Chapter 147: Don't be cranky
Approaching noon, the old village inn, which was originally full of tourists, also ushered in the first wave of dining peaks. Compared with eating a farmhouse banquet at a villager's house, tourists who learned that the old village hostel has a restaurant also plan to come to the hostel to sit here.
Looking at the tourists who walked into the canteen one after another, Father Xu, who was in charge of the reception, was also a little happy. Earlier, the canteen had prepared so many dishes, and he was worried that he would not be able to sell them. But now, he is worried that he will not have enough ingredients to prepare.
For this relatively formal old village canteen, many tourists were worried that the food would be more expensive. To their surprise, the price of food in the canteen was very modest. In contrast, a la carte alone is a bit more expensive.
Knowing that this is the first day of opening of the old village canteen, the price has been given a certain discount, and many tourists also feel that they can bargain, and the enthusiasm for consumption is undoubtedly higher. However, the number of tourists dining at the villagers' homes has undoubtedly decreased.
Fortunately, today, the villagers are not worried about the lack of tourists, but feel that their rooms are not enough. As long as the villagers have extra rooms, they don't have to worry about not having tourists. In this case, some villagers feel that the price should be increased appropriately.
It's just that thinking of what Xu Haibao and Xu Mingcheng said at the villagers' meeting earlier, many villagers didn't dare to raise the price privately. Once tourists are allowed to report it, it is estimated that Xu Haibao may really cancel their right to receive tourists.
Perhaps this approach is a bit overbearing, but it shows fairness and equal treatment. The decoration situation of each household may be different, but Xu Haibao feels that if he wants to raise the price, he must greet the village committee in advance and inform him in advance on the bulletin board.
Privately asking for a high price from the tourists he receives is something Xu Haibao cannot tolerate. However, for these villagers who want to raise prices, they are worried that after the price increase, tourists may not choose to stay in their homes.
After all, the B&B in the village didn't have as many tourists as there are today!
Xu Haibao, who was diving at Xingyue Reef, looked at Lin Mengchu, who was obviously stronger than Liu Xiaohan in diving ability, and felt a little surprised. In his opinion, this girl with a good posture and temperament doesn't seem to be good at sports.
But now it seems that Lin Mengchu has obviously received professional training. Its performance in the sea is obviously much more professional than that of Liu Xiaohan before. It's just that the frequency of surfacing for ventilation is somewhat higher than that of Liu Xiaohan.
The reason is also very simple, Xu Haibao, a 'humanoid oxygen supply machine', still does not dare to supply oxygen at will. More time, he acts as Lin Mengchu's security officer, beware of Lin Mengchu's discomfort, and send her to the surface in time.
Fortunately, this situation did not appear, and Lin Mengchu, who accompanied Lin Mengchu to wander around the coral reef a few times, and Lin Mengchu, who felt a little out of breath, finally shook his head and said: "Brother Haibao, thank you! That's all for today! My physical strength can't hold on!"
"Okay! I didn't expect you to be quite professional in diving!"
"Yes! I'm a complete beginner compared to you. When I was in junior high school, I learned to swim in the city for a while. Actually, I actually snorkeled in the sea, and this was the first time. Without you by my side, I really wouldn't dare to dive alone!"
Knowing that Lin Mengchu's physical exertion was very high, when rowing towards the motorboat, Xu Haibao was also a gentleman who stretched out a hand to drag the other party forward. In this process, Lin Mengchu didn't seem too resistant, and didn't seem to rule out physical contact with Xu Haibao.
was introduced to Xu Haibao by Xu Qingya as if jokingly earlier, and Lin Mengchu felt that Xu Haibao was not suitable for him. In addition, the gap between the two families' backgrounds is too large. But now, it seems, she seems to be a little blind.
For many confident girls, they don't feel like they're going to look away. But in Xu Haibao, this veteran who has just been discharged from the army seems to have broken their cognition. The speed of its rise is a bit amazing!
In addition, Lin Mengchu, who has been regarded as a representative of eugenics since childhood, is confident that she is a combination of beauty and wisdom. But when she contacted Xu Haibao earlier, she didn't notice that Xu Haibao had revealed a good impression or pursuit.
Now that he suddenly learned that Xu Haibao had found a girlfriend, Lin Mengchu couldn't help but compare himself with Liu Xiaohan. She felt that the other party's conditions were not better than hers. But why, Xu Haibao chose Liu Xiaohan as his girlfriend?
Regarding Lin Mengchu's slightly complicated mood at the moment, Xu Haibao had no intention of paying attention. For him, it is true that Lin Mengchu is a good girl. But the problem is that since he has accepted Liu Xiaohan, he is not good at provoking other girls.
Riding a motorboat to bring Lin Mengchu back to the yacht, looking at Liu Xiaohan's slightly inquiring eyes, Xu Haibao also smiled calmly: "It's almost time, it's time for us to go back for lunch." Go to Shrimp Island and pick them up!"
Earlier, when everyone came to dive, the students who didn't dare to try diving, as well as Liu Chenglin's family, were sent to Shrimp Island. Although Prawn Island also provides some food, if you really want to eat your stomach, you still need to go back to Fulin Island.
Of course, Xu Haibao and his party don't have to be so troublesome. Before returning to Washan Island, he called the left-behind people in advance. When they got off the boat, the staff staying on Washan Island had already prepared lunch.
After getting off the boat, many girls chose to go back to their accommodation to take a shower. Back at the place where he lived, Liu Xiaohan said a little cautiously: "Brother Haibao, what do you think of that girl? I think she is quite beautiful!"
Listening to Liu Xiaohan's words, Xu Haibao touched the other party's hair with a smile and said, "You are also very good! Why are you suddenly so unconfident? In my eyes, you are the best! Don't think nonsense, go take a bath!"
"People have cranky thoughts!"
"Don't admit it yet, don't worry, I know it. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Hmph, who knows! When you took her on a dive before, you dare say you didn't hug her?"
"I dare say I didn't hug her. In fact, she dives at a decent level. It's better to be professional than someone. ”
"Hmph, I'm going to take a shower, do you want to be together?"
Before rushing into the bathroom, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but tease Xu Haibao. In fact, as soon as she entered the bathroom, she locked the door. If you really want to put Xu Haibao in, it is estimated that when they come out after they are done, the food will be cold.
In terms of protracted battles, Xu Haibao is still very strong!
For Xu Haibao, although he took two girls to dive. But this kind of exercise is not even a warm-up. As for taking a shower, Xu Haibao still omitted it. Let's go to the cafeteria and see how lunch is prepared today.
Considering that Liu Yuemeng took the initiative to mention that she wanted to eat big fish, Xu Haibao still asked the chef to specially steam two wild large groupers. So much so that when the meal was opened, the ladies who tasted such a superb delicacy for the first time also knew what chopsticks could not stop.
After lunch, Xu Haibao took everyone to Fulin Island again. Previously, his parents confessed that he would take his sister and Liu Xiaohan back home. For the two daughters, now that they are back, they will inevitably have to meet their parents.
What's more, Liu Xiaohan's parents also said earlier that they would come over in the afternoon and stay on the island for another night. As for the couple's accommodation, Xu Haibao still deliberately left them a big bed room at the old village hostel.
Seeing that it was close to two o'clock, there were still many tourists dining in the canteen, Xu Haibao was also very surprised: "Dad, why are there still tourists dining?"
"Some of them were guests who had just disembarked, and some of them had just come back from Shrimp Island. Fortunately, the ingredients prepared in the morning were sufficient, otherwise there might be a shortage of supplies today. The rice alone was steamed twice!"
Although the hostel has been renovated, Xu's father feels that the condition of the hostel is very good, and there should be tourists to patronize it. But he was still a little surprised to see that the canteen business was so prosperous. But in my heart, I still feel a little happy.
In his opinion, this is a hostel that his son invested a lot of money to build. If you can't make money, it will take a long time to earn back the money to repair the house. Now it seems that his worries are a little unnecessary.
Although the specific meal expenses have not yet been settled, Xu's father feels that today's catering expenses should be as much as 100,000 yuan. Throw out the cost of labor and ingredients, even if it is the income after the discount, their canteen can also make a lot of money.
Coupled with the accommodation fee of the hostel, the income from this day is estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan. If there are a few more such tourist peaks, maybe it won't take a year, and the money Xu Haibao invested will be able to earn back with interest.
And Xu Qingya, who was chatting with Xu's mother at this moment, suddenly found that her status in the family had dropped from first to second. With Liu Xiaohan in her presence, she is easily ignored by her mother. This feeling made her feel a little tasteful.
"Mom, people came to see you, why did you entertain Xiaohan and not feel sorry for your daughter!"
"You dead girl, you're still jealous with Xiaohan! Xiaohan, wait a call and ask your parents to see when they arrive. When the time comes, I'll let that kid from Haibao pick it up, and we'll get together in the evening. ”
"Okay, then I'll ask later!"
Knowing that Mother Xu's eyes were different from before, Liu Xiaohan was both happy and shy. It's just that it's rare for her parents to come over, and Liu Xiaohan also wants her parents to see with their own eyes how prosperous the boyfriend she is looking for is.
With the support of her parents, Liu Xiaohan believes that her relationship with Xu Haibao will always be strong. But when she thought of her parents coming over and learning that she and Xu Haibao had lived together, she was also worried that her parents might be angry.
But it has come to this, and it is impossible to hide the estimate. For Liu Xiaohan, as long as Xu Haibao is by her side, she is reluctant to be separated for too long. As for her parents' preach, she felt it would be okay for them to say a few words.
Anyway, from the moment she made the decision, she identified Xu Haibao. As long as Xu Haibao does not abandon or betray, she will also protect this love from the beginning. And at this moment, she still feels very happy when she asks herself.
It's just that to Xu Haibao's surprise, not long after receiving Liu Xiaohan's parents, two unexpected visitors made Xu Haibao have to return to Washan Island. Because of these two people, Xu Haibao had to entertain them personally.
Even Xu Haibao felt that the two of them didn't come directly to Washan Island, and they knew how to avoid suspicion if they wanted to come. If you really want to appear on Fulin Island, it will take a lot of time to explain it to your parents!
