Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 243 The first night in the capital

Beijing North Railway Station!

"Woooo."

As the train's long whistle sounded, the green train slowly stopped at the platform!
Dongzi and others, who had already prepared to get off the car, were looking out the window at the tall buildings and the people coming and going. They had been in this state for more than half an hour.

In fact, as soon as the train entered the capital, these little brothers started to get excited when they saw the bright lights all over the city.

Only Li Yi remained calm while thinking about where to rest at night!

After all, it was after one in the morning and most of the guest houses were closed.

More importantly, Li Yi knows that it is really difficult to find a guest house in the capital right now.

There is no way, the investment in guest houses, hotels and the like is relatively large, and ordinary people really can't afford it, so the number is inherently small.

On the contrary, in the past year or two, the number of people in the capital has increased exponentially. These outsiders have come to stay in the hotel, so the number of guest houses is seriously insufficient.

In the case of an imbalance between supply and demand, the Beijing city government has to publicly call on powerful individuals or companies to open hotels and guesthouses to solve the problem of "difficulty in hotel accommodation".

So Li Yi actually had two plans when he came to the capital this time. The first choice was of course to open a hotel and engage in the catering industry.

If that doesn't work, then get a hotel!

But this is not Li Yi's first choice. After all, the speed of making money in hotels is still a bit slow, and there is no way to compare it with opening a restaurant.

More importantly, opening a hotel cannot drive economic development in the village.

Just as Li Yi was deep in thought, Dongzi's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Brother Yi, the door has been opened, can we get out of the car?"

Li Yi took a look and saw that most of the passengers had already gotten up from their seats and were moving towards the carriage door with their large and small bags of luggage!
"Don't worry, let them go down first, and we'll go down last!"

Li Yi said lightly that he didn't want to squeeze in with these people, and it wasn't like he couldn't get down.

After the other passengers had almost disembarked, Li Yi, Dongzi and others got up from their seats, then took their suitcases and walked towards the carriage door!

After getting off the bus, we followed the crowd out of the station and moved towards the outside of the station!

After coming out of the train station, it was already two o'clock in the morning!

Despite the cold wind, the little brothers were very excited.

The farthest place they had ever been was just Yunshan County, not even Ning City, let alone a big city like Beijing.

For the first time, they saw the wide asphalt road, the tall and majestic train station, and the street lights that were as bright as daylight in the early morning. Everything here surprised them.

"Brother Yi, where are we going now?" Dongzi asked.

He is the smartest and most mature among these little brothers, so he is the first to ask about the next arrangements after being curious.

Li Yi looked at the big and small signs hanging near the train station, and then said: "Find a guest house to stay for one night, and then find a place to stay tomorrow!"

"Row!"

Afterwards, Li Yi took Dongzi and others towards the nearest guest house.

However, when I knocked on the door of the guest house, I was told that there were no beds available.

That's right, most of the guest houses in Beijing now don't talk about rooms, but only beds.

If you want to stay in a room alone, then reserve all the beds in the room.

Since there are no beds, Li Yi and others can only find another guest house!

The depressing result was that they searched seven or eight guest houses but still couldn't find the right one.

Either there are no beds at all, or there are only one or two beds, which cannot accommodate the five of them.Although Li Yi had anticipated such a situation in advance, the thought that he might take his little brothers to sleep on the street on his first day in the capital still made him feel a little depressed.

And just when Li Yi was thinking about asking a taxi driver to help find a guest house, suddenly a young man in his twenties came towards them.

"Comrade, are you staying in a hotel?"

Li Yi looked at him carefully. The young man had a face with a Chinese character and his eyes were firm, not erratic.

"Stay, where do you have room for the five of us?"

"Enough, but we can't accommodate so many people in one room, so we have to divide it into two rooms!" the young man replied.

"Okay, lead the way!"

"Don't you want to ask about the price?" the young man asked curiously.

"It's not my first time in the capital. I still know how much a bed costs." Li Yi said lightly.

"Then let me tell you in advance, our bed costs 8 cents a night!"

"Eighty cents, this shouldn't be a regular guest house, right?" Li Yi said immediately.

He knew that a hotel in Beijing now costs about two or three yuan a night, and an ordinary guest house costs one to one and a half yuan.

A guest house that costs 8 cents is most likely a black guest house!

The black here does not refer to black shops that rip off people, but the kind of underground private guesthouses that have not been registered with the relevant departments.

The young man smiled coquettishly and said, "You are right. Our guest house has indeed not been registered. Do you want to go?"

"Lead the way!" Li Yi said.

Although Li Yi also knows that these small guest houses are not safe, they have no other choice now.

After all, it's almost November now, and the night temperature in Beijing can reach several degrees below zero, but unlike July and August, it's okay to stay outside for one night.

"Okay, please!"

With that said, the young man led the way ahead of Li Yi and others!
I followed this young man along the main road near the train station for about 10 minutes, then turned into an alley, and walked for another five or six minutes, finally stopping in front of a small yard.

At this time, the young man knocked on the door and then walked in with Li Yi and others.

After entering, Li Yi found that this was a standard courtyard house in the capital. Facing the gate was the main house, the side rooms on the left and right, the courtyard to the south, and the patio in the middle.

Although it looks a bit shabby, it is quite clean.

The young man opened a room and said to Li Yi: "Comrade, take a look at the room first. If you are satisfied, you can move in!"

Li Yi immediately handed the suitcase to Dongzi, and walked into the room to take a look.

An ordinary small room, with an area of ​​no more than 20 square meters, contains three single wooden beds and a large iron stove.

The furnishings in the room are not to mention, the bed sheets and quilts are just passable, and the hygiene is pretty good.

The situation in the other room is basically the same, except that there is an extra small water tank in the room.

"The room is okay, but don't put anyone in the other bed. We've booked both rooms!" Li Yi said.

"Then you get the price of 6 beds!"

"Row!"

The young man checked the letters of introduction from Li Yi and others, and checked them in after confirming that there were no problems.

And Li Yi and others have finally settled down, and will not sleep on the street on the first page of coming to the capital!
