This tea merchant guest did not stay at Uncle Ya's place for too long. He seemed to be here to reminisce about old times, but he was also a little tempted.
Feng Yi guessed that if there were any idols that could be worshiped here, the tea merchant would probably not hesitate to pay devout worship here.
However, the tea merchant was aware of current affairs and saw that Uncle Dumb was not happy about this, so he did not mention it too much and quickly changed the topic.
After chatting for a while about the current market situation and complaining about the weather this year, after drinking a pot of tea, the tea merchant left.
Looking at the empty tea, Uncle Dumb curled his lips.
If Feng Yi hadn't come over today, he could have just treated the tea merchant with a bottle of mineral water and given the mountain spring water from Xiaofeng Mountain?
What a fart!
Our friendship in business can only be considered average, just enough to allow us to sit down and chat for a few words, but not that good.
After dealing with a visitor, Uncle Mute turned to Feng Yi and said with his eyes: "What are you here for?"
Feng Yi said: "Nothing else, I just came to see you when I have time today."
Uncle Dumb had a bored look on his face.
Then he typed on his mobile phone: "I'm fine!"
After saying that, he added: "If there is something to eat in the kitchen, go get it yourself!"
Feng Yi was not restrained and went directly to the kitchen and saw two dinner plates and a bamboo basket on the table.
Feng Yi opened the mosquito-proof vegetable cover and looked at the things on it. There were several kinds of cakes on the dinner plate, and bowl cakes in the bamboo basket. They were all cakes made by local people, and the elderly could not bite them.
Effortless.
The food is very fresh, it must have been brought back by Uncle Dumb when he went out in the morning.
Feng Yi took a new dinner plate, took some food separately with bamboo tongs, and came out with the dinner plate, intending to share it with Uncle Mute.
Uncle Ya waved his hand and told Feng Yi to eat by himself. He was different from Feng Yi, he couldn't eat it like Feng Yi!
Uncle Dumb typed on his mobile phone: "I went out to play cards in the morning, and a few card friends gave it to me. I'm not interested in this, so you can just liquidate it!"
Then he made a pot of tea with mountain spring water and put it on the tea table next to Feng Yi, so that Feng Yi could eat and drink here.
Then Uncle Dumb sat on the recliner again, took out his mobile phone and started playing games.
Feng Yi had long been accustomed to Uncle Mute's temperament, and was not embarrassed at all. He was very comfortable holding a plate of pastries, eating them, and strolling in the courtyard.
There were some smells of other people left in the house, and Feng Yi could guess from these smells what had happened here.
Knowing that some clan members were coming to harass him, Feng Yi had been looking for someone to keep an eye on this area, but he was also worried that something might not be noticed.
But judging from the smell here, Uncle Dumb has no shortage of helpers, and people come up to help them with their work from time to time.
Uncle Mute has money in his hands and is willing to pay him easily. The young people who live on Xiaofeng Mountain and near the bottom of the mountain are particularly willing to take over Uncle Mute's work.
Uncle Mute lives here alone in such a big house. He usually goes out to play mahjong and often plays games at home. However, the house is very clean and it can be seen that someone is always taking care of it. Uncle Mute may not do it himself or find someone to take care of it.
This is also a routine operation.
The secret room that Feng Yi once entered is well hidden, so you don't have to worry about outsiders finding anything they shouldn't see when they come in to clean it. After the Feng family's ancestral hall in Yangcheng was moved, people often came and went due to the redecoration and repair work here.
, and it is precisely because Uncle Dumb often finds people to come over and take care of the house, this attitude makes people feel that there are no other secrets here.
While Feng Yi was analyzing the smell information here, he didn't stop eating. Anyway, Uncle Dumb knew his secret and his appetite, so he didn't have to hide it here.
The flower beds in the courtyard are not decorated with any emphasis on sentiment, but they do not allow plants to grow wildly. Part of it is used to grow vegetables, and the row of green onions grows very well.
After finishing the food on the plate, Feng Yi was about to go back to the kitchen to finish the rest and complete the cleaning task that Uncle Ya said. He walked a few steps over there and then returned.
Feng Yi looked at the stone steps on the side of the courtyard.
They are steps made of various stones and concrete.
He didn't pay attention when he came here before, but this time Feng Yi noticed a small detail on the stone steps.
Among the stones piled up into the stone steps, there is an "alien".
Meteorite?
Because the stone is not big and stone steps are very common here, no one will notice anything different about the stone.
Feng Yi also inquired about some meteorite-related information after he bought the meteorite at the auction. Coupled with his ability to distinguish materials, he could tell with a slight difference whether this stone existed long ago or recently.
It fell from the sky a few years ago.
But unlike the meteorite he auctioned, there is no energy material in this meteorite.
Feng Yi looked at Uncle Ya.
The mute uncle kept opening and closing his mouth while playing the game. Feng Yi suspected that if the mute uncle could speak, he would probably scold him all the time.
After another game ended, Uncle Mute raised his eyes and saw Feng Yi standing in the yard.
The look on his face was "Oh, you are here, I almost forgot about you".
Feng Yi: "..."
Seeing that Uncle Dumb was about to enter a new round of the game, Feng Yi quickly asked: "Uncle, is that stone a meteorite?"
After hearing this, Uncle Ya looked at the place where Feng Yi pointed at the steps, recalled it, and nodded.
Then he typed on his mobile phone: "It's a meteorite. It's been many years. It suddenly fell from the sky and hit my chicken coop. I'm not interested in the stone. I originally wanted to hand it over, but it was found to have no scientific research value, so I took it."
Let’s build the steps.”
Uncle Ya asked Feng Yi again: "You like meteorites? Then you can pry them away."
Feng Yi: "I'm just a little interested, not really like it. You'd better leave it here."
Uncle Dumb thought of something, put down his cell phone, signaled to Feng Yi to wait here, and then went into the room.
When he came out after a while, he was holding a palm-sized square box in his hand and threw it to Feng Yi.
As soon as Feng Yi received the box, he noticed that the objects inside were special.
Open the box and there is a bracelet inside.
"Beads made of iron meteorites?"
The raw material of this bracelet is actually not very special, and it does not contain energy substances, but the layer of patina on its surface is too familiar to Feng Yi.
"Auntie, did her old man make it?" Feng Yi said.
Uncle Dumb typed on his mobile phone: "What I did was just ask her to help make a protective layer."
Feng Yi understood. Uncle Ya knew about patina.
Because of this layer of patina, the texture of the meteorite itself becomes more vague, and the original glossy texture loses a bit of the coldness of metal.
Because of the change in color and luster caused by this layer of patina, people familiar with iron meteorites may not be able to recognize the original material of this bracelet at first glance.
Uncle Dumb: "Let's play with it!"
Feng Yi: "Thank you, uncle."
Knowing Uncle Dumb's temper, Feng Yi did not refuse.
I took out the bracelet and looked at it. I was going to put it back in the box and put it away, but I saw Uncle Dumb staring here, seemingly dissatisfied with his behavior.
Feng Yi paused and put the bracelet on his wrist.
Uncle Dumb looked back with satisfaction.
While Feng Yi continued his liquidation operation, Uncle Ya received a message from a poker friend and asked him to go watch a show with him.
When Feng Yi heard this, he didn't stay any longer. He left two pieces of cake for Xiao Jia, helped clear away the teacups and plates, and then said goodbye to his dumb uncle.
Before leaving, Feng Yi asked Uncle Dumb if he wanted a ride. Uncle Dumb refused.
After Feng Yi left, Uncle Ya sat at the tea table, looked at his wrist, and recalled some past events.
The iron meteorite bracelet was indeed made by himself. At that time, there was a trend of meteorite jewelry, so he made some beads and asked someone to coat the surface of these beads with a protective shell, which can weaken the magnetism and block the outside world.
Its influence can also play a certain role in decorative processing.
At that time, he thought this thing was trendy and cool, so he often took it out to show off.
Later, the trend changed and the aesthetics changed. He gradually felt that this thing was really ugly and affected his ability to play mahjong, so he put the bracelet away and threw it in the corner to gather dust.
If Feng Yi hadn't mentioned meteorites, he would have forgotten that he even had a bracelet made of meteorites.
However, it always feels a bit awkward.
He thought it was ugly and never wore it.
He felt the same way now. When he took it out alone, he still felt it was too ugly!
But why does Feng Yi think it looks good when he wears it?
What the hell are you still picking on?
When Feng Yi returned home, the housekeeper took a look at the bracelet on his wrist. He frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with disgust, but when he thought of something, his frown gradually expanded, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
As if it was an ordinary reminder, the housekeeper said: "Are you ready to prepare the clothes and accessories for the event?"
Feng Yi: "I still need to worry about the clothes. I don't need the accessories. There are really many!"
To participate in such a high-profile entertainment event, one must be particular about clothing, and Feng Yi knew that the butler had a better vision than he did, so he could rest assured that he would leave such matters to the butler.
His current income can afford the steward's high vision!
As for the accessories, Feng Yi thought of the box that Xiao Jia took out during the Dragon Boat Festival. Inside was the various men's accessories prepared by the butler, suitable for various occasions. There was no need for the butler to worry about this anymore.
The most important thing is that Feng Yi actually doesn't take this activity that seriously.
Now, Feng Yi is more concerned about the results of his mid-year review.
Although I am confident and feel that the results I submitted are okay, I still feel a little bit uneasy before the results come out.
This subtle anxiety lasted until the day when the results came out.
Feng Yi looked at the [You] that appeared on the page and finally felt relieved.
The evaluation by the Joint Security Bureau does not mean that the more tasks you take on, the higher your final evaluation score will be.
If you take on a lot of tasks but don't get good actual results, your overall score will only be considered average.
Several related expert exchange groups were also talking about the mid-year review today. Feng Yi did not show off his achievements. He knew very well that he could get such high review scores and make dazzling results in every task.
The results are due to cheating. Failure to achieve results is a waste of the ability passed down from our ancestors!
The first thing to do after checking the results——
"Xiao Bing! Prepare more dry food for me when I go out!"
"Are the results out?" the housekeeper came over quickly and asked.
"Well, the mid-year review came out and it was rated [Excellent]!" Feng Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" the housekeeper said, but his face had a look of "that's how it should be."
Then he began to prepare things for Feng Yi, including clothes and daily necessities.
When he learned that Feng Yi was going to the capital to attend this event, the housekeeper had already started preparations.
Unlike the previous missions with the patrol team of the Joint Security Bureau that went to the deep mountains and wild forests, this time we were going to the prosperous capital city, so of course the things we had to bring were different from last time.
There is no need to bring a large kettle like a bucket.
Including the ingredients in the formula of dry food prepared by Xiao Bing, adjustments will also be made accordingly.
When going on a mission to a place far away from the city in the deep mountains and wild forests, the purpose of bringing dry food is to fill your stomach and replenish energy, and the taste is secondary.
When going to a big city, you don't have to worry about running out of food. However, considering Feng Yi's own special reasons, when it is inconvenient to go out frequently, you can bring some dry food as a snack.
Feng Yi thought carefully about his next trip and finally decided to drive there.
It is not his main purpose to go to the capital to participate in activities. He also has to go to the electronic library of the Joint Security Bureau in the capital. He does not know how many days he will have to squat there.
It's more convenient to drive there in your own car.
If it’s just a short trip, you can take the high-speed rail or fly, but this time I’ll drive there by myself.
It took a long time. Feng Yi and Xiao Jia took turns driving on the way, stopping briefly at the service station. It was actually not bad.
Feng Yi was planning his itinerary, and Feng Chi had already arrived early with the people attending the event with him.
The teams of each studio company must prepare marketing plans and not miss this opportunity to show their faces to see how to maximize their profits.
Feng Chi has a bit of a salty mentality this time. He was very restrained during the business some time ago, and he has been restrained in catering for so long. This time he plans to have a big meal after finishing the first stage of the task. Anyway, he is just a soy sauce person at this event.
Basically, they will not appear in front of the camera, or they will appear for a very short time, and they cannot be marketed.
With so many big stars attending, and the big bosses' marketing plans already arranged, it's better for a newbie like him to be a little self-aware.
So I won't restrain myself for the time being.
Feng Chi studied the food there every day, and also discussed with Feng Yi: what to eat today, what to eat tomorrow, which street to eat during the day, and which area to go shopping at night.
Feng Yi was excited and looking forward to it.
Feng Chi sent all the stores with good reputations that he had heard about to Feng Yi. There were too many choices and limited time, so Feng Chi could only discuss with Feng Yi which ones to decide on.
Feng Yi's decision was very simple. He would first select some of the shops with Feng Chi, and then he would raid the rest!
Feng Chi, who arrived early, not only studied the menu every day, but also talked to Feng Yi about the changes there.
"The hotels near the event venue are all fully booked! Except for the organizer's hotel, all other hotels are occupied by star-chasing fans!"
"There is a guy who is about the same level as me who is doing street photography. He put on makeup for a long time and even brought a team to take the exquisite street photography! The hot search was hammered down as soon as I bought it!"
"With so many retweets and likes, who doesn't know who it is? It's really so popular. As for taking the team to take photos on the street and no one knows them... Ahem, brother, when the time comes, you can put on makeup so that others can't recognize it.
Look."
Feng Chi was instantly worried, would he be watched while eating? It would affect the dining experience.
This time he really just wanted to experience the dine-in atmosphere of an internet celebrity store. If he really wanted to market, he would get faster traffic with Fengyi.
He is not famous, but Feng Yi is quite popular.
The cousins discussed how to avoid being recognized when the time comes.
Waiting until the day of departure.
After a satisfying breakfast, Feng Yi and Xiao Jia set off. The car was loaded with luggage and other supplies.
The car had just left the city in the morning, and Feng Yi was still chatting with Feng Chi on his mobile phone about where to eat at the first stop in the capital.
Suddenly I received a call from an expert committee, asking if Feng Yi had time. If he could, he would go to the next province to help find a snake, which was suspected to be a king cobra.
It sounds quite urgent. If it wasn't urgent, I wouldn't have contacted Feng Yi suddenly.
Feng Yi agreed. Anyway, the coordinates given above were near his northward route, so he could just continue northward after catching the snake.
It's not difficult to find snakes. He is familiar with this business, so it won't take long. The king cobra is also an old acquaintance.
Feng Yi told Feng Chi about the emergency situation here.
Feng Chi: [I made a reservation at the restaurant for tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow. We can come anytime you want]
Feng Yi: [No problem]
Gu~
Well, it's afternoon. Late.
There will be an update tonight, but it's quite late.
