Chapter 54: It Has Become a Supply Station
Once upstairs, the remaining space was indeed much more crowded than the lobby on the first floor. Standing at the top of the stairs, you could see two rows of rooms facing each other on both sides of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there is also a window inlaid with colorless glass. The afternoon sunlight shines directly through the window, illuminating the entire floor.
Although only three private rooms on the second floor have been renovated as guest rooms, it doesn't mean that the other rooms are completely unusable.
Lu Yusheng casually opened the first door on the left for the group. Although the cement walls inside were not painted, they were clean and tidy, with only a little dust. After a simple cleaning, it would be no problem to make a bed on the floor.
Are you staying here tonight?
She led them toward the renovated guest rooms, asking them with concern as she went.
If they really arrive tonight, then aside from the room where Sikong Zhaixing is sleeping, there will only be two rooms left. And judging from the number of people in this group, at least ten people will have nowhere to sleep.
Lin Zhennan looked at the room with slight surprise after the door opened.
To have a psychological effect of protecting the eyes, Lu Yusheng specially chose green walls for this private room.
Inside the room, a tatami mat lay in the center, with cabinets in front and behind, all painted in the same color scheme.
There were a few computer desks pieced together by the window. Although there were no computers on them, Lu Yusheng had already arranged for anti-radiation potted plants.
In addition, the soft cushions laid on the floor give the whole room a subtle sense of elegance.
There was another unopened room not far away. Thinking that she could put a fish tank in it and use it as a sea view room, she chose blue for the wall paint. The rest of the layout was not much different.
It was truly unexpected that someone would go to the trouble of building such a nice inn in such a sparsely populated place. Coming back to his senses, Lin Zhennan coughed lightly before saying, "We have things to do and need to travel this afternoon, so we won't disturb you any longer today."
Lu Yusheng was somewhat disappointed. He had initially thought that the other party was in a hurry to find lodging since they had come up to see him.
But since they were among the first guests to arrive in recent days, she still enthusiastically showed them many things.
Fortunately, although the group had no intention of staying at the hotel, they still had business to discuss.
"Have you heard of the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou, young lady?" Lin Zhennan continued.
Lu Yusheng shook his head honestly. Although the other party showed a hint of disappointment, he still continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Our escort agency will be passing through here on our future escort routes, and we need to find some reliable shops to cooperate with. Are you interested, young lady?"
He must have weighed the pros and cons before making this decision.
First of all, the architectural style here doesn't seem like someone who's short of money. Although the shop owner is indeed not skilled in martial arts, the waiter downstairs is someone he can't quite figure out... It seems that she, a young woman, must have some kind of backing to dare to open a shop here.
Since the identity makes sense, the next consideration is the accommodation environment.
This place is remote, but for them, remoteness has its advantages. Moreover, perhaps because it is close to Hangzhou, there are no bandits or outlaws in the surrounding mountains and forests. If they need to rest when they are tired from traveling at night, this place is enough for them to rest.
Although it can't accommodate many people at the moment, they wouldn't always send out so many people every time. Besides, there are empty seats here, and the shops that are empty will probably have to be renovated sooner or later.
It's a pity there's no stable...
A burly man who had been trailing behind him and Lin Pingzhi reached into his robes and pulled out a folded scroll of paper, handing it over.
Lu Yusheng subconsciously took it, and then heard the middle-aged man in the lead continue, "This is our travel permit. You can check its authenticity, young lady."
I've never seen anything like this before.
She responded nonchalantly, but secretly, taking advantage of their lack of understanding of technology, she secretly turned on her phone camera and took a picture.
There's no way around it. Although the instinct to switch between simplified and traditional characters is there, reading such a long string of characters will always be an obstacle, not to mention having to distinguish between true and false.
We can only wait until everyone leaves and then show it to Sikong Zhaixing.
"If we try it out for a while and it feels right, we can prepay a year's rent in advance."
While she was checking the travel permit, Lin Zhennan didn't forget to make another promise.
Of course, what was said is true, but we need to make at least two or three more trips to check the frequency to confirm whether it is necessary.
If we finalize the cooperation agreement later, we won't have to pay any fees when the escort agency comes to stay in the future. Even if there are any overages, they can be directly recorded in the accounts, which will be much more convenient.
As for why we're bringing this up now...
They had been traveling for a long time and needed to replenish their food supplies. There was no fodder here, but they could still get some water and food.
After hearing his words, the shopkeeper became much more enthusiastic and immediately led them back to the lobby.
She settled the guests down, then went behind the bar and took out seven or eight bags of instant noodles at a time from the store, and also filled half a case with energy drinks.
When it came time to pay, Lin Zhennan calculated in his mind that the price of the goods was much lower than the average price of Lin Pingzhi's previous trip, and he was secretly pleased with the other party's thoughtfulness.
Lu Yusheng certainly wouldn't say that the price he paid last time was too high, but he hesitated for a moment as he looked at the cardboard box in his hand.
“That young… young master…” She turned to look at the young man waiting outside the bar, almost calling him “kid”, but thankfully stopped herself in time.
The boy showed no displeasure and politely introduced himself, "My name is Lin Pingzhi."
"Okay, Xiaolin." Lu Yusheng nodded, and after returning the courtesy by introducing himself, he asked, "What did you do with the leftover packaging from the food I took away last time? Like the empty paper bags and water bottles."
Lin Pingzhi recalled that the previous trip was a return journey, and there were no goods in the car, so he was not too cautious.
The group traveled quickly on horseback, and when they returned to Fuzhou, half of the supplies in the cart remained unopened.
He began by saying, "The paper bags for the flatbread and pastries were burned when the fire was started."
Then, somewhat embarrassed, he said, "The water bottle was clean and transparent, and it was decorated with flowers, birds, fish and insects. It would be a waste to throw it away, so I kept it to collect water."
Lu Yusheng paused for a moment before subconsciously saying, "That's great."
Before the other person could react, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy."
Fortunately, she was worried about the bumpy ride on the carriage and didn't dare to give them canned or carbonated drinks, for fear that they might be mistaken for hidden weapons when opened.
In this way, although plastic bottles are not environmentally friendly, at least they are not wasted.
Burning plastic bags and cardboard boxes directly might cause some air pollution, but given the quantity, there's no need to worry for now.
Lin Pingzhi was a very polite child; he didn't get angry at all when a stranger patted his shoulder and coaxed him like a child.
He had only just started out as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and this route was something he had personally developed. Now, his father had adopted his suggestion and chosen this small shop as a future partner, so the sense of accomplishment he felt was indescribable.
Moreover, although Lu Yusheng's appearance is not exceptionally beautiful, he is fair-skinned with delicate features and has a very approachable smile.
He wasn't one to judge people by their appearance, and it was even harder for him to get angry at such a smiling face, so he just smiled shyly at her and let it go.
After seeing the group off and having dinner, Lu Yusheng finally remembered to count the silver he had earned that day.
The silver hadn't been credited to the system yet, but now that the drawer was open, it was easy to see that there was still a 50% profit in the silver by comparing it with the balance and purchase records displayed in the system shop.
The price she asked for from Lin Pingzhi and his son today was really not high. The items she selected had low costs in the mall, and she also promised that the empty bottles could be recycled here, which made the other party satisfied.
She was very satisfied, not only for this rare business deal, but also because she had met these people from the escort agency, so she could ask them to help deliver supplies when she was unable to go out in the future.
Lu Yusheng found something to do, but Sikong Zhaixing was a little bored. As usual, she opened a rhythm game, but after a few rounds, a slight sense of fatigue arose.
I tried a few other games as well. When Ye Guhong left, he left behind an account in "Tianxia Yijian" that had already reached level 40, but of course I couldn't just give it to him to play.
Lu Yusheng had originally created a new account for him, but the other party only went through the tutorial a few times before losing interest.
On the contrary, I became addicted to VR games after playing them a couple of times.
Even Sikong Zhaixing, who often experienced real-life adventures with Lu Xiaofeng, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement when he thought about that immersive adventure.
In addition, his experience in technology far surpassed that of Chu Liuxiang, and he quickly broke the record left by Chu Liuxiang before he left.
Realizing this, Sikong Zhaixing was filled with regret, lamenting that she hadn't asked him to leave with an even higher score before he left.
If they easily surpass them, it would seem like an unfair victory.
Of course, he didn't think he was superior to his opponent because of this, but playing the same level over and over again without an opponent would be too monotonous and boring...
With that in mind, he set his sights on Lu Yusheng.
To prevent wild guests from spawning, she would sit downstairs for a long time even at night.
Instead of each person playing their own game, why not compete together?
After he finished speaking, Lu Yusheng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "You're the one."
Their competition wasn't the kind where they bought two devices to play together; having only one set of equipment was already the limit of what Luyu Shengneng could afford.
Chu Liuxiang wasn't charged, and Sikong Zhaixing's relationship with her was even less about money, so the cost couldn't be recovered for the time being. When the two of them played together, they could only make do with the limited equipment and take turns using it one at a time.
He doesn't mind the trouble, which shows that Xiaoxing is indeed a very competitive man.
Before going upstairs, Sikong Zhaixing invited him again, and Lu Yusheng had no choice but to close the door and follow him.
