From wilderness to palace

Chapter 108 Eighth Uncle's 'Tucao'

Looking at the mighty team entering the mountain early in the morning, Liu Zhong and his party stood at the entrance of the village watching, and felt that this scene was indeed very fresh.For Kaoshantun, which was peaceful and peaceful in the past, it seems to be getting busier day by day.

Judging from the reception of these young tourists yesterday, Liu Zhong felt that these young people seemed to be quite talkative, not as squeamish as imagined.I didn't comment on the board and lodging treatment they provided, but gave a lot of praise on the contrary.

Just thinking that there may still be tourists coming today, Liu Zhong also said to the village officials around him: "When we go back, each family will clean up the rooms where the tourists have slept, and take out the bedding to dry or wash them. I am afraid that there will be tourists coming later. .”

"Ah! Then today, I have to go to the town to buy some meat. There is no meat at home."

"Don't be in a hurry to go to the town, it won't be too late to wait. I don't know if there are any tourists coming today. Even if there are tourists, how many people will come. There are really too many people coming, Azu may not entertain them come here."

"That's right! We are in the village. If we need anything, we can just ride a bicycle to the town or city to buy it. He is in the mountains, although he has carried a lot of ingredients into the mountains. But when there are too many people, I am afraid that the food will not be able to eat. how long."

"I really don't understand what these young people are thinking. They let us have a good life in the city, but they still come here to drill ravines. What's there to drill in this mountain? When it rains heavily in the mountains, I'm afraid they will be drowned oh!"

For the arrival of these young tourists, some village leaders think it is a good thing, and some village leaders feel that they have caused a lot of trouble to the village.Fortunately, these village cadres are well aware that Liu Yaozu can't be blamed for this kind of thing, it's these tourists who make their own decisions.

As the head of the village, Liu Zhong also knew that this kind of thing would be troublesome at first.After all the work is straightened out in the future, maybe the situation will improve a lot.At least he knew that Fifth Uncle Liu Shoushan had called his son back.

If receiving tourists can really make money, maybe the attitude of the villagers will be different from what it is now.If there are tourists visiting Kaoshantun every day, it may also benefit the villagers of Kaoshantun.

Among other things, the villagers who just opened the grocery store have been smiling for the past two days.The reason is very simple. The arrival of these young tourists has brought a lot of business to his small shop, and the drinks and drinks are all sold out.

If there are tourists coming to the village every day in the future, the things he buys will be more high-end than now, and the profits he can make will be correspondingly higher.And Liu Zhong also knew that tourists would also buy some souvenirs when they left.

For example, the dried mushrooms dried by the villagers, as well as the smoked bacon and even local eggs in the villagers’ homes. While selling to tourists at a good price, they can also generate more income for the villagers.Who wouldn't be happy when there is money to be made?

No matter what Liu Zhong and the others thought in their hearts, they were powerless to stop the tourists from coming, and they definitely couldn't ignore these tourists who came from afar.Regardless of whether you can make money, this is also a basic etiquette!

On the other hand, Xu Dazhuang, who was leading people into the mountain at the moment, basically had nothing to say when faced with inquiries from young tourists.But after asking too many questions, Xu Dazhuang was speechless and said: "These young people, why are we so good at chatting? Are they all chatty?"

In contrast, Liu Shouyi, the eighth uncle who walked at the back of the line, seemed more relaxed.Even if he went into the mountains this trip, he would carry a lot of things on his back.But compared with these young people, he thought he would not be worse than them.

As for Xu Suying, one of the three guides, she stayed with the young women among the tourists.For the young women who accompanied the companions, it was natural to see a young girl among the guides.

Taking the opportunity of rushing into the mountains, they chatted with Xu Suying one after another, inquired about some things in the mountains, and learned more about Liu Yaozu.When it comes to Liu Yaozu, Xu Suying is more cautious.

If it is inconvenient to answer, she will smile and say: "I am not from the same village as him. He is familiar with my dad, and I have just returned to my hometown not long ago. This time I was called here, and I also followed the study and helped with cooking. .”

Even Xu Suying already knew a lot about Liu Yaozu's family background from her parents and other villagers.But when it comes to this kind of personal privacy, she still feels that she can't say it.Besides, Liu Yaozu is her 'master' now anyway
When we first entered the mountain, young people were chatting and even taking pictures while walking.When the team marched for two hours, some young people in the team began to become out of breath.I lamented the difficulty of walking on the mountain road, but also felt that my legs were weak.

Seeing this scene, Liu Shouyi also said at the right time: "Dazhuang, find a place in front to rest for a while!"

"Take a break? That's fine too! It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to have lunch on time."

"It's okay! With their current speed, it's impossible to reach the Red Leaf Forest today. Let's go to Shelter No. [-] to rest for a night, and continue on the road after breakfast tomorrow."

"Alright! Let's take a rest at the edge of the rocky cliff in front! The scenery in that place is also pretty good!"

I remembered what Liu Yaozu told him before, to be a qualified guide, one must also learn to give tourists proper rest time.When choosing a place for temporary rest, it is best to find some places with good scenery, so that tourists can see more beautiful scenery in the mountains.

When we arrived at the place where we could rest, a tourist soon asked, "Uncle Zhuang, isn't Shelter No. [-] near the mountain? How come we haven't arrived yet after walking for almost two hours on the mountain road? It's not close, is it?"

Facing the questioning Xu Dazhuang, although he really wanted to keep going at this speed, he was afraid that he would not even be able to catch up with lunch.I just thought that these are tourists, they are here for sightseeing, and they still need to be treated politely.

In the end, he explained patiently: "If you walk there empty-handed, it will take about two or three hours to walk from the village to Shelter No. [-]. This journey is also the area we often go to when we go into the mountains, because it is closer to home.

Now we carry things on our backs, and our speed is not fast.And you are all newcomers, so you are not very familiar with the conditions in the mountains and the road conditions.To ensure safety, I did not dare to go too fast.Now, it's almost half the distance! "

As soon as these words came out, those young people who were panting while sitting on their backpacks suddenly got a little hairy and said, "Uncle Zhuang, how far is the red leaf forest from the No. [-] shelter? We will go there tomorrow, don't we have to travel another day?"

"According to this speed, it is estimated to be about the same. However, if we rest for one night in the No. [-] shelter today and start on the road again tomorrow, our burden will be reduced a lot. If we want to go to the red leaf forest to see the scenery, I am afraid that we will have to work hard."

Unlike Xu Dazhuang who acted as the team leader temporarily, Liu Shouyi, who was older, was also rational and did not speak much.In his opinion, facing these curious baby-like tourists, he sometimes feels a headache when dealing with them.

In contrast, the father and daughter of the Xu family seemed more competent as guides.Even though walking the mountain road is very hard, everyone feels very relieved when they actually arrive at the destination.The environment of the No. [-] shelter is better than expected.

Since there were six girls in the team, they looked at the size of the shelter and finally decided that they would all sleep in the cabin tonight.In addition to the wooden bed set up in advance, the space in the house was cleaned up, and the six girls could also sleep there.

Liu Shouyi, who had not talked much on the road before, now began to join forces with Xu Suying to prepare delayed lunch for these tourists.On the other hand, Xu Dazhuang, who was working harder, led several young people who volunteered to fetch water from the stream below.

Looking at the buckets placed next to the shelter, many young people are still interested in taking pictures.Liu Shouyi, who was cooking, as an older generation, couldn't help but want to roll his eyes when he saw this scene.

On the contrary, Xu Suying, who helped chop the vegetables, also suppressed her voice and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, they are all from the city. They probably haven't seen such a wooden bucket when they grow up so old. It feels fresh and normal!"

"That's right! They're all city kids who are well-informed, but I don't think it's a big deal!"

For things like the generation gap, if you want to explain it clearly in a few words, I'm afraid it's not very possible.Fortunately, he was used to banquets and was in charge of cooking for more than 30 tourists. Liu Shouyi also seemed very busy, but his speed was still very high.

Carrying out the tables, chairs and benches that Liu Yaozu made before, Xu Dazhuang also said at the right time: "The conditions in the mountains are limited, and I didn't expect so many people to come at once, so I didn't make much preparations. Everyone will just settle for the meal."

"It's okay! So many people eat deliciously, and eating standing up is also more helpful for digestion!"

"Although I have camped and had picnics in the wild many times, this is really the first time I have experienced such a big scene, and it is quite memorable!"

Living in the wild, food and accommodation must not be so perfect.Fortunately, these young people have no complaints about such an environment and conditions.In the final analysis, they came without warning, which in themselves caused trouble for Liu Yaozu.

It is already very good to invite someone to lead them into the mountain, and arrange for them to enter the mountain with food and accommodation.Really want them to solve the problem of board and lodging in the mountains by themselves.Maybe it's fine, but it definitely won't be as easy and comfortable as it is now.

Many tourists found the cauldron dishes fried by Liu Shouyi very delicious.Although the appearance is very ordinary, the taste is still very good.In addition, after walking for a whole morning, the food is naturally more delicious when I am already hungry.

"It's delicious! Uncle Yi's craftsmanship is beyond words!"

"As expected of a folk chef, Azu invited you to be a guide. You are indeed the right person."

Hearing the praise of these tourists, Liu Shouyi also felt quite relieved.Although these young people sometimes seem unreliable, or even seem to have never seen the world, their etiquette and politeness are still worthy of praise.

Looking at the meals that were swept away by the young people, Liu Shouyi also felt that these young people were quite powerful in fighting, and they also gave him face as a chef.But next, he has to think about it, and prepare dinner for them after night falls.

On the other hand, the young people who finished their meal started to set up tents in the camping area that had been opened and cleared according to the guidance of Xu Dazhuang's father and daughter.Tonight, they will all spend the night in their own tents, so naturally this accommodation must be packed in advance.

After setting up the tents and making special preparations when they came, some young people began to go fishing in small groups at the foot of the mountain.I saw Liu Yaozu fishing in the creek earlier, and they came here this time to experience it for themselves!
