My village can't be like this

Chapter 228 Lotus Pond Water World

In the afternoon, Zhang An cut a lot of bamboo, and after dinner, Zhang An began to build bamboo beds.

Zhang An has mastered the skills in it since he studied with Zhang Erye last time.

In addition, Zhang An is relatively young and flexible, so this job can be done faster.

Moreover, Zhang Jianguo was helping with the bamboo roasting work, which saved a lot of time.

Soon, two turquoise bamboo beds were made.

It's just that Zhang An really couldn't finish the last layer of bamboo mats.

Because Zhang An's skill is not deep enough, he can't draw such thin strips.

In the end, Zhang An had no choice but to go out with the bamboo on his shoulders, and went to the two old men at home for help.

An old man in a family is like a treasure, this saying is absolutely true.

Calculated in this way, Zhang An's family has quite a few treasures.

As soon as Zhang An walked to the door, he heard the sound of storytelling radio coming from the yard.

After listening carefully for a while, Zhang An knew that this thick, dignified, and upright voice was Mr. Yuan Kuocheng's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Walking into the yard, Zhang An found that several old men in the village were listening to the radio inside.

Each of them held a big smoking gun in their hands, and they put it in their mouths and took two puffs from time to time.

The smoke pot on the pipe is on and off from time to time.

When it was about to go out, the old men put it into their mouths and sucked it, and then it became bright again.

"Xiao An is here, why are you still carrying so many bamboos?"

Seeing Zhang An enter the yard, Second Master Zhang and Fourth Master Zhang smiled kindly.

"I made two beds at home, so I came here to ask my grandfather to help make two bamboo fences."

Anyway, it was his old man, so Zhang An didn't have any embarrassment in calling him out.

"We said just now that we couldn't find anything to kill the time, and now we're doing work."

Hearing that his grandson asked him for help, Zhang Erye was very happy.

People of their age feel very happy if they can help the family.

"It just so happens that these old ghosts are here, and the whole process is very fast."

As Zhang Erye said, he took several knives from home.

Generally, there is only one hatchet and flower knife at home, but now there are many people in the yard.

So Mr. Zhang took out all the kitchen knives, hatchets, sickles and flower knives at home, and each of them had one, regardless of one or the other.

"Oh, I also said that I will come to your house to listen to the tape recorder today, so it seems that the tape recorder is not for nothing."

He was joking, but these old men all laughed and moved their hands.

Don't underestimate these old men, they are basically very skilled in bamboo crafts in their generation, and their rough hands should not be too delicate in their work.

The bamboo baskets and baskets that Zhang An made in the past were all orders from them.

On the basket, there are all kinds of flower work.

Before and after Zhang An bought a lot of bamboo baskets, which made them a lot of money.

So now, everyone is very happy to do Zhang An a favor.

Needless to say, experienced is experienced, people don't use flower knives, and the strips are all cut like threads.

It's just that you have to pull it with a flower knife at the end, so that the strips will be thinner.

Zhang An didn't have such a skill, so he could only help out by doing miscellaneous work.

At the moment, the old men moved their hands while listening to the thick voice of the old man Yuan.

Soon, the bamboo that Zhang An brought over was dealt with.

Although two bamboo fences were needed this time, the speed of pulling bamboo silk was much faster than last time.

The main reason is that there are more people in the yard. At this time, Grandma Zhang also cooked the sour soup.

The other old men finished their work and listened to the storytelling, so they went back to their homes.

"Okay, Xiao An, you can go back, and tomorrow I will take it to your house to fight."

The freshly boiled bamboo shreds must be dried overnight, and it is getting dark now.

And the size of the bamboo fence, even if Zhang An memorizes it, there is an error after all.

So the old man thought about drying the bamboo silk tomorrow, and taking it to Zhang An's house to compare the size.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'll go back."

It was getting late now, so Zhang returned home and took a cold shower before returning to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhang Erye came over with the dried bamboo shreds and prepared to make bamboo fences.

Last time, Zhang An guessed that it must take a lot of time to make a mat with such a thin bamboo thread.

Sure enough, it took a whole day of work, and finally finished laying two bamboo mats.

Put the cushions on and install them, and the bed is finished.

In fact, if you are not in a hurry, you can brush a layer of raw tung oil on it.

After it dries and sands it down, the bed will be smoother and the posts will be free of bugs.

. . .

After entering August, as the weather gradually became hotter, more and more people came to the village every day.

Fortunately, the village has already made preparations, otherwise it would be too much for so many people.

Since last year, the village has been visited by tourists.

But apart from the people who came to fish, there were really not many other people who came here specially.

But it's different now. Hongyan Town Railway Station is open to traffic this year, so it must be much more convenient to come here than before.

So now that there are more and more people in the town, the village naturally got a ride.

Especially many urbanites, after coming to this mountain village by chance, fell in love with this original ecological small mountain village at a glance.

In the past, everyone's awareness was superficial, and they didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

But after this year, under the guidance of the old uncle intentionally or unintentionally, everyone began to think in this direction.

The eyes of the masses are always discerning in terms of interests.

Leaving Zhang An's family aside, the farmhouse music run by their family is really doing well during this period of time.

But now everyone knows that farmhouse entertainment is not the main business of Zhang An's family, and it doesn't matter whether they have business or not.

What caught everyone's attention was Zhou Yang's family and Zhang Jianzhong's family.

These two can be said to be the pioneers in the village, and the B&Bs and restaurants work together.

Although I made a lot of money by making fast food last year, everyone didn't pay much attention to it in the end.

What they thought in their hearts was that when no one in the village came to fish, the two businesses would definitely disappear.

But I didn't expect that after the train opened, there would only be a lot more people in the village, and the business would not be worse than before.

So looking at the changes in others one by one, the little Jiujiu in my heart increased.

People in the village have a role model to take the lead, and their minds become active.

Start thinking on your own terms and see what you can do.

Humans are not afraid of not doing well, but of not doing anything.

In the beginning, everyone was very poor at what they did, and they were like four different people.

But slowly, they really made some scale.

So after a year of development, although Changqing Village has not yet become a tourist village.

However, the homestays, restaurants, shops, and snack bars in the village have all developed, which are much better than before.

If there were any major changes, Zhang An couldn't say.

But the most intuitive thing is that there was only Zhang Xinmin's small shop in the village before, just like a black shop.

But it is different now, there are many small shops in the village.

Moreover, Zhang Xinmin's family has also expanded in size, directly building a spacious house to open a shop.

A lot of containers have been added inside, and the types and quantity of goods have been doubled many times. It is already the size of a convenience store.

In a small mountain village, shops are a very easy way to see the economic conditions of the village.

Many villages have only one store, as did Changqing in the past.

Is it that they don't want to buy something?Is it that they don't like to consume?
No, it's because they have no money.

Now that there are so many small shops in Changqing Village, it can be clearly seen that the consumption level of the people in the village has been improved.

In the afternoon, the sun in the sky was blocked by the shade of the trees, and Zhang An lay comfortably on the cool bed.

Blowing the cool wind blowing from the field, he still felt that the wind was not strong enough.

The great sage next to him was still holding a cattail fan and fanning it back and forth towards him, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Yo, you bastard, you've really lived the life of a rich landlord."

Zhang Ping was like a drop of water falling from the sky, breaking Zhang An's peaceful life.

"My dad said, I'll call you over for a drink at night, and I have something to discuss with everyone."

"Okay, I'll go there tonight."

When Zhang An heard about drinking, he thought that the old man was trying to persuade him.

But Zhang Ping added a sentence later, and Zhang An knew that something really happened this time.

After Zhang Ping left, Zhang An began to close his eyes and meditate again.

But at this time, the Great Sage started to go on strike, and the fan in his hand stopped moving.

But Zhang An didn't even open his eyes, and took out a peach from the space and handed it to the Great Sage next to him.Money can make ghosts grind, and having peaches can make monkeys fan.

With space Tao'er, the Great Sage happily fanned Zhang An again.

One person, one monkey is a bit too proficient in the transaction, and no time was wasted in the whole process.

I came to the old uncle's house next night. There were more people this time, and all the village leaders were there.

Due to the hot weather, everyone is shirtless when eating and drinking.

"I called everyone together today because I have something to discuss with you."

When the wine was halfway through, Zhang Jianwen started to talk about business with everyone.

And everyone at the table also started to stop their bragging and farting.

Although he was still eating, he didn't make any noise, and listened quietly to what the old man had to say.

"The number of people in our village has been increasing day by day during this period of time. I think everyone can see it."

When the old man said that, everyone nodded.

There are so many people by the river these days, no one is blind.

Whether at home or in the field, you can find it with your eyes.

After listening to the old man's words, Zhang An probably understood the main point of today's drinking.

That is to say, Zhang Jianwen discovered some time ago that since the train passed, the number of people in the village has increased day by day.

And after falling into ambush, most of the people who came liked to play in the water by the river.

So Zhang Jianwen just thought about it like that, and he really figured out something.

Especially after falling into ambush, the weather must be getting hotter every day.

At that time, more and more people will come to the village to play in the water and escape the heat.

So Zhang Jianwen wanted to discuss with everyone to renovate the Shuiyantang.

It is specially made into a place for playing with water, so that more people can come to the village to play.

Hearing what the old uncle said, Zhang An had to take another look at the old uncle.

"Okay, uncle, you can think of all of this. This idea is really good."

This means that Changqing Village has a first-generation water world.

This is an attractive gimmick. If it is done well, I believe many people are willing to come.

There is nothing in Changqing Village, only this piece of green mountains and green waters.

In Zhang An's mind, the big river at the entrance of the village is the village's magic weapon.

With the gradual improvement of everyone's life, it is an inevitable trend to travel in mountains and rivers to improve the quality of life.

And now that there is a train in the town, it is very convenient and inexpensive to come here.

But the old uncle was right in saying that it is only August now.

If it's done quickly, people will come in October.

The most important thing is that this is not a one-off deal, and it can continue in the future.

After the old man said this, everyone could feel the business opportunities inside.

So no surprise, everyone agreed to the old uncle's proposal.

Of course, this is because there is still a sum of money in the account of the village.

Just now the old uncle said that the cost of the renovation does not need to be pooled by everyone, and the money will be paid directly from the account of the village.

This is the premise of everyone's agreement. You don't have to pay for it yourself, and the village can do whatever it wants.

As for the money in the village account, if it didn't go into their own pockets, everyone didn't think it was their own money, and they didn't feel bad when they spent it.

In this way, everyone had just agreed on the matter the night before, and the next day the old uncle began to gather people to start work.

Originally, the road from the bridge head to the Shuiyantang was just a field ridge road, but now it is paved with bluestone slabs.

It feels like an ancient village when people walk on it.

The Shuiyantang was originally a river beach, covered with river sand from the upper reaches.

Now it has undergone some transformation, and the surrounding weeds and thorny vines have also been disposed of.

Due to the large area, it looks like a beach, enough for many people to play on it.

The original flooded pond has also become a past tense, and was renamed by the village.

Because there are many lotus flowers growing in the river water of the flooded pond.

And this season, the pink lotus is blooming, and the scenery is not too good.

So from now on, we will call this place the lotus pond.

In this way, the first amusement project in Changqing Village - Hehuatang Water Park was officially established.

In the first day, a total of dozens of people came. The number is not large, but it has improved compared to last year.

But from the next day, the flow of people in the village began to rise sharply, reaching more than 200 people.

However, it is also understandable that in such a hot weather, people come here just to avoid the heat.

There is such a place to play with water, who would not want to come and have a look after hearing about it.

However, in the end, because there were too many people coming, a lot of garbage was left every night.

Even if a lot of trash cans are set up, it is useless, and they still have to be disposed of manually.

Finally, after discussion, the village plans to start charging fees.

This is not ticket money, it should be said that it is health management expenses.

In this way, some people in the village have work to do, and the daily environment can be kept clean.

And by the way, the village also thought about recovering the cost of renovation previously invested.

The cost is not much, two yuan for adults and one yuan for children.
