Chapter 46



This is the first time that Fengdu Amusement Park has released an event preview, and everyone feels that the director attaches great importance to this event.

Gu Wang was also helpless. He actually attached great importance to every event, but there was nothing he could do except make a preview this time.

Although their amusement park closes at 9pm every night, the attractions are still the same as those during the day and are not limited to night time. Tourists have already played during the day, so there are very few people after 8pm.

The One Hundred Demons Night Parade doesn't start until 10 o'clock, so he can't just close the door at dark and let the tourists stay until the evening.

The fans were unaware of Gu Wang’s dilemma, but were very excited about the new event. They reposted the Weibo post one after another, and soon the entire internet was filled with news about Fengdu’s new event.

I'm not a fan, but people who know Fengdu are also paying attention, wanting to see what else this quirky amusement park can come up with.

Including but not limited to Mr. Li’s group of bigwigs, the Pei family and the Meng family, relevant departments that intend to provide support policies for amusement parks... and other amusement parks that unilaterally regard Fengdu as a competitor.

It can be said that when Gu Wang was unaware, his preview message stirred up a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, there are still several days until Saturday, so these people have time to adjust their mood.

The next day, Gu Wang got up early and went out to pick up the breakfast takeaway he had ordered.

The delivery guy at the door has already left. It takes him several minutes to walk out of the garden, and I can't keep him waiting.

The young man left him a message saying that the takeaway was placed on the stone platform at the door.

Gu Wang came out and saw that there was no takeaway on the stone platform, only a fat cat.

The three-legged orange pig had a face like a farmer's, and its body was as round as an egg. Ever since its eggs were picked, it had a look of world-weariness.

The man and the cat looked at each other, and Gu Wang asked the cat, "Have you seen my takeout?"

Gu Wang hesitated for a moment, decided to believe it, and turned his gaze to look elsewhere.

However, after searching everywhere nearby, I still couldn't find it. After calling the delivery guy to confirm -

Gu Wang walked back and looked at it with admiration: "You are really good. You are still calm even though the owner has been found."

He reached out and picked up the orange pig. There was a flattened pizza box underneath, and the big orange pig was lying upright on it, with no edge exposed at all.

Gu Wang had no choice but to walk inside with the pizza box, and found that all the ghosts and gods in the garden had stood up.

The ghosts and gods gathered in front of the embroidery building, making it quite lively. There were quite a few people, even the more homely gods like Fusangshen came out.

Gu Wang asked him: "What are you doing?"

Fusangshen turned around, holding two buns in his hands, and ate them with big mouthfuls. "Chef Guo is making breakfast for us. Principal, have you eaten yet?"

"Oh, yes!" Gu Wang said that he seemed to have forgotten something, the restaurant was not open yet!

Although the restaurant can be run with the help of Jiaolong Illusion, raw materials and the like still need to be purchased. He doesn't understand these things and has no way to get them, so he still has to ask someone.

Over there, Guo An and Madam Liao set up a big pot in the open space and were happily making breakfast for the ghosts.

The couple hid their dying faces, and except for their pale faces, they looked no different from the vendors setting up stalls outside.

His cooking skills were also very good. The ghost goddess ate so much that her belly was swollen, and she kept saying that she would protect Guo An in the future.

The Night Wanderer was still sitting upstairs in the toilet, with paper horses running circles above his head.

Madam Liao tremblingly handed him a bucket of rice half a man's height. He picked it up carefully with two fingers and threw the bucket and rice into his mouth.

Gu Wang watched for a while and did not disturb their colleagues' dinner.

In the afternoon, the Special Bureau contacted Gu Wang again. In addition to telling him that Gu Hong and others would come the day after tomorrow, they also talked about Guo An. After the mission in Tiancui Mountain was completed, although Guo An was taken away by Gu Wang, in order to understand what happened, the staff specially asked someone to check the history of Baiweilou.

They dug out the records before and after Guo An's death from the pile of old papers, sorted them out and sent them to Gu Wang:

When Guo An was alive, the shopkeepers were the Wang father and son. The old shopkeeper was called Wang Fushan, and the young shopkeeper was his son Wang Ting.

Wang Fushan was an honest and kind person. When he was in office, Baiweilou was always the largest restaurant in Jiguang Province, and many old customers had been eating here for their entire lives.

It’s a pity that his son was not well educated. Wang Ting is indeed a greedy and short-sighted villain.

After Wang Ting succeeded as the manager of Baiweilou, he not only drove away the disobedient Guo An, but also allowed his cronies to embezzle the money purchased by the store and raised the price of meals.

The quality of the food has declined, but the price has increased. Diners are not fools, so naturally they are unwilling to come.

In order to expand the customer base, Wang Ting actually came up with a crooked idea. He cooperated with the brothels on the street at that time and allowed prostitutes to receive customers in his shop, turning a century-old restaurant into a mess.

After a few years of this, decent people were even less willing to come here, and instead, playboys came here every day.

Not long after, a few playboys got drunk and started fighting. Wang Ting stepped forward to break up the fight, but somehow he got one of his legs broken.

Originally, this dude had a strong family background, so the matter was just forgotten. However, the newly appointed prefect was determined to be an honest official and made this case an example.

After a careful investigation, it was discovered that not only the criminals were not good people, but even the victims were not good people either - the prefect was too capable and actually found out everything Wang Ting had done, including the murder of Guo An.

Afterwards, the dandy who assaulted the man was sentenced to ten years in prison, Wang Ting and the groom were sentenced to immediate execution, and the rest of the Wang family was exiled. Baiweilou was repossessed by its owner and handed over to the next owner, who has stood firm for hundreds of years, until today.

Gu Wang looked at the information coming over and suddenly remembered that when he brought Hong Jiang back, he took a few photos, saying that he wanted to help Hong Jiang find his mother.

Although Hong Jiang had now become attached to Chi Jing, Gu Wang had never forgotten him. This time, when the opportunity arose, Gu Wang sent the photo and asked if he could help check it out.

The staff member agreed immediately and said, "I heard that Master Gu is going to open a restaurant in the garden? The director asked me to tell you that our special bureau has a special area for growing fruits and vegetables. In recent years, several new plant repairmen have joined, and the vegetables they grow are increasing. The bureau can't eat them all."

"If you need it, we can give you some of it as a token of our gratitude for your contribution to the bureau."

He was afraid that Gu Wang wouldn't want it, so he added, "The food in our bureau is very good. Although it can't improve your cultivation, it can strengthen the body and improve immunity for ordinary people. The taste is incomparable to the vegetables and fruits on the market!"

Gu Wang was a little embarrassed and said that he hadn't done anything and didn't need to take it to heart. Seeing that the staff member insisted, he agreed.

He then went to find Guo An and Madam Liao and showed them the message, "Wang Ting and the groom were finally brought to justice. You can rest assured now."

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was not happy. "The old shopkeeper has done me a favor. If the young shopkeeper wants me to leave, just say so. Why kill me so completely?"

Gu Wang said, "He's unwilling to give up his wealth, so he assumes you won't either. He's just judging others by his own experience." Without further ado, he asked, "Have you decided where to open your shop? Why not create the scene today?"

When Guo An was mentioned, he became excited and said, "I've thought about it, it's here!"

He pointed and found a place not far from the entrance. On the left was the embroidery building, and on the right was a bench in the rest area. It was the busiest spot in the entire amusement park.

Gu Wang also thought this place was nice, so he took out the snake pill and built a restaurant scene according to Guo An's idea.

Thick white smoke dissipated, and four wooden walls rose from the ground. They rose to the height of two stories, and a clanging sound echoed from within the walls, and every detail was reproduced one by one.

The house has flying eaves and continuous green tiles, and red lanterns are hung under the eaves.

The door was open, and today's menu was posted on the vermilion pillars. The wooden tables and chairs were somewhat worn, but kept very clean.

The lobby downstairs and the private rooms upstairs are neatly arranged without appearing cramped.

The kitchen is not visible from the front door, but the aroma of food is already wafting through the air.

This doesn't look like a newly built store, but rather an old store that has been open for more than ten years.

Gu Wang understood immediately, "Isn't this the Baiweilou from hundreds of years ago?"

Guo An scratched his head. "Yes, I was an apprentice at Baiweilou when I was a teenager. When you asked me to imagine my own restaurant, the only thing I could think of was Baiweilou."

Gu Wang naturally didn't mind these things and only told him to make good preparations for opening the store.

Two days later, the part-time staff from the Special Bureau finally arrived, led by Gu Hong. Also arriving was a plant cultivator who was in charge of delivering the vegetables.

As soon as they met, Gu Wang recognized him. This was the baby-faced boy from Gu Hong's team.

Gu Hong had recovered well, his laughter full of energy, and he clapped his teammates on the back, making them claps loudly. "Master Gu, my team member is a plant cultivator, and he's very good at growing vegetables. Just tell him what vegetables you need, and he'll grow them for you even if he doesn't have any!"

The baby-faced boy turned pale and put on a strong smile.

Gu Wang didn't know what was good and just let Guo An tell him. At this time, he also realized the advantage of having all the people in his family. If he ordered food from ordinary people, Guo An would not be able to come forward and he would have to act as a middleman to pass on the message.

For the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, Gu Hong and his people still need to receive some training, but the food from the restaurant was delivered very quickly.

So, three days before Saturday, the restaurant quietly opened.

Gu Wangben didn't expect the restaurant to bring in much traffic. His original intention was to provide tourists with a place to eat, so he didn't advertise it extensively.

However, things went awry again.

The cause was still Mr. Li.

The old man didn't leave after coming to Fengdu. Although he didn't say anything to others, people who knew about it were inevitably curious, especially his old friends.

When Mr. Li was young, he was open-minded and popular, so he had a lot of old friends from all walks of life.

He had an old friend named Qi Rushan, who happened to be invited to Fengdu these days. This old man was also quite remarkable, a master of traditional Chinese painting, a leading figure of the highest order.

The two were old acquaintances, so Mr. Li didn't make much preparation. He just took Mr. Qi to Fengdu and went straight to the botanical garden.

On the way, Mr. Qi said, "Is the amusement park really that great? Why don't I believe it? You're not deliberately lying to me, are you? This isn't the first time you've done something like this."

Old Master Li blew his beard and glared, "I already said I didn't mean it last time, why are you holding such a grudge, old man! This time in this botanical garden, if you say it's not good, I'm the one!"

Mr. Qi snorted, "I think you are the one!"

The two old men were bickering, and the two guards looked at each other helplessly from behind.

The botanical garden scene is the quietest place in the entire amusement park, but as a master of Chinese painting, Mr. Qi can naturally see the value of this place.

It’s not that the plants are so precious, but the vitality here. There is a pure and natural feeling of vitality here.

He didn't know that this was because of the little flower soul, he just thought that the people in the amusement park were caring and took good care of the flowers.

However, just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he met Mr. Li's smug smile and immediately swallowed the praise.

The old man tried to find fault, but couldn't find any, so he just hummed and said, "It's just so-so. The flowers are okay, but everything else is just so-so."

Old Master Li's eyes widened. "What do you mean the flowers are okay? Can't you see how beautiful these flowers are? Look at this star-moon orchid, look at this fox heart grass! You... humph, I knew you were a wild boar who couldn't stomach fine bran!"

Well, only Mr. Li has the ability to call a master of Chinese painting a wild boar.

The two old men started arguing with each other, trying their best to make the other party give in.

Mr. Li took Mr. Qi to visit the amusement park, but he didn't hear a single good word!

Mr. Qi was so proud, thinking to himself, "You don't know what I'm thinking, I just won't praise you! Hey, it's just for fun!"

Finally, Mr. Li gritted his teeth and used his trump card, saying firmly: "I'll take you to the toilet!"

Mr. Qi was completely confused. “I don’t want to go to the toilet… Hey, don’t pull me!”

Then he was dragged to the toilet building and pushed into a cubicle.

After coming out...

Mr. Qi: Questioning life!

Now it was Mr. Li's turn to be proud. "Well, you have nothing to say this time, right? Do you want to stay here for two days?"

They are all old men and they all know each other. He firmly believes that no old man can escape the temptation of Fengdu Toilet Building!

Qi Lao's face was filled with surprise and doubt. He said slowly, "Old Li, tell me the truth. Did you drug me?"

Mr. Li glared at him, "How can I give you this kind of medicine?"

That’s true... Old Qi stiffened his neck and snorted twice, "This amusement park... is okay." Especially the toilets, they are exceptionally good!

Mr. Li was not very satisfied with this "OK", but knowing that Lao Qi had a stubborn personality, it was considered good enough to let him say "OK".

It was already noon, time for lunch, and the two guards said that a new restaurant had opened in Fengdu.

Mr. Li had a strange sense of trust in Fengdu, and immediately pulled Mr. Qi to try it.

When Mr. Qi saw the restaurant, he stroked his beard and said, "Not bad, quite old-fashioned."

Isn’t that ancient? It’s the same as it was hundreds of years ago.

After entering the room, Mr. Qi did not rush to order food, but instead looked around with his hands behind his back.

It's not like he hasn't been to this kind of antique-style building before, but they were all just for show. They looked ancient on the surface, but the details were disappointing.

But here, no matter how Mr. Ren Qi looked at it, he could see it was a seamless whole, with no sense of disobedience. Forget about the shoddy workmanship; even with his dim eyes straining, he couldn't spot a single electrical outlet!

He didn't know that Guo An had only been exposed to modern civilization for a few days, and he couldn't even design a socket if you asked him to do so.

Old Qi became more and more satisfied with this place. If he was not afraid that Old Li would be proud, he would have praised it a lot.

Mr. Li told him to stop pretending and to sit down and eat.

The restaurant was currently run by Guo An and his wife, with Guo An cooking inside and Madam Liao greeting guests outside. She was quiet, taking the menu the couple had ordered and then bringing the dishes up shortly afterwards.

The first few dishes were cold, nothing special at first. But when it came to the last one, Mr. Qi suddenly stood up, bent over the dish, and said, "This, this, this... this!"

"What's wrong?" Old Li was startled and looked at the dish. It was a slightly flat white plate with a landscape painting arranged on it with finely chopped green radish. An outsider could not see the artistic conception of the painting, but he knew that the painting was really beautiful and integrated.

Old Master Qi was very excited, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the dish, "Who...who made this?"

Madam Liao startled him and whispered, "It was made by the chef... Don't worry, this dish is free. Today is the first day of business, and all diners will receive a free dish."

Mr. Qi slapped his thigh and said, "No money?"

Madam Liao nodded quickly.

Mr. Qi: "How can you not take the money! Take it! I won't agree if you don't take one or eight hundred thousand! I don't agree!"

Seeing that his face was red with excitement, Mr. Li hurried to persuade him and asked what was so strange about the painting.

Mr. Qi had no time to explain to him. He hurriedly took out his old phone and started contacting people: his students, friends, and old masters of Chinese painting...

His phone call stirred up the entire Chinese painting world!

Why? Because the landscape painting Guo An displayed was no ordinary landscape painting, but rather "A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains," one of the "Three Treasures of Landscape."

"A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains" is very important in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting. It pioneered the ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting of "painting mountains, painting water, and painting the heart". Because of its broad brushstrokes and open artistic conception, no one has ever been able to imitate it.

Unfortunately, half of "A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains" was burned during the war hundreds of years ago, and only the other half remained for future generations.

Many masters of Chinese painting have always wished to see the full picture of "A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains".

But they all knew that this was impossible.

But today, in this small amusement park, in this newly opened restaurant, on this ordinary white plate, Mr. Qi saw the full picture of "A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains"!

With his level of skill, he could naturally tell whether this was the original appearance of the painting or something added later... But it was precisely because he could tell that he was so excited...

Although this painting is made of shredded radish, it is integrated and the artistic conception is harmonious. It is obviously the original appearance!

He dialed the numbers one by one and heard the same old responses from the other end:

"What? Old Qi, wait for me! You must let me see!"

"Teacher, are you serious? I'm coming right over!"

"Mr. Qi, please tell me the address. We will be there soon!"

Masters of Chinese painting continued to rush to Yaoguang City, which naturally attracted the attention of the media. How could they miss such big news? Of course they had to keep up.

So, a few hours after dinner time, the restaurant was packed.

Gu Wang naturally got the news too. Seeing that he was still tasting a plate of shredded radish, he found Guo An and asked him, "How did you hear about "A Thousand Miles of Green Mountains"?

Guo An rubbed his hands nervously, "I, I don't know what picture it is. This picture was drawn by a poor scholar in Baiweilou. I thought it was a good picture, so I wrote it down and made it into a platter."

Gu Wang: "..." Ah, when he came over, he did hear several Chinese painters saying that the author of this painting was from Jiguang Province.

Guo An said anxiously, "Director, did I do something wrong and cause you trouble?"

Gu Wang was in a daze for a moment, "No, I just feel that our amusement park is going to be a hot topic again..."

Master Gu, worthy of his prophetic powers, was absolutely right. That evening, during dinner, the amusement park was once again trending: #Surprise! A newly opened restaurant discovered the entirety of an ancient painting? #

You know what, the ranking is quite high, surpassing several entries bought by others.

Netizens are baffled by this trending search, but it feels strangely familiar...

They clicked in with trembling hands...

"Sure enough, when I saw this irrelevant trending search name, I knew it was Fengdu."

"Fengdu Restaurant opened, and I'm not convinced it's the doghouse that's trending!"

"Isn't it reasonable for a chef like me to be able to paint ancient paintings?"

Netizens: Hengli Li... Bullshit! You Fengdu people are really poisonous!

This kind of hot search is different from those purely marketing hot searches. Netizens also enjoy watching it and are happy to play with the memes.

But those who are the victims of "bought hot searches" or "pure marketing hot searches" are unhappy, especially when they have a conflict of interest with Fengdu.

In the office of Balk Amusement Park, Jiguang Province.

A man in a suit looked unhappy and asked, "How many people were suppressed on the trending searches?"

The assistant quickly replied, "We only pressed one noun. We only have an entry for Fengdu Amusement Park."

The man in the suit slammed his hand on the table. "Fengdu again! They must have done this on purpose!"

Balke Amusement Park is the newly opened amusement park in Jiguang Province that Meng Jiahe mentioned before.

This amusement park is a global chain, claiming to be the second largest in the world. In reality, it was established only a short time ago, just over twenty years ago.

Moreover, the entire group has a very bad atmosphere. They will do anything to compete and have no bottom line. This is why they have climbed to a position close to the world's leading position in just twenty years.

Balk Amusement Park entered the Chinese market this year. Their marketing plan had been prepared long ago and had been implemented for several months.

And this time, it is not the first time that Fengdu has surpassed them in the hot searches.

The man in the suit felt that he had given Fengdu enough face. The marketing of this amusement park was even more excessive than theirs, and it always outshined them. They no longer had to endure it.

He said gloomily, "Is there an evening event in Fengdu this Saturday?"

Assistant: "Yes, the time is 22:00-00:00 at night."

The man in the suit laughed. "Isn't the popular young actor Zhan Xiangchen going to be our spokesperson? Contact his team and tell him that as long as he comes here to hold a concert on Saturday night, the spokesperson position will be easy to negotiate."

The assistant hesitated. "But even if Zhan Xiangchen agrees, with his traffic, it's probably hard to compete with Fengdu. Besides, every time Fengdu launches a new event, tourists go crazy."

Man in suit: "Of course it won't work for a normal concert, but what if something happens to Zhan Xiangchen at the concert?"

The best thing is that Balke had done his best to make all the arrangements, and Zhan Xiangchen just made trouble on his own... It's perfect.

The assistant took the order and left.

So, just as netizens were joining in the meme, Balke's cold eyes were fixed on Fengdu, and Fengdu knew nothing, it was Saturday.

Tonight, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons will begin!

The author has something to say:

A new event will start tomorrow! Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution between 2022-06-15 21:10:06 and 2022-06-16 20:38:36——

Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
