"A small town like this, and it even has top-grade rooms?" Yang Chuxia’s dismissive tone made the hostess pause.
After taking a few deep breaths, she smiled and said, "Though small, it has all the essentials. Here, not only are the rooms divided into top, middle, and lower grades, but even the nu is categorized like that."
"Oh?" Yang Chuxia laughed, "Do you an that the sa dish can have three different flavors here? Those staying in top-grade rooms taste it one way, while those in lower-grade rooms have a different taste? Where did you find such a chef who can manage this so well?"
"Haha, madam, you hit the nail on the head," the hostess laughed, "You’re not wrong at all. Take our nu, for example. Those in lower-grade rooms don’t even get a nu to see, and the nu for middle-grade rooms isn’t complete. As for the dishes, take this radish and at stew. For those in top-grade rooms, there’s more at than radish, but for those in mid-grade, there’s more radish than at. Then there’s the stir-fried chicken; the top-grade dish has color, aroma, and flavor, but the mid-grade one lacks sauce and oil."
Ye Liu and the others, hearing this, kept their heads down, their lips twitching uncontrollably.
"The hostess is quite straightforward," Yang Chuxia remarked with a smile, "Aren’t you afraid of the guests in middle-grade rooms overhearing you?"
"What’s there to fear?" the hostess waved her hand, "Our place, called a town, was originally just a village. It gradually beca a town as so outsiders moved in. We’re far from the prefecture, barely seeing a few outsiders in a month. This guesthouse hasn’t had anyone for half a month. So, who would hear what I’m saying?"
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia looked around the guesthouse, finding it truly empty.
But the hostess ntioned earlier that the town’s original residents were all from the sa village, which explains why they know each other well.
This makes the problem even bigger; it seems that everyone in the town knows the two traffickers Yangyang caught last ti.
"I see," Yang Chuxia nodded, "Hostess, we’re staying in top-grade rooms today. Make sure you don’t skimp on the salt and vinegar, or add random ingredients to our dishes."
"Yes, yes, it’ll be perfect in color, aroma, and taste."
The guesthouse was quite efficient. After finishing her al, Yang Chuxia returned to her room. Ye Liu left two people behind and led the others out through the window.
In the harem of the guesthouse, the hostess and the host were whispering to each other.
"Wife, should we act? This new arrival looks like good rchandise, could be sold for a good price."
After much consideration, the hostess shook her head, "Don’t act. Though this new arrival is good rchandise, they clearly aren’t simple folks. Those n must be guards, all well-trained. They obviously co from a big household; we can’t afford to ss with them. If we act recklessly and bring trouble to the town, it’ll be problematic."
"But it would be such a pity not to," the host said, "There hasn’t been much inco lately."
"What are you afraid of? Our kids are out there, as long as there’s inco from outside, we won’t starve," the hostess added, "I swear there’s sothing strange going on here. The last few visitors have all been unusual. Even a little child carries poison casually. The n following them are all well-trained, and so are the recent ones."
"Who knows?"
The hostess continued, "I wonder how Shunzi and his wife are doing, being taken away by that kid. I wonder if they managed to escape."
"What are you worried about? Even if they didn’t escape and got caught, so what? We have connections in the governnt."
