My 1978 Hotel

In the afternoon, Li Feng went to see the fishmonger. Luckily, he had a folding bicycle, as his home wasn't even close to the city. He got a razorfin loach, weighing about 20 kilograms. When he left, the fishmonger even drove him a long way, urging him to come often.

"I think I set the price too high."

Never mind, it's a bit high, twenty kilograms of razorfin loach, another twenty or thirty kilograms of small fish, plus three wild turtles, the fishmonger has a lot of good stuff. "Go to the post office and ask if you've bought the Angong Niuhuang Pills I asked my friend to buy for you."

After receiving his royalties from "Greening Tree," Li Feng started thinking about taking something back home. He'd originally wanted to buy some Maotai, but figuring it wouldn't be convenient to ship, he decided to buy something easier to ship. Angong Niuhuang Wan (Angong Niuhuang Pills)—these are good, small pills. I'll buy a few boxes and keep them for later.

The Angong Niuhuang Pills now contain real rhino horn and natural bezoar, and their effects are better than those of later generations. Don't underestimate them; even a little bit of improvement in this life-saving product can mean the difference between life and death. "Are we there yet?"

Originally, Li Feng just came to ask, but he didn't expect it to actually arrive. Li Feng quickly took the package.

"Fortunately, package delivery these days is quite thoughtful."

There was no damage, so Li Feng stuffed the package into his canvas bag. This time he bought three boxes, eight pills in each box, a total of twenty-four pills. It's a pity that tiger bone wine is difficult to send, otherwise he would have planned to take some with him. Regardless of whether it is effective or not, the things themselves are worth collecting.

Back in the yard, Li Feng put the fish and shrimp into wooden basins and barrels. Together with the ones brought from Hanjiaba, there were at least fifty or sixty kilograms of knife-eaten loaches, three graylings, two pheasants and a hare, an antelope leg, dozens of kilograms of small dried fish, and twenty or thirty kilograms of fresh small fish and three wild turtles that he had just bought.

This time, there were quite a few things, not even counting the three boxes of Angong Niuhuang Pills, a stack of stamps, and a few pieces of mahogany furniture Li Feng brought with him. "Sooner or later, I'll get some huanghuali furniture back." Li Feng figured the county town might actually have some. The Hui merchants were quite wealthy during the Qingming period, so getting some huanghuali wouldn't be a big deal.

I'll have to talk to those ladies later and help promote the idea of exchanging old furniture for new ones. I'll then get some huanghuali wood furniture to put in the homestay. If nothing else, it will be enough to decorate the place.

"Boss Li."

"When are you going back?"

"Let's wait until dark. We won't have dinner here today. Let's go back to the B&B and eat."

"Okay."

Wu Tong and Qin Yue were delighted. "It's better to have a house in the county town. We can leave whenever we want."

"It's okay now."

Li Feng thought that in a few days, the street office lady would probably come to his house. By then, they would be familiar with each other, and it would be difficult for him to avoid people. But it was much better than Hanjiaba. Of course, he still had to buy a house, in the region, the provincial capital, and preferably in every city.

Setting a crossing point gives you more options so you don't cause unnecessary trouble. After packing up, Li Feng set the crossing point. "That's good! I finally have another crossing point, and I have more options when I come back."

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang, Mr. Li, Brother, Wu Tong, Qin Yue, get ready, we're going back."

"no problem."

Several people nodded. Li Feng and everyone were ready to start the time-travel hotel. Fortunately, despite the change of location, the time travel process did not change much. "Why don't you all go back and get some sleep? It's not even three o'clock yet."

At three in the morning, everyone returned to the recording studio. Li Muchen, Wu Zhenhua, and the others were used to it, but Li Muxiao was still a little uncomfortable. He took his watch and phone beside him to check the time. "We've been here for several days, how come only so much time has passed?"

Li Muxiao was a little surprised, and Li Muchen said with a smile, "Brother, a day there is equivalent to about half an hour here."

"Ah, this is really amazing."

Li Muxiao sighed. If he hadn't gone there in person, he would have definitely thought that person was crazy if they told him about this. "Brother, go to my place, take a shower, and get some sleep first. It's still early."

"Let's go."

Wu Tong and Qin Yue rushed back home early to shower. These days in Hanjiaba, showers are incredibly difficult. The drought has meant there's already a shortage of water, and carrying water is incredibly tiring. Normally, on hot days like this, you shower at least once a day, and two or three times is normal. But in Hanjiaba, once every three days is considered good, and they usually just rub and wash their essential parts.

Li Feng brought back fish, snakes, meat, some stamps, Angong Niuhuang Pills, and RMB. Yes, there was also some RMB. These were some of the high-value items selected by Gao Jue.

"Ninety-nine percent of them were brought back."

As expected, RMB and stamps are almost all consumables. Compared to the US dollars, these are not easy to get. There is one pill missing from three boxes of Angong Niuhuang Pills with 24 pills. "You really have a collection."

"Never mind, there are still twenty-three left."

Not bad, Li Feng consoled himself. After packing up and taking a shower, it was almost four o'clock. "Go to bed."

Li Feng slept until after seven o'clock and then went downstairs.

"Good morning, Sister Wu."

"Good morning, boss."

Li Feng walked closer and saw that the breakfast was quite rich. "Sister Wu, give me a bowl of beef noodles, three beef buns, four steamed buns, two eggs, and two fried dough sticks." This guy, a trip over there would make his appetite explode.

It would take at least half a month to recover after returning. Sister Wu thought Li Feng was helping someone else with the bag. "Would you like a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge?"

"Have a bowl."

Li Feng thought it wasn't enough, so he ordered another bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which would have filled him up to about 80%. When Li Feng finished his breakfast, Sister Wu was a little surprised that no one else came over. The boss had a really good appetite today.

But the boss lady didn’t come yesterday. Could it be that? Sister Wu was secretly wondering in her heart. If Li Feng knew what Sister Wu was thinking, she would definitely cry out that it was unfair. There would be no money to be made there.

It was almost half past eight when Li Daozong and his wife, Wu Zhenhua and his wife, the Li Muchen brothers, Wu Tong, and Qin Yue finally arrived. Li Daozong and his wife ate normally, but the others were all big eaters.

"That's strange."

Why is she eating so much today? Usually there’s some breakfast left over, but today there’s nothing left. Luckily she prepared more noodles.

"Everyone seems to have a good appetite today."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Sister Wu, I bought some new food last night, especially pheasant. I'll stew it for breakfast."

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, Brother Gao went out to do some shopping this morning. I'm afraid he won't be back for the next few days. Sister Chen, please clean up the room." Li Feng treated this as a morning meeting. "Everything else should be done as usual."

Sister Wu, Sister Chen, and Sister Wang said they understood. After Li Feng finished explaining, he packed up two bottles of wine and a few gift boxes and rode his electric scooter towards Hanjia Village.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. What have you been busy with?"

Zhang Tao was busy loading goods. When he saw Li Feng riding his bike over, he greeted him with a smile.

"Took the kids out for a few days."

Li Feng looked at Zhang Tao. He hadn't gained weight in a while. "Brother Zhang, how's business been lately? Pretty good, right?"

"same as usual."

"Come in and sit for a while?"

Zhang Tao clapped his hands and beckoned Li Feng to come in and sit down. Li Feng smiled and said, "I have something to ask the village chief later. Come back and sit for a while when you have time."

"What's up?"

"No big deal. My B&B recently got some investment, so I'm planning to contract a few more hills," Li Feng said with a smile. "I'm planning to develop some. There are too few B&B projects right now, so they're not attracting tourists."

Zhang Tao wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. "What a joke! A B&B can attract investment? The problem is, even if you get investment, you still have to contract a few more hills. How big a project are you planning?" "Is this guy crazy? Why are there no tourists in your B&B? Damn, your place is so crappy, even rabbits wouldn't poop there."

I've been wanting to run a B&B for a long time, but I've always felt it wasn't going to work. Now, I've finally found someone so blind as to invest in you, but you're not going to sell it right away. This guy is even planning to do a big project. He's crazy, his mind is out of control. Zhang Tao opened his mouth to persuade him, but then he thought, if the B&B were to develop and run a project, wouldn't it mean he'd get even more goods in the future? "A lot of investment, right?"

"Okay."

"Tens of millions."

Li Feng said it casually. It was not something shameful. Besides, when it came to the project, Li Feng was really prepared to invest a lot of money, tens of millions. He would definitely not invest it all, but at least keep a part for himself.

Tens of millions! Zhang Tao's legs trembled. Where did this idiot come from? No, this noble man, tens of millions, it's really crazy to invest in this remote place.

"Hey, it's Li Feng."

Han Dafeng wondered who her husband was chatting with. He wasn't working, and she was busy as hell, so why was he chatting with him? When she went out, she saw it was Li Feng. No wonder. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you go out to play?"

"Yeah, I just came back from a walk."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Brother Zhang, let's talk about this later when we have time. I have to go to the village chief's house to finalize it."

"you busy."

Zhang Tao looked at Li Feng and couldn't understand for a long time. How could someone be interested in Li Feng's B&B and invest tens of millions? Even if Li Feng was bragging, it was at least tens of millions. Where did this guy come from? Why hadn't he met him before?

"Wife, tell me, should we ask around and see if there's anyone willing to invest a few million in our supermarket?" Zhang Tao turned to look at his wife. Han Dafeng was a little dazed and waved her hand in front of Zhang Tao's face.

"You haven't woken up yet, have you? Who's so stupid as to invest millions in our small supermarket? You're so bold! You just woke up from a daydream and started doing it. Hurry up and get to work."

Han Dafeng was speechless. This guy was so bold. What a fool. He invested millions in their small supermarket, but your supermarket is worth only a few dollars.

"But just now, that kid Li Feng said that someone invested tens of millions in his B&B."

"fart."

Han Dafeng slapped Zhang Tao in the face. "Are you hysterical? Tens of millions! His B&B wasn't even accepted for half a million a while ago, and he's investing tens of millions. Are you crazy or stupid?"

"But just now..."

Zhang Tao hesitated. When Li Feng spoke just now, he seemed very sincere and didn't want to say anything nonsense.

"But what, really, he was just kidding you."

Han Dafeng muttered, this guy took it seriously.

Here, Li Feng had already arrived at the village chief's house. Han Huaijun was playing mahjong inside. Indeed, this mountain village chief didn't have much to do. There weren't many young people in the village, so with so few young people, there weren't many things to do.

Besides, it’s the slack season now, so playing mahjong is not a big deal.

"Second uncle."

My goodness, Han Shengli's second brother, Han Zhaoxia's second uncle, is also here. He plays mahjong for one dollar, and gets a free lunch for five dollars. This is like a leisure center for the elderly. His wife died early, and his children are often away from home. He usually comes here to play cards and have fun.

"It's Xiao Feng."

"What's the matter?" Han Shenghuai was also a little confused. The child came again.

"Second uncle, I have something to ask the village chief."

Li Feng was somewhat embarrassed. This guy was carrying wine and gift boxes. He originally thought that there was no one in the village chief's house.

"What's the matter?"

Han Huaijun looked at Li Feng without stopping his hands. This guy was unlucky and was cheated by Han Hao. However, he heard that some rich people came to the B&B recently, and the B&B can make some money now, unlike before when it was losing money.

I just heard from his grandson that the B&B has a bad reputation. The banquet this kid organized cost three or four thousand yuan per table. Really, this kid is a bit ignorant. This is not the way to make money. He is a bit unscrupulous.

"Look, Village Chief, I'm planning to contract a few hilltops near the B&B."

"What's the matter?"

Han Huaijun's hand trembled, and the mahjong tiles he had just touched fell onto the table.

"One cake, win." Second uncle Han Shengmin laughed. "All the same color, one dragon."

Damn it, Han Huaijun was speechless. Never mind, it's just a few more dollars. "Lao Wu, you take over. I have something to talk to this kid about."

"Row."

"No more fighting."

Han Shengmin pushed his mahjong tiles aside and stood up. "Xiao Feng, why are you thinking of contracting a few more hilltops? Why don't you ask your dad about this?" Han Shengmin couldn't bring himself to say it directly. A few years ago, several city dwellers who had contracted land in Hanjia Village lost everything and ran away in disgrace.

Your B&B business is now half-dead, and you still dare to contract the mountain. Aren’t you courting death?

"Didn't we just get some investment?"

"Oh?"

Investment, those who were about to continue playing cards were stunned when they heard about the situation of the B&B. In fact, everyone knew it clearly. They had thought that it would go bankrupt in the first half of this year, but they never expected it to last until now.

Now he even talked about attracting investment, which made everyone in the room look at Li Feng in surprise.

This silly son-in-law of Han Shengli's family is so lucky. I don't know where he got the investment, but this silly guy is still a bit stupid. He didn't sell the property quickly after getting the investment. This guy opened a homestay in the mountains, which is nowhere to be found.

Ordinary 4A scenic spots are about ten kilometers away, and more than ten kilometers away from the city. It is totally unreasonable that the truly famous Foshan is thirty or forty kilometers away. You can still survive by running a fishing farm.

This B&B is too big, this guy is bound to make a loss. This is the current situation of B&Bs. Now that the good guys have attracted investment, this guy is still planning to expand on the existing basis. If he is not a fool, then what is he?

“It’s a good thing to attract investment.”

Han Huaijun invited Li Feng to sit down. "However, your B&B previously contracted several hills and fields, which haven't been developed yet. Why are you thinking of contracting new hills?"

"That's right. The place was too small before."

Li Feng said, "I plan to build a simulated ecotourism base that integrates a rural living room, a farming culture museum, a rural nostalgic market, a lifestyle art gallery, a homestay, a lawn camping bar, and an ecological farm."

This is an opportunity that was finally finalized after discussion between Li Feng, Li Muxiao and others. The investment may require a large sum of money, but it is not necessary for the early development. Twenty or thirty million will be enough. As for the later stage, they can take it slowly.

It will not be difficult to attract more investment at that time. The Wu family has promised Li Muxiao and Wu Zhenhua that as long as Li Feng is willing, they can make additional investments within 500 million at any time. With a combined 1 billion yuan from the two families, this guy can build any base.

"What's the matter?"

Han Huaijun was shocked. This was a reception room, a science museum, a commemorative nostalgic market, and so on. Wow, how much investment did this attract? "Let me call you Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, how much investment did you raise?"

"Tens of millions, maybe."

Li Feng said it casually, but as soon as he said it, the whole living room fell silent. (End of this chapter)
