Chapter 626, Leisure Daily in the Plague Period

Chapter 26. Leisurely daily life during the plague period

Half a month later, in India, Bihar, the Buddhist holy land of Bodh Gaya, the newly opened "Golden Lotus" luxury hotel

——After defeating the T-virus with the extraordinary immunity trained by the water of the Ganges River, Chandler, who returned from another world, was worried about the secondary infection due to the dire situation of Vicha Village full of patients and poor sanitation. Mr. La Shukla had just recovered a little, so he fled his hometown in a hurry with his sick body, rushed to the nearby tourist resort Bodh Gaya, and found the most luxurious hotel to stay in, preparing to escape the high incidence period of the "new type of flu" here .

And Wang Qiu and his party also moved here, on the one hand, to observe nearby, just in case, on the other hand, it is tantamount to self-isolation, and it is not convenient to return to China for the time being - although the global zombie crisis will not appear However, an "Indian flu" caused by a weakened version of the T virus is still raging across the world, causing commotion in most of the world, including China...

Under such circumstances, relevant parties believe that it is better for Wang Qiu and the others to stay abroad for a few more days.

At this moment, the torrential rain that raged all night finally released all its energy on the eve of sunrise, and it stopped for a while, allowing this fertile land moistened by the Ganges to enjoy a short moment of tranquility.Immediately afterwards, the first light of dawn at dawn, like a sharp long sword that cut through the night sky in an instant, pierced through the originally dark purple-black world, making the roofs of thousands of households shine in the morning light.

And in a luxury suite on the top floor of the hotel, Wang Qiu, who was lying on a large carved bed, also slowly woke up in the morning light.

"... Heh... It's so dazzling... So it's already dawn..." A slightly hoarse moan slowly came out from the depths of his throat.Next, Wang Qiu finally yawned and opened his dry eyelids with a trace of residual tiredness.

In an instant, a bright light shot directly into his field of vision, causing him to shed tears involuntarily. He had to quickly tilt his head to avoid the dazzling sunlight, but his originally chaotic consciousness also quickly disappeared. wake up.

The next moment, he noticed the mature female body beside him with skin as white as beautiful jade and faintly exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

——After experiencing last night's entertainment, Ju Chuan Shizuka was curling up lazily in the comfortable bed, her bumpy and charming naked body was only covered with a very thin sheet, outlining her exquisite and beautiful curves.A head of blond hair that shone like the sun was also swayed naturally without any artificiality... As if she felt the movement from Wang Qiu's side, she also mumbled a few times while still sleeping soundly, and moved slightly. As a result, only The quilt also slipped off, exposing two balls of snow-white and greasy agar, exuding a rich and sweet smell.And the two smooth and delicate slender jade legs are also stretched out without any cover, making the most private secret garden at the base of the thighs suddenly spring up, which is simply tempting to commit crimes.

The bright morning light coming in through the window rendered her wonderful naked body like a dream.The fair skin, delicate facial features, and smooth long golden hair all reflect hazy colorful spots under the refreshing morning sun.

This is really... the visual enjoyment that only the legendary "winners in life" can have!As soon as I got up in the morning, I saw such a beautiful scenery. Even though I had admired it many times before, Wang Qiu couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little dizzy, and his chest was throbbing, and he wanted to jump on it immediately. I used it to hold down this good friend who can be rubbed, hugged, stroked, and pushed down. I touched, hugged, rubbed, licked, and licked to vent my burning desire... until a burst of exhaustion seemed to come from the bone marrow. , came from his body, which made Wang Qiu temporarily stop his actions.

Then, he remembered that because he was extremely bored, he seemed to have used too much of the authentic Tianzhu oil last night, and he did it four times in a row... Rao has a strong body that has been strengthened many times, comparable to Captain America. The body is already a bit too much

"...Uh... Let's be a little more restrained! You can't die on a woman's belly like someone I've seen before!"

He sighed, muttered softly, turned around and got off the bed resentfully, then put on his clothes with the gentlest movement, and then tiptoed out of the room, lest he wake up the blonde beauty who was still lying on the bed and dreaming soundly ...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Walking out of the bedroom of the luxury suite, there is a luxuriously furnished living room outside, full of extravagance, just like a Victorian-style British aristocratic manor - golden cashmere carpets under the feet, exquisite landscape paintings on the walls, There is a refreshing mint scent in the air, the tables and chairs are exquisitely hollowed out, and all kinds of copper and silverware are also polished, as if there is a sense of luxury everywhere.

Wang Qiu sat directly beside the teak table covered with a white tablecloth, pulled a rope by his hand, and a bell rang outside the door.After a while, a team of hotel servants in neat uniforms came in and served Wang Qiu, the distinguished guest, for breakfast.

The entire dining process is as follows: First, a servant came forward, put a large silver-plated plate in front of him, and tied a napkin for him;

Then came a servant with a large tray in one hand, and poured black tea from the silver jug ​​in front of him, with lemon and honey, into the cup in front of him.

Then a second servant came with a large tray in one hand and put a small bowl of green mung bean curry on his plate;

Then a third servant came, holding a large tray in one hand, and placed on his tray a cup of white hot milk and a small dish of sugar cubes;

Then a fourth servant came, holding a large tray in one hand, and placed a bowl of yellow chicken curry on his plate;

Then the fifth servant who held a large tray in one hand came over and put a small straw basket containing mini-sized Indian parathas;

Then a sixth servant, holding a large tray with one hand, came and put the knife and fork on his special request (Indians usually eat directly with their hands).

Finally, the seventh servant came over with a large tray in one hand, and put a white porcelain plate with a sizzling hot fried egg inside.

After all the food was served, the eight servants returned to the door, stood neatly in a row, and bowed to Wang Qiu.If Wang Qiu didn't signal them to go down, they would respectfully watch until Wang Qiu finished eating, and they would be ready to fulfill any order of Wang Qiu at any time.

During the whole process, the eight servants circled around Wang Qiu alone, and everyone was so polite, every action was so meticulous and orderly, and all the knives and forks were polished... It is simply the pomp of princes and nobles.

Of course, since it is a ostentation like that of a prince and aristocrat, it is natural to charge a price like that of a prince and aristocrat-Wang Qiu has to pay 5000 rupees for every day he lives in this luxury suite, which is equivalent to [-] RMB...In the average monthly salary of middle-class white-collar workers In India, which is only [-] rupees, the luxury enjoyment at this price is enough for most people to look up to.But Wang Qiu doesn't need to care about this small amount of money, it can be reimbursed anyway.

However, although the enjoyment and decoration here are like a palace, as long as you turn around and open the curtains, you can see a row of black and low bungalows spreading to the sky. The luxury hotel is also the same inside and outside, with resplendent chandeliers, carpets and high-end furniture inside, as well as 24-hour air-conditioning provided by the central air conditioner. As soon as you go outside, you will see a stinky dirt road and groups of dirty homeless people.

In addition, this high-end hotel has more Indian features. What impressed Wang Qiu most is the astonishing number of service personnel. The number of waiters, servants, doormen, etc. is at least two or three times that of hotels of the same level in China. .But at the same time, these guys are also surprisingly "lazy": many small tasks that can be done by only one employee in China, such as serving tea, delivering water and cleaning tables, but in Indian hotels, three to five people must work together!One of them is only responsible for serving tea, one is only responsible for pouring water, and the other is only responsible for cleaning the table, and there is also a little foreman next to him who gives orders!

The rigid and trivial division of labor is enough to make the Japanese, who are world-renowned in this area, feel ashamed—in their concept, many tasks seem to be insurmountable: if you fry eggs, you cannot be responsible for delivering things, even if No matter how idle you are and no matter how busy the person handing things is, you will not pass the dirty pot in your hand to the dishwasher.So Indians often need to mobilize a lot of people to do a very simple thing, and one of them must start like the foreman, otherwise everyone will not know what to do.The most exaggerated example is that when Wang Qiu wanted to send a fax to the country, it had to be collected by a foreman in the hall, and then passed to an assistant, who then passed it to the doorman who sent the fax.Even if the doorman was standing next to Wang Qiu, he would not accept the original fax from Wang Qiu, but would call the foreman over and repeat the above process!

At the beginning, Wang Qiu thought it was some kind of stupid way to ensure employment, just like the state-owned enterprises in the late Soviet Union that "you pretend to have paid wages (rubles under the rationing system can't buy anything) , we pretended to have done the job", it just feels embarrassing.But then, when chatting with Mr. Chandra Shukla about this matter, he learned that the reason why high-end hotels in India need so many service personnel is not because the boss wants to pretend to waste money and hire more staff. people, but because of an obscure concept found nowhere else: caste!

In India, all servants must be very strictly classified according to their surnames as "job types", and the rules cannot be messed up.For example, in India, the mansions of rich people and high-end hotels that cater to rich people usually employ the best chefs of the Brahmin caste, because the rich themselves are often of the high caste of Brahmins or Kshatriyas, and they can only eat food made by Brahmins. food.But a Brahmin chef is also a noble person, and he can cook, but he can't do the "low" work of serving people, such as serving dishes, so people of low castes have to be used as waiters.But even Indians of lower castes are generally unwilling to do more humble jobs such as cleaning toilets, so they have to find untouchables to do this.Since each type of job has to find a special person to do it, it cannot be exchanged at any time, and one employee cannot be allowed to take on multiple jobs, or to take over shifts when necessary, resulting in a huge waste of human resources...

This is relatively light. In ancient times, India’s servants had a more detailed division of labor, including special housekeepers, dog walkers, those who yelled and chased prey during hunting, those who ironed clothes, those who poured toilets, those who carried sedan chairs, and those who were in charge. Those who carry the obese owner up the stairs, wash the owner's feet, manage the garden, drive away mosquitoes, feed pets, etc., and each "job" has a special name, which can be described as complete.What's more, the name of this type of work is often the surname of Sudra or Vaisya, which means that each type of work is hereditary and cannot interfere with each other.Rich people have to hire a lot of exaggerated people if they want everything in their lives to be taken care of and strictly follow the "rules".As a result, there was a very particular Indian Brahmin rich man who even came up with something that needed [-] servants to serve his family of six!

But from another point of view, this is really an amazing style of princes and nobles.After all, from the East to the West, high society is associated with luxury, and the so-called luxury is tantamount to waste - spending time and drinking, singing and dancing feasts, BMW luxury cars, it is a luxury to waste money, but let hundreds of people serve you A person who wastes human resources recklessly is also a higher-grade luxury!

Even in ancient China, "A Dream of Red Mansions" describes a certain family's ostentation, always saying that there are hundreds of people cheering and hugging when they leave the house, instead of talking about how exquisite the family's sedan chair is or how expensive the horses are... In comparison, those banking giants on Wall Street in the United States who earn hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars a year, but only have a few maids in their villas, by this standard, they will become small families. !

It is also for the same reason that high-caste rich people in India don’t like to immigrate to foreign countries. Many Chinese feel a little strange. In China, many people think about immigrating and changing their nationality as soon as they become rich, especially in the entertainment industry It was extremely exaggerated, and even made an embarrassing incident that there were almost no Chinese actors in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".But why do the top richest people in India seldom immigrate abroad?It is because in their view, only in India can they enjoy all kinds of exaggerated privileges that conform to the "rules", allowing so many people to serve them meticulously.

All in all, through the extreme waste of human resources and the method of using a large number of people to serve a distinguished guest, the service provided by this Indian high-end hotel is indeed impeccable in terms of software, but the hardware has to be restricted by the general environment—— The electricity is good. The hotel has its own large diesel generator, which can maintain 24-hour power supply in case of frequent grid failures.The tap water is also so-so. The hotel has its own filter and cleaning device. Although the water provided to the guest rooms is still undrinkable, at least it is no problem to take a bath and rinse your mouth.However, the hotel's wifi service is not working, there is only one wifi IP per room, 60 hours of free time are allocated for a week, and the internet speed is very slow and intermittent.Even in the most luxurious suites.In today's era of "digital survival", this problem is really terrible.

So, after swiping on the tablet for a long time and still not being able to connect to the website, Wang Qiu had no choice but to leave the suite with many servants and go to the coffee shop downstairs to use the free internet—the signal there is relatively good. Smoother.After he finally connected to the Internet in the coffee shop, he was not surprised to see that various websites were full of explosive news about the current global "Indian flu"...
