Chapter 244: Before the Opening

As Shang Yin said, when Li Mang proposed that he needed manpower, the Yanhuang Compound gave him support, and many people enthusiastically signed up to come to Ghost Lake.

They can choose to join the national security, or they can be stationed in various places in Yanhuang, and they can also live well, at least they don't have to be dictated by Li Mang. But understand that worldly aura is lacking, and once born, it is difficult for them to go further.

Coming to the Ghost Lake is different, although they will be subservient to Li Mang, but at least there is a strong supply of spiritual energy in this work, which is what they all eagerly want. Cultivation can make people addicted, and cultivators will pursue higher realms even if they die, even if they know that their qualifications are limited, but they still remain unswerving until death.

Li Mang finally recruited thirty cultivators, who were responsible for security, and there were more than fifty ordinary staff, plus more than ten people provided by the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and the staff of the Ghost Lake Courtyard had a preliminary cone.

"However, this salary is a huge expense!" connected all this, but Li Mang scratched his ears and cheeks. The monthly salary of ordinary employees is 350,000 yuan, and the cultivator defense team is even more powerful, with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan and a maximum of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.

"Seventy ordinary employees and thirty cultivators, and the monthly salary expenditure alone is tens of millions!" The result of the calculation made him very entangled, although the prospect of the ghost lake courtyard is good, but what the passenger flow and profitability are, this is still an unknown after all.

"It is estimated that I have to earn 30 million a month to be able to do this, the rent can be increased, the price can be higher, and various fees such as service fees, security premiums, and health fees can be added, hehe." Li Mang smiled and laughed, a big profiteer.

At this moment, Li Mang has come to the edge of the ghost lake, and there are more than a dozen large and small courtyards around the shore, one of which is the main house sitting east to west, which occupies feng shui. Although the exterior design is no different from the other. But the area is also larger, if it weren't for the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce behind to steal the limelight, this courtyard is definitely the most of the ghost lake courtyards.

This is what Li Mang kept for himself. In fact, he didn't plan to sell the hundreds of houses in the first and second circles at all, in addition to using them for himself and his relatives and friends, he also wanted to use them to win people's hearts. It's like the 'Immortal Emperor', the Snow God, the Pen Immortal, and the Thunder Emperor, these people want it, and he can't refuse it at all. Don't look at his smooth development, his cultivation has grown by leaps and bounds. But in front of the 'Immortal Emperor', he is nothing, what he lacks is time to grow.

Besides, with these special residents, some people with a heart don't dare to fight the idea of the ghost lake anymore, and Li Mang can also use their might. Why not?

The water surface of the ghost lake is misty, like a fairyland. Standing in the courtyard you can look down on all this beauty. It's really relaxing.

"It seems to be good and bad." Li Mang muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up.

Subsequently, he caught some strange fish from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, numbering hundreds, and threw them into the ghost lake to be released.

Don't look at just a few hundred strange fish, there are them. The ghost lake suddenly added a bit of fairy energy, and the scenery in front of him was also a little smart.

These strange fish are just ordinary fish in the water of the swaggering mountain muntjac, although they look a little strange, but in addition to being delicious and ornamental. There is no other special effect.

As for whether it will make people suspicious of anything, Li Mang has no worries at all; The ghost lake has a spiritual eye, and the news that Li Mang caught the tiger Jiao here has long been spread in the cultivation world, and now there are some prehistoric strange fish, which is really not surprising. The important thing is that he has the big backstage of the Yanhuang Compound, and there are not a few people who peep into the spiritual eye, but no one dares to come to the door to provoke.

Assuming that he has nothing to do with the Yanhuang Compound, even if the spiritual eye is discovered by him, I am afraid that he will not have any share, and it can only be said that it is a good shade under the big tree.

"What should Peach Country Villa use to attract people?" Li Mang then pondered.

Lin Wei's suggestion had already cleared his mind, as long as he took out a strange species in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but this had to be exquisite.

First of all, it needs to be new, strange, and unique, capable of causing a sensation in the world.

Secondly, Li Mang had to take into account its value, which could arouse the curiosity of the secular world, but it could not attract the prying eyes of the cultivation world, otherwise it might cause endless trouble.

"Strange fish of different shapes, precious and beautiful natural jade, strange flowers and trees, strange snakes and ...... in the mountains"

With a conclusion, Li Mang ran back to the villa, called Xiao Yangzhou and directly ordered: "Yangzhou, you customize a few large fish tanks, ask for the hardest tempered glass, make it more luxurious, and don't be afraid of spending money." It is placed on the edge of the artificial lake and made into an independent scenic spot, which is called 'Strange Fish House'"

"Then I will find a suitable place to build a garden, and I will transplant some strange flowers and trees, which will be called the 'Treasure Garden'."

"Make another 'snake garden', which is used to keep all kinds of snakes in captivity, remember to isolate it with tempered glass, there are highly venomous snakes in it, make sure the guests like it."

"After the last order, I will order a batch of safety counters for jewelry exhibitions to display jade, no...... Let's just set up an indoor 'jewel palace' and make it taller. ”

Also, remember to keep these four attractions far away, and when guests visit all four attractions, they will feel tired and satisfied. If it's too close, it's disappointing to read it in three or two clicks. Li Mang has not forgotten this little detail.

Xiao Yangzhou recorded everything Li Mang said in his notebook, and after asking for details, he started to do it without saying much.

The Strange Fish Pavilion, the Treasure Garden, the Snake Garden and the Gem Exhibit are all fresh and precious things on display, full of gimmicks and enough to attract attention. Coupled with the aura overflowing from the spiritual eyes, Taoxiang Villa is full of confidence.

The first to be prepared was the Treasure Garden, and when Li Mang transplanted some strange, beautiful and never-before-seen plants into the garden, it immediately caused a sensation in the villa.

"What kind of flower is this, there are flowers of five colors growing on a tree, and it's so beautiful!"

"The boss said it was a five-color flower, tens of millions of trees!"

"Ah...... Millions! ”

"What kind of tree is this, the branches are exquisite, and they look like green jade ......"

The wild grasses in the mountains and seas in the world of the world, after Li Mang's packaging and publicity, turned into priceless treasures, and he also gave them all kinds of fancy names. The Treasure Garden has achieved a shocking effect.

But then again, Li Mang is by no means all about creating rumors, the grass of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is originally a treasure in the real world, and it may not be worth tens of millions of dollars.

The snake garden followed suit, and when Li Mang released three or two tails and five or six heads of various snakes, several little girls turned pale in fright, and they didn't dare to approach after they were busy, and the thick tempered glass didn't seem to give them a sense of security.

Not to mention them, even Ge Xuelin and several big men were scared enough. Especially when they saw Li Mang grabbing these strange snakes out of the sack with his bare hands, his face was hard as steel, and his scalp was even more numb.

Li ...... Mang, where did you get all this stuff? Lin Wei was also really scared. Snakes are a scary thing for girls, let alone these strange-looking species. But beyond the fright. But it also feels interesting.

"Caught on the mountain." Li Mang replied casually.

Lin Wei glanced at him and didn't speak again.

If the snake garden brings everyone horror and horror. Then the strange fish restaurant is really favored by women. Some have three legs, some only have one eye, and they are full of cuteness, which makes the female staff of the villa scream.

Strange Stone Palace, the gimmick is not only a strange novelty, but also a more prominent feature is precious. Value can scare people into stunning. Several kilograms of rough gold, crystal clear jade, and natural and peculiar shapes, each piece is priceless. There are dozens of furnishings in the Strange Stone Palace, which are roughly estimated to be worth billions.

"Ahem...... Boss, why didn't you say earlier that you were going to put such a valuable thing on display, our security level is far from enough! Xiao Yangzhou was almost ready to cry.

Although this is called the Strange Stone Palace, it is actually renovated from an ordinary house, and the first few million things may be fine to put in, but the billions worth of things are placed here, which will inevitably make professional thieves worry about it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to guard.

Just like this, Xiao Yangzhou may not be able to sleep at night.

"It's okay, I'll send two super bodyguards from inside to guard the villa in turn, don't worry about safety." Li Mang waved his hand indifferently, it seemed that there were not billions of treasures in it, but dozens of stones.

"Can two people really hold it?" Xiao Yangzhou will be suspicious and not very confident.

"Really." Li Mang replied with certainty, if the two cultivators couldn't keep this thing, it would be too inferior. After all, this is a bulky gold and jade, not a large brick and stone worth billions, these things are inconvenient to carry, the thieves in the secular world do not need to be afraid, and cultivators will not come to steal at risk.

"Don't talk about this, several special attractions have been done, so let's discuss the food, if you want to make Taoxiang Villa a hit, the villa must launch food with its own characteristics." Li Mang said.

Speaking of this, Li Mang took a lot of effort.

Ordinary fruits and vegetables, he let the white apes plant a lot, but this thing is inconvenient to carry, too many times it is easy to expose secrets, Li Mang doesn't want to do everything himself. So, this has been abandoned by him.

After thinking about it again, Li Mang decided to start with two aspects, one is to supply wine, and the other is plant accessories.

When it comes to cooking, the excipients are undoubtedly crucial, and if the level of the excipients is raised, the taste of the dishes will naturally be improved. It's a pity that there are not many plants that can be used as auxiliary materials in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it will take some time to harvest now.

"These are the accessories I have people make, you take them and ask the chef to see what dishes can be used, and then try a few dishes, and serve them to try the taste to see if you can make a special signature dish." Li Mang handed Xiao Yangzhou a sack, which he had asked Jim and Miao Siping to make in the past few days.

Speaking of these two people, they have been trapped for so long, they have already accepted their fate, and the slaves are so hard-working, Li Mang will work hard to do whatever he orders.

As far as Li Mang is concerned, having two slaves seems to be good, and although the white ape of Tangting Mountain can help him farm, there are many things that he can't do well. Li Mang was even thinking about getting a few more to help with chores in the future.

"Don't worry about Yangzhou, you guys come and taste my soju." Li Mang picked up a bucket from the ground again, which contained a few catties of rice wine.

A few months ago, he personally planted two acres of glutinous rice on the edge of the Liji water to grow rice, some time ago has been harvested, two days ago Li Mang went back to the city to get a set of wine-making equipment, and Jim and they worked together for two days, and finally brewed dozens of catties.

"Rice wine?" Lin Wei beside him was the first to frown, she didn't even know how to drink red wine, let alone white wine!

"Python, don't you want to, just use this as the signboard of the villa?" Ge Xuelin is more direct and directly disdainful. Although Taoxiang Villa is not as good as the ghost lake courtyard, it is not a roadside food stall, and how can the rice wine in the market be able to control the field.

"Don't drink it later." Li Mang shot back.

"Since the python is so confident, it must be very confident, let's give it a try." Xu Gaoyang had a good brain, and personally filled some in a tie pot and poured half a cup for a few people.

"Is it that good?" Ge Xuelin didn't believe in this evil, and took the lead in raising a glass to drink, but the cup stopped when it was put to his mouth, his nose kept sniffing, and he was stunned for a while.

The same is true for Xu Gaoyang.

Seeing them like this, Lin Wei, who didn't want to try it, suddenly became interested, carefully put it in front of her nose and sniffed it gently, and said in surprise at the moment: "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Hehe, it's not just fragrant, it's delicious." Li Mang raised his glass and drank it, although it was not the first time he drank it, he was still shocked by this mellowness.

Although glutinous rice is an ordinary variety, it is planted in the classic of mountains and seas, and the soil quality is superior, and it is also dyed with a strong aura, and the grade is naturally very high. In addition, the water used for sake brewing is the spring water from which the muntjac water is sourced, and it is so sweet.

How can the wine made in this way taste bad?

It's a pity that whether it is Li Mang or Jim, or which old lady Miao, they don't know anything about winemaking, and many steps are not well controlled, which also leads to poor quality of the wine, which looks a little muddy, no wonder Ge Xuelin looked disdainful just now.

Ge Xuelin and the others were also conquered by this wine, and before the meal was served, several of them kept drinking, and soon became drunk. Even Lin Wei, who rarely drinks alcohol, couldn't help but drink a few glasses at this time, and her whole face was flushed.

"You woman, I'll send you back first!" Li Mang was really not angry, but seeing that she couldn't bear it anymore, he had to help her away.

When Li Mang returned to the restaurant, all the dishes had been served, but Ge Xuelin and Xu Gaoyang were drunk on the table, only Xiao Yangzhou and his family were still drinking and eating without heart and lungs. It's delicious! ”

"It's called Taoxiang No. 1." Li Mang casually came up with a name, and tasted a few dishes with chopsticks, the taste was really much better than the original, and he was immediately very satisfied, and said with a wave of his hand: "Three days later, Taoxiang Villa and Ghost Lake Courtyard will open at the same time to welcome guests!" ”
