Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 7 Yuelai Inn
Generally speaking, the raft's stopping points during the journey are fixed.

The receptionist will contact the hotels along the river in advance and record all the meals and accommodations. When the time comes, the receptionist will arrange someone to come and settle the bill.

Of course, if a wealthy person like Qian Dagui can issue more than ten old tickets at once, he will usually send someone to follow the whole process.

In case of any unexpected situation on the way, it would be inconvenient for the leader to make decisions.

Li Yongfu has been working as a second cashier for some years and is familiar with the owners of the inns and restaurants along the river.

When Li Yongfu heard people talking about the daughter-in-law of the old Qi family, he immediately became excited.

"Are you really a dependent daughter-in-law? Don't try to fool people with your child who is due to die."

The owner of Yuelai Inn looked up and recognized Li Yongfu.

"Oh, it's Li Ergui, my brother, I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you just now. Please forgive me, please forgive me." The shopkeeper bowed to Li Yongfu and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Second Steward. This is a daughter-in-law who really relies on others. I still rely on Second Steward to take care of my business. How can I be careless with you?"

"Before she got married, the daughter-in-law of the old Qi family was the most beautiful girl in the whole area.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky. When the man went into the mountains to hunt, he was attacked by a black bear. Half of his face was bitten off and his leg was broken.

There is no other way, the wife of the old Qi family can only come out to earn money. "The innkeeper explained with a smile.

"Second Cabinet, you can rest assured and stay at my place. I will ask the old Qi family's wife to accompany you.

I guarantee you will never forget the taste of that woman after tonight." The shopkeeper gave Li Yongfu a meaningful look.

Li Yongfu laughed loudly upon hearing this, and turned to look at Shui Laowu, "Boss, don't you want to enjoy yourself? You don't have to spend any money, I'll treat you."

The water crow shook his head.

He has been working in this industry for so many years, there is nothing he doesn't know. These people at the counter are always good at playing tricks.

Along the way, people are lured to eat, drink and have fun, but when they get to the destination and settle the bill, all expenses have to be deducted.

The guys worked hard for a whole season, but in the end they found that they had little money left, which they spent on eating, drinking and having fun.

In the end, I was left with no choice but to sign another one-year contract with the counter.

"No, as long as the food is good. Everyone has been in a hurry these days, just a few solid dishes and plenty of drinks will be enough."

Shui Laowu glared at the group of eager men behind him and said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the food is guaranteed to be delicious." The innkeeper quickly assured upon hearing this.

In this way, everyone got off the raft, and someone helped the second keeper to carry the box containing silver and money. The second keeper and the innkeeper walked side by side to the inn together.

Yuelai Inn is not far from the river, with a row of bungalows along the street.

On the lantern at the door of the inn, the word "Yue Lai" was written, and on both sides of the door were posted couplets, "A thousand miles of travel, the master and the people are all safe."

You can tell at first glance that this inn is mainly for receiving Muba.

When they passed through the gate and entered the courtyard, they saw several women dressed in red and green, with slicked-back hair and makeup, surrounding them.

The women all had smiles on their faces, affection in their eyes, and flirted with everyone in a coquettish manner.

Most of the woodcutters were bachelors and had lived in deep mountains and forests for years. They had never seen such a scene before. Some of them were so shocked that their eyes widened and their legs could not move.

"Let's all sleep in the cabin, and the expenses will be paid from the cabinet."

Li Yongfu was pleased to see the inexperienced look of the guys, so he said with a smile.

"Don't give me that, boss. I live in a room with a kang."

But Shui Laowu didn't appreciate it at all. With a cold face, he walked through the women and went straight to the big house.

"Lenghuer, you live with me."

"Okay, okay." Qu Shaoyang didn't even look at the women and followed the leader towards the big house.

"Hey, who is this boy? He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he's quite handsome. He looks very young. How old is he? Is he eighteen?"

A woman blocked Qu Shaoyang's way with her hand, looked him up and down several times, and asked with a smile, "Have you ever been with a woman? You're still a greenhorn, right? Come on, stay in the little room with me tonight, and I'll let you have a taste of it."

As the woman spoke, she tried to pull Qu Shaoyang's hand.

"I don't want your money, I just want you to be handsome and have a good figure." The woman looked at Qu Shaoyang and smiled ambiguously.

The woman's explicit words caused the people in the yard to howl like wolves.

"Leng Hu'er, did you hear that? Someone has taken a fancy to you, why don't you hurry up?"

"Get lost! Do you think I'm like you guys, who can't even walk on the street when seeing a woman?"

Qu Shaoyang glared at the group of idiots and scolded them with a smile.

Are you kidding? He came from an information-rich age after all, so he has seen all kinds of beauties, right?

The ones in front of him are all quite old and not particularly good-looking. He is not so hungry that he would eat anything he can get. He really looks down on this kind of people.

After Qu Shaoyang finished speaking, he avoided the woman, followed Shui Laowu, and went straight to the big house.

Some of the other woodcutters were provoked and didn't care about anything else. They asked the shopkeeper for a small room.

We all live our lives, so why not live them? When you have money, you should eat, drink and have fun, so that you won't regret it when you die.

It just so happens that it will take some time to prepare the meal, so I might as well pick some red fruits and do some important things first.

"He is just a fool, a young man who knows nothing.

If you want to be a good lover, you should choose a man like me, who knows how to be warm and caring."

Erzhao Wang Changliang walked over, put his arm around the woman's shoulders and teased her.

The woman failed to seduce the young and strong Qu Shaoyang, so she had to give up.

I looked back at the man next to me. He was in his early thirties, with a flat head and a straight face, and he didn't look ugly.

So, he happily followed Wang Changliang.

There were only five or six women in the inn, and as soon as they hesitated, they were taken away by others.

Those who failed to grab the opportunity could only shake their heads and sigh, secretly hating themselves for being indecisive and not seizing the opportunity.

Some people who are more thoughtful plan to go out for a walk later, hoping to encounter something good.

Of course, there are also those honest and decent people who just want to save money and return to their hometown to buy a house and land and get married.

These people then followed the foreman obediently and went to the big house.

The main house of the inn is quite spacious, with two large kangs in the north and south, both of which are quite warm.

Qu Shaoyang and others didn't care about that and just lay down on the warm kang, feeling so comfortable.

Twenty or thirty wooden handles was a big deal. The innkeeper did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly ordered the waiter to boil water and make tea to entertain everyone.

At the same time, he instructed the kitchen to hurry up and cook, and not to be negligent in the slightest.

On a spring evening, this small town along the river suddenly became lively and bustling with the arrival of rafts and wooden handles.

Several women with enchanting figures and seductive clothes were deliberately wandering around Yuelai Inn.

"Brother, why is it difficult to light the kang in my house? It's not very smokey. Can you do this?"

Seeing someone coming out of the inn, a woman hurried forward to talk to him, winking at the man as she spoke.

"Yes, we rafting people are best at repairing things.

If the kang is hard to heat, it must be because the chimney is clogged. Just clear it up."

When Zhao Da Kui heard this, he immediately understood what he meant and quickly continued.

"Big sister, where is your home? Come on, take me to your home."
