When Li Junjun found Ji Yi, Ji Yi was staring at the computer taking notes, and the computer was playing a video, saying: "There are a few key points in elementary school education..."

"Huh?" Li Junjun temporarily forgot what he wanted to say to Ji Yi, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Yi turned the laptop screen to Li Junjun, several windows were open on it, there was a shrunken video window in the upper right corner, a PPT document in the lower left corner, and a web page frozen in the background on the search page.

Li Junjun couldn't help laughing and said: "You have a child in your family who wants you to make up lessons?"

Ji Yi said, "Almost."

Now that the restaurant is open, the goblin cubs have not stopped their classes, but the class location has been moved from behind the restaurant to an unnoticed place deeper in Hongye Village.

Although it is said that the education of cubs does not need to be as systematic and professional as professional schools, as the saying goes, education starts with babies. It is one thing to let little monsters understand the outside world. On the other hand, the basic ability to read and write is also very important. , at least the language must pass the test.

Although there are many online paid or free resources, they are inevitably complicated. Before using them, Ji Yi has to go through them first, or make some adjustments, mergers and deletions, so as to adapt to the varying levels of cubs to the greatest extent.

But Ji Yi didn't graduate from an education major, so he often feels bald, and he is currently capable of doing this because the kids have a low level of education. According to the kids' enthusiasm for learning, Ji Yi feels that it won't be too long. To feel strenuous.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Ji Yi glanced behind Li Junjun, but didn't see her nephew and niece.

Li Junjun was embarrassed, but her uncle insisted on coming over on the video call just now, and asked her to book a room for her.

The room was okay, Li Junjun checked it on her mobile phone, and there was a room that was vacant tomorrow, so she immediately booked it for two days.But other than that, Li Xingning came here with flowers because he wanted something from others. Li Junjun just went around and couldn't find Lan Chu, and he didn't know where he went, so he could only talk to Ji Yi first.

Thinking that Ji Yi, as the boss, has a certain right to speak to the employees, so it's not too bad to make a deal with him.

Li Junjun talked about his uncle coming over, and specifically mentioned that he might ask Lan Chu to help him look at the flowers.

Ji Yi laughed and said, "Your uncle also came to take care of my business, so let me thank you first."

After making a joke, Ji Yi stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll ask him, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Junjun: "Thank you, thank you. I was supposed to come here to play, but I didn't expect to trouble you all the time. My uncle seems to have seen the photos posted by my Moments. My uncle has no other hobbies since he retired from school. He just grows flowers. It's a little crazy."

When Ji Yi heard the keyword "school", her ears twitched, and she asked casually, "Is your uncle a teacher?"

"Yes," Li Junjun said, "he is an old teacher for decades, and he taught me before. I feel psychological pressure when I see him."

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

"As for my uncle, teaching was his only hobby before he retired, but now his passion has shifted. If his health is not as good as before, he probably dreams of going back to the podium every day."

Ji Yi was thoughtful, while Li Junjun trotted to the restaurant. Her nephew and niece were still in the restaurant, and she hadn't had breakfast yet. After the stress, she was even hungrier.

As a flower demon with a semi-social fear attribute, Lan Chu will disappear after completing the daily flower watering inspection, but it is not difficult to find.

Ji Yi went to the flower trough in front of the B&B and squatted down. He could see that there were originally three orchids, but now they had quietly grown into four. The outermost orchid was obviously bigger than the inner three. Soil, Lan Chu returned to her most comfortable environment.

After hearing the whole story, Lan Chu really agreed, and took the opportunity to tell Ji Yi that he would devote himself to this kind of thing in the future, fighting for the best interests of the homestay, and hoped that the boss would do more for him.

When Ji Yi got up, she couldn't help but looked up at Daishan, wondering what kind of geomantic omen Daishan was, how could the monsters raised have such a character that makes the capitalists ecstatic.

I don't know if his brainwaves became concrete, but before Ji Yi walked away completely, a black cat emerged from the side of the fence. Ji Yi's peripheral vision glanced at the black cat, and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

After he hugged the black cat for a while yesterday, the black cat left and didn't come back at night.

Ji Yi thought that Lin Zhao would not appear in front of her for a few days because of another quarrel, but at this time Lin Zhao came again, and seemed to be fine, walking slowly in front of him, although he didn't seem to look at him seriously, but The apparently slowing pace still exposed the black cat's true emotions.

Ji Yi knelt down in front of the black cat, "Hey, good morning Brother Lin."

The black cat raised its head and looked at Ji Yi with its beautiful pupils.

Ji Yi reached out to him, "Shake hands."

The black cat raised its hand and slapped Ji Yi's palm. It wasn't heavy. The pad of flesh brushed against Ji Yi's palm, it was a soft touch, but the black cat didn't show mercy, "Do you think I haven't seen a dog?"

After yesterday, Lin Zhao's attitude has obviously softened. At least in the past, Lin Zhao would never have any active physical contact with Ji Yi except for beating people. Now, Ji Yi has the feeling that maybe he just dared to touch the head of the black cat. , and it doesn't necessarily feel like something will happen.

So maybe even a wild and unruly cat is not without weaknesses?

Even the human employees in the store could see Lin Zhao's transformation.

At noon, when Ji Yi, Wei Hu and Zhao Kangjian were sitting at the same table for dinner, they brought up this topic.

Wei Hu said, "To be honest, in the atmosphere yesterday, I thought your leg would be broken after you went upstairs. I didn't expect you to look like a normal person."

Zhao Kangjian sees it most clearly: "I have never worried about problems. The reason why we can open this store here is not because of the relationship between the boss and that person. The boss often loves to be in that thunder point." Jumping up and down, never had a problem."

Wei Hu sighed: "Or it can be said that fierce cats are afraid of slaves?"

Ji Yi: "...you are very eloquent now." He changed the subject, "By the way, Kang Jian, how is your follow-up on the lease agreement?"

Zhao Kangjian said: "We have already contacted, and it will definitely not affect our start of work before the end of the month."

The lease and start of construction they are talking about at the moment means renting a few old houses in Hongye Village, which will be used to expand the supporting functions of the homestay after renovation.

At present, the accommodation of homestays mainly comes from tourists from Beishan. Although the shortage of homestay rooms is due to the high passenger flow during the summer vacation, it is bound to drop after the end of the summer vacation. However, if the homestay wants to develop forward, we must not stick to it. We still have to focus on it larger development goals.

Zhao Kangjian proposed that the B&B can elevate its positioning, not only as a B&B relying on the passenger flow of Beishan to survive, but also as a small landmark with its own characteristics that can attract tourists.

Of course, it will take hard work and time to realize this goal, and Ji Yi wouldn't have had such a big ambition in the beginning, but the success of the restaurant after its opening gave Ji Yi a lot of encouragement, and made him feel that Zhao Kangjian's idea is worth appreciating. try.

However, it is not easy to make special features, especially after years of development of B&B hotels, almost all the special features are not new.

What are the characteristics of Beishan?The natural scenery is good, the environment is fresh and pleasant, and it is a good place for leisure and vacation.But let alone looking at the whole country, even looking at Nanling City alone, this feature is not very eye-catching.

Pleasant environment is almost standard in many scenic spots. It is mostly useless to use this to attract attention, and it will not arouse much splash if you think about it with your toes.

So when Ji Yi and Zhao Kangjian were thinking about this issue, they returned to the Daishan B&B itself.Just from the perspective of Daishan B&B itself, what characteristics does it have that are incomparable to the outside world?

The answer is obvious. Of course, there are many ghosts and many monsters.

The back kitchen and the front hall waiter in the Daishan restaurant are the best example of the harmonious coexistence of humans and ghosts under the cover of intelligence.The electronic tour guide of Daishan B&B is also one example, but if you think broadly, the B&B can do more than that.

Ghosts, the legendary incarnation of people after death, have been a popular IP from ancient times to the present. They have flourished in various literary works, film and television adaptations, and have accompanied generations of people from folklore and ghost stories. growth.

Every generation has a different attitude towards ghosts, gods and monsters. With the opening up of society and the diversification of ideology and culture, ghosts, gods and monsters that used to be mysterious and frightening are active in people's vision with richer images.Aren't the various haunted house escape games that are very popular among young people just use the creation of a scary environment to attract customers by using people as ghosts?

From this point of view, Ji Yi can't find anyone who is more suitable to open a haunted house than him.Other people's haunted houses need someone to act as a ghost, but he can completely let the ghost play the role.The horror atmosphere of other people’s haunted houses needs to be created because ghosts are played by people, and they have to rely on auxiliary props such as lighting and sound effects to perfect the horror effect. If a real ghost wants to scare people, it can scare people under bright fluorescent lights. .

Invisible ghosts, stylish demons, special effects, and large props are saved. Isn't the cost cut several times?

Zhao Kangjian also felt that this plan was feasible.

Many young people do not like to climb mountains, Beishan is not so attractive to them, but the haunted house is different, maybe it can attract young people.It's a good entertainment and leisure to come over for dinner and play haunted houses on weekends.

Anyway, a haunted house can have many themes. First open one or two themes to see the business effect. If the business effect is good, you can continue to add themes.

Moreover, the rent of the old houses in Hongye Village is very cheap. The villagers moved out and did not think about coming back to live in it. Just like when they rented the restaurant house, everyone was happy that the old house that was idle could receive an unexpected rent. .

This time, Ji Yi asked Zhao Kangjian to rent several old houses, not all of which were prepared for haunted houses, and some of them were prepared for tourists to stay in.

On the one hand, it is to expand the number of guest rooms for future business expansion, and on the other hand, it can also meet the diverse needs of more tourists. For example, some guests who want to stay in an independent space can choose a cottage with a single courtyard.

So Ji Yi and Zhao Kangjian's daily workload is far more than just running the current homestay and restaurant well, and considering the later development, they are naturally very busy.

Fortunately, the restaurant's revenue is good now, even if Ji Yi doesn't have enough money for decoration, Ji Yi still has the confidence to go to the bank to apply for a loan, and she is not as restrained as before.

-

Li Xingning got off the taxi with two pots of orchids in his arms, and before he took out his mobile phone to call the niece who had promised to pick him up, he heard someone calling him: "Uncle!"

Li Xingning turned his head following the sound, and saw Li Junjun beside a donkey.

Li Junjun has been waiting here for Li Xingning for almost 10 minutes. It's not that Li Xingning is late, but because she was afraid that she would be late, so she arrived early.

Li Junjun wiped off his sweat, ran up to her uncle and reached out to help her pick up a pot of orchids, but Li Xingning refused.

Li Xingning asked: "How do we go to the hotel?" In fact, he looked at the orchids that were more wilted than the day before, and wished he could fly to the hotel.

Although Li Junjun was waiting for Li Xingning by the donkey bus, in fact she came here by riding a small donkey from the hotel.After all, this is faster, and Li Junjun knows that her uncle is probably in a hurry.

The little eDonkey returned to the B&B at lightning speed, and Lan Chu was already standing at the door.

Li Xingning took a look at Lan Chu, thinking that this handsome young man was a guest of the B&B. He was so focused on the orchids that he didn't have time to pay attention to others, but Li Xingning noticed the flower trough in front of the B&B at first glance. A few orchids.

Looking at it intuitively like this, it is more impactful than photos and videos. Those orchids are really well grown!

Li Xingning got out of the car with the flower in his arms, and rushed over to put on reading glasses to observe. The more he observed, the more amazing he felt. The orchid didn't show any signs of pruning, but it grew well, and it was so natural that it was amazing.Moreover, the environment in which orchids grow does not seem to be special, which shows how proficient the planters are.

Li Xingning didn't have much hope for his two potted flowers at first, but he couldn't help grasping this last possibility, and now he couldn't help but have more expectations in his heart.

"Let's go, have you made an agreement with the master gardener? Let's go now." Li Xingning said, "Where is the master, I have to ask him carefully."

While he was talking, Lan Chu had already walked over slowly, but he didn't make a sound in the fear.

Li Xingning glanced at him, and looked away, thinking that the other party was just here to look at the flowers, mainly because Lan Chu stood beside him and didn't make eye contact with Li Xingning.

Li Xingning got up and looked at Li Junjun expectantly, but Li Junjun raised his hand and pointed him in the direction, "This is the gardener in the hotel."

Li Xingning turned his head and met Lan Chu's eyes who were also looking over.

The master gardener in Li Xingning's imagination is not to say that he is as old as himself, but at least he should be running forty or fifty, or at least thirty, right?Although the entry threshold for growing flowers and grass is low, it is not an easy task to be proficient in this way.

How could he have imagined that this young man who looked round to twenty would be a master of gardening.

However, Li Xingning reacted quickly. Although the master master became a junior master, his position of asking for advice has not changed, so he immediately stepped forward to say hello to Lan Chu, and showed him the flowers in his hand.

Lan Chu is still quite socially afraid of the human beings in the outside world, but there is no obstacle to simple communication, and if the content of the discussion is orchids, he can be smoother.

The orchids that Li Xingning brought were of the same species as Lan Chu, which added another level of convenience. Although these two pots of orchids were common roots, it did not affect Lan Chu's judgment of their faults.

Lan Chu directly twisted the soil in the flower pot, felt the composition of the soil and the moisture contained in it, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"The soil is not good, and the water is also problematic. If it is kept like this, it will die within a few days."

Seeing his decisive judgment, Li Xingning felt hopeful in his heart, and asked: "Little master, can this be saved?"

Lan Chu nodded.

He removed the orchids from the pots, changed the soil to wait for the mountain, poured some water with his small watering can, and then directly placed the two pots of flowers next to his flower tank, so that Li Xingning didn't have to look at them anymore.

Lan Chu and Li Xingning communicated quite smoothly. He could see that Li Xingning really liked orchids and cared for them. Therefore, Lan Chu was more willing to help Li Xingning once the relationship was important.This is not only to help Li Xingning, but also to help his own kind.

During the conversation between the two, Lan Chu also asked Li Xingning about the situation of growing orchids outside.Li Xingning also found out that Lan Chu was a local child during the chat, and he had never left the mountains. For a while, he felt that Lan Chu was very different from ordinary children of this age.

This kind of indifference and purity coincides with the quality of orchids.

Is it because of Lan Chu's ability to grow orchids so well?

For a plainly dressed, introverted child who had never left the mountains, Li Xingning couldn't help but imagine some complicated situations in his mind.

When he was asking about Hua, he tentatively asked Lan Chu about his family.

Lan Chu answered any questions without hiding anything, "The elders passed away when I was young, but I still have three younger siblings." He said it plainly, because for Lan Chu, the elders are ordinary orchids without spirituality , so he left much earlier than him.The life and death of plants is more ordinary than that of animals, so he doesn't have too many emotional fluctuations, "Now that I work here, I can take care of them."

But in Li Xingning's view, Lan Chu's calmness is the tenacity of a child who has gone through hardships.

He was greatly moved.

"And how old are your siblings?"

How old are you?

This is actually hard to say, Lan Chu thought for a while and said: "Seven or eight years old." The boss said that when talking about age to outsiders, he only talked about the form after transformation. If his younger siblings can change form, they should be seven now. Appears to be eight years old.

"Have you gone to school yet?" The characteristics of Li Xingning's job came into play, and the old teacher was most concerned with education.

go to school?Lan Chu thought, "Go to school."

The little orchid spirits would follow Ji Yi to listen to the class every night when Ji Yi used the projector to play the learning materials, but Lan Chu needed to carry them back and forth.

"Why does it matter?" Li Xingning focused on the key point and asked, "Where did you study?"

Lan Chu said: "It's in the mountains, they learn late, their foundation is not good, and they are not good at school."

This is true, the little orchid spirits entered Ji Yi's miscellaneous education class relatively late compared to other small animal cubs, and they had no foundation at all.

In addition, the essence of plants is no better than that of animals. Animals can also run freely, and they can meet some people, and then it is convenient to learn to transform.Plant essence is very restricted by geographical location.If it wasn't for Lan Chu's early enlightenment of spiritual consciousness, he would have seen some people who entered the mountain before, and he probably wouldn't have transformed himself.

Li Xingning was already full of sympathy for Lan Chu's life experience and worries about his younger siblings' studies.

How important education is. When entering society, whether it is work or life, it will be greatly affected by the level of education.

Li Xingning has taught and educated people all his life, and now he deeply feels a sense of responsibility rushing to his heart.

He gave Lan Chu an idea, "Little master, with your orchid-growing skills, you will never have to worry about food outside. You might as well consider going out to find a job, or I can help you make a match."

Lan Chu was unmoved, and immediately refused, "I want to work for the boss." He looked serious and wanted to repay the favor.

Seeing him say this, Li Xingning felt that the child was sincere and grateful to the owner of the homestay who helped him. He might really not want to go out, so Li Xingning came up with another angle, "Then maybe you sell one or two orchids and sell your brother The younger sisters are sent to schools with better educational resources."

Li Xingning felt that his idea was feasible, but unexpectedly, Lan Chu looked at him with a face full of shock, as if he was some kind of unloving man who sold his sons and daughters.

"Impossible, I don't know how to sell orchids." Lan Chu even looked carefully, as if he was reconsidering Li Xingning's character.

Li Xingning tossed and turned in bed thinking about this for most of the night, and felt that Lan Chu, the little master, really had a unique character, just like a gentleman like Lan, who didn't divert his temperament with poverty, which was rare and admirable.

But the paradox is that the education of Lan Chu's younger siblings cannot be put aside because of this.

Li Xingning thought about it for most of the night, but woke up early the next day according to his biological clock.This is how the elderly sleep, and he didn't lie down for a while, thinking about the orchid in his heart, and got up directly.

It was only 06:30 in the morning, and Li Xingning didn't bother to wash up, so he ran to the flower trough outside the hotel with his slippers on to look at his two potted flowers.

After seeing the appearance of the two potted flowers, Li Xingning couldn't help jumping up and down while wearing slippers, and even clapped his hands twice, "Alive, alive!"

I saw the two pots of orchids next to the flower trough that were dying yesterday, and they were visibly restored to life today. Although they were incomparable to the few orchids in the flower trough, the transformation was huge.

In the fresh air at the foot of the mountain in the early morning, the depression in Li Xingning's heart was swept away. The 5 yuan was saved, and he could go to the park again to show off in front of other little old men, and his beloved flowers had a way to survive.

Li Xingning looked at the rising sun in the sky, and the old man wanted to put his hands on his hips for a while.
