Chapter 678 Managing the Inn

Li Changxiao checked into the Lailu Inn and found his room on the first floor of the inn. After opening the door, I saw the situation inside, and I couldn't help but laugh for a moment. I don't know when it was transformed into a storage room, but a small bed remained in its original position.

A ray of setting sun streamed in through the window, and the dust in the air was clearly visible. Li Changxiao rolled up his sleeves and moved the sundries out of the room one by one. He put them in the backyard first. After the room was cleaned, he would consider where to put them.

Li Changxiao spent a long time at Laiwen Inn and was far more familiar with it than Qing Xiao. When he comes back, he is like a master coming home, no need to be polite at all. Qing Xiao also knew that Li Changxiao had a close friendship with Mei Sanniang and others. When he saw that he had finally returned, but all his old masters had left, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I also thought that at least I would have a companion in the future, and I was secretly happy.

Qing Xiao went over to lend a hand and help carry the sundries. He went back and forth dozens of times, and he couldn't help but complain, "Why does the landlady keep stuffing everything into this room?" After he checked into the inn, despite his personality, he kept the inn in order. , spotless. But he didn't have much desire to explore. He had never explored some structures and rooms in the inn.

It was actually inconvenient, so Mei Sanniang left the inn to him for the time being, but she might come back in the future. Qingxiao didn't dare to act rashly, so he always maintained his original appearance and took care of the environment, and no longer made any oversteps.

Li Changxiao had never opened the Qingxiao Gate in this room. Now it's very troublesome to take care of it. Li Chang smiled and said: "She expected that I would come back again, so she deliberately put the sundries away just to keep me busy."

Qing Xiao's mind was shaken, and she nodded repeatedly. She felt that the person who knew Mei Sanniang best was Li Changxiao. This shady and evil behavior is indeed like what Mei Sanniang did. He secretly sighed at the deep friendship between the two of them, fearing that they would not only have the feeling of hugging each other for warmth after the spiritual energy was exhausted, but also be close friends with similar souls and similar temperaments.

Qingxiao didn't dare to move in and out of the inn, but when he came to Li Changxiao, no matter how rash he acted, he would make a big hole in the east and a big hole in the west. When Mei Sanniang came back, she would just curse and be more impatient. , it means close combat and will never really get angry.

Or thinking of certain scenes, Qing Xiao smiled after a long time, but then sighed again. The road is cruel and the beauty is short-lived. He was once not afraid to move forward, but now he always looks back.

It took the two of them a long time to vacate the room. Li Changxiao opened the east and west windows. A gust of wind blew in, bringing in a cool and fragrant fragrance. All the ashes immediately dispersed. He patted his whole body hard and shook off a piece of dust.

If Mei Sanniang, the cook, and others were present, they would definitely make fun of him for this, causing a lot of excitement. Finally, out of "morality", I also started to help take care of it. But now it is empty, and the dust all over his body only tells that Li Changxiao has not been back for a long, long time.

He missed the departure of one person after another. Now, he is the only one left as the old owner of the inn.

Li Changxiao took a broom and cleaned the inside and outside. Then he went to the clear spring in the back mountain, fetched a large basin of cold water, poured it on the ground, and wiped it with a rag. If three or five people were here, it could be done in an afternoon, but with just Li Changxiao and Qing Xiao, the efficiency was extremely slow. It was late at night before they could finally check in.

Under the night, Li Changxiao and Qingxiao sat opposite each other, worrying about what to eat. Qing Xiao went outside to pick some side dishes, cooked them for a while, and then ate them.

Qingxiao said: "Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, but this place can be regarded as a safe place to live." Li Changxiao nodded in agreement. This place is self-sufficient, has a beautiful environment, is quiet and peaceful, and is indeed a pure land.

He lay on the table with no interest, and spent the whole night like this. The next day, Li Changxiao thought that after finally coming back, it would not make sense if he only cleaned his own room.

So I took a broom and swept it inside and out. But when he pushed open the rooms of Mei Sanniang, the cook, Guan Bai, and the second master, he closed them silently and stopped moving.

Their scent still lingered inside, so Li Changxiao gently closed the door.

Qingxiao heard that there was a market going on in a town fifteen miles away, so he rushed to join in the fun and buy some necessities. He was thinking of buying some clothes, bedding, barrels, and other items for Li Changxiao. But he didn't call Li Changxiao because someone needed to stay at the inn.

After Qing Xiao left, Li Changxiao sat behind the counter, looking at the open door of the inn and the green scenery outside. He held his head for a while and was bored.

At the counter, there was a money bucket containing more than ten scattered copper coins. The styles of copper coins are different, including square, round, and long strips.

He was just bored, so he took out a few pieces, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at them slowly. Then I realized that there were many countries standing near the Lai Qu Inn, and each country had its own copper coins. Occasionally, when someone passed by the inn here, they would pay with their own copper coins.

Nowadays, the geographical shrinkage is extremely serious, but with the development of the times, the land is almost divided up by the country, and there is no longer a terra nullius. Whether it is a human or an animal, the expansion of territory is instinctive. This also led to constant wars and territorial disputes every year.

Li Changxiao put the copper coins back into the money box and saw a tag next to it with the hotel price written on it. It was still an old style, and it was the price that he, Mei Sanniang, and the cook sat around a dining table and spent an entire night discussing the price a long time ago.

That was the time when the three of them were running the inn with the most care and attention. I especially remember that in order to increase the business of the inn, Mei Sanniang asked Li Changxiao to put on a bamboo hat and a long sword on his back, and go to a fork in the road three miles away from the inn, pretending to be an expert, attracting outsiders to pass by the inn, and increasing the traffic volume.

As a result, several ghostwriters came and thought that Li Changxiao's behavior was strange. They thought that Li Changxiao was a fugitive and wanted to arrest him and bring him to justice in exchange for money. In the end, Li Changxiao had to punch each of them before they all left.

In fact, there have been frequent wars recently, and the price of people's livelihood has fluctuated greatly. The price of Laiqu Inn has long been extremely unreasonable. But it has not been changed, which also shows that Mei Sanniang has long lost interest in running this inn.

Li Changxiao gently stroked the tag with the price engraved on it, thinking that since he came back, he would make Laiqu Inn better.
