♂?,,
As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the inn. The fellow at this inn was not as enthusiastic as those in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, because this was a monopolized business. In the entire city, there was only one such inn, and you had to stay here whether you wanted to or not.
So whether it's the service attitude or the room, it can't be compared to those within the country. However, the price is frighteningly high, not giving in to even the best inns in Bianjing City.
What Chen Yuan couldn't bear the most was that this inn had a rule: no matter how many people came, they could only open up to two guest rooms. Those drivers and helpers could go to the backyard to sleep in a large communal bed.
The reason is simple. If we let the coachman and the apprentice in, the inn will be fully occupied immediately. What about other merchant teams that come?
The words make sense, but the attitude of the partner is unbearable.
Chen Yuan just politely asked: "Little brother, look at our group with women, can't you open another room for us? If not, I'll pay double the rent."
That little servant stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Chen Yuan with a proud and disdainful gaze: "You think you're impressive just because you have money? You should be grateful that we're being so accommodating! If it were two months ago, men and women would be separated, each getting one room. Even if you had a wife, you'd still get one room for the man and one room for the woman. Can't stay here? Then go to the back and sleep on the floor!"
Chen Yuan nodded hastily: "Wait, wait, little brother, please lead the way."
The little servant looked at him disdainfully: "Do you still want me to guide the way? Second floor, turn left, third and fourth rooms, go up yourself!"
Chen Yuan felt a sense of injustice in his heart. He wasn't upset about being scolded by the shopkeeper, but rather he felt that with such a good location and a monopoly on the business, they were taking advantage of people! It was truly extortionate!
Just like a beauty, she should be placed in the hall as a receptionist. But an extremely beautiful woman should be placed in the office as a secretary instead.
The way this inn does things is obviously to arrange a stunning beauty in the housekeeping department! What a pity, really what a pity.
Chen Yuan looked back at Hu Jing following him, and suddenly thought of a question. With four people on their side and two rooms, if he arranged for Amu Dai and Pang Xi to share one room, then wouldn't it be possible tonight...
As soon as this idea came out, he immediately felt that the rules of this inn were so good, and he slowed down his pace, letting Amu Da and Pang Xi go first. His body slowly leaned towards Hu Jing, whispering: "Tonight, this inn is a bit crowded, how about we two just stay in one room for a night?"
Hu Jing looked at him and slowed down her pace: "This isn't quite right, is it? After all, we're not married yet. Doing this would be bad for my reputation."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely observe the rules of propriety and won't make any improper moves."
Hu Jing smiled, revealing two sweet dimples on her face.
This expression made Chen Yuan see hope, and his heart was filled with wild joy. But in the blink of an eye, Hu Jing drew out her short sword and struck Chen Yuan's thigh heavily with the blade.
Only heard Hu Jing say in a gentle voice: "If you dare to enter my room, I will cut off my legs!"
Chen Yuan's sweat had all come out, he lifted his head to take a look, Ah Mu Da and Pang Xi turned their heads to stare at him, both of their faces were filled with smiles.
Chen Yuan felt very frustrated and couldn't help but resent Bai Yutang, if it wasn't for him breaking that teapot last night, maybe this conversation wouldn't be happening today.
After checking the room, they came to the backyard to see if the goods were placed safely and whether those partners and drivers had settled down.
After all, there is still a long way to go, and on the road, it's not just relying on these buddies and carters to help with work, but also to help fight when things get dangerous.
So people's hearts must be united, and this is no different from fighting a battle.
Chen Yuan walked back and forth among the crowd, asking some idle questions, such as what to eat for dinner? Is it cold sleeping here? Do you want to add a few more quilts?
Although it's nonsense, sometimes this nonsense can eliminate a little dissatisfaction in the hearts of partners.
The team's morale is not bad, although many people are not in good spirits because they didn't sleep all night yesterday. However, when Chen Yuan promised to let them rest for a few more days at Wensong, they didn't say much anymore.
What struck Chen Yuan as strange was a pale-faced young man who seemed to have endless energy and strength, while others were lazily lying on the ground resting, only he was still working.
Those boxes and burlap sacks that normally required two strong men to lift were stacked up one by one on the left side of the troops, which not only facilitated the sentry but also blocked out some of the cold wind.
But the guys didn't appreciate it, and someone immediately shouted: "Xiao Wen, with the bags piled so high, how are we supposed to climb up and move them?"
Xiao Wen had a smile on his face, as if working was really a very happy thing for him: "It's okay, when it's time to move, I'll come up and move it, and you can just catch it at the bottom."
What else can others say about this? Chen Yuan also carried packs on the construction site, he knew that fellow workers like Xiao Wen who were willing to work hard and help everyone with heavy tasks were very welcome.
Looking at Xiao Wen's agile figure, Chen Yuan smiled in his heart and shook his head: "This kid must have a good relationship with people."
Turning back, Pang Xi's face was extremely solemn. Chen Yuan didn't know what had happened and immediately asked: "Director Pang, what's wrong?"
Pang Xi also looked at Xiao Wen's figure, and a hint of cold light appeared in his eyes: "He is an expert."
Chen Yuan was stunned: "No way? Where did so many masters come from?"
Pang Xi hummed and said, "I don't understand. Look at his footsteps, although not very fast, but extremely light, especially with him carrying such a heavy thing, his body shape is still not sluggish at all. Take another look at his forehead, until now there's no sweat, this shows that he is indeed an expert. I'll try to test him."
Pang Xi was about to go up, but Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped him: "Alas, forget it, just be careful. Our team has been like this since we left Bianjing, he followed all the way, and if he wants to do something, it's too late to stop him now."
Pang Xi looked at Xiao Wen's figure and seemed a bit disappointed.
At this moment, Xiao Wen started moving the largest box. As before, he easily picked up the box.
But this time, just as they had moved halfway, Xiao Wen suddenly stopped in his tracks and brought the box back, gently placing it on the ground.
Those guys all laughed: "What's wrong little Wen? Can't move it? Do you want your brother to help?"
