Li Mo came from thousands of miles away and came to this remote place. He was going to Xiaowu Village, probably for the antiques passed down from his ancestors in Xiaowu Village. After thinking about it, Ma Tianyu and the three of them actually figured out some of the truth.
"I will confirm the matter with Wu Xiaonong first, and then report it to my superiors. Li Mo is not an ordinary person, he is also a great philanthropist. Maybe after seeing the hard life of the villagers here, he will donate a sum of money to build a bridge. "
Ma Tianyu had a very active mind. He took out his mobile phone and started practicing. He hung up after about a few minutes, with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Head, what did Wu Xiaonong say?"
"Judging from my description, Wu Xiaonong said that the person must be Li Mo. The eleven ancestral treasures of Xiaowu Village were sold to Li Mo in the Magic City. As for the purpose of his coming, Wu Xiaonong didn't know. I know. The only thing I know is that Li Mo once said in front of him to come back and take a walk and look around."
A staff member immediately whispered: "Head, Li Mo is known as the Immortal Eye, and there will be treasures in all the places he has visited. Last year's tombs of Emperor Zhou in Luo City, the Jiuzhou Ding of the Xia Yu Dynasty, and those in Shaanxi The birth of Di Fu Feng in the Tang Dynasty underground palace, every birth is earth-shattering. Do you think he also got some clues to hunt for treasures when he came here this time?"
"It's really possible, but no, we have to go to the county in person to report the matter to our superiors. We can't explain it over the phone."
Li Mo and his team came to the county town in a convoy. The county town is also located in the mountains. The entire county town is not as large and spacious as in the north. There are many newly developed high-rise buildings. The county seat here seems a bit old, which is also related to the lack of economic development.
The best hotel in the county is only a three-star hotel in terms of specifications. It looks a bit old from the outside, but the interior decoration is okay. Twenty-two customers came at once, and the front hall immediately became lively.
Judging from their clothes, the account manager in the lobby immediately judged that they were not simple, so he went to receive them in person. When he saw Li Mo's ID card when registering, his expression could not help but move slightly, but he did not ask, but handled it very skillfully. check in.
After everyone had booked their rooms, the lobby manager hurriedly contacted the boss.
"Boss, Mr. Li Mo, the owner of Gu Yunxuan in Kyoto and a dual-time professor at Qingdao University and Peking University, has checked into our hotel. In the morning, the superiors sent a notice asking us to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, he has already arrived. Do you want to come forward? Okay, I know how to do it.”
After getting ready and checking in, Lao Tian also ordered a meal. When they went to the restaurant on the second floor to eat, the large round table was already filled with various dishes. And they are all famous dishes here, such as mutton soup pot, fish casserole, steam pot chicken, Xuanwei stir-fried pork, Dajiujia, black three-chop, roast duck, etc. They are basically a collection of specialties from all over Yun Province.
"Brother Tian, you are quite good at ordering." Chen Xiaoyan looked at the dishes on the table, especially those wild vegetables from the local mountains, which she had never eaten before.
Everyone knows Chen Xiaoyan's identity, Chen Feng's niece and Chen Xiaojun's sister. Since the boss keeps her with him, she will definitely be reused in the future, and she will be a high-ranking person in the company in the future.
So Lao Tian just smiled and said: "Actually, where I know how to order dishes, it was suggested by the hotel chef, saying that these dishes are more popular. When we were in the army, the dishes we cooked were oily and meaty, but there is no such thing. So exquisite."
"It's already past noon, so don't wait any longer. Eat whatever you want. If you don't have enough, order more."
Li Mo didn't move his chopsticks, and neither did anyone else, so he had to eat first. There is also locally brewed fruit wine in the hotel. The alcohol content is similar to that of beer, but the taste is very different. It is a bit sour and sweet, and it can appetize and relieve greasiness after one sip.
"This fruit wine is not bad. Have any of you seen it in the north?"
"Fruit wines like this are usually found on tourist streets, such as bayberry wine, green plum wine, etc., which are rarely seen in restaurants, let alone hotels. I have actually bought them before. To be honest, those The so-called fruit wine is really misleading. I barely drank half the bottle and still poured it all down." Lao Tian took another sip and said, "Boss, I think this fruit wine is authentic. It should be pure local brewing with nothing added."
"Sir, I see that you are quite good at tasting wine." A decent-looking waiter brought some hot towels and asked everyone to wipe their faces. "There is nothing else in our place, except that there are many wild fruits in the mountains. There are a lot of them, they are not big, and it is difficult to transport them out to open the retail market, so the locals will go up the mountain to pick some and take them home to make their own fruit wine. The fruit wine in our hotel is also brewed by ourselves. The alcohol content is not high, sour and sweet. , it tastes better when you drink it chilled in the summer. Tourists from out of town like it when they come, and they will take some back for their families to taste before leaving."
“Isn’t there a local winery?”
The taste of the wild vegetables Li Mo ate was obviously different from the food coming out of the vegetable greenhouse.
Wild vegetables have more of the flavor of the vegetables themselves, and the taste of vegetables coming out of greenhouses is the same.
"Our transportation is inconvenient, so it is difficult to brew wine on a large scale. There were investors who were interested in this fruit wine before, but after the inspection, nothing happened."
"Uncle Junior, are you interested in this?"
"Just pay more attention. If the basic conditions here do not change, no matter how good the idea is, it will be useless and cannot be implemented. Everyone, let's eat. If you think this fruit wine is delicious, drink more. We don't have anything big to do in the afternoon. We like to go out. If you want to go shopping, go out for a walk; if you don’t want to go shopping, just stay in the hotel and rest.”
Lao Tian followed up and said: "This is the first time for everyone to come out with the boss. Fruit wine is also wine, just try it."
Li Mo said it didn't matter.
Before the meal was over, Li Mo received a call from his grandfather. He put down his chopsticks and walked aside to answer the call.
"Xiao Mo, are you still in Kundi?"
"No more. I've left. Now I'm in a small county town. I'm just having dinner."
"How far is it from Kundi?"
"About three hours, grandpa, do you have any instructions?"
"Well, an old comrade of mine saved my life before. After his retirement, he is retiring in Kundi. If you happen to be somewhere, go and visit him for me."
"Okay, send me your address and phone number, and I'll contact the old man."
"Then I'll hang up first."
It was a little strange when Li Mo hung up the phone. Since he was an old comrade, why didn't he mention it during the video yesterday, but it only came up the next day? This may not just be as simple as visiting the old man, but there may be other more important things, but it's just hard to mention on the phone.
A text message came from a man named Lu, followed by a mobile phone number.
Since grandpa called specifically to explain, Li Mo immediately dialed the number and got through after five rings.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Mo?"
Before Li Mo said hello, the person on the other end of the phone took the initiative to speak. His voice should be that of a middle-aged man, his voice was a bit rough, loud and full of momentum.
"Hello Mr. Lu, my name is Li Mo. My grandfather gave me this number and said I could contact one of his old comrades."
"Hahaha, that's my old father. Mr. Li, where are you now? How about I arrange a car to pick you up?"
"Mr. Lu, it's like this. I left Kundi early this morning, and it's about three hours away now. Do you think this will work? I'll probably return to Kundi tomorrow afternoon. I'll contact you then and come to visit you. Visit Mr. Lu."
"No problem, then I'll be waiting for Mr. Li to arrive tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo thought for a moment and called Chen Xiaojun and asked him to find a way to immediately send a box of antique wine that had been collected for a hundred years to Kuncheng. When you go to see the old man, you can't go empty-handed.
In a very clean high-end villa group in Kuncheng, there was a family whose living room was full of people. The old man who was looked down upon by everyone had silver hair and a slightly chubby figure, but his eyes were bright and calm as he sat there. The man sitting next to him was a man about fifty years old. He put his mobile phone gently on the coffee table and said, "Dad, Li Mo will come over tomorrow."
The old man nodded slightly.
"Uncle, can Li Mo really help you?"
A young man in his mid-twenties asked, his face full of disbelief as he called out his name.
"Lu Jun, even though you can be successful in Yun Province, you may not be able to get ranked outside. But that Li Mo is different. Everything that happens to him can be described as a miracle. . Whoever he stepped on in Kyoto and Jinmen was much stronger than our Lu family, but in the end, you all know what happened to them."
Lu Zuoyi glanced at his eldest brother's son and couldn't help but sigh to himself. They are both young men. There is no way to compare this boy with Li Mo. He is not even qualified to compare. One stands on the top of Mount Tai, and the other stands on Mount Tai. feet, not even qualified to look up.
The spirit is so high that it can be blinded by so-called successful people, making it useless.
"Zuo Yi, this competition is very critical. His age is very subtle. If you can't pass it, you have to wait for a long time. Once you pass it, it will be an absolute huge advantage and the future is promising. That's why I contacted the sour scholar. I hope He can help you. But he directly said that you can just ask Li Mo. Although I have never met him in person, I know a lot about him. Being able to be favored by people in the sequence shows how strong he is. fear."
Mr. Lu said a few words, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of warm water.
"Dad, my current position is quite embarrassing. If I really want to be promoted, I wonder what kind of method that Li Mo can come up with that can not only help me, but also make everyone speechless and convinced."
"Whether it is a god or a human, we will know tomorrow night. I would like to remind everyone, pay attention to your attitude after seeing Li Mo tomorrow. If you can't control your mouth, then don't show up. If anyone is bad, Thing, huh."
The old man snorted, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. The eldest son's family, daughter's family, and Lu Zuoyi's family all looked solemn.
Li Mo slept until dawn. It was good to be in a small county town. The sun was rising high outside and there was still very little traffic on the streets. Electric bicycles were the main means of transportation.
"Boss, the official person in charge here wants to see you."
Lao Tian came over to report that the boss was the boss, and he was the center of attention wherever he went.
Li Mo just finished washing up, opened a bottle of mineral water, drank it and said: "It's still time to meet them, so as not to give wrong information to others. Please reply for me, even if I will keep walking this way during this time, etc. When the opportunity is ripe, I will take the initiative to place responsible persons in charge.”
"Yes, then I will reply to them like this."
Li Mo originally planned to go to Xiaowu Village again today, but his grandfather's appointment was also very important, so the meeting with Wu Xiaonong could be postponed for a while.
"Uncle Junior, my brother called and he has arrived in Kuncheng."
"He came here in person?"
"Well, I told him to settle down first and we'll meet at the Kuncheng Hotel in the afternoon."
"Okay, let's have breakfast, pack up, and prepare to go back to Kuncheng."
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when Li Mo and the others returned to Kuncheng. Chen Xiaojun and four security guards were sitting in the leisure area on the first floor chatting when they saw Li Mo standing up quickly.
"It's been a hundred days since your muscles and bones were broken. You should stay in Kyoto and recuperate."
"Little uncle, my injury is nothing. The main reason for coming here this time is that it is too hot in Kyoto. Where can the temperature be as pleasant as in Kundi?"
"Everyone, sit down, Lao Tian, go and order a cup of iced coffee or a drink for everyone." Li Mo ordered, and then asked everyone to sit down, "Is there anything wrong with the wine?"
"It's intact. Before I came here, Mr. Shi asked me to bring five pieces of porcelain as gifts. I didn't understand, so I asked Professor Sima to help me select five pieces of common porcelain. You can take a look at it in person when you return to the room later."
"Since it was selected by Professor Sima, there is no problem. I will go see an old man in the evening, so you can stay in the hotel. There has been a lot of fuss about me in the past two days. It is estimated that many people will already be paying attention to us. .”
"Don't worry, little uncle. Let Lao Tian accompany you tonight."
"Just let Xiaoyan follow me, otherwise the master will mistakenly think that I don't trust their security force."
Chen Xiaoyan immediately widened her eyes and said: "Uncle Master, I will bring the invincible stick that subdues the dragon and subdues the tiger."
"Isn't it Wulang Bagua stick?"
"The Wulang Bagua stick refers to the stick technique, and the invincible stick is a weapon for subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger."
Li Mo laughed loudly: "I must find an opportunity to see with my own eyes how powerful your Wulang Bagua stick technique is."
"Xiaoyan, don't act nonsense."
Chen Xiaojun was also a bit dumbfounded. She has been very independent since she was a child and has never let her family worry about her. She has also worked very hard in practicing stick skills since she was a child. Anyway, her Wulang Bagua stick technique will definitely have no problem against three or five big men. If she wasn't born as a girl and lacked strength, her fighting power would have been first-rate and fierce.
Judging from various signs, Li Mo is ready to train her well. Thinking of Chen Xiaofeng at home, who couldn't hold up the wall with mud, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh secretly, hoping that he could find his way back, otherwise Chenjiacun would never be able to tolerate him.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a Porsche luxury car parked at the door of the villa community, and a fat middle-aged man was standing at the door waiting.
"Hello Mr. Li."
"Hello Mr. Lu."
He was the one who was talking to him on the phone. Li Mo was very jealous now. When he saw the feeling on his body, he knew that he was working in the government and his status was not low.
"Mr. Li, please follow my car. There is a parking space at the door."
When Li Mo passed through the guard box, he looked around. There were still enough guards here. If someone named Lu hadn't come out to greet him in person, he would have had to go through various checks before entering.
The car stopped in front of a villa, and many people came out to greet him, which showed that they valued Li Mo. But the more this happened, the more unsure Li Mo felt, and he didn't know what his grandfather meant by asking him to come.
Li Mo took out a box of century-old antique wine from the back seat of the car, but the box used to store the wine was previously used to store ham. Chen Xiaoyan carried her Dragon Subduing Tiger Invincible Stick on her back, and then followed Li Mo carrying a square box.
While greeting Li Mo, the Lu family members looked at Chen Xiaoyan strangely from the corner of their eyes. They didn't know what she was carrying.
"This is Chen Xiaoyan, the fourth generation disciple of the Huizhou Chen family's Bajiquan. Of course, she does not practice Bajiquan, but a stick technique."
With Li Mo watching from the front, Chen Xiaoyan didn't feel any panic at all. She smiled and nodded to everyone.
In the living room, Li Mo and Mr. Lu finally met.
"Mr. Lu, this is a small gift that my grandpa asked me to bring you."
The Lu family all looked at the ham packaging box and thought that the old man's comrades were not very good at giving gifts. My old man has never liked eating this kind of meat, so he doesn't know what Shi Lao means.
"Did your grandpa really ask you to give this ham to me?" Mr. Lu asked with a smile.
"Ham?" Li Mo looked at the packaging box and said sheepishly, "Mr. Lu, what's inside is not ham, but six bottles of antique liquor that has been treasured for a hundred years."
After speaking, he opened the box, and six bottles of old wine full of age appeared in front of everyone.
"This is good. Only that sour scholar understands me."
Mr. Lu's eyes were shining. As expected, people with a military background have a special attitude towards wine, which has not changed even as they get older. He took out a bottle and looked at it carefully, then looked up at Li Mo: "Where did you get this?"
"Faguo, I picked it up when I went to Europe last time. After one sip, the wine has a strong aroma and endless aftertaste. It doesn't hurt your head and is not intoxicating. Grandpa said that you will drink better when you are old, so I brought six bottles for you to try. .”
"This is a collection of centuries-old antique wine. It's a good thing that even money can't buy. If you don't want to drink it, keep it first."
Li Mo took the square box from Chen Xiaoyan, opened it and took out five porcelains, two plates and three bowls one by one.
"Mr. Lu, this is what grandpa gave you for daily play. A pair of large yellow-ground Baizi bowls made in the Jiaqing year of the Qing Dynasty, a blue and white lotus pattern bowl made in the Jiaqing year of the Qing Dynasty, and a pair of pastel bowls made in the Daoguang year of the Qing Dynasty. plate."
The Lu family's living room has become quiet, and everyone is silently staring at the six bottles of century-old antique wine and five authentic pieces of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty on the coffee table. Is he such a willful person that he takes out these treasures and gives them away like cabbage?
