I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 235 Staying in a Hotel

Seeing that there was no danger, Xu Changge thanked the shopkeeper and prepared to find an inn to stay and rest with his men.

But Xu Changge searched for a long time but didn't see any sign of the inn.

"Brother, I would like to ask where the inn is."

"Inn, you mean hotel, right? Look, this is it." The passerby pointed to a hotel on the side of the road called Five Star Hotel.

"Why is the inn here called a hotel? I thought it sold alcohol."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, Young Master Yue just said it casually, and then everyone changed to the hotel." The man said with a smile.

Xu Changge thanked him and walked in with his men.

"Hello, are you staying at the hotel?" A neatly dressed middle-aged woman came up to greet me.

Xu Changge was distracted for a moment, then he thought that Qingzhou was different from other places. Here women could be treated the same as men. He said, "Yes, there are eleven of us here, including me, one upper room and five lower rooms."

"I'm sorry, sir, these are the only room types we have now. Please take a look." The woman smiled and pointed to the sign hanging on the wall behind her.

There were only the room types written on it, and the appearance of the room was painted with colorful paint. There was also an explanation and price behind each room type, which should be for outsiders like them to see.

Xu Changge thought it was very considerate and the rooms were not expensive, so he chose a standard king-size room and five twin rooms.

After paying the rent, several guys took them to the second floor.

"Sir, this is your double room. Here is the key to the room. Please keep it." The waiter handed over the key with both hands and smiled.

"Well, thank you." The young man's attitude made him feel very comfortable, so he thanked him.

Xu Gege opened the door expectantly. The room was clean, tidy and bright because the windows were also made of glass.

The sunlight shines through the window into the house, making it feel very warm.

Xu Changge's eyes fell on the big bed. The sheets, quilt cover and pillows on it were very white.

Xu Changge frowned. Only dead people would use so much white.

Xu Changge left the room and happened to see the young man coming over, and couldn't help but question him angrily.

This was not the first time the young man had been questioned, he was already used to it and explained with ease.

"Sir, this is the characteristic of our Chengnanfu Hotel. We use white cloth to show you how clean we are. Think about it, people come and go in the inn, and there are all kinds of people. Who knows how many people have slept in the same bed. If someone is sick, wouldn't it be a disaster... Our government has regulations here. These items in the room will be cleaned and disinfected immediately after each resident moves in. Please follow me."

Xu Changge felt that what he said made some sense, so he followed him in.

"Sir, look, what does this white color mean?"

"clean?"

"Yes, you sleep in such a clean place. You must feel at ease, right? Why don't you sit down and try it?"

Xu Changge thought that was right. If he was forced to sleep on a bed that had been slept on by a dirty or sick person, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.

And all the inns in Chengnan Prefecture are like this, so I should just follow the local customs.

Xu Changge sat down. The soft feeling under his butt startled him.

The young man smiled and continued, "Why don't you try lying down again?"

Xu Changge lay down after hearing that.

The softness and faint fragrance beneath him made him not want to get up.

"Sir, please come with me for a moment. I will show you how to use our bathroom."

"Bathroom?" Xu Changge sat up and asked puzzledly.

"Yes, you come."

Xu Changge stood up and followed him to a small house next door.

Only then did he notice that there was a small room inside the house.

"Sir, this is the place to wash your face. Twist it and water will come out. This is the place to take a bath, but it is not recommended because the weather is cold. If you want to take a bath, just ask us to fetch water. Because we can't get hot water now. Young Master Yue said that he will slowly ask people to find a way to study and modify it, and hot water will be available in the future." The young man said and demonstrated.

"This is the place for going to the toilet. Just press this and you can flush it clean. There won't be any smell." The young man pointed to a squat toilet.

Xu Changge never closed his mouth, how did he do that? ? Water came out with a twist. Is this... is this where the gods live?

"This... Is Master Yue here a god? This... How did he do this?"

"Hahahahaha, Master Yue might really be a god, because this is all Master Yue's idea. Then the adults in the engineering department researched and built it. Now it is slowly becoming popular. In a few years, everyone in Qingzhou can have a home like this." The boy was proud and yearning. His favorite thing was to see these outsiders look shocked and unworldly.

"Sir, if you have any problem, just pull the rope at the head of the bed. We can hear which room's bell it is from downstairs and come over. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. You should have a good rest."

"Okay, okay." Xu Changge was a little dazed. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to express himself.

After the boy left, Xu Changge played with the faucet for a while and then lay down on the bed.

He had never slept in such a comfortable bed, it felt like he was lying on a cloud. He fell asleep before he knew it.

After waking up, I was still thinking about where to buy a bed to make my mother comfortable.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Changge called his guards to go out for dinner and a walk. The others had gone out to eat and a walk while he was sleeping. Xu Changge was a little angry. How dare these people not call him. Humph!

Xu Changge walked aimlessly on the street with his guards. The street was brightly lit and crowded with people.

The lively feeling made him feel as if he was walking at a temple fair in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Changge walked around for a while and came to a restaurant called "Cao's Beef Hotpot".

"Can we eat beef here?" Xu Changge widened his eyes.

However, the law stipulates: "Whoever kills horses and cattle privately shall be sentenced to one year of hard labor." In other words, anyone who privately slaughters cattle and horses shall serve one year of hard labor.

"Sir, are you from out of town? Come in and try our beef hotpot. Eating beef is illegal elsewhere, but it's different in Qingzhou. There are several large cattle farmers here. Hahahahaha, we can't finish eating it. We simply can't finish it."

Xu Changge was relieved when he heard this. He had been craving beef for a long time. The last time he ate beef was a few years ago when he bought a dead cow leg.

When the waiter heard that they were from Jiangnan, he recommended a shuangyuan hotpot to them and enthusiastically taught them how to eat it and how long to blanch the meat.

Xu Changge enjoyed the meal very much and felt that his tongue was about to fall off due to the delicious taste.

Especially this spicy hotpot, the more you eat it, the better it tastes. The waiter also recommended their special white wine.

Xu Changge ordered a bottle and asked the guard to sit down and eat and drink with him.

Next to me were the voices of other guests who were visiting the area.

"Oh my god, I don't want to leave. This place is so damn good. I'm going to go back and sell the shop and move here with my wife and children."

"I want to, too. I really envy the people here. They don't have to pay agricultural taxes, their children go to school for free, and they can learn to read. There's also the clinic run by Dr. Ge. I had a headache a while ago, didn't I? I went to many doctors but none of them cured me. I went to Huichuntang, and what do you think? It's cured!"

"Really? Then I'll have to move here. My wife got hurt when she gave birth, so I'll bring her over to see you."

"A few years ago, I heard that a woman named Yue led other women to seize Qingzhou and proclaimed herself king. I thought it was a joke. Who could have thought that they would build Qingzhou into this state? What do you think those people in the court do for a living? So many people are not as good as these women?"

"I was narrow-minded before. Now I also hope that the local officials who govern us can be like Master Yue..."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Nowadays, the court's actions are becoming more and more incomprehensible. The officials are exploiting them more and more, and it is impossible for them to survive...

Listening to the loud conversations of other guests beside him, Xu Changge's heart was in turmoil.

His curiosity about Qingzhou grew instead of diminishing. He wanted to explore more new things and events.

And what kind of woman is Yue Gongzi? How can she be so powerful that she doesn't seem like someone from this world?

Xu Changge looked out the window while being drunk.

The ancient city wall in the night is more majestic under the lights, and the lights are as bright as stars. The surrounding market stalls are bustling with people, and all kinds of fragrances are overflowing. The moon is high in the sky, and in a trance, it seems as if you are in the fairyland...
