Chapter 18 Pingyang Xiahou Mansion
The two of them nodded hurriedly, looking at Li Chu eagerly, as long as they could have enough to eat, they could do anything," you said. β
"I just took a look around and you guys can develop a tourist attraction here."
There are mountains, water, animals, the scenery is also good, and the key is that the location is excellent.
"Tourist attractions?" What is it? The two were very confused and looked at each other, do you know?
"It doesn't matter, you just have to listen to me."
Li Chu is ready to do a big job.
"First of all, you can build a tea shed and wine shop at the bottom of the mountain for passers-by to rest, and you can also make some money." Let's do it at the bottom of the mountain first, or who knows that there is a resort on the mountain, "You choose a good location next to it to plant some crops, fruits, etc., raise some chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, and then dig a pond to raise fish." β
Li Chu changed the ecological circulation system of modern farms a little and told them briefly.
When their conditions are better, they can build some houses on the mountain, there are hot springs on the mountain, they can build a hot spring resort, get some farmhouses or something, and then make some special dishes to attract customers, such as hot pot, barbecue and so on. The tea shed at the foot of the mountain can be advertised and recommended to passing guests.
Li Chu told them about his plan, but they said that they didn't understand it very well, although they didn't understand it, but they felt so powerful inexplicably.
These were too new to them, they had never heard of them, and it was normal for them not to understand them, so Li Chu had to change them to words that they were more familiar with and explain them in detail.
Although Yun Mo couldn't understand some of the words, it was estimated that it was Ah Li's statement in that world, but the general meaning was still understood, and seeing that she was full of interest, it was up to her. He also gave her a lot of opinions based on the actual situation.
After Wan Qiyu listened, his admiration for Li Chu instantly rose to a height, Mrs. is really a business wizard, while still thinking, should I get one after returning to Limo Villa?
Under the admiring gaze of several people, Li Chu calmly took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and his mouth was dry.
The next day, they began to work lively, according to Li Chu's instructions, to open up wasteland, cultivate land, dig fish ponds, this is their old business, no problem. But the problem was that they had no money and no seeds, so Wu Laosan had to ask Li Chu for help, and finally Li Chu generously provided start-up capital, allowing them to buy crop seeds, fish fry, chickens and ducklings together.
Li Chu also knew that it was better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, so it was up to them to do the rest.
The resort is not so easy to build, after all, it is rumored that there are not only fierce beasts in Black Tiger Mountain, but also bandits and bandits, whether anyone is willing to come up is not necessarily? It depends on their creation. Taking a step back, even if they can't develop, as long as they work harder, grow some vegetables and fruits, and raise some poultry, they can still survive.
Li Chu can only help them get here.
β¦β¦
After staying in Heihu Mountain for a few days, Li Chu told the villagers in detail about the plan, and the tea shed at the bottom of the mountain was also built, and the villagers unanimously decided that Pan Hu and Aunt Pan would be in charge.
After a few days of getting along, Li Chu mingled with the villagers, and everyone admired her very much, especially those women, who almost wanted to see her as a fairy, this fairy-like girl could do anything. Those children also dared to pull her to play with them, and they were also used to Yun Mo's cold face, and they were not afraid of him. Li Chu likes these children, although they live in poverty, they maintain a pure and kind heart.
During this period, Li Chu also taught them how to make hot pot, Donglinguo does not seem to have the habit of eating chili peppers, Li Chu has not been in this world for a short time, and he has never seen a trace of chili peppers on the table. Fortunately, Li Chu found a chili pepper when he was wandering in the mountains, plus Sichuan pepper, spicy and spicy, although the taste of the hot pot base does not reach the modern delicacy, but it is not bad. Li Chu also asked them to transplant the peppers and collect the seeds, which can be planted in the future.
The villagers who ate hot pot for the first time were so spicy that their faces were red, and their throats seemed to be burning, which was much stronger than drinking, so they could only keep pouring water. Although it is unpleasantly spicy, many villagers feel that it is strong enough, and the taste is so simple that they still want to eat it.
Pan Hu is one of them, he can't stop eating it, although he is sweating profusely from the spicy level, he still keeps eating.
Yun Mo doesn't eat spicy food, so Li Chu got him a clear soup base, watching Li Chu eat happily, Yun Mo also took a piece of meat from her bowl, and as soon as he ate it, he coughed, Li Chu quickly picked up the bowl in front of him and fed him a sip of water.
A group of people ate lively, Li Chu also taught them barbecue by the way, when they saw Li Chu put the vegetables on the shelf to roast, the villagers were surprised, vegetables can also be roasted? Can this be eaten?
But when they took a bite of death, their eyes widened, it was so delicious, better than boiled. Miss Li is really a god, how do you know so many delicious methods.
β¦β¦
Although they traveled all the way and stayed in Black Tiger Mountain for a few days, they still arrived in Pingyang City two days before Xiahou Mingyue's wedding.
And Xia Ziheng arrived a few days earlier, after all, it was a major event at home, and he needed to go back early.
Pingyang City is worthy of being the capital, as soon as you enter the city gate, you can feel its prosperity, Li Chu lifted the curtain to watch the crowd of people coming and going on the street, and from time to time she would see patrolling Praetorian Guards, which was obviously more lively than all the towns she had been to before.
The carriage drove on the flat and open road for about half an hour, stopping in front of a low-key house, which was Yun Mo's residence in Pingyang City.
The house is not big, but it is quiet, away from the bustling streets.
After Xia Ziheng received the news of their arrival in Pingyang, he rushed to Xiaobai as soon as possible, and warmly invited them to see Xiaodouding, who was the baby they rescued a few days ago, and by the way to attend the birthday banquet in the house in the evening.
Li Chu happily agreed, but now, she wanted to sleep well.
So Xia Ziheng's buttocks were swept out of the house before he could sit hot, and Xiaobai cleverly hid under the table and successfully stayed.
Seeing the owner who was kicked out of the door, Xiaobai happily wagged his tail and watched him leave.
In the evening, Yun Mo and Li Chu took Xiaobai to Xiahou Mansion, and Xia Ziheng personally went out early to welcome them into the mansion.
As one of the four major families, the Xiahou family has a large mansion area, accounting for almost half of a street, after all, it is such a big family.
After receiving the senior brothers and sisters, Xia Ziheng took them to the courtyard where he lived, and the people he met along the way were very curious about their identities, but the attitude of the fifth young master towards them was not ordinary.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a woman who seemed to be reprimanding her subordinates, saying hello to her senior brothers and sisters, Xia Ziheng frowned and strode forward, he had only been out for a short time, why was someone making noise in his house?
"Why are you here?" Xia Ziheng said unhappily, only to see that in the main hall, a young lady was reprimanding Wan Jining, and Wan Jining was standing indifferently on the side. And that young lady is Xiahou Mingyue's cousin Murong Yu.
Murong Yu's expression changed slightly when she saw that it was Xia Ziheng, but she covered it up well, and instantly had a smile on her face, "Fifth cousin, you're back." This girl is frizzy, you see, she has spilled tea on me. β
As he spoke, he was about to pull Xia Ziheng's sleeve, but Xia Ziheng stepped back a little and dodged.
"That's because you didn't pick it up yourself." Wan Jining said lightly.
"You ......" Murong Yu didn't expect Wan Jining to say it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xia Ziheng already hated Xiahou Mingyue, so he didn't have a good impression of her cousin, not to mention that Wan Jining would never easily offend people for no reason, and it was this young lady who found fault.
"It's the people in my courtyard who didn't entertain well and neglected Miss Murong, and I apologize to you. If Miss Murong is unhappy here, please go back. Also, Ah Ning is not a maid, please pay attention to Miss Murong next time. β
The Murong family is also one of the four major families, Xia Ziheng can be regarded as giving her face, otherwise according to his temperament, people would have driven her out a long time ago.
Li Chu stepped into the door and glanced at it, and he understood a little, "Xia Ziheng, when will it be my people's turn to teach others a lesson?" β
When he was leaving Mo Villa, Yun Mo transferred Wan Jining to Li Chu.
"Owner, Miss Li." Wan Jining saluted the two of them, and then stood beside his brother.
Murong Yu's face changed, he lived in Xiahou Mansion because of his cousin's marriage, and he saw the fifth young master Xiahou Yun in the mansion a few days ago, and he took a fancy to him at a glance.
So I inquired about the young master who was not in the house all the year round, but I didn't expect to find out that he recently came back with a child and a girl, and it was rumored in the house that it was his child, and the girl was the child's mother.
Therefore, Murong Yu took advantage of Xiahou Yun's absence to come over to see what this girl was about. Seeing that she was dressed plainly, not like a young lady, she deliberately sent her to serve tea and water for herself, and by the way, she found an excuse to reprimand and warn her, so that she could see her identity clearly, the young master of the Xiahou family was not worthy of everyone.
Now seeing that Xiahou Yun was obviously protecting her, and the two people who had just entered the door didn't know what their identities were, although Murong Yu was unhappy, he couldn't care about it anymore, so he had to gently bless his body and leave.
"Ning Ning, what's going on?" Li Chu glared at Xia Ziheng, meaning how Wan Jining was bullied in your territory.
Xia Ziheng is very aggrieved, it's none of my business, how dare I bully her.
"Miss Murong said to come and see Xiaodouding, but I stopped her, and she deliberately didn't catch the teacup to embarrass me." Wan Jining said simply, "It's just that she seems to hate me very much." β
Wan Jining was very puzzled, this Miss Murong was obviously here for her, and she shouldn't have any enmity with her, as if she hadn't seen her before.
Li Chu glanced at Xia Ziheng, this Miss Murong is estimated to be an admirer of these two goods, and saw that Xia Ziheng came back with a girl, so she came to find fault.
However, Xia Ziheng is not ordinary to Wan Jining, he felt it in Limo Villa before, but he didn't know if Wan Jining was interested in him.
Thinking of this, Li Chu glanced at Xia Ziheng with a smile.
The little sister smiled so weirdly, what idea was she playing? Xia Ziheng's heart was furious.
Wan Jining took the little bean out, the little bean grew a little bigger, no longer the wrinkled and thin appearance when he was born, now he looked fleshy and soft, and his big dripping eyes looked at them curiously.
It seems that Xia Ziheng has not treated him badly these days, and raised him to be fat for nothing.
Suddenly, Xiao Douding stretched out his hand to Li Chu, as if he wanted her to hug him, Li Chu stretched out his finger and gently poked his face, soft, Xiao Douding stretched out his little hand and grabbed her fingers tightly.
Looking at Xiao Douding's cute appearance, Li Chu laughed out loud.
Yun Mo on the side had a dark face, such a little bit dared to come and rob Ah Li with him. At that moment, he pulled Xiao Budian's hand away, and he and Li Chu's ten fingers were interlocked.
Seeing that Li Chu was snatched away, Xiao Budian flattened his mouth and began to cry, while Yun Mo looked at him provocatively, and Xiao Budian suddenly cried even louder.
Wan Jining hurriedly hugged him in and coaxed him.
The corners of Li Chu's eyes twitched slightly, Yun Mo is jealous? Even children eat vinegar, naΓ―ve!
Yun Mo leaned into her ear and whispered, "If Ali likes children, we can have one." β
ββ¦β¦ Fortunately, I don't like it very much. Li Chu said nonsense seriously, he had been by Yun Mo's side for a long time, and his face was thicker.
"Senior brother, senior sister, what should I do with this little bean ding, now the people in the house think he is my child." Xia Ziheng was very aggrieved, pitiful, he hadn't even held the girl's hand, and his innocence had been ruined.
"You brought it back yourself, solve it yourself." Li Chu had no sympathy.
It wasn't my own volition, you rescued it, so why did you give it to me. Xia Ziheng shouted in his heart, but he was cowardly and didn't dare to say it.
Yun Mo said with a smile, "Send him to Master." "Since you dare to rob Ali with yourself, you have to pay the price, and it just so happens that Master's account has not been settled, so let him annoy him.
Xia Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he could be regarded as getting rid of this big trouble, and soon gloated again, it seemed that the master was going to be unlucky.
Xia Ziheng ranks fifth in the Xiahou family, his father is the head of the Xiahou family's generation, and he also has two uncles, Xiahou Mingyue is his third uncle's favorite daughter.
A few people sat for a while, and Li Chu understood the demographic composition of this big family a little, but there were too many people, and he couldn't remember what kind of concubines, big houses, two bedrooms, and three bedrooms.
Li Chu gave up decisively, so he didn't remember the name until the last one.
It's a pity that Xia Ziheng said with a dry mouth and finally introduced his family, and he didn't have much time at home, so it took a lot of time to remember all his brothers and sisters.
The sky slowly darkened, and the banquet in the mansion began, and the birthday banquet was placed in the garden, which was the banquet for the fiftieth birthday of the head of the Xiahou family.
At this time, the back garden of Xiahou Mansion is brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is endless.
When Xia Ziheng led Yun Mo and Li Chu to appear in the garden, most of the guests had already entered the table, seeing that Yun Mo and Li Chu had excellent looks and extraordinary bearing, but they were fresh faces, and many people inquired about their origins.
Li Chu deliberately chose an inconspicuous position to sit down, she just came to see the excitement, but she didn't want to be targeted by others, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
However, she didn't know that there were already many noble children eyeing her.
Xia Ziheng had no choice but to sit next to them.
Many people here saw the attitude of the fifth young master of the Xiahou family towards them, and couldn't help but be curious about their identities.
Li Chu looked at the people present without a trace, and suddenly noticed that a man in the corner was drinking silently, and he didn't communicate with the people next to him, and his face was expressionless. Li Chu touched Xia Ziheng with his elbow, "Who is that?" β
Xia Ziheng followed her gaze, "It's Xiahou Mingyue's fiancΓ©, Ling Yue." β
It turned out that he was Ling Yue, he looked no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, with sharp edges and corners on his face, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge, he was indeed quite attractive, no wonder Xiahou Mingyue would take a fancy to him.
It's just that he doesn't seem to be very happy, so he should be dissatisfied with this marriage.
Li Chu glanced at it and turned his gaze to others, "Who is that next to Murong Yu?" β
"Oh, it seems to be her brother, what is his name Murong...... What is Murong coming from? Can't remember. Xia Ziheng has been away all the year round, and he has just come back, and he is not very familiar with these people, so it is good for him to remember his family.
ββ¦β¦β
"They look good with me?" Yun Mo saw Li Chu staring at others, and said dissatisfied.
Li Chu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, you look the best." "This guy's vinegar is very strong.
"Then why doesn't Ali look at me."
"Good, good, look at you." Li Chu hurriedly coaxed him, no longer looked at the people at the table, peeled an orange for Yun Mo, and handed it to his mouth, and Yun Mo bit it with satisfaction.
"The head of the Xiahou family has arrived."
Xiahou Yuan, the head of the Xiahou family, and his wife Huo Shi came, and these two were Xia Ziheng's parents.
Seeing that the protagonist appeared, everyone got up to congratulate him on his birthday, and for a while the guests and hosts were politely greeting, and Xia Ziheng also returned to his parents.
Finally, after their greetings, the banquet finally officially began, and the wine and food began to be served.
Li Chu's eyes turned around during the banquet and found that Xiahou Mingyue was not at the banquet, thinking that it might be because the man and woman could not meet before marriage.
During this period, the juniors were all presenting birthday gifts to the head of the Xiahou family, and Xia Ziheng had too many brothers and sisters, and Li Chu didn't have the heart to get to know them.
There were many young girls who glanced at Yun Mo from time to time, Li Chu pursed his lips and glanced at him, the guy who attracted bees and butterflies.
Yun Mo smiled at her gently, and seriously prepared vegetables for her, ignoring the gazes of others.
At this moment, a bold young lady walked towards them and stood in front of Yun Mo, "This son, I don't know what to call it?" β
However, Yun Mo turned a blind eye and ignored it, but Li Chu looked at her with interest, and the young lady continued unwillingly, "The little girl is the daughter of Li Shangshu's family, I don't know if the son can be married." β
It seems that this is looking at Yun Mo.
