Chapter 156 Construction on Peach Blossom Island
Chapter 156 Construction on Peach Blossom Island
On the rock, Mu Xueqin, dressed in white, was still fast asleep, perhaps because she had stayed up too late stargazing last night.
Chu Chen didn't wake him up, but instead took the blueprints and headed towards the house that the Japanese had built.
Chu Chen spread out the blueprints in front of a large table.
"Uncle Feng, esteemed officials, this is the construction plan I devised last night."
Feng Wu was already used to seeing these kinds of blueprints. After looking at them for a while, he had a plan in mind for implementation.
But the officials were different; they would marvel at the paper, the artist's skill, and the pencil marks.
What a joke! I drew this from a book with a ruler, how can you not be surprised?
After giving them some instructions, he led Feng Wu into the house filled with reinforced concrete.
"Uncle Feng, use it freely, don't be stingy with me."
Feng Wu smiled and nodded. "The whole Mashan Village knows you're a disciple of a deity."
Chuwazi's things were always inexhaustible.
"Don't worry, leave it to your uncle, he'll make sure you're satisfied."
The island's planning was similar to that of the jade mine; the first step was to enclose the areas where people could land.
They built watchtowers, observation platforms, and constructed houses, roads, warehouses, swimming pools, plazas, and other facilities in the middle.
This time, Chu Chen also specially built several hidden bunkers on the wall facing several directions.
They did nothing but install the grenade launcher.
For dealing with ships of this era, the grenade launchers on those armored vehicles are more than enough.
If all else fails, equip it with a machine gun.
This is a true example of overwhelming force; the only problem is that the Japanese won't come.
In a few years, when those children grow up, that will be their greatest strength.
Someone like Chu Yi can completely control a weapon as long as he is given one.
Chu Chen did not intend to provide the soldiers led by Lü Rongdong with firearms for the time being.
The key is to keep the core things in your own hands.
Now that the construction plan has been given to Uncle Feng, I can go and work on the tuna business with peace of mind.
Little did they know, at that very moment in Qingyun City, a young woman knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Miss, what brings you here?" A servant from the city lord's mansion opened the door.
Looking at Si Liyu, who was dressed in fine clothes but looked travel-worn, he asked.
"I'm looking for Uncle Lan, please let me know."
Uncle Lan, although she looks a bit disheveled, her clothes and demeanor clearly indicate that she is a lady from a prominent family.
Upon hearing this, the servant turned and ran inside.
Soon after, Si Liyu was brought inside.
"Niece Si, what brings you here? Where is your father?"
Lan Tianlei recognized Si Liyu at a glance and quickly greeted her.
"I came to Qingyun on some business, so I took the opportunity to visit Uncle Lan and my aunts. My father was too busy to come along."
"Haha, it's good to see you, it's good to see you. It's been so many years, and my niece has grown into a beautiful young woman."
Lan Tianlei ushered Si Liyu inside and called over several maids to take their luggage.
Then he called out the ladies.
The ladies were also very fond of this niece and immediately began to shower her with concern and care.
"Come on, niece, I'll take you to buy perfume. Wait, something's not right, you smell of perfume too. Have you already been to that Fragrance Pavilion?"
The First Madam pulled Si Liyu aside and asked in surprise.
"Is this what Auntie is talking about?" Si Liyu asked, then took out a bottle of perfume from her small bag.
"Wow, it's quite high-end. It must have cost a lot of money. Next time, don't go to buy it by yourself. Go with your aunt. Wenxiang Pavilion offers a 40% discount to aunts."
Upon seeing the perfume, the First Madam launched into a tirade.
“Auntie, this item was a gift from an old friend, not something I bought.”
Si Liyu's main purpose in coming to Qingyun this time was to find Chu Chen.
Since the First Madam and the others said that the perfume shop could give them a discount, they must know the shopkeeper.
Since Chu Chen can casually give away such a rare item, he must be familiar with the shopkeeper. Perhaps he can easily find that Young Master Chu.
"This gift from an old friend—which young master could give such a valuable gift? He must be enamored with my niece, Yu."
After that, the group of ladies officially started gossiping.
He then proceeded to inquire about Si Liyu.
Si Liyu's purpose in coming here was to find Chu Chen, and in addition, this girl was bold, unlike other young ladies who were shy.
So he told her everything.
The ladies thought, "Isn't this perfect timing?"
The eldest niece had taken a liking to her own little brother, so she took on the whole thing herself.
As soon as Lan Tianlei received Si Liyu's letter, he wrote a letter and sent it to Si Wei.
The gist of it is that Si Liyu has safely arrived in Qingyun and is staying at the City Lord's Mansion, so he can rest assured.
Chu Chen, who was far away in Linhai City, had no idea about these things.
Right now, he's on a big ship with three women, fishing for the tuna he's been longing for.
To make sure Chu Chen had fun, Murong Huai specially gathered several skilled fishermen to play with him.
With the old fisherman's guidance, Chu Chen quickly got the hang of it.
And those fishing rods were also cherished by the old fishermen.
After several days, they had caught a lot of fish, but the tuna they had been longing for was still nowhere to be found.
I showed the old fishermen pictures of the tuna, but they all said they had never seen such a fish in all their years of fishing.
That makes sense, this coastal city has been besieged by the Japanese for so many years.
These old fishermen have only ever ventured into shallow waters in recent years, so it's normal that they don't know where they've been to the deep sea.
Chu Chen stored most of the catch from the past few days into that space.
While storing the fish, Chu Chen discovered another advantage of the space.
That's the preservation time of this space; it's as if time has stood still.
The only downside is that the space seems unable to hold any living thing other than oneself; anyone who enters the space will die.
Even if it's dead, it's still better than those frozen goods in that space. Who knows how much technology and ruthless work they've put in there.
Under the guidance of the old fisherman, and with the help of the twenty diving soldiers who worked day and night to catch lobsters and sea urchins for him.
There is an increasing variety of seafood available in shopping malls.
Later, Chu Chen understood that tuna is only found in the deep sea, but people should be content, shouldn't they?
After staying for about ten days, Chu Chen took the three women and drove towards Qingyun City.
The construction of Peach Blossom Fairy Island will take some time, so Chu Chen would like to take advantage of this time to go back to Mashan Village and enjoy a few days of carefree life.
We set off in the morning and arrived in Qingyun City that same evening.
On his way back, Chu Chen noticed that the number of merchants coming and going in Linhai City gradually increased.
Since the Japanese were driven away, the lights in the entire coastal city have become much brighter at night.
The restaurants and brothels gradually became lively again.
Normally, those thugs would sneak into the city to commit crimes, but now that the city is safe, business will surely boom.
Therefore, when they left, Murong Huai led everyone straight to the city gate before stopping.
