After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Chapter 250 Dashi Village Enterprise Development Plan

She hadn't been in this industry in her previous life, so she still had many shortcomings in running a hotel. Fortunately, He Yuanyuan helped her a lot.

But I still saw a lot of problems today. For example, after the guests came, apart from eating and enjoying the scenery, there was actually nothing else fun to make the guests happy.

What did she love doing most when visiting tourist spots in her past life? Taking photos!

But there are no cameras in this world, and if I were to look for an artist...it wouldn't be that easy to find a good artist...

Never mind, let me think about it first… Wait, could she rehearse a performance or something…

This is a good idea. When the guests are bored after dinner in the evening, they can watch a play or a performance.

When I shared this idea with He Yuanyuan, they both shared the same opinion.

But there is no rush for this. We have to keep innovating. Right now, people are just getting addicted to the new dishes and it’s a very popular time. If we launch new activities at this time, Shuxiangju will be overwhelmed.

But we still have to include it in the schedule and find the singing and dancing troupe as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, the guests who had come yesterday came to say goodbye one after another.

In order to express their gratitude for being the first wave of customers at Shuxiangju, Huanxi took a small box of souvenirs made of chili peppers, plus a "pick-up card" that can be used twice.

If you make a reservation for dinner at Shuxiangju during these two visits, you will get a 10% discount.

The guests had not expected such a good thing to happen, and they smiled happily and told them the precautions:

"Dear guests, this pick-up card is unsigned. You can take it back and give it to others or as a gift. Unlike membership cards, there are only four of these. They are gifts to thank you for visiting Shuxiangju's opening. We also hope that you can promote Shuxiangju more."

One of the fat officials took over and said:

"Mrs. Zhao knows how to run a business. The food at Shuxiangju is so delicious, why don't you open a restaurant in town? Wouldn't that make business even more prosperous?"

"You must be joking, Mr. Yuanwailang. Although the food at Shuxiangju is delicious, the scenery is equally important. If we go to town, we won't be able to see the beauty of Shuxiangju. Besides, my children are still young. If we go to town, I won't be able to take good care of them..."

"Indeed, the scenery of Shuxiangju is simply breathtaking. There's no such large land to build on in town. It's just that it's a bit far to get here. If it were closer, I'm afraid I'd have to live here every day."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, what you said makes sense..."

A group of people left Shuxiangju, chatting and laughing. Huanxi watched the crowd go away, and her mouth slowly relaxed. Her face was frozen with laughter...

Hurry up and ask the cleaning staff to clean up the yard, as there are guests who have made reservations arriving tomorrow morning.

Shuxiangju is a one-day trip. You come in the morning of the first day and leave in the morning of the second day. This way the servants in the house can have some rest and don't have to rush.

By April 20th, Shuxiangju had perfectly adapted to this process, and all departments were handling it with ease.

It happened that all the guests for that day had left and there were no guests visiting on the 21st, so Huanxi called a small meeting of all the employees.

"You've all been tired these days, so I'll make it short. Today's meeting is mainly to reward you for your hard work."

Next, He Yuanyuan started speaking. She sat aside to drink tea and observe He Yuanyuan's abilities.

"Shuxiangju has received rave reviews recently, and this is all thanks to your hard work, so Madam is giving you a special reward of two hundred yuan each as hard work compensation. I also hope that you can keep up the good work and continue to shine for our Shuxiangju."

"Also, starting next month, everyone at Shuxiangju will receive their wages."

The people below immediately started whispering to each other. As servants with death bonds, how could they still get paid? Not getting beaten was a blessing...

"Alright, alright! Calm down! Do you still want the reward? Come up and get it if your name is called."

Soon, everyone had two hundred yuan in their hands, even Su Yun, who was sorting medicinal herbs in the backyard.

"The matter of wages was discussed with my wife. Kitchen work is the most tiring, so Chunliu, Xiahe, and the remaining five sisters-in-law in the kitchen will receive 500 wen per month. Each courtyard attendant will receive 500 wen, as they also have to wash the sheets and keep the courtyards clean. Public cleaning will receive 300 wen, and security 400 wen. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. The amount of money was indeed considerable and was calculated based on the work done. There was nothing wrong with it.

Then everyone took the silver and dispersed. Huanxi stood up, patted He Yuanyuan on the shoulder, and said to her:

"Yes, very majestic. I'm relieved to leave Shuxiangju to you from now on."

"Then sister...can I have a raise in salary?" She turned around and put on a flattering smile.

"One tael of silver a month isn't low at all, but it's not bad either. Since you've performed well this month, how about I give you two months' salary as the advance I gave you last time?"

This was equivalent to five months' salary of five taels of silver, which became two months' salary of five taels of silver. He Yuanyuan did a quick calculation and immediately stepped forward to pat Huanxi's shoulders, saying flatteringly:

"Sister, you are so kind. I will be your slave for the rest of my life. If you tell me to go east, I will go east. If you tell me to go west, I will go west..."

Huanxi was tickled by her and pushed her hand away and said with a smile:

"Don't be so rude. If you make a mistake, I'll dock all your wages and make you work for me for nothing for the rest of your life."

"Hehehehe, no, no, I promise to do my duty!"

"Rest well at Shuxiangju. If you're bored, come find me at Zhao's house. I'm going to the village chief's house."

"I want to go too! I want to go too! Sister, please take me with you. I'm almost getting moldy staying at Shuxiangju!"

So the two of them went out. It was almost May, and even the peach blossoms in the village had withered and grown thick leaves. The whole village was green.

This was the busy farming season, and many families had already finished planting rice seedlings. When Huanxi arrived at the village chief's house, he was washing mud off his trouser legs in the yard.

"Girl, you're here? Is this Manager He?"

There have been waves of horse-drawn carriages in the village recently, and even some of the village’s bacon has been bought by some customers.

"It's me, my village chief uncle. Have you just returned?"

"Of course I am. We are planting rice recently. What brings you two here today?"

Huanxi smiled and said, "I wanted to talk about this when I came to your house last time. It just so happens that the village has finished its busy schedule recently, so I came to tell you something good."

"Oh, that's great news. I have to listen to it. Come on, come on, sit down. Don't be polite in your own home."

"Look, I plan to build a workshop and a greenhouse in the village. The most important thing is, as you can see, Shuxiangju has a lot of guests coming and going. Plus, our Dashi Village is beautiful with clear water and picturesque scenery. My idea is to turn our Dashi Village into a tourist resort."

"Tourism? Resort? Girl, explain to me, what is a tourist resort?"

"It's very similar to how Shuxiangju operates. Whether guests come to eat or play, we in Dashi Village entertain them and let them have fun and spend money here."

When the village chief heard this, a new world immediately opened up to him, and he hurriedly asked:

"Then according to you, what should we do?"

"There's no rush for this. We have to work on it slowly. I have many delicious recipes in my hand. When I'm done, I'll rent them out to some honest families in the village and sell them in the village."

"Also, the village is a bit dirty and messy now. There are many pig pens and chicken coops along our main road. They can be moved to other places. Also, the roads in the village should be repaired. But don't worry, I will pay for it and I won't let the village clean up my mess."

In fact, she had a bigger idea. She wanted to demolish the houses on both sides of the main road in the middle of the village, build shops and widen the street.

She didn't really want to say it, but the village chief looked very motivated, so she expressed her thoughts.

"Girl, this is no small matter. The idea is good, but to implement it... I'm afraid it won't be easy..."

But he changed the subject, stood up and said excitedly:

"But leave this matter to me. I'll go find your clan leader, grandfather, and you guys can follow me. To be honest, Shuxiangju is so lively, and there are many people in the village who are jealous."

Huanxi's heart understood that this was inevitable. Not to mention the villagers, even she herself would be jealous if she saw someone in the village opening a restaurant and seeing it doing a booming business.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If she continues to show off like this in the village, it is only a matter of time before she splits up.

However, if you can help them and give them some benefits to get them to join your camp, it will only benefit you, not harm you.

And I do have this idea myself. A single tree can be easily blown down, but a whole forest cannot be blown away by a strong wind.

I still have many street food recipes on hand, so it wouldn't hurt to hand them over to the village. And if we want to promote chili peppers, we need to unite the whole village to ensure that the peppers don't leak out too quickly.

When they arrived at the clan leader's house, the clan leader was so excited that he clapped his hands after listening to Huanxi and He Yuanyuan's plan.

"Girl, you are a great hero of the village. If I weren't your elder, I would have to kowtow to you. Don't worry, I will go and tell you about this matter. Even with my old bones, I will kick anyone who disobeys me out of the family tree!"

Huanxi quickly calmed him down and said:

"Don't worry, clan leader. This is just a contingency plan. Why don't we sit down and carefully draft a plan before telling the villagers? That way, they won't be clueless when asked, right?"

"That's right, look at me, I'm old, but I'm not as patient as you, you didn't stop me even though I have Mao."

The village chief laughed and said:

"If you are so interested, who dares to stop you..."

Finally, a few people sat down to discuss and finalized the plan for the village.

There are a total of eighteen households from the village entrance to Shuxiangju. Each household was demolished according to the population, and the relocation fee was five taels of silver per person, which totaled more than five hundred taels of silver.

Not counting the cost of building new streets, it's almost one thousand taels...

"This... so much? Where did all this silver come from..."

"Don't worry, I'll lend you one thousand taels in my personal name. You can pay me back when the village makes a profit."

She was confident that if it was built, it would only take one or two years to build the thousand taels. With La Jiao in charge, she was very confident.

"One thousand taels, my god, I have never seen so much money in my life. Do you have it, girl?" The patriarch looked at her in disbelief after saying this.

"My Shuxiangju has been profitable for so long, and with the money I made from selling mountain products, it shouldn't be difficult to scrape together a thousand taels. Besides, this is for the good of the village, so I should contribute..."

"After the street is repaired, it needs to be divided into categories, including inns, restaurants, snack stalls, teahouses, theater stages, and preferably some beverage shops for people to rest. Don't worry about the drawings. Give me some time and I can make them. The road also needs to be widened on both sides, preferably to a width of three meters. To get rich, you must first build roads." She continued.

"As for the location of the workshop, it's best to be behind Shuxiangju. The first thing is to keep it secret. If this recipe is leaked, our village will be in vain."

"Of course. This is the lifeblood of our village. If it gets leaked out, I will use the clan law without you even asking."

The more they talked, the clan leader and the village chief looked at each other, and they became more and more clear in their minds.

Their Dashi Village is about to become prosperous...

As soon as the school held a meeting in the afternoon, the whole village was in an uproar, and the first thing to talk about was the demolition.

"This house I've lived in for most of my life is being demolished. Where will I live after it's demolished?"

"That's right, Village Chief. The larger the population, the more they get. There are only three of us in my family, so isn't it only fifteen taels?"

The village chief shouted, "Alright, alright! Stop arguing! Listen to me! If you don't want the money, you can choose not to demolish it, but you still have to abide by the village rules. If you're not satisfied with that, the village can give you travel expenses. Dashi Village won't keep the Big Buddha!"

He used both soft and hard tactics, and the people below began to whisper to each other. At this time, the families with larger populations in the village became active.

Their house is so dilapidated that a family of seven or eight people are squeezed into a few shabby rooms. Five taels of silver per person means dozens of taels... Oh my God, how can they not participate in such a good thing?

However, there are still some stubborn residents who hold onto their houses because they have built them in such a grand style that it is indeed difficult to get them to move.

So the village chief issued a code of conduct to those who were unwilling to move, and several families were subsidized with two taels of silver to move their chicken coops.

After receiving the money, it was time to look at the village plan. Huanxi locked herself in the house for three days. During this time, only He Yuanyuan could go in and talk to her for an hour or two. Finally, one afternoon, she walked out of the house like a zombie, as if all her energy had been sucked out.

She asked Yuanzhen to help her go to the village chief's house and give him the drawing she had drawn.

The village chief wanted to keep her for dinner, but she waved her hand without saying anything and let Yuanzhen help her go home again.

Before the meal was served, she had already fallen asleep on the edge of the bed, snoring loudly.

Yuanzhen came in, moved her to the bed, covered her with a quilt and left.

At midnight, she opened her eyes suddenly and sweat broke out on her head.

He quickly put on his clothes, left a letter on the table, and sneaked into the back mountain through the back door.

"Brother Tai! Xiaobai! Xiaohua!"

She hadn't been in the mountains for a long time and didn't know whether Xiaoqing had ended its hibernation, so she didn't call its name.

"Huanhuan~ I miss you so much~"

A shrill woman's voice came into her ears. She turned her head happily and saw a huge green snake coiled around a branch above the pond, spitting out its tongue.

"Xiaoqing! You're awake!"
