My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 86: Want a gold nugget as a paperweight? This is easy. I’ll give you one.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't be willing to use it after knowing the price?"

Li Feng muttered quietly, causing Han Zhaoxia to roll her eyes. "Such a precious thing, aren't you afraid that I'll break it or lose it? Really, you have a really big heart."

"It's actually okay. Jade won't be easily damaged. It's fine with normal use."

"I wouldn't dare."

Han Chaoxia didn't listen to Li Feng's twisted logic. Eight hundred thousand was enough to buy a nice house in a small city like Chicheng. She didn't dare to use it. If it was broken, she would be heartbroken. Even if she was not worried about it breaking, she would be worried about holding hundreds of thousands in her hands.

"What's wrong with this?"

Li Feng said with a smile. "Other people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a bag, but they use it differently."

"Why don't you just say he's a billionaire?"

Han Chaoxia couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Feng. He was really arrogant. Her own B&B was still losing money.

"Sooner or later, so will we."

"Yes, yes, why don't you get me a lump of gold to use as a paperweight."

Han Chaoxia was really at a loss for words. This guy dared to say anything and he was a billionaire. When would he become a multi-millionaire? She was afraid that she would wake up laughing in her sleep.

"Do you like gold nuggets?"

Li Feng was surprised to hear that this was easy to do. There were several pieces in the safe. The big one probably weighed two or three kilograms, and the small one was at least half a kilogram.

"Yes, yes, I like it."

Han Chaoxia didn't know what to say. This guy always liked to interrupt others when they were talking about serious matters.

"That's easy."

Li Feng turned around, opened the safe and took out a piece of moderate weight. After weighing it, he thought it was okay, worth a pound. This could be used as a paperweight, which showed that he was not lazy at all.

"What's so simple? Why are you opening the cabinet?"

Han Chaoxia thought to herself, this guy should just talk, why would he open the safe.

"Get you a paperweight."

Li Feng said as a matter of course, and Han Zhaoxia was at a loss for words. "You, I was talking about the paperweight. You are such a person, I really don't know what to say to you."

"Didn't you say you liked gold nuggets as paperweights?"

Li Feng smiled and handed the gold brick to Han Zhaoxia. Han Zhaoxia took it subconsciously. The gold brick suddenly fell into her hand, and Han Zhaoxia was shocked. "Why is it so heavy?"

"Gold, the point is not normal."

"What do you say?"

Han Zhaoxia stared at the boss. "Gold, such a big piece." "You are not kidding."

"This is no joke."

Li Feng said with a smile. "You like gold nuggets, so this one is for you."

"Is it really gold?"

Han Zhaoxia still couldn't believe it. She just said it casually, and the man took out a piece of gold to use as a paperweight. For a moment, Han Zhaoxia felt like she was dreaming. "I must be dreaming."

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, why are you pinching me?"

Han Zhaoxia patted Li Feng. This person is really... Li Feng smiled. "If you don't pinch it, how do you know that you are not dreaming?"

"Huh, where did this gold nugget come from?"

"A friend gave it to me."

Li Feng casually mentioned it to a fishing friend. There was no other way to explain it. If he crawled under someone's bed and dug it out, no one would believe him.

"How much money was bet on you? You're really brave. What if it's fake?"

Han Chaoxia didn't ask Li Feng where the money came from. What she was most worried about now was whether the gold was real or fake. If it was fake, Li Feng would suffer a great loss.

"Don't worry, seriously, I've asked someone to check it out."

Li Feng said with a smile. "I'm not stupid."

"That is not bad."

Han Zhaoxia breathed a sigh of relief. "But a piece this big must be about half a pound, right?"

"About one and a half pounds."

"One and a half pounds?"

Wow, although Han Chaoxia didn’t know the specific price of gold, she heard from her colleagues in the office that the price of gold has risen by more than 500 yuan per gram recently. Doesn’t this mean that the gold in her hand is worth more than 400,000 yuan?

If you include the jade paperweight, the total amount is over one million. Han Chaoxia was a little confused.

"Are you okay?"

"Something happened, or you scared me."

Han Zhaoxia quickly pushed the jade paperweight and gold nuggets to Li Feng. "Put them in the safe quickly! These are worth over a million dollars."

"what."

Li Feng couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you say you wanted the gold nugget as a paperweight? Why don't you want it anymore?"

"Humph."

Han Zhaoxia snorted. "It's too heavy. I don't want it anymore."

"Hahaha."

Li Feng was overjoyed. "How about keeping this jade?"

"Aren't you afraid that your daughter will fall down someday?"

"It's just a rock." Li Feng waved his hand generously.

"How dare you say that."

Han Zhaoxia was truly helpless. This man was becoming increasingly boastful, without even a hint of shame. "Put it away quickly, before anyone sees it. Is this cabinet sturdy?"

"Do not worry."

Li Feng patted the safe. "This thing weighs six or seven hundred pounds. It takes two or three people to lift it."

"Mother."

Just as Li Feng was about to introduce his other collections, Li Yi shouted outside.

"what happened?"

Han Zhaoxia pushed Li Feng. "Put it away quickly. I'll go out and see what's wrong with this girl."

"Then go quickly."

Li Feng hurriedly opened the safe, put the gold nugget and jade paperweight into the safe, closed it, and hurried out.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, the little wolf knocked down a small jar." Han Chaoxia said.

"On the shelf?"

Li Feng looked at the antique display case. Damn, this little wolf really knows how to find it. The small jar is a mid-Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain, a fine piece. It must be worth at least three to five thousand yuan. "Is it not broken?"

"No, it fell on the blanket." Han Chaoxia said nonchalantly.

"That's fine, or I'll skin it." "No."

Li Yi held up his hands to stop Li Feng. "Dad, the little wolf is very well behaved."

"Be good, you just made me two hundred and fifty this afternoon, and now you're almost making me a few thousand more." Li Feng hit the little weasel. "Don't go over there to play next time, or I'll pull your fur out."

"what."

Han Zhaoxia listened to Li Feng's words with a hint of uncertainty. "You just said you almost got rid of a few thousand more. Are you talking about that little jar?"

"correct."

"what happened?"

Li Feng took it for granted. These were all real old things, without any adulteration.

"What else? Is this jar worth thousands of dollars?"

"Yes, it's a small blue and white porcelain jar from Jingdezhen in the mid-Qing Dynasty. You can't get it without three to five thousand." Li Feng checked the jar and found nothing wrong. "The buckle is pretty tight. How did you get this little thing off?"

This is a display cabinet with buckles. If you want to take down the ornaments, vases and plates, you have to remove the buttons first. I don't know whether this weasel is too smart or the buttons are too loose.

"antique?"

Han Chaoxia really didn't dare to think about it, and thought that the wooden shelves were all handicrafts.

"That's it."

"The others?"

Han Zhaoxia was unsure about the question, and Li Feng nodded. "Basically, they're all from the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. The prices aren't too high. The cheapest is around a thousand yuan, most are around one or two thousand, and there are only a few that cost three or five thousand."

"Don't look at me like that. Doesn't this show that our B&B has cultural heritage?"

"Cultural heritage, I think it's because you have a lot of money."

Han Chaoxia didn't know what to say to this person. This was all money. There were at least more than twenty of them, or at least 20,000 or 30,000. This person just put it outside so openly, not afraid of losing it.

Li Feng thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't tell her that the antique display cabinet was not cheap, costing tens of thousands of yuan, otherwise Han Chaoxia would have gone crazy.

"Can't this be moved into the house?"

There were people coming and going in this hall, and Han Chaoxia felt uneasy no matter how she looked at it.

"It's too big to move in. Don't worry, there are surveillance cameras."

Li Feng pointed at the surveillance camera and said, what's the difference between the B&B lobby and his own home?

"So what if there's surveillance? If they really want to steal, they can't stop them."

Han Zhaoxia muttered quietly, and Li Feng smiled as he listened. This was a bit of a worry. "That's because you haven't seen anything more ruthless."

Uncle Wu bought two Yongzheng blue and white porcelain bottles for Aunt Wang to use as vases. Li Feng saw that they were really filled with water and used to hold flowers. They were million-dollar vases.

If you don't really regard money as money, then what does it mean to you?

"What are you talking about?"

"No."

Li Feng saw Sister Wu waving at him, thinking that dinner was ready. "I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

"I'm afraid dinner is ready."

"Then you should take a quick look at it," Han Zhaoxia said. "Wu Tong and the others are going to send it over, right?"

“It’s going to be sent over.”

The food has been put on the dining car, and Li Feng asked the Gao Ju brothers to go over.

"Please take the trouble to make the trip."

"Boss, what are you saying? It's my duty." Brother Gao Ju didn't care. In the past two days, Li Feng had given him 15,000 yuan in commission alone, not including his salary.

"It will be better after hiring a waiter in a couple of days."

The job of delivering food is not a high-level job. Gao Cheng does it. The salary of both of them is mainly from working at another place, not from working at the B&B.

"Sister Wu, how's our dinner?"

"The chicken soup is almost ready."

Sister Wu said, "The fish pot is almost done. Just stir-fry a couple of side dishes and we'll be eating."

"Quite fast."

Li Feng opened the lid of the casserole. The chicken soup was really well-cooked and fragrant. "Make some fried rice."

"get ready."

The chicken soup with fried rice was absolutely delicious, and the small fish hotpot, with its fishy aroma mixed with the aroma of chili peppers, was bubbling. "Smells so good! Is this the heart and lung hotpot?"

"Yes."

Sister Wu said with a smile, "Zhaoxia loves this."

"Well, who wouldn't like this dish?"

Cut the heart, lungs and liver into small pieces and add pickles. Stir-fry the chili peppers until they are a bit crispy, and then cook them in a dry pan. It will be really spicy and crispy, and it is a great dish to go with rice.

Then there is the sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Not only is the color beautiful, but the sour and sweet taste is so good that it would be strange if little kids don’t like it.

Several main dishes have been prepared and it is time to eat. Li Feng called out to Li Ran and Li Yi to stop playing and come back quickly to wash their hands and eat.

"So fast?"

"The main course is cooked together."

Li Feng said, "I'll stir-fry two side dishes right now."

"By the way, today we have the best delicacy in Jiangnan, you can try it."

"You, how can something so expensive taste good?"

When Han Chaoxia heard this, she was surprised that the guy was not taking money seriously at all when he was having the best Jiangnan food at home, which cost more than 2,000 yuan.

"Okay, I won't eat it next time."

"You."

Han Zhaoxia didn't know what to say. Li Feng smiled and teased Li Yi. He knew Han Zhaoxia would never turn his back on him in front of outsiders. After dinner, they took a stroll, mainly taking Li Yi and Li Ran to feed the big black bull and the giant salamander.

Another thing is catching fireflies. Fireflies are rare these days, but I didn't expect to see quite a few of them in the woods near the B&B in recent days. "Okay, stop playing and go to bed." After settling the two children, Li Feng returned to the room.

"Why are you so strong?"

"Hehe, it's been a few days, I miss it a little bit."

"Slow down."

Really, Han Zhaoxia was helpless. This person was not serious. "Have you told Sister Wu about tomorrow's lunch?"

"I told you, don't worry, just wait and see."

"Don't mess around."

Han Chaoxia was afraid that Li Feng would cause trouble quietly.

"Let's not talk about irrelevant things right now, just finish it first."

"You're like a cow. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to talk after this."

After a night of fighting, Li Feng didn't feel tired at all. If he had known this, he would have ridden horses and shot arrows for almost two hours last night.
