My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 95 Return to Hanjiaba, the writer who came to visit

"Well, the whole family is on stage."

Han Zhaoxia served as a waiter, serving tea and dishes, while Li Feng, Gao Jiu, and Gao Cheng helped in the kitchen and served food. That wasn't all; Li Yi also acted as a tour guide, introducing the guests and performing.

The giant salamander, the little wolf, and a few puppies all listened to Li Yi. The girl was so happy that she ordered the giant salamander to ask for fish and shrimp, and the little wolf to perform a bow, etc. Not to mention, there was actually a group of little friends surrounding them.

"Yiyi, it's time to eat."

"Asagi, you should go eat too."

Li Feng wiped his hands. "It's almost done here. You take Yiyi and the others to eat first. I'll be over there after I finish my work here."

"Then I'll go there first."

Why can't the couple not be in the private room? What a mess. Li Feng cleaned up and found that the dishes in the hall had been arranged, and the health banquet in the private room had also been arranged. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Wu, you guys should also clean up and eat. You've worked hard today. After dinner, go home early."

There's only one health feast tonight. You can come back later. The ingredients are ready. "Add two more dishes."

After saying that, Li Feng returned to the private room, where they had just started eating. "I'm sorry, brother-in-law."

“I didn’t expect so many people today.”

“More tourists is a good thing.”

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Feng took a few mouthfuls of rice. After the guests left, he wanted to see them off, especially Wu Zhengxiong and Zheng Tianxing.

"Mr. Wu, I'm so sorry, we're really out of stock of knife loach right now. Okay, I'll let you know when we have it back."

The B&B doesn't sell razorfin loaches to the public anymore. They're barely enough for the health banquet, and selling them separately is a bit foolish. After seeing off Wu Zhengxiong, Zheng Tianxing, and the others, the tourists in the lobby dispersed, and the busyness finally subsided.

After the hall was cleaned up, Li Feng let Sister Wu go home from get off work.

"Don't be busy anymore."

Li Feng pulled Han Zhaoxia over. "Take a break. Li Ran hasn't finished his homework yet, right?"

"A little more."

"Then you should go back early too."

"Ah."

"I packed some beef and mutton for you, and also a pound of small fish. Would you like to pick up some swordfish?"

"Forget it, this isn't enough to sell, it's such an expensive thing."

Han Zhaoxia said, "It works just once, and you can eat it every day."

"Okay, okay, okay. Oh, and take the jade parrot paperweight with you."

"Let's put it in the safe."

One million and a half million! Just thinking about it was a bit scary. After sending Han Zhaoxia and her brother-in-law away, the entire B&B suddenly became deserted. Wu Tong and Qin Yue left around ten in the morning, leaving only Li Feng, the Gao brothers, and Wu Zhenhua and his wife.

The next week wasn't too busy. Sister Wu and the two waiters she hired meant Li Feng didn't have to worry too much about the B&B. He could weave bamboo baskets and other bamboo products, or help deliver sows.

The progress on the tasks was quite good. The bamboo crafts master was almost 60 percent complete, and the sow postpartum care was close to 50 percent. "Second brother, pack up our shopping. We'll be back tonight."

"I'll take care of it now."

This time, he brought more items, including carpentry supplies. Of course, he also brought more vanishing cream, soap, and towels. He also brought more beef, mutton, pheasant, and candy. After all, the system had been upgraded, and Li Feng could carry 20 kilograms by himself.

In addition to the ten kilograms each of the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Jiu, we can carry forty kilograms of goods this time. We also brought five kilograms of instant noodles. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the packaging we had in the past, so we could only bring the noodles.

"What's this?"

"Rice popcorn balls."

Gao opened it and showed it to Li Feng. "It won't go up to the beams, so I've made some preparations."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."

There were also some paints for steamed buns, but forget about the eggs. Just kidding, throwing eggs back then was probably crazy. "Rice popcorn balls are good. They're light. A bag this big probably weighs less than two pounds, right?"

"almost."

"That's great. Okay, pack up and go to the video room at 8 o'clock. Go back early."

Li Feng looked at the rice krispies balls. They were pretty good, and there were some colorful ones in such a big bag.

The three of them carried the items to the video room, checked them, and weighed them. "Okay, a total of 42 kilograms. What are these? Let's go, shall we?"

"Planer, let me take a few slices."

"Where are these?"

"Rice Krispie Balls."

Gao pointed to a bag of candied popcorn. "When you're going from village to village, you have to ask around. Kids love these."

"You are quite astute."

This thing is big in size, but light in weight, even lighter than a candy. Gao Ju is really thoughtful.

"hey-hey."

"Okay, let's go back."

Back in the backyard, the three of them exchanged a glance and tiptoed back to their rooms. "Let's sort the things out first. Put the unused items in the firewood pile so no one can see them. I'll go to the commune market later and take the items out. That way, I can clean them up." "Honestly, this is really interesting. We don't even dare to take out small things. Fortunately, you've become a famous writer, boss, so this gives us another good excuse," Gao Jue whispered.

"Oh, what are we going to do with all these letters? There's no place to put them at home."

"I'd say take it back."

"Take them back! That's a good idea. The memorial is launching a new project, and these letters could be used as a separate exhibition hall." Li Feng was excited by this. "Don't mention it, the Educated Youth Home. These letters are basically from the Educated Youth. As long as we cover up the names, everything else can be displayed."

"Of course, boss, you're smart."

Gao agreed and even flattered him a little. It was a good idea. He thought that there would be a lot of letters coming in the future. If he built a home for educated youth, there would be hundreds or even thousands of letters from all over the country. It would definitely attract some tourists.

Especially compared with other memorial halls, these letters are unique. If we set up a stamp exhibition hall, there will be a lot of room for improvement. The supply and marketing cooperative exhibition hall can also add some cigarettes, alcohol and other items.

When we have enough money one day, we can also build a food stamp exhibition hall and a coin exhibition hall to truly expand and strengthen the memorial hall and make it the best exhibition hall of life in the 1970s in China. The more Li Feng thought about it, the more excited he became. Without the Time and Space Hotel, Li Feng would definitely not dare to think about it.

But now it’s different. As long as the Time and Space Hotel takes its time, it will sooner or later create a memorial hall that will surprise everyone.

"Okay, stop flattering me and get ready for bed."

Back in the main room, the three of them quietly made their beds and were about to fall asleep when they heard footsteps from the outer courtyard. "It's the militia patrol. Go to sleep. There might have been some activity recently, so the militia patrols have increased significantly."

"I'm afraid it's still a matter of speculation."

"No more talking, go to bed early."

The next day, Li Feng and his friends woke up a little late, but luckily they didn't have to go to work. In the yard, they were already busy with their work, shouting "sister-in-law", "Antun", "Anchun" and others, and it looked like they had been working for quite some time.

"An Yu, An You, An Cheng, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about it."

As he spoke, Li Feng took out the towels, soap, and shampoo.

An You and the other two were delighted when they saw it. They refused it for a while but then took it. What a good thing! Just look at the towel, it has colors, it's beautiful and soft, it's obviously a good thing. And the soap smells really good.

The shampoo cream is good and has a fragrance. I'm afraid the commune supply and marketing cooperative may not sell it. It's a really good thing. The three of them are very happy. It's really a good decision to come to Li Feng's house to work. Not only do they have delicious meals every day at noon, but they also get free food.

The salary is high, so it's no wonder that others are envious. They are looking for Han Fuguo and Han Futian to make a fuss. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

"Shout out sister-in-law, Antun, Anchun."

"I won't give everyone towels this time. Just half a bar of soap per person. Don't think it's too little."

"What are you saying? We all have it."

"After so many days, I'm afraid it's all used up. If there's any extra at home, put it away quickly."

Li Feng stuffed it directly into Antun, Anchun, and shouted to his sister-in-law. "Don't think it's too little."

"This is what happened."

The three of them finally accepted the soap happily. If such a good soap were sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, it would at least make a few yuan. Li Feng was really willing to spend money. The lunch was much better than the previous two days. The pheasant they brought was stewed early in the morning.

They also added vermicelli and chestnuts. The aroma was so good that Anyou and his friends were drooling. "Everyone, don't just stare, eat it."

"Come on, come on."

The smell made the little kids outside the yard drool. Unfortunately, there were not many pheasants. Li Feng was not generous enough to invite the little kids in. He just asked Daya to grab some popcorn balls and distribute them to the little kids outside the yard.

"This Li Feng."

Han Futian didn't know what to say. He was eating meat again. He was afraid that someone would come to look for him again in the next few days. Oh, I'll talk to him later. He didn't blame others for making trouble when he was eating meat every other day.

This job is so good. When An You and his colleagues finish their work in the evening, they can go to the river to take a bath. They have beautiful towels, fragrant soap, and shampoo full of fragrant bubbles. These make many people in the team envious.

"This Li Feng."

Han Futian ran to Han Fuguo and complained. "I gave towels and soap to An You and the others again. Now that they're making a fuss, my nephews are running home to write manuscripts. They all want to help Li Feng build a house."

"It's the same in my family. My aunts just talked to Chunhua about this."

"Go back and tell Li Feng how other families are going to build houses after what he did."

Han Futian was right. Not only did they provide meals, but they also gave him meat every few days. Even more so, they gave him towels and soap. Which rural family would give such things when doing work? Li Feng had no idea that a few random gifts had caused quite a stir.

But now that he had the identity of a writer, he really didn't need to think too much about these trivial matters. However, the next day, Li Feng received a letter from a local and was a little confused. What kind of literary club was this in the county?

"Please give the lecture yourself?"

"Yes, they asked me to tell you something," Wu Shengnan said with a smile. "Everyone is looking forward to hearing from you, a great writer."

"Really? Besides giving lectures, is there nothing else?"

Li Feng is not very interested in giving lectures, but if he has food coupons and lecture fees, he might consider it.

"Nothing else?"

"I didn't mention what to eat. A state-owned restaurant would be fine."

"No."

Wu Shengnan seemed to understand something. "We're all amateurs, and since we bring our own food, I'm afraid I can't treat you to a meal."

"What's the matter?"

Li Feng thought he must have misheard. They were giving a lecture and expected him to bring his own lunch. What the hell was wrong with him? "Never mind. I've been busy lately. The house is almost ready for construction." It was just a joke. A bunch of freeloaders. Li Feng didn't bother to pay attention.
