My 1978 Hotel

Li Feng stopped Li Muxiao's idea in time. Are you kidding? This idea is too dangerous. Let's deal with the current problem first.

"Second dick."

Li Feng waved and called Guo Gao to come over and asked him to take Li Muxiao to learn carpentry. As for himself, he had to take a stroll to get rid of the overly shocking ideas in his mind and let them air out. He was almost bewitched by Li Muxiao.

Li Feng knew his own worth, and feared that if he really listened to Li Muxiao's words, it would bring disaster to the country and the people. "This guy almost agreed, but no, I can't think about it anymore. I have to solve the housing problem in the county first."

“I wonder when the novel will arrive.”

Li Feng tinkered with it for a while before returning home to enter the simulation scene to learn carpentry skills. Not to mention that there were all kinds of tools and several famous teachers here, Li Feng could already make some relatively simple furniture such as small tables and chairs in just one morning.

"good."

Li Feng was quite satisfied with the progress. He was almost at level eight. If he could finish it in the afternoon, he would reach level ten. Although the progress would be slower in the future, according to Li Feng's past experience, five or six days would be enough.

It's not bad. Learning a craft in five or six days might not be very useful in modern times, but it's still a craft. "I'll just think of it as learning to make some woodworking toys to entertain the kids at home."

"It's almost time to cook."

Li Feng was now directly in charge of the big pot meal. His big pot meal was so delicious that even Uncle Shao was impressed. However, as soon as he went out, he ran into Da Ya, Er Ya, and Zhang Su Su chasing after the piglet. The girls were sweating profusely, and their hair was a mess.

"What's going on?"

"The piglet ran away."

Erya wiped the sweat off her face, and pointed at the three little piglets in the yard with her little face covered in black and gray.

"Where did this go?"

Li Feng looked at the yard full of grunting piglets. This guy was originally a little white pig, but now he is almost turning into a little gray pig.

"He ran into the ditch."

Daya licked her dry lips. She had just been chasing for a long time and was hot and thirsty.

"Okay, leave these little things to me, you guys go wash your faces." Li Feng looked at the little pigs and thought about selling them at the market in a few days.

After the piglet was locked up, Li Feng called out, "Dad is going to cook. Please take care of Susu at home."

"I understand, Brother Li."

With Zhang Susu at home, Li Feng didn't have to worry about anything. Zhang Susu took care of Daya and Erya, and they did a good job of housework. "This school is really something. These children should be in school. What can they do when there's a drought?"

Actually, Li Feng was wrong about this. Nowadays, children as young as five or six can help with cooking and picking grass for pigs. Children as young as seven or eight, and those in their teens can even do all the housework. These are the children of later generations, the kind who are spoiled to death.

Li Feng muttered to himself as he walked under the big tree at the entrance of the village. "Uncle Shaozi, you're here so early."

"It's getting late. Dinner will be served in an hour or so."

Han Furo didn't want to talk to Li Feng at all now. Not only did this kid steal all his skills, but he also surpassed him. Some old guys in the team laughed at him a lot, especially the crooked neck family.

Han Wangshi had a grudge against Li Feng and couldn't stand Li Feng doing well. She often grumbled to Han Furuo, saying something like, "Why are you so stupid? It's obvious that the boy is not a good person, but you learned your skills from him."

You deserve to be someone's assistant now. This made Han Furuo very angry, but the fact is that his skills are really not as good as this kid. I really don't know how this kid can learn so quickly.

"What's up, Uncle Spoon?"

Li Feng was about to cut vegetables, but Han Furuo stared at him with a strange look in his eyes, holding the kitchen knife in his hand, raising it up and then putting it down.

"fine."

Han Fuluo continued to chop vegetables, and Li Feng grumbled and started to work. In fact, there were not many vegetables at this time, old eggplant, winter melon, and pumpkin. These were considered good vegetables. As the drought became more serious, I was afraid that the vegetables would be out of stock.

Li Feng increased the speed of cutting vegetables, and Han Furuo could hardly keep up. Damn, this kid not only cooked better dishes than himself, but his cutting speed was amazing. He could cut two pumpkins of similar size before he finished one.

Not only is it fast, but the cuts are also evenly sized. Han Furu gave up. There's no comparison, absolutely no comparison.

"Oh, I'm getting old."

Li Feng looked back at Han Fuluo. What's the matter? Uncle Shaozi has been in a bad mood recently. "Uncle Shaozi, your age is the age of struggle. How can you say you are old?"

"I'm almost sixty."

"That's only middle age, not to mention not even sixty."

Han Furuo rolled his eyes and thought, forget it, he couldn't beat this kid in talking nonsense. After all, he could write books. Tell me, why are this person different from that person? His own children are about the same age.

But the food was not good at all. Alas, Han Fuluo felt that his cooking skills were wasted. The team had a capable person like Li Feng, and he, the head chef, was now only qualified to help.

"Uncle Fu Luo, don't just stand there, open fire."

"coming."

Li Feng, holding an iron wok in one hand and a large spoon in the other, could cook twice as much as Han Fuluo. He was young, strong, and skilled.

It would be strange if everyone didn't choose Li Feng. It's faster to cook, and the vegetables are ready in no time. Oil or not, there's plenty of salt and chili, and the taste is okay. The multi-grain sweet potato rice is quite solid. It's only because the furniture factory is making money that Han Fuguo agreed to give everyone some rice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat such a solid meal. He was waiting for the diving team and the logging team to leave. Li Feng had already eaten two bowls of rice. "Uncle Fu Luo, you take care of this place. I'm going back first."

Li Feng was too lazy to do such trivial things as serving food, but Han Fuluo liked it very much. This guy showed himself. Li Feng filled a bowl of food and went home happily. When he got home, he got some pig's head and cooked it again.

Zhang Susu, Daya and Erya, the three half-grown children at home, could not get into the big pot and had to eat at home. Li Feng brought back some vegetables and cut some red sausages to mix with multi-grain rice to make do with.

"Brother, is there meat again today?"

Zhang Susu swallowed her saliva when she saw the red sausage, but she was older after all and knew more. She had just eaten it yesterday, and eating it today was a bit too extravagant.

"Eat quickly."

Li Feng said with a smile. "My cousin brought a lot last night, so don't worry about it."

"Brother, don't you want to eat?"

"Ate."

Li Feng went inside to sort things out, bringing some mooncakes and candies with him and packing them into a canvas bag. "I'm going to the commune. Tell Uncle Wu and the others when I get back."

"got it."

Li Feng opened the power scooter and rode out of Hanjiaba. "Let's go to the post office first."

"Li Feng, you're here. If you hadn't come, I would have gone looking for you." Wu Xiaofeng stood up to greet Li Feng when she saw him come in.

"What's wrong?"

"Shengnan called and said a few more companies want to reserve furniture from your team."

Wu Xiaofeng lowered her voice. "Oh, I want one too, but I need more than just a desk. I also need cabinets and other things. I wonder if your team can help me with that?"

"Okay, whatever you want."

Li Feng thought, this guy is here for business, isn't he? Hey, Wu Xiaofeng is half a Hanjiaba person, right? "Have you told An Jun?"

"not yet."

Wu Xiaofeng said, "It was my mother who suggested it."

"dowry?"

"That's it."

Wu Xiaofeng is still a little shy.

"Okay, that's a good thing. I'll draw a model later and you can take a look. We'll fight whichever one you think is better. After all, we are friends, so I'll definitely follow you first." Li Feng said with a smile. Don't say that the Gao Ju brothers have been studying a lot recently.

A few have learned more than ten or twenty styles, and if they were put into use now, they would definitely be the most popular new styles, so there is no need to worry about no one liking them.

"Thank you so much." Wu Xiaofeng was about to take out the money, but Li Feng waved him off. "Let's take a look first, then we'll talk. By the way, what did Public Security Wu say?"

"Well, Shengnan said that a few people saw her desk and bookshelf and liked them, and they wanted to buy one too."

Wu Xiaofeng took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it. "It's quite urgent. I'm asking if you have time here. If you do, please go to the county. If not, please write her a letter."

"Okay, I'll give her a call."

Li Feng has no time these two days. He plans to wait until the ordered tables and chairs are ready before going to the county.

Wu Shengnan received the call and learned that Li Feng was quite busy. "Wu Gongan, how about this? You collect the deposit for me. How many sets do you want? I'll work overtime and get them all for you."

"Three sets."

"Okay, not much."

With the new tools, the speed has increased. If the materials are available, it won't take much time to make three sets. Now Gao Ju and Gao Cheng are experienced with their apprentices and are enough to help. Li Feng feels that with his own learning progress in the past few days, three sets of tables and chairs will not affect him.

"OK then."

Wu Shengnan was willing to help, and the two agreed on a delivery time. Li Feng then hung up the phone. "By the way, Comrade Xiaofeng, have any magazines sent me letters in the past two days?"

“There are some readers.”

Wu Xiaofeng sorted the letters and handed them to Li Feng. "It seems the magazine doesn't have them."

"Is it about the last manuscript?"

"No."

Li Feng took the letter. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I still have to go to the commune to collect this month's subsidy."

The subsidy was not much, just over ten yuan, but there were also some food coupons and non-staple food coupons, which were good things. Li Feng did not save them and directly bought rice and flour. He also went to the commune pig farm.

"really."

After getting a few meat coupons, Li Feng happily rode his electric bike back to Hanjiaba and went to buy meat early the next morning.

Not to mention that eating meat back home feels completely different from eating meat here. I don’t know if the meat is better or what, but I always feel that the meat here tastes better.

"came back."

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang."

Li Feng pulled the car over to the side. "Let's have something nice to eat tonight."

"Flour, rice?"

"Just bought it?"

"Yeah, I've received this month's allowance," Li Feng said with a smile. "It's not much, but it's still an extra income."

"Subsidy?"

Li Muxiao looked at Li Muchen, and Li Muchen explained.

"Hey, this is a good entry point."

Li Muxiao's eyes lit up. Writers of that time were different from those in later generations. They had a very high status, some even being political educators. Li Muxiao had originally felt that it would be difficult to bring some college students here, as they would not be able to get involved in the commune, county, or regional government departments.

But now he has some ideas. He wants to produce a group of writers. It will not be difficult to enter the government department with this. He originally planned to take the college entrance examination, but it takes at least four years to take the college entrance examination, which is too time-consuming.

"Mr. Li."

Li Feng was speechless. "Don't mess around, or you'll cause a big mess." "We'll have to think about this in the long run."

"Let's first solve the problem of eating in Hanjiaba."

"Right."

Li Muxiao nodded. "Take it one step at a time. First, get the position of captain of the Hanjiaba Brigade. Then, get into a university, maybe Tsinghua or Peking University, and work your way to the top step by step."

"Why does this route sound familiar?"

A person flashed in Li Feng's mind. Good fellow, Li Muxiao, you really dare to think. "No, Mr. Li, I don't have such a big ideal. Besides, I don't have such a big ability. Don't cause trouble when the time comes."

"elder brother."

Li Muchen was helpless. Wu Zhenhua looked at Li Muxiao. This kid from the Li family really dared to think big.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's solve the problem of dinner first."

Uncle Wu said with a smile, "I didn't eat much at noon, so I'm still a little hungry now."

"eat first."

Li Feng said with a smile. "I made some vermicelli, fried some minced meat vermicelli, and made some steamed buns. I also happened to have bought some Fuqiang flour."

"Cousin, you should try how this tastes."

Li Muxiao didn't expect Li Feng to be so skilled at cooking and making steamed buns. He tried a few dishes made by Li Dong. "It tastes really good."

"Of course not. My cousin is now the best chef in Hanjiaba."

Wu Tong said with a smile, "The big pot of food we had at noon was made by my cousin."

"Really? No wonder it tastes so good."

Li Muxiao enjoyed the big pot of food at noon. Although it didn’t have much oil, it tasted okay.

"After dinner, what shall we do?"

Li Muxiao put down his bowl and looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng was stunned. He didn't know what this guy would do at night without electricity. "How about we go to the fields and try our luck. Maybe we can catch a rabbit."

"hunt?"

Li Muxiao became interested, and when he saw Li Feng take out the semi-automatic Type 56, his eyes widened. "Can we play with this here?"

"Of course."

Li Feng was quite proud. "Wait, I'll go tell An Bing, otherwise we might run into a militia patrol and get into trouble."

After reporting to Han Anbing, Li Feng got another rifle, two guns and a cloth bag of bullets.

"Let's go for a walk in the fields."

Li Feng took two flashlights, handed one to Li Muxiao and one to Wu Tong. As for the guns, he carried one and Li Muxiao carried one.

"If I had known earlier, I would have brought a hunting dog with me and let's go into the mountains and have some fun."

Li Muxiao took a walk around during the day and had some understanding of the terrain of Hanjiaba.

"Brother, you may not be able to hunt prey in the mountains."

Li Muchen told Li Muxiao about the recent hunting trips by the various villages into the mountains. When he mentioned the tiger, Li Muxiao showed a hint of surprise. "Really? There are such big creatures in the mountains?"

Good man, this guy still wants to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, Li Feng muttered, he really thinks tigers are just a joke.

"rabbit."

"Where?" (End of this chapter)
