1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

392. Chapter 387 How Do I Use This Toilet? (1/2)

Zhou Xiaoying was extremely nervous, especially when the elevator went up.

She was very scared, her whole heart was in her throat, but she still kept smiling, for fear that the accompanying female manager would find out.

The female manager sent them to the door of the room. Instead of leaving immediately, she introduced the room:

"Mr. Hibi, this is the bathroom, this is your closet, and this is the phone. Currently, you can only call the front desk."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Thank you, no need to introduce anymore, I am familiar with these things."

"Okay, Mr. Hibi, do you need dinner? There is a 24-hour French and Western restaurant on the second floor, and the bar on the first floor is open until two o'clock."

Li Duoyu thought for a while.

In the past two days, I was either in the car or busy, and all three meals were not on time. In addition, Zhou Xiaoying was so angry with her cousin today that she even forgot to eat dinner.

Li Duoyu said: "We are a little tired, can we send it to the room?"

The female manager smiled and said:

"Okay, just wait for me for a moment and I'll get you the menu."

Not long after, the female manager came over with a Japanese menu.

Fortunately, it is bilingual, with Chinese characters on the top and Japanese on the bottom. Otherwise, Li Duoyu would be really embarrassed. He speaks Japanese very smoothly, but he is really not good at Japanese.

Menu, the first one is cold dishes:

A dish of Jinling salted duck costs 11 yuan.

Soviet-style smoked fish also costs 10 yuan.

Generally speaking, there are quite a lot of Chinese dishes on the menu, including Tianjin roast duck, but the price is nearly three or four times more expensive than outside.

You don’t need to eat this kind of thing inside, you can also eat it outside.

Since everyone has come to live here, let's order something different. Li Duoyu thinks that Western food is not delicious.

But I can't stand being fashionable.

Steak, butterfly puff pastry, ice cream, American shrimp, and cake.

Li Duoyu wanted to give Zhou Xiaoying something different to experience. After all, he was tired of those things, but that didn't mean Xiaoying was tired of them too.

Li Duoyu smoothly finished ordering the Western food.

The female manager Su Yang said: "Do you need drinks? We can arrange a candlelight dinner for you."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Candlelight is fine, but red wine is not necessary. My wife has not been feeling well these past two days."

"Understood."

When the female manager left, Li Duoyu took out a five-dollar foreign exchange coupon and put it on the menu in front of her.

The female manager quickly said:

"Thank you."

Although the hotel has express regulations not to accept tips, it is hard to resist the enthusiasm of these foreigners.

Their wages are not high, but as long as they can serve foreigners, many people are rushing to get them.

For example, the doorman who helps carry luggage, the one who takes the luggage to the room, and the one who helps serve food. Everyone is vying for these three positions.

Because as long as there are enough tourists, the tips they receive are several times the wages of ordinary employees.

When the female manager Su Yang finished her orders in the restaurant and returned to the front desk, she found that the waitresses were talking among themselves.

They were all discussing the two foreign guests who had just checked in.

"That woman's clothes are even more vulgar than ours, and she has plastic shoes on her feet. She looks like one of us at first glance."

"Do you think it's possible that that woman is Mr. Hibi's lover in China? In order to allow her to stay in the hotel, he deliberately said that he lost his travel document."

"It's hard to say, but it's really possible."

"I'm so envious. Mr. Hibi held her hand from beginning to end and seemed to love her very much. I wish I could find a foreign man like this."

Female manager Su Yang said:

"Stop thinking about it. This thing depends on fate. If you insist on joining in, they might get tired of playing with it and throw it away like a rag. Have you forgotten Cuiyun?"

After hearing this name, the smiles of several girls disappeared instantly. The man named Cuiyun was their colleague.

A year ago, I was still a person that everyone admired very much. He was very beautiful and fell in love with a foreign guest while he was working as a waiter.

The two have been inseparable for a while. Everyone thought that she would follow her foreign boyfriend to live in a beautiful country and start a rich life from then on.

Unexpectedly, after her foreign boyfriend got tired of playing with her, he left nothing but a seed for her and went back to his country.

Cuiyun's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone advised her to have the baby removed, but she firmly believed that her foreign boyfriend must have encountered some difficulties, so he didn't contact her.

Because she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, she was directly fired from the hotel. In order to give birth to a child, Cuiyun even married a big fool.

Her family members were completely disgraced because of this incident, and her mother was so angry that she almost hanged herself.

Seeing the female manager Su Yang mentioning this matter again, the girls immediately calmed down. A waiter said: "I think the manager is right, we local men are more reliable."

"Xiaolin, I heard that you and Chef Zhang are in love?"

"Bullshit."

After Li Duoyu closed the door, Zhou Xiaoying's eyes turned red on the spot, and big tears fell down.

But here, she didn't even dare to cry loudly.

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Why are you crying again?"

Zhou Xiaoying sniffed and looked aggrieved: "I'm not scared by you, just stay in an ordinary guest house. If we stay in a hotel that welcomes foreign guests, if someone finds out, we might all have to be sent away." Go to the bureau."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "The timid ones will die of starvation, and the bold ones will die of gluttony. We paid real money to come here, and we didn't cheat them. Besides, I don't like their discriminatory behavior."

Zhou Xiaoying glared at him:

"Speak softly, don't let others hear us, or call comrades to arrest us later."

"This restaurant is not our home, the sound insulation is very good, even if there is creaking, the neighbors may not hear it."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying was angry and annoyed, her face flushed, and she stepped on him in anger.

Li Duoyu, who was in pain, had a bitter face: "Don't step on my shoes, these shoes are bought by you, I treasure them."

"Humph."

Then, Zhou Xiaoying spent several minutes to calm down.

To her, today was really too magical, and her mood was like the sea waves on a typhoon day.

The TV, refrigerator, washing machine, tape recorder, and Li Duoyu's fishing boat were already the limit of her imagination.

But since she stepped into this hotel, everything was turned upside down, just like Granny Liu in the novel visiting the Grand View Garden.

The revolving glass door was really beautiful, she had never seen such beautiful glass before.

And the thing called the elevator really scared her, and her legs were a little weak when she walked up.

But she didn't expect that she would reach the 30th floor in just a few words.

And everything in this room was like a work of art to her.

Not only was there a beautiful floor lamp, but also a very beautiful desk and a large bed that looked very high-end at first glance.

Next to the bed, there was also a telephone.

There was a watercolor painting hanging on the bed, and a 21-inch TV was placed right in front of it.

To her, this room was really perfect, and the floor was very clean.

Zhou Xiaoying quickly took off her plastic shoes and changed into the hotel's slippers.

Unexpectedly, the plastic slippers provided by the hotel were even more comfortable than the ones she was wearing.

Zhou Xiaoying still didn't want to believe that they really lived on the 30th floor. She walked to the window and looked out slightly.

His pupils suddenly dilated, his legs involuntarily weakened, and he dared to continue looking down by holding onto the wall.

The pedestrians on the road were like ants, and the houses seemed to be the size of matchboxes.

"Duoyu, we are really on the 30th floor."

Zhou Xiaoying leaned against the wall and looked out the window. Li Duoyu thought she was a little funny and cute.

He walked directly to the window: "This is really the 30th floor." "It's so high, why aren't you afraid?"

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I lived in a higher place when I was investigating the island country."

Zhou Xiaoying then remembered that Li Duoyu had been to the island country for nearly a month to investigate, no wonder he had just walked through the revolving glass door and taken the elevator.

"Are all the houses in the island country so high?"

"No, there are only a few big cities with high buildings."

Just as they were chatting in a low voice, someone knocked on the door, and then the voice of the female manager came.

"Hello, Mr. Hibi, the dinner you ordered is ready. Can we eat now?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly became nervous and ran directly to the bathroom.

Li Duoyu opened the door.

The female manager wearing gloves pushed a bronze double-decker dining cart in.

After she came in, she placed the Western food on the dining cart on the desk and placed a silver candle holder.

"Mr. Hibi, all the food you ordered is here. Do you want me to light the candles for you?"

"Sure."

After lighting the candles, the female manager smiled and said, "After you finish your meal, just call the front desk number and we will have a waiter come to clean up the dishes, or I can come to clean up in two hours."

Li Duoyu replied, "I'll call the front desk."

When the female manager Su Yang left, she said, "By the way, Mr. Hibi, there is a revolving restaurant on the 36th floor of our hotel. It can rotate once every hour. You can sit still and see the whole scenery of Jinling. If you need it, can I reserve a seat for you?"

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. I have something to deal with tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Hibi."

"Have a good meal."

After the female manager left, Li Duoyu pulled Zhou Xiaoying out of the bathroom, who was staring at the big mirror in a daze.

"Don't look at me, you are prettier than those waiters."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "You are lying, how can I be that pretty? That female manager is much prettier than me."

"She has put on makeup, you are almost the same without makeup, you must be prettier."

"You are lying."

Although Zhou Xiaoying was stubborn, she was very happy in her heart. What she didn't expect was that Li Duoyu turned off the lights in the room the next second, leaving only the candlelight.

"What do you think? Is it romantic?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned slightly: "Isn't this the same as our home? Now there is a power outage on our island, don't everyone eat dinner with candles?"

Li Duoyu was stunned, as if it was really the same as what his wife said.

Is it romantic?

It seems that for the people of Dandan Island, this seems to be a daily routine.

After Zhou Xiaoying sat down, she suddenly became troubled: "Duoyu, why are there only knives and forks? Did the waiter give us less chopsticks?"

Li Duoyu smiled:

"Western food does not use chopsticks."

"Then how to eat."

Li Duoyu pursed his lips: "Western food. Of course, this kind of thing is fed to women by men."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned slightly. From his tone, she knew that he must be talking nonsense that she couldn't understand.

Seeing Li Duoyu holding a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, he quickly cut off a piece of beef.

Zhou Xiaoying followed suit, but found that it was very difficult. The knife was not sharp at all, and the beef tendon could not be cut at all.

Just at that moment,

She almost got anxious. She could obviously use scissors or a sharper knife. Why did she have to make it so troublesome.

After cutting the steak, Li Duoyu forked a piece of beef with a fork and put it to Zhou Xiaoying's mouth: "Don't be stubborn, open your mouth."

Zhou Xiaoying puffed her mouth, ate the beef into her mouth, and then chewed it.

"How does it taste?" Li Duoyu asked.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said: "Not bad, but a little fishy, ​​it doesn't feel very cooked. It would be better if it could be more cooked."

Li Duoyu was stunned.

Zhou Xiaoying's words were definitely a critical blow to the chef who made steaks, but Li Duoyu, who was a chef, could not refute it.

Li Duoyu looked at this very authentic medium-rare steak and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, just like Chen Yuansu, who wanted to make traditional Japanese food at the beginning, but eventually became a fried food shop.

Li Duoyu felt that if the steak served today was a steak with black pepper sauce and mushroom sauce, Zhou Xiaoying would probably like it very much.

"What about this shrimp ball?"

Zhou Xiaoying nodded and said, "It's delicious, but I don't think it's necessary. Shrimp is sweet and doesn't need seasoning."

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes: "Yes, you are right, these chefs are really adding unnecessary details."

Li Duoyu found that Zhou Xiaoying was not very interested in these Western foods because she had been living on the island, and she didn't know what Western food meant to city people now.

Fortunately, she didn't take her to a Western restaurant, otherwise the chef would probably vomit blood after hearing what she said.

However, Zhou Xiaoying also had something she liked to eat: "Duoyu, what is this icy and soft thing?"

"This is called ice cream."

"This is delicious."

However, halfway through the meal, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly noticed the handwritten price next to the table. Although she couldn't read Japanese, she understood the last number.

At this moment, she felt very distressed because this Western meal cost her three months' salary.

Li Duoyu hurriedly said: "Xiaoying, you don't have to eat so cleanly. If you come here today and eat too much, your stomach will hurt."

"Too expensive."

A candlelight dinner that was not romantic ended just like that.

Li Duoyu called the front desk directly.

Not long after.

The female manager came up and took away all the tableware and wiped the desk clean.

After a day of tossing, Zhou Xiaoying wanted to take a shower in the bathroom, but she couldn't find the washbasin after searching for several times.

"Where is the washbasin?"

"Where can I get hot water?"

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoying didn't understand anything, Li Duoyu ran to the bathroom with ill intentions and pulled up the shower curtain.

As the sound of dripping water rang out, Zhou Xiaoying's face turned red like a tomato.

"You can go out now."

Li Duoyu said shamelessly: "We have to wash together, otherwise there will be no hot water later."

"It's summer now, don't you wash with cold water?"

"I just said it wrong, if we don't wash together, there will be no water later."

"Rogue."

In the middle of the night, Zhou Xiaoying, who was lying on the Simmons bed, tossed and turned. Until now, her brain was still very excited and she couldn't sleep at all.

And Li Duoyu couldn't sleep either. Although Li Xiaoer was very excited that day, he could only bear it.

"Your relative, you came at the wrong time. Such a good bed is wasted like this."

Zhou Xiaoying also felt that it was a bit of a waste. She didn't want to sleep at all, but after lying for a while, she suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach.

So she ran to the bathroom.

After a while, Zhou Xiaoying's voice came: "Duoyu, how do you use this toilet?" (End of this chapter)
