My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 27: Treating illnesses and saving lives, a real-time experience tour

"Uncle Fuguo, I didn't expect them to come looking for me just because I was in the newspaper. I had no place to stay in the city, but now they think I'm rich because I'm in the newspaper and they come to me for help. I don't know what to do."

Li Feng had already thought of an excuse: he had been praised as a famous writer in the newspaper, so it made sense for relatives to come and seek refuge with him. This also paved the way for subsequent visitors. "First cousin, second cousin, come here quickly."

Gao Cheng and Gao Ju were immediately scared by the stares from the crowd, and walked over with their heads held high. They had wanted to look for an opportunity to escape, but now that so many people were staring at them, they dared not even think about running away.

"Uncle Fuguo, just treat them as temporary workers and pay them whatever you want. At least I can provide some subsidies so they don't starve." Li Feng looked helpless. Han Fuguo frowned when he heard this. This matter would be easy to handle in other wealthy brigades.

But Hanjiaba itself wasn't wealthy, and couldn't afford high wages. Outsourced workers earned at least fifty cents a day. "You know, given the situation in our brigade, I'm afraid we can't afford high wages."

"I know."

Ten work points a day only earned three cents, so asking for a higher salary was out of the question. "Uncle Fuguo, how about twenty-five cents? I can buy some cornmeal to keep us fed, and I'll add a little more. At least we won't starve."

"That's fine. We're short on manpower to harvest sorghum these days."

Twenty-five cents is even lower than what the other members earn. Seeing that all three of them are young men, how could they be worse than a woman?

"Don't stand there like an idiot. Thank you, Uncle Fuguo."

Gao Cheng, Gao Ju and Li Muchen were a little stunned. The price had been agreed upon, but why did it feel like selling ourselves into slavery? We were here for a trip, this must be correct.

But with so many people watching, the three of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and thank the old man in front of them.

"Let's go get the tools."

The three of them looked at each other and followed Li Feng without saying a word. Li Feng's men were all around them. The brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Jiu didn't dare to do anything rash. Li Muchen was even more puzzled. Would he really let him do any work?

"An Min."

Li Feng handed the three of them over to Han Anmin and whispered to him, "My three cousins grew up in small towns and haven't suffered much. This time, my aunt sent them to me so I could educate them and arrange jobs for them when they return to the city."

"Are you worried that you won't be willing to work hard and won't be able to find a job in the city?"

"That's what I mean. There are only some temporary workers or collective idle workers in the city now. I'm afraid they will be unwilling to do it because they are too proud. So I came here without any explanation. You can use them as much as you want and beat them if they don't obey."

"to make."

Han Anmin patted his chest. "Leave this to me. You've found the right person. Just ask anyone in our team. I'm the best at training people. Look at what Wu Gou was like back then, and see how well he works now."

"I can rest assured that."

Li Feng chuckled and said, "You little bastards, run. The two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju are trying to trick me. Li Muchen is even suffering from depression. They all want to trick me. I'll teach you a lesson first."

It just so happened that an important part of the tour experience was also doing farm work, killing two birds with one stone. Li Feng continued to drive his ox cart, while the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju, and Li Muchen were not so lucky. Each of them had a shovel to dig and load manure.

Not to mention Li Muchen, even the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju have never done this job before. What a guy, he quit after just a while.

"Quit."

Gao Jue threw the shovel and said, "What the hell? It's smelly and tiring. I'm here to travel, not to be a slave." "Give me back, or I'll call the police when I get out."

"Yes."

"Refund the money, compensate, or this matter will not end."

Gao Cheng also threw down the shovel and said, "Fuck you! They have been fighting against counterfeiting until now. Although they have encountered many strange things, no hotel has used them as laborers. Now they are still digging manure piles. This is bullshit."

Li Muchen didn't say anything, but stopped what he was doing. He wanted to see how to deal with this matter.

"Your skin is itchy, right?"

Han Anmin had received Li Feng's instructions, so he wasn't being polite to them. "Anyu, just watch over them. Leave this pile of manure to them. If they can't finish it, feed them at noon."

"Okay, Brother Anmin."

Han Anyu chuckled. "The last person to eat shit was two years ago. Finally, someone is making a fuss."

"Eat shit?"

Gao Cheng and Gao Ju looked at each other, a little panicked, but still stood firm. "Who are you trying to scare? We are the ones who are scared."

"Oh, you're quite stubborn."

Han Anyu was not joking. The previous shit-eater was right next to him. Wu Gou was very unreasonable in the past two years. Not only was he lazy at work, but he also made trouble from time to time. Han Anmin taught him a big lesson at that time.

"Are you serious?"

Li Muchen carefully observed Han Anyu and the others. They looked playful and excited. If this were an act, it would be worthy of an Oscar. "Is it such a big deal?" He glanced at Li Feng, who was busy writing and drawing with a pen.

As Gao Cheng and Gao Ju talked, they also observed the expressions of Han Anyu and the others. They didn't look like they were joking. Damn, are they actually in the country? "Are you going to do it or not?"

"Fuck, fuck."

"Tap, tap, tap."

Gao Cheng and Gao Ju, who had wanted to hold on a little longer, suddenly lost their temper. Han Anyu and the others gave them some strength, and their hands were so strong that they pinched them so hard that they cried out in pain.

"Coward."

Wu Gou curled his lips. Even if he ate his own excrement, he would be better than you guys. "I don't even dare to eat my own excrement."

"Pfft."

Li Muchen couldn't help but see Wu Gou looking over and busily started digging up the manure, fearing that this manure eater would come and cause trouble for him. The three of them were exhausted like dead dogs all morning, their hands were all worn out, but no one dared to say a word.

A den of thieves, this must be a den of thieves. The three of them now had the same idea: escape, they couldn't stay in this place.

"It's time to go home."

Li Feng patted Li Muchen's shoulder. "How's it going? Is it okay?"

"good."

Li Muchen's shoulders were sore and swollen, and he grimaced in pain from Li Feng's pat. He had been busy working all morning, and although he didn't think about anything else, he felt a little better. "It's okay. There are still nine days to go. Just keep going. That's how I got through it. It's just like that once you get used to it."

Get used to it, sister. Li Muchen, considered a civilized person, couldn't help but greet Li Feng's relatives and friends in his heart. Gao Cheng and Gao Jue even cursed Li Feng's parents to death. "Don't be stunned. Go home and eat. You still have to work in the afternoon." There was still work to do in the afternoon. Gao Cheng and Gao Jue wanted to strangle Li Feng to death. This bastard must have done it on purpose. "Don't go too far?"

"What's so excessive? You signed up just to experience the era tour."

"Going to work is the main experience project."

You guys are lying. If I don't let you experience the life of the production team in the 1970s, I will be the loser.

Let’s go home and get something to eat. I brought back a lot of good stuff yesterday. Daya and Erya will definitely be happy to see it.

What to eat at noon? Of course, steamed buns are a must. They are prepared for Li Muchen and the other two. As for him, Daya and Erya, they can just have some meat and eggs.

"What to do?"

Gao Cheng asked Gao Ju quietly, and Gao Ju whispered, "Let's run away when he's not paying attention. I don't believe he can still do anything after leaving this ghost village."

"Yes, then call the police and arrest them."

Li Muchen listened without saying anything. He always felt that Li Feng was fearless and there must be something else going on. Moreover, from his observation this morning, he seemed to be really working hard on the farm work. It didn't seem like he was acting.

This was a bit scary. Although Li Muchen didn't read novels much, he had seen some time travel movies, but he didn't dare to think about it. He just observed it first. Although he was tired this morning, he felt relaxed and didn't have time to think too much.

"run."

When passing by the intersection, Gao Ju shouted to Gao Cheng, and the two of them ran away. This scene made everyone confused. What was going on? Li Feng took a look and thought, "Let's run, we have to come back later." There were only hills and ditches around them, and it was more than ten miles away from the commune.

This guy is running, what the hell? Besides, the system will locate him. When he gets tired of running, Li Feng can bring him back. "The system should give you an explanation next time, otherwise it will be too troublesome to explain."

"The system adopts the revised contract."

This system is pretty good. It listens to opinions. When he got home, Li Feng happily took out meat, candies, and eggs. Daya and Erya were stunned. "Don't just stand there. Help Dad light the fire."

I fried some pork with chili peppers, had a stewed egg cake, and some steamed steamed buns. After I finished eating, I went to look for the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju. They were so useless that they could only run two or three miles and then couldn't move.

"Eat your meal, bro."

Li Muchen washed his hands. His previously clean hands were now black and had a few scratches. "After dinner, apply some red mercury and bandage them."

"You are just too honest."

Li Muchen rolled his eyes. "You're the one who told me to do that. I want to be as relaxed and comfortable as you are driving a bullock cart." "Aren't you going to wait for them?"

"It's okay, let's eat first."

"Just leave two steamed buns for them later."

Well, Li Muchen was really a little hungry, but he still couldn't eat the steamed bun. Seeing that Li Feng was eating it very happily, he sighed. He took a bite and it hurt his throat, so he endured it and ate two more bites.

“Eat it in small pieces.”

"Oh."

Li Muchen really didn't want to eat. He had never eaten this before, but he was too tired from working this morning and too hungry. If he didn't eat, he was afraid he would faint from hunger.

What he didn't know was that not far away, the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju were lying on the ground gasping for breath, without any strength left.

"Second brother, are you hungry?"

"Thirsty and hungry."

I didn't drink a drop of water or eat a grain of food the whole morning. I worked so hard that I collapsed on the ground after running less than two miles.

"We won't starve to death here, right?"

"Impossible, I don't believe it, there is no one here."

Gao Jue was also a little panicked. There really wasn't any movement around here. If no one noticed, they might really starve to death here. "Don't worry, I don't believe that Boss Li would let us starve to death. If he really starved to death, he wouldn't be in any good situation either."

Li Feng would definitely not let them starve to death, but it didn't matter if they went hungry for a while.

"Hey, you're not running anymore?"

Li Feng, who was driving the ox cart, looked at the two brothers lying on the ground and laughed. "Hurry up and eat something. You still have work to do in the afternoon."

"I'll fuck your grandma's legs."

"You bastard, don't wait for me to go out and kill you."

"If you keep scolding me, I won't have any more steamed bread to eat."

Li Feng looked at the two brothers. "I know why you signed up. Don't treat others as fools. Just finish your work for a few days and get out of here."

"you know?"

"Get up."

"Actually, you're not at a loss. This place was forty-five years ago. Ten thousand dollars isn't too much to see it for yourself, right?"

"You're not kidding?"

"Of course I'm going to the commune tomorrow. You'll understand if you follow me." Li Feng patted his trouser legs. The two brothers loved to grab their trouser legs. "Let me make this clear. If you run around again and I can't find you and can't get back, don't blame me."

"We can't go back. I still don't believe you have any good."

"It's nothing good or bad. At most, I don't want the wages you earned these few days."

Li Feng said with a smile. "As for you guys, maybe you'll show up in another way, and I won't be implicated by then. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You are simply a demon."

The two were genuinely frightened. Actually, Li Feng had only said it casually; it wouldn't hurt to warn the two brothers if they weren't safe. They exchanged a glance, wondering if this was indeed forty-five years ago, perhaps there was still a chance to make a fortune here.
