Amelia's hotel business was really good. Not long after the Sheriff left, all the remaining rooms in the hotel were booked. Amelia was overjoyed and had a smile on her face the whole day.
The few guests who have just checked in have complex backgrounds. Two young people from Eastern Europe are said to be doing odd jobs in Walvis Bay. However, there have been too many new immigrants recently and it is difficult to find jobs. They are both unemployed and want to stay at the hotel in Amelia.
Amelia thought about it and agreed to help pay for the house.
Two young people are very agile, diligent and capable, and they are also proficient in English and French. To be hotel waiters, to be honest, they are overqualified for their use.
A middle-aged man from Germany, said to be an administrator from a certain university, originally came to Southern Africa with the longing for a better life tomorrow, but after arriving in Southern Africa, he found that there was no use for him.
If a middle-aged person is a professor or lecturer, he will probably be very popular. After all, universities in southern Africa still treat teachers very well, not forgetting administrative staff. There is no shortage of administrative staff in southern Africa.
So the middle-aged people drank in the hotel every day to drown their sorrows, got drunk all day long, and often slept in the corridor after getting drunk. Fortunately, the night in Walvis Bay in May was not too cold.
The last one seems to be a girl who is engaged in a special profession. This girl stays behind closed doors all day long. She has three meals a day delivered to her room. Many men visit her every day. The length of stay varies. The longest stay is no more than half a day.
Hours.
Amelia was very curious about this girl. Once she tried to enter the girl's room on the pretext of delivering food, but she heard some inappropriate noises. Then Amelia's wife took over the task of delivering food, and Amelia and two
Young men from Eastern Europe were forbidden to touch the girl.
“Girls must know how to cherish themselves, so that they can be worthy of those who care about them.” Amelia’s wife often said this, but she did not drive the girl away.
The days passed like this, and several young people who loved photography still went out early and came back late.
Young people from Eastern Europe are helping out in hotels while constantly going out to look for work.
The middle-aged man from Germany did not find a job at a familiar university, but he did find a job as a salesperson in a trading company, so he started to get busy. His biggest wish was to get his job in Germany as soon as possible.
The wife and children were brought to southern Africa and the family was reunited.
The girl still rarely goes out. Sometimes Amelia would accidentally see the girl smoking in front of the window. Her face was pale, her hair was messy, and her body was so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow her down.
It was also at this time that Amelia discovered that the girl and Amelia's cat had a good relationship. When the girl smoked in front of the window, Amelia's cat would jump on the window sill of the girl's room and accompany the girl silently. If
At this time, the girl would scratch the cat's chin, and the cat would purr happily and keep nuzzling the girl's hand.
There will always be a lot of dissatisfaction in life, but life itself is beautiful.
So in the next few days, when Amelia prepared dinner for the girl, she would give extra bacon.
“Boss, have you fallen in love with Alyssa? Do you want me to ask you the price?” Pang De would joke from the sidelines at this time.
Don’t be surprised, the name Pound is not Chinese, but the transliteration of the word pound, which translates to pound, pound of pound.
At this time, another young man, Brown, would cover his mouth and snicker, and would make eye contact with Pound, as if he was watching a good show.
It took a long time for Amelia to understand that Brown was not snickering but sneering, and Brown's eyes were not mocking but filled with murderous intent.
At that time, Amelia already knew that Brown and Alyssa were a couple, and that these two, as well as Bond, were agents in Brad's office.
Oh, there is also a salesman who leaves early and comes back late. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was promoted to business manager at the end of the task. If this case continues for a while, the capable salesman will probably be appointed as general manager.
Already.
“Don’t talk nonsense. A lonely girl in a foreign country shouldn’t make people sympathize with her?” Amelia in the future will definitely be grateful for Amelia’s righteousness now.
"What are you doing in the kitchen, are you lazy? Brown, should you wipe the bar, and Pound mop the floor for me, two guys who live in the hotel without paying, you should really learn from Mr. Oliver" Amelia
His wife, Martha, would scold him harshly at this time, and Oliver was the business manager who had just taken office.
Martha is also an Eastern European. During the World War, she fell in love with Amelia who was fighting in Eastern Europe. After the war, Amelia returned to southern Africa and ran this hotel together.
Martha is a mean-spirited person who looks mean but is very kind. On the surface, she is merciless to Pound and Brown, who are unwilling to make progress. In fact, Pound and Brown know that after Oliver was promoted to business manager, Martha
Sarah once asked Oliver to give Bond and Brown a job.
From Martha's point of view, Pound and Brown obviously should not waste their good time in this hotel with no future.
"Mrs. Martha, you look so beautiful today." Pound should not be from the Balkans, but from Italy. He always looks like he has honey on his lips.
“Go to work!” Martha said angrily.
“Hahahahaha” Brown laughed heartily.
“You go and work too!” Martha treated everyone equally.
"And you, get ready to pick grapes after dinner, pick up eggs and duck eggs by the way, and then see which damn geese don't lay eggs. If they don't lay eggs, they will be stewed." Martha, the hostess, always
There was endless work to do, and she and Amelia raised four children together, the eldest of whom was already in school. Although Martha was now a loser, Amelia loved her as always.
“A fierce old woman with no femininity at all.” Although Amelia was complaining, she was still meticulous in her work.
"Don't complain, go quickly." Martha put her hands on her hips and looked like a fierce woman.
At noon, a few guys who looked very unpleasant came into the store. They asked for some snacks and beer, and they were divided into two tables near the door.
The atmosphere in the store today was not normal. Brown and Pound made frequent mistakes. Brown knocked over the glass when pouring wine. Pound served the wrong dish. The business manager seemed to have just completed an order and left work early to order a beer.
To reward himself, the girl who never went out on weekdays also unexpectedly appeared in the restaurant, leaning on the bar and looking at Pound with an unkind look.
Pound was so frightened at this time that he actually looked at the girl's flattering smile.
The girl was unmoved and kicked Pound hard on the leg as he passed by with the plate.
What surprised Amelia was that the usually fierce Pound didn't dare to fart, and even laughed when he was kicked. This was not like the usual Pound.
Amelia remembered that the day before yesterday, a Japanese guest pretended to be crazy with wine and wanted to tease Mrs. Martha. As a result, Pound took him out very fiercely and beat him up. The Japanese guest checked out that day and didn't even dare to ask for the deposit.
, that night Mrs. Martha killed a chicken for the first time and gave both chicken legs to Pound.
Beer is of course enough.
At this time, several guests came to the restaurant and wanted to have a meal.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit solid. Although there seemed to be a lot of guests, no one was chatting. A large group of people sat in silence, and the atmosphere was still a bit depressing.
Several guests couldn't bear it, so they ordered meals and went back to their rooms to eat.
Amelia wanted to say something, but Mrs. Martha stopped her with a stern look.
Amelia noticed sensitively that Mrs. Martha’s hand was always next to the shotgun under the counter, within easy reach.
Amelia finally realized something was unusual, and drove Mrs. Martha to the kitchen with determination, and secretly checked the shotgun.
Fortunately, the bullet is loaded and you can shoot by opening the safety.
At half past twelve, several photography enthusiasts finally returned.
The moment they appeared, the restaurant seemed to suddenly come to life, bustling with people and excitement, and the business manager's voice raised an octave.
"When I learned that Mr. Bayer was also German, I played Liszt's "Dream of Love" in Mr. Bayer's living room using Mr. Bayer's piano, and I got
Mr. Bayer's order is a total of 650,000 rand." The business manager was frothing at the mouth and was very proud of his stroke of genius. The university administrators still have some merits.
Artistic cultivation can not only cultivate sentiments, but also bring unexpected rewards.
At this time, several photography enthusiasts walked into the restaurant and were a little surprised to see the bustle in the restaurant.
“Boss, do you have anything to eat?” The young man led by the boss was calm.
“Of course, today we have fresh chicken stewed with mushrooms and delicious salmon,” Amelia introduced skillfully, but her eyes were not on the young man at the head.
In fact, a dozen young people who had been drinking together just now had quietly gathered around.
Photographers are sensitive and suddenly look back.
At this moment, a dozen young people, including Pound and Brown, suddenly swarmed up.
“Don’t move, we are the Southern African police, you are all under arrest!” The business manager suddenly took out a polished pistol from his arms.
A few photography enthusiasts resisted desperately.
The girl who was leaning on the bar suddenly picked up a beer glass weighing more than two kilograms and hit a struggling photography enthusiast on the head.
The photographer collapsed to the ground without saying a word.
Amelia’s face was filled with shock.
What a cruel attack!
Not only that, the girl knocked down a photographer with a cup, then walked up to Pound, who was humbly trying to please him with a smile, and stepped hard on Pound's foot, while Pound was holding his foot and jumping on one foot.
At that moment, Pound was punched in the nose again.
