Chapter 208: One Stone Stirs up a Thousand Waves!
The area of the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area is not very large.
In the morning, Luo Shuning and Shui Miaomiao took Zhang Hongtu and his wife to visit all the scenic spots.
After lunch, it was time to consider the issue of accommodation.
Luo Shuning suggested: "There is a Bailu Villa in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door, and the accommodation conditions are pretty good.
Senior brother and sister-in-law, please stay there for the night."
"Isn't your scenic area not on good terms with the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door?"
Deng Wenjuan smiled and said: "Even if your senior brother and I sleep on the street, we won't support their business."
"Your sister-in-law is right. Besides, didn't you say that their hot springs are fake? Why spend that money?"
Zhang Hongtu pointed to a small hotel opposite the dumpling restaurant and said: "Isn't there one there? Your sister-in-law and I can just stay there for one night."
"How can that be possible? Senior brother and sister-in-law are my guests. You two have come from afar, If I don't treat you two well, I'll make people laugh at me if I tell others about it."
Luo Shuning suggested, "How about we go to the county town tonight and find a hotel to stay for the night."
"Shunning, don't bother me. Your senior brother and I are not that squeamish."
Deng Wenjuan said, "We can just stay in that hotel. It's close, so we don't have to travel that long distance."
"Your sister-in-law is right. We drove all the way here and we're tired. We've been playing for a whole morning. Now we feel our legs are a little sore. We're too lazy to bother."
Zhang Hongtu finally decided, "Let's stay in the hotel opposite. It's a little small, but I think the environment and sanitation are not bad."
"Then... OK." Seeing that the two insisted, Luo Shuning stopped persuading them.
After lunch, Shui Miaomiao and Luo Shuning sent Zhang Hongtu and his wife to the hotel opposite.
The name of the hotel is "Heilongshan Hotel", and the owner is also a young man from Luojiazhuang, named Luo Junjie.
Luo Junjie is younger than Luo Xuning, only 23 years old this year, and just graduated from college.
When Luo Junjie told his parents that he wanted to open a hotel, the old couple was afraid that he would lose all their savings, so they refused to pay no matter what.
Luo Junjie presented facts and reason to the couple, and it took a lot of effort to convince his parents to invest in him.
Nowadays, the hotel can earn more than 30,000 yuan a month.
Obviously, this investment is a success.
There are not many people in Beiqi Township who can earn 30,000 yuan a month.
Luo Junjie is now a well-known small boss in the local area.
The elders in the village all look up to him, and everyone who sees him has to praise him for his promising future.
The matchmakers from the ten miles and eight villages who tried to match Luo Junjie almost kicked down the threshold of his house. The old couple were so proud that they smiled every day and told everyone that their son had vision and courage.
"Hey! Brother Shuning, Sister Miaomiao, why are you two here! I was wondering if there were two magpies sitting on my grape tree early in the morning? It turns out that there are distinguished guests!"
When Luo Junjie saw Luo Shuning and Shui Miaomiao coming in, he quickly dropped his phone and came out of the service desk to greet them.
Luo Junjie, who was always a bit of a nobody in front of other people, had to be polite and honest when he met Luo Shuning and Shui Miaomiao.
He knew that the reason why his hotel was so popular and he could have his current status was all because of the scenic spot. It was nice to take shelter under a big tree!
Luo Shuning and the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area were the big trees for him to take shelter.
"Xiaohong! What are you still standing there for? You don't have any eyesight at all! Hurry up and come out to greet Mr. Luo and Mr. Shui!"
Luo Junjie saw that his waiter was standing still and turned around to scold him.
"Oh, oh, welcome, welcome Mr. Luo and Mr. Shui!"
The waiter was scolded by Luo Junjie, and hurried out of the service desk to bow to Luo Shuning and Shui Miaomiao.
"You kid, don't talk nonsense with me." Luo Shuning reached out and patted Luo Junjie's shoulder, and said with a smile, "These two are my guests, arrange a best guest room for them."
"No problem! Brother Shuning's guests are my guests of Luo Junjie!" Luo Junjie turned to the waiter and said, "Xiaohong, arrange the two guests to 208."
After instructing the waiter, Luo Junjie explained to Luo Shuning again: "Brother Shuning, 208 is the best guest room here.
The furniture and appliances inside are all brand new, and the beds and mattresses are also high-end products. Whoever lives here will feel comfortable."
"Well, I trust you to do things." Luo Shuning smiled and patted Luo Junjie's shoulder, very satisfied with his performance.
"Sorry to bother you, Boss Luo." Zhang Hongtu smiled and greeted Luo Junjie.
Luo Junjie smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble, you are the guest of Brother Xunning, and also the guest of me, Luo Junjie.
There is a phone in the guest room. If you need any help, just call our service desk."
"Okay, thank you." Zhang Hongtu nodded and said nothing more.
Deng Wenjuan looked at Luo Xunning and said, "Xunning, I have delayed your time for the whole morning. You should do what you need to do. Your senior brother and I will go up by ourselves."
Zhang Hongtu also said, "Yes, yes, Xunning, you go and do your own things. Don't worry about us. See you tomorrow."
"Then I will take you here." Luo Xunning smiled and nodded. He didn't plan to go up.
Watching Zhang Hongtu and his wife follow the waiter upstairs, Luo Xunning and Shui Miaomiao said goodbye to Luo Junjie and returned to the scenic spot.
As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Luo Xuning called Yang Mimi to his office and asked her to build a small stage for tomorrow's "recruiting disciples on behalf of the father" ceremony.
Yang Mimi has experience in this area. After receiving the order, she organized people to build the stage.
The afternoon passed in a flash.
At six o'clock in the evening, all employees of the scenic spot get off work and the scenic spot closes its doors.
At about 6:30, trucks one after another drove into the scenic spot from the employee passage.
Under the command of Luo Yanning, the truck drivers piled various materials into the open space in front of the original canteen.
Welcoming and delivering, we waited until 10pm, when the last load of materials was dumped.
"Thank you for your hard work, master. Slow down on the road."
Luo Yanning threw a piece of Liqun in from the window of the truck and said goodbye to the truck driver.
"Thank you, Mr. Luo! I wish you a prosperous business!"
After the truck driver accepted the cigarettes Luo Yanning gave him, he started the vehicle and returned to the original route.
At 10:30 in the evening, the Heilong Mountain Scenic Area became quiet without the hustle and bustle of the day.
After Luo Yanning confirmed that no one was in the scenic area, he summoned the system to check the preparation status of raw materials.
[Delicious restaurant architectural drawings]
Required raw materials: 38/38 cubic meters of wood, 48/48 cubic meters of stone, 56000/56000 red bricks, 18/18 tons of glass, 36/36 barrels of red paint, 48/48 barrels of yellow paint, 29/29 barrels of green paint, Blue paint 26/26 bucket.
[The raw materials needed to build a delicious restaurant have been prepared. Do you want to start construction immediately? 】
Luo Yanning nodded and said: "Yes! Turn it on!"
Swish, swish, swish, swish--!
A burst of white light flashed, and dozens of workers wearing light gray work uniforms appeared out of thin air, and the mirror construction officially started.
A countdown appeared in the sky above the construction site: 71:59:59.
"Aha~" After watching the scene for a while, Luo Yanning said haha in a somewhat troubled manner, then turned and walked towards the office area of the scenic spot.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Luo Yanning got up early and went to the business district to meet Zhang Hongtu and his wife.
Shui Miaomiao arrived one step ahead of him.
After the four of them had breakfast at the dumpling restaurant, they set off back to the scenic spot together.
After arriving at the scenic spot, we went straight to the small stage for today's apprenticeship ceremony.
The stage this time was the same size as the stage at the previous unveiling ceremony of Peach Blossom Island. The stage was covered with a red carpet and supported by several tables.
On the green background cloth of the stage were written in big red letters the words "Mr. Zhang Hongtu's Acceptance Ceremony on His Father's behalf".
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Shui, Mr. Zhang, Ms. Deng, good morning everyone."
Yang Mimi was making final preparations next to the stage. When she saw a few people arriving, she hurriedly said hello.
Deng Wenjuan looked at the stage and smiled at Yang Mimi: "The stage is beautifully arranged. Thank you to all the employees in our scenic area for your hard work."
Yang Mimi hurriedly said modestly: "No hard work, no hard work, this is what we should do."
Luo Yanning asked from the side, "How are the preparations going?"
Yang Mimi looked at Luo Yanning and said seriously: "Back to Mr. Luo, the stage has been set up and the stage sound system has been adjusted."
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job." Luo Yanning nodded and affirmed Yang Mimi's work.
After inspecting the stage, Luo Yanning raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was just 8:30 in the morning.
There is still half an hour before the scenic spot opens, and one and a half hours before the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Hmm... like this Yang Mimi." Luo Yanning pointed to the big red characters on the curtain and ordered, "You ask someone to take off those big characters first, and then stick them on when the time is up."
"Would you like to take off those words first? Okay, Mr. Luo, I'll do it now!"
Although she didn't know why, Yang Mimi didn't ask and resolutely followed Luo Yanning's order.
Under Yang Mimi's command, several employees quickly removed the words on the curtain, leaving only the bare curtain.
"Boss, why did you remove those words..."
Shui Miaomiao blinked at Luo Yanning with her peach blossom eyes and asked her inner doubts.
Luo Yanning turned to look at Shui Miaomiao and said with a smile: "I want to give Lao Huang a surprise. What surprises can I have if I know it in advance?"
"You, bad boy, are just like your senior brother, you are bad and you are bad."
Deng Wenjuan smiled and shook her head, feeling more and more like the two brothers were like a family.
After the group visited the stage, Luo Yanning took Zhang Hongtu and his wife back to their office to take a rest.
At 9 a.m., the scenic spot officially opened for business as usual.
What is a little different is that in addition to the villagers who have always entered the scenic spot to participate in the "Thanksgiving Feedback Activity", there are also many media people carrying long guns and short cannons entering the scenic spot today.
"Why are there so many people taking pictures today? Is there anything big happening in the scenic area?"
"Don't you know? Mr. Luo is going to have a clay figurine making competition with a well-known domestic clay figurine master. These people are probably reporting on the competition because of that master's reputation!"
"I have seen Mr. Luo's skills. Mr. Luo will definitely win this time!"
"That's not necessarily true. The other party is the authentic descendant of Clay Figurine Zhang. It is said that he has been making clay figurines for decades."
"Mr. Luo has just graduated from college. Even if he has been pinched since he was born, no one else can do it for long. So, I think Mr. Luo is a little bit mysterious this time."
"It won't be a shame even if Mr. Luo loses to that heirloom master!"
"If there is such excitement, hurry up and take a look!"
The villagers were talking a lot, and their information was the same as that received by Baiyun Mountain. It was still at the stage where Luo Yanning and Zhang Hongtu and Zhang Nuba were going to compete in public to make clay figures.
Except for Yang Mimi and the others who arranged the stage, no one else knew that Zhang Hongtu wanted to "accept a disciple on his father's behalf".
"I heard that Master Zhang has a lot of connections in Tjin, and many media friends from Tjin have come here."
"It's really alas, there's Tjin TV! It's just a small competition, why should it be so grand!"
"This time the ignorant boy from the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area is causing trouble."
"The bigger the problem, the better, so we can get some exciting news!"
“Our channel hasn’t released breaking news for almost a week, so let’s watch this one!”
The various media people and self-media people present were also kept in the dark and did not know the inside story.
In the crowd, Huang Dongsheng looked at the dozens of media around him who were waiting to eat melons, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Nephew Luo Xian, don't blame Uncle Huang for targeting you. If not, blame your grandpa for being too partial to you!"
"I have followed your grandfather and served him for decades. What did I want? I just want some shares in the scenic spot? In the end, I didn't even touch a hair!"
"He keeps saying that he treats my godson as his own son, and what he says is true. Who would have thought that he would leave his son alone and give the scenic spot to you, his grandson?"
"You are his grandson, and I am more of a grandson than a grandson in front of him!"
"If you two don't call me good, you can't even think about it! I will fight with you to the end in this life!"
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment in the scenic spot, Huang Dongsheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already 9:50, and the show would start in another 10 minutes.
Suddenly, seven or eight staff members wearing scenic work clothes walked through the crowd below the stage and onto the stage.
After a few people came on stage, they stepped on the benches and started pasting large characters on the stage curtain.
"Zhang..." Huang Dongsheng frowned slightly when he saw the first word.
Everyone in the audience stretched their necks with curious expressions on their faces.
After seeing the complete sentences posted by several employees on the stage, the audience roared with excitement.
The words "Mr. Zhang Hongtu's acceptance ceremony on behalf of his father" are like a big stone thrown into the lake, causing thousands of waves!
"The ceremony of accepting disciples on behalf of my father? What is the situation..."
Things did not develop in the planned direction. Huang Dongsheng felt a thump in his heart and had a bad feeling.
"What's going on? This is it! Isn't it about a competition? Why was it changed to a ceremony to accept a disciple on behalf of the father?"
"What does it mean to accept a disciple on behalf of my father? Please explain it to me!"
"The person Zhang Hongtu accepted as a disciple was about the same age or skill level as him. He had no one to teach him anymore and wanted to make friends, so he accepted a disciple on his father's behalf."
While everyone was talking, Luo Yanning, several leaders of the scenic area, and Zhang Hongtu and his wife stepped onto the stage.
