Chapter 801: The Strong Shopkeeper and the Thin Little Er
The horse galloped out of five or six streets, a rather lofty three-story building appeared in front of the city, this house is not a square market, hanging in front of the building on a blue flag, written "Deyuan Inn" four big characters, but also with money embroidered with three stacked ingots.
The three of them stopped in front of the inn, and immediately a shopkeeper greeted them.
"Guest officer, you are a Han Chinese, come to our Deyuan Inn can be regarded as the right one! Those Hu people opened a shop is not only dirty, but there is also a large smell of mutton in the guest room, like a guest officer, you are such an exquisite official and noble, but you must not go!" This little two is only in his twenties, born thin and capable, like a leather monkey, but his eloquence is good, and he obviously has a set of rules for soliciting customers.
"Do you have a haode room in the store?" asked Li Hu.
Xiao Er said: "Of course there is, our store is the most haode inn in Human City! You probably don't know our Deyuan Inn for the first time, but you must have heard of 'Blum Xing', our store is under the name of 'Blum Xing'!"
Li Hu let out an "oh" and said, "Are you talking about Zhong Bailong's 'Blum Commercial House'?"
Xiao Er said: "Isn't it Boss Zhong's trading house, where is there a second 'Blum Bank' in this city!"
Li Hu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go in and have a look." ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "Please come in, live in our store, and you won't regret it!"
The two horses let Xiao Er take them to the backyard to feed, and the three of them walked into the gate of the Deyuan Inn.
The lobby of the inn is spacious, and although the decoration is not luxurious, it is very neat. A man in his thirties, five big and three thick, as strong as a bull, sat on a chair behind the counter, saw the three of them enter the door, and said, "Hey, if you want to stay in the hotel, come here!"
This big man has a ringed nose and eyes, no hair on his head, is dressed in a black silk horse coat, and is more than six feet tall when he sits on a chair. Li Hu can also be regarded as a strong person, but compared to this big man, the width and thickness of his body are not half of his. And he is not only tall and loud, but also has a big voice, and when he shouts a word, the entire hall is buzzing.
If it is said that the little two people outside the door before were sweet and good at soliciting customers, this big man is just the opposite, even if the guests enter the door, I am afraid that half of them will be scared away by his vicious appearance and loud voice.
Of course, Li Hu was not among the half, he came to the counter and asked, "You are the shopkeeper of this store?"
Dahan said: "Is it still fake, my name is Duan Wu, this Delong Inn is under my control! If you want to stay in the hotel, first read the various expenses and prices clearly, don't wait until the time to settle the bill!"
As he spoke, he held out his fingers, thicker than a rolling stick, and pointed to the side.
Following the direction pointed by this section of the five, Li Huguo saw a white piece of paper pasted on the wooden wall next to the counter, listing various prices:
"Upper suite, 100 taels a day, medium suite, 40 taels a day......"
It is in the high-end inn in Beijing City, the room is only ten taels or eight taels a day at most, and the ordinary suites of two or three two days are not cheap, but in this Deyuan Inn, the price is more than ten times higher, and it is the worst shop, and it is also impressively marked with ten taels of silver a night.
And it's not just the room money that is expensive, it's also sky-high to eat here, a table of ordinary wine and food is priced at two hundred silver taels, and even steamed buns are sold for one tael of silver.
At the bottom of the white paper, it is also written: This stack warehouse is rented, fifty taels per day, and the goods are handled at your own risk.
After reading this price list, Li Hu couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Your fees here are not low." ”
Duan Wu snorted and said, "Of course it's not low! What kind of place do you think of our Deyuan Inn, is it those garbage inns on the side of the road!"
Before Li Hu could answer, Zhu Huichan, who was standing on the side, had already said: "Isn't your Deyuan Inn amazing? In this girl's opinion, it is not much different from a garbage inn." ”
This princess Chitose did not tell a lie, she has lived in the palace since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the carved beams and paintings of Qionglou Yuyu, even if the furnishings and decoration in this inn are not bad, but where can it get into her eyes.
However, when these words reached Duan Wu's ears, he couldn't help but blush, and shouted: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!
Zhu Huichan had a stubborn temper, and she refused to show weakness, so she immediately pulled up Li Hu's sleeve and was about to go out, saying: "This broken inn is not only a bad place, but also so fierce, who wants to be cold! Bull Demon King, let's find another place to live!"
But at this moment, a figure jumped out from the side and stopped in front of Zhu Huichan, but it was the thin and capable shopkeeper who had just pulled everyone in outside the door.
"Girl, don't be angry, the shopkeeper can't speak, the villain will give you the sin first!" Xiao Erlian made a few gestures, and said: "Girl, you don't know, the inn opened by the Han people in this Hu Man City is the biggest and best of ours, like you, a big beauty who is shy of flowers and flowers in the moon, sinking fish and geese, if you want to live, you have to live in the most haode store, how can you go to the inn opened by the Hu people, right?"
The shopkeeper's mouth was as sweet as ever, and he turned his face to Duan Wu again: "Shopkeeper, people come to live in the hotel because they can afford us, you drive the guests out, what's the matter? Hurry up and accompany this girl!"
Duan Wudao: "But she said that our inn ......"
Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper glared at him and said in a low voice: "Shut up! If there are no more guests who lose their old money this month, you can explain to the master yourself!"
It stands to reason that Duan Wu was the shopkeeper and had no reason to be afraid of the shopkeeper, but when this bull-like man heard this, he really shut up immediately, and under the instruction of Xiao Er, he arched his hand towards Zhu Huichan, which was regarded as a confession.
Although Zhu Huichan has the temper of a princess, she is not a small person, seeing that people have both good words and sin, she snorted lightly at the moment, and she no longer pulled the tiger away.
Li Hu said: "If you want to say that the price here is indeed higher, I don't know if the inns in this Hu Man City are so expensive, or is it only you who are expensive?"
Duan Wu wanted to talk, but the shopkeeper pulled hard behind him, and said with a smile: "Let's tell the truth, the inn in Hu Man City is much more expensive than the outside, and our Deyuan Inn is indeed a little more expensive than them." However, the guest officer Mingjian, our little bit of expensiveness is not unreasonable. ”
Li Hu said: "Oh, but I don't know what the truth is?"
The shopkeeper said: "There are two major benefits to living in our inn. Don't worry, let the small ones come to you one by one, the first big benefit is that it is absolutely safe to live here, whether it is yourself or the goods you carry, as long as you enter our Deyuan Inn, even if you are insured, you don't have to worry about accidents. ”
Li Hu said: "Isn't there a rule of forbidden fighting in Hu Man City, does anyone dare to rob and hurt people in this city?"
Shopkeeper said: "The rules of prohibition are naturally there, but as long as you are not caught red-handed or identified, let alone robbing and injuring people, it is not uncommon to kill people." You must know that in this city, there are many rogues from all over the world, and they are all outlaws, who can abide by the rules? But as long as you live in our inn, you can be greatly assured, not to mention that no one dares to come here to make trouble, even if you really come, we can let him walk around without eating! Are you right, Fifth Brother Duan?"
Duan Wu said: "Of course! Who dares to come to the scene where I Duan Wu watched to make trouble, they are really impatient!"
Li Hu nodded and said, "This is also a benefit. ”
The shopkeeper said: "Isn't it, and there is a second advantage of living in our store, that is, the guests here, go to the shop to negotiate transactions, do business, and the commission paid is halved, and others will look up to you." ”
Li Hu said: "What do you mean by this?"
The shopkeeper said: "You also know that the proprietor of our Deyuan Inn is Zhong Bailong Zhong Da Boss, the largest Fang Market in this Hu Man City, is 'Bailong Xing' opened, Zhong Da Boss has explained, all the merchants who live in this store, go to Zhong Jiafang Market to do business, and only half of the commission is collected. The guests who can stay in our inn are all dignitaries, and with the care of Boss Zhong, others naturally have to take a high look!"
Li Hu said: "I see. It's just that Uncle Ben came to Hu Man City this time, and he has no intention of doing business, so this benefit doesn't matter. ”
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you just don't do ordinary business, since you came to Hu Man City, it's a pity to go back empty-handed! You must know that there are a lot of goods in the Fang Market here, but they are not available elsewhere." ”
He leaned in front of Li Hu, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "For example, a beautiful woman from the Western Regions, with blonde hair and blue eyes, her skin is as white as snow, and the small one can introduce you to the seller, and it won't cost much silver taels ......to take her home."
Although the shopkeeper lowered his voice when he said this, Zhu Huichan was next to Li Hu's voice, and he could hear it clearly, and his pretty face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Bull Demon King, if you dare to do such a thing that violates the king's law, this father ...... This girl will not spare you!"
She stared at the shopkeeper with big eyes again, and said, "You guy is flamboyant, and you are not a good person, if you dare to say these bad things, we won't live in your shop!"
Xiao Er was very obedient, and hurriedly laughed and said: "The girl forgives her sins, the little one knows her mistakes! The little one forgot that there is such a beautiful girl as a girl next to this master, so there is no need to buy any more women from the Western Regions, it is a small event, it is a small event!"
The shopkeeper's words clearly regarded Zhu Huichan as Lihu's lover, this princess Chitose was originally raised eyebrows and angry, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel dizzy in her cheeks, and her pretty face turned red with shame.
Li Hu didn't seem to care, took out a silver ticket from his arms, slapped it on the table with a "bang", and said, "Okay, let's live here, the shopkeeper, open the three most haode rooms!"
Before the shopkeeper Duan Wu had time to speak, the shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket and saw that it was a big bill of five hundred taels, and immediately smiled, and said: "This master is really bold, the upper room of the Tianzi number is still empty, and the small one will take the three upstairs!"
