Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 173

The next morning, Lao Xia drove to Taohua Village.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Cheng He's house, he exclaimed, "When was your house built? It's so beautiful!"

The last time I came here was in summer, and at that time, the house was still very dilapidated.

In just a few months, the house was built so well that it caught his eye.

Lao Xia has seen all kinds of good things. I don't know how many famous villas he has seen, but there are not many that can make him so amazed.

Cheng He said with a smile: "It's not long since it was built. Mr. Xia, I'm not modest enough to say that this is a famous design."

Lao Xia laughed, and said, "I can tell, it's not a famous family, and it doesn't have such momentum! By the way, I see that a large area of ​​your village is under construction. What's going on?"

It is still very strange that the whole village builds houses together at the same time.

Cheng He said: "You can see through everything at a glance. Our village plans to build a tourist village, and then Mr. Xia is welcome to join us!"

"Rural tourism?" Lao Xia asked, "What kind of form is it?"

Not all rural tourism projects are profitable.

The cost of rebuilding the whole village is not small.

Cheng He pointed to a mountain not far behind the village and said, "I contracted that mountain to build a million-dollar orchid garden next year, merge the rebuilt village, and start a tourism project."

To be honest, this project was originally Lao Xia’s suggestion.

At that time, he said, this orchid is very beautiful, it is better to have a large area, which will cause a landscape effect, it must be good.

But Lao Xia was still quite surprised.

He was not surprised at all that Cheng He contracted the mountain to run the business. He never underestimated Cheng He's ability.

What surprised him was how Cheng He would think of something to rebuild the mountain village and create a landscape together with "Lanyuan".

The price is not small.

Everyone wants to engage in tourism.

Compared with other industries, the tourism industry can almost be called "all profits". As long as the early planning is good and the publicity is in place, there will be almost no cost in the future except for some maintenance.

Many hills have their own scenery, and the early planning does not cost much. This is almost a matter of making money by sitting on the ground.

Compared with other industries, tourism is relatively more cost-effective.

But the difficulty lies in the aspects of "pre-planning and publicity".

How many hundreds of millions to billions of tourist attractions have been invested, and they are beautifully built, but unfortunately no one cares about them, and they lose money.

Cheng He wanted to build tourism in a place like Taohua Village, which was a good idea, but it was not so easy to make a profit.

It would be naive to think of earning money just by relying on the fame of Taohua Village's bamboo weaving.

Based on the fact that he has a good relationship with Cheng He and thinks highly of him as a young man, he told Cheng He about his worries.

This is also because he treats Cheng He as a friend.

If it were an ordinary person, he could just reply casually, "Oh, that's good! It's fine! I think it's okay." That's fine, it's simple, and it's comfortable for others to listen to.

Cheng He naturally heard Lao Xia's kindness, and he smiled.Of course he had thought about these things.

In terms of publicity, he has prepared funds, and after all the houses in the village are rebuilt, he will find a way to do publicity.

Even if he doesn't have enough funds left, he is not afraid. Now funds are no longer his concern.

In addition, even if the publicity is still unsuccessful, he still has Sulan seeds to sell for money every year. The profit of "Million Orchid Garden" can be said to be just Su Lan's addition.

In fact, Taohua Village currently has bamboo weaving. After the reconstruction, there will be an "old-fashioned mountain village" beauty, an art learning center, and a million orchid garden, which is already very good.

It can be said that if there is beauty in the scenery and literature and art, as long as the publicity is in place, he is still very confident.

After analyzing all aspects, Lao Xia nodded in agreement.

It's all about human effort!
Although it is true that many attractions collapsed at a loss and failed to open successfully, there are always great successes.People can't be too timid.

How will you know if you don't try?

Besides, rebuilding the entire Taohua Village is finally something that will benefit the whole village.Families always have to live in their own homes, and there is nothing to lose.

He looked at Cheng He and felt that this young man with a very calm personality was more capable than he imagined.He did a lot of things almost without saying a word.

Cheng He didn't make any profit from the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village, but he has been helping to manage the situation until now. Not everyone can do it.

And now he is being targeted by the Koreans, and he is still planning to tear the Koreans to the end.

Now that Taohua Village has been completely rebuilt, this is not a small matter, but Cheng He has done it.

Lao Xia has never underestimated Cheng He, since he wants to build a "Million Orchid Garden", maybe it will really work out.

He smiled and said, "Then I wish you success first! It's the road here. The progress of the repair is too slow, and it seems urgent. I don't know when it will be open to traffic."

He drove here today, and he has a deep understanding.

Cheng He also expressed helplessness.

In general, it is good news that road construction has started.Take your time.

This is just a digression. Lao Xia came here today mainly to ask Cheng He about the bamboo weaving lawsuit.

The Chinese-American lawyer he introduced to Cheng He was his former classmate. He had a very good relationship and was also enthusiastic. He should try his best to handle this case.

But he still wants to show his concern and try his best.

Since it's an international lawsuit, he feels that his people should form a group. It can't be Cheng He's business alone.

In two days, Cheng He will go to Hong Kong to participate in the auction and sell his meteorite to pay for the lawsuit.

For Lao Xia, Cheng He acted like a righteous man, which made him admire.

He confessed many things to Cheng He. After all, he is more expert than Cheng He in collecting meteorites, and there are still many "hidden rules" in meteorite trading.

He told Cheng He more, and Cheng He could sell more money.

Talking and talking, at noon, what should be said is almost done.

Cheng He was also very grateful to Lao Xia, and said, "Let's have a light meal at my house at noon."

Lao Xia laughed: "The meal at your house can't be called light meal."

He never forgot the taste of eating at Cheng He's last time.

The whole table of wild game left him with endless aftertaste.

Now that Cheng He made an invitation, he would never refuse.

Cheng He said: "I planted some vegetables myself, and it tasted good last time. Please try it today."

Lao Xia expressed that he couldn't wait.

In the countryside, not to mention what to eat, just standing here and taking a breath of pure fresh air is all earned.

He now also feels that there is nothing wrong with opening a tourist village here.

The difficulty lies in how to make it hot!

Cheng He carried the basket and walked into the field.

Lao Xia said: "I don't have anything to do anyway, why don't we go and see your field together."

Cheng He didn't object.

The place to grow vegetables is not far away, just a few minutes walk.

This large area is full of vegetable growers, some grow beans, some grow okra, etc., all kinds of seasonal vegetables.

In Cheng He's field, in addition to some seasonal vegetables, there are also several special vegetables.

He thought the black tomatoes he ate last time were good, so he picked some today.

Think about it, get a few more artichokes, a purple cauliflower.

Cheng He frowned, he seemed to be a little bit confused, but fortunately there was a live fish in stock yesterday, so there was finally a meat dish.

Moreover, some weeds have grown in the field. If there is nothing else to do in a while, I will come to hoe.

He didn't plan to use any herbicide on this field.Use a hoe to eat what you eat.

Lao Xia stood on the ground and looked at it, blue sky and white clouds, red mountains and green grass, it was very comfortable to look at.

The top of the mountain was originally green, but in late autumn, many leaves turned yellow or red, and it looked like a red mountain from a distance, giving it a special autumn atmosphere.

He sighed: "In such a place, life is a kind of enjoyment! It's so enjoyable!"

Taking a deep breath, it feels like the lungs have been washed.

Looking at Cheng He's field, the things he planted seemed to be different from other people's. He pointed to the purple cauliflower and exclaimed: "This...there are purple ones here?"

He's only seen green and white.

Cheng He smiled and said, "Yeah, I also searched for seeds on the Internet. I bragged about it well, so I'll buy some and try planting them."

Lao Xia was pleasantly surprised: "Hahaha... It seems that I have a good taste again. Purple cauliflower, I dare say, not many people have eaten this thing!"

Cheng He said: "I don't know, anyway, it should be quite rare. I will try it later, and I don't know if it is good or not."

He just wanted to grow some special things, so he searched around the Internet and looked around.

Lao Xia said: "It must be delicious! Fresh food! I heard that this special vegetable is very good for the human body."

Cheng He laughed: "If that's the case, wouldn't I have earned it?"

"Of course I made it! I made it too. It seems that I will come to Taohua Village often in the future." Lao Xia said.

After getting some self-grown vegetables back, Cheng He was about to start preparing lunch.

They are all a few vegetarian dishes, and they are very fast to make.

One advantage of home-grown vegetables is that they are definitely fresher than those bought in the vegetable market.

No matter how well-developed the transportation of the vegetables in the vegetable market is, they are not as fresh as his.

The black tomato is still cold; the artichokes are cut into pieces, wrapped in egg liquid and deep-fried, crispy, tender and sweet; the purple cauliflower, which has never been made before, so fry it with bacon, let’s have a big plate of purple cauliflower.

The bacon was brought by an old man in the village.Knowing that he only came back this year, and he didn't catch up with the slaughter of pigs and bacon for the New Year, everyone would bring him some.

If he hadn't rejected a lot, his house would have become a bacon warehouse by now.

The villagers are grateful to Cheng He for what he has done for the village.

Cheng He didn't plan to ask for it at first, but there was nothing he could do. The villagers were too enthusiastic.

Forget it, anyway, if he has good things, he will think about them anyway.

Now cut a little out, and the stir-fried dish is just right.

Artichoke, also known as chrysanthemum thistle, artichoke, French lily, or artichoke, has many names. I don’t know how it is related to “North Korea”.

This thing is not common, and there are not many ways to make it. It is usually made of Western food.

For example, boil it to make a salad or something, or add some sausage or something to dip it.

Cheng He directly adopted the Chinese method, which is more suitable for their tastes.

Artichoke is a healthy green vegetable that has many benefits for the human body, such as nourishing the liver and lowering cholesterol.
