Chapter 182 Master Li’s Authentic Work? 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Oh, the queen must know!
Hearing Mu Guiying's oath, Diao Chan covered her mouth in joy, knowing that this girl would definitely tell the truth. However, Mr. Stinky gave a test paper as a gift during the Chinese New Year, and it was really up to the empress to deal with it.
Li Yu looked at the complicated and exquisite patterns on the back of the bronze mirror and felt that it should be worth a lot of money.
It's a pity that this is a gift personally ordered by the empress and prepared by the village leader Mu. It cannot be sold, otherwise the flying knife will definitely blow your head off on the spot.
After Mu Guiying gave the gift, she dipped the roast goose in the sour plum sauce and ate it while saying:
"It's your turn, Fairy Little Chan, Go! Go! Go!"
Diao Chan smiled and took out her carefully prepared New Year gift:
Qin Qiong's is a dark fur-collared cloak that can be used as both a cloak and a quilt. It seems to be custom-made and fits the height and build of Qin's second brother.
Lu Bu's was a series of tools suitable for showing off, such as wireless Bluetooth headsets, sunglasses, and portable Bluetooth speakers, which made Lu Wenhou express surprise.
The gift given to Wu Song was a bunch of figurines and wood carvings, all of which were related to Wu Song's fight against tigers. Erlang felt a little embarrassed:
"I just killed a tiger with my bare hands. There is no need to be so high-profile."
But after all, he accepted it with satisfaction, and even secretly studied the packaging.
After Brother Erlang, it’s time for Mr. Stinky.
Diao Chan held a rolled-up painting and handed it over:
"I practice secretly. If you don't draw well, please punish me sir."
Silly girl, even if you draw a cockroach, I won't be willing to punish you... Li Yu took the painting and slowly opened it, only to find that he was painted inside.
The painting style is very classical, but the content is somewhat modern.
A handsome young man in a black hooded sweatshirt was driving a blue electric tricycle, carrying a strong golden retriever, and was driving on the mountain road.
Li Yu doesn't think it's a big deal if modern sketches or oil paintings are used like this, but this kind of content in classical Chinese paintings is very similar to the spoof Chinese paintings on the Internet such as Xiao He riding a bicycle chasing Han Xin or Lin Daiyu wearing black stockings.
"Not bad, the painting is very vivid, I like it very much."
Seeing Diao Chan looking at him expectantly, Li Yu quickly praised her, fearing that the girl was overthinking it.
Mu Guiying came over to take a look and immediately laughed:
"Sir, have you really driven like this? I feel so depressed."
Li Yu recalled the time when the B&B first started. Sun Facai's whereabouts were unknown, the scenic spot was unfinished, and there was no guest in the B&B except Brother Dao. He couldn't help but sigh:
"Before we met you guys, Brother Dao and I could barely eat plain water noodles. The only means of transportation was an electric tricycle. We often took Brother Dao out for a walk."
Mu Guiying blinked and asked:
"Then didn't we save you?"
Wu Song felt that this was not quite appropriate:
"It should be about rescuing each other. If it weren't for Brother Li, we would all proceed according to the normal development of the story. I would become a bandit, second brother Qin would lose his friend, brother Fengxian would bear the infamy of patricide, and sister Guiying would also lose Muke. The village and all the relatives..."
He picked up the wine glass, held it in both hands and toasted Li Yu:
"Brother Li, thank you for your kindness, it's all in the wine!"
After saying that, Wu Song drank it all in one gulp.
Although Qin Qiong and Lu Bu did not speak, they each raised their glasses and paid tribute to Li Yu.
Mu Guiying was a little embarrassed and picked up the fresh orange juice on the table:
"I'm sorry, sir, I said the wrong thing. How about I blow a bottle alone?"
Li Yu drank a glass of white wine with a few people and carefully put away the painting:
"Drinking less drinks is not good for your health... Xiaochan, please continue sending out gifts."
Diao Chan took out a shopping card from her pocket and handed it to Mu Guiying:
"Sister Guiying, there are 20,000 yuan in this card. Next time you go to the mall, you can buy the colorful clothes you like."
"Really? You are so good, Fairy Little Cicada. No wonder my master praises you every day and asks me to learn from you... Then I will buy two sets for my master and give you some artifacts to use!"
Li Yu: "..."
How much evil did the empress do to accept such a troublesome disciple like you?
Finally, it was a gift for Xiao Yuefei. Just when Li Yu thought it was school supplies, Diao Chan unexpectedly opened her phone and showed a mountain bike:
"Junior brother Yue Fei, this is called a bicycle. You can ride it to exercise... I placed the order too late. It is still on the way. It will take a few days to receive it. You have to wait a little longer."
When Yue Fei heard this, he quickly handed over his hands and thanked:
"Thank you, Sister Xiaochan!"
After the gifts were delivered, Li Yu briefly calculated the amount of money spent and felt that Diao Chan's little treasury was at its bottom. Fortunately, she also collected a lot of New Year's money. When the gold ingots are sold, the little girl will be upgraded to a little rich woman again.
Next it’s Yue Fei’s turn.
His gift was simple. Each person received a copy of the handwritten military book. In addition, he also gave Li Yu a separate calligraphy work:
"Brother Yan Qing went to Tokyo on business and accidentally obtained a copy of "Niannujiao" written by Master Li. Hearing that the New Year in the real world was approaching, he asked his students to give it to his husband."
The last time he went back, Yue Fei talked about bringing Li Shishi to the real world. Lu Junyi immediately allocated a thousand taels of silver and asked Yan Qing to rush to Tokyo at night to investigate.
Yan Qing stayed in Tokyo for several days. Although he could not take away Li Shishi himself, it was not without gain. At least he got Li Shishi's authentic work.
When Yue Fei came to modern society, the clever Yan Qing would not miss this opportunity to build relationships and specifically asked Yue Fei to hand over this work to Li Yu.
"Song lyrics written by Master Li himself?"
Diao Chan was eating red dates from the honey yam. When she heard this, her little ears stood up alertly.
She quietly observed several people from the Song Dynasty and found that Mu Guiying secretly winked at Yue Fei, and Yue Fei's junior brother actually responded. The little girl immediately felt like she was being stabbed in the back.
Wow, you guys actually want to sneak a beautiful girl to a B&B.
No wonder Sister Guiying has been talking about beauties recently. Is this her plan to let the beauties of the Song Dynasty overpower our Han Dynasty?
No, we can't let them succeed. I want to unite with Sister Zhou to defend against foreign enemies!
The little girl was full of drama in her heart, but when she thought that she was just Li Yu's cousin and that Zhou Ruotong was treating her well, she was immediately discouraged.
While he was thinking wildly, Zhou Ruotong sent a WeChat message:
"Xiaochan, I wish you a happy New Year. I will give you some lucky money."
Then there was the WeChat transfer of 50,000 yuan, and Diao Chan quickly replied:
"Thank you, Sister Zhou."
After replying the message, the little girl sighed softly.
If Sister Zhou knew that I was not my husband’s cousin in the future, would she hang me up and beat me to death?
When she was melancholy, Li Yu was admiring Li Shishi's calligraphy works.
The calligraphy is in regular script, very beautiful, and the lyrics are touching. The lines are filled with the melancholy of finding a close friend and finding a confidant, which makes people feel pity unconsciously...
She is worthy of being one of the four famous prostitutes. Just writing a word can make people want to reward them. A live broadcast is about to begin. In order to compete for the top brother on the Internet, those wealthy brothers on the Internet must not be so stupid?
No wonder he was able to move between emperors and courtiers with ease, his level was so high.
Li Yu sighed with emotion and put away the words.
Mu Guiying took the opportunity to encourage:
"I think there is a sense of sadness in this word. Can you help her, sir?"
help?
How to help?
Master Li is surrounded by the emperor, a group of ministers, and various financial backers. How can I help? Help her flirt with the emperor and make secret glances with the courtiers?
Li Yu said to Yue Fei:
"Let Yan Qing try to find those talents and don't waste time on this kind of thing. Before the big gathering, we have to recruit useful talents."
If you don't talk about doing business in a great time, why should you look for Mr. Li?
When the Jin soldiers go south, do you expect her to retreat them?
Yue Fei quickly said:
"The students will tell Senior Brother Lu and Brother Yan Qing when they get back."
My husband's expression changed in a rare way. Does this mean he doesn't like beautiful women? What to do... Mu Guiying looked confused, as if she was flattering someone on the horse's leg.
However, she remembered the management books she had read. When corrupt officials accepted bribes, they would say yes or no, but they would get a lot of money.
Could it be that Sir is pretending to be reserved?
Don't tell me, it's really possible. Master said he didn't like eating candied haws last time, but he secretly swallowed it later. These immortals in ancient times were very face-conscious.
Thinking of this, Mu Guiying became more energetic and looked like she had seen through Li Yu.
Even if you say no, your heart must be very urgent.
Humph, I will tell Xiao Feifei later that she must increase her efforts and try to bring Master Li here as soon as possible... Who else is there among the four famous prostitutes? Winning them all over to my husband will save him the trouble of picking and choosing!
Li Yu put away the painting and everyone continued to eat.
Qin Qiong ate roast suckling pig for the first time and thought the way of eating it dipped in sugar was very unique. He ate two pieces in a row and said with emotion:
"In ancient times, if ordinary people dared to eat like this, they would probably make their elders angry to death."
Li Yu gave Diao Chan a piece of pig skin:
"White sugar is not only edible, it is also a strategic material and can be used to make various types of Molotov cocktails. During World War II, many tanks were destroyed in this way."
He briefly explained the working principle of the Molotov cocktail, which made Yue Fei's eyes light up:
"Sir, I said before that the Iron Float is difficult to deal with. If you can throw it over with a Molotov cocktail, you will definitely be able to burn the enemy alive... Sir, is it troublesome to make the Molotov cocktail?"
This is nothing troublesome. It's just a matter of collecting some beer bottles, filling them with some flammable liquid and sugar, using cloth as a lead, lighting them and smashing them out.
When playing "Battlefield" and "Call of Duty", Li Yu liked to use Molotov cocktails and even won related titles, but he had never tried it in reality.
Wu Song said:
"Glass bottles are easy to find. You can buy a lot of them at any scrapyard, but flammable liquids, except alcohol and gasoline, are not easy to buy in large quantities, right?"
You can find a way to temporarily buy three to five hundred liters, but if you buy more, it will be a bit difficult.
Li Yugang wanted to say that Molotov cocktails might not be the best choice, but he suddenly thought of the documentary he watched a few days ago about Africans making gasoline in their own way.
Put crude oil into large iron barrels, light a fire underneath, and use distillation to refine the gasoline. This homespun method of making oil has even put local gas stations out of business.
If oil had been found in ancient times and the equipment for distilling alcohol had been used to make gasoline, the problem of raw materials for Molotov cocktails should have been solved.
As for oil, it was easy to find it in ancient times, because the word "oil" was named after Shen Kuo, the first scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He also calculated the use of oil in detail.
According to the records in "Mengxi Bi Tan", it is not difficult to find oil. Once a large amount of crude oil is available, gasoline can appear in the world of the book in advance.
After hearing what Li Yu said, the female bandit Mu Guiying immediately said:
"I will ask people to search for oil when I get back. If I find it, I will try to make it with distilled liquor equipment... Let's make an agreement first. If it fails, sir, we will have to buy us new distilled liquor equipment."
Humph, this kind of test needs to be reimbursed by your husband.
Li Yu picked up a piece of blue crab, peeled off the crab claws and put it in Diao Chan's bowl, and then said:
"If you can find oil, I will buy you industrial distillation equipment, and maybe you can stage a scene of burning the Tianmen Array."
No matter how powerful the One Hundred and Eight Formations are, all living beings will become equal in front of gasoline.
Diao Chan ate the crab claws that were almost as big as her own hands and found them very delicious. No wonder the crabs in the aquatic products section of the supermarket are so expensive, they are just delicious.
Li Yu peeled off some more crab meat, and Mu Guiying couldn't help but handed her plate over:
"There's no room for Fairy Little Chan's plate, so why not put it here with me and I'll keep it for her."
Lu Bu took a bite of the cumin mutton chop and asked vaguely:
"If you use fire directly, will it harm Tianhe?"
Li Yu peeled off a crab claw for Mu Guiying equally:
"The Tianmen Formation was set up by Lu Dongbin out of anger and against the will of Heaven. Even if it hurts Tianhe, it will be recorded on his head."
Heaven only arranged Mu Guiying's fate, but the empress was so angry that she retraced time a thousand times. If the cause and effect of burning the Tianmen Array were recorded on the head of the stupid disciple, the empress could skin Lu Dongbin and have cramps.
Li Yu gave an extra-large blue crab to Diao Chan and Mu Guiying equally, wiped his hands, and ate the roast goose.
Yue Fei picked up half a blue crab and tasted it:
"Every summer and autumn, there are a lot of crabs in the river near Qilin Village. Can they be eaten?"
Li Yugang wanted to say yes, but was worried that they would not eat properly:
"You can catch some and bring them over then, and I'll try them first."
The flow of time in the book world is different. It is New Year's Eve in the real world, but it is already the end of April in Muke Village, and it is mid-May in the Water Margin Yue World. The crab-eating season will come soon.
Maybe in March here, you can eat the big river crabs that are only available at the end of September.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei said:
"It seems that there are crabs in the river now. The students go back and take Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and other brothers to the river to have a look. If there are crabs, let the teacher catch some."
Qin Qiong also saw crabs and asked curiously:
"Can we also eat small crabs in the river?"
Li Yu nodded:
"Yes, you can remove the top and internal organs, wrap it in batter and fry it. It's crispy and delicious, and it's perfect for drinking."
When Mu Guiying heard this, she planned to play in the river near Muke Village.
If it can really be eaten, wouldn't it be one more food to fill the stomach?
Everyone was eating and drinking and chatting casually.
By about eight o'clock in the evening, everyone was full.
At this time, the cannons were rumbling outside, and fireworks of various colors were blooming in the distant sky. Mu Guiying couldn't even think about grabbing the leftovers with Lu Bu:
"Sir, let's get started. We can't let them take away our grace."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"Don't worry, we can't take it away... Let's move all the fireworks we bought to the viewing platform, and we'll set them off there."
Fireworks and firecrackers will scatter a lot of smoke and gunpowder powder. If you are too close to the B&B, it will float to the room and windowsill, so you should try to stay as far away as possible so that everyone can see clearly.
When Mu Guiying was in a hurry to move out, Li Yu took out his mobile phone and was about to call his parents when he saw a message from Zhou Ruotong:
"Happy New Year, someone!"
He didn’t even call his name, right? It’s too rude for a Beijing girl... Li Yu replied with a Happy New Year emoji, and also symbolically sent a 199.99 New Year red envelope:
"I wish you peace and joy in the new year, which will become more and more beautiful."
In the courtyard of Zhou's family in Beijing, Zhou Ruotong, who was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, saw this news and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth into a smile:
"Bad guy, he actually learned how to seduce me with red envelopes."
She received the red envelope and was worrying about what New Year gift to give to her stinky cat, when Zhou Ruoshan, the eldest son of the Zhou family, came over:
"Tongtong, who are you talking to? You are so happy. Are you talking about friends?"
Zhou Ruoshan is the son of his uncle Zhou Bingshan. He is in his thirties and works in a history research laboratory with the prefix "国". He likes to ride motorcycles and is a die-hard member of the Beijing Motorcycle Club.
Seeing his elder brother coming over, Zhou Ruotong thought that Li Yu also liked motorcycles, so he put away his phone and asked:
"Boss, what kind of motorcycle is usually better for boys?"
When Zhou Ruoshan heard this talk, he immediately became interested:
"Modern motorcycles are generally divided into four categories, road bikes, station wagons, cruisers, and off-road bikes... You must first determine the type before you can choose the style."
Zhou Ruotong originally wanted to choose cross-country driving, but was worried that something might happen to Li Yu while driving, so he finally said:
"Just a road car. Recommend one to me, no more than..."
Thinking that Li Yu's red envelope was 199.99, she doubled it a thousand times:
"No more than 200,000, as long as it can be driven and played."
The stinky guy was willing to spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a car, but he still cherishes it so much. If he was given a motorcycle that was too expensive, he would probably be locked in the house and reluctant to ride it.
Zhou Ruoshan said:
"There are a lot of choices at this price range, including Kawasaki, Honda, BMW, Harley, Ducati... Why don't you come with me to choose in the past two days? There are a batch of new cars coming to the club. Choose whichever one you like. "
"Okay, thank you, boss."
In the courtyard of the B&B, Li Yu finished the video call with his parents and waved to the observation deck to signal the start.
Mu Guiying immediately took out a lighter, lit a half-meter-high large box on fire, and then trotted back, fearing that she would miss the most exciting moment.
Soon, clusters of fireworks with sharp whistles soared into the dark night sky and exploded suddenly. The entire sky was instantly illuminated, becoming colorful and dazzling.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Mu Guiying was so excited that she wanted to move a few boxes of fireworks to Muke Village to let the children in the village see the world.
Seeing this scene, Diao Chan clasped her hands on her chest and made a wish devoutly.
I hope Sister Zhou won’t hate me, I hope my husband won’t abandon me, I hope the B&B will always be my home...
After making her wish, she took out her mobile phone, took a short video of fireworks blooming in the sky, and sent it to Moments:
"Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, and all your wishes will come true in another year. I wish everyone a happy New Year!"
