After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Today's Chestnut Valley is really not what it used to be. In the past, the joint defense office patrolled by walking on two legs, but now there are battery sightseeing cars—this car is a dual-purpose car, with patrol members sitting in front and behind. , the empty seat in the middle can also give tourists a ride, scan the QR code to pay, and you can run around the whole village for only two yuan. Many tourists who don’t want to walk will wait for the sightseeing car on the side of the road and watch it around. After that, I just went back to my room and continued playing with my phone.

Not long after getting in the car, Jiang Xiaoman, who is so socially obsessed, made friends with several team members on the spot: Chestnut Valley is basically surnamed Shan, and there are a few surnamed Lang. Jiang Xiaoman's cousin or cousin, Jiang Xiaoman has a sweet mouth, and after a while, his arms are full of fruit snacks that his cousin or cousin bought for him along the way.

"I've graduated from college..." Jiang Xiaoman stuffed the snacks that he couldn't fit into his bag with tears and laughter, and the rest that didn't fit well were shared among the people in the car. Did he treat him like a child? ?

"You are still young, don't say you have graduated from university, even if you graduated from graduate school, you are also a junior!" Another uncle waved his hand and decided on the spot to "hijack" Jiang Xiaoman to his home for dinner tonight.Brother Shanrong only said that drinking is not allowed, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to invite others to dinner.

Besides, can sweet rice wine be considered wine?

"Next time, I'm really not being polite to you, cousin. I came to the village this time with the hope of the whole village. I have asked cousin Shanrong to help me make an appointment with Boss Tang. Boss Tang said that she will be at four o'clock I don’t know how long the chat will last when I’m free in the future, Cousin Shan Rong said he would invite Boss Tang to his house for dinner, and I’ll definitely accompany him when the time comes, and we’ll go to your house for dinner next time.” Jiang Xiaoman hastened I explained it, otherwise the newly recognized cousin would probably call the family to go to the market to buy food soon.

Hearing that he came this time to find Tang Xinlan on behalf of the village, the people in the car all showed expressions of "it really is so", and the uncle patted his little shoulder with emotion: "You guys, early! It's time to find Boss Tang, he has so many projects in his hands, and he has been looking for places to invest in these few years, and this money is earned by outsiders, it is better to let your relatives earn it."

Jiang Xiaoman smiled and said nothing. He was still in college a few years ago. Even if he wanted to come back and build his hometown, if he dared to drop out of school, his father would stop him.

Following the patrol car in Chestnut Valley, Jiang Xiaoman took a tour of the whole village.

Chestnut Valley is much more lively during the day than at night. Jiang Xiaoman even saw tourists wearing mosquito-proof clothing and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with the villagers. After asking, they just wanted to experience life. Going to the mountain to pick mushrooms is fun. Not to mention, you can exchange money after picking it off the mountain. This amount of money is nothing to guests who can afford to stay in a homestay that costs thousands of nights, but it’s fun after all, and it’s so fresh to tell!Others spend money traveling, they still make money.

The pickle experience shop in the village is also very lively. There used to be only a temporary small workshop here. Later, many tourists who came here wanted to experience making pickles by themselves. The village party secretary Shen Kaiping simply pulled Boss Tang to invest together and set up a pickle experience in the village. The store imitates the model of Zhangjia Village, with a store in front and a factory in the back. In addition to the factory building, there is also a pickle making workshop specially for tourists to experience. The mushroom sauce made by tourists can be bottled and packaged on the spot.

Jiang Xiaoman looked here for a long time, envious of this experiential shopping mode.

The quality of their local honey is also very good. Basically, they will repurchase unlimited times if they have tasted it. In the future, if the road is repaired, he will also open such an experiential factory in the village. At that time, it will be built next to the mountain. Plant all the flowers, and then put the beehives!Tourists can cut and shake honey by themselves. This kind of honey is definitely genuine and unadulterated. The experience store in front will hold some experience items, such as making honey grapefruit tea and honey lemon tea on the spot. Yes, it can also drive fruit sales by the way.

The mountainous land on their side is very suitable for growing grapefruit and lemon and other fruits. At that time, the local people can be mobilized to grow these two kinds of fruits, which can be sold to tourists, and the unsold ones will be recycled by the factory, and then made into bottled grapefruit tea and Lemon tea, or the freeze-dried honey lemon slices that are very popular now, as long as there is a market, ordinary people can follow and make money.

Coming out of the pickle factory, Jiang Xiaoman followed the sightseeing bus to the tourist service center in the village. Looking at the ingeniously designed tourist service center, Jiang Xiaoman thought to himself, no wonder people from all over the world say that Chestnut Valley is really good in recent years. Send it, take a look at this service center!

The whole is a super-large mushroom-shaped building complex. The largest mushroom-shaped building in the middle is the service hall, which contains ticket offices, medical rooms, express service points, souvenir shops, and toilets. There are several small mushrooms next to it. , Some are designed as children's playgrounds, some are designed as mini book bars, coffee shops, snack bars, etc., and there is even a small shop that rents ethnic costumes and Hanfu for tourists to take pictures!

Jiang Xiaoman turned around twice and found that basically as long as he entered the village, tourists can spend a long time here, and the price is not as outrageous as some scenic spots. Minced meat biscuits cost three yuan a piece outside, and five yuan a piece here. ; The children's playground can play for a whole day for 15 yuan, and there is also iced American coffee for [-] yuan a cup, which is really cheap!

What caught his eyes even more was the corridor in the middle of the mushroom-shaped building, all of which were designed as embedded self-service vending machines. The glass showcases displayed all kinds of rattan, straw, and bamboo handcrafts. Handicrafts, as well as some New Year pictures, are clearly marked with prices, and you can scan the QR code to pay if you like them. A key will drop out of the self-service vending machine, and you can use the key to open the glass showcase and take the things away.

This is fine!Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and decided to turn around and ask his cousin if the village accepts consignment sales. If he accepts it, he can also put the local embroidery from Langshan here, which can be used as decorative paintings and consignment sales. Isn't there another sales channel?

In addition to the large-scale facilities in the village, the B&Bs and farmhouses in Chestnut Valley are also doing better, at least beyond Jiang Xiaoman's imagination, especially the farmhouses here. I didn't expect that the farmhouse here has other services.

For example, some can provide short-term tour guide services such as taking people up the mountain to pick wild mushrooms and set rabbits, some can provide tourists with chartered cars to take them to surrounding towns and towns for fun, and some are even more fun, even providing "half-day rural fairs" "Travel" service, only needs a service fee of 50 yuan per capita, and locals can take them to Daji to eat, drink and have fun. You can also have locals help you bargain for things. This service is very popular... I have to say , the folks in Chestnut Valley are really "making money in a good way"! ! !

It was almost noon, and the patrol team was going back to the village committee cafeteria for dinner. Jiang Xiaoman got off the car near the entrance of Shan Rong's house, and when he got home, his cousin and aunt had already prepared lunch.

There are guests at home, so except for the cousin who is on the night shift upstairs to catch up on sleep, everyone else came back for dinner. Jiang Xiaoman was quite embarrassed, but fortunately he will go back tomorrow, but Jiang Xiaoman secretly decided to wait When he came back from school, he must find an opportunity to invite his cousin's family to have a meal at home. They treated him so well, no matter whether he talked with Boss Tang this time or not, he would always repay the favor.

Jiang Xiaoman didn't go out after dinner, and shut himself in the room silently. To be honest, this was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with a boss as big as Tang Xinlan. He was still a little nervous, and people would definitely ask himself why It would be too embarrassing to go to her and directly say that you want to find someone for alms, and want to ask someone to invest in a project in your village.

But if they didn't tell the truth, the two didn't know each other, and they couldn't even find an excuse to chat.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoman finally understood why Grandma Liu blushed with embarrassment when she entered the Grand View Garden in Dream of the Red Chamber, and now he also feels his ears burning.But no matter how embarrassing he was, he had to open his mouth. Even if it was... even if it was to let the children in the village primary school eat a few more meals of meat every month, he would try his best to fight for it this time.

Before it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Shanrong called: "Boss Tang's meeting ended early, please prepare, and I will bring her home later. Boss Tang is very kind, if you have any difficulties, Just tell her face to face."

Jiang Xiaoman nodded nervously, thinking that Shanrong could not be seen through the phone, he quickly answered again, after hanging up the phone, he carefully thought about what Shanrong old uncle said just now, and he couldn't help feeling warm, he knew, the last sentence, It should be that the old uncle deliberately said it in front of Boss Tang, probably because he was afraid that he would lose face when he was young, and he was embarrassed to say some complaints.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what is there to say?In this world, is there anything more embarrassing than being poor?

With the money, he could let his father live in a large rural villa like Ligou, where the air conditioner could be turned on all night in winter, so why would he be afraid of cold legs?

With money, he can buy as much meat as he wants for the children in the village primary school!It wouldn't be like now, to eat a bowl of stewed potatoes with pork belly, and you have to search for a long time.

Making up his mind, Jiang Xiaoman secretly cheered himself up, if not, just treat Tang Xinlan as his cousin, don't complain in front of strangers, he doesn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment to his relatives and elders, okay?

But what he didn't expect was that his first interview with Tang Xinlan went extremely smoothly.

Tang Xinlan is really a very easy-going and gentle person, and he looks a few years older than him, probably because he is a relative of Shanrong. Tang Xinlan was taken aback when he saw him, and then jokingly teased Shanrong's uncle: "Shanrong Old village head, this child does not look like your family, but looks like a child from the city, pure and white."

Shanrong liked to hear these words, so he showed off on the spot: "Isn't it? Our Xiaoman is a high-achieving student at the University of S! The key undergraduate course! If it wasn't for the poor family, there is an old man who needs someone to take care of him when he is young. You have melon seeds in your head, and you can get a Ph.D. without any problem!"

All of a sudden, the topic turned to Jiang Xiaoman's family background.

Jiang Xiaoman felt that, in terms of social bullying alone, he really looked a bit like someone from Shan Rong's uncle's family.
