Chapter 13 CHAPTER 12 : Slapping Away Some Arrogant Flies
The motel had three floors. The bottom floor had three compartments, the counter room, the waiting room, and a dining hall with the kitchen attached on one corner of the room. The other two floors above were for lodging purposes with various rooms.
Joey and his group went up to the last floor through the stairways along with the boy.
"Sir, these 17 rooms were for you. " The boy said. They all took their keys from Captain Chao and left for their rooms. Only Chao, Joey, and the boy remained.
" Hey, brat, don't you just stand there like a fool. Take a key, and you, too, should go check your room out. " The boy talked to Joey like an elder.
Captain Chao flicked at his head and scolded, " This is our young master. "
" Oops! Hahaha, young master. You really are good-looking." The boy laughed and sucked up to Joey. Joey took his key from Chao's hand and went to his room, leaving the two of them.
" Boy, do you have anywhere to stay tonight? "
" Hmm, no, sir. " The boy scratched his head and replied shyly.
" You are staying with me. You remind me of my son. Do you have any relatives here in the city? " Chao asked him.
" None, sir, I am an orphan," He said.
" Do you have any intention to join the army? I can recommend it to you. " Joey said to him.
" That is everyone's dream for us, street kids, here. We hear a lot of stories of brave warriors. Oh! My best idol is Hawk's eyes. " A twinkle appeared in the boy's eyes.
Captain Chao had a strong urge to laugh out loud heroically but stopped at last and said, " Ahem. Kiddo, let us get in. " And the two get inside their room.
After some time, everyone came out of their rooms and moved down the staircase to have their lunch.
When they reached the bottom floor, they met the man at the counter.
" Sir, how Is your accommodation? " The man asked politely.
" Satisfactory. " Joey replied.
" Can I help with anything else? " The man asked again.
" You can bring us to the dining hall. "
" This way, please. " Then the man led them to the leftmost corner and entered a room there.
When Joey entered the room, he could see that the dining hall looked like the traditional-style restaurant back on earth. He suddenly felt a nostalgic feeling.
Inside the room, the lighting was done as a number of spherical balls hanging from the ceiling where lighted candles were put inside them. Around ten round tables were placed inside the room, with five chairs each around them. On the walls hung various portraits of different beasts like dragons, phoenixes, etc.
Seven tables were already taken.
" We will take the remaining three tables. " Joey said to the man. Then, they walked toward the table. A waiter quickly came out, bringing three chairs for them. Then all sit at the tables with six people each. Afterward, the man excused himself.
Joey and Chao sit at the same round table.
" Everyone, the bill is on me today. Eat and drink your fill. " Joey said out loud while everyone cheered.
" Hahaha, I haven't eaten much lately. Today, I can go all out ." The fatty Xiaobo stood up and spoke out loudly.
" Damn fatty. Sit down quickly. You are embarrassing all of us here. " The petite Xiaoli scolded him while everyone laughed out loud, holding their stomachs.
" Xiaoli, you ruined it! Tch, what is wrong with you? I am not going to share my wine with you anymore ." The fatty retorted back. Hearing that, everyone began to roar with laughter.
A woman came up to their tables. She had a voluptuous figure, a bit tall ( 6.3 feet), and seemed to be in her 30's. Her skin was rosy white, and she had a beautiful rounded face. She wore a well-fitted red Cheongsam dress.
A thick smell of perfume drifted inside the room. And a clear female voice could be heard.
" Hello sirs, Chu'er is here to take your orders. Ahh, also, please check the menu on the wall there. " She pointed at the wall. They all looked at the wall reading the menu silently. The menu had the names of 7 special dishes and two wines.
" They all seem good. We will order all the dishes on the menu for all three tables here. " Joey said.
" Give us seventeen sets of ' sweet and sour pork ' and two barrels of white wine first. After that, you can bring other dishes one by one. " He added.
" Please wait for a moment. The dishes will be ready soon ." The lady said, bowed her head slightly, and walked away quickly.
" Young master, you are great. You ordered everything here in this kitchen ." The guide boy gave a thumbs up to him with a big smile. He called himself Kun.
A few moments later, seven guys came out holding plates in their hands, and they placed them gently at the table and walked back to the kitchen. Afterward, they came back with more plates, and thus all the 17 sets of sweet and sour pork were served on the three tables. Also, the two barrels of white wine were brought out.
Joey looked at Captain Chao with a signal.
" Time to eat everyone," Chao said. Then they started drinking and eating while chatting among themselves.
" Good wine, ha ha ha ." The fatty drank a glass of wine and spoke out loudly.
While the boy, Jun ate the pork very greedily, sometimes licking his lips and hands too. It was his first time having such decent food.
While eating and drinking, some of them chated, some cracked jokes, while some ate silently.
Joey, too enjoyed the meat and wine while chatting with them.
Suddenly a boy wearing a red hanfu dress walked inside quickly while holding a fan in his hand. Seven men followed behind him.
A waiter came out and bowed to them and said, " Sir, the tables are full at the moment. "
The boy whacked at his face with his hand-fan.
" Ahh, it hurts ." The waiter wailed, touched his face, and sat down.
" You stupid waiter. Why are you acting up with this young master ?" The young man said angrily, and he kicked at his head.
The waiter growled once more and covered his head with both his hands, afraid of getting more hit on his head again.
Suddenly the woman called herself Chu came out quickly, bowed slightly, and apologized," Sir, we will quickly arrange a table for you ." She winked at the waiter nearby to leave. The waiter left quietly.
The boy looked at her once and then around the dining hall. He could see those men wearing simple outfits were dining with wine while chatting happily.
This made him angrier. Then, he walked toward the table, brought out 100 gold and threw it into the table, and said out loud," Take that and leave quickly ."
" What the hell is wrong with you, boy? Get lost. " The fatty said while drinking up his cup.
" You lowly commoner. Don't you know your manner? Do you even know who I am? " The boy said arrogantly and continued.
" I am Wa..."
' Slap '
Before he finished, he was sent flying by a slap. Joey quickly moved beside him, made his hand 20 kg weight, and slapped the boy's face. The boy remained unconscious near the entranced door.
The five men quickly approached Joey, but fatty Xiaobo stood up quickly and punched them all. They all collapsed on the floor after just one punch from him.
Chun looked at Xiaobo and then Joey, and thought in her mind," This bunch seems to be not simple, especially this kid. "
She looked at those waiters one by one, waved her hands, and rolled her eyes signaling toward those unconscious bodies. The waiters quickly picked them up and brought them out of the room.
