Chen Jianhai looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap, dressed in outdoor travel attire, and carrying a huge travel bag on his back standing in the lobby.
If it’s not Li Xun, then who is it?
"Boss Chen?!"
"Brother Li!!!"
Chen Jianhai walked up excitedly and hugged the confused Li Xun tightly.
If you say there is no fate in this world, Chen Jianhai won't believe it.
Otherwise, how can you explain that no matter where you are, on the first day the hotel opens, the first customer you receive will always be Li Xun.
"Boss Chen, it's you?! Aren't you in Nanjiang? When did you come to Zaomen?" Li Xun's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"This is the new hotel I bought in Zaomen. It's the first day it's open today. Sit down and have a rest!" Chen Jianhai took off Li Xun's backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it over.
"Boss Chen is expanding his career and starting a new journey!" Li Xun murmured, sitting on a small stool as if in a dream, looking at the hotel in front of him.
Chen Jianhai blushed and said, "Hey! Why are you starting a new journey? It's just to try your luck. Brother Li, are you on a cultural trip again?"
Li Xun nodded: "It's not about cultural travel. This time I have a cooperation with the Zaomen City Historical and Cultural Center. I walked through Zaomen along the historical route, and I didn't expect to walk into your hotel again."
As he spoke, Li Xun suddenly smiled: "You remind me of the first time I saw you."
"At that time, you were the only one in the hotel. The house was even worse than this. There wasn't even an elevator..."
"We don't want to dig up history!" Chen Jianhai said with a smile: "Are you still living on the first floor this time?"
Li Xun smiled and nodded: "Live on the first floor!"
"Okay!" Chen Jianhai smiled and walked to a guest room on the first floor, and started to clean the room carefully from inside to outside.
Although it is said that the higher you live, the better the view will be, but the surrounding area is completely desolate, with nothing but construction sites.
Moreover, except for the three of them, there was no one alive in the entire hotel.
Instead of living alone on an empty floor in fear, it would be better for three people to live together on the first floor and have someone to take care of everything.
As a professional hotelier, a top bed-maker and a master cleaner,
Even an ordinary guest room can be decorated to be quite warm and comfortable.
Chen Jianhai was cleaning up the house here, and Xiaolang was holding a thermos outside, pouring hot water into the instant noodle bucket, and making instant noodles for Li Xun.
This thermos bottle was kindly left to them by the elder sister who was making wontons next to them because she felt sorry for them.
Xiao Lang felt a little regretful and said: "Brother Li, you came too late. There were people selling food outside just now. You come first to deal with the instant noodles."
Li Xun took the bucket of instant noodles and said with great emotion: "It's already very good!"
"When I entered his hotel for the first time, not to mention instant noodles, I didn't even have mineral water. All I ate was the bread I picked up on the road..."
As he spoke, Li Xun took out a fork and forked a few noodles into his mouth.
When you eat the hot noodles, your whole body will instantly warm up, and the fatigue from the journey will disappear a lot.
"Speaking ill of me behind my back again!" Chen Jianhai's voice came from the room.
Li Xun and Xiao Lang smiled "hehe". After waiting for about twenty minutes, Chen Jianhai walked out of the room and said in a very professional manner:
"Sir, your turndown service has been completed and you can check in and rest at any time."
"Okay, thank you." Li Xun replied with a smile.
Chen Jianhai and Li Xun reunited after a long absence, and they both saw their friends in a foreign land. They really had endless things to talk about.
The three of them sat on a small bench and chatted until late into the night. Then they couldn't bear it anymore and each went back to their room to sleep.
Opening the door to the room, the curtains in the room have been drawn, and the bed, which is soft and clean, has been gently opened on one side of the bed.
The ambient light beside the bed lights up softly, and the warm light makes people drowsy just by looking at it.
Although the hotel decoration is a bit crude,
However, since the hotel was built very recently and almost no one has stayed there since it was built, the house looks very new.
Li Xun picked up an elephant twisted into a towel on the bed and said with a smile to himself: "The service is pretty good!"
…
Early the next morning, the three of them stood at the front of the queue and spent 30 yuan on three bottles of goat milk. Then they ordered three portions of fried buns and tofu puffs at the market, and sat at a small stall on the side of the street.
Eat on the table.
"The climate in Zaomen is too dry. My mouth is parched after sleeping this night." Xiaolang said unhappily as he poured the mineral water bottle into his mouth.
"This water is not good either. If you scratch your throat, it won't moisturize you at all."
Li Xun paused with the chopsticks in his hand and said in astonishment: "Can mineral water scratch your throat?"
Xiaolang nodded: "Yeah, I drank a lot of mineral water. Among the water that costs less than 3 yuan, only Nuanbao mineral water is smooth and doesn't hurt my throat. All other waters are rough."
Li Xun opened his mouth, wanting to say something but he couldn't.
In all his life, this was the first time he heard someone say that mineral water scratched the throat.
Xiaolang said seriously: "Brother Li, don't believe it. Just try it next time you buy a bottle of Nuanbao. The taste is really different."
"...Okay! I'll buy a bottle of Pinpin later."
…
After breakfast, he checked the Squirrel Hotel again and turned off the power. Chen Jianhai closed the door from the outside and prepared to go around the city.
Although the Squirrel Hotel is also my own hotel, this hotel really cannot accommodate people.
Even if all the curtains in the room are closed, they cannot block the light from the headlights of the construction site, coupled with the intermittent construction noise,
Chen Jianhai felt that if he stayed here for one more night, he would have a nervous breakdown.
When Li Xun saw the fingerprint lock on the hotel door, he was surprised: "Boss Chen, don't you need to buy a big iron lock and add another lock?"
Chen Jianhai waved his hand: "No, it's very safe, don't worry... By the way, Brother Li, how do you leave?"
Chen Jianhai looked at the taxi approaching in the distance and said, "Brother Li, why don't you get in the car and I'll give you a ride. This road has no money, no shops behind the village, and you can find a place to rest at night."
No."
Xiaolang also said: "Yes, Brother Li, we will take you wherever you want to go first."
Li Xun quickly shook his head, pointed to the group of villages to the east and said, "I'm going to the village over there today to do a record survey. I'm afraid I won't be able to come with you."
"In my job, I still have to follow the historical context step by step. If I take a shortcut by car, it will be meaningless."
Chen Jianhai glanced at Li Xun with admiration, held his hand tightly, and said reluctantly: "Brother Li, let's break up now. When you finish your trip to Zaomen, remember to go back to Squirrel Hotel to take another look.
, I’ll definitely give you a surprise!”
Li Xun also patted Chen Jianhai's hand deeply: "I am full of expectations for that day!"
After seeing off Li Xun, Chen Jianhai and Xiao Lang got into a taxi. The driver said enthusiastically:
"I knew you two had to call me. No one is willing to come here even if you pay extra for a taxi."
"Tell me, where do you want to go?"
Chen Jianhai casually said: "Which is the best barbecue restaurant in Zaomen?"
The driver said: "The best barbecue restaurant in Zaomen is definitely the Donghai Longgong Seafood Barbecue Restaurant. Not only does the skewers taste good, but the grilled meat on the grill is also amazing. The dipping sauces are so delicious!"
When Xiaolang heard this, he perked up: "Then go to Donghai Longgong Seafood BBQ Restaurant!"
