After staying in school for a while and catching up in all aspects, Qin Lang mentioned his part-time job again. In fact, if Qin Fei had gone out to socialize during this period, he would not have mentioned it. His original intention was that he didn't want Qin Fei to stay at home and have few friends. However, seeing that Qin Fei always stayed at home in the pharmacy department, he had to mention it again.
Qin Lang said casually, Xi Yuan waited for them to return to the room, then took out the computer and zoomed in on the map of the imperial capital. There were five red dots on it, all of which were their industries. Two of them were Qin Fei's welfare properties, and the places were not large. The surrounding areas were also residential areas, which were not suitable for commercial use. The other three were inherited by Xi Yuan. One of them was also because the land was too small and the surrounding environment was not suitable. The other two were located in the suburbs of the imperial capital. The land was large, with more than 200 acres. It was a small manor with an orchard, a pond, and a large lawn. It was originally a vacation place for Xi Yuan's father and mother, and it had not been changed for so many years, and it was kept as it was. In the imperial capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, the manor is extremely expensive. If it was not passed down from ancestors, there would be no place to buy it. If it is not suitable to be a club, we have to find a way to do something else. After all, there is no other income except fruits and fish, and the maintenance fee of the manor is not enough.
The other location is in the Vaughan area, the site is also not small, about two acres in size, with a commercial building built on it. It has been rented out, and the lease of two floors inside is about to expire.
Compared to this, Xi Yuan is so rich and Qin Fei is so poor.
After all, he is still too young, and the Qin family's wealth is basically still in the hands of his father. Now he only has a sum of pocket money given by his father and mother regularly. As for Xi Yuan, his father and mother unfortunately passed away, and he is the only child, so he inherited all their wealth, which is basically real estate. They don't manage their finances much, and they invest any spare money in land. He also has two mineral planets in his name. Although they are ordinary planets with only common metals, he is indeed a rich man.
"The manor, it has convenient transportation. I was going to make some plans for it, now is the perfect time." Qin Fei pondered for a while: "What do you think if I build a retro manor? There are no other technological products except the kitchen. I remember that before the Zerg tribe developed technology, they relied on taming exotic beasts to travel, right? The most common ones were Pegasus and white eagles."
"Yes, there are also camels, eight-legged beasts, and mountain deer."
Qin Fei found their pictures one by one: "The camel and the eight-legged beast are ugly and do not conform to the aesthetics of male insects. Well, the improved snow cattle are quite good-looking, so I'll add them in. It just so happens that there is a pasture on the manor."
"The famous Pegasus breeds have always been very popular. We have several horse farms at home, so it's not a problem to pick out some good ones. I have a friend whose family raises white eagles. This snow cattle breed is a new one. It was originally a black iron cattle. Let's buy a few from the research institute."
"I want to ask the insects to calculate the best number of plants to grow on that patch of grass in the manor. Is that patch of grass suitable for them?"
"It should be fine. I remember that I also raised a few majestic Pegasus in the beginning. My grandfather liked them."
"That's good. My idea is that some of the mounts inside are not completely tamed. When a customer comes, he will tame them. After that, the right to use them will belong exclusively to him. As long as he appears once within two years, the ownership will not change."
"Then we need to find some trainers to help us, otherwise we might get into trouble."
"Yes, you can fish in that pond. Anything you catch will be considered a private insect. We can also provide some free kitchen utensils for you to use."
…
Ideas were put forward one by one, and Xi Yuan recorded them one by one. After summarizing them, he would take them to Qin Lang to see if they were feasible.
“Is it a membership system?”
"Yes, we invited the first batch of members, but the second batch will have to find their own recommendations..."
"I have several chefs on my side, and each of them has their own specialties."
"Well, we can use the ingredients we brought back. Is there anyone who is good at grilling?"
"have."
…
He put forward all the ideas, and finally eliminated some that he thought were not feasible, and then gave this "plan" to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang went through it quickly and said only one sentence: "As long as you think it's okay, you don't need to ask for my opinion." There is progress only when there are setbacks.
This was considered as permission, Qin Fei and Xi Yuan started to act together. First of all, the decoration had to be changed. This was simple. Nowadays, it was not difficult to build or decorate a house. All you had to do was pick out decorations and exteriors that were full of retro style. The decoration inside could not be modernized, so the big screen had to be removed, and the robots had to be eliminated. Well, the furniture inside had to be made of solid wood, and the decoration had to be decorated with some ancient antiques. Even if they were not antiques, they had to be antique-style boutiques. Since there were no robots inside, they could only hire more waiters, and the messengers' clothes had to be unified and in line with the environment... The two of them divided the work and worked together, and put all their free time here. It took them two months to prepare everything. Qin Fei specially asked Eno to go with him before the opening, wanting him to see what they had prepared for so long and what should be improved.
Aino went with him excitedly.
The manor was surrounded by a wall. Outside the wall was a circle of green bamboos that were just slightly taller than the wall but not much taller. They rustled in the wind.
After entering, you will see a row of "wooden houses" on the left, each of which is only two stories high. On the left, there are more than a dozen towering trees. Their tall crowns can be seen from a distance. The roots of the trees are embraced by the three insects. The interesting thing is that on the first thick branch, there is a small wooden house. These big trees are separated by dozens of meters, and now they are connected by two thick vines. The vines are only as wide as two palms in total, but the height is not too high, only a dozen meters. This distance is enough for you to fall accidentally. In this way, a bridge is built among the dozen tree houses.
Eno stared at the tree house under the tree for a while. The tree house was not big, and there were probably only one or two small rooms inside, but the decoration was full of wildness. Some of them had bird nests next to them, and some were hung with lifelike prey specimens, such as a deer head with a dozen branches, a majestic and domineering lion head, an eagle spreading its wings and ready to fly, and so on.
"Your tree houses look great. I want to stay there for a few nights."
"You'll be the first one to stay when it opens!"
"good."
After looking at the tree house, I looked at the house: "Your house is so small? It won't be able to accommodate a few more insects, right?"
"The upper floors are all accommodation areas, and the underground areas are entertainment areas."
"Oh, it's underground." Eno also guessed it. He was not in a hurry to see what was below, but wanted to understand what was above first.
To the right of the house, across a lawn, is a pond of several acres in size, with a circle of dense willow trees providing shade. Further to the edge, there are some found lake stones lying on the grass and in the shallow water. Some are big, some are small. The small ones can only allow one insect to stand on them, while the big ones can accommodate three or four insects lying horizontally. They are of different shapes, but all have smooth, washed surfaces.
"How deep is the pond?"
"It's deep in the middle and shallower around. Some are two meters deep, and some are more than ten meters deep. There's no specific rule."
"What kind of fish did you release?"
"I'll reveal this when you go fishing. Let's keep it a little mysterious."
“…”
Behind the pond was an orchard, where one could see piles of fruits. Eno picked a green flower fruit directly, and suddenly there was a stream of water on his hand, so he washed it and put it in his mouth.
"Although they are sweet, tender and juicy, there are many of them out there. This orchard is nothing special."
"These are the varieties that we have been planting originally. Most of them have not been improved. The improved ones will have to wait until next year at least. We can just enjoy the freshness and wildness. I also planted some varieties from Aquamarine Star, but the results won't be that fast." He helps them to grow every day and now they are as tall as him. If he works harder, they should be able to open for business in time.
"It's good to have a unique style. The orchard path is so well built, there must be couples who would come here to have a private chat. The orchard is so big that you can't find them once you dive in."
"Yeah, when I'm thirsty, I can get fruit by just reaching out. It's very convenient."
After looking at the new breeds, Eno didn't understand or see anything, so he moved on to the next one. The next one was a row of stables, where tall and majestic Pegasus horses already lived. Eno touched a Pegasus with a pitch-black body and ink-black eyes and couldn't let it go. "I didn't expect there was a purebred Cloud Chaser here. Last time at the horse market, there was a foal that was just three years old and was sold at a sky-high price of tens of millions."
"...the ones who are in charge of the situation, except for Xi Yuan and I, the others can only watch." Would I tell you that I lowered my face to "borrow" from my female father?
"..." Ino put on a look that said: Please look at my sincere and longing eyes.
Qin Fei nodded reluctantly: "If Mephitus agrees, you can give it a try. It took me a lot of effort to subdue him some time ago." Well, with your current strength, it's a bit suspenseful.
He didn't say it out loud, but his eyes said it. Ino: What about our friendship? Although he didn't give up, he still wanted to give it a try. After all, a purebred Cloud Chaser is a high-level beast, and not everyone can ride on his horse. Mephitus is already an adult, level seven.
Ino's hand, which was originally touching Mephistopheles' neck, slowly moved to the back. The originally lazy Mephistopheles suddenly neighed, raised its front hooves high, turned around with disdain, and flicked Ino's face with its long horse tail.
"Puh!" Ino quickly spat out the hair that almost entered his mouth.
Qin Fei: Ahem, don’t laugh, be serious!
Seeing his expression of trying hard not to laugh, Ino couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Mephitus ignored him arrogantly, so he turned his eyes to the other Pegasus. There were many colors of Pegasus, flowery, gray, white, brown... and levels from one to six. After just a glance, he found that the majority were still level four and five. Ino swallowed his saliva. If he was allowed to tame it, wouldn't a level five Pegasus be a bit difficult?
"These Pegasus have already received some training and will not hurt insects on their own initiative. There are trainers nearby, so don't worry."
Hearing that there was a trainer, Ino felt relieved. He had never tamed an alien beast before, so he was a little nervous. He felt relieved to have a professional around.
He did not start taming it right away, but continued to walk down, and saw a series of empty branches. Is this the nest of the white eagle? He looked up and saw a few small dots circling in the sky. Looking down again, he saw a group of snow cattle. There were not many snow cattle, only fifteen, but he unconsciously used the word "group" to describe them because their size was much larger than the original species. They were like a huge white stone, heavy and powerful.
"Don't be fooled by their tall stature. They are actually very gentle and not picky. As long as you are at the same level as them, you can basically subdue them," Qin Fei explained.
"I really can't tell..." The snow bull is about six meters tall, and the two horns on its head are very conspicuous, huge and hard.
After looking at the mounts here, Eno said that he still liked Pegasus more, so he went back and wanted to pick one to try.
