My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 51 The Show-Off Giant Salamander

"What are you thinking about? Your son is asking you."

Han Chaoxia touched Li Feng who was distracted.

"what happened?"

Li Feng was a little excited when he thought about the knife loach problem. If the system had this function, it would be really advanced. At least after losing his income in the field of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, he would have a promising way forward.

"The two little guys want to go out and play in the bullock cart later."

"Okay."

Li Feng said with a smile. "But the big black bull hasn't eaten grass for a while. We need to get him some grass to eat first and cheer him up."

"It's time to feed the big black bull."

Li Yi cheered when he heard it, and Li Ran was also very excited. Feeding cows was the first time for both children.

"Don't be too happy too early."

Li Feng rubbed Li Yi's little head. "We have to cut the grass ourselves."

"Mowing the lawn is not easy."

"I'm not afraid."

Li Yi said, "Brother, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Li Ran acted like a little kid who wasn't afraid, so how could I, an adult, be afraid?

"Okay, then let's go mow the grass after dinner."

Li Feng said with a smile. "There's still some weeds in the garden. Grab a basket and we'll go cut them and feed the big black cow."

"Uh-huh."

"Remember to wear a hat."

Seeing that Ye San was in high spirits, Han Chaoxia smiled and reminded him that the weather was already a bit hot, especially at noon when the heat was unbearable.

"Do not worry."

Li Feng said with a smile. "The B&B bought a batch of straw hats a while ago. They're light, large, and provide good coverage."

"You still have the nerve to say that. You buy so much of everything. Don't you realize how wasteful it is?"

Han Chaoxia was a little angry when she said this. She had just had a good visit to the B&B today. You imagine that a B&B should have a small conference room and several offices, not to mention a memorial hall. It's a huge place full of old items. Not to mention other things, the central air conditioning alone would cost a lot of electricity.

"Isn't this all Han Dong's fault?"

Li Feng quickly pushed the blame onto Han Dong. This guy had screwed him over, and Li Feng felt at ease with the blame. "Would you like to join us later?"

"I don't have the time for that."

Han Zhaoxia waved her hand. "People from the city will be arriving soon, so we need someone to keep an eye on it."

"It's not a big deal."

"You have a big heart."

After all, giant salamanders are protected species, so Han Zhaoxia is definitely concerned about how they're treated. "They might not be rare elsewhere, but they're definitely a rarity here. Staying at a B&B is the best option, I think."

"stay?"

Li Feng frowned. "Then I'll have to devote some energy to looking after it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if something goes wrong."

"That's what I said."

Han Zhaoxia opened her phone and handed it to Li Feng. "Look, I just posted a photo on my WeChat Moments. A lot of people have been asking about the giant salamander. Keeping it has more advantages than disadvantages. Our B&B doesn't have any unique features like other B&Bs, but now with the giant salamander, it definitely feels a bit different."

"That's true."

Li Feng nodded. Of course, there are too many B&Bs these days. It's hard to stand out without something unique, especially a B&B like Li Feng's that's quite far from a serious tourist attraction. "Let's see if we can stay here later."

The city’s forestry department took a look and found that the number of giant salamanders has increased in recent years. The forestry staff looked around upstream and downstream and did not find any other giant salamanders. In addition, the giant salamanders in the stream are not afraid of people.

“Maybe they were released.”

It's not very wild. Several staff members plan to write a report to report the matter first. As for the giant salamander, let's not change its living environment for now, otherwise it will be troublesome if something goes wrong. "Boss Li, please help take care of it here for a while."

The forestry department made some marks on the giant salamander, attached a positioning chip, said something to Li Feng, and drove away.

“I really stayed.”

Han Chaoxia thought it would take time and money, but she never imagined it would be so simple.

"It's not something too precious after all."

Li Feng said with a smile, "There are too many breeding now."

"If it were a panda or a golden monkey, you see, they would have been taken away long ago."

I have to say that with the improvement of the environment these days and the addition of artificial breeding, the price of giant salamanders has dropped very low. A large giant salamander only costs one or two hundred coins.

"Don't mention it, this giant salamander is quite smart."

Han Zhaoxia smiled and pointed at Li Yi teasing the giant salamander. "Yiyi, don't touch it with your hands. It bites."

"It's okay, the baby is very well behaved, look, mommy."

As he spoke, Li Yi turned his little hand on the giant salamander's head. Unexpectedly, the giant salamander that was rescued by Li Feng actually turned in a circle.

"what?"

Li Feng was stunned. This guy is quite interesting.

"Yiyi, go get some small fish."

Li Feng planned to give it a try. This guy might have been optimized by the system. He looked a little smart.

"Uh-huh."

As Li Yi spoke, he ran towards the B&B with his short legs. Han Zhaoxia quickly asked Li Ran to catch up. This guy has a lot of water in his fish pond.

"fine."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Gao is right here."

"Oh."

Han Zhaoxia felt relieved when she heard Gao Zai. "Do you think this giant salamander is raised by someone else? I don't think it's afraid of people at all. Yiyi was so close just now, but I didn't see it bite her." "Maybe."

Li Feng thought to himself, it’s definitely not the one he raised. As for why it became a little different, it’s probably related to the system. It was almost dead, but now it’s alive and kicking. The system is awesome.

After a while, Li Ran and Li Yi came back with a bag of ditch crawlers and knife loaches.

"Hey, what are you going to do with so much?"

Han Chaoxia looked at these few half-pound ditch crawlers and knife loaches, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. These fish were not cheap, and so many could be sold for at least a hundred yuan.

"Let them play."

Li Feng waved his hand. "I'll go to the reservoir and catch some crucian carp to put in the pond later."

"Just spoil them."

This person doesn't feel sorry at all for such expensive things. Really, he spends money lavishly. What's the situation with the B&B now? There are only a few people coming to play all day. There is not even anyone fishing today.

"Baby, come and eat the fish."

"baby?"

Li Feng laughed. "Yiyi, is this the name you gave the giant salamander?"

"Uh-huh."

"This girl just named her puppy Little Ears."

Han Zhaoxia said with a smile. "She also said she wanted to write it down and tell Jingjing about it when she got home. Yueyue and the others also said they asked me to take several photos."

"This kid."

Li Feng smiled. This personality was totally unlike him. He never liked to show off. "But the name is quite good, Baby."

It's no wonder that Li Yi called out several times, and the giant salamander seemed to hear it. As Li Yi raised her little hand, the giant salamander suddenly jumped out, and a fish went into its big mouth, making a squeaking sound that really sounded a bit like a child's cry.

"Hey, the giant salamander can really make a sound?"

Han Zhaoxia looked surprised. "Didn't they say they had no vocal cords?"

"Not having vocal cords doesn't mean you can't make a sound."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Yiyi, well done."

"whee."

Li Yi became even more excited. Wow, he actually came up with some new tricks this time.

"It's really interesting."

Han Zhaoxia looked at the giant salamander crawling behind Li Yi. She pulled out her phone and recorded a video to share with the family group. Not to mention her sisters, they all found it quite amusing. "How about I post it on WeChat Moments?"

"I can see it."

Not to mention that once it was posted on WeChat Moments, quite a few people left comments. Some colleagues who had already planned to come tomorrow were even more determined. Jiang Xiaowen even said that she had already left and was on her way.

"I never thought so many people would be interested in giant salamanders."

Han Chaoxia looked at the hundreds of likes and more than ten comments and said to Li Feng happily.

"Usually, giant salamanders are just average, but this one seems different. It's smart."

"No."

Han Zhaoxia could tell it was quite clever. "Isn't it someone's pet? Otherwise, why would it seem so smart and know everything?"

"It shouldn't be. Who would be willing to throw away such a smart giant salamander?"

"That's true."

Li Feng watched as Li Yi and Li Ran had a blast playing with the giant salamander, feeding it an entire bag of small fish and shrimp. Damn, this fish was so clever it tricked them into eating. But it didn't matter, it was just a few small fish.

"Yiyi, what are you doing?"

"Catch the small fish."

"This kid."

Han Zhaoxia quickly stopped Li Yi. They had already fed half a pound of the giant salamander in such a short time. Why were they still feeding it? This fish is not cheap. Besides, if the giant salamander eats too much, it might cause problems. "Hey, let's feed it later. Look at the giant salamander's belly. It's already so big."

"Oh fine."

Li Yi touched the baby. "Be good, baby. Yiyi will come to feed you after dinner."

"OK OK."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Let's go cut some grass and feed the big black cow. We'll go pick up your Aunt Wenwen later."

"It's time to cut grass and feed the big black cow."

As expected, Li Yi immediately forgot about feeding the fish to the baby and focused on feeding the big black cow and driving the ox cart to pick up Aunt Wenwen. "Slow down, put on your hat." Han Zhaoxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This child was so energetic. "Li Feng, remember to watch out and don't cut your hands."

"Do not worry."

Li Feng smiled and said, with gloves, there will be no problem.

"By the way, don't spend too much time cutting. My third brother-in-law will be here to get the loaches soon."

Han Zhaoxia said, "Don't forget."

"understood."

Li Feng agreed with a smile, and took his eldest son and youngest daughter to the vegetable garden not far from the door. "Slow down, Yiyi, Li Ran, keep an eye on your sister, Daddy has a phone call."

"Mr. Wu, how many loaches do you want?"

"How much do you want?"

Li Feng paused, thinking it was really effective. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, we're really out of stock this time. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher. Well, it's not about the price. This stuff is already scarce right now. Mr. Chen just got some, and I have a few regular customers here. There really isn't much left now."

"Boss Li, we are so familiar with each other, please give me some." Wu Zhengxiong really didn't expect that after eating the knife loach a few times, let alone having some effect, it was a bit outrageous. Usually, although the medicine had some effect, the sequelae were quite uncomfortable. This one actually had no sequelae, it was a good thing.

"Since you said so, I'll leave you two pounds. I really don't have any more."

Li Feng muttered to himself, thinking that if it really works, the price would definitely go up. Eighty was too low, and eight hundred wasn't high either. "What's going on? I've received seven or eight calls asking for knifefish today."

Wu Zhengxiong's heart skipped a beat. He saw that it wasn't just his own effect that was noticeable.
