Wang Li and her friends didn't expect the provincial capital to be so scary. Sanniu's wife looked around and whispered that we might as well stay in the village, as the people here are scarier than bandits.
Sanniu looked at his wife and said, "Shut up! If those idiots hear you, they will shut you up."
When the old man saw the group of people quarreling, he quickly ran away.
"Let's not stand here anymore, let's find a place to stay, I can't stand any longer."
Several people looked at Wang Li nervously, afraid that she would get angry and drive them away. The city was too scary.
Walking further, looking for hotels as you walk, you can see grain and oil shops and tailor shops on the roadside. There are also street vendors outside the shops, people mending pots, repairing shoes and polishing shoes, selling pancakes and tofu pudding, and even a newsstand on the side. These are the things that the old lady and her family needed for their daily lives in the 1940s. And this is just what you can see in front of you. In this era when other places were short of food, most people in Shanxi could still have enough to eat because of the existence of the Shanxi merchants.
No matter which era it is, the rich live in luxury and the poor live in poverty. This is the reality.
Wang Li thought, I've only seen street stalls along the way! I can stay here and go for a walk, eat some snacks from the 1940s, just thinking about it makes me drool...
Han Ya kept calling Wang Li, but Wang Li was watching the snacks on the street and didn't hear anything.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you? You ignored me even when I called you. Don't you want to take me with you anymore?"
Wang Li: "Girl, look, there's a hotel across the street where you can stay."
【Chia Tai Hotel】
Look at the words written on the door:
Good news for tourists, with a moderate address, convenient transportation, spacious houses, elegant and clean bedrooms, complete facilities, considerate hospitality, convenient services, Chinese and Western dishes, high taste and low price.
The room prices are: 5 yuan, 3 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 50 cents, there are several price ranges, you can choose by yourself.
Wang Li thought this was a good idea. She immediately called Sanniu in to ask if there was room for the horses in the carriage.
Sanniu came to Wang Li and said, "Madam, there is not only room for carriages inside, but they can also help buy tickets. We won't leave until we find the master and the young master. We don't need tickets either. It's just that the price here is too high."
"Come in, it's okay. I'll let you stay. Sanniu, you and the waiter go to park the carriage. We'll book a room and wait for you."
As soon as I entered the hall, a boy came over and asked me, "Are you here to eat or stay overnight?" I guess he was a waiter.
"Stay in the hotel, three rooms."
Wang Li took out nine silver dollars and handed them to the waiter.
Sanniu's family took a deep breath and murmured softly, feeling sad to give so much money to others.
"Madam, please come here to register." When the waiter saw the lady taking out so many silver dollars at once, he thought that she was a rich person and he had to treat her well. Maybe the tip would be quite a lot!
Wang Li followed him to the counter and took the three room keys. "Let's sit for a while and wait for someone to come back. He went to park the carriage. When he comes back, we can go up together."
The waiter smiled and politely said, "You can sit here and wait," but before he could finish his words, Sanniu came back.
They followed the waiter to the guest rooms. There was one room for men, one for women, and one for Wang Li herself. They were required to tidy up the room during the break and no one could be around.
There are two beds in each guest room. There are three men in one room and four women in one room. It is spacious and everyone can take a shower. They are all tired after so many days and just want to take a rest.
They ordered a few common dishes and a bowl of rice for each person. It seemed like they hadn't eaten for a long time. Everyone looked at them while they were eating. Wang Li ordered more dishes for them. After eating, they went back to their room to take a shower and sleep.
