Chapter 142 A Simple Business War [Asking for Monthly Votes]

"The grotto is on the cliff opposite and can be seen from here."

In the suite on the third floor, Zhou Bingliang stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a small portable telescope in his hand. Following Zhou Ruotong's prompts, he carefully looked at the cave on the cliff opposite.

After watching for a while, he put down the telescope, his face full of surprise:

"Most of the ancient stone carvings are similar to what you would expect if you visited this place. Very few of them actually involve historical events. But according to your description, the stone carvings here are completely the opposite. Most of them are related to history. They are worth studying... Pang Donghai When will it arrive?”

The preliminary inspection of the grottoes was done by the Yin Ruins archaeological team, so Zhou Bingliang could not leave Pang Donghai to investigate alone. The two had already talked on the phone last night and confirmed the joint inspection plan.

Well, since we have lost the opportunity, we should form an offensive and defensive alliance with the archaeological team to prevent more museums from getting involved.

Especially the Guozitou museum that likes to steal other people's treasures, we should keep away from them, lest they just cut off the stone carvings and carry them away.

Zhou Ruotong looked at the time on his phone and said:

"It's just past seven o'clock. Captain Pang has to organize the equipment of the archaeological team. He won't be here until at least nine o'clock... Let's go have breakfast first. The breakfast at this B&B is delicious."

There are important cultural relics discovered in the grotto opposite, so the archaeological team naturally needs to be equipped.

For example, the mechanical baskets, generators, high-strength slings, etc. that can clean the glass of the building must be transported and brought to the opposite side of the cliff manually, and then set up and installed.

In this way, experts can enter the cave in a hanging basket without having to hang down with ropes.

When he heard that Pang Donghai could not come until after nine o'clock, Zhou Bingliang planned to eat first and fill his stomach before thinking about other things:

"To be praised by my eldest niece for how delicious it is, it seems that this B&B owner is indeed quite capable."

He has some skills, but the old man is half-hearted and never gets it right... Zhou Ruotong led Zhou Bingliang and his group to the restaurant downstairs to prepare for breakfast.

"Woof!"

Brother Dao was squatting at the door of the restaurant waiting for his breakfast. When he saw Zhou Ruotong, he hurried over and rubbed his head on her leg, looking very affectionate.

Zhou Bingliang glanced at his niece with a half-smile:

"Didn't you say you haven't been here a few times? Is this dog a familiar person?"

Zhou Ruotong patted Brother Dao on the head:

"I bought it toys, so it always remembers me."

When we arrived at the restaurant, everyone washed their hands, took the tableware and started to take the food.

Diao Chan was munching corn. When she saw Zhou Ruotong, she quickly said hello:

"Sister Zhou, come here. Today's corn is particularly tender and delicious!"

"I'll taste it later, you can eat it first."

Zhou Ruotong agreed and explained to Zhou Bingliang in a low voice:

"This is the boss's cousin. She has been living in the B&B recently. We hit it off and have a good relationship."

Zhou Bingliang smiled:

"Second uncle is also young. Tongtong can do whatever he wants without considering the opinions of his family. No matter what other people think, I will always support you anyway."

Zhou Ruotong knew what his second uncle was planning:

"If I find cultural relics from the Song Dynasty in the future, I will consider you first."

Zhou Bingliang felt happy and quickly added:

"Don't just limit it to the Song Dynasty. You can relax it a little bit. It can be further away from the Qin, Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Second uncle, I'm not picky about food."

Sooner or later, the four of you brothers will fight over cultural relics... Zhou Ruotong said, "I'll do my best," then took the tableware and started to take the food.

After the meal, Zhou Bingliang walked around the B&B and walked into the stables, looking at the horses fed inside with interest.

After opening the horse's mouth and observing it, he initially determined its age:

"They are all old horses. Were they eliminated from which racecourse?"

Zhou Ruotong also doesn’t know the origin of the horse:

"It seems to be collected from other places. Would you like me to ride on it and feel it for a while?"

"No, it's important... I'll take your aunt for a vacation when I'm not busy. It won't be too late to have some fun then... Is Boss Li's family from the local area? What do your parents do? Do you have any brothers or sisters at home? ?”

Zhou Ruotong shook his head:

"I don't know, I don't know, I haven't asked."

Seeing his niece's uncooperative attitude, Zhou Bingliang didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he raised his phone and took a set of photos.

Just when I was about to post on Moments, I suddenly thought that my elder brother Zhou Bingshan might see it, so I gave up the idea.

Well, we can't get carried away, lest we attract the boss's attention... we'll wait until this inspection is over to make the boss angry.

At 9:30 in the morning, two boxes of goods were parked at the door of the B&B, full of equipment from the archaeological team.

The driver looked at the road conditions leading to Shitouzhai Old Village and tried to drive up.

Wang Shengli brought Wu Song and members of the village committee to help. The more valuable the cultural relics discovered, the brighter his face as the village director would be.

"Boss Li, can we order food here?"

Pang Donghai drove a pickup truck to the door of the B&B, picked up Zhou Bingliang and his party, and ordered lunch boxes for thirty people from Li Yu as a working meal.

Li Yu was very happy when business came to him and readily agreed.

After Pang Donghai left, Zhou Ruotong was about to drive up to follow him when Li Yu told him:

"You haven't had a good rest. Be careful when crossing the cliff and don't show off."

"No, there are professionals from the archaeological team building the passage today, so I don't need to take risks."

The archaeological team has always been constrained by funds and has been unable to do many things. Now that it encounters the Museum of the Song Dynasty with sufficient funds, it is natural to show off its talents.

After Zhou Ruotong left, Li Yu saw that the restaurant's disposable lunch boxes were a little short, so he drove to wholesale a box, then turned to the vegetable market and bought two skinned rabbits.

After all, you have already promised Gouzi, and you can't break your promise.

And by letting Brother Dao eat and drink well, he might be able to open up the world of Yue Yue more quickly.

It was almost a week after Mu Guiying came over last time after reading "The Romance of the Yang Family". I don't know how long it will take this time. I hope it will be faster and help Marshal Yue as soon as possible.

Yue Fei doesn't know which node he will insert into. It would be perfect if he could change the emperor.

Wanyan Gou really wasn't worth Yue Fei's efforts, let alone Qin Hui, a grandson who jumped up and down.

Back at the B&B, Li Yu soaked the rabbit in cold water. Rabbit meat has a strong fishy smell and needs to be soaked in cold water before cooking.

While the meat was soaking, he started preparing lunch.

Taking into account the cold weather and heavy physical labor today, the dishes Li Yu prepared were quite high in calories, including roasted yuba pork, mapo tofu, potato chicken nuggets, hot and sour cabbage, and unlimited rice. And the pork rib soup for one person is enough for everyone to enjoy.

At 11:30 in the morning, the lunch box was ready.

Li Yu took out the rabbit meat and cooked it on the stove over low heat. Then he put the packed lunch boxes into an insulated box, and put rice and bowls of soup in another box.

Seal the box, move it to the trunk of the car, and drive up the mountain to deliver the food.

When Wu Song was building a house, Wang Chunxi specially repaired the mountain road to allow construction vehicles to go up. Although cars could not pass, the SUV had no problem.

Li Yu drove slowly up the mountain, passed through the desolate and dilapidated old village of Shitouzhai, and came to the open space at the west end of the village. He saw the boxes of goods, pickup trucks, and Zhou Ruotong's Land Rover Guard parked here.

As soon as he parked the car, the door of the Land Rover Defender next to him was pushed open. Zhou Ruotong stepped out of the car with a mocking look on his face:

"Aren't you reluctant to take a bad road? Why did you drive up there too?"

"In order to make money, it doesn't matter if you take some bad roads."

Li Yu picked up the thermos cup placed on the passenger seat and handed it to Zhou Ruotong:

"I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I made some hot drinks with chestnuts... Lunch is in the trunk. If you're hungry, eat first. If it's not enough, I'll go down and get it."

Zhou Ruotong opened the thermos cup and smelled the rich aroma of chestnut milk, and her heart became inexplicably sweet:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yu said like a profiteer:

"This is just a matter of helping others. Just ask Captain Pang to pay more for the meals later... Is there a standard limit for the working meals of your archaeological team? Is a serving of thirty expensive?"

Zhou Ruotong rolled his eyes at him.

You stinky guy, you are laughing and joking when you should be talking about business, and when you are not talking about business, you are like Shen Wansan possessed. Sooner or later, you will be mad to death.

Li Yu opened the trunk, took out the two insulated boxes, and looked around:

"Where are they?"

"They've all gone over there. I stayed to look after the car... The second uncle thought I was a child and wouldn't let him follow."

No matter how strong her professional knowledge is, she is still a child in the eyes of the elders. What's more, Zhou Ruotong went to the high-speed rail station to pick someone up early today and didn't get a good rest at all, so Zhou Bingshan asked her to stay in the car to rest.

Li Yu glanced at the folded seats in the Guardian:

"It would be great for you to rest in a B&B. Lying in a car is not comfortable or safe."

News about accidents while sleeping in cars abounded. He didn't want anything to happen to his God of Wealth, so he wouldn't be able to exchange cultural relics for money in the future.

Zhou Ruotong took a sip of hot chestnut drink:

"My car has a parking ventilation function, it will be fine..."

Just as he was talking, Wu Song came back.

Li Yu asked:

"Have everything been moved?"

"I moved it here. All kinds of equipment that I have never seen before were put together. It can go up and down freely like an elevator. It's really magical."

He opened the incubator, took out a meal from it and gave it to Zhou Ruotong, then stacked the two boxes together and moved them towards the edge of the cliff. Li Yu hurried over to help:

"Give me a box and we can move it together."

Wu Song didn't dare to disturb the B&B boss's love story, so he quickly refused:

"No need, my little brother has just carried the generator over. It's just some food, it's nothing."

As a member of the village committee, today is to do a good job in service and let these experts and teachers eat and drink well, so as to increase the popularity of Shitou Village.

Although it has only been a month since he received his full household registration, Wu Song already has a deep sense of belonging to Shitouzhai Village.

The people in the village also supported him and supported his work, which made Wang Shengli very happy.

After Wu Song left, Zhou Ruotong sat in the back seat of the guard, opened the small table next to him, and started eating.

Li Yu sat on the seat next to her, chatting casually with her. Occasionally, he poured out some hot chestnut drink with the lid of a thermos cup and handed it to Zhou Ruotong to prevent her from choking.

When the meal was over, Zhou Ruotong drank the remaining hot drink:

"You go back, I'll also go to the other side to have a look. Although I'm just following you today to gain experience, I can't not go to the scene. I have to take a few work photos and see what's in other caves."

"Then please be safe and call me if you need anything."

"Well, drive slower."

After the two said goodbye, Li Yu drove down the mountain. As soon as he arrived at the door of the B&B, he saw Gouzi squatting at the door with a resentful look on his face.

Only then did he remember that rabbit meat was still cooking on the stove.

He originally planned to deliver the lunch box and then come down, but who would have thought that he would forget about it while eating with Zhou Ruotong... Li Yu hurriedly ran to the kitchen and was relieved when he saw that the rabbit meat had been taken off the stove.

It really makes a difference to have a responsible chef.

Li Yu pounded the rabbit meat in the pot with chopsticks and felt it was cooked, so he took it out and dried it later to remove the meat so that the dog could have a good time.

The rabbit didn't add any ingredients, just added some salt, but the grassy smell was still there.

Although it smells a bit strong, it is the most attractive smell to carnivores such as cats and dogs.

After playing with the rabbit, Li Yu served himself a bowl of rice, paired with the remaining dishes in the kitchen, and started having lunch.

"Sir, you are finally back. I just finished jumping rope."

While eating, Diao Chan came in with a skipping rope and sat opposite Li Yu, holding her chin in her hands and watching him eat.

It seems that I have to give you a composition assignment again... Li Yu took a mouthful of rice and said:

"Go to the study room and write a composition of no less than 400 words on the theme of 'Winter'. Make up your own title. Don't go off track."

The little girl has successfully written the first two proposition compositions, so let’s give her a little more difficulty to feel the difficulty of self-proposition compositions.

When he first started to write self-proposed essays, Li Yu thought it was so easy. Finally, he no longer had to write essay topics specified by the teacher.

But when he started writing, he realized that he could struggle with just one essay topic for a long time, let alone the content. The more divergent his thinking, the harder it was to think.

Relatively speaking, the proposition composition is simple, just follow the planned route and come up with ideas.

Just as Li Yu thought, Diao Chan had a bright smile on her face when she heard the topic she had chosen:

"Sir, are you lowering the difficulty level because you're afraid that I won't get a hundred points?"

"You'll know after you write it. Go ahead. I have to feed Brother Dao some rabbit meat after dinner, and then go for a walk around the scenic spot. When I come back, if you haven't finished writing your essay, you can't watch anime at night. Come on, study hard."

The little girl is naturally not afraid:

"It's a deal!"

After saying that, she took the skipping rope and left the restaurant.

After Li Yu finished his meal, he cleared away the tableware, took out the rabbit that was not hot to the touch, removed the meat on it, and pulled out the bones.

The two rabbits together have almost three kilograms of meat, which should be enough for Brother Dao to eat.

He regretted a little. He had known that there was so little rabbit meat, and two chicken breasts should have been put in when cooking. As long as it was contaminated with the smell of rabbit, Brother Dao wouldn't be able to eat it... right?

When he came outside with the meat, Brother Dao was already waiting impatiently.

As soon as the rabbit meat was poured into the dog basin, this guy jumped in and started to show off.

It seems like it likes it very much... Li Yu patted its head and said:

"I have kept my promise, so don't break your promise. Open up the world of that book as soon as possible. Then buy a few more rabbits so that you can enjoy them all at once."

"Woof!"

Brother Dao yelled, feeling a little annoyed by Li Yu's nagging, so he gave him a push with his head, then pulled the dog bowl under the steps, far away, and then continued to eat.

Damn, you actually dislike me... Li Yu didn't interrupt anymore, went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, disposed of the rabbit bones, drove to the scenic spot and walked around, and then turned to the Hanfu Factory for a visit.

In the Hanfu Factory office, Wen Jing was sitting in front of the computer, violently beating a little doll to vent her emotions. Every time she hit the doll, the little doll let out a scream.

Li Yu asked:

"What's going on?"

"Forget it, a customer said that our Hanfu is not good, that the breasts cannot be held up at all, and that it cannot be worn like a model. I patiently explained it to her for a long time, and also said, sisters, don't be discouraged. Although I am flat-chested, I am not inferior at all. Come on, do your best...but this idiot told me he was a man!!!!"

Li Yu suppressed his laughter. Wen Jing usually acted like a little pervert, but she didn't expect to meet a real pervert today.

I hope this won't hurt her young heart.

Hao Zhenzhen, who was not far away, said:

"I have to recruit a few more customer service personnel recently. Now the online store's business volume is much larger, and some competitors even send people to find fault."

Li Yu didn't understand this and asked for advice:

"How did you get it?"

Hao Zhenzhen has rich experience:

"These accounts have been giving good reviews to a Hanfu store, and they have also filmed various marginal buyer shows, and then scolded and found fault with our store. The backlash should not be too obvious."

Real business wars are all so simple and unpretentious... Li Yu thinks that if the empress can come to the real world, she can be a guest service member of the online store for a period of time.

Not to mention maintaining her humanity, even if she has turned into a god, she can still be brought back.

After learning about the operation of Hanfu Factory, Li Yugang was about to leave, and Hao Zhenzhen suddenly asked:

"Manager Wu said that he was exploring the caves in the back mountain recently. Is there any danger?"

"It's just a normal investigation of cultural relics. There is no danger to Erlang. Why did Sister Zhen ask about this? Are you worried that Erlang won't be able to come to work?"

Hao Zhenzhen quickly drank water:

"No, no, no, I'm just asking. Manager Wu is a shareholder of our factory, so I just want to show some concern."

After leaving the Hanfu Factory, Li Yu returned to the B&B.

Brother Dao has eaten all the rabbit meat, and even licked the dog bowl brightly.

After cleaning the dog bowl, Li Yu came to the study room and saw Diao Chan sitting at the desk, looking like she was thinking hard, without any excitement and chatter from before.

"How's it going? Have you finished writing?"

Diao Chan turned her face away and looked up at the electronic clock on the wall in surprise when she saw Li Yu:

"I have actually thought about it for so long?"

think?

Li Yu glanced at the clean manuscript paper and asked doubtfully:

"You haven't started writing yet?"

"No, I thought about several topics that were not suitable. The topic that I thought was suitable did not match the content, and I felt that it would go off topic, and then I thought about it until now..."

Now let’s not talk about self-proposed composition being simple, right?

Li Yu provided her with an idea:

"Don't think about the topic at the beginning, think about the content first. You can even write out the content of the composition first, and then make a topic based on the content you wrote. Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more your mind will become more and more confused."

Diao Chan's eyes widened:

"Can it still be like this? Try it with me."

She lowered her head and started writing the composition. Li Yu turned on the computer and was about to review the content of "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo" when Zhou Ruotong suddenly sent a WeChat message:

"There is another new harvest. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Xi's cronies escaped from Cao Pi's liquidation in another cave, and they also left stone carvings..."

Why is it that the Three Kingdoms are involved? Those caves are not the intersections of various dynasties, right?
