Chapter 20: Full of foodies
It is located in a prosperous area in the center of Shangdu, but there is no noisy traffic or endless hustle and bustle, and there are ruins and ruins in front of you. Originally, this was Xu Lida's huge investment to build the largest and most high-end shopping mall in Shangdu, called Hengxing Shopping Plaza, as the name suggests, it means long-term prosperity. But now it's the same building that has collapsed many times, and it can't be built no matter how much it is built.
The four of them looked at the construction site that had been sealed, and their faces were different. Li Mu and An Zhiquan looked indifferent, Yu Jianlin was curious, and Xu Lida was bored.
Standing on the periphery, Li Mu and An Zhiquan naturally couldn't understand the situation here, so he asked Xu Lida to take them into the construction site to have a look.
Xu Lida knew that Li Mu and An Zhiquan were the ones who treated Yu Jianlin, so he didn't despise the two of them when they were so young. In addition, in order to solve the matter here as soon as possible, as soon as he heard that Li Mu and An Zhiquan were going to visit the site, he asked the workers to come to the construction site.
Under the leadership of a similar contractor, Li Mu and An Zhiquan walked into the construction site. Because of the previous collapse of the construction site, large and small cement and concrete are piled up everywhere. It's hard to tell what's wrong with this place, but it will take a while to get it completely cleared.
"Boss Xu, whose hands are the architectural drawings here, can you show them to us?" After discussing with An Zhiquan, Li Mu thought about whether he could see any clues from the architectural drawings.
As soon as Boss Xu heard Li Mu's request, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring the drawings, and when the drawings were brought, Li Mu casually laid them on a sloping platform cement block.
Li Mu spread out the drawings, and everyone gathered their heads together, looking at the drawings curiously.
After looking at it for a while, An Zhiquan said, "What do you see from this drawing? ”
An Zhiquan asked coldly, so that everyone looked at each other, what can they see from this drawing? Although Yu Jianlin and Xu Lida are both rich people, they are not engineering students after all, except for the general shape of the drawings, the others are also black-eyed.
Li Mu knew that An Zhiquan would not ask for no reason, so after hearing An Zhiquan's question, he also looked at the drawings again, but even he didn't see the reason.
Seeing that several people didn't answer, An Zhiquan simply asked again, "What do you think the building built according to this drawing looks like?" ”
Obviously, this question is a little more specific than the previous one, so someone soon gave an answer, and it was Yu Jianlin who gave the answer.
"I think the main body of this building is a bit like a birdcage!" After all, Yu Jianlin is well-informed, although he is not a professional, but he also has a unique vision.
"It's just a cage, though. I'm actually trying to ask, who designed this building? An Zhiquan's previous sentence obviously confirmed Yu Jianlin's guess, and the second sentence asked Xu Lida again.
Xu Lida didn't think about it when he heard An Zhiquan's question before, but now after the latter's reminder, he realized that the problem was on this drawing?
had a guess in his heart, so Xu Lida asked directly. "Yes, this designer was originally designed to imitate the birdcage designed behind the bird's nest in Kyoto. I also asked Mr. Feng Shui to see it at the time, and the gentleman said that the birdcage was so well designed that customers could come in and become a bird to be slaughtered. Speaking of the back, Xu Lida also seemed to find that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong, and hurriedly coughed a few times to cover up the past. Xu Lida's use of feng shui to influence customer consumption made Li Mu and An Zhiquan a little disdainful, but businessmen are inevitably profit-heavy and gullible, and this is not the time to pursue these.
Xu Lida saw that although everyone's faces had changed, he continued without saying anything else: "It's because of these reasons that I thought this design was very good at that time, is the problem here?" Xu Lida is naturally not a stupid person, otherwise why would An Zhiquan deliberately point out the shape of the main building of the building.
Architecturally, the main design of the building is also meritorious. And the feng shui gentleman who showed Xu Lida feng shui also has some skills, but he only knows one and not the other. It's okay to build a birdcage-like building in a normal place, but that's where the problem is, yes, that's it. Because this is not an ordinary place, because An Zhiquan always feels that something exists here, but he doesn't know what it is for the time being.
In other words, if the building is built, it will trap that thing, so in order to prevent the building from being trapped, it is secretly preventing the construction of the building.
An Zhiquan did not immediately tell Xu Lida his guess, but asked him to send someone to clean up the ruins on the construction site first, as for how to solve the problem, then they must first figure out what exactly exists here?
Xu Lida could see from An Zhiquan's expression that the other party must know something, but the other party refused to say that no matter how anxious he was in his heart, he couldn't force it, so the only thing he could do now was to believe them and wait.
Returning to the villa, An Zhiquan told Li Mu his thoughts, which made Li Mu also fall into deep thought, because it was probably not so easy to figure out what existed there, but An Zhiquan suddenly burst out.
"Li Mu, we seem to have forgotten an agreement?"
"What agreement? Oh, that's bad! Originally, Li Mu was still thinking about what An Zhiquan was referring to, but suddenly remembered that he had promised Niu Tou to send him some good wine and food in a month when dealing with corpses, but he was delayed by family affairs.
Li Mu is also a little bottomless about his broken appointment, you must know that the bull head is a violent temper, and if he starts a rush at that time, he may cause some chaos. But at this point, Li Mu can't retreat, if he sees the bull head, he will apologize first, and if he wants to reach out and not hit the smiling person, then the bull head should not be able to fix him for the sake of good food and drink.
An Zhiquan is not as sentimental as Li Mu, drinking tea and watching Li Mu walk around the house, and when Li Mu sat down again, he said again: "This time I went to the Land Temple to ask the Land Lord, what is there in the location of Hengxing Plaza?" ”
The Lord of the Land, as the god in charge of the land of one side, must know everything about the area under his jurisdiction.
Neither of them is a procrastinator, and after deciding, they prepared a lot of good wine and food that night and drove to the Land Temple.
The Land Temple is still in that dilapidated state, seeing that the Land Temple is so shabby, Li Mu has already decided to find someone to repair this place when the time comes.
Li Mu put the wine and food he bought on the ground full, and then waited until night to summon the bull head directly.
Just like last time, before the bull head came out, the land lord took the lead again. The land lord recognized Li Mu and An Zhiquan, so he greeted him warmly. This land lord is usually much lonelier, but now that someone finally came, the land lord's conversation box opened at once. It just so happened that Li Mu and An Zhiquan were going to ask about Hengxing Plaza, but before they could speak, they heard a roar. Without guessing, Li Mu knew that this was the posture of the bull head.
Sure enough, after a burst of green smoke, the figure of Niu Tou appeared in the sight of the two, but then another figure appeared, and this person Li Mu and An Zhi didn't know each other.
The figure that followed the bull's head out was very different from the bull's head. The bull head is unusually rough in both body shape and dress, but he is dressed as a scholar, but his face is particularly long, which makes his scholarly spirit a little cunning.
"Brother Li, you are here, Lao Niu is waiting for you so hard!"
The bull head was not as angry as Li Mu estimated, but was unusually enthusiastic and came up and gave Li Mu a big hug, but this hug made Li Mu a little choked. If it weren't for seeing Niu Tou's expression very sincere, Li Mu would definitely think that the other party was taking the opportunity to punish him, because this hug was so strong that it almost strangled him to death.
"Don't you know, we agreed to meet in a month, and I told my brother below that I would bring him up for a drink in a month. But I didn't expect to wait left and right and wait without you summoning me, which made my brother say that I was bragging. Fortunately, brother, you didn't let the old cow and my pigeon, and as soon as I heard that you were looking for me, I immediately brought my brother up. By the way, by the way, I would like to introduce you to my brother. So saying, the bull head let go and introduced his brother.
After Niu Tou's introduction, Li Mu and An Zhiquan knew that the brother Niu Tou was talking about was Ma Mian, one of the top ten ghosts in the same famous underworld.
The horse face was smiling and silent from beginning to end, and only after the bull head finished introducing him did he come forward to say a few words.
Li Mu was also a little different when he saw that the horse face was so polite, because the contrast between this and the bull's head was too great. But after a while, Li Mu changed his view of the horse, because at this time, this guy was not ashamed to grab food from the cow's head, and where did he still look like a scholar before. From this point, Li Mu knew that this bull head horse noodles was a complete foodie.
Li Mu prepared enough wine and food, so with the addition of the two of them and the two ghosts, plus the land lord, they immediately got together to eat and drink.
The cow's head is eating seafood, and the horse noodles are also feasting, and the meals that Li Mu prepared enough to open a few tables of banquets quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than an hour, all the wine and food were all bottomed out, and most of them went into the belly of the cow head and horse noodles.
"Brother Li, your wine and food are really good, you are worthy of Lao Niu's praise, my old horse is a friend like you." After eating the horse noodles, he burped contentedly, and said yes in his mouth. The bull head on the side was rolling his big white eyes.
After eating, Li Mu took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it leisurely, and the bull-headed horse noodles saw that Li Mu smoked so coolly, and cheekily asked Li Mu to smoke one.
It must be very uncomfortable to smoke for the first time, so Li Mu saw that Niu Tou Ma Mian was going to smoke and reminded him a few words, who knew that those two guys were addicted after taking a sip. For a while, Li Mu saw this scene and simply gave all the remaining packs of cigarettes in the car to Niu Tou Ma Mian, which made them say that Li Mu was enough buddy.
Smoking a cigarette, everyone chatted casually, and Li Mu took the opportunity to tell the matter of Hengxing Plaza so that the land master could help, but he didn't expect Li Mu to say something as soon as he finished speaking.
