Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 196. 196. On the track of tourism projects (seeking a monthly ticket)
Seeing Li Xiao casually picking up a lot of abalones, the audience in the live broadcast immediately salivated.

"Hiss, envy, I'm sore."

"You can pick up so many abalones casually, and they are still this big?"

"I have decided that I will go to Yangjiang just because of these abalones."

"Let's go, let's grab the tools and go catch abalone together."

"In order to be able to go snorkeling, I decided to practice swimming after get off work."

"The scenery is so beautiful, it's not much worse than the snorkeling videos I saw in foreign countries."

"The environment of this beach is quite good if you can camp on it."

Seeing this viewer's message, Li Xiao frowned.

At this time, he had finished snorkeling and returned to the third uncle's fishing boat. After all, staying underwater for a long time would be harmful to the body.

Some divers have to retire when they reach a certain age, because the body can no longer support it, so the time of each snorkeling must be strictly controlled. Although the scenery is beautiful, you can't be greedy.

Although the islands of Dahan Kingdom will not be sold to any individual or organization, not selling does not mean not renting. If snorkeling here can really become popular, it would be a good deal for Sanjiu to find a relationship and lease it for 99 years. business.

After all, there is still not much domestic market for this kind of uninhabited island, and the cost of developing it is quite high.

Moreover, the policy is changing all the time. There have been some real estate companies who rented out the property and improved it, but found violations after the building was completed, so they had to demolish it all, and lost everything.

However, if you rent it but don’t develop it, just as a tourist project, it seems to be good. Since everyone likes to experience the natural feeling, then come here for camping and put a few truck containers as temporary rooms, it seems to be the same good choice.

After more than an hour of snorkeling, Li Xiao returned to his third uncle's house.

In the remaining days, Li Xiao went back and forth between Hailing Island and Yangjiang for sea fishing, snorkeling and trawling.

There are at least 15 viewers of the live broadcast every day, and the effect of the live broadcast is also very good. A group of migrant workers living in the steel forest encouraged the people around them to set off together, and some literary youths even prepared their resignation letters. , Ready to go out and have a look.

The third uncle did sell his crab trap and bought two trawl nets as he promised.

The third uncle also bought two sets of commercial houses for his cousin and cousin in the same community according to what he said that day, both of which were small units of 80 square meters.

The payment for the cherry blossom long-legged crabs and the cost of selling the crab traps are just enough for the down payment of two houses.

When the viewers in the live broadcast room saw the low housing prices in Yangjiang, they seemed to have discovered a new continent, and even declared that they would form a group to go to Yangjiang to buy a house of their own.

Not only can you become a homeowner from now on, but you can also come here for vacation during holidays.

Originally, Li Xiao didn't have such a big heart in buying a house, but after watching it with the third uncle's family for two days, he became very excited.

In the end, they stayed with the second and third uncles for a total of 10 days. The reason why they stayed for so long was mainly because Li Xiao wanted to receive the first batch of tourists well.

What he didn't expect was that among the first batch of 12 tourists, there were two of them he had seen before.

One of them is the Beijing local tyrant brother who took a plane from Beijing to taste his own soup dumpling.

There is also a lovely young lady who was seen at the face-to-face event in Hangzhou.

Seeing how the two of them took care of his live broadcast, Li Xiao waved his hand and personally bought a lot of seafood and made a seafood feast.

After seeing off the first batch of guests, Li Xiao bid farewell to her second and third uncles before the second batch of guests arrived.

Now the two cousins ​​share a live account. After so many days of drainage, this live account has more than 3 fans.

Now the number of orders received every day is not small, and the schedule has even been scheduled after the New Year, and the satisfaction of the first batch of tourists is also very high.

The simple homestay and warm service are things that are difficult for them to experience in the city. For the time being, it seems that there should not be too many problems here, and Li Xiao will retire with success.

Leaving his own 30 cash as a share as spare funds to buy some big-ticket items, such as buying another second-hand fishing boat, or as a deposit for the rental of Crescent Island, Li Xiaocao sat in the van carrying goods back home.

Holding the luggage and waving goodbye, Uncle Qiang, the driver I just hired.

Li Xiao set foot on this familiar land again, smelling the air that seemed to be fresher than in previous years.A smile appeared on Li Xiao's face. Recently, the country has paid more and more attention to environmental protection. Many companies have no way to continue to discharge indiscriminately. The air quality has obviously improved a lot. The sky is bluer and the clouds are whiter.

Holding a big bag, Li Xiao used the key to open the somewhat old door.

Although the tannery my parents worked in closed down due to some accidents, the family buildings assigned to the employees have already belonged to the employees below.

It will not make Li Xiao's family fall into a homeless situation.

However, because the house is relatively old, many residents who originally lived here have already moved out one after another.

The residents who still live here are basically old people who are unwilling to move out, or those whose family environment is relatively poor like Li Xiao's.

Although Li Xiao's family is in a town below Dongguan City, although the housing prices here are much lower than those in the city, they are still too high compared to the wages of ordinary local workers.

Li Xiao's house lives on the 6th floor. Although it is not high, this kind of old residential building does not have elevators.

Fortunately, I have been running around outside for live broadcasts these years, and my physical fitness is much stronger than before. Otherwise, it would be difficult to climb up to the 6th floor with a lot of things.

Li Xiao stood at the door of the house, looking at the wall next to the iron gate.

All kinds of psoriasis advertisements are plastered on the walls, and some places without advertisements are mottled.

The foot of the wall has been damp and moldy all the year round, so the wall plaster on it has long since fallen off, and the red bricks inside can be easily seen.

A musty smell that lingers for a long time spreads into the nostrils, and you can see exposed wires when you look up.

Li Xiao frowned, it seemed that his plan to buy a house was indeed on the agenda.

Otherwise, he eats delicious food and drinks spicy food every day, but his parents still live in such an old shabby little house, his heart will not let go on purpose.

Before he opened the door, his mother's excited voice came from the kitchen.

"Son, are you back so early? Are you tired from the car ride? Sit down and have a rest. Dinner is ready. You can eat it when your dad comes back."

A middle-aged woman in an apron came out of the kitchen in a hurry. The woman's figure was relatively slender, but her lack of maintenance skin had already looked a little dull.

However, in his early 40s, there are already faintly visible white hair on his head, and there are also many wrinkles on his face.

Li Xiao just looked at his mother's face, feeling a little distressed, but it's been a year since she saw her, and her mother seemed to be much older than last year, with more gray hair on her head.

Li Xiao raised his hand and glanced at his mobile phone. It's past 6 o'clock and close to [-] o'clock. Is his father still not off work?
he frowned

"Why is it almost seven o'clock now, and my father hasn't come home yet?"

The mother showed a smiling face and said with a smile
"Your father's factory recently received a big order. There are more overtime hours, and the overtime hours are twice the wages. Your father said that he will give you more money. You are not young. When the time comes I will buy you a house in the urban area so that you can marry a daughter-in-law in a splendid manner."

Li Xiao's eyes were a little hot, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, quickly took a deep breath, and complained
"Why do you get off work overtime all day long? Both of you are in your 40s, you should leave work when you should, and you should take vacation when you should. Didn't I tell you on the phone before that my income is already very high, really? You don't have to worry about it."

Mother smiled disapprovingly

"We are only in our 40s, and we are still young. We are about to rest at the age of 40. Isn't this being laughed at by others?"

"A lot of workers in your father's factory are over 50 years old and are rushing to work overtime. If the list is not big enough, your father would not be able to work overtime."

"Besides, you are a star who eats youth food. If you are handsome and beautiful when you are young, you will definitely earn more money, but you have to think about the future. How old are you now? When you are old, you will no longer be popular and have no income, so what can you do, right? To be a human being, you must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and accumulate food to prevent hunger."

Li Xiao took a breath. If it wasn't for the system, he couldn't tell others. He really wanted to tell his mother that the system in his hands would only make him more and more popular, because his popularity could be accumulated continuously. If I continue to visit the store, I am afraid that as long as I grow up enough time, people in half of the Han Kingdom will know me.

But although he couldn't tell the systematic things, there were some things that could intuitively tell his mother how much his current income was.

Thinking of this, he opened his mobile banking.

"You're just worrying about it. I'm an anchor, not a star. You really don't have to worry about me. My career is not like those stars you think. My kind of reputation is accumulated, and I will only get better and better. And my current income is really high, if you don’t believe me, I will show you my latest income record.”

After finishing speaking, he handed the mobile phone in front of his mother, and Liang Jinjian was obviously taken aback when he saw the mobile phone stretched out.

But he didn't refuse, after all, it was his son's income, so it was only natural for him as a mother to find out.

She quickly wiped her hands on the apron, took the phone and squinted at the screen.

She quickly found the account balance column, she said while counting with her fingers

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred."

When she counted to a million, she couldn't even say the word ten thousand, she gasped and her eyes widened.

Her fingers trembled and moved back to the last digit, she swallowed and started counting again
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred."

She gasped again, and spoke with a trembling voice

"Son, you have done something illegal, right? It's more than 200 million, don't scare your mother!!! If you really did something illegal, let's return the money quickly, and then Go to the security department and surrender yourself, my mother heard that as long as you admit your mistakes sincerely, you can properly reduce your guilt."

But as she spoke, her voice dropped, her lips trembled, and she didn't know what she thought of, so she quickly overturned the previous decision
"No, no, you have more than 200 million yuan, the matter must not be small, even if you surrender yourself to reduce your guilt, you will probably be in prison, so let's go find your second uncle quickly, and the third uncle fled to other countries to escape Once you avoid the limelight, don't come back in the future, your father and I will go to foreign countries to see you during the holidays."

Speaking of the back, the voice was full of tears.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Li Xiao covered her face. How many 8 o'clock soap operas did she usually watch? ?This associative ability can be said to be quite strong. Given a pen, my mother could probably write a novel like "Punching Cards: From a Third-Rate Anchor to a Top Chef".

Seeing that his mother seemed about to cry, he quickly grabbed the phone, frantically opened the backstage of the kitten live broadcast, and clicked on the income page.

He quickly pointed to the screen and said loudly

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, let's see clearly first, this income is all clear, it is all the money I earned from live broadcasting, it is clean, what are you thinking? I still fled abroad, and I rescued it a few days ago. How could it break the law if you bought a Chinese white dolphin!? Don’t think too much about it and hear your son’s explanation.”

Liang Jinjian was taken aback for a moment. A few days ago, he heard from his two younger brothers that his son could earn a lot of money a day by live streaming.

But she didn't ask in detail how much she could earn in a day. In her understanding, earning a few hundred or a thousand a day was already a lot.

After all, earning 1000 yuan a day, 3 yuan a month is already a number that she can't even imagine.

However, when he really saw the numbers on his son's mobile phone, she realized how much money she could earn from a day's live broadcast.

When she turned to the day when Li Xiao earned more than 50 yuan in a day because of fighting with sharks.

Not calm at all, she pointed to the day's income and asked in surprise

"This, this, why did you earn more than 50 yuan in one day??"

Li Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, because he didn't dare to tell his mother the truth.

At the beginning, he also made it clear to his two uncles that this matter must be kept a secret, otherwise his mother would know that he would have at least one layer of skin off in order to save a dolphin and fight a shark in the sea.

He hastened to explain

"It's like this. That day when we went fishing with my third uncle, we happened to encounter a white dolphin being chased by a shark. I happened to kill the shark with a speargun on the fishing boat. The people in the live broadcast room saw it and gave it to me if they were happy. So many rewards."

Liang Jinjian took a deep breath. She looked up and down at her son, whose skin had turned dark and his body seemed to have become much stronger. Her tone was full of doubts.
"You still kill sharks? How is it possible?"

Although she has lived in Dongguan for many years after she got married, she grew up by the sea when she was a child. How powerful a shark is, she clearly wants to kill a shark with a speargun. .

Reluctantly, Li Xiao had no choice but to call his second uncle and third uncle as his rescuers. After an explanation, Liang Jinjian finally believed in his son, and really killed a shark with just a small speargun.

After all, my son is unreliable and may lie to me, but my two younger brothers are so old, how could I lie to myself?

Thinking that my son could earn more than 230 million a year after graduation, a burst of pride and relief immediately rushed to my heart.

You know, this is more than 200 million, not more than 200.

A child who has just graduated for a year can actually earn such a huge sum of money. She and her husband have worked for so many years, and they probably haven't earned such a sum of money.

At this time, there was the sound of keys at the door, and a tired man's voice came

"I'm back, is my son home?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Jianguo saw his son chatting with his wife, and the tiredness on his face was unconsciously lessened.

He lifted the packing bag in his hand, he said with a smile
"Two roasted goose legs, you and your mother each freshly baked, eat while it's hot."

The meal was enjoyable, and Li Xiao didn't give in to the two roasted goose legs. Although he had eaten many more expensive dishes, in his opinion, it was his father's love for him, and this was the best Yes, although this paternal love seems a bit cheap to outsiders.

But Li Xiao didn't think so. After working hard overtime, a middle-aged man would not even be willing to buy his own roast goose leg. He thought that such a father's love was extremely important.

Because the value of money is different in everyone's eyes, the 1000 yuan in the hands of the rich second generation is completely different from the 1000 yuan in the hands of a poor boy.

The 1000 yuan in the hands of the rich second generation may be just his breakfast, while the 1000 yuan in the hands of the poor boy may be his living expenses for two months.

For Li Xiao's father, it's not that he doesn't have money to buy a third roast goose leg, but he is reluctant to buy it.

Because it was because he worked hard overtime, not for good food and drink, but for the money he saved to buy a house for his son to get married.

But he can suffer himself, but he doesn't want to suffer with his wife and children all the time, so he chooses to buy only two and not eat them himself.

The meals are very rich, including fish, meat, chicken, and roast goose legs.

Before moving his chopsticks, Li Xiao uttered the thoughts that had been in his heart.

"It's like this. I want to buy a house in the urban area."

Li Jianguo hesitated for a moment with the hand holding the chopsticks, but he quickly nodded
"Buying a house should actually be on the agenda. It's better to buy it sooner than later. Although I don't have much money now, I can borrow from other relatives to buy a small commercial house. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Okay, then tomorrow is just a holiday. I'll ask your mother to ask for a leave. The three of us will go to the city to see which neighborhood is better."

With a smile on his face, he and his wife have worked hard all their lives, isn't it just for the sake of saying such a sentence when their children say they want to buy a house?
After all, buying a house is a big deal for an ordinary family. Many families earn their entire lives to buy such a house.

But there was hesitation on his face

"But you also know that your parents are incompetent workers. They only have so little money a month, and they may not have much money in their hands."

"At that time, I will either choose a smaller set, or I can only pay you a down payment. I heard from your mother that your income has increased recently, and you still have [-] yuan a month."

"That should be barely enough to pay the mortgage. If it's not enough, we'll have some leftovers. We can help you a few thousand yuan a month. It's not a big problem."
