Chapter 123
Mr. Liu praised Liu Changmiao for his improvement.
This is a good thing.
Moreover, Mr. Liu also counted the shares of the hot spring villa and the amusement park as Liu Changmiao's private property, which means that the two brothers of the Liu family separated in advance, which was very rare in ancient times.
So Fu Wenyu said: "Changmiao, if this is the case, you should work harder."
"I think your father's plan should be that you stay in Liuzhou to manage the family business in the future, while your brother will be an official in the capital. You two brothers help each other and take care of each other. Your father will arrange this because he values you."
Liu Changmiao nodded heavily, "I will not let my father down."
Then the two discussed other things.
The hot spring villa and the amusement park have been open for two months. With the increase in guests, there are also many problems. For example, some guests are picky and don't want to squeeze into a hot spring pool with others. For example, some male guests are dissatisfied with the amusement park for a period of time every day to be specially arranged for female guests to use, and they yell that women should not be allowed to play games.
Fu Wenyu's uniform response to the former is "money is easy to talk about", as long as you can afford the price of the whole place, then the matter is not impossible to negotiate, as for the latter, it is a bit difficult.
Fu Wenyu also found the disadvantages of dividing time periods and guests.
When making the plan, in order to save costs, only one amusement park was prepared. It was prepared to provide male and female guests separately in different time periods, mainly considering the separation of men and women. Otherwise, if a male guest is bold enough to offend a female guest who comes to play, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But after actual operation, it was found that female guests were not interested in some projects in the amusement park. In addition, there are relatively few female guests here, so when it is the turn of female guests to use it, the utilization rate of the amusement park is low, resulting in a waste of resources.
For example, there are still people who dare to try the simpler one of the two haunted houses, but there are very few people who dare to try the one with "ghosts", even if Fu Wenyu replaced all the NPCs in it with women. In addition, no one played in the competitive games. They preferred swings, chess, and mobile wooden horses.
Therefore, two months later, Fu Wenyu felt that changes should be made.
For example, build an amusement park suitable for female guests.
In this way, female guests have a place suitable for themselves, and male guests don’t have to avoid them.
Liu Changmiao also agreed with his idea.
"When my eldest sister came with my mother and my grandmother last time, she didn’t go to the amusement park much. They just walked in the garden and soaked in the hot springs."
"Mr. Fu, I think we should build a place specifically for them to play."
Since both of them agreed, Fu Wenyu arranged it.
In this newly built female amusement park, he plans to set up some games suitable for female guests. For example, pitching pots, chess, guessing riddles, etc., which are more popular among women in this era, and the games they like in the amusement park can also be arranged. Because the workload is not large, these should be completed within a month.
After discussing the matter with Liu Changmiao, Fu Wenyu met with several managers under his command.
In addition to Li Yi, the housekeeper, and Li Er, the servant, he now has two helpers. One is in charge of the milk tea shop, and the other is in charge of other matters.
Because milk tea is novel and not expensive, basically everyone who comes here will buy a cup to try it. Some people who are not short of money will even drink several cups a day and drink it as water. So after a month, this milk tea shop has earned Fu Wenyu almost 100 taels of silver.
Fu Wenyu is quite satisfied with this.
In the next few months, he continued to read while paying attention to the operation of the hot spring villa and the amusement park. Of course, he did not fall behind in writing storybooks, and he would start writing when he had inspiration.
So at the end of the year, two new articles were added to the "Collection of Scams", namely "Those who see it have a share" and "The forehead is black".
"Those who see it have a share" tells the story of Zhang Sanlang picking up a purse when he went out for business one time, and opening it to find a ten-tael gold ingot inside. Before he could be happy, someone suddenly appeared and told him that "whoever sees it gets a share". He also found the money bag on the ground, so he should get a share.
A gold ingot of ten taels would be worth one hundred taels if it were exchanged for silver.
Zhang Sanlang didn't want the other party to shout loudly to attract the owner, so he agreed.
But it was difficult to divide the gold into two parts without tools, and the place where they were was a very remote corner, and they couldn't even borrow a pair of scissors. So in the end, under the temptation of the other party, Zhang Sanlang gave his forty taels of silver to the other party, and took the gold ingot, secretly thinking that he had made a profit.
The result was obvious, the gold ingot was fake.
"The Black Eyebrow" is even simpler. When Zhang Sanlang was out doing business, he met a fortune teller by chance. The other party said that his forehead was black and there would be a bloody disaster today.
Zhang Sanlang didn't believe it, and as a result, he was suddenly hit by someone while walking on the road, and his head hit the steps and bled. At this time, the fortune teller came out and said, "I told you that you would have a bloody disaster. Do you believe it now?"
In the end, the fortune teller used his eloquence to make Zhang Sanlang buy a talisman to exorcise evil spirits. But the truth is that the fortune teller and the person who hit him were in the same group.
Zhang Sanlang was deceived again.
These two stories are not long. After writing them, Fu Wenyu gave them to the villagers to rehearse.
Then after the New Year, when he had nothing to do, Fu Wenyu began to write the fourth story in the "Dream Man" series, "The Night of the Dream Man's Resurrection".
After dinner, Zhao Le went to bed early.
Then he heard a cry.
"Wuwuwu..."
"Wuwuwu Dad, why did you die like this..."
"Dad, you died so miserably!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Is this... already in the dream world?
Because after completing the mission last time, Zhao Le learned from the immortal that his next mission was related to ghosts, so when he realized that he had entered the dream world again, he opened his eyes instantly.
Zhao Le did not forget that during his first mission, another newcomer, Du Runzhi, was eaten by a fox demon in his sleep. So since then, he has understood that in such a mission involving ghosts, it is very important to stay awake.
There are two people who hold the same idea as Zhao Le, so the three of them opened their eyes almost in order, and then subconsciously held their weapons in their hands, looking around, and observing the movements around them.
As for the three newcomers, some were panicked, and some were secretly alert.
"Where is this?"
"You, who are you?! What do you want to do? Let me tell you, my sons are butchers. If you dare to bully me, they will come and kill you!"
"Are you bandits? Wow, you all have weapons. Can I touch them?"
Zhao Le hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the other two had no intention of speaking, he said: "This is a dream world. Were you sleeping before..."
As he explained, he looked at the three newcomers who appeared this time.
One was a woman in her thirties, with fear and nervousness on her face. One was a young man in his twenties, looking around curiously, and even wanted to reach out and touch Zhao Le's inlaid gold long stick. The remaining one, except for the first sentence "This is where", has not spoken a word, and now he is secretly looking around with the cover of the other two.
Suddenly, Zhao Le stopped talking and opened his eyes wide.
Because the third one turned out to be an acquaintance, that look was clearly Du Runzhi who had died long ago!
