Chapter 68: Can Someone Explain What The Feng Shui Room Is?
【Rat Spirit Fruit: this is a special spirit fruit that is very popular with animals. It can attract spiritual and intelligent animals, because the rat spirit fruit can help animals open spiritual intelligence!
Restriction: animals without spirituality and intelligence must not use it. If they do, it will harm their brain or cause sudden death! 】
Chen Han was a little surprised when he saw the note.
During the long-browed Daoist period, the Beast Taming Sect would cultivate and search for many spirit fruits beneficial to spirit beasts. It seemed that this rat spirit fruit was one of them.
As for why it was called the rat spirit fruit, that was unknown. Perhaps like the mouse fruit in Legend of Sword and Fairy, when ripe it carries spiritual energy and is liked by squirrels and similar animals, so they casually picked a name with “rat” in it.
Of course, it was also possible that the game’s plan makers knew about the mouse fruit from Legend of Sword and Fairy and just patted their heads and came up with a rat spirit fruit.
As for why they did not copy it directly, it was to avoid being accused of plagiarism.
But is that not just covering one’s ears while stealing a bell?
However, these things were not important. What mattered was the effect of this rat spirit fruit. It helped animals open spiritual intelligence, which was indeed very beneficial for a beast-taming sect.
With spirit beasts of the same strength, if one is smart and the other is not, the stupid one will definitely be played to death.
In reality there are actually many animals that seem to have become enlightened, such as the bears who like to wear kasayas and rollerblade, and the dogs who like to listen to music.
These animals display two traits: first, intelligence; second, human-like behavior.
So many people say these animals have spirituality.
This is also something that internet users all agree on.
Once a family raises such an animal, it is almost like raising an internet celebrity. Sometimes animals become popular more easily than people.
However, such spiritually communicative animals are relatively rare, and their spirituality is limited. They definitely cannot compare with the spirit beasts in Daoist legends.
Chen Han looked at that rat spirit fruit. If he fed this thing to animals, their spiritual intelligence should not be any worse than those bears that wear kasayas and rollerblade, right?
It was just that this rat spirit fruit was not something any animal could eat. There were restrictions. If animals without spirituality and intelligence ate it, their brains would be harmed, or they would die directly.
This was a bit like some superpower movies, where the plot is about developing the brain to gain abilities. Forced development leaves only one path: the head exploding.
The key point was that rogue cultivators were actually offering up these things.
This made him subconsciously look at Guo Qilong, Deng Yimao and the others, as thoughts were already forming in his mind.
At this time, trucks carrying goods appeared, entered the village, and headed toward the Chen Clan.
It was the convoy from the greenery base delivering bamboo, persimmons, and red plum blossom.
Chen Han temporarily set aside the matter of the rat spirit fruit and walked toward the parking lot.
His uncle was already waiting there, and before long his junior sister arrived with a few waitresses.
Behind them were Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng, who also brought a group of people. In addition to the employees responsible for making Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, there was also a group of middle-aged women, all their wives, called over to help.
After all, there were 300 pots each of bamboo, red plum blossom, and persimmon potted plants.
Even if they were delivered in three batches, this time there were more than 100 pots of each kind, which was not a small amount.
“Uncle, senior brother!” Xiao Yu came up and greeted the two of them.
Uncle Dagou and Chen Shuisheng did the same.
When the delivery trucks arrived, Chen Lin told everyone to help unload together, and said, “Xiao Yu, Dagou, Shuisheng, you know the placement positions. In a while you lead people to arrange them. I will lead people to carry these potted plants over.”
The three nodded.
Uncle Dagou was strongly built. He directly picked up a potted plant in one hand and led people toward the tourist service center.
The middle-aged woman following beside him was also carrying a potted plant. She was his wife, Li Xiaoyun, who had been recruited by Xiao Yu as a waitress at the tourist service center in the past two days.
After their son went to university, it was just him staying behind at home to grow things. His wife would come back to help during busy farming seasons and usually worked in the county. Over the three years of their son being in university, the annual expenses were not small.
Now that the clan had given her a steady job, she naturally came back.
Soon, many potted plants had been moved to the tourist service center. Because the rooms with air conditioners were on the east side, things were moved in from the west side to avoid affecting the tourists who were already staying there.
Uncle Dagou arrived first. The two pots he carried were a persimmon and a red plum blossom. His wife carried bamboo, and he took her into a guest room first.
He had already understood the three positions of the Feng Shui pattern before and had long since found the Zhong Palace positions where the diagonals intersected.
So after entering the room, he first placed the red plum blossom and persimmon potted plants he had carried at the Li Palace and Kun Palace positions.
Then he took the bamboo potted plant from Li Xiaoyun’s hands and said, “From now on, all these potted plants must be placed in fixed positions. You waitresses at the tourist center must regularly check their positions and straighten them if they are crooked.”
“What’s the reasoning behind that?” Li Xiaoyun asked with curiosity.
“This is the Feng Shui pattern,” Uncle Dagou explained directly.
“How did you end up using Feng Shui tricks? It seems that the people who come to play are all young. They do not believe in this stuff.” Li Xiaoyun was a little surprised. She had thought the potted plants were just bought to decorate the rooms, to make them look a bit more aesthetic.
“You will have no choice but to believe it later. Watch closely.” As he spoke, Uncle Dagou very pretentiously placed the bamboo potted plant on the table in the middle.
In that instant, a cool sensation appeared and spread through both of them.
Li Xiaoyun felt it. She looked at the bamboo potted plant in disbelief. “Husband, the room suddenly got cooler. Is this the effect of that Feng Shui pattern?”
“Let me tell you, our Chen Clan used to be amazing. Did you think those legends were fake?” Uncle Dagou said, then moved the potted plant away. The coolness instantly disappeared and heat rushed in.
When he put the bamboo potted plant back on the table, that cool and comfortable feeling appeared once more.
Li Xiaoyun was completely stunned. “This miraculous? Why did we not do this before?”
She had been married into the Chen Clan for more than twenty years, yet she had no idea the Chen Clan still had such miraculous things.
When the elders in her own clan had talked about those mysterious things in the past, she had only treated them as remnants of feudal superstition. She felt that the Chen Clan had just been suppressed as remnants of landlord class.
Moreover, that seemed to be the reality.
The Chen Clan had indeed been suppressed.
But today, all of a sudden, she felt as if her worldview had been overturned.
Uncle Dagou said with emotion, “Because no one knew how to do it before. By the way, be more respectful to Xiao Han from now on. You all must call him the Chen Family Head.”
The title of family head was not popular in modern times. In outsiders’ eyes, people would wonder what era this was, still calling someone family head. It seemed abrupt. After all, reality was different from filming videos.
But at the same time, the title of family head also represented respect.
Li Xiaoyun could also hear that her husband’s meaning was that this Feng Shui pattern had to do with Chen Han, so she subconsciously nodded.
When the two of them came out of the room, they also ran into Xiao Yu and Chen Shuisheng coming out with others from other rooms. The faces of those people were also filled with shock. Clearly, they had all witnessed the miraculous nature of the Feng Shui pattern.
At the same time, they could not help but feel awe for the young family head.
After all, they had been in the Chen Clan for so long, and suddenly they saw him produce something like the Feng Shui pattern. The impact could be imagined.
Over the next period of time, Xiao Yu and the other two led people to put all the moved potted plants into those rooms. They spent half a day renovating all those roughly one hundred rooms.
This way, there would be enough rooms for the tourists who came later. Otherwise, even if that group of thirty-four couples left, there would still be more than a dozen people arriving one after another today, and in the next three days there were 21, 18, and 27 people with booked tickets respectively.
Some of these people would stay for two days, some for three. The rooms with air conditioners would not be enough at all.
Now there was no need to worry about this problem.
“Everyone tidy up these rooms, get daily necessities and such ready, and then arrange for tourists to check in.” Xiao Yu gave instructions directly. When her master had applied for the tourism support fund from the county, they had already done simple repairs on these rooms.
Now there was no need to install air conditioners. A bit of cleaning and arranging would make them usable.
Moreover, when the repairs were just done, they felt these rooms were a bit rough. Looking at them now, they no longer felt rough at all. Instead, they were the traces of time, an antique charm, with a sense of classic atmosphere. They looked very aesthetic and comfortable.
Sure enough, as time passes, a person’s perspective on things will change.
How had she thought they were rough back then?
Thinking this, Xiao Yu took out her mobile phone and logged into the Douyin ticket sales connection backstage.
Previously, the ticket price settings were: 200 per room per night, admission tickets 100 for adults, three children under the legal height free, meals 100 for adults and half price for children.
However, that 200 accommodation was for air-conditioned rooms. The new rooms could not be priced the same as the air-conditioned rooms, right?
Her first instinct was to raise the price. After all, these were Feng Shui rooms, unique to the Chen Clan. They should have some prestige.
In any case, they definitely could not be cheaper than the air-conditioned ones.
She decided to set them at 500 yuan per night to start.
If this price were put online, people might criticize it. After all, a scenic spot in a village with accommodation at that price?
So she adjusted the settings to free choice: tourists could choose air-conditioned rooms or Feng Shui rooms, purely voluntarily. So, in addition to the 200 per night option, there was now a 500 per night Feng Shui room option.
She edited the facilities conditions: shower, daily necessities, bed number, etc., and of course no air conditioner.
After clicking confirm, the interface changed. She planned to experiment for two days first and then adjust based on the situation.
After that, she sent a backstage message to those tourists who had already booked tickets and selected rooms, giving them an extra option.
Almost at the same time, people who had booked tickets for the Chen Clan received the message.
Wang Bing was one of them. He felt he had been such an idiot. At first, after seeing the videos of the Chen Family Head, he thought “Yuanyuan is not stupid” was just something funny, so he told his girlfriend about it to share the fun.
Who knew that his girlfriend would be delighted by those abstract videos of the Chen Family Head and keep watching them nonstop. Then she came across Xiao Yu Za’s promotion videos of the Chen Clan Ancient Architecture and got attracted.
After a round of “are we going or not,” “is it good or not,” “do you love me or not” types of questions, he decisively booked tickets and rushed over, even needing to transfer to a high-speed train to Linhe County.
Just after getting off the high-speed train, Wang Bing suddenly received a system message from the Chen Clan side: “Due to changes in the Chen Clan’s housing conditions, a new Feng Shui Room accommodation option has been added. Tourists who have already booked tickets can now freely choose to change their housing.”
“Feng Shui Room???” Wang Bing was stunned.
He had traveled to so many places. He had stayed in water-view rooms, sea-view rooms, hillside rooms, sky rooms… but he had never stayed in, nor even heard of, a Feng Shui Room.
