As several special scenic spots in Haojiawan Village and Ma'aozi Village were gradually discovered, these places became places that many tourists yearned for.

Especially tourists with a bit of adventurous spirit in their bones, they have a special liking for the unique Danxia scenic spot in Ma'aozi Village. Later, they also became interested in the underground river at the entrance of Ma'aozi Village. If the stream in front of them had not been regarded as a sacred source of life by the village, this person might have taken professional equipment to explore it.

The happiest people to see such a scene are the two party secretaries of Haojiawan and Ma'aozi Village. Those scenic spots have not been developed yet. Just because Gu Hongyu recommended them on Xianyuan.com, they welcomed a swarm of people. Villagers in these two villages have made a living from the scenic spots and earned a lot of income for a period of time.

Just like Xiaohua's family in Haojiawan Village, her family consists of only two people, a grandmother and a grandson, and there is no heavy labor. Just because Xingxingtan is famous, her family set up a tea shop on the edge of Xingxingtan, selling some pancakes and tea eggs casually, and their lives began to get much better.

There is such a good situation even before the roads are built. There is no need for the two village party secretaries to appeal to the town. The town has already increased the construction progress of the two roads. The improvement of the economic situation of the two villages is their political achievement. How can they not be anxious!

While the two villages were working hard, Gu Hongyu was not idle either. In Honghu Village, except for the ancient city ruins and the hotel on the folk street that have not been completed, even the construction of the wildlife reserve has entered the final stage.

Yes, that's right. After the country determined the clear scope of this project, Gu Hongyu began to enclose the land. The area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers is very wide. In the designated area, Gu Hongyu still built protective nets and signs in some necessary places.

In addition, the area near Honghu Lake is completely separated from Honghu Village. Gu Hongyu built a large steel shed near the hillside near the original Honghu Swamp, which set up a wildlife rescue base, a wildlife auxiliary breeding base, and some research, observation..., which are divided very carefully.

These are undoubtedly to help the healthy and strong growth of wild animals in the Honghu Wildlife Reserve. Of course, the province has also sent some very dedicated experts to stay in Honghu Village for a long time. And all the expenses are counted on Gu Hongyu.

Gu Hongyu welcomes those experts who can stay in Honghu Village. The amount of their research funds reported is only a few million yuan, plus some of their subsidies and equipment application funds, the annual expenditure is at most 2 million yuan, which is not worth mentioning in Gu Hongyu's eyes.

Because in the wildlife reserve, Gu Hongyu has opened two tourist routes. A long bird-watching platform has also been built on the edge of the swamp area near Honghu Lake. It does not cost a penny to watch wild birds. Only one hundred yuan is required to take the sightseeing bus in the reserve.

Maybe there is not much desire for people to go in and see the reserve now, but Gu Hongyu believes that after his continuous transformation of the reserve and the restoration of the wasteland grassland, those plants with the smell of space spring water will definitely attract many herbivores. With more herbivores, how far are the carnivores?

Those plans have been circling in Gu Hongyu's mind for a long time. Now they can be fully opened. The wildlife reserve can not only bring a large number of tourists but also make profits. This is beyond doubt under the premise that Gu Hongyu has a cheating tool.

March has not passed yet, and the breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger.

The ice and snow in the Red Lake have almost completely melted. Gu Hongyu plans to build a sightseeing corridor along the lakeshore from the cabin to the bird-watching platform near the swamp. The kind of corridor with a width of more than two and a half meters and covered with glazed tiles on the top.

The ground piles of this corridor are half inserted into the lake and half on the shore. There are long benches for people to rest at a short distance on both sides of the spacious corridor. Tourists can find a place to rest when they are tired while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the corridor. On one side is the rippling waves of the Red Lake, and on the other side are the trees on the lakeshore. These trees are also rare species in the fantasy forest garden. The grassland is near the cabin. Walking on the corridor, you can watch the cute lambs in the grassland up close.

In any case, Gu Hongyu believes that tourists agree with this design. As soon as the idea was put on the Internet, many netizens who follow the dynamics of Honghu Village gave thumbs up, and some people also proposed more novel ideas, which made Gu Hongyu gain a lot for a while.

Let's not talk about these for now. The most talked about thing in Honghu Village recently is the 10,000-acre orchard, because the earliest ripe fruit in the orchard, cherries, is now in the harvest season.

Gu Hongyu selected early-maturing and late-maturing cherry varieties. Most of the cherries on the early-maturing Daihong and Fumi cherry trees are now hanging on the branches like small red lanterns, making people drool at the sight.

When the cherries began to grow to the size of a little finger, many villagers thought that this was the limit of cherries, but within a few days, all the cherries in the orchard grew one head, and most of the cherries were larger than the thumb, reaching the size of the rice dumplings sold in supermarkets now.

Such a scene surprised the family. Seeing that the cherries were about to mature, the family urged Gu Hongyu every day to ask the villagers to take good care of the cherries. One was to start keeping people safe and put up warning signs near the cherry planting area. The second was to let him pay attention to the growth of the cherries at any time. As soon as they matured, they had to be picked, because cherries are one of the fruits that are very difficult to store.

As the administrator of the Xianyuan website, Mei Ning also posted some photos of cherries on the website when the cherries were ripe. This was amazing. Some netizens immediately expressed that they would come to Honghu Village to pick cherries. Some netizens swallowed their saliva at the cherries and strongly asked Mei Ning to mail the cherries, even if the buyer provided the postage. For a while, the cherries became popular.

In fact, Gu Hongyu's price for cherries was already very high. Picking them in the orchard was 200 yuan per catty. But such a price still did not stop those people who kept clamoring. In Gu Hongyu's view, these people only lacked the words "stupid and rich" on their heads.

It is impossible to mail them. Although Honghu Village is well-known. But the postal service here has not yet been extended to Honghu Village. Cherries are already very delicate. Who will be responsible if they go bad during transportation? The most important thing is that these cherries may not be enough to hang on the tree, so why bother with more processes and mailing.

"Hongyu, are the cherries ripe recently?" Chen Luofeng called Gu Hongyu on the first day when he planned to open the orchard to sell cherries.

Gu Hongyu has been doing well recently, and his wedding date is approaching, so he can be considered to be in high spirits.

He smiled and said to the phone: "Yes, I plan to sell it to the public tomorrow. Tourists are around the orchard all day long. Many tourists have reported this problem to me."

"That's great, you can get me 50 kilograms of these cherries. I will go to Honghu Village the day after tomorrow at most, and you can give it to me then." Chen Luofeng made his intention clear.

Gu Hongyu thought about dozens of kilograms of cherries and agreed: "No problem, I will definitely pick the best ones and leave them for you then."

"Haha. Please." Chen Luofeng hung up the phone without saying a few words.

Gu Hongyu had just put down his phone when the ringtone rang again. This time it was Liang Qinghui, who must have come to order cherries as well.

As expected, after the call was connected, Liang Qinghui's deep voice came from the other end: "Hongyu, you didn't tell me that the cherries were ripe. If I hadn't been paying attention to the Xianyuan website of Honghu Village at all times, I would have missed this opportunity."

The meaning between the lines was revealed. Gu Hongyu said with tears and laughter: "Okay. Brother Liang, is it okay for me to pick the best cherries and leave 20 kilograms for you?"

"Haha, I knew Hongyu was a righteous and upright person. But I just heard that you, Luo Feng, gave him 50 kilograms. This..." Liang Qinghui's voice was very obscene when he spoke.

Gu Hongyu finally understood that Chen Luofeng and his brothers might be together now. Isn't it teasing him to call each of them now? So he said unhappily: "Okay, since you guys are all together. Then each family has 50 kilograms of cherries. When can you come and pick them from the tree yourself?"

"We still have to do it ourselves. Hongyu, can you just pick them for us?" Liang Qinghui said shamelessly.

But Gu Hongyu didn't care about this: "The cherries left on the tree are fresh. I'm too busy these two days. Otherwise, I'll sell those cherries to tourists?"

"No, no, no, let's pick them when the time comes. I don't believe that this matter can trouble us brothers!" Liang Qinghui said angrily.

"Well, that's it!" After saying that, Gu Hongyu hung up the phone with a smile.

Picking cherries is not an easy task. Although his cherries are relatively large, there are dozens of them in one kilogram. Fifty kilograms for each brother is enough for them to toss for a while.

When the orchard was opened for sale, the orchard was crowded with people. Tourists who were waiting for the news almost rushed here as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there were many staff members in the orchard. They set up isolation belts around the cherry planting area, and there was an employee standing every few meters to prevent those who wanted to fish in troubled waters from taking advantage of the situation.

Today, Gu Hongyu's family mobilized the whole family. Gu Hongyu first fenced off several cherry trees with good results. These were not only left for Chen Luofeng and his brothers, but also needed to be left for gifts. Although the town and the county did not dare to make any small moves on Honghu Village, Gu Hongyu had to do some social etiquette.

Gu Hongyu still set some rules for the sales of the cherry orchard, that is, each person entered the orchard for 200 yuan. As long as you paid outside, you can eat as much as you want when you enter the cherry orchard. Gu Hongyu believed that almost every tourist who entered could eat a lot, but this was equivalent to a benefit for those tourists who came here from afar.

For the rest of the cherries that were picked and intended to be taken away, the staff would give a small bamboo basket (there are now several shops weaving such bamboo baskets on the Folk Street of Honghu Village, and Gu Hongyu is their big customer). Tourists have to weigh the cherries they take away, and the bamboo basket is a free accessory.

In the first hour, Gu Hongyu's family and many orchard staff only saw people entering the cherry orchard, and almost everyone was reluctant to leave.

Looking at the people who were still swarming towards the orchard, and looking at the people who were already crowded in the orchard, in order to prevent the orchard from being too crowded, Gu Hongyu could only stop the latecomers from entering and explain while doing so.

After calming down here, Gu Hongyu also sneaked into the cherry orchard. There are 2,000 cherry trees of several varieties planted in the 10,000-acre orchard. Now there are 1,000 early-ripening cherry trees covering more than 20 acres. It seems that it still cannot satisfy the tourists' madness.

Gu Hongyu picked some cherries and distributed them to his family. Although this is the third time to eat cherries, the family can't help but praise the taste of the cherries.

"This is the most delicious cherry I have ever tasted." The father took the cherries and put them into his mouth to taste.

"I have never eaten such cherries before. I think it is too bizarre that Xiaoyu ordered 200 yuan per catty a few days ago, but if you ask me to buy it now, I will buy a few catties without saying a word." Mei's father talked to his father.

Mother and Mei's mother also nodded in agreement, but they didn't say anything, still tasting the cherries with their mouths tightly closed. Among the crowd, only Gu Hongyu grabbed several cherries and stuffed them into his mouth without caring, because he liked the feeling of having his mouth full of juice. Mei Ning didn't care, and gently wiped the juice from Gu Hongyu's mouth with a tissue.

After an hour and a half, someone finally came out of the entrance and exit of the cherry orchard. There were not many cherries in the basket, but this person's image at the moment was not much better. He kept burping and holding his stomach with one hand, and said anxiously: "Boss, where is the toilet around here?"

Damn, it turns out that this person is full in there!

If there is a toilet in the cherry orchard, Gu Hongyu viciously guessed whether this kind of person would stay in it for a day.

Pointing to the toilet not far away to this uncle, whether it is the tourists who have not entered the orchard or the orchard staff, they immediately burst into laughter. This is indeed a rather weird anecdote.

Fortunately, the second person who came out looked much better. However, Gu Hongyu, who was more observant, still noticed the faint moaning from the mouth of the 20-year-old girl. This girl also ate too many cherries, but she also picked a lot of cherries in the basket. After paying almost 1,000 yuan, the girl slipped away at a very fast speed.

As time went by, more and more people came out. Gu Hongyu opened a door on the other side to let the latecomers in.

At the end of the day, the 20 acres of cherries were basically picked. This year is the first year that the cherries are large but the number is normal. Based on the income of nearly 4 million yuan a day, Gu Hongyu estimated that the yield of cherries per acre is less than 2,000 kilograms.

But this result has already stunned the whole family. This is only the first year. The fruit trees will grow next year and the fruits will be more. How much profit can be obtained by then!
