Chapter 0503 The mysterious man who came in the middle of the night
A small town is built on this highway. The highest and most luxurious one should be the rows of two-story buildings on the side of the highway. The rest of the houses are all low tile houses at a glance. It can be seen that this place is not rich.
When Xia Jian was about to say hello to a driver, he turned around and disappeared. So Xia Jian walked into the town, and Longshan Town was written in old characters on a newly built archway.
Since writing about dragons must have a lot to do with the legend of dragons, but at this time Xia Jian was in the mood to study these things. Looking at a small restaurant on the side of the road, Xia Jian walked in and took the car for seven or eight hours, and he was indeed hungry.
An old man in his fifties was sitting on the bench in the store and dozing. When he saw Xia Jian, he asked coldly: "Would you like to eat?"
"Well! What food do you have?" Xia Jian said, and sat down.
When the old man heard that Xia Jian was going to have a meal, he smiled and said, "Cooked noodles, braised noodles, cut noodles, and stir-fried dishes." The old man said, pointing to the wall with his finger.
Only then did Xia Jian realize that there was a piece of red paper on the wall with various names of dishes written on it. Maybe it had been pasted for too long and was fumigated by Yan Yixun. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
"Let's just put on fried noodles! I'll give you more money if you have a larger amount," Xia Jian said with a smile. He has to be low-key and he still understands this principle.
A thermos was placed in the restaurant. Xia Jian opened the lid and saw that there was some water inside. He found a clean bowl, poured some water and drank it first. This is incomparable to the countryside and in the city.
Just as Xia Jian was drinking water and thinking about where to stay at night, a woman in her forties walked in. The woman was tall and fatter, but she looked pretty good.
"Come from another place?" The woman looked at Xia Jian and asked softly.
Xia Jian nodded and said, "Yes."
At this time, the old man's noodles had already been fried. He brought them out. When he saw the woman, he smiled and said, "He has a fat sister, his nose is so long. As soon as he sat down, you rushed over."
"You old man, can you speak? Everyone needs to do this business. You run a restaurant, I run a hotel, and this bridge returns to the bridge and road, and there is no conflict between each other. Why are you so stingy?"
The fat woman glanced at the old man, twisted her butt and sat on the stool beside Xia Jian. The old man put the fried noodles in front of Xia Jian and said, "Try it, just say anything less."
Xia Jian nodded and started eating. The old man also sat down on the stool beside him. He breathed a long sigh and said, "This business cannot be done. There was such a customer in the whole day today."
"I'm not the same yet." The fat woman curled her mouth and looked disapproving.
While eating fried noodles, Xia Jian was listening to the conversation between the two. He thought to himself, if there is no industry to attract foreigners in such a small town, who will come here for what?
I don’t know if it’s because of my hunger or the old man’s skills are really good. Xia Jian didn’t know how to eat all the fried noodles.
"Boss, how much does it cost?" Xia Jian stood up and asked softly.
The old man smiled and said, "One plate is seven yuan, your plate is added, so just give eight yuan."
Xia Jian took out ten yuan very readily and put it on the table, whispering: "No need to find it, your meal is good. If you are in the city, it will cost at least ten yuan." After that, he got up and left.
"Hey! Don't leave now, I'll wait for you here. Do you want to stay in a hotel tonight?" The fat woman chased after her and shouted loudly at Xia Jian. When Xia Jian heard this, she couldn't help but stop. It's past five o'clock now, so he has to stay first before talking.
As soon as he turned around, Xia Jian had already thought about it. He smiled at the fat woman and said, "I want to stay, but I left urgently today and forgot to bring my ID card."
"Hi! What's this? Our countryside is different from the city. Did you come from the city?" the fat woman asked with a smile on her face.
Xia Jian nodded without saying a word. The fat woman looked him over and said, "It's so white. You can tell at first that you are not a rural person. You can spend 20 yuan a night and three beds. If you want to live in a single room, you will have to pay 50 yuan."
Xia Jian still didn't say anything, just nodded. As the saying goes, he is very careful now, and life has taught him a profound lesson yesterday.
This small hotel is actually the house built by the fat woman's house. It has a two-story building facing the street, and a yard is built behind it. There are several small bungalows in the yard. Xia Jian asked for a single room, so the fat woman arranged him on the second floor.
The house was very clean, but it was too simple. It had a single bed, a small wooden table, and a chair. Apart from that, there was really nothing. Xia Jian was about to ask the fat woman where the toilet was, but she knocked on the door and walked in.
"This is a thermos, the boiled water I just boiled. This can wash my face and feet. Anyway, you can do it yourself. The toilet is next to the east wall of the yard, and it is a public toilet. It is not as good as your city. You just use it." The fat woman said, putting a thermos and a plastic basin on the ground.
These things are exactly what Xia Jian wants. Since he has brought them, he doesn't have to talk more.
"Hey! You are a handsome man, you can be said to be a handsome man, why don't you like to talk?" The fat woman smiled at Xia Yi and said anxiously. It can be seen that this person is also impatient.
Xia Jian smiled and said, "Thank you! If you have time, you can sit down and let's talk a few times. Maybe I will give you an idea to do your business better."
Xia Jian's words made the woman feel energetic. She hurriedly closed the door, then twisted her butt and sat on the chair. She smiled and said, "You people in the city are smart and can make money. Don't worry, let's see how you can make the business of my hotel bigger."
"It seems that your town has no industry, so there are not many outsiders. Is that true?" Xia Jian said, and he also sat by the bed.
The fat woman responded with a slight understanding and said, "We come here every year to collect medicinal materials, which only takes a few months. Apart from that, there are really not many people coming."
"You are the people here to grow medicinal materials?" Xia Jian couldn't help asking.
The fat woman shook her head and said, "What a big deal. Our place is poor and we can't plant anything, let alone plant medicinal materials. But walking in the mountains behind us, there are a lot of natural medicinal materials. The villagers' annual income depends on this."
When Xia Jian heard this, he basically understood what the fat woman said. It seemed that this place was really not good.
Xia Jian stood up, he opened the window and looked at the mountains in the distance for a while, then said to the fat woman: "Why should you join forces with the old man from which restaurant to do this business?"
"Tsk! You can pull it off! He is so stingy. What's the point of joining forces with him? It seems that you are not very smart and have such a bad idea." The fat woman said, getting up and leaving. No matter how Xia Jian called her, she left without looking back.
Thinking about it, I am now a clay Buddha crossing the river, and I still go to give others some ideas. The glorious days disappeared in an instant, and now he is a fugitive. When Xia Jian thinks of this, he feels extremely uncomfortable.
It soon became dark, and the night in the mountains was very cold. Xia Jian shrank and didn't feel sleepy at all. He was thinking about how he should go down this way.
Time passed by minute by minute. The more Xia Jian thought about these things, the less he wanted to sleep. Suddenly, a barking sound came from far away, followed by the sound of the door downstairs opening.
At this time, someone is still here to stay in the hotel? Xia Jian couldn't help but take the watch on the bedside and tried hard to identify it. It was about two o'clock in the middle of the night. Xia Jian turned off the lights as soon as he lay on the bed. He knew that farmers liked to stay in the festival, and if the lights were on, the fat woman would definitely be unhappy.
"Oh, Boss Xiong, you are so anxious." The fat woman's voice suddenly came downstairs.
Then a man said, "Don't make a fuss, no one is here to stay in the hotel tonight!
"An honest city man came, and he would give me some advice to make the business in this store bigger." The fat woman's tone of this was obviously ridiculing Xia Jian's ignorance.
Following the footsteps, a man said, "You know I'm coming tonight, why do you still have to come to stay in a hotel? Our business is done, which store you're not going to be a big deal?" How could this man's voice be so familiar? Xia Jian couldn't help but sit up straight and listen with his ears on his back.
"Let's go! I've tested it all, he's just an honest man. He will definitely sleep soundly at this moment and will not prevent us from doing serious business," the fat woman urged.
Business? Main business? What business and downtown do you have to do it in the middle of the night? And the man's voice was so familiar. Thinking of this, Xia Jian could no longer sit still. He gently got out of bed, put on his clothes, and touched downstairs.
The whole yard is pitch black, and it can be said that it is impossible to see your fingers. Fortunately, Xia Jian has lived in the countryside for many years, so he is not unfamiliar with such an environment.
He walked very lightly and was very careful, for fear that he would hit something in the yard and make a noise, and it would be bad. Where did this person go? Xia Jian looked at every room carefully, but every room was dark. Could it be that this man was the fat woman's lover? They had turned off the lights here to do business?
Just as Xia Jian was thinking about this, the lights in the main hall lit up at this time, and the fat woman said, "Isn't there any noise? I said that he had already gone to bed."
When Xia Jian heard this, he couldn't help but feel up. It turned out that they turned off the light to test whether he had fallen asleep. They were so careful that they would definitely not do anything good. If it was an affair, there was no need to care about him as a hotel. It seemed that this problem was a bit big.
When Xia Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but gently touch the hall room with the lights on.
