bathe, or listen to singing, the shop can arrange for the guest, even if you have a headache and brain fever here, we have Mr. Lang Zhong can diagnose and treat ......"
"Hey! You shopkeeper can't speak! For the New Year, who has a headache and brain fever? ”
The shopkeeper hadn't finished speaking, but a loud shout rang out from behind Xiao Han, interrupting his words.
Sticking closely, the shopkeeper saw that the man who came to look for him at the beginning was coming from behind angrily, with a pair of big eyes, glaring at him viciously.
It turned out that Wang Wu was just over there and ordered the shopkeeper to take the horses to the backyard to wash and feed, and suddenly heard the shopkeeper's enthusiastic words, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't take care of the horses, so he squeezed to the front and scolded the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw Wang Wu's angry appearance, he was stunned at first, and then he also realized that what he had just said was inappropriate.
In the past, it was no problem for him to introduce his inn like this.
But now it's the Chinese New Year, and the other party seems to be a rich family, and before I know it, I've committed other people's taboos.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper was also shocked to sweat, for fear that this big customer who came with great difficulty would run away again! Hurriedly patted his mouth, and then he bowed his hand to Xiao Han and them again and again: "Oh, look at this broken mouth, it's okay on weekdays, you have a lot of adults, but don't be surprised!" ”
Xiao Han thought about not paying attention to these subsections, if it weren't for Wang Wu's suggestion of the shopkeeper's language, he would still be amazed by the variety of projects in this inn just now, so at this time, seeing the shopkeeper's repeated apologies, he generously waved his hand and said, "Hey, forget it!" The shopkeeper, we have chartered this inn, take down all your people, just leave a few people to clean up, and we can do the rest ourselves. ”
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper was already relieved when he heard Xiao Han say it, but after listening to his words again, he was stunned again, and even forgot to put down his arched hand, and his eyes glared at Xiao Han and asked, "The cook, the second ......."
Xiao Han walked towards the inn and said casually: "No need, we'll do it ourselves!" But don't worry, the money won't be underpaid to you! Purple! ”
With a sound of purple clothes, the beautiful woman who followed behind had already understood, so that the person took a few times of money and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was still a little confused at this time, but when he saw the money, he subconsciously reached out and took it.
This action is already an instinctive reaction after decades of shopkeeper career!
Don't say that your head is confused, even if you are unconscious, it is estimated that you can accurately take the money.
"Huh? What are you still doing? Hurry up and do what! ”
Wang Wu, who was quite dissatisfied because the shopkeeper said the wrong thing, saw that he took the money, but he was still there, and he snorted in displeasure.
At this moment, the shopkeeper finally came to his senses, hurriedly held the money, quickly returned to the counter, put the money first, and then lifted the pen, and said with a smile: "Okay, since the guest has chartered the inn, it will naturally be arranged by the guest!" In this way, the guest registers according to the requirements of the government, and the other things will not bother the guest. ”
Sui and Tang dynasties and even descendants, staying in the inn must be registered, this rule has not changed for thousands of years, Xiao Han and they naturally know it.
Therefore, before leaving, he had already asked people to prepare the "passing place", which was the later road guide, and as for the identity above, he also changed it to a grain merchant.
"Grain merchant? The customer has done a lot of business! ”
The shopkeeper is flying on the paper, and he can still find time to chat a few words, it seems that this kung fu is indeed a bit solid.
"Well, now that the grain in the north is expensive, and the grain in the south is cheap, our son-in-law is going to sell a batch of grain to the north.
Hearing this, Ziyi came to the counter with a smile, and chatted with the shopkeeper intentionally or unintentionally.
(Note, during the Tang Dynasty, the inn was not actually called an inn, but was generally called an inn, an inn, a mansion, and a post house.) Or if you are a little more cultured, it will become a "reverse journey", how about it? Does that sound familiar?
The poet immortal Taibai once had a text, the man of heaven and earth, and the reverse journey of all things!
The reverse journey inside is the guest house. As for why you don't use the inn, because the inn represented the livestock shed at that time, and if you don't go to the inn, you are talking about the livestock, and if you call a hotel an inn, isn't it scolding the guests for being livestock?
But here Coke, in order to remember and write, it will be named in the way of the afterlife, so you are not surprised. )
