Dahe Village Market has a total of twenty shops, and initially five shops were rented out, namely the inn lobby, Dahe Canteen, Dahe Winery, Songhua Dan Shop, and coal mine office.
After this period of development, more and more people in the village are renting shops, because the rent for the first three months is cheap, only two hundred cents a month. Even if you only earn ten cents a day, you can make it back in a month, so it is not Few people are willing to take the gamble.
For example, Mrs. Zhang started to work hard after her bad words. She rented a shop and sold pancakes. Vegetable pancakes cost two cents, and omelette pancakes cost three cents. Of course, there is not an egg in each pancake, but an egg. After the leeks are mixed and fried, one chopstick is placed in a pancake, which is a first-class way to control costs.
Some men from the neighboring village on Meishan would come here to buy pancakes to eat. As long as she sold ten pancakes a day, Mrs. Zhang would make money.
Another example is Zhao Sanniang in the village. She does not engage in the business of migrant workers, but focuses on the villagers. She buys goods from the city, buys oil, salt, needlework and other groceries and sells them in the shop. The people in the village are already busy and have no time to go to the city. They bought necessities and came to Zhao Sanniang's place one after another. The business was very good.
There is also Zhao Da, the man whose family owns an ox cart. He also rented a shop in the market. He had no skills, so he specialized in cutting grass, transporting it back to the shop in an ox cart, and selling it to those in the soap workshop who came to place orders. The merchants brought goods from other places, and those merchants brought several carriages with them. These horses were tired from traveling and traveling, and needed a lot of food and grass. Zhao Da really made a lot of copper coins.
Cheng Wanwan walked slowly around the market. There were twenty shops, and there were eight shops left. The shops currently open were doing very well.
If the attractions of the lotus pond can attract people, and there will be peach gardens and jasmine gardens in the future, the people who can come to enjoy the flowers must be people with a certain economic foundation. Then how should the market serve these people and form a virtuous cycle? ?
When people come, they have to eat. Food is the biggest money-maker, but it must be local specialties. If they are all the same, they will be unattractive.
The second is accommodation, but people coming from far away need accommodation, and the current radiation range is not so wide.
Then there are the special handicrafts. What are the characteristics of Dahe Village?
It just so happens that tomorrow the first batch of flower-viewing people will come. First, we must see whether the lotus pond scenery is popular and whether it can become famous, and then observe what the needs of these scholars are...
That night, Cheng Wanwan was planning for the future of Dahe Village.
Getting up early the next day, Cheng Yuanyuan went to work in the flower garden with a hoe. Cheng Wanwan quickly got dressed and followed her.
The fence of the flower garden has been built, and vine-like flower seedlings are planted on the edge of the fence. At the turn of spring and summer, the vines grow wildly, and they have grown so fast that they have reached the top of the wall.
However, the peach blossom tree is still the same as before, with more green leaves. It has no intention of blooming at all. It is estimated that it will bloom next year.
The aloe vera is transplanted whole, and there is basically no acclimatization.
Jasmine seedlings have also grown, with a survival rate of 60%. In ancient times when technology was lacking, this survival rate was already very high.
Cheng Yuanyuan has been busy replanting jasmine flowers during this period, carefully loosening the soil, watering and fertilizing.
"In the past few days, Shopkeeper Yan has led people to build the pavilion and built many paths between the flower gardens." Cheng Yuanyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "While the workers are here, I have a suggestion. Please listen to it."
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are biological sisters, there is no need to hide it."
"The flower garden is not far from the big river. Is it possible to build a ditch to bring water there so that it can be watered more conveniently in the future?" Cheng Yuanyuan said a little embarrassed, "It takes most of the day to carry water and water it. I don't think it's worth it. when."
She didn't want to be lazy, but wanted to spend her time on more meaningful things. She heard from Erya that there were many beautiful flowers on the mountain. She wanted to take some time to dig up the wild flowers and plant them at the door of the flower garden. The next time you come, you can see the branches full of flowers, and your mood will become better.
Cheng Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Sister, you reminded me!"
"The Preface to the Lanting Collection" says that drinking Qushui is the next best thing... This is a must-play item for literati gatherings.
Since she wanted to make it a tourist attraction, she had to create an artificial stream for the entertainment of literati.
Also, the garden plan needs to be redrawn, and at least one place must be built for dozens of people to rest and play.
If it could really be built like the Suzhou gardens, she would be willing to live here for her whole life, or ten lifetimes.
Cheng Wanwan smiled happily.
After busying in the flower garden for a while, Erya ran over and reported: "Second aunt, many scholars have come to the village and are going to the lotus pond."
Cheng Wanwan washed her hands. It was the first time that the lotus pond received "tourists". She had to go and see it in person so that she could fully understand the needs of customers.
She returned to her yard and smelled the strong aroma of tea. This was what she had told her yesterday.
After the tea was boiled, she carried the teapot, Wei Hongying held the lacquer tray with more than twenty tea cups, and Wei Hongyan also carried a basket with four or five plates of various fruit snacks.
The master and servant walked slowly to the edge of the lotus pond.
In the pavilion, there are more than ten literati with jade trees facing the wind. Some are sitting leaning on the pavilion, and some are standing on the edge of the plank road. Everyone is looking at the lotus pond.
In late spring and early summer, it is when greenery spreads unbridled. The lake is dyed green, and above the green are greener round lotus leaves. These leaves are like a woman's skirt, swaying in the wind, and they are large. Among the greenery, a pink lotus stands gracefully, emerging from the mud but not stained, and its ripples are clear but not demonic.
Yesterday it was still a bud, but today the outermost petals have bloomed into two pieces, and the buds are even more beautiful.
"Everyone has come a long way, let's have a cup of tea."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and put the teapot on the stone table. Wei Hongying quickly poured tea for everyone.
"Sui Ruren!"
"I've seen Sui Ruren!"
All the scholars turned around and quickly bowed their hands.
"You're welcome, everyone." Cheng Wanwan made an inviting gesture, "You are the guests invited by my nephew and godson, so you are my guests. Sit down and have tea and something to eat."
Everyone was still a little uncomfortable. They didn't know where to put their hands and feet in front of the seventh-rank official.
"Have a seat, have a seat." Qian Hui looked like he was a guest. "The people in Sui Ru are very approachable, so don't be restrained."
Shen Zheng nodded: "Didn't I say that I wanted to compose poetry? If I get too cautious, I'll lose my inspiration. Just be more casual."
Zheng Wangfeng unfolded his paper fan and said, "Why don't Brother Cheng sing a song first?"
His eyes fell on Cheng Zhao. His eyes looked as gentle as water, but in reality there was a shadow. He was really jealous of Cheng Zhao...
"Everyone wants to write a poem, and I, a peasant woman, will not participate." Cheng Wanwan pulled out a hairpin from her head, "How can there be no luck in writing a poem? You all evaluate each other, and the person who wins the first place can win the prize. Take this hairpin."
The literati were not interested in women's jewelry at first, but after taking a look at it, they were shocked.
This hairpin is made of silver, with a lotus scene on it, a round lotus leaf, a pink lotus blooming, the water drops on the lotus are clearly visible, and a lifelike dragonfly. This exquisite workmanship, even if It was Qian Hui, whom I had never seen before.
Seeing everyone's interest, Cheng Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. This was a hairpin she bought specially in the mall to use it to promote the lotus pond in Dahe Village.
She smiled and said, "I'll go and get busy if I have something else to do. If you have anything to do, just ask the two girls."
If you win and give it to someone, it can be considered a valuable gift.
"Thank you, Sui Ruren! Sui Ruren, walk slowly!"
Everyone clasped their hands and watched Cheng Wanwan go away.
Shen Zheng said carelessly: "Today, we will use this lotus as the theme and compose a poem, limited to one stick of incense."
