A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 249
"Catherine is so beautiful..."

After seeing off the guests, Lou Xiao'e said with emotion.

Lou Xiu also said: "And he is very kind."

Seeing that Erlou kept looking at him, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know what the Holy Mother is?"

Er Lou shook his head, and Li Yuan smiled and said: "She is the kind of Catherine who loves the world and benevolent to all people."

Lou Xiu was very keen: "Qin Daxue is like this too?"

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "That's a completely different person. After Qin Daxue regained power, she had a lot of lives in her hands. She would kill the bastards who harmed the people and disrupted order without blinking an eye.

In the case of Catherine, if you hurt her, she will try to influence you with love. "

Lou Xiao'e hesitated and said: "Isn't this... very good?"

Li Yuandao: "The world of fairy tales is better, but this is a real world. Let alone history, just the crappy things Europe is doing in Africa now will make people think her idea is too ridiculous.

If she really wanted to save the common people, she should ignite the flames of revolution and first break into Buckingham Palace in London and seize the bird's seat.

I have heard a very interesting saying: In troubled times, kill the Holy Mother first.

Of course, this is true for others, but for us, Catherine is an angel! "

Both Lou raised their eyebrows: "←←"

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "If she comes again in the next two days, you should talk to her more about the sufferings of the people in the mainland. There is no need to exaggerate. The people in the mainland are now the most pitiful people in the world. They don't have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm. He said that there is still a shortage of medical treatment and medicine. Our pharmaceutical factory is not to do big business, but to help the people in the mainland.

This person will be the perfect equipment purchasing manager for our pharmaceutical factory. If she is willing, she can even help buy many advanced instruments that are difficult for even the Kadoorie family to purchase.

It is a good thing that the Holy Mother is sent to us from heaven! "

Lou Xiao'e said sadly: "I'm afraid that the Holy Mother will eventually become Tangyuan and Xiaosi's mother!"

Lou Xiu chuckled, and Li Yuan laughed, then shook his head and said: "There will be no foreign blood in our family's blood, let alone Jews. Of course, this sentence can only be said at home, not outside. explain."

Lou Xiu wondered: "Why? Old Roland is also a Jew. He looks like a good old man..."

Li Yuandao: "There are very few people like him, not to mention among the Jews, even among the Chinese. He has huge wealth, power and energy, but always maintains calmness and bottom line. In the most profitable era of the film, the Kadoorie family Instead of touching that thing, we invested our money in electricity, an energy source that was inconspicuous at the time. At that time, few people were willing to use electricity. The investment was large and the returns were low. Moreover, it was a power supply patent for Kowloon and the New Territories, which were relatively remote at the time.

After decades of hard work and accumulation, it finally gained momentum. When the Japs came, Old Roland blew up the power plant with his own hands.

How many people can have this kind of courage and attitude? "

If it weren't for this stance, how could it be possible for a Jewish family to hold a quarter of the shares in the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant?
Nuclear power plant! !
You know, Li Huanggua still holds Hong Kong Electric in his hands and supplies power to the prosperous Hong Kong Island. Lao Li is still Chinese and has very good relations with the upper levels, but he has not been able to occupy a single share in Daya Bay.

It's just that the Kadoorie family is used to keeping a low profile and never shows off their prominence, so their reputation is far less than that of Cucumber.

Lou Xiu hesitated and said: "Yuanzi, using a pure and kind person like Catherine, would you feel... a little uneasy?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "How could it be possible? I asked her to help purchase advanced equipment and instruments, and it was not to harm people. I was promoting the development of China's medical industry. Most of the hundreds of millions of people in the mainland are in need of medical care. In the state of medicine, especially the lack of good medicine. Doesn’t this resonate with her thoughts of benevolence to the world?
Don't look at the fact that we live in a big house now, have no worries about food and clothing, and look like we have a successful career.But in the real field of modern medicine, we are almost like beggars.

The money that those giant pharmaceutical companies invest in research and development of new drugs every year is not enough even if we work step by step for a lifetime.

Moreover, even if we have money, others are unwilling to sell us advanced instruments.They want to lock the patented technology within a certain range and use it to harvest the world's money.

Therefore, we can only think of a way and use all available means to tear apart the blocking film and break out a piece of heaven and earth! "

Lou Xiaoe: "..."

Lou Xiu: "..."

……

"Really? It's unimaginable. I have read "Marco Polo's Travels", and the book describes the gold and silver in China at length. It seems that every common people's family has gold and silver, and China has hundreds of millions of people. There are more in the whole of Europe. Although I knew that there would be wars and many bad things happened later, I never thought that it would be so miserable..."

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Erlou invited the old Roland family and Catherine to his home.

Because their stomachs were too big for them to move around, Li Yuan and his two children sent a carload of holiday gifts over to the Lou family.

When I came back, I heard Betty relaying Catherine's words with a look of disbelief on her face, her expressions imitated perfectly.

Seeing Li Yuan return, Catherine stood up and bowed to him. Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Ping Sheng Ping Shen, Catherine, if you have any grievances, please report them to the court."

Er Lou rolled his eyes, Betty translated reluctantly, just giggling, but Old Roland laughed and translated accurately.

Catherine pursed her lips and smiled: "Li, did you build such a large pharmaceutical factory to help the poor in China?"

Li Yuanfeng smiled lightly and said: "Of course. If I just want to make money, it would be enough to treat rich people like old Luo Lan. The Chinese medicine I studied is very good at maintaining health and can help people live a long, long life. Those Rich and powerful old guys are most afraid of death and are willing to spend a huge price to live longer, right?

If I just want to make money and let my family live like a rich man, I only need to serve a few rich people, and the income will be enough.

However, I cannot watch helplessly as hundreds of millions of compatriots in mainland China cannot even take the most basic cold medicine.

That's why I built the pharmaceutical factory with the support of old Roland.

Although my personal power is very small, I am still willing to give my heart to make this world a better place. "

Li Yuan's English was mute in his previous life. He could barely listen and write, but his spoken English was basically zero.

With my strong learning ability in this life, I have learned a lot in the past year since I came to Hong Kong Island. It sounds okay, but it is slower to say it. After all, there is no chance to practice...

But what he really wanted to say was enough, but Erlou didn't understand English, so he couldn't speak and still spoke in Chinese.

Under Betty's description, Catherine was moved again...

The light blooming in the beautiful eyes made Er Lou smell the danger.

Catherine said seriously: "Li, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'd better not trouble you anymore. Old Roland is willing to help me..."

Old Roland chuckled and said: "Li, I'm afraid you don't know Catherine's energy. She has a very good relationship with the Queen. At most, I can help you buy some obsolete equipment from second-hand pharmaceutical factories, but Catherine can help you introduce the most advanced equipment." pharmaceutical production line.”

The ancestors of the Kadoorie family are Jews living in Baghdad, Iraq. In the British aristocratic circle, apart from being rich, they really don’t have much of a reputation...

In comparison, the Catherine family is much stronger in terms of personal connections.

Just by saying "Smell the roses with a tiger in your heart", her family got rid of the reputation of nouveau riche.

Li Yuan seemed to have heard it for the first time and said with surprise: "Is it true?"

He looked at Catherine, and Erlou turned his face to one side...

Catherine did not agree blindly, but asked: "Li, what are the main equipment needed for the pharmaceutical factory?"

Li Yuan could answer easily and said: "Including extraction equipment, separation and purification equipment, preparation equipment, packaging equipment, testing equipment, pharmaceutical water equipment, medicinal purification equipment, as well as crushers, slicers, and stir-fry medicine. machines, liquid storage tanks, etc. Among them, the most difficult ones to buy are extraction tanks and concentration tanks in extraction equipment, ultra-high-speed biological centrifuges in separation and purification equipment, and high-performance liquid chromatographs and gas chromatographs in detection equipment. There are also distilled water machines and ultrapure water machines in pharmaceutical water equipment.”

Catherine was confused when she heard this: "Li, these... can all be used in the military."

Ultrapure water, for example, is of course very important in chemistry and biology laboratories, but it can also be used in cooling systems, boilers and nuclear reactors.

Not to mention extraction, enrichment and high-speed centrifuges, which are indispensable equipment for enriching uranium.

Chromatographs are also indispensable equipment in the development of high-tech weapons...

Li Yuandao: "Catherine, I sincerely welcome you, as the equipment supervisor of the pharmaceutical factory, to come into my pharmaceutical factory at any time to check the operating status of these equipment. Or, I hope you can invite some technicians with the same benevolence and are willing to Come to my pharmaceutical factory to control these devices. Of course, I can't afford a high salary..."

Old Roland shrugged and said with a smile: "The Kadoorie family is willing to guarantee these equipment to ensure that they will not be used outside of the pharmaceutical factory."

After hearing this, Catherine nodded slowly and said, "Okay, when I return to London, I will work hard to do this."

Li Yuan happily praised: "Katherine, Harrell said, you are an angel who has landed on earth, so beautiful, so kind, so sincere! I thought he was a superficial person, but now I know that Harrell is Yes."

"..."

Harrell, who was slowly pushing hands with Li Xing in the corner, was confused at this moment...

Mi Gao slowly covered his face with one hand, his shoulders trembling.

Catherine was not a fool. She looked at the expressionless Harrell, then looked at the people around her, especially Er Lou, and finally laughed and said: "Li, you are so funny. But..." She said to Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiudao: "Although Li is very, very outstanding and the best man I have ever seen, he already has... three wives, so it is impossible for me to fall in love with him. Don't worry."

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu were embarrassed. Lou Xiao'e said happily: "He is not worthy of you."

Catherine shook her head and smiled: "Madam, in your eyes, perhaps there is no man better than him. He is all in your eyes."

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at Li Yuan.

Betty yelled "God", crossed her shoulders and said, "I have never seen such a sweet and loving couple. Li is a magician who stole your sisters' hearts!"

Old Roland was too old to listen to this and asked Li Yuan: "Li, you built a stove by the swimming pool? You are probably the only one in Hong Kong who can do this. What did you do? I smell a good smell." Strong fragrance.”

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Buddha Jumps over the Wall, Fushouquan, I prepared it for three days, the real king of Fujian cuisine! Old Roland, you have blown up a power plant, otherwise I wouldn't even let you smell it."

Old Roland almost burst into tears and almost laughed. He clapped his hands repeatedly and shouted: "Great! I didn't expect that I could also get the glory of the Japanese devils."

Everyone in the room laughed.

After Li Yuan went out to check the heat, he took Harrell and Mi Gao to place the big round table in the garden.

Li Xing took his younger brother, Betty, Catherine and others to bring out the dishes prepared in the kitchen, including famous Shandong dishes such as sweet and sour carp, roasted sea cucumber with green onion, fried double crispy meatballs, Sixi meatballs, nine-turn large intestine, and sesame seeds. There are several plates of Sichuan dishes such as Po's tofu, boiled fish, Kung Pao chicken, spicy chicken, couple's lung slices and more.

The table is filled with fragrance!

Harrell's swallowing sounds made his usually numb poker face turn a little red...

After Betty learned that this table of dishes was cooked by Li Yuan, she uttered a long aria: "Li, no wonder you can marry three wives. I am so happy to be your wife!"

Li Yuan said nothing, but looked at Mi Gao sympathetically, shook his head and said, "You know, she's not just talking about food, right?"

The smile on Mi Gao's face froze, and his chin was raised 35 degrees to prevent tears from flowing out of his eyes...

Li Yuan laughed and patted Mi Gao on the shoulder, and then he felt two eyes staring at him, making him wary. When he looked back, he saw Harrell looking at him expressionlessly.

Li Yuan chuckled. Seeing that the dishes had been placed, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people. It is a rare fate that we can all get together. It is a blessing. As the head of the family, I You should take good care of all the guests. Before dinner, how about Harrel and I performing a martial arts show with everyone?"

Li Xing was the most excited, clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Okay!"

Michael was even more excited, his voice was distorted, and he screamed: "Harrell, my dear brother, it's up to you!"

Betty and Catherine asked Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiudao in surprise: "Can Li know kung fu?"

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu are still a little worried...

Harrell doesn't look human at all.

Li Yuan and Harrell walked a little further and stood on the lawn, six steps apart.

Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and with a "ha" sound, his naturally separated legs stepped forward. In an instant, his muscles and bones screamed together. This is the superior state in the Boxing Sutra, "The Hidden Dragon moves before the thunder starts"!
Then, his figure suddenly rushed forward, his head, hands, feet, and body all moving together. Harrell, who was standing opposite, felt the deepest feeling, as if a strong wind was blowing fiercely, like "the wind blowing a big tree and hundreds of branches shaking."

The look in Harel's eyes revealed a sense of disbelief. It's not like he had never fought against Chinese boxers before, he had also seen master-level Bagua Bu, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could practice to the level of a dragon.

But Harrell was not someone to be trifled with. He twisted his neck like an old bear shaking off a louse.From the neck, vertebrae, hips, thighs, knee joints, shin joints, toe joints, two arms, finger joints...every muscle and bone in the body was thundering.

Although his physical skills are not as good as Li Yuan's, his confidence and strength are definitely not comparable to Li Yuan's.

Let it change in all kinds of ways, he just punched it to meet it.

"what!"

There was a roar in his mouth, like thunder, and a fist as big as a casserole hit Li Yuan's head.

However, before Er Lou could be frightened, Li Yuan's figure was like a swimming dragon, as if the breeze encountered a mountain rock, and he dodged past it very smoothly, and then everyone heard a "bang bang bang bang bang" sound like a drum!
By the time everyone came to their senses, Li Yuan had already withdrawn his hand in a refreshing mood, and asked Harrell with a smile: "Do you admit defeat?"

Harel's face was throbbing with pain. After staring at Li Yuan for a while, he slowly nodded and said: "Your strength has evolved, reaching a state where light and darkness intersect, hardness and softness are combined, and water and fire are mixed. Just now. I only used Ming Jin, if I had used Dark Jin to penetrate the stone and the monument, all my internal organs would have been shattered by you right now."

The two of them walked towards the dining table while talking. The two children, Li Xing and Li Si, were jumping in circles with joy, hehehehahaha.

Michael looked incomprehensible and said: "Harrell, are you performing a show with Li?"

Harrell ignored him, but Old Roland asked with concern: "Li, how did you train? Harrell...he suffered a lot. I spent money you can't imagine to get him to learn from many famous teachers. Those people took him to the battlefield for ten years. When he came back, his teacher said that Harrell should not encounter any opponent on Hong Kong Island. You..."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Old Roland, forget it about Mi Gao. You shouldn't ask such a superficial question. Do you even need to ask? I am a genius. I don't even know how I became like this after practicing. ”

Harrell nodded slowly, looked at Old Roland and said: "Li is a genius. When he first came to Hong Kong Island, he didn't have such strength. I didn't expect that he would improve so quickly. However, if you have a gun in your hand, We’re still [-]-[-].”

He actually turned to Li Yuan and said: "Although you are very powerful, you have too little actual combat experience. Moreover, your kung fu is not really invincible. As far as I know, there are at least five people who can defeat you. And what I know is that What we know is obviously only a small part. If you can use firearms to snipe, it will be even more."

Li Yuan smiled more sincerely and said: "Don't worry Harel, I'm just a doctor. My kung fu is just for self-defense. I don't rely on killing to make a living. As long as we can guarantee it, no one can threaten us with violence." Home is good.”

Harrell: "..."

It turned out that he was just angry because of Mi Gao and took a second look, so he received this beating...

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Catherine looked at Li Yuan and exclaimed: "The mysterious East is truly beyond description in words. Li, if you were not greedy enough to have three wives, you would be the Prince Charming in the eyes of all the girls in the world."

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "That's not necessary, as long as he is the prince charming in my wife's heart, it is enough. Catherine, for me, all these abilities should be used to make the world a better place. There will be no wars, no disasters, There is no discrimination. It is difficult for selfish people to understand our ideals. They laugh at our naivety and even think that we are stupid. But we have an old story in China, called Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains..."

After telling the story again, he said deeply: "As long as we persevere and our children and grandchildren never give up, one day there will be no hunger, no poverty, no suffering in this world..."

Catherine looked at Li Yuan with sacred eyes, put her right hand on her heart, leaned forward slightly, and said solemnly: "Li, I will bring this story back to England and spread it to the world. Let all anti-war people and peace-loving people, All charities, your voice is heard.”

"Three grams of oil!"

……

After a hearty meal, everyone dispersed.

Li Yuan soaked the feet of his two wives, massaged them, sent them upstairs to rest, and told his two sons a historical story, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

After finishing talking about "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", the two sons couldn't sleep even more, they were so excited.

Li Si looked at his father and said, "Dad, why is Lu Bu so powerful? Can't he resist the eighteen princes who were killed by one person?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Martial arts training depends on one's strength and talent. Lu Bu is like a born god of war, invincible in the world."

Li Xingze asked: "Dad, what happened to Lu Bu in the end?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "You want to know his ending in advance? It's not impossible. It's good to feel what it feels like to be spoiled... Well, Lu Bu relies on his personal bravery, and no one takes it seriously. Here, he couldn't listen to good advice, and was eventually killed by Cao Cao in Baimen Tower. He lost his wife and daughter. Therefore, advantages sometimes become disadvantages. Lu Bu is the best in the world in martial arts. He usually only likes to use force to solve problems. He doesn't love Use your head. As for Cao Cao, a hundred Cao Cao's combined are not enough for Lu Bu to hit with one hand, but Lu Bu's head was cut off by Cao Cao. What do you think?"

Li Xing said in a deep voice: "Brain is more important than personal bravery!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The two are not in conflict. If you have both brains and personal bravery, that will be the icing on the cake."

Li Si asked what was in his heart: "Dad, who is more powerful, you or Lu Bu?"

Li Yuan wondered: "You have to fight to know. If you can invite him here, I will fight with him."

The brothers laughed and laughed for a while.

After saying good night, Li Yuan covered the two of them with quilts, one on the upper bunk and one on the lower bunk. After turning off the lights, he walked out of the house.

The bright moon in the sky is as bright as a jade plate. I wonder if this bright moon can illuminate the past life...

It has been more than ten years, and even the appearance of my parents is a bit blurry.

But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Yuan misses them very much.

After standing for more than half an hour, he went back to the house and walked around. His family's breathing was steady. He left the house again, closed the door, and looked at the intersection at the gate. Four security guards were faintly visible guarding the intersection. He nodded secretly. Behind his head, he changed into black clothes and black trousers, put on a black hat, jumped a few times, and left quietly.

He wants to do something to make the world a better place...
