It was only then that the shopkeeper slowly raised his head, his triangular eyes shining brightly. He quickly glanced at Zhu Yan and the others, and a smile finally appeared on his wrinkled face.
He took two thousand taels of silver notes, reached out and took out a copper bell on the right side of the counter. He gently rang the bell, and soon a neatly dressed young man ran over.
The old man said: "Take them to Qianliangfang, two rooms."
The young man hurriedly responded and led the way very respectfully: "Dear guests, Qianliangfang is on the fourth and fifth floors. Please come with me, please."
The young man walked in front and introduced himself as he went up the stairs: "My name is San'er. If you need anything while you are staying here, you can tell me and I will make a special trip to serve you."
Serve? Xia Yuanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly. She remembered that in this era, there was no word service. Zhu Yan, for example, had no idea what service meant.
She couldn't help but look at the waiter a few more times, and asked aloud: "Brother San'er, why is this place so much more expensive than other inns? What is the difference between it and other inns?"
San'er's eyebrows curved, and he grinned with a row of neat white teeth: "There are many similar places. You will soon know that although our inn is expensive, there are many repeat guests. Only those who have never stayed there before People who have lived there don’t know the benefits of our inn.”
Zhu Yan said: "It's so mysterious and alluring. If the door is opened, there will be a bed, four chairs, a table and a cabinet, which is no different from others. Then we will lose a lot of money for the thousand taels and one night." ”
San'er smiled and said, "It's useless what I say. Once you see it with your own eyes, you will naturally understand why our home is so expensive."
From San'er's point of view, their inn is indeed expensive, and it's reasonable and reasonable.
Xia Yuanqiu supported Gu Sanmei, barely letting her exert any strength. Even though she reached the fifth floor, it didn't take much effort on her part, and she looked good.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Didn't you just say the fourth and fifth floors? Why did you take us directly to the fifth floor? Not the fourth floor?"
San'er smiled and said: "The fourth floor is already full, and there are only a few rooms left on the fifth floor. You guys are lucky enough to come here. If it gets later, I'm afraid there won't be any rooms left."
Xia Yuanqiu said in surprise: "Already full? But we see that the place upstairs and downstairs is very deserted, not even a single customer."
"They are all in the room. It is dinner time now, and they are all eating."
Yeah? Xia Yuanqiu was more skeptical. This was not a high-end hotel in the 21st century. The guest rooms were fully equipped with entertainment, food and drink. It was normal for guests not to go out after checking in. But in ancient inns, in addition to sleeping, eating and other things had to be done in the guest rooms. Even if Some people like to eat in hiding in their rooms, but most people still like to eat in a hall full of friends, which is lively and delicious.
"This is it. The two rooms are facing each other. It's convenient for you, okay?" San'er asked with a smile.
Xia Yuanqiu looked at the door and couldn't see anything special about it. There was no difference at all from the inn that cost five coins a night.
They all felt cheated!
San'er said again: "This is the key, please keep it!" San'er handed the two keys to Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan didn't waste much time talking, just took a handful and opened the door next to him. When the door opened, a stream of cool air hit his face. It was cool and had a fruity scent. He wasn't thirsty at all, but smelling the fruity scent, I also feel thirsty.
