Joe's Farming

After the wedding, Bai Lan and Su Qing began to prepare for the opening of the villa.

Xiaobai and Dazhuang also started to get busy with the preserved egg shop business.

Hong Ge'er and his group of new recruits have already completed their three-day probation period.

Both the villa and the preserved egg shop were assigned new people.

Long-term workers were arranged to take care of the fish pond and lotus roots, and chickens and ducklings were also bought. All these people were handed over to Gu Gang for management.

Of course, the cows and sheep were also bought and handed over to Song Xiaoyu.

Because the children have to go to school every day now, Sesame, Ice Cream and their mother are also handed over to Song Xiaoyu.

Song Xiaoyu can finally make use of her strengths.

Everything is on track and it’s time for the villa to open.

Qiao Yu named the villa Lingyun Villa.

Gu Feng thought it sounded nice, and on the very day he chose it, he went to find a carpenter to customize a plaque, which he wanted to be gold-plated to be hung on the gate of the villa.

Three days before the opening, snack bar No. 1 and No. 2 stores began to promote Lingyun Villa.

Li Li'niang and Wen'er have been running the store for so long that they know exactly which of their regular customers are the wealthy ones.

So a concise and clear invitation letter designed by Li Xin was sent to them.

However, Ueda Village is quite far away, and only a few guests agreed to come.

Xu Yuan had been looking forward to celebrating the opening and staying for a few nights in his own small courtyard next to the villa.

So after breakfast, he took Xu Ning and Xu's father and mother and set off.

At the Gu family's side, Gu Feng sent the children to school early in the morning.

After coming back, I went to the villa with Qiao Yu.

Gu Gang, Hong Xiu and Li Xin had already started helping out there.

At the door were several flower stands that Li Xin forced Da Zhuang to build. Li Xin wrapped wet soil with rags and filled them with wild lilies, irises and unknown small yellow flowers that he found from somewhere.

It is estimated that they borrowed the staff of the villa.

Although it is messy, it looks full of vitality and makes people feel better when they see it.

"Li Xin, is this the opening flower basket?"

Qiao Yu smiled and joked.

Li Xin raised his head: "Yeah! How is it? Is my aesthetic taste good?"

Qiao Yu looked at the orange-pink wild lilies and the blue-purple irises and nodded vigorously: "Yeah! Fauvism uses strong colors, very impressive."

Gu Feng heard the new term and asked Qiao Yu what it meant.

Qiao Yu pulled him aside and whispered to him, "It means to read the newspaper (it's not good)."

Gu Feng raised the corner of his mouth, teasing Li Xin's husband is so cute.

After receiving the compliment, Li Xin placed the "flower baskets" in a row at the door.

In this era, "flower baskets" for grand openings are still a rare thing, and guests who come will be very considerate and praise them for being beautiful.

Considering that most diners are not familiar with the names of the dishes, the main ingredients of each dish are stated on the menu.

For guests who are not very literate, Hong Ge'er and his friends will explain everything.

Before serving the dishes, Qiao Yu prepared appetizers for each table.

In addition to fried peanuts, there are also fried locust flowers.

Bai Lan improved on Qiao Yu's fried mulberry leaves and made this dish, which is not only innovative but also unique.

It has also been well received by the guests.

Xu Yuan's family tasted it for the first time. Xu Yuan thought it was delicious and gave Xu Ning a lot. However, Qiao Yu reminded him that locust flowers are cold in nature and Xu Ning should not eat too much.

Xie Changyu was the last to arrive. This time he brought not only his wife, but also his eight-year-old son Xie Tianyu.

Xie Changyu looked around and didn't see the three children, so he asked Qiao Yu: "Qiao brother, where are your children? I brought my son here today."

Qiao Yu apologized, "The children have gone to school. Doesn't your son need to go today?"

Xie Changyu: "To be honest, Tianyu is a little special, so my wife and I hired a teacher to teach him at home."

Qiao Yu nodded, thinking that Xie Tianyu was ill.

Autism? ADHD?

But Xie Tianyu has bright eyes and white teeth, and looks like a very smart and normal young boy.

However, Qiao Yu didn't feel comfortable asking more questions, and warmly invited them to a window seat in the lobby, next to Xu Yuan's family.

After most of the guests had arrived, Gu Feng and Gu Gang went to the open space outside the villa to set off firecrackers, and Lingyun Villa was officially opened.

Because we couldn't find a suitable chef.

The job of chef is temporarily shared by Bai Lan and Su Qing.

The dishes at the villa are a bit like those of modern farmhouses, mainly firewood chicken, grilled fish, and iron pot stews. When there is an adequate supply of mutton, they will serve roasted mutton and shabu-shabu mutton.

Of course there were stir-fried dishes, but they had never eaten firewood chicken, so they naturally ordered whatever Qiao Yu recommended.

One family even booked a two-night stay and planned to order something different for each meal.

Qiao Yu smiled not very modestly and said, "If I want to finish ordering, I'll probably have to stay a few more days."

Guest: "Okay, I'll extend my stay then."

His wife argued with him, saying that it would cost two hundred coins for one night and his family was not as wealthy as the Xu family.

After greeting the guests, Qiao Yu returned to the backyard to rest, where a lounge chair was also prepared.

Gu Feng asked him if he was tired.

Qiao Yu shook her head: "Not tired. It's just that there are not as many guests as expected today. In addition to A Yuan and County Magistrate Xie's family, there are only five tables."

Qiao Yu sighed: "I don't know when I can get my money back."

Gu Feng was not worried at all: "Our home is far from the town, and many people don't want to come. The families you see all have carriages. How many families in our town have carriages?"

Qiao Yu thought about it and realized that it was true. Even if the gourmets in the town wanted to eat, they couldn't walk for two hours just to have a good meal.

"Qiao'er, how about this? We haven't used our ox cart much lately. We can park it in front of the snack bar every day. Anyone who wants to come over to eat can pull it over. After they're done, we'll take them back."

Gu Feng’s suggestion is very good.

However, the price of Lingyun Villa is not low, and those who can afford it certainly don’t want to ride in a ox cart.

"Brother Gu, your idea is great, but the oxcart won't work. Our villa wants to do business with the rich, so we'll just use our horse-drawn carriage to pick them up. Anyone who comes to eat or stay will be picked up for free. You can also talk to Lin Da and Lin Er. If someone is really willing to come here by their carriage, we'll charge the normal fee."

Maybe if their villa becomes popular in the future, they can even open a special car route.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

After chatting with Gu Feng, Qiao Yu suddenly felt enlightened.

Inconvenient transportation is a disadvantage of his family, but in fact, those who are willing to spend money to stay in the villa for a night definitely have no shortage of cars.

If you just want to eat, his horse-drawn carriage and Lin University’s horse-drawn carriage or ox-drawn cart can satisfy your needs.

So there's not much to worry about.

It’s just that the eloquence of the newcomers is indeed a bit uneven.

"Li Xin!"

Qiao Yu shouted to Li Xin who was helping to serve the dishes.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Write them some reception scripts that you think sound good tonight, and train them all every morning."

"what?"

Li Xin's face fell when he heard that he had to get up early. Before, the children and Da Zhuang got up early to do exercises, but he only persisted for two days and then gave up.

If it weren't for having a bite of breakfast, he would have slept until noon.

"Don't want to? Then don't come to my house for free meals in the future."

"Yes! Yes! I'll write it when I get back!"
