Chapter 231: Taking advantage of others?
"Boss, check out."
Li Shu walked straight to the front desk and slapped the room card on the table with his right hand in an attempt to attract the attention of the man in the shirt.
The man raised his glasses, moved his mouth obviously, and made an "ah" sound like a dry oasis.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be stunned for a moment. Maybe he hadn't heard him being called that way for a long time, right?
When passing by the front desk, Li Shu accidentally heard the landlady chatting with others.
The words spoken were probably those of his husband, the boss.
Due to the general environment, the epidemic in the surrounding areas is serious, and this area has also been ruthlessly affected.
Therefore, due to heaven and earth reasons or human factors, the boss has not been back for two years, and the two of them only make occasional video calls.
Li Shu also deduced from these occasional words that the boss worked outside as a clerk. After all, there were small rural areas in this industrial area, so there was no suitable job for him.
The factory does often recruit workers, but he has thin arms and legs and is relatively quiet, so he cannot be a worker, so he can only go out to do other jobs.
Maybe here, this man, this upright man at home, may not be worth mentioning outside.
How many people are marginalized in society?
Countless people! He should be one of them!
Before today, Li Shu had never seen this man in a shirt. Now that the epidemic has eased, everyone's travels have returned to order and normality...
In addition, the New Year is approaching recently, so it is reasonable for him to come back.
The Chinese New Year is almost three or four days away, and people at this time are all going for Spring Festival travel.
The boss who has not been back for two years is obviously not used to this title.
When he heard the word "boss" from Li Shu's mouth, he was stunned for a moment. Li Shu's eyes were so sharp that he could even feel the pounding in his heart from his body.
It seems that he has not yet withdrawn from his work and returned home, and his brain still subconsciously thinks that he is still in a work environment.
At the same time, Li Shu seemed to be immersed in the situation and felt his worries. Maybe his boss at work also had a big impression on him, right?
Or rather...
shadow.
"boss."
Li Shu repeated, accompanied by a hoarse and heavy voice in the man's throat.
"ah?"
He raised his confused eyes slightly, ignoring that his glasses had drooped down to the tip of his nose. After staying there for two or three seconds, he seemed to finally think about it, or reflect it.
He raised his forehead with a somewhat high hairline. The boss, who was in his fifties, still had very dense wrinkles on his forehead. He glanced up at Li Shu, and then nodded with a dry and hoarse voice.
I saw him responding to Li Shu with a smile on his face.
"Okay, pretty boy, wait a minute."
The boss said this, took the room card on the table, and typed the numbers on the keyboard according to the room number.
It must be that he felt a little uncomfortable after coming back. Li Shu could see that the boss seemed to be in a hurry and he obviously didn't get used to it for a while.
"Li Shu, right? You stayed here for seven days, a total of..."
The boss twisted the sides of his glasses with his hands, bringing the lenses closer to his eyes. His eyes looked at the computer screen, but his mouth seemed to be moving, and he said to Li Shu.
Li Shu replied calmly and reminded him: "I have already given him the money."
"Ah well, I wish you a happy new year!"
The boss looked at the room card for a while, and when he turned it over, he discovered that there was a white label on the back of the room card.
The three bold characters "Paid" are written on the label.
"Happy New Year."
"Hey handsome, my wife's meal is almost ready. You are the last guest to leave our hotel. Why don't you stay for a meal?"
After Li Shu said "Happy New Year" and was about to leave, the boss seemed to have a sudden reaction and quickly stopped Li Shu.
"Am I the last one?"
Li Shu turned around and asked, "Actually, the drunkard's intention is not to drink..."
He had seen the landlady cook, and that skill had been accumulated for at least ten or twenty years, or even longer!
Because the main structure and structure of the B&B is still very simple. Behind the corridor of the front desk is connected to the back door, and inside the back door is the kitchen.
Simply put some kitchen utensils, boiler gas, etc. Although the environment may not be very good, it is convenient enough.
So sometimes when Li Shu was going upstairs, he would see the proprietress cooking vegetables without closing the kitchen door.
Why the door was not closed? Li Shu thought there were two reasons. The first was to avoid choking. After all, there was no exhaust fan or range hood inside. He was also stunned. This safety hazard was also too great. Sure enough, there was no man.
It's just inconvenient to be at home.
The second is that the landlady also needs to look at the store. She can look directly through the corridor towards the door of the B&B, so that she can see at a glance whether there are guests coming in.
But it is impossible for one person to do everything. Because of the oil fume, there are often many complaints from guests. Therefore, the reason why the business of this B&B is not doing well has something to do with this.
But that doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is the food cooked by the boss lady!
Among the colors, smells, and smells, although Li Shu could sometimes only know the "scent" among the three, but just based on the smell, the proprietress should be as good as the average restaurant chef.
Take the meal that Li Shu spent more than 900 yuan on for example. Through his keen awareness, the chef of the hotel could not compete with this mediocre bed and breakfast proprietress!
To be honest, everyone loves food, and Li Shu is no exception. Instead of thinking about what to eat and where to eat every day, it is simply a torment for himself!
There are many kinds of problems in the world, and one of them is really troublesome for people to think about!
That’s exactly what to eat for your next meal!
Originally, Li Shu was not suitable for people who liked to disturb or trouble others. He also liked purity.
But when faced with this problem, Li Shu decided not to bother him.
Even with my now greatly improved brain, I can't draw any conclusion on this issue.
But Li Shu was still a little embarrassed, so he thought about talking to his boss about other topics first to get acquainted with him, so as not to make the waiting scene too embarrassing.
The boss responded to Li Shu's question: "Yes, you are the last one to check out. There shouldn't be many people coming here to stay. Plus it's the Chinese New Year. Those people must have gone back to celebrate the New Year.
