Chapter 141 Gouzi, I’ll Leave It to You to “Speak of Yue”! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"Sister Zhou is back?"

Diao Chan heard the voice from Zhou Ruotong, and the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Li Yu nodded, put away his phone and said:

"I'm back. It seems to be quite fruitful. I'll go to the kitchen to cook. You should do your homework and don't be distracted. Otherwise, I won't take you to the amusement park."

"I know, I will be obedient."

Hoho, Sister Guiying is indeed right, she will return safely, but she still can't take it lightly, she has to see Sister Zhou before celebrating.

The Internet says that it is unlucky to open champagne during a trip, but I cannot make that mistake.

What is champagne? I don’t know if it’s suitable for girls to drink... Well, don’t let your mind wander anymore. Baby cicada, you have to work hard and do your homework, otherwise you won’t be able to go to the amusement park.

The girl held her breath and concentrated, picked up the pen and just wrote a few words, when a new thought flashed in her mind:

What are the activities at the playground? In order not to hold back your husband, it’s not too much for me to get to know you first, right?

Thinking of this, she picked up the phone next to her, unlocked it, and started searching for the amusement park, and then... she was fascinated by the projects introduced inside.

I want to play the merry-go-round!

I want to play time travel!

I want to play with pirate ships and bumper cars!

Ahhhhhhhhh I want to play with everything...

In front of the stove, Li Yu poured the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried them with hot oil to release the moisture from the chicken.

Then add onions, ginger, dried chilies and other ingredients, stir-fry again until fragrant, pour a little cooking wine along the edge of the pot, cook in soy sauce and other condiments, heat water and simmer.

The meat of free-range chicken is relatively firm. Generally, it needs to be simmered over low heat for more than 40 minutes before the meat becomes flavorful. If you use three-yellow chicken, it usually takes about 20 minutes to reduce the juice.

Fast-growing chickens that are ready for sale in thirty or forty days and native chickens that are grown for about a year are completely different in terms of taste and cooking methods.

While the chicken was stewed, Li Yu heated up the bowl that had been steamed at noon, steamed a large pot of rice, and prepared some other dishes.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the people who explored the cave returned safely.

Li Yu came out from the kitchen and quickly took the backpack from Miss Zhou:

"Are you tired? Wash your hands and eat quickly. It's all your favorite food."

Zhou Ruotong nodded. Although he was a little tired, his tone revealed excitement:

"When I made a wish last time, I hoped for a major archaeological discovery years ago, but I didn't expect it to come true... The stone carvings of the Jin Dynasty in the cave are very rare and will be of great help to the study of the history of the Song Dynasty."

When I go back, I will sort out the pictures I took and send them to my second uncle. I believe he will not be able to sit still.

Another member of the archaeological team took a breath and said with a smile:

"In addition to the stone carvings of the Jin Dynasty, there are actually many stone carvings and graffiti from the Tang and Song Dynasties hiding from Liao soldiers, bandits, and Jin people in the cave. They are also very precious."

These carvings are of great help to historical research. What's even more valuable is that we only explored three or four caves this time, and we haven't had time to see half of the caves. I believe that after reading them all, we can find more valuable stone carvings.

Seeing that everyone was very excited, Li Yu asked curiously:

"Do you know who dug the cave?"

Wu Song took off his nearly one hundred kilogram equipment backpack and placed it in the corridor at the entrance of the restaurant:

"It's very complicated. It can be traced back to the Black Mountain Army who was hiding from Zhang Yan during the Three Kingdoms period. Then there were people digging in. There were broken earthen jars in the depths. Ms. Zhou suspected that the people living inside were using them to get water from the river below. .”

There is a river below the cave. It is in the dry season now, so it is not obvious at first sight, but the water is quite strong in summer.

When they were building the B&B, Li Yu and Sun Facai still took fishing rods and went down the hillside behind the B&B and swung a few rods, but except for catching the earth a few times, they were always in the air force.

Sun Facai's lures, which he bought for thousands of dollars, yielded no results. He was either frying lines or hunting turtles. He was so angry that he went to the market to buy a few fish, put them in a large water tank at home and fished them out. Only then was he satisfied.

Everyone washed their hands and came to the restaurant to start eating.

When Zhou Ruotong saw the food prepared on the table, his cold face became a little softer:

"Thank you."

You're welcome. A few words from you would be better than anything else... Li Yu took his mobile phone and sent Diao Chan a message:

"Your sister Zhou is back. Hurry downstairs for dinner."

"Okay, be there soon!"

Um? It came back instantly?

Li Yu didn't pay attention at first, but the girl replied so quickly that it reminded him of his own experience of secretly playing with his mobile phone when he was in school.

It seems that I have to put away my mobile phone next time. The disciples who don’t look back have become the masters of ZTE, while the students who stay by their side to teach have become addicted to mobile phones.

Soon, Diao Chan floated into the restaurant like a butterfly:

"Sister Zhou, I'm so worried about you."

"Thank you, Xiaochan. Wash your hands and eat quickly. Your cousin is very good at his craftsmanship."

Diao Chan washed her hands, dragged over a chair, sat down next to Zhou Ruotong, and muttered her worries and prayers while eating.

When he heard the joke about not opening champagne halfway, Zhou Ruotong burst into laughter:

"It's not too dangerous, but the road is not easy to walk. If we develop tourist attractions in the future and widen the road, it will actually be quite interesting. The scenery inside is also very good."

I have been doing aid recently, but I don’t have the energy to develop new attractions... Li Yu put a piece of pork into a bowl, ate it with rice, and asked:

"Who is the rebel general of the Jin Kingdom? Is there a name in history?"

A middle-aged man in his forties on the archaeological team was very interested in this topic. He pushed up his glasses and said:

"The name left in the grotto is Wanyan Xiangnan, but there is no such person in history. We initially suspected that he had a heart for the Song Dynasty, so he changed his name to such a name... Wanyan Xiangnan was a man of ten thousand households, and he should be in the army. It’s very prestigious, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to gather thousands of soldiers and horses to respond to Yue Fei.”

Isn’t the Wanyan family a royal family?

Is this also a rebellion?

But considering that in the Song Dynasty, even the emperor had to change his name to Wanyan Gou, it is not surprising that the royal family rebelled.

Well, Da Song is still very experienced in comparing bad guys.

After dinner, Zhou Ruotong paid five hundred yuan for each of the village guides, then went to the front desk to pay for the meal, which cost two thousand yuan, and asked Xiaoju to issue an invoice.

These expenses are all reimbursable, so there is no need to save money, and it is indeed more difficult to stop by without a B&B.

After issuing the invoice, Zhou Ruotong took out a transparent bag from his bag, which contained some pottery pot fragments and decayed ropes. These must be analyzed to determine the specific age, and then the reason for hiding in the cave can be inferred.

"I'll go back with them first and hold a meeting quickly. I may go down again in the near future to explore all the caves."

After making a major discovery, Zhou Ruotong could not stay still for a moment. After saying goodbye to Li Yu, he drove away in a hurry with the archaeological team.

Looking at the Land Rover Defender going away, Diao Chan sighed:

"I didn't expect Sister Zhou to be so enthusiastic about her work. She didn't even bother to praise the food cooked by Brother Yu."

Li Yu looked at her and asked:

"When did you become so enthusiastic about studying?"

Diao Chan stuck out her tongue with a guilty conscience and whispered:

"I'm working hard too, but some of the questions are too difficult and I still can't understand them."

Li Yu smiled:

"Stop playing with your mobile phone and try to focus on studying."

Diao Chan felt even more guilty:

"Is the study equipped with surveillance cameras?"

After saying this, she realized that she was just asking for it, and she quickly admitted her mistake:

"I was just curious about the amusement park, and after searching it, I lost track of time... I'm sorry, sir, I won't dare to do it next time."

It's getting dark now, and the cold wind is blowing.

Li Yu helped her put on the hood of her down jacket and zip up the collar:

"It will be sunny the day after tomorrow. Then I will take you to the amusement park and let you experience it."

Unfortunately, Yinzhou is a small city. Although there are facilities such as playgrounds, they are generally small and there are few projects. If you want to have fun, you have to go to some big cities.

"Sir, why don't you give me a lesson, otherwise I will feel uneasy physically and mentally."

Diao Chan tightened the string on her hat, put her hands in her pockets, and followed Li Yu like a quail. She did something wrong and was cared for instead, which made the little girl feel very guilty.

Li Yu smiled and said:

"I'm not your sister Zhou, why should I be punished? Besides, it's not a big deal. I used to play with my phone secretly when I was in school."

Back in the study, Wu Song, who had changed his clothes, had already started reading.

When Diao Chan saw it, she quickly sat down and looked up to the top student.

Li Yu searched for Wanyan Xiangnan's information in his spare time and found that there was indeed no such person in the history of the Song Dynasty. He didn't know whose pseudonym it was.

If a ten thousand households surrendered with their troops, if it had been like this in other dynasties, not only would they have greeted him in reverse, they would have at least treated him with courtesy.

But the Song Dynasty took a completely opposite approach.

It can only be said that the behavior of the Song Dynasty royal family was worthy of the humiliation and suffering they suffered.

It was just a pity for the people. It is said that during Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, many rebel armies arose on the north bank of the Yellow River. By the time they reached Zhuxian Town, the main force of the Jin Kingdom had been disabled, and Jin Wushu hid in Kaifeng City, unable to fight anymore.

At this time, Yue Fei's strategy had formed an encirclement of Kaifeng City. The next step was to capture Jin Wushu alive, then cross the Yellow River and join the rebel army directly.

Not to mention directly attacking Huanglong, but at least we can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

It's a pity that the twelve golden orders shattered this possibility. Even Yue Fei himself looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Ten years of work were destroyed in one day."

No matter, let Gouzi sleep with "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo" on his pillow tonight. If the world in the book can be opened, wouldn't this be a wave of support?

It is said that the Yue World is only a few years later than the Water Margin World. I don’t know if the two worlds can be merged together.

It would be fun if we could combine Shuo Yue and Water Margin. First, we can verify what Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts is like.

In Water Margin, Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts is at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and is not particularly outstanding. He is even worse than Lin Chong, and is on the same level as Qin Ming.

But in Yuezhong, Hu Yanzhuo, who has entered his old age, suddenly became a super master on par with Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu even needed a sneak attack to defeat him.

The same character has such a huge gap in combat performance. I wonder what the effect will be if they really collide.

In addition, it would be interesting to have a melee between a few of them, such as Gao Chong, who has the ceiling of Yue's combat power, Lu Junyi, who has the ceiling of Water Margin generals, Lu Bu, who has the ceiling of Three Kingdoms' combat power, and Luo Chun, who has the ceiling of "Xing Tang Zhuan".

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yu received a message from Zhou Ruotong:

"Starting tomorrow, I have booked two suites on the third floor of your B&B. It will take about three days. My second uncle saw the photos of the stone carvings and will bring someone over from the capital tomorrow."

Seeing this news, Li Yu quickly called Xiaoju and asked her to delete the two suites from the system.

Fortunately, suites are usually not reserved by anyone, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange them.

After handling the matter properly, Li Yu returned an OK gesture to Zhou Ruotong, and then asked:

"Does your second uncle have any dietary restrictions? I can make arrangements in advance."

"No, he's less picky about food than me."

Well, I have been calling Professor Zhou recently, so I called the real Professor Zhou... Li Yu suddenly remembered that Xu Beihong's horse was still hanging in the living room downstairs, and couldn't help but ask:

"Your second uncle doesn't know my identity, right?"

"I don't know. You should put away the paintings and jade ornaments in the living room, lest he recognize them and ask you questions."

Li Yu scratched his head. Except for ornaments and paintings, all things related to cultural relics had to be put away. Zhou Ruotong was young and had piercing eyes. Her second uncle must be even more powerful.

Fortunately, the vault has started to be used, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with the things in the room.

Thinking of this, he said to Diao Chan:

"Xiao Chan, follow me downstairs."

"oh……"

Diao Chan put down her textbook and went to the living room downstairs. When she saw Li Yu stepping on a chair to pick out Xu Beihong's paintings, she asked curiously:

"Why put away such a beautiful painting?"

Li Yu smiled:

"It's too expensive and I always feel unsafe..."

He carefully rolled up the painting and put it back into the special painting and calligraphy tube, letting Diao Chan hold it. Then he picked up the jade ornaments placed at the front desk. The two of them went to the backyard together, opened the safe door, and put the ornaments and paintings away. Go in.

"Your sister Zhou's second uncle is coming to stay at the B&B tomorrow. He gave you these paintings and ornaments. If you don't put them away, he will definitely recognize them at a glance."

In the vault, Li Yu briefly explained to Diao Chan, then took her away, locked the door, and returned to study upstairs.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wu Song and Diao Chan went back to their rooms to rest. No one was chatting in the living room anymore. Brother Dao sneaked back upstairs to sleep.

It came to the carpet where it usually slept, and then discovered that there was a copy of "The Complete Biography of Yue Shuo" lying on it.

"Woo?"

Brother Dao called out in confusion.

Li Yu, who had been waiting for this guy, came over, sat cross-legged on the carpet, put his arms around Brother Dao's neck and said:

"Can you open up the world of this book? If so, I will cook meat for you differently this month. As long as it is meat sold in the market, I will buy it for you."

Brother Dao rolled his eyes but did not express his position. Li Yu knew very well that this guy was raising the price.

"Of course, if you don't help me with this, I will become a vegetarian for the time being. After all, our family is quite poor. We have less than two million in our account, which is not enough for you to buy meat."

Well, cry about poverty first, and then negotiate the terms, lest the dog asks for too much.

"Woooo..."

Brother Dao had doubts in his eyes, but he still stretched out his front paws and pulled "Shuo Yue Complete Biography" to his feet. Then he looked at Li Yu with a look of "I have already shown my sincerity, it's your turn to show your sincerity." Posture.

Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"I heard that rabbit meat is good for your health. How about I buy some rabbits another day? You haven't eaten rabbit meat yet, so I'll give you a try."

Brother Dao patted the book with his paw.

Li Yu didn't understand:

"What do you mean? Let me continue with the conditions?"

Gouzi blinked.

"We'll have enough beef and mutton from now on, so you can eat as much as you want. I'll buy you some sea fish or something for you to try later. You haven't eaten salmon yet, have you? It's so delicious, I can't get enough of it."

In fact, Li Yu had never eaten it, but in order to attract this guy, he had to show that he was very delicious.

Then, after promising a bunch of conditions, Brother Dao lay down on the carpet and prepared to sleep, but instead of pillowing "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" on his pillow, he used his paws to pull at it. He didn't know what it meant.

Li Yu asked:

"Are you agreeing? Then starting from tomorrow, I will not cook meat for you again. Let's start with the healthiest chicken breast. What do you think..."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Dao angrily kicked aside the "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" with his foot.

It seems that he just agreed... Li Yu quickly took the book and put it back in its old position:

"I will eat rabbit meat tomorrow. If there is no one in the market, I will go into the mountains to catch it. I will definitely make it available to you."

"Woof!"

Brother Dao stretched out his paw and patted Li Yu's hand, then turned over, placed his paw on "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo", closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Li Yu wisely turned off the light, walked out of the study, and went back to his room to wash up and go to bed.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside.

Li Yu got dressed, washed up, went downstairs and ran along the mountain road with Zhao Dahu. When he returned to the B&B, he was about to go to the restaurant with Diao Chan for dinner when a car horn sounded at the door.

When he arrived at the gate, he saw the Land Rover Defender who had been here yesterday parked at the gate. Zhou Ruotong opened the door and got out of the car, looking a little tired.

"I asked you to come early, but not so early, right?"

Zhou Ruotong complained in a low voice. He was sleeping soundly when he was called up by phone to pick someone up at the high-speed rail station. No matter how good his temper was, he still got angry when he got up.

The passenger door opened, and a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure and thick-soled glasses got out of the car. Compared with Zhou Ruotong, he was in good spirits:

"Tongtong, is this the owner of the B&B who discovered the stone carvings?"

Zhou Ruotong nodded and said to Li Yu:

"This is my second uncle, the founder of the Song Dynasty Museum and a professor of the History Department of Peking University. After hearing about the stone carvings, he came over to see it."

She deliberately gave such details because she was worried that Zhou Bingliang would suspect that the two were familiar with each other and then deduce the true origin of the cultural relics.

But Zhou Bingliang was not in the mood to think about this at this time. His mind was filled with the stone carvings of Wanyan Xiangnan:

"Can we go take a look after dinner? I want to know what other caves have. If there are many stone carvings, I would like to apply for this scenic spot to be a co-construction unit of the Museum of the Two Song Dynasties. What do you think, Tongtong?"

Building a unit together?

Is there any benefit to this?

Li Yu had a look of doubt on his face and wanted to inquire, but he was afraid of being too utilitarian and annoying Professor Zhou, which would cause the co-construction unit's sign to fly away.

Zhou Ruotong asked:

"Second uncle, are you serious? You won't make fun of this boss, right?"

"Really, the protection of stone carvings in our country is far from enough. It just so happens that the Museum of the Song Dynasty still has some resources, which can be invested and set an example for our peers."

After Zhou Bingliang finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yu meaningfully, then took out his suitcase from the car and led several people from the museum to the door of the B&B...
