"Niu Wa, what do you want us to do? What if there are spies planted by the boss nearby?" Ma Wendong walked over and cursed with an angry face.
"Donko? Claw spy?"
They were all kids from the town, so the bun seller naturally knew Ma Wendong and asked him with shaking hands.
"Old man Hu, it's like this." Ma Wendong said directly without any hesitation.
"Dongzi, you idiot, are there too many storytellers? You little kids don't need spies.
Besides, we are all old neighbors who have lived together for many years in this town. We all know each other. How can we be spies? You are just panting when you talk." The old man Hu, who sells steamed buns, laughed.
After a moment of embarrassment, a dozen kids gathered around the basket of steamed bread, ate most of the basket of steamed bread, and drank the boss's earthenware basin of water.
"It's so comfortable. If I could eat five big steamed buns for every meal, I would be willing to die of fullness." Several little guys said happily while stroking their bulging bellies.
"Niu Wa, there are still quite a lot of steamed bread left. Let Liuzi take it back and feed it to his younger brothers and sisters!" Ma Wendong said as he looked at the half basket of steamed bread left.
"Brother Dong, this is the boss's money, not Wo's. I've already given you one dollar. If you don't go to Wo, I can't give you more. We need to eat these steamed buns on the way." Niu Wa said with a reluctant look on his face, holding the basket.
"You're such a great guy! If it were in the past, I would have beaten you to death!" Ma Wendong cursed angrily.
"hey-hey!"
"The boss trusts me. This is the mission given to me. My mother said that I can't lie." Niu Wa put the backpack in front of him.
"Let's go!"
It was already past one in the afternoon, and the children had to work harder to cover more than twenty miles.
Fortunately, we were well fed and well watered, so this distance was still very easy for a kid from the mountains. We could still get there before dark in four or five hours.
On the other side, Hou Xiaoge was riding a fast horse but he didn't gallop very fast. After all, the roads in those days were all dirt roads, and if he ran fast he would get covered in dust.
They walked leisurely along the way, and whenever they met villagers selling smoked meat or mountain products, Hou Xiaoge would pay for them.
This would not only allow them to stock their own warehouses, but also help the mountain people by preventing them from being exploited by the Kuomintang government.
After walking for more than 20 miles and stopping for two hours, Hou Xiaoge finally arrived in Lu County at around 3:00 p.m.
Today’s cities are truly full of scenery, and the tall city walls are the best historical monuments.
Seeing Hou Xiaoge wearing a suit and riding a sleek black horse, the black-skinned man guarding the city gate and collecting taxes did not even check him.
However, Hou Xiaoge was also generous. He directly threw two one-dollar coupons from his pocket to the black guy who was leading the group.
The leader, Heipi, was delighted when he saw the two dollars and quickly took them.
"Young master, please come in." Heipi quickly took off his hat and saluted.
"You're welcome. You've all worked hard. Take it and go have a drink!" Hou Xiaoge threw down another two dollars.
"Thank you for the reward, young master!" The four dark-skinned people looked happy.
After throwing the money, Hou Xiaoge rode his tall horse into the city without looking back.
This is why it is important to have clothes when you go out. Otherwise, the identity of an outsider like Hou Xiaoge will definitely be taken away.
When we arrived at the door of the most luxurious three-story Fulai Hotel in the county, Xiao Si, who was standing outside, was already walking towards us quickly.
"Sir, do you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel?" the servant in a clean coat asked enthusiastically.
"We have meals and a hotel. My horse has been fed! Add a few pounds of beans and distiller's grains." Hou Xiaoge said as he got off the horse.
"okay!"
The servant waved and took the horse over to his colleague who was taking care of the horse, and greeted him loudly.
Walking into the hotel, I found that the layout of the hotel was the same as that in the TV series Kyoto Shanghai, with a lobby at the bottom and private rooms surrounded by corridors above.
"Master, do you want to rest first or eat?" The servant followed Hou Xiaoge and served him.
"Go wash up first. Are you taking a shower or a bathtub?" Hou Xiaoge asked.
“Sir, showers are only available in high-end hotels and in the city, and we only have bathtubs in the county.
But don't worry, we cleaned the tub thoroughly and scalded it with boiling water." The servant said with assurance.
"Okay, I'll take a bath and wash up, and also order a table of your restaurant's signature dishes." Hou Xiaoge nodded.
The servant looked at the watch on Hou Xiaoge's wrist and knew that he was a wealthy man. He didn't ask what level of house he lived in and took him directly to the No. 1 room.
When going out, Hou Xiaoge did not treat herself badly and followed the servant to room number 2 on the third floor.
After opening the door, the layout inside is quite good except for being a bit retro. It is similar to a suite in later generations. In addition to a dedicated bathroom, there is also a dining table and a living room.
"Master, do you need any service from my little sister?" the servant asked carefully.
"Oh! No need for that." Hou Xiaoge was not used to having someone serve him while he took a bath.
"Then please sit down first, sir. I'll get you some hot water and food." The servant smiled and nodded, preparing to leave the room.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange a task for you." Hou Xiaoge called the servant.
"Master, tell me."
"You arrange someone to wait for a child, or maybe a group of children, at the city gate." Hou Xiaoge gave the servant a brief description of Niu Wa's appearance and clothes.
The most amazing thing about this young man who could work as a waiter in the hotel was that he could recognize people. He reproduced it in his mind and then repeated it to Hou Xiaoge.
"Master, no problem. I'll arrange it when I get down." The servant nodded.
"This is a reward for your good service." Hou Xiaoge took out a dollar and threw it to the servant.
"Thank you for the reward, sir."
The waiter was waiting for this moment to serve so well! He took the money and bowed.
Watching the servant leave, Hou Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction. This is what we call service, polite, thoughtful, and respectful. It's really worth spending a little money on it.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and at Hou Xiaoge's signal, a female waiter came in with a plate of snacks.
There were two small snacks on the plate. Hou Xiaoge found them really good, not too sweet nor greasy. They were all made from pure natural ingredients and were delicious.
After a while, several servants wearing aprons came in carrying several buckets of hot water.
After coming in, he rinsed the wooden tub in the bathroom again right under Hou Xiaoge's nose, and then filled the tub with water.
"Master, the hot water is ready." said a servant.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Hou Xiaoge nodded and thanked him.
"You're welcome. This is what we are supposed to do." The servant said and left the room.
After the servant left, Hou Xiaoge took off his clothes and stepped into the comfortable bathtub to take a bath.
"Comfortable!"
