madman and kidnapper

Chapter 78 Dongjiakuang Village
That village had already connected with the travel agency, so there was a large open space in front of the houses in the first row for parking. Li Chi deliberately asked the driver to park the car at the outermost side, and let the people in the car get off in turn. car, he walked in the front to lead the way.

Although it is just a parking lot, the village is not fooled at all. Even the grass embedded in the grass bricks is shiny and green, and it can be seen that someone has carefully taken care of it.

Small vegetable gardens have been opened at both ends of the yard, row by row, and the low wall is surrounded by small stones. It looks very neat and tidy. There are many roses on the wall, red, red, yellow and yellow, which add color to the small courtyard. Not a lot.

"Tsk, look at this yard, it's really clean..."

Li Er tsk-tsk as he walked, he didn't want to come, but his mother-in-law just grabbed him by the ear and kicked him out, so at the beginning, Li Er was full of reluctance, muttering about wasting time, but this time After getting out of the car for a while, and didn't even take a few steps, Li Er felt that this trip was too worthwhile.

Tell me, this yard is originally a farmer’s route, and the layout and houses are just an improved version of rural housing. The difference is naturally those decoration materials that are not commonly used in the village, just like people’s windows do not need to be opened. Yes, it’s push-pull. People’s doors don’t use wood, they’re made of metal, and the workmanship is very fine.

Let’s look at the decorations in those yards. Let’s talk about this dustpan. Every household has it. But why is the dustpan hanging on the wall of this courtyard so shiny? It looks like it’s been specially painted with a layer of paint. , and a row of rakes, hoes, and shovels hanging on the wall. They don’t look like they can be used. The handle is too thin, isn’t it? If you can’t hoe it twice, the iron head will fall off, but it can’t hold those things It looks good, what people pay attention to is that it is not useful.

"Hey, tell me, the things in this yard are common to us, how come they put them here, it's comfortable just to look at them, and put them there for a look, they'll all be buried," said Li Mutou, a woodworker. My son, an expert, started to look around after getting off the car, and kept commenting on this and that, not idle at all, "Eh? The nephew of the village chief, I can't spend a lot of money just looking at these things." Qian, did you talk big before, didn't you?"

Li Chi curled his lips: "Uncle, you are a carpenter, and you know more about carpentry than we do, but you don't know much about other things. Look over there, even though there is a small waterwheel at the door You can do it, can you tell how much the stone next to it is? Let’s not talk about the big one, just look at the smallest one, and you can estimate the price.”

Li Mumu scratched his head, thinking how much is a piece of broken stone worth?He could find a place by poking around on the mountain at will, but seeing Li Chi's deceitful look, he guessed that the price should not be as cheap as he thought, so he raised the price he had in mind:

"It's only four or five hundred."

Li Mutou thought about it, but he didn't expect Li Chi to burst out laughing as soon as he made an offer, but before Li Chi could laugh out loud, Tao Qing came out from nowhere and stood up to the two of them. in the middle.

"Tell me about you. You also know that he is a carpenter. Why are you competing with him?" Tao Qing pushed Li Chi, "It's been such a long journey, and I'm still grinding!"

Li Chi's face was embarrassing, but he was obviously still not convinced. He was a little annoyed now, and felt that this woman was really inefficient.

"What do you mean by competition?" Li Chi grinned, and decided not to be as fussy as she was, "We are here for inspection today, so of course we have to take a closer look, right? Uncle Mu raised doubts about this initial investment, so I As the person who initiates the project, you have to be responsible for helping people solve their doubts, right? Listen to what you said, it's too ugly."

"Yes! Kidnap, his wife, the nephew of the village chief is right," Li Mutou didn't accept Tao Qing's affection, so he had to ask the ugly Yimao, "It's okay, his nephew, you should tell me about yourself , Uncle believes you!"

Tao Qing rolled her eyes at the side, thinking that this is really an honest man who is still counting the money after being sold.

Li Chi also felt a little embarrassed to let Tao Qing make such a fuss. Indeed, what is he competing with a farmer? If Li Mutou asked about his woodwork, or asked about the The question of how to insert the seedlings, then I can answer it enough.

"Well, it's not much different from what you guessed, it's just... four or five thousand..."

He muttered under his breath, as if he had made a mistake.

"What! It costs four to five thousand for just such a broken stone! This is not a stone, is it gold?"

Li Mutou stared at him immediately, and picked up a small hoe from the small vegetable garden next to him, and said that he was about to knock on the stone, but he wanted to see if there was any gold hidden in it.

"Don't, don't, uncle! You can't knock it! If you knock it down, you will lose money!" Li Chi hurriedly grabbed Li Mumu, who was "sharpening the knife to the stone", "It's Taihu Stone, and its price is related to its shape. Expensive, including the transportation expenses, four or five thousand is worth it."

"Tell me, do you guys have money and no place to spend it? Instead of saving money for renovations, you spend a lot of money to buy a whole piece of broken stone!"

Li Mutou obviously still couldn't understand, if Li Chi hadn't been pulling him hard, seeing how his eyes were shining, maybe he could really go up and knock a piece of the stone off.

"You don't understand. This is also part of the decoration. Don't look at the other things that are common in the village. If you really use them to support the facade, isn't it too shabby? Then how can you improve the grade? Therefore, we have to work hard on this kind of objects, so that they can be refined in simplicity, and luxurious in low-key, and tourists also need to look good.”

Li Chi babbled while dragging people forward, his eloquence seemed like that of a pyramid scheme leader.

The large army wasted a lot of time on this road. The waiters of the restaurant had already been waiting at the door. It seems that this group of people didn't come over. Although today is a working day, it is the peak tourist season at the moment. , There are still many guests in the room, the waiter was anxious, so he trotted over to say hello:

"Everyone is here? Please come inside! Who is Mr. Li Chi?"

Li Chi was also in a hurry, but everyone was so interested that they refused to move. Hearing someone calling at this moment, he quickly raised his hand and responded:

"Here, here I am!"

The little waiter hurried up to meet her, somewhat urging in her mouth:
"Hey, you're here. Our village chief has been waiting inside for a long time. Come in, everyone. It's too hot outside, and the air conditioner inside can keep you cool."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Chi cupped his hands to the little waiter in gratitude, "Don't look at it, there are still good things inside. If you haven't seen enough outside, let's wait until we leave. The village chief is still waiting inside!"

Li Chi thought that shouting would definitely not work, but he didn't expect everyone to calm down when they heard that the village chief was there, and obediently followed the little waiter inside.

Well, Li Chi spread his hands behind him, looking quite helpless.

As soon as he entered the door, the cold air hit his face. Li Chi was like a fish out of the water for a long time. He sighed for a long time in this air-conditioned room that dries sweat quickly. , but other people live in accordance with the seasons. They should sweat in summer and add clothes in winter. Even in the hottest dog days, they just turn on the fan to blow. "Treatment", immediately someone sneezed a series of children.

This includes Kidnap, but other people sneeze and spit at most, he is lucky, a snot bubble bulges out, but he is quick enough to hold the snot in his hand, otherwise Tao Qing's new clothes will be ruined. It's about to suffer.

"Oh!"

Tao Qing ran to the side in disgust, grabbed a few sheets of paper on the side table and threw them to the abductee, the abductee took it with a smile, and wiped his nose very badly.

"Everyone can take a look around on their own. There are guests in the inner hall, so don't go in. It's not too late to wait for the guests to leave. In addition, Mr. Li Chi and Miss Tao Qing are here, and our village chief is over there. Waiting."

"okay."

Li Chi responded, turned his head and explained a few words to everyone, then followed the waiter to the other side, Tao Qing naturally followed, and quietly dragged away the kidnapper while others were not paying attention.

Fortunately, everyone was already attracted by the interior decoration, but no one paid attention to where the kidnapper went.

"hiss……"

Li Mutou stood there for a long time and began to be puzzled, but this time he was not in a hurry to yell, one is that Li Chi is not here, and the other is that he is afraid of losing his face again and let others say that he is ignorant, but in the end he really couldn't hold back. After stopping, he murmured to himself in a low voice:

"Hey, why don't they even paint the walls? Just paint the cement surface? Is this a low-key luxury?"

The little waiter led Li Chi and Tao Qing into a private room. As soon as the door was opened, the people inside got off the kang and walked to the door to welcome them.

"Hey, representatives of Lijiatuner, hello. I am the village head of Dongjiakuang Village. My surname is Du. Just call me Lao Du. You two, oh no, it's three, what do you call the three of you?"

The village head is a middle-aged man, he looks very energetic, and he speaks in a leisurely manner, which is very comfortable to listen to.

Li Chi hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Lao Du, and began to introduce:

"My surname is Li, and the single name is Chi. You can call me Xiao Li. This is Ms. Tao Qingtao, and that one is Ms. Tao's partner. Li...old brother..."

Li Chi almost uttered the words "Li Guaizi" directly.

"Yo," Lao Du's eyes lit up, looking quite surprised, "Brother Li is so lucky, he married such a beautiful wife, it seems that my brother is a capable person!"

Li Guaizi listened to Lao Du boasting that Tao was beautiful, but didn't understand that he was actually complimenting him, so he nodded in agreement, which made Li Chi feel ashamed for him.

"Come, come, don't stand at the door, let's sit on the kang."

Lao Du turned his body sideways, and everyone finally sat on the kang.

This kang is very big, with a square table and five futons on it. The futons are not made of straw, but emit a fragrance of mugwort leaves, and people will not feel panic when sitting on them. There is a row of control keys together with the switch.

"Sister-in-law, the electric kang in their house is the latest model. It is safe and has low radiation. We will buy this later."

Li Chi pointed to Tao Qing, he had obviously investigated it a long time ago.

Li Guaizi was surprised. He was "hissing" and "um" next to him, making it difficult for people not to pay attention to him. Originally, Tao Qing didn't want to talk to him. Seeing that he had something to say, he smiled and asked him what was wrong.

Li Chi rubbed his nose at the side. Originally, he and Tao Qing were the main characters today. Now, Lao Du is obviously more interested in Li Guaizi, even though Li Guaizi is still in simple clothes. She doesn't look like a rich master, but her "wife" is so bright. When Tao Qing sits next to her, she looks like a big gold, with a bluffing golden light shining all over her body.

It can be seen that women are indeed the face of men to a certain extent.
