My 1978 Hotel

After sending the manuscript, Li Feng sorted out the letters from readers. Lately, there have been fewer letters, so I'm afraid new articles are coming out. Recently, many magazines and periodicals have been re-launched, and with more and more articles, the influence of Scars has gradually decreased.

After packing up the letters, Li Feng carried them back to the ox cart.

"Is the matter settled?"

"It's done. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things and then go back."

I still had some cash in my pocket, but it would have been a waste if I hadn't used it. It would have been nice to buy a few bottles of wine to take back and put at my B&B. Unfortunately, the commune supply and marketing cooperative didn't have any good wines, let alone Moutai and Wuliangye. However, some of the scattered goods were quite interesting.

"Hey, what is this?"

Li Feng had originally planned to leave after buying two bottles of local Xinghua Village wine, snacks, toothpaste and other daily necessities, but he passed by a basket and saw some bones in it, which looked quite big.

“Tiger bone.”

"A tiger was killed over at Nanshan."

"What's the matter?"

Li Feng was a little confused. "Are there still tigers in the mountains these days?"

"That's right. I haven't heard of it for many years. I didn't expect it to happen this year. The tigers have come out of the mountains. I'm afraid there's nothing to eat in the mountains." The speaker was a middle-aged woman. She was quite familiar with Li Feng and knew that Li Feng was a writer. He received subsidies from the county and the region, and some tickets were sent by readers. He had no shortage of money or tickets.

"Then why did you just collect the bones?"

"I collected it as a medicinal herb."

Wang Xia said, "I heard tiger bones can be used to make wine, but I didn't know. The county said it was okay, so I collected some."

"If you want, I'll give you some."

"Hey, okay, how much is it?"

"Give me two dollars and take two back."

Li Feng paid two yuan and selected two leg bones. There weren't many bones, and they probably didn't sell anything else. "Thank you, that's all."

"By the way, do you sell tiger meat?"

Li Feng planned to buy some and stew it for his two little kids to try. Of course, he would also take some back to his hometown for his parents. He heard that this thing is good for the legs and feet, and his father's feet have not been very healthy in recent years.

"What's so good about tiger meat? I heard that a young man killed it this time and didn't pay attention to bleeding, so the meat is very sour." Wang Xia said indifferently. Tiger meat is similar to beef and needs to be acid-removed. The person who killed the tiger this time was an inexperienced young man.

The tiger skin was intact, but the meat was in a state of disarray. It was ruined and unpalatable, but of course I wouldn't throw it away. After all, it was meat, and drying it and stewing it would definitely be better than dried sweet potatoes. And even though it didn't taste great, it was still good for the body. I heard it could strengthen bones and muscles.

The children enjoyed the food, but Li Feng felt a little sorry that the supply and marketing cooperative didn't buy tiger meat. "Sister Wang, do you know which village this tiger hunting is in?"

"Da Liu Village."

"Da Liu Village, why does it sound so familiar?"

Li Feng muttered. "It's not far from Hanjiaba, right?"

"Where? It's at least 20 to 30 miles away from your Hanjiaba." Wang Xia put down the soy sauce bottle and helped Li Feng pack some candies. "Here, half a pound of fruit candies."

"Oh."

Li Feng took it and found that the things he bought were already complete. Li Feng did not keep any more because he was still busy. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative and putting the things on the ox cart, Han Anmin was secretly amazed. Why did he buy so many things?

"Huh, tiger bones?"

"Have you met An Min?"

"When I was a kid, there were quite a few of these in the mountains. I even caught a few in the dam," Han Anmin muttered. "Where did you get this? I haven't heard of any of these in the mountains in recent years."

"It is said that a young man from Da Liu Village killed one."

Li Feng approached Han Anmin. "Anmin, do you know Da Liu Village?"

"Of course not. My wife's uncle's house is in Daliushai. Maybe the tiger was killed by his boy." Han Anmin joked.

"Really, Anmin, I want to get some tiger meat. Of course, it would be even better if I could sell the tiger skin. I plan to send some to my aunt. Her legs and feet are very uncomfortable in the winter. I heard that eating tiger meat is effective, and tiger skin is very warm."

"Well, okay, I'll ask for you later."

This place is a bit far away, and the news may not come for three to five days. It is unnecessary to make a special trip just for such a small matter. Li Feng muttered in his heart when he saw Han Anmin agreed. It may take some time to get the tiger skin. After all, it may take until the end of the year for this thing to be produced by nitrate.

He was a bit worried about the tiger meat. The weather was too hot, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get fresh tiger meat. He could only get some dried tiger meat. Never mind, at least he still had two leg bones. After returning home, Li Feng put the rice and flour he had bought in the kitchen.

He only had two tiger bones and some wine left and was carried back to his room. Wu Tong and Qin Yue were curious when they saw him. "Hey, big bones, why is there no meat on them?"

"For making wine."

Li Feng replied casually.

"What kind of bones can be soaked in wine?"

“Tiger bone.”

"what?"

Not to mention Wu Tong, Qin Yue, Li Muchen, and Wu Zhenhua all became interested and walked over. "Tiger bone?"

"Yeah, it's fresh. It's still fresh."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Well, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and got two good ones. I plan to make some medicinal wine. I also got some Polygonatum sibiricum here. I'm going to make some Polygonatum sibiricum tiger bone wine. You can try it when the time comes."

"Newly killed, there are still tigers here?"

"They said they haven't seen it for years. This year's drought is so severe that there's nothing to eat in the mountains, so they came out. Who would have thought they'd get beaten?" Li Feng could only sigh for the tiger, saying it was born at the wrong time. Normally, if it came out, nothing would happen to anyone. But this year, with such a drought, not to mention you, a tiger, even a panda would be eaten this year.

“It really is tiger bone.”

Wu Zhenhua took a look and realized it was indeed a fully grown tiger. What a shame! If it were to happen in the future, it would definitely be a major discovery. "But tiger bone wine is difficult to make. It requires someone knowledgeable. Otherwise, it would be wasted."

"Uncle Wu, do you know anyone in this field?"

Li Feng slapped his forehead. He thought he had taken it for granted and thought that tiger bone wine could be made by simply adding tiger bones to the wine.

"I will help you ask."

Wu Zhenhua usually doesn't pay much attention to this area, but he has a few friends in this area, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Wu."

The tiger bones couldn't be wasted. Of course, there were state-owned factories producing tiger bone wine, such as Tong Ren Tang, which used genuine tiger bones to make the wine. The tiger bones, wine, and polygonatum would have to be put aside for now and taken back that evening.

During the day, Li Feng once again acted as the master chef. There was no other way. His cooking skills were now better than Uncle Spoon's, and everyone was happy to eat his dishes. This made Han Fuluo, the number one chef in Hanjiaba, depressed.

He didn't want to talk or cook anymore. It was too depressing. Li Feng's appearance made him feel like he had been living like a dog all his life. What a failure.

"Uncle Spoon, don't be discouraged. Sooner or later you will catch up with me."

Li Feng originally wanted to say this to Han Furuo. After all, he would not have much time to practice the big pot cooking skills from now on, and his skills would probably be just like that. As long as Han Furuo studied hard and practiced every day, he might be able to catch up with him in his lifetime.

Li Feng opened his mouth but didn't say this in the end, mainly because he was afraid of being beaten. Uncle Shaozi was a crazy guy. Li Feng thought it was better not to say it, otherwise he was afraid that he would not run fast enough and Uncle Shaozi would die.

"Don't mention it, your cooking skills are getting better and better. The eggplant and pumpkin stew is really delicious, much better than the one I cook at home."

"Uncle, don't say that. If my aunt hears it, you might not even have dinner." Han Anbing said with a smile.

"What's the matter? I'm telling the truth. If your aunt hears it, she won't dare to give me the cold shoulder if I don't tell her..."

Well, Li Feng didn't say anything. He really wouldn't give it to you later because he was afraid it would be found on him. "An Bing, I'm going back first. Tell Uncle Shaozi later."

"Don't worry, you can go back first."

Back home, Li Feng took some of the razorfin loach and some of the pickled game he'd collected and put them in his bedroom. "No, I need to get my royalties soon and get a house in the county town. I'll have to move there from now on. Otherwise, these razorfin loach and game will be discovered to be something fishy sooner or later."

When everyone arrived at the bedroom that night, Wu Zhenhua and Wang Yin were still a little nervous, but Wu Tong, Qin Yue, Li Muchen, and the Gao Jiucheng brothers were already used to it. "Grandpa and grandma, don't be nervous. We'll be back in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang is fine."

Li Feng opened the Spacetime Hotel, and the first option that popped up didn't surprise him. "Minor repair, consumes five points of popularity."

"Huh?" Li Feng clicked on the popularity value and it was actually there. "What the hell, 7/1000?"

Li Feng clicked on it and realized that the popularity value is the number of people brought here. Now there are seven people here, Li Muchen, Gao Juecheng brothers, Wu Tong, Qin Yue, plus Wu Zhenhua and Wang Yin and his wife.

As for the one thousand required for the upgrade, doesn't that mean you need to bring at least nine hundred and ninety-three people to upgrade? Li Feng was a little speechless. "This guy's popularity is really troublesome. He doesn't count the number of people. The same person comes a thousand times and still counts as one popularity point."

Really, doesn't this mean I have to find more people myself? Li Feng scratched his head. This is a bit troublesome. If he doesn't upgrade, not only will he not be able to carry a lot, he won't be able to experience the dungeon like the Siheyuan. It will be difficult to get a box of treasures like last time.

"Fix it."

Aunt Wang's health wasn't good. Five points of popularity could only provide the lowest level of light repairs. There should be some effect, but how much, Li Feng couldn't say. "Repairs complete."

“That’s really fast.”

In a moment, a group of people brought loaches, some pickled game, Polygonatum sibiricum, tiger bones, and Li Feng asked Han Anmin to help buy some old things. In fact, there were not many good things in the mountains. There were some Yuan Datou coins, copper coins, and he was lucky enough to receive an old silver ingot.

"came back?"

Wu Zhenhua exclaimed, it was really magical, he didn't notice that Wang Yin's face beside him was actually a little rosy.

"Grandma, how are you feeling?"

"pretty good."

Wang Yin was quite surprised. What happened? She knew her own physical condition very well and felt much more relaxed now. "Hey, what happened?"

"what happened?"

Wu Zhenhua was a little nervous.

"I feel a lot more relaxed."

Wang Yin was puzzled, and Li Feng swayed a bit beside him. "Boss, are you okay?" Gao Ju and Gao Cheng hurriedly supported Li Feng.

"It's okay, I just consumed a lot of energy. Aunt Wang, are you feeling better?"

"Better, isn't it?"

"nothing."

Li Feng wiped the sweat off his face and looked like he had exhausted a lot of energy.

"really."

Wu Tong and Qin Yue looked at each other. "Boss Li, is my grandma feeling better?"

"Ah, I can't do that, but it's definitely better."

Li Feng thought to himself that he must tell this story, otherwise he would be doing good deeds without leaving his name. He was not that kind of person. "Auntie Wang, you should check your body later. I think you will feel better."

"Oh, what a pity."

Li Feng said helplessly. "I don't have enough ability myself. Otherwise, the most I can do is help Aunt Wang improve her physical fitness and increase her resistance."

"Really?"

Wu Zhenhua was already shocked that Li Feng could actually travel through time and space, and now he had another surprise. If that was true, then if he went there a few more times and repaired the condition a few more times, his wife's health would get better. Even if she wasn't fully recovered, her physical fitness and resistance could be enhanced, so she could live a few more years.

This is simply a miracle. Wu Zhenhua was amazed. Wu Tong and Qin Yue knew something about it in advance, and now it has been verified. Although they are surprised, they can accept it. Li Muchen, on the other hand, is the same as Wu Zhenhua. He did not expect that traveling across time and space would have such benefits.

"Uncle Wu, it's actually not as good as you think."

Li Feng said helplessly. "Every time I use it for repair, it consumes a lot of energy. I'm afraid I won't be able to use it in the short term."

"what."

"Why is it happening like that."

Wu Tong was a little flustered, but Wang Yin smiled. "It was great just once. I didn't expect to be able to go back again. I have no regrets now."

"Boss Li."

Wu Tong looked at Li Feng in panic.

"Well, let's put it this way. Aunt Wang, please stay in the B&B for a while longer. The health banquet will actually have some effect. Take your time. There will definitely be a chance within the year." When Li Feng said this, Wu Zhenhua, Wang Yin, and Wu Tong were delighted.

Even if Wang Yin was more open-minded, she would definitely be willing to live longer if she could. "Well, it's getting late, Aunt Wang, you should go to bed early too."

"Uncle Wu, you and Aunt Wang should take a rest."

Wu Tong and the others were all guests, so Li Feng couldn't entertain them. Fortunately, Gao Jiu and Gao Cheng helped him clean up after a while. It was already early in the morning when he returned to the room. Li Feng didn't clean up much. He took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning, Li Feng woke up a little late. It was almost nine o'clock when he woke up. He quickly reached for his phone. He was going back to his hometown today, and it was late. He was afraid that Han Zhaoxia was already ready to leave.

"Hey, why are there so many calls?"

Li Feng hurriedly called back.

"Asahi, are you guys here?"

"No, the car broke down."

Han Zhaoxia said helplessly. "I just contacted the repair company, and they said the gearbox is broken. The problem is serious and it might take several days, or even ten days at worst."

"broken."

That's true, but the family car was bought when Li Ran was a child. It's been around for over ten years, so it's normal for it to break down. "Is that so? I'll think of a way."

"This is what happened."

Everything was planned for my return home, but now everything is messed up.

"Brother, I need your help."

"Boss Li, if you have something to say, please tell me."

"That's it."

Li Feng's car had a problem. His wife and two children were at the auto repair shop. He decided to take a taxi, but there were too many things and he was afraid that the taxi would not be able to fit them.

"Look, can you lend me your car?"

"Boss Li, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. I'll go get your car keys for you."

Li Muchen went to get the car keys while speaking.

"Thank you very much."

Li Feng waited for Li Muchen to take the key, thanked him, and hurried out. Wu Tong and Qin Yue came over and asked Li Muchen what was going on. "This is what happened."

"Boss Li's car broke down?"

Wu Tong and Qin Yue looked at each other. They were just thinking about how to thank Li Feng. You said giving him money is too vulgar, but if you give him something else, you really don't know what he needs. You can't give him a house, it's too low in value and it seems insincere.

"How about sending a car?"

Wu Tong and Qin Yue said at the same time.

"I'll call Dad."

Wu Tong called her father and briefly explained the situation.

"you sure?"

Although he didn't mention the time-travel hotel, he only said that Li Feng had devoted his energy to treating his grandmother, with good results, and now wanted to give her a gift. It just so happened that her car broke down, so he thought of giving her a car. However, Wu Tong's father didn't agree immediately and called Wu Zhenhua instead, with the same result.

"Yan Qing, although Boss Li is young, he is really capable. Don't treat him with disrespect."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know."

Are you kidding? Wu Yanqing is no fool. His father's words and deeds all hinted at something: this man is a remarkable man. Even if his mother's illness can't be cured, she can still live a few more years. This guy, let alone one car, he would be willing to give ten cars, even a hundred cars. (End of this chapter)
