What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

People who have not read the book "The Lord of the Rings" cannot understand this "stalk".

Apparently, the waiter was surprised because she hadn't read the book. Her eyes with exaggerated eyeliner and false eyelashes were full of surprise: "How do you know the boss said this before? Do you know our boss?"

"I've never seen it before. This is my first time in New Zealand, but the name of the tavern is in the novel in my hand, so I have this guess."

"That's right! The boss usually likes to read books the most. He always likes to talk about the content after being drunk, but we don't know what we are talking about. It is his idea to put so many books in the bar. Unfortunately, today he Not at night, otherwise I can have a good chat with you."

"That's really a pity." Li Chungang also felt a little regretful. This kind of opportunity to meet and communicate with loyal readers and fans abroad is very rare. The most important thing is that from the layout of this bar, one can understand that the owner must be a People who love to read books and love The Lord of the Rings.

It can be expected that the communication between the two will be very pleasant.

It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, the bar owner who usually comes to the bar on time every night to have a few drinks and read a book, is not here today!

He wanted to sign his name on the title page of the book, but after thinking about it carefully, he should not do such a presumptuous thing, and just write a note and stick it inside the book page.

There are not many people in the bar, or it is difficult to get too much popularity in a bar with such a strange style or even a weird style in foreign countries. Alcohol and books are not too compatible. This is purely the owner of the bar. due to hobbies.

So the waitress simply sat across from Li Chungang and chatted with him while scrubbing the wine glass: "You look like an Asian. Are you here to visit Auckland? I always feel that you are not of legal drinking age."

But the money has been paid, and even the wine has been served, it seems a bit too late to say this.

Li Chungang didn't have any thoughts about her, but Zhong Guo, a boring gourd, is obviously not a good chat partner. It's boring to drink alone, and it's good to have someone to chat with now, so he replied: "My girlfriend and I are here. traveling here."

"New Zealand is beautiful, you will love it here! Have a great time."

"Thanks, I've only been here for a short day, but I think I've grown to like it."

After Li Chungang watched the waitress leave,

He put his eyes on the desktop, where there are some single-use pencils and sticky notes. After thinking about it, he wrote on it in English: "It's a pleasure to see this book here, and I hope that when I come next time Can see the Green Dragon Tavern."

After writing this sentence, he still searched in his mind to write the elf characters of the Green Dragon Tavern on it, although this is actually a bit nondescript.

Because the Green Dragon Tavern is actually a place where hobbits gather to drink, and no elves will come to this place. Except for Bilbo Baggins and Frodo who can speak Elvish in Hobbiton, the rest of the hobbits don't know it at all.

After Li Chungang finished writing, he put the note in the pages of the book and clipped it. I don’t know how long it will be until the next time he comes to New Zealand. I’m afraid that “The Lord of the Rings” should be filmed here at that time!

Now that the movie hasn't come out, fans can only imagine the appearance of each scene in their own minds.

After he sat in the bar for about 40 to 50 minutes, He Miao had already urged on WeChat not to drink too late, thinking that the purpose of entering this bar to gain experience had basically been achieved, so he got up and left.

Put 20 New Zealand dollars in the tip jar at the bar. This is not a country where tipping is mandatory.

—

The rolling hills and countless verdant pastures accompanied Li Chungang and others all the way. Today their journey is to go to the small town of Matamata, a place specially designated by Li Chungang himself.

The town of Matamata! ?

Is there anything special about this place?

Ethan thought hard for a while, but he didn't think of any special places worth noting in this remote town in New Zealand. If there are no traces of modern life such as modern roads, cables and wires, it is considered a special place, then such a place is in New Zealand. There are really a lot of them on the North Island.

Use other people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since it is the boss' request, you have to agree to anything. If you have money, you are a master!

"I don't know if the DeWitt family's ranch will be sold."

Before coming here, Li Chungang had been checked by someone in advance. The land here is owned by a family named "Dewitt", and they also saw the sign of the Devitt family when they came in just now.

After He Miao heard Li Chungang talking to himself, he asked in surprise, "Why do you think of buying land here?"

"Don't you think this is the most suitable place to reproduce Hobbiton in the book of "The Lord of the Rings"? The natural scenery in New Zealand is really good, besides, inflation is serious all over the world now, so many deposits Putting it in the bank to eat interest may not be able to beat inflation, so it is better to buy a piece of land as a family heirloom."

Li Chungang said half-truthfully, he was actually not sure about the specific location of Hobbiton. The related books he unlocked before only roughly described that it was located in this remote town on the North Island of New Zealand.

He stood on a small hill and took a video with his mobile phone. In the video, he shot this place from a distance, as if it was a true reproduction of Middle-earth. As the original author and screenwriter, as long as there are sufficient reasons, he can persuade Universal Pictures to shoot the movie. It is not difficult to place here.

It's just that these words were not uttered. After all, there was an outsider, Ethan, and Li Chungang was not going to reveal his plan.

Ethan is indeed a China hand. He can tell that Li Chungang's idea of ​​buying land just now is true, and he is secretly surprised at the moment. Writing a book as a writer really makes a lot of money these days, tens of millions of New Zealand dollars at every turn. The land doesn't blink an eye when it says buy!

The scenery is picturesque and the mountains and rivers are vast, but there are no huts, mills or terraced fields, which require the set designer and prop master to work before filming.

Li Chungang does not intend to make these buildings one-off, but intends to truly restore the landscape of Middle-earth 100% and build them, so that whether it is used as private land for annual vacations in the future, or for sequels, it will be very good.

"The Lord of the Rings" Although Universal Pictures wants to shoot three films in one go, there is also an unknown "The Hobbit". After this book comes out, it will still be handed over to Universal for filming.

This place is like a quiet and beautiful paradise. The creek flows quietly against the hills, and the cattle and sheep in the distance graze leisurely. There is a pure and charming pastoral style everywhere!

"Mr. Felton is still waiting for us in the manor. They have prepared rich food." Ethan looked at the time on his watch and reminded kindly, "It's getting late now."

This stop was finalized by Li Chungang with the travel company before coming to New Zealand. They came forward to help Li Chungang contact the DeWitt family, so they could drive around in other people's ranches. The owner killed him directly and there was no place to complain.

As soon as the group entered the manor, they were warmly welcomed by the owner of the manor, Felton DeWitt, as soon as they got out of the car.

Especially after the other party learned that Li Chungang's identity was actually the author of the world's best-selling fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings", he became more enthusiastic now, and grabbed Li Chungang's arm from He Miao's hand and went to the back garden of the manor Walking, there are already employees of the ranch over there who are busy preparing a feast for the guests.

Before the people arrived, everyone could already smell the aroma of roasted beef and mutton coming from afar!

In addition, there was a rectangular dining table that could accommodate a dozen people without any problem at the same time. Under Mr. Felton's warm greeting, everyone found a place to sit down one by one.

The beef and mutton that is still roasting is not counted. At this time, the table is already filled with a variety of exquisite delicacies, such as abalone, lobster, smoked sausage, etc...all are fresh that can be bought in New Zealand. Ingredients, "Welcome to come from afar!"

After a brief conversation, Li Chungang and the others realized that all the ingredients and things they saw in front of them were fresh ingredients that could be found locally in New Zealand, and today's highlight, freshly roasted beef and mutton, was produced at their Dewitt Ranch Cattle and sheep, guaranteed 100% original ecology.

"Come, come, everyone, have a taste of my treasured wine, this lady can beautify her face after drinking it."

"Then thank you, Mr. Felton."

To be honest, before coming here, Li Chungang did not expect that Felton, the owner of the ranch, would be so enthusiastic, and he didn't know whether this enthusiasm was only for them or for all foreign guests, but no matter what, they all I was a little flattered by the enthusiasm of foreigners.

This is the top seafood ingredients, and the whole beef and mutton from the ranch, and now even the treasured wine is invited out.

If you eat it in any restaurant in the world like this, not counting the wine whose specific value is unknown, it will definitely not be worth tens of thousands!

They all said that guests can do whatever they want, and under the hospitality of Mr. Felton, the host, they are also hard-pressed to give up their hospitality. One after another, they feasted and enjoyed the food and wine...

“Rich and full-bodied, elegant and fresh to drink, this white wine goes well together, but it would be nice to have a little more suppleness and variety when it’s made.”

Li Chungang put down the goblet in his hand, and turned into a wine critic, as if that was the case.

Obviously, he had never even drank wine before, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something that he thought was fairly fair under Felton's expectant gaze.

He Miao, who was sitting next to him, first poked the soft flesh on his waist with his hand, and then joked in a low voice: "When did you become a wine lover?"

"Just before drinking this glass of wine, I finally realized the beauty of wine."

After enjoying a sumptuous local meal at DeWitt Ranch, they returned to Auckland. Due to time constraints, they did not plan to go to the South Island in this trip. In a few hours, Li Chungang and his party will be leaving Board the plane to Los Angeles, USA.

The natural scenery of this small country is excellent, and the Maori culture and so on are very attractive.

It’s just that there is no permanent banquet in the world. After playing here for a week, everyone is actually a little physically and mentally exhausted. The main reason is that they often sit in the car and run around most of the time.

And this meal at the Devitt Ranch also has the meaning of a "farewell banquet" in it, mainly because after getting along for a week, everyone including the taciturn Zhong Guo had a feeling for Ethan, a good-tempered and straightforward Maori man. Good impression, so everyone's mood was very high during this meal.

After returning from Devitt Ranch all the way back to the hotel where Otland was located, everyone began to simply pack their own luggage. When they came, it was basically a suitcase + a backpack as standard, but when they left There are two extra suitcases, which are not too big or too small, filled with many "specialties" belonging to New Zealand. This is still the reason why some of them are inconvenient to carry with them and have been checked by an international logistics company to return to China in advance, otherwise they will increase There are more suitcases.

In particular, the "trophies" that He Miao came to New Zealand to mobilize this time have already returned home one step ahead of schedule.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Chungang still considers that his trip to New Zealand with He Miao is already well-known in China, so it would be a bit embarrassing not to bring some souvenirs to relatives and friends after returning home Yes, even bringing a can of New Zealand's famous local milk powder is better than empty hands!

As for the three guys in dorm 404...

He considered whether he could find a way to go to the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers when he was in Los Angeles, and wanted to get the autographed jersey of the head star Black Mamba, and believed that no man would refuse this gift.

After packing up, Ethan drove them to the airport. Seeing Ethan who had a lot of worries along the way, who wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, after getting off the car, Li Chungang asked Zhong Ge to take He Miao to go through the luggage check-in formalities first. , and left alone to say goodbye to Ethan——

"Ethan, thank you very much for this week. There is an old saying in Huaguo that there is always a feast that ends forever. I hope we can see each other again in the future!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Li. I am very glad to be your tour guide. Before I leave, I have a small request. Can you sign the book "The Lord of the Rings" for me? My son likes your writing very much. This story, he felt that this book made him see a magical magical world."

In the parking area, Ethan nervously took out a book from the storage compartment of the passenger seat.

Li Chungang readily agreed: "Of course there is no problem. Should I write in Chinese or English?"

"Both languages ​​are fine. Our family usually communicates in two languages."

Li Chungang returned the physical book with the written greetings to Ethan, extended his hand to shake him and said solemnly: "Thank you for taking care of me this week, you are an excellent tour guide."

"Thanks!"

"Goodbye! Next time I have time to travel to New Zealand, I will still look for you, but next time I have to go to the South Island and visit your uncle's ranch."

Ethan, who was standing in the same place, was quite touched when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Li Chungang would always remember the recommendation he casually gave to his uncle's ranch.

After speaking, Li Chungang pushed his suitcase into the airport lobby with the rest of the passengers, and this trip to New Zealand came to an end.

But obviously this will not be the last time he comes here. Yesterday he entrusted the real estate agent here to discuss the sale price of the ranch with the DeWitt family. come over!

My backyard is Hobbiton, which is pretty cool just thinking about it.
