The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 929 Selfish and vain female supporting role 25
In the blink of an eye, it’s Saturday.
The tour group is going to Xiangcheng for a day trip and cherry picking.
“Xiao Xu, we can arrive at your village at about half past nine. Is there a place to park the bus nearby?”
The boss and tour guide Gu Chenyu sent a message to Xu Yin after setting off.
Xu Yin was cleaning fallen leaves in the cherry orchard. The phone in her trouser pocket vibrated twice. She took it out and looked at it, and immediately replied: "Sister Gu, there is a place to park. There is a grain drying field at the entrance of the village. I have already called the village chief. I've said hello, just park there. Let me know when you get there and I'll pick you up."
Hang up the phone and continue to clean up the unfinished area.
At this time, Xu’s father and Xu’s mother came up pushing a cart.
The couple followed their daughter's instructions and set up two folding tables under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the cherry orchard. One had stainless steel tea buckets and disposable paper cups, and the other had several plates of loose pastries.
There is a plastic trash can under each of the two tables, and a circle of plastic stools is placed around the table for tourists to rest.
"Yin Yin, is this okay?" Xu's mother set up the table and chairs and called her daughter to come and check.
“That’s okay, they may not necessarily sit down and rest. At most, they will come over and drink a glass of water when they are thirsty.”
After all, you have paid to pick cherries. There are only two hours of cherry picking in the itinerary. Unless you are really tired, or have little interest in cherries, and just want to accompany your family to embrace nature, you will not sit there. Come down and take a long rest.
“You will lead them to pick cherries for a while, and your dad and I will go back to cook.”
"good."
Xu's father and Xu's mother had nothing else to do, so they went home first to prepare four tables of farm meals for noon.
The banquets are placed in the Xu family's main room and backyard. There are two tables in the main room and two tables in the backyard. After noon, there is no sunlight under the eaves, and it is quite cool with the draft.
But four tables of food were too much for the couple to handle, so Xu Yin asked the village chief's five daughters-in-law to help with washing, cutting, and other chores. Each of them was given 80 yuan for the help.
The village chief originally refused to accept it, but Xu Yin said that he might still accept tour groups in the future. If there are too many people, it will be too busy, so he will definitely ask the aunts and uncles in the village for help. He can't refuse to accept the money again and again.
"Grandpa, village chief, if this model works, other people's orchards can also introduce tourism projects. Our village has many kinds of fruits. We can receive tourists in spring, summer and autumn. Even in winter, we can receive plum blossom appreciation groups. We are too busy. I will definitely find a cook, and there will be a transparent price for the help, so no one will suffer."
The village chief thinks this seems to be the case.
"Actually, a travel agency came to our village last year and asked if we wanted to cooperate with them, but I heard from people in Wangjing Village that in order to boost business, the tour groups quoted very low prices and made little profit. Moreover, the tourists were not very quality-minded and made a lot of noise when they came. Yes, fruits are picked indiscriminately and garbage is thrown away. If you had told me in advance, I would have advised you not to take the tour group business."
Xu Yin nodded: "I have considered everything you said. No matter what, give it a try. Trial and error is also a necessary stage in development. If it doesn't work, I won't take it anymore."
Other families heard that Xu Yin’s family had picked up a tour group, and forty people would come to pick cherries soon. They couldn’t help but feel worried for Xu Yin’s family.
"Didn't Wangjing Village next door receive several waves of tourists last year? I heard that they didn't make much money, and the orchards were ruined to the point of being unsightly. It doesn't cost money to pick and eat whatever you want, so those tourists can just pick as much as they like, and then throw them away after two bites. , the garden was full of garbage after we left... Sigh, Mingkang's cherries are originally small varieties with very tender skin, so I'm afraid they will suffer now."
“Mingkang’s daughter made the wrong decision this time.”
“Come on, come on! My grandson said that there is a tour bus parked at the grain drying farm. Is it the tour group Mingkang’s family picked up?”
“Let’s go! Take a look!”
“Is your orchard not alive today?”
…”
How can working be as fun as eating melons?
The villagers walked along the village road in twos and threes. Before they reached the village entrance, they saw Mingkang's daughter waving a small flag of a tour group and leading a huge tourist group towards them. Wearing a small microphone on her collar, she explained the history of Xiangcheng and the origin of the orchard in a clear and concise tone:
"According to the records in "Mountain Cities Collection", Xiangcheng, an ancient town with beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery, has been inhabited by humans as far back as the Neolithic Age... During the war years, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was almost isolated from the outside world. This is the book The described paradise is that behind the village and mountains, there is a valley with a stream and peach trees planted on both sides. In spring, peach blossoms bloom and grasses are colorful, which is very similar to the scenery described in the text "Peach Blossom Spring"..."
The villagers looked at each other:
“Really? When did our village have such a beautiful place?”
"I remembered, are they by the stream in the back mountain col? There are indeed two old peach trees there. They must have been there for decades. They only bloom but don't bear fruit. If they can't get some shade in the summer, the children will go to the stream. It would have been chopped off long ago if it wasn’t exposed to the sun while playing.”
…”
Xu Yin was still describing the beauty of Xiangcheng: "Our town is surrounded by mountains. Although it is cold in winter, there is rarely the northwest wind because it is blocked by the barrier-like mountains; although the temperature is also high in summer, But the temperature difference is large, so it won’t be very hot at night. There are still many people in our village who don’t have air conditioners, so they turn on fans and cover themselves with blankets at night..."
Village: Isn’t it because we don’t have air conditioners because we are poor and can’t afford air conditioners? As for turning on the fans and covering them with blankets, those are all done by elderly men and women. Ask young people, who would sleep under a blanket in the summer?
Gu Chenyu saw that Xu Yin spoke in more detail and vividly than she did, so she was happy to let Xu Yin take over the task of accompanying them. She walked behind to accompany two retired elderly couples.
This car is basically for a family with two children. There are only four elderly people, all of whom are retired teachers from universities.
Before going up the mountain, Xu Yin handed out a small sachet to each of the children who were holding the hands of their parents and looking around curiously: "There are many flying insects in the mountains, and children's skin is tender, so they may be bitten. This is the mosquito repellent sachet I prepared myself. The insect repellent effect is very good, and it can be hung around the neck or wrist.”
“It’s so delicious!” The five or six-year-old child couldn’t put it down when he saw the sachet. “This one is Huahua.”
“I am a fox.”
“I am a puppy.”
“I am also a Huahua, I like this Huahua so much.”
The sachets that girls get are all flowers, flowers of different shapes; the ones that boys get are small animals.
With this little gadget, I don’t feel tired on the way up the mountain. I don’t need to be carried by my parents. Several children walked together and compared their respective sachets with great interest.
Xu Yin continued to act as a tour guide: "Come on! If you hold on a little longer, we will arrive at the cherry orchard soon. My cherries are the only small agate cherries in the village. They are sweet and delicious, have high nutritional value, and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. , the health care effect is also very good. However, the skin of small cherries is thin and delicate, and it will be bruised when picking with a little weight. If you want to taste the best taste, be sure to handle it gently when picking."
“Auntie, is Little Cherry really easily injured?” A little girl raised her head and asked crisply.
Xu Yin touched her head: "That's right! Little cherries are like children, very fragile. When you pick them with too much force, or if you throw them too heavy into the basket, they will be bruised. After the bruises, the little cherries will be bruised. It’s not as tasty.”
“Then I will pick it gently.”
“So good!”
Xu Yin rewarded her with a refreshing thirst-quenching handmade mint.
Look at the other children, are there any candies? He immediately raised his little hands high and rushed to express his position:
“I also pick it gently.”
“I will pick it gently like my mother gives me a bath.”
“I will pick it gently like grandma applying incense to me.”
Xu Yin is very happy, this is a competition to make sentences and write essays.
There was also a little girl who couldn't think of anything to say, so she simply said: "I will pick it gently like my father kisses my mother."
The little boy next to her retorted: "Wrong! You must be wrong! Dad is not young at all when he kisses mother. She is very energetic."
