In the windy little restaurant, there was still some business around noon, and two or three tables of tourists-looking people were chatting and laughing, drinking coffee, eating, and taking photos.
Of course, you don’t have to look like a tourist. After all, people in this village will definitely not come here to drink coffee or eat fast food. This is because the people left in the village are either older or younger. They don’t have the spare money and don’t like to drink. The rest of the main consumer force is the educated ones who are studying abroad and working as migrant workers in the new era. The uneducated ones are naturally engaged in heavy manual labor in the city, or manual labor with a certain technical content, which is normal. Migrant Workers.
Nana was playing with a row of very clean machines behind the bar at the door, including coffee machines, milk tea machines, juicers and so on. The boss, Xie Xiaochun, was running a microwave nearby, heating the prepared food sold in the store, and occasionally had to pay attention to the children running around inside and outside the store.
Children are like this. The busier they are, the more they go there. They like to be lively, but they can't help but cause some trouble to their parents. But if the children don't make trouble in front of them, parents should be anxious and worried.
"Little gourd, national treasure, can you guys rest for a while? Go wash your hands and then come back and sit down. I will prepare lunch for you later." Xie Xiaochun was a little angry, but he still restrained himself and discussed patiently.
Xiao Hulu is Xie Xiaochun's daughter. She is a little girl with a bun in her hair. She is about four years old. She is so small that it is a good time for cats to hate dogs.
The child who had been working for a long time was of course very active in eating. The little one raised his hand and said, "I want to eat pancakes and fruit salad."
With her taking the lead, several other children chirped in response.
"Okay, okay, I have everything. Go and wash your hands quickly, otherwise no one will be able to eat. Go quickly." Xie Xiaochun agreed with a smile and waved his hand to urge them.
The little gourd greeted the friends and took the lead to lead them to the pool outside to wash their hands. The little guy is not big and doesn't have much field of vision. He only cares about walking around, so naturally he doesn't have time to look at people.
A reckless child will of course bump into an adult who enters the store unprepared. When the little gourd felt the shadow shrouded in it, it was already too late to brake.
In the flash of lightning that her little head, which was not very big, had no time to think about, she shouted, her eyes blurred and her heart became empty. When she came back to her senses, she was looking at the face in front of her with a warm smile.
"Children, you have to watch the road when you walk. It will be bad if you fall." Wang Yan said with a smile, holding 35 or 6 pounds with both arms straight and a confused expression.
Perhaps because he was not used to the air of more than 1.8 meters, or perhaps because he was being held by a stranger and didn't know what to do, the little gourd was a little stunned for a moment.
Xie Xiaochun came over and slapped his daughter's butt gently: "It's been a very busy day. I almost bumped into someone now. Say sorry to uncle."
Only then did Xiao Gourd react and whispered: "I'm sorry, uncle."
"It's okay, kid." Wang Yan put the little girl down, rubbed her little head again, and looked up at Xie Xiaochun, "Isn't it your child?"
"You are really right, he is my child." Xie Xiaochun looked at the little gourd who took the lead and ran out, then turned around and went back to continue doing things.
Xu Hongdou, who was following Wang Yan, took a few steps forward and stood in front of the bar: "Are you married? The child must be four or five years old, right? I really didn't see it."
"Not only are they married, they are also divorced." Xie Xiaochun looked at Xu Hongdou who was suddenly embarrassed, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we have been separated for more than a year, there is nothing we can't say."
Xu Hongdou smiled sheepishly, "How old is your daughter?"
"Four and a half years old, my name is Xiao Gourd. I'm jumping up and down all day long, and it's not easy to worry about. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm really embarrassed if you keep looking so embarrassed. What do you want to drink? I'm treating you! "
Xie Xiaochun is a clean-cut woman who takes care of her children, runs a homestay, and runs a B&B and a small shop that doesn't make a lot of money. It's not easy.
"Give me a glass of watermelon juice, Anko?"
"Oh, same thing, I also want watermelon juice. How much does it cost?" Xu Hongdou took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
Xie Xiaochun pretended to be unhappy: "I said I wouldn't charge you."
Wang Yan said: "When you open a business, there is no reason why you shouldn't charge money. It's as much as you should."
"Oh, I really want to invite you, so don't be polite." Nana, who was busy on the side, said, "Xiaochun is not just inviting you, all the tenants in our courtyard are here for the first time. This As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Eaters are short-tongued and takers are soft-handed. If you feel good after having this drink, you will come here more often in the future."
"Hey, that's the truth. Please take care of me in the future." Xie Xiaochun said with a smile, "It's almost noon, what are you going to eat? Why don't you eat some from my place? Some hand-made pastries still taste good."
Xu Hongdou waved her hand and said politely: "No, let's eat it another day. We ordered eight large bowls at the Gesanghua Restaurant yesterday and will eat it soon."
"What are you going to do in the afternoon? Our village is pretty good. You have just arrived, so you haven't had a good look yet, right? There are tie-dying, embroidery, and wood carvings. There is a camping ground in the east of the village, a horse farm in the south, and a horse farm by the river. Bamboo rafting is quite good. Now, this brochure contains our village and some nearby attractions and fun places. It will be more convenient for you to take a look."
Xu Hongdou took the exquisitely printed guide booklet and replied while flipping through it: "We will go to the city after dinner. He said there are many snacks in the city. Let's go shopping and try the food here." Yes, we have both been there before.”
"If you don't have any experience, why don't you just go after taking a look? Tie-dye and embroidery are very good. Anyway, you have a lot of time, so you can go over and have fun. It's also good to try it yourself."
Xie Xiaochun is very dedicated to recommending things in Yunmiao Village and fulfilling her responsibility to develop her hometown. The tenants in the courtyard spend a lot of money when they first arrive. They see everything new and want to play with everything. After that, they only spend less and less on meals.
"I'm going to play in the past two days. I think it's quite interesting." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, took the brochure handed over by Xu Hongdou, flipped through it a few times, and said, "How many tourists do you have here?"
"Of course not many. Our place is still a little far from the city. In terms of scenic spots, there are not as many as there, and they are not as beautiful as there. In terms of convenience, it is not as convenient as there, and the popularity is not as good. Enough. When it comes to tourism, the more people there are, the more crowded they are, and the fewer people there are, the more deserted it is. Fortunately, we have a bus here, and dozens of tourists can come here every day, which can be regarded as making some development here. Bar."
Xie Xiaochun said it with emotion, because the development of Yunmiao Village is closely related to her in every aspect. This is her hometown, and it is also the place where she invested a lot of money and took on debts to make a living.
She was suddenly stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, stopped cutting the watermelon and looked at Wang Yan, "Do you have any ideas for investment and development here?"
She knew very well that Wang Yan had a rich man. Because she saw Wang Yan's car and was curious about that model. After all, it was so big and had so many modifications and additions. It looked quite oppressive. Regardless of men or women, there was always some curiosity. So when she picked someone up earlier, she took a photo for Xie Zhiyao and asked what kind of car it was and how much it was worth.
She couldn't remember Xie Zhiyao's reply, because there were many brand names and a long list of model suffixes, which made her brain hurt just looking at them. But what she remembers clearly is that the price of the car including modifications was at least two million. This really proves that Wang Yan is a rich man. After all, the pickup truck has a lifespan of fifteen years before it can be scrapped. To spend so much money on buying a car and modifying it, you either have to be smart or you are really rich. She had been in contact with him all the way, but she didn't think Wang Yan was in trouble.
Comrade Wang Yan, who had no bag on his head, shook his head: "Nana should have told you about my situation, right? The rootless duckweed who lives all over the world is already a little tired and wants to find a place to sleep quietly. It's not investment, it's just opening a small store. I'm not sure how it will be. Don't stare so wide. Even if I open a store, I won't open a big store. If I say it to death, I will be like you, Boss Xie. , I will also lose money with you when I open a B&B or a small restaurant, so my help to you here is limited."
"It doesn't matter. No matter how small a store is, it's still an investment. After all, you have to rent land from the village committee, you have to build, and you have to hire people after it's completed. All of this will boost the GDP of our village. But don't worry, after all, it costs a lot of money. Well, you take your time to investigate, and if you need anything, come to me at any time."
Just when Wang Yan was about to reply, a male voice sounded from behind him: "What are you talking about?"
Seeing Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou turning around, Xie Zhiyao said in surprise: "Is it you? Oh, I understand. You are the new tenants of the courtyard, right? Hello, let me formally meet you. I am Xie Zhiyao. .”
Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou said to Xie Zhiyao respectively, holding hands and smiling.
Xie Zhiyao asked curiously: "What inspection did you just talk about?"
"It's Wang Yan. He has been traveling for many years and has traveled all over the country. Now he wants to find a place to stay. That's why I asked him to inspect our Yunmiao Village."
"That needs to be investigated carefully. Wang Yan, I will just call you by your name. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime. As long as I can help, I will not refuse. I wonder what your preliminary plans are?"
Although it has not been finalized, Xie Zhiyao is very happy even if he just has an intention. After all, he worked hard all day long and did just this, just to develop Yunmiao Village. He has been here for two days now and proactively proposed this idea. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, it proves that his efforts in the past few years have not been in vain.
Wang Yan shook his head: "I haven't decided yet. I just have an idea at the moment. I've rented the house for three months. I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'd better take a look before talking about it."
"I understand." Xie Zhiyao nodded and said with a sigh, "I heard Xiaochun said that you were a photographer, and even pushed your meager salary over. I looked at it before and found that your photography skills are very good. , and there are more than 100,000 fans, which is really amazing."
"There are too many people who are better than me. I can't say that my level is superb, I can only say that it's okay. As for you saying I have many fans, that's because I always make some high-definition pictures without watermarks for people to download. Wallpapers, and I also shared some mobile photography skills and ideas for P-pictures. It took me so many years to accumulate so much, but it’s really nothing.”
"Teacher Wang is so humble. I took a good look at it and they spoke highly of you."
After looking at Xu Hongdou, who also noticed that Xie Zhiyao's title had become 'Teacher Wang', and Xie Xiaochun, who was covering his head and looking speechless, as well as Nana, who was watching the fun, Wang Yan shook his head in amusement and bowed. People must ask for something, he said: "Don't put a high hat on me, if you have something to say, do it if you can."
"You really don't wear a high hat, Teacher Wang, your photography level is high." Xie Zhiyao was not embarrassed, he gave a thumbs up to solidify his flattery, and said with a smile, "I saw your Weibo Most of the posts are photos and few videos. In this era of short videos, why don’t you post more video works?”
"Want to know how good I am at making videos? Got it, you want me to make a promotional video for your Yunmiao Village?"
"Teacher Wang is amazing. You thought of it before I even said it. I wonder if this can work?"
"Although I haven't posted many videos, it's not like I haven't posted them at all. You should be able to understand whatever level you are at. The reason why I don't post them often is because I'm lazy. After all, my videos are not short videos of more than ten seconds, they are several minutes long. A long video needs to have a theme, a story, a soundtrack, and copywriting. It's too complicated." Wang Yan explained first and then asked, "It's not impossible to shoot a video for your Yunmiao Village, but there is absolutely no such thing as working for free. , how much can you pay?"
"Teacher Wang, you are a photography artist. Now our country is vigorously developing rural areas and supporting farmers..."
Xie Zhiyao opened his mouth and started talking about a lot of truths. Morality was kidnapped first, and then he continued, "Of course, what I said so much is not that I don't want to give money. It is only natural to get money for doing things. Look... how about 20,000 ? We really don’t have much money in hand, and very little can be used for publicity. Otherwise, our place should not be like this for such a long time, don’t you think? Just take pictures of various aspects of our Yunmiao Village. It just needs to have some characteristics, local customs and customs, and cut out a few videos of varying lengths.”
Wang Yan shook his head: "You praise me so highly. I am both Teacher Wang and a photography artist. I am involved in rural revitalization and supporting farmers. What can I say? Photography is a hobby, and it cannot be regarded as my main business. I've been playing for so many years and I really haven't made any money. Let's do this. You can refund my room fee and buy some of your delicious specialties. When I'm done playing in the past two days, we'll study the shooting. After all, there is still so much time left, so I can shoot whatever I want."
"Thank you so much, Teacher Wang." Xie Zhiyao grabbed Wang Yan's hand and shook it twice, "Then I will just use this period of time to think about the subject of the photo. That's it for now, Xiao Chun, I thought about returning the room fee to Teacher Wang first. Then Teacher Wang, Xu Hongdou, I'm leaving first, I still have to study it carefully."
After finishing speaking, Xie Zhiyao simply turned around, went out, said a few words to a few kids who were washing their hands outside, and left...
