Chapter 197: Advertised~~~
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
By asking where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
......
Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival are known as the four traditional festivals in China.
Qingming Festival, also known as the Qingqing Festival, is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, the 108th day after the winter solstice. It is one of the most important sacrificial festivals in our country, and it is a day to worship ancestors and sweep tombs.
The traditional Qingming Festival of the Chinese nation began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years.
The Qingming tomb sweeping and ancestor worship festival period is very long, there are two sayings 10 days before and 8 days before and 10 days before and 10 days later, which are all during the Qingming tomb sweeping and ancestor worship festival in the past 20 days.
Like Liu Xia Hui and their Qinghe Village, they generally sweep the grave on the second Saturday and Sunday after the spring equinox.
There are different customs in different places about tomb sweeping, but no matter what, one thing will not change, that is, the more patriarchal the place, the more important it is to worship ancestors.
For example, Tang Xiaomin and their Qinhu Town, basically every household is an only child, and they are quite casual about worshipping their ancestors, generally bringing fruits, gold and silver incense paper, firecrackers and local special grave lanterns and other things, and then simply worship and worship OK.
Moreover, they generally only worship ancestors within three generations, and few of the descendants of the older ancestors know what their names are.
In fact, this is also normal, after all, the concept of giving birth to boys and girls here is weak, according to ancient times, the sons who were not born were all dead, since they can even see through this, what else can't be seen through?
Liu Xia Hui and their Baizhou County is different, here is very particular about ancestral inheritance, from the beginning of a generation of ancestors to live here, until the present day, there are detailed genealogical records.
This has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has caused more than ninety percent of the people in Baizhou County to have a serious patriarchal mentality, and people living in the county are a little better, especially those living in rural areas, and it is too few to have two or three sons.
Many people who can't give birth to a son are endlessly born, whether they give birth to three or five or ten or eight, anyway, they are unwilling to give birth to a son.
As a result, families with three or five children can be seen everywhere in Baizhou County. There are not a few families of six or seven, eight or nine are not uncommon, and more than ten are often heard.
As for the country's family planning, it does not play a big role in Hakuju County.
For many rural people, not being able to give birth to a son is a hundred times more serious than preventing others from getting rich.
This is also a few years later, Baizhou County directly caused a sensational incident because of the issue of family planning (I dare not say much about the specific incident, I am afraid of harmony, anyway, it is not an ordinary, and it is the only case in the country).
As soon as this incident came out, the family planning work in the entire Baizhou County was directly paralyzed, and no one dared to arrest family planning anymore.
It is precisely because the people of Baizhou County value sons over daughters and pay attention to the inheritance of their ancestors, so the people of Baizhou County attach great importance to the Qingming Festival to worship their ancestors.
The Baizhou County is full of hilly landforms, and hills can be seen everywhere, and people are buried on the mountains after death, so in Baizhou County, ancestor worship is also called worship mountain, shovel mountain.
The Liu clan where Liu Xia Hui is located, there are two kinds of ancestors to worship: one is the tomb mountain within five generations, for example, Liu Xia Hui is the 18th generation descendant of the Liu clan, and the 13th generation ancestor is the ancestor of their lineage.
This kind of branch worship is as simple as this, but this simplicity is relatively speaking, if compared with Tang Xiaomin and their side, it is much more complicated.
Speaking of sacrifices and the like, there must be rice balls, chickens, ducks, geese and pork (there must be one of them, and if the conditions are good, they can all be prepared), wine, tea, fruits, gold and silver incense paper, dragon (made of straw, like braids, it must be lit when you set off to worship the mountain, so that it emits smoke, and you have to bring it back when you take it out, and you don't know what the specific function is), firecrackers, etc.
Moreover, these sacrifices cannot be reused, and when one worships one ancestor and then worships the next one, these sacrifices must be renewed.
Therefore, just the sacrifices have to be carried over the mountains and mountains, and people who are not used to farm work can't hold it at all.
In addition to this, you must also bring tools such as hoes, shovels, knives, etc.
Because the grave hill that is worshiped once a year must be overgrown with weeds, it is not easy to use these tools to clear all the weeds and trees around the grave mountain (which is also the origin of shoveling the mountain).
Some graveyards in the deep mountains and old forests are extremely difficult to clean, and if it is done by one person, even a veteran will have to spend an hour or two to clean up.
And this is just a grave mountain, even if it is an ancestor within five generations, there are more than a dozen grave mountains, and they are still distributed in different mountains, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and this worship of the past can make countless young people have a headache.
The other is the tomb mountain that exceeds five generations, and this worship is even more cumbersome.
First of all, in terms of sacrifices, in addition to the sacrifices mentioned earlier, at least you have to carry a whole pig, you have to beat gongs and drums, you have to prepare sacrifices, not to mention clearing weeds and trees, and you have to hold a worship ceremony of three kneeling and nine knocking.
In short, it was extremely grand.
Every year when these ancestors are worshipped, the tribesmen scattered in different towns and even different counties will send representatives to rush back to participate in the worship ceremony.
The ancestor of the Liu clan in Qinghe Village was relocated from Guangdong Province, and the Liu clan people who like to find their roots and ask their ancestors every time they go to Qingming to worship their ancestors, the clan also sends people to Guangdong Province to participate in the more ancient ancestor worship ceremonies.
In his previous life, Liu Xia Hui was actually quite afraid of worshipping the mountain, thinking about how hard it was to go over the mountains to clean up the weeds and trees in the grave mountain under the scorching sun, which was so hard for Liu Xia Hui, who had never done much work since he was a child?
However, after returning from rebirth in this life, Baishan is much easier for him.
On the one hand, you can drive directly to the vicinity of the grave mountain, and then get out of the car and climb up the mountain, so that you don't have to walk so far from home as before.
On the other hand, when clearing weeds and trees, he basically doesn't need to do it, his uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., will rush to do it, he only needs to bow to his ancestors.
This is the social reality, as Liu Xiahui's status in the family increases, even from a small matter like worshipping the mountain, it can be seen that his status is completely different from his previous life.
It took two days to pay homage to the grave of the family within five generations.
Then from the first ancestor to the twelfth ancestor, Liu Xia Hui only went to worship four of them, one is the first ancestor, this is needless to say.
The second is the seventh ancestor, the seventh ancestor is said to be a Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, is the most special one among the more than a dozen ancestors of the Liu family, the Liu family is a scholar, an official, a businessman, and they all like to come to worship this Jinshi ancestor.
Like Liu Yuanqing, the third uncle of Liu Xiahui, when he worships this Jinshi ancestor, he must come every year.
The third is the ninth ancestor, the most famous ancestor is as powerful as an ox, there are many legends he shed, such as when he went to herd the cattle and came back, because the rain flooded the bridge deck, the ancestor was worried that the river would wash away the ox, so he carried the ox up and crossed the river.
Another example is to carry two or three hundred pounds of things, you can pick them from home to dozens of kilometers away in one breath to sell, without stopping once on the way.
For example, he can eat dozens of catties of cereals in one meal and so on.
In short, the story of this ancestor has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is more and more mysterious.
The fourth is the tenth ancestor, this is nothing magical, that is, he was buried with his two wives, it is said that worshipping this ancestor is easy to have sons, so many young people who have just married will be forced by their parents to worship this ancestor.
After worshipping the ancestors, the clan began to organize people to prepare to go to Guangdong Province to worship the ancestors of the clan.
The main reason is that the Liu clan is too big, and there are all kinds of people, and if you have anything to do with the clan over there, you will inevitably have to face all kinds of troubles of the clan in the future, which Liu Xiahui does not want to see.
......
In April, Liu Xiahui's roast duck chain and roast goose chain completed the strategic goals set last year ahead of schedule, and a total of 3,510 roast duck chain stores and roast goose chain stores were opened in Guangdong Province.
With the opening of these 3,510 chain stores, Liu Xiahui's daily income has broken through the limit of 4 million, and the income is more than 120 million a month, which is only the income of the roast duck chain and the roast goose chain.
If you count the income of the developing white cut chain and other industries, the profit of Liu's Group now exceeds 5 million a day, and this figure is still rising rapidly.
Now, Yanagishita's goldfinger panel has become like this:
ใGrade:SVIP24ใ
[Poultry and Beasts (Growth Attribute +100%, Quality Attribute +100%): Chicken, Duck, Goose, Pigeon, Sheep, Rabbit, Quail, Dog, Cow, Pig]
[Aquatic products (growth attribute +100%, quality attribute +100%): fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, snails, turtles, seaweed, star insects, squid, sea cucumbers]
[Vegetables (growth attribute +100%, quality attribute +100%): leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, cauliflower, root vegetables, stem vegetables]
[Fruits: stone fruits, kernel fruits, berries, citrus fruits, gourd fruits, and others]
[XP: 6666/10000]
[Employees: 6666]
Before you know it, the number of employees under your command has reached more than 6,600, and now all the vegetables have been opened, and the fruits have also surfaced.
Looking at the gold finger panel, Liu Xiahui can do too much business, but you can't become a fat man in one bite, everything has to be done slowly, and now the roast duck chain and the roast goose chain have just completed the layout of Guangdong Province, and it is time for Guizhou Province to develop.
After the roast duck chain and the roast goose chain are opened in Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, it is not too late to consider the national market.
Guangdong Province is the first strong province in the national economy for more than ten consecutive years, so the roast duck chain and roast goose chain will open to 3510, and the economy of Gui Province is ranked last in the country, Liu Xiahui estimates that it is enough to open a roast duck chain and roast goose chain of 800.
On April 8, Liu Xiahui held a meeting with General Manager He Hongwen.
"Mr. He, how long will it take for the white cut chain in Guangdong Province to complete the layout?"
"Boss, now Mr. Zhao is leading all the staff to buy the store, because of the previous connections, so the progress is very smooth, and it is expected that the layout of the white cut chain will be completed by the end of this month!"
"Well, yes, when the layout of Guangdong Province is completed, except for a few elites who are left to continue to buy seafood building land, all the others have withdrawn to Gui Province, I hope that before the National Day, the roast duck chain, the roast goose chain, and the white cut chain can complete the layout of Gui Province!"
"Boss, this Guizhou Province is also the same as Guangdong Province, every township must have a roast duck, roast goose, and white cut chain store?"
"That is not needed for the time being, the economy of our Guizhou Province is still too bad compared with Guangdong Province, in addition to counties and cities, townships and towns are only opened in those townships with good economic conditions, and the townships with poor economic conditions are not considered for the time being, and it is not too late to open chain stores after the economic development of these towns and towns has developed!"
"In this case, it should be no problem, and the task must be completed before the National Day!"
"Well, when the layout of Guangdong and Guizhou provinces is completed, and then it is a little consolidated, we will be able to enter the national market next year!"
"Hehe, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
......
The online literary industry has been turbulent recently, and the original starting point website has developed smoothly with the support of top authors such as Liu Xiahui, Wangu Changqing, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, and has formed a dominant situation last year.
Although other websites are trying to catch up, they do not threaten the position of the boss of the starting website.
But who would have thought that Boss Chen, who made a lot of money with the "Legend" game, suddenly fell in love with the online literature market and announced his arrival with "a letter to the fantasy author".
The power of capital is the most terrifying, and the newly established literary website, with the strong financial support of Boss Chen, signed contracts with many well-known authors in the form of buyouts, and the Internet was full of wolf exclamations.
Liu Xiahui, Eternal Evergreen, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng are the top contemporary online authors, and the person in charge of online literature sent by Boss Chen personally poached them, but they were all rejected by Liu Xiahui on the grounds that he had an agreement with the founder of the starting point website.
After Brother Bao and the others knew about this, they were naturally moved, you must know that Boss Chen was not stingy and gave Liu Xiahui a very high buyout price, and there are only a handful of authors who can refuse such a sky-high buyout at the moment.
This sentiment, Brother Bao and others naturally have the essentials.
If Boss Chen can poach the three top authors Liu Xiahui, Wangu Changqing, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, then with the super influence of these three authors, under the condition of weakening the opponent and strengthening himself, he may really be able to develop this new website rapidly.
It's a pity that I couldn't poach these three top authors, although there is a strong financial backing, but there is definitely no way to surpass the starting point in a short period of time, at least it will take two or three years to continue to invest money to complete this transcendence.
However, how could Boss Chen, who became the richest man two months earlier than in his previous life, have the patience to wait for two or three years slowly?
So, he adopted one of the most common methods of capital: "I can't surpass you, but I can buy you".
In this way, Yanagishita Hui sat back and watched the starting point change hands.
Fortunately, several founders such as Brother Bao retain a varying number of shares, and the starting point website is still managed by their founding team.
Originally, the starting point was the first brother in the industry, and with the support of Boss Chen's funds and channels, he developed at an astonishing speed, leaving other websites behind him so that he couldn't even see the shadows.
The website has developed rapidly, and the authors who have benefited the most are Liu Xiahui, Wangu Changqing, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, who stand at the top.
Now, "Breaking the Sky" written by Yanagi Hui himself has already exceeded 10,000, and the fan base has exceeded 80.
Yes, you read that right, the book "Breaking the Sky" alone has built a full 83 fan bases.
Because the current fan base is limited to only 100 people, there is only one way to increase the number of people in the group, which is to charge money to become a shareholder of the group, so that the number of people in the group can reach a maximum of 200 people.
These fan groups were all set up spontaneously by fans, and it is estimated that there are many fans who repeat the group in these 83 groups.
And the fan base of "Cun Mang" and "Golden Pupil" combined is nearly 100, although there are also many fans who repeat the group, but the fans of the three works add up, there are tens of thousands of fans.
And that's just the fans of Jiaqun.
You know, the subscription superposition of the three works has reached more than 25,000, which are all real fans of genuine support, and there are many who like these three books, but because the economy does not allow it or for various other reasons, they can only watch pirated copies.
If you count all these fans, those three works have at least hundreds of thousands of fans.
These hundreds of thousands of fans are distributed all over the country, and Guangdong Province, as the most economically developed province, will definitely not have a small number of fans.
Moreover, in this day and age, fans who have computers and have the ability to support genuine reading generally have a good family background.
Therefore, it is time for the advertising plan that Yanagi Shita has set up for a long time to start.
So, on May 1, 2004, Liu Xiahui, Wangu Changqing, and Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, who had never published a single chapter, the three top authors from the starting point and even the online literature industry, posted a single chapter with the same content.
Chapter title: Advertised ~~~
The individual chapters read:
"Good morning, readers, today I highly recommend three delicacies to fans in Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, the first dish is the delicious roast duck of the 'Lao Liu Roast Duck Chain', which may have already been tasted by readers.
