I am a super cop

Chapter 497 Dafengmill Resort Hotel 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

Just after the New Year holiday, the flow of people in Jiangnan City suddenly increased.

As the population flows into the big city, every major station is the busiest time around the Lantern Festival.

Many mall stores are experiencing the first wave of shopping this year.

Since Jiangnan City prohibits the discharge of fireworks and firecrackers, and during the Chinese New Year period, the working group strictly checks all major neighborhoods.

Therefore, the air index in Jiangnan City during the Chinese New Year holiday has been in a good state.

But it also lacks the strong flavor of the New Year...

Gu Chen didn't take much rest during the Spring Festival holiday. Instead, he saved his holiday time together and traveled with his parents to other places after the Lantern Festival.

Seeing that there was only the last day of the holiday left, when Gu Chen drove to Dahe Town on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, it was already 5:20 in the afternoon.

Now there are two options in front of me, continue to drive for more than an hour, drive on the congested road, drive all the way home, and postpone the dinner time.

Another option is to stay in Dahe Town and go back home after lunch the next day after visiting Dahe Town.

And the family was surprisingly consistent in the way they chose the question, and everyone chose the latter.

"Son." Xiao Xiaofang rolled down the window of the co-pilot, enjoying the fresh air while admiring the beautiful scenery of Dahe Town, and said with a smile, "When the tourist resort project first started in this place, it was crowded with people."

"Looking at it now, tsk tsk, it feels like it's getting worse every day, and it feels like tourists don't come here very much."

"It's not because of vicious competition and slaughtering customers." Gu Chen said.

After all, many media in Jiangnan City have also reported that Dahe Town has accelerated the construction of a tourist resort project while making use of its own scenery characteristics.

However, due to deviations in the implementation of the plan, in addition to the group resort project, many natural villages in Dahe Town have followed suit and started their own resort plans.

For a time, various resorts opened up more and more, vicious competition and price wars did benefit many tourists at the beginning.

Therefore, for a considerable period of time in the past few years, Dahe Town has been synonymous with tourism, vacation and leisure.

However, with the constant vicious competition and crazy profit sharing, although tourists have benefited, various problems have begun to be exposed.

Resort projects among various natural villages began to lose money, and many projects could not be implemented.

As a result, the tourism and vacation experience is poor, the experience standard cannot be met, and some projects are cut.

Later, group-oriented tourist resorts took advantage of capital to integrate many natural village tourism and vacation projects, and began to form a partial monopoly.

Several companies specializing in resort projects hold the right to speak, so resort prices have also risen all the way, and many places have begun to collect tickets.

Although in the short term, the capital is making a lot of money, the subsequent wave of tourists retreating is also gradually happening.

Coupled with the continuous increase of various tourism experience projects in Jiangnan City in recent years, the resource advantages of tourist resorts in Dahe Town no longer exist.

Capital could not make money, so they began to withdraw capital one after another.

And now in Dahe Town, various tourist resort projects have also been stranded one after another, and have declined with the changes of the times.
The colorful farmhouse hotels originally built for tourism have also begun to be rented out at extremely low prices due to the absence of tourists.

The reason why Xiao Xiaofang chose to come here is also with the mentality of picking up the loopholes, because traveling in Dahe Town now is purely worth the money, and you can experience an unusual experience with very little money.

Gu Baichuan looked all the way down, and finally shouted at the door of several farmhouse hotels with colorful windmills: "Son, let's stay here, it looks good."

"Listen to you." Gu Chen doesn't care much about the choice, as long as mom and dad like it, that's his choice.

So Gu Chen turned the car to the right and parked in the yard of a farm hotel.

This side consists of eighteen independent windmills, each with a different color.

At first glance, the various color combinations give people a pleasing feeling. It is no wonder that Gu Baichuan was attracted by this hotel.

After getting off the car, the three of them came to the Tourist Reception Center, a larger windmill.

At the moment the hall was empty, Gu Chen went to the front desk and called twice, but no one answered.

But at this time, Gu Chen discovered that above the front desk, there was a sign saying "Call me if you need anything" with the boss's contact number on it.

"Dad, I don't think there is anyone here, are you sure you want to live here?" Gu Chen looked at Gu Baichuan and couldn't help asking him.

"Of course." Gu Baichuan walked up to Gu Chen, put his right hand on his son's shoulder and said, "Looking at this road, I feel that the buildings here have some characteristics."

"There are fewer people, but there's nothing wrong with being quiet, right? I just like this kind of distinctive hotel."

Looking at the sign on the table, Gu Baichuan immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it because there is no one at the front desk? I can tell that the business is not going well, so we can cut a good price later."

Looking at Gu Baichuan's confident attitude, Xiao Xiaofang walked around the hall twice and asked, "My husband, how much do you think it costs to stay in this kind of place for one night?"

"This..." Gu Baichuan looked out of the window. Although the windmills here are small, they are all single-family buildings. It is estimated that the opening of the house is also a building.

Looking at the various promotional posters pasted on the wall, Gu Baichuan probably knew that a windmill house was probably designed with two bedrooms and one living room, just enough for a family to live in.

However, since the price tag has already been removed, Gu Baichuan guessed: "It is likely to cost more than 1000 to stay in such a windmill house for one night, but seeing his business here is not very good, I guess it can be cut down to seven or eight hundred." Yes, if it’s not six hundred, I guess I can agree.”

"If [-] can open a windmill, it will be really cheap." Upon hearing Gu Baichuan's answer, Xiao Xiaofang immediately felt a real sense of missing something.

However, looking at the pictures, the decoration is not bad. It is estimated that the [-]-night windmill house is probably a dream, so Xiao Xiaofang didn't take it seriously.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "Then make sure to stay, and I will call the boss, are you sure? Anyway, I will pay the money."

Gu Chen has never had a chance to spend his money, so he also wants to be filial to his parents and spend the money he earns quickly.

After Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang looked at each other, they both nodded.

"Then let's fight." Gu Baichuan said.

Xiao Xiaofang also smiled and said: "It's still filial to have a son."

Under the various beeps of the two, Gu Chen ignored the wind and took out the phone directly. According to the reminder board on the desk at the front desk, he called the owner of the shop.

"Who are you?" Not long after, a pale voice came. Judging from the accent, Gu Chen could probably tell that it was an old lady in her 70s or [-]s.

"Hello, it's..." Gu Chen looked up at the background poster, and then said, "Is this the Windmill Resort Hotel?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" the old lady on the phone asked again.

Gu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to himself that you don't know anything about opening a shop?I felt a little curious, so I said again: "We will stay in the hotel."

"Stay... in a hotel?" The old lady was obviously stunned for a while, and then said after a while: "Oh, wait for a few minutes, and I'll be right over."

"Okay." Gu Chen readily agreed, and then hung up the phone.

Following my parents is also in the lobby of the tourist reception center of the Windmill Resort Hotel, walking back and forth to pass the time.

About five or six minutes later, a screeching sound of the brakes was heard at the door. An old lady in a thick floral padded jacket parked the battery car and walked slowly into the hall.

After glancing at Gu Chen's family, she walked directly to the front desk: "You are going to open a windmill, right?"

"That's right." Gu Baichuan stepped forward first and asked, "How much does it cost to open a windmill?"

"Give it two hundred and five." The old lady said casually.

When they heard "two hundred and five", Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang froze for a moment, thinking they had heard it wrong.

Such a nice windmill house, only two hundred and five a night?

Such a cheap suite is completely beyond imagination, okay?

Gu Baichuan couldn't believe it, so he asked again: "How much did you say?"

"Two hundred and five?" The old lady raised her head and instantly felt that something was wrong, so she changed her mind and said, "Oh, two hundred and five doesn't sound good, so let's give it two hundred."

Gu Baichuan: "..."

Xiao Xiaofang: "..."

Two hundred and five changes to two hundred, the quotation is like a game, is there such a casual one?
Both of them were secretly delighted. They said that they had heard that the tourism industry in Dahe Town was sluggish and the prices were very low, but they never expected it to be so low.

Compared with the hundreds of dollars for a flat in the urban area, this kind of windmill suite is simply the conscience of the industry.

Living here, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang felt like they didn't want money, and they were so happy that they didn't want it.

But this kind of joy should not be shown too much, for fear that the actual suite will not meet this standard, so Gu Baichuan asked again with doubts: "Is this windmill house like the poster on the wall? It won't be the same. ? After all, many hotels are party with pictures, and the reality is much different from the pictures.”

"It's the same." The old lady sat down on the chair and put her hands into the pockets of the cotton-padded jacket: "What's in the picture is what's inside."

"That's good." Xiao Xiaofang also looked at Gu Chen with satisfaction after getting the answer.

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to pay: "Where is the payment code?"

"You mean the QR code?" the old lady exclaimed.

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right."

"I can't play with that thing, you might as well pay cash." The old lady felt a little troublesome.

Gu Chen also took back his phone with a smile, took out his wallet and said, "Okay, I'll give you the cash."

After handing in the two Grandpa Mao cards, Gu Chen asked again, "Don't you need any deposit?"

"Deposit?" The old lady was stunned, and then she slapped her head and said, "Look at my memory, then you can give me whatever you want."

"Is it so casual?" Gu Chen felt that the old lady was interesting, and even wondered if the Windmill Hotel was under her management?

Not to mention that the telephone contact sign on the table was put on by the old lady herself, it would be embarrassing if it was really like this.

However, after Gu Chen took out a piece of Grandpa Mao again and handed it to the old lady as a deposit, the old lady took out a key from the pocket of the cotton-padded jacket and said, "Windmill House No. 11, where are you staying tonight. "

"What about the receipt?" Gu Chen still felt uneasy.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "We don't know how to write very much. It's troublesome to write. Besides, there are not many people here, so you can just go in and live. When you want to check out tomorrow, just call me again. I live in a nearby village."

"Then... that's fine." Seeing that the old lady is an easy-going person, Gu Chen didn't ask too much.

Coming to the trunk of the car, Gu Chen took all the family's luggage, and then walked to the gate of the No. 11 windmill together.

Along the way, Gu Chen found that many windmill houses were inhabited, which was completely different from what the old lady said.

But when Gu Chen looked at the tourist distribution center again, the old lady had already tied her head into a rice dumpling with a scarf, and left on a battery car.

"It's interesting." Gu Chen shook his head involuntarily, and opened the door of the windmill with the key.

Immediately, the luxurious decoration inside is instantly refreshing.

The family layout of two bedrooms and one living room is warm and elegant, and all kinds of furniture are also fully furnished.

There are sofas, color TVs, coffee tables and bookshelves in the living room, giving people a vacation-like enjoyment.

The guest rooms are divided into large rooms and small rooms, and the inside is also finely decorated, with all kinds of furniture.

And the most commendable thing is that there are two bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen and one bathroom. The kitchen can be used for cooking, which is completely the layout of the home.

Although the pointed building, with the windmill structure, does give people a refreshing feeling, and the windmill is driven by the wind and can rotate slowly.

"OMG!" All kinds of experiences were so real, Xiao Xiaofang was so surprised that she immediately spoke English.

She hurriedly asked Gu Chen and Gu Baichuan: "Son, husband, I think the village is not far from us, why don't we go and buy some dinner? We can eat in the windmill, so we can feel like home, right?"

"Okay." Gu Baichuan had no objection, and agreed directly.

Gu Chen waved his hand: "There's no need for the whole family to go, I'll just stay here."

"Alright." Xiao Xiaofang nodded and said with a smile, "My son is tired after driving all day, so he will stay here. I will go shopping with your father."

"Okay." After Gu Chen replied, he lay down on the sofa to rest for a while.

After his parents left, Gu Chen first turned on the TV and watched the basketball game for a while.

During the commercial break, Gu Chen heard some movement outside, so he got up and opened the door, and found several children playing badminton on the lawn outside.

Several adults passed by, carrying some freshly bought fruits and vegetables in their hands, and one of the women also carried a barrel of cooking oil in her hand.

"Do these people live here often?" Gu Chen frowned, feeling a little interesting.

Because I found out earlier that on the lawn in the backyard of the windmill house, someone set up a wooden rack to dry clothes, so I feel that the windmill house here is not unoccupied.

Seeing a few children playing badminton proficiently, Gu Chen walked out of the room and came to the group of children to observe as an on-site audience.

Everyone saw that Gu Chen was an unfamiliar face, but they didn't pay much attention and continued to play.

At this time, a thin middle-aged woman just walked in from the outside of the yard.

Also because there were too many things, the thin bag broke instantly, and a few red apples rolled directly to the ground along the direction of the rupture.

One of them happened to roll to Gu Chen's feet...

Gu Chen bent down, picked up the apple on the lawn for her, handed it to her with one hand and said, "Here, sister."

"Thank you, young man." The middle-aged woman also glanced at Gu Chen, and said with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Chen was an unfamiliar face, the middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Are you a new tenant here?"

"Tenants?" Gu Chen wasn't used to this kind of address for a while, so he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Isn't this a hotel? Just stay for one night temporarily."

"Oh." While excited, the middle-aged woman suddenly felt a little regretful, and muttered in a low voice: "I thought you were a new neighbor who moved here?"

"Have you been renting here?" Gu Chen also felt that this place was a bit weird before, and it happened to be someone to talk to, so he asked one more question.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, this place used to be a resort hotel, but after the tourism industry slumped, there were fewer people. The Big Windmill Hotel here also began to rent out its houses."

"Because the price is cheap, I rented one." Looking at several windmill houses around, the woman said again: "Look at these buildings over here and those over there, they are basically rented. There are still three or four buildings here that have not been rented out, for some tourists to live in."

Looking at Gu Chen's casual attire, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You should be a tourist, right?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded, and said with a smile, "But my family lives in Jiangnan City. I just came back from a trip today, so it's getting late."

"It just so happens that my family is also tired. If I go back to the city, I'm sure I'll be stuck on the road again. I'll just come here and stay here, and I can take a trip to Dahe Town tomorrow by the way."

"Very good." The middle-aged woman brushed her long hair and nodded with a smile.

Gu Chen asked: "Are you a foreigner? The accent doesn't sound like that of Jiangnan City."

"Yes, my family is from the southwest." The woman suddenly sighed, shook her head and said, "I divorced my husband and came to Jiangnan City with a few children. I feel that the climate and economy here are good, so I want to live here. Settle down."

"Then where do you work?" Gu Chen asked again out of curiosity.

"It's a supermarket in Dahe Town." The middle-aged woman said, "After all, I brought a few children with me. I just came to Jiangnan City, and I'm not familiar with this place, and I brought a few children by myself."

"I was afraid that if I lived in the urban area, my children would get lost easily, so I moved to Dahe Town with a few fellow villagers."

"I happened to find that the house here is cheap to rent, so I rented a house here with a few fellow villagers. After doing the math, I have moved here for almost half a year, and I am used to living here."

"Oh." Gu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to take care of a few children by yourself. It must be hard, right?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "It's okay, but the younger ones are a little noisy, and the ones who are in elementary school are okay. Basically, they live like this. I just want a new start."
