Chapter 320 Qingshan Hotel
This is the price on the price list posted on the wall downstairs. A single room with a king-size bed like this costs $3.50 a night.
Although it was much more expensive than other hotel rooms, and even twice the price of a guesthouse, she was willing to grit her teeth and stay for a night in a room decorated like this.
"Can this be false?"
Old Lady Lan said with a proud look on her face.
If she were asked to stay in a hotel outside, three dollars and fifty cents a night would be a sky-high price for her, and she would not be willing to stay there even in the imperial palace.
But if it were her own hotel, charging three dollars and a half a night, Old Lady Lan would still worry about Lan Xin. How long would it take to earn back the hundreds of thousands of dollars she spent on building the hotel?
She wished it was twenty or thirty yuan a night.
Yes, she is so double-standard.
But this hotel belongs to Lan Xin, and the price and other things are decided by her. It’s better not to interfere in the matter, as she is an old lady who has never even stayed in a guesthouse.
After visiting not only the single king-size bed room, but also the suite upstairs with a double bed and even two luxury suites with large glass windows facing the mountain view, Manager Huang felt relieved, but he was even more eager to stay there for a night.
He thought that when the bank closed, he would bring his wife and children here to enjoy a night in this soft and luxurious foreign-decorated room.
"Mom, Manager Huang... come down, the auspicious time has come..."
At this time, several people heard voices shouting from outside the window. Looking out from the bright window, they found that everyone downstairs had gathered in the open space at the entrance of the hotel.
Lan Qing was waving his hand, reminding the people upstairs.
"Oh, what time is it now? Is it the auspicious time?" Old Mrs. Lan slapped her thigh and asked nervously.
As I watched this, I forgot about time.
Well, it’s not Old Lady Lan’s fault. This old woman has never seen such beautiful things. She said she brought Manager Huang and the others up to have a look, but she herself was fascinated by it as she looked at it.
She couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart. The old woman had finally waited for such a good time. Such a beautiful house actually belonged to her daughter!
Manager Huang lifted up his clothes, revealed his watch and looked at it: "There are still fifteen minutes until nine o'clock. We still have time to go down now."
"Auntie, let's go down together and walk slowly. We'll still make it in time." Manager Huang said, trying to help Mrs. Lan walk downstairs.
But Old Lady Lan walked so briskly that Manager Huang and the others followed her all the way, worried that Old Lady Lan, who seldom walked up the stairs, would slip. In such a cold winter, it would be a real pain if she fell.
But his idea was unnecessary. Although Old Mrs. Lan didn't often walk up the stairs, she was used to walking on the rugged mountain roads. This mountain behind was just like her back garden. She walked there when she was young and she didn't stop walking when she was old. There was no possibility that she would not be able to walk and fall, not to mention these flat stairs.
She can walk with her eyes closed!
When they ran downstairs, Mrs. Lan's breath had not changed at all. Instead, Manager Huang and the other young men were breathing heavily.
Seeing this, Old Lady Lan shook her head and said, "Young man, you still need to exercise more. You are no match for an old lady like me."
Manager Huang bent over and waved his hands, unable to understand why he could not compare to an old lady like Grandma Lan.
Finally he thought about it and decided that it must be because he was wearing too many clothes!
A group of people gathered in front of the lobby door, chatting and laughing. It was so lively that it seemed as if the fierce cold wind didn't make them feel cold at all.
As time passed, Lan Xin's heart also rose with them, feeling both excited and nervous.
When the auspicious moment arrived, a long string of firecrackers with a thousand bangs hung from the second floor was set off. Amid the fireworks, Lan Xin gently pulled the red cloth covering the sign. The bright red cloth strips floated down with the wind, revealing a huge four-character sign behind it.
Qingshan Hotel.
This is the name of the Lyceum Hotel.
She didn't think of any fancy names. She wanted people to remember that this was a hotel located in Sanqing Mountain, so that people would know her hotel when they mentioned Sanqing Mountain, and would know that the hotel was in Sanqing Mountain when they mentioned it.
The words "Qingshan Hotel" are simple, catchy and easy to remember.
Even though it is only eight o'clock, a large number of climbers have already set out and arrived at the foot of the mountain. After hearing the lively sound of firecrackers, they quickly turned around and came over to watch the fun.
"Oh, Qingshan Hotel, a hotel has opened here?" A man in his sixties, wearing a cotton coat, squinted at the hotel sign.
The woman of the same age next to him said to him, "I told you a long time ago that there was a big poster on the wall surrounding this place saying that it was going to be a hotel. The blueprint was so beautiful, with European-style decoration. It was so gorgeous!"
As soon as they saw the two elderly people in front of them were interested, Lan Xin and the others greeted them, "Big sister, you have a good memory. This is the hotel written on the wall before. Do you want to come in and take a look at what the hotel really looks like? It's different from the one in the picture."
After hearing Lan Xin's warm hospitality, the woman felt a little embarrassed, but she was also eager to try.
"Oh, my home is nearby and I'm not staying in a hotel, so how can I find out?"
"Even if you don't live here, you can come in and take a look. If you are satisfied, you can promote us. Besides, it's winter now, it's good to come in and have a cup of brown sugar ginger tea to warm your body."
Lan Xin and her friends are not the kind of people who are too arrogant and don't care about their customers. Their hotel is meant for people to stay in, and they will warmly welcome everyone.
There was no internet in those days, and people’s opinions on the quality of a shop were based on their hearts and mouths. These people were obviously people who lived nearby and often climbed Mount Sanqing. If they met tourists on the mountain, they could advertise their hotel by mentioning the name of their hotel, and tourists would be convinced to stay for a night.
After hearing Lan Xin's enthusiastic hospitality, the two old people were obviously impatient. The woman glanced at Lan Xin again:
"Let me tell you first, I have no money, so I won't stay in a hotel."
"I know, I know. How much does it cost for a glass of water?" Lan Xin invited the two into the lobby. When they saw the hotel lobby which was completely different from those simple-style guesthouses, their eyes widened and their hearts began to beat faster.
The two looked at each other and muttered, this hotel is so well decorated, how much does it cost to stay for one night...
Old Lady Lan listened to their words with keen ears. She pointed to the large price list on the wall behind the counter and said, "We are a conscientious business. The prices are clearly written. They are very cheap. There are also photos of the rooms listed. If the room is different from the photos, we will definitely refund it."
After listening to Old Lady Lan’s introduction, the old couple squinted their eyes, moved closer and looked up at the wall. They saw the price list at first glance and their hearts skipped a beat.
I couldn't help but think that this is not expensive at all. This price is enough to stay in someone else's guesthouse for two nights.
