If those shops are managed whether they are sold or rented, then this inn by the big lake seems a little deserted at the moment.

Since it was built, the attention of the villagers has been on the shop, and with limited manpower, there is no one to take care of it. And Chen Jifa has been so busy during this time that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't have time at all.

Ye Feng was called into the city to say something from time to time, but he was not available.

As soon as the shop was sold out, Chen Jifa freed his hands and began to decorate the inn. It's just that it is difficult, just because ordinary carpenters can't do it at all, and Chen Jifa, who can do it, is afraid that their craftsmanship is not good enough and can't make it distinctive.

This is to receive tourists from other places, but it cannot be sloppy or perfunctory.

In the end, it was Ye Feng who proposed to let Chen Qianfan see the decoration style of many inns in the city, and asked Boss Wang to help, found a lot of drawings for reference, and finally set a construction team in the city to be fully responsible for the decoration of this inn.

When the foreman came and was contacted, Chen Jifa said to these people even more thief: "Then, let me tell you quietly, this is what the county magistrate said, I want you to decorate it well, and his old man will come back to live as soon as it is completed next year." By the way, would Liqun have heard of it? They will also come to stay. ”

When the foreman heard this, he said in his heart that this matter really can't be sloppy, smashing the signboard is a trivial matter, and it will really be over if you provoke the official. Therefore, both the materials and the workmanship are exquisite, for fear of dissatisfying the county adults.

These people, which one is not picky. Especially the group of mothers-in-law of the Liqun Society, they are even more powerful, and they are still chatting with the queen in the palace. If you dare to cut corners, you probably won't be able to keep your head.

Seeing this, Ye Feng only felt funny. However, he just smiled and didn't plan to say anything about tearing down the stage. Chen Jifa is right, this decoration must not be bad. It's just that how can it be better?

After thinking about it, Ye Feng felt that this restaurant was just a simple accommodation anyway, and there was no restaurant or anything like that, which was also a desire not to compete with the shops that made food at the entrance of the village.

Anyway, this inn is always five stories high, so it is better to use one floor as an experiment and decorate it according to what you want in your heart. Even if it doesn't work, it's just one of the floors anyway, and it's too late to redecorate or change.

In the end, Ye Feng asked the foreman to decorate the third floor into a theme inn, such as apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, lotus, etc., in short, the theme of the third floor is flowers.

When it is finished, you can provide a corresponding bonsai in a room. When the time comes, let Chen Qianfan inscribe a few lines of poetry, and it will be more perfect.

As for the name of the inn, Ye Feng had a lot of effort. The villagers are not satisfied at all, let alone buy it, their choices and aesthetics are simply straightforward, just like the entrance to the village.

At the beginning, after the road was repaired, Chen Jifa built a memorial arch in the place where the official road came out, and what was written on it was the three big characters of "Chenjia Village" voted by all the villagers.

And now, the villagers voted again, and the choice was "Chenjiacun Inn".

In this regard, Ye Feng couldn't cry or laugh, and no poetry could get into everyone's eyes at all. Think about the inn decoration is very exquisite, standing in the room and looking out, the outside is the green lake and the lotus leaves, it is really beautiful.

However, when you look at the name of the inn, it really doesn't match.

Fortunately, all this will be completed before February, and when the time comes, Bai Zhixian will be invited to inspect it, and he will definitely change his name.

As soon as the magistrate changed his name, the villagers not only did not have opinions, but they would enjoy it. After all, looking at the entire Qingshan County, it is really rare to be able to get the county magistrate to give a name.

Perhaps, their Chenjia Village is the first one.

In addition to these, the most difficult to deal with is the wild rhododendron forest.

The terrain here is remote, some distance from the entrance of the village, and the road is not easy to walk. However, this forest is very important, and once it blooms, it is truly beautiful. The point is, apart from here, the attractions in the village are still too monotonous.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and said to Chen Jifa: "Village Chief, I think I want to finish this section of the road." It's a lot of money, but it's worth it. And there is no need to build it so wide here, it can accommodate two people walking. ”

Chen Jifa originally disagreed, he roughly calculated, this section of the road is at least two or three miles away, even if it is the width of only double walking as Ye Feng said, it will cost a few hundred taels of silver, and the villagers may not agree.

However, Ye Feng's suggestion couldn't help but listen, so he went to Chen Qianfan to discuss.

When Chen Qianfan heard this, he agreed with Ye Feng's suggestion very much, and said directly to Chen Jifa: "Dad, this matter will be according to what Ye Feng said." You don't know yet, the county magistrate always says that the houses in our village are well built, very uniform, and look comfortable, but the scenery is less. ”

"Well, Ye Feng also said this question, and I think it myself."

"In that case, what are you hesitating about?"

"As you know, it's not a short road, it's still a long one. In this way, the expenditure will not be less, but I am afraid that the villagers will not do it. ”

"Well, father, there are some things that you can decide for yourself, and you don't have to discuss everything with them. Otherwise, what are you doing as this village chief! Some people are like that and don't agree with anything. If you think about it, when the outsiders come, they will have no place to go except to eat and drink, and they will not be able to maintain it for a long time. ”

"I naturally understand what you say, but ......"

"Okay, don't do it, just do it. If you want to do it, you have to do it well. I know this rhododendron forest, and there are flowers in spring, summer and autumn, and the flowers are very beautiful when they bloom. You build it first, and after it is built, the county lord will come to visit it in person, and maybe he will bring someone from our academy with him. If you can't pass this hurdle, then it's really a shame. ”

When Chen Jifa heard this, he didn't dare to have any objections, so he slapped the board and paid the silver again.

In this regard, some villagers really had objections, feeling that the construction of this road was meaningless and a waste of silver, Chen Jifa was angry when he heard it, and said unceremoniously: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, and a person can't even share half a tael of silver." Speaking of which, is there a shortage of these half taels of silver in your family now? Do you know that this is what the magistrate means? ”

The man didn't have a temper at all when he was scolded, especially when he heard that this was what the magistrate meant, he didn't even dare to come out, and obediently closed his mouth.

As soon as the silver was in place, things were much easier, first the slate was purchased, and then carefully polished, and then the construction began.

Starting from the main road, it was not built straight, but meandered according to the original terrain here. This is a bit more difficult, at least not as good as a straight paving.

Thinking about it, the craftsmen had to knock the stone slabs open and lay them according to their shape. In addition, according to Ye Feng's requirements, a pavilion was built every two or three hundred meters or so. The pavilion was surrounded on all sides by places to sit, with a stone table in the middle and a small tandoor on it.

As for the two sides of the road, Ye Feng took Qianyu and Chen Wumei to plant apricot blossoms and azaleas, which were now dug from Chen Wumei's ground. These flowers are carefully grafted by Chen Wumei, and they will bloom next year.

It's just that the price is a little low, and one plant is only 100 Wen.

Rao is like this, Chen Wumei also sold hundreds of plants, and made a small profit. Speaking of which, this is the first time she has had an income since buying land.

As for the forest, Ye Feng originally wanted to pave the road according to this rule, but he knew in his heart that the villagers had not yet seen the benefits, but they used a few hundred taels of silver at once, and they were already dissatisfied. If he proposes to pave all the forests again, I'm afraid even Chen Jifa will not agree.

After thinking about it for a long time, I asked these workers to buy cheap pebbles, plus the remaining stone slabs left over from the previous road paving in the village and this time, which was almost enough.

As a result, after the paving, everyone said that it was good, and it was simply crooked. Such a shop is actually more beautiful than a simple stone paving road. And walking on it, you can also massage the soles of your feet.

Then, under some huge rhododendron trees, Ye Feng still placed stone tables and chairs for tourists to rest. At that time, the villagers can bring boiling water and tea to sell here.

Tourists are tired and thirsty, and this place is such a beautiful scenery, and some people are willing to pay for silver.

At the same time, Ye Feng organized people to clean up these trees, not to mention the dead branches, even the leaves on the ground were swept clean, and even the grass was pulled out.

This time, the forest was much more refreshing all of a sudden.

When everything was finished, Chen Jifa came to see it in person. I originally thought it was just a forest, and there was nothing to see. However, when I looked at it, I was simply stunned and didn't know what to say.

Now, he finally understood the power of readers. They have a unique vision, but they have a certain aesthetic that others can't learn.

Take this forest as an example, if everyone is like him, they all think this place is too beautiful, but if they are allowed to repair it, they don't know how to start.

With this degree of refinement, the magistrate will be satisfied with it next year.

Fortunately, I went to ask my son's opinion, otherwise it would not have been a mistake.

Thinking that his son said that the magistrate of the county thought that there was too little scenery here, Chen Jifa tried his best, but he still found nothing.

In the end, Ye Feng came up with another idea, that is, to list the apricot tree of Chen Erniu's house as one of the attractions of Chenjia Village.

Even the focus of the propaganda Ye Feng has thought about it, just say that this apricot tree is the oldest tree within a radius of hundreds of miles, and more importantly, this tree is very magical, there is a mysterious power, if you make a wish here, not only can you get what you want, but also get the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

When Chen Jifa heard this, he pointed at Ye Feng and was speechless for a long time.

This kind of thing, only Ye Feng dares to think and do. Except for the age of this apricot tree, the rest are almost all fake. What does it mean to have magical powers? At the very least, this is a deception, and at a large level, this is a deception of the gods.

But thinking so in his heart, Chen Jifa still adopted this opinion.

It's just that this tree is planted in the yard of the second cow, not to mention the rest, here is a pigsty and a chicken, it is simply stinky, how to watch it.

Besides, tourists come to make wishes every day, and the Erniu family will definitely be overwhelmed.

In the end, it was a few clan elders who spoke, and the money was paid from the public to build a new house not far from the tree for Erniu's family. As for the size, it is a two-story small building according to the standards of the village.

When Erniu's mother heard this, she and her daughter-in-law Yang immediately agreed.

They had planned to wait for the New Year to build a new house, but now they can do it without even having to pay the money. And the tree is closest to their house, and they will have a chance to make a fortune.

Ye Feng said that if there are enough tourists, the Chenjiacun Grand Inn will definitely not be able to live, and some tourists will definitely not be willing to go back to the city to live, one is too far, and the other is not cheap.

Ye Feng suggested that the spacious family could pack up a few rooms and receive guests at a reasonable price. In this way, there is money to be earned.

His home is so close, these tourists have watched the apricot blossoms, made a wish, if they really want to stay, they will definitely choose this place. Anyway, it's a new house, and it's a big deal to build an extra floor when it's built.

Therefore, with the money allocated by the village, Erniu's mother added some more, ready to build a three-story small building. When the time comes, the third floor will be used to live in their own home, so that guests can live on the first and second floors, and will not disturb the life of their own home.

As for this tree, the village first found someone to slightly renovate the house of Erniu's family and built it into a unified style of houses in the village. Then, the painting that should be painted, the reinforcement that should be reinforced, and the appearance of the Taoist temple was estimated to add a lot of new furniture to it.

In the end, according to Ye Feng's suggestion, he also invited a statue of a Bodhisattva to come back to the town.

Especially after hanging a few red ribbons on the tree, this erection even looks a little different. Even Yang began to be surprised when she came back to see it, if she hadn't lived here for more than ten years, she really wouldn't have recognized it.

Who would have thought that this was originally just her family's stinky pigsty and a place to raise chickens and ducks?

However, there is no need for Chen Jixing to worry at all, because this tree does have "magical power" in the hearts of many villagers. One is that it was the first to bloom that year, which caused a lot of discussion in the village. Then, then there was the purple reishi in the ancestral hall.

As for the second one, the Da Niu family is a ready-made example. It's just the water that has been watering this tree for decades, and now, this tree has brought direct income to the family, a small three-story building, and a steady stream of income in the future.

Slowly, the villagers of Chenjia Village took the lead in offering incense and making wishes, which can be regarded as having a place to go and a spiritual sustenance.

Then, the villagers in the neighboring villages also heard the news, and they all rushed to offer incense in twos and threes. In this way, before the magistrate arrived, a scenic spot had really been added here.

This can't help but impress Chen Jifa, cheating, oh no, innovation or something, Ye Feng is really powerful.

Seeing that Chen Jifa was so excited, Ye Feng took the opportunity to bring up the matter of building a villa in the forest. The summer here is so hot that if you can build some houses in the forest, it is not only novel, but also the best way to escape the heat.

First, there are no wild beasts in this forest, at most a few hares and wild deer or something, and there is no problem with safety. Second, it was discovered that there are several springs here last year, and the water quality is very good.

However, Ye Feng suggested waiting for tourists to come to see the situation, and what he was preparing was to wait for next year to earn money and then use it to invest.

Chen Jifa listened, but somehow he began to yearn for this matter, and when he heard that Ye Feng was going to go the year after tomorrow at the earliest, he also felt full of hope for a while.

In other words, the infrastructure of Chenjia Village will not be interrupted in recent years.

Now, the two streets near the entrance of the village are even more lively.

Whether it is a person who has bought a shop or rented a shop, they are busy decorating. I don't know who took the lead in simply decorating the second floor, placing beds, tables, chairs and benches, and starting to live in it.

Now, except for the shops bought by the locals in Chenjia Village, the rest are basically occupied. In this way, it saves them from running back and forth.

If there are people to live in, then there is a need for life.

However, there is still a distance from the city here, and when you are tired from work, you want to eat some hot ready-made, seeing this, Ye Feng told Chen Jitang about it.

Although Chen Jitang has money, a home and a shop, he is still very concerned about feeding pigs, and Ye Feng is not ready to treat him badly, so he explained this business opportunity to him in detail.

As soon as Ye Feng said, Chen Jitang hurried home and talked to Li Sanjin.

As soon as Li Sanjin heard this, he immediately went door-to-door to ask those craftsmen according to what Ye Feng said, asking them if they needed lunch and dinner, and if they needed, they started to do it.

What those people are most concerned about is the price, and when they heard Li Sanjin quote a price that was much cheaper than that in the county, they all responded.

After learning the news, Chen hurriedly took Li Lao Er to bring the vegetables he grew at home, the pots and pans had already been prepared, and Li Sanjin went to the city to buy seasonings.

For the first meal, Chen made noodles, and when they were ready, they asked each family to bring their own bowls to serve them. When it was time to eat, those who had ordered the meal came smelling the fragrance. A bowl of noodles is in my stomach, and my whole body is comfortable.

In addition, in order to quickly build a reputation, Chen's is very willing to spend money, and the noodles are all real bowls, and there are newly prepared cooked oil and spicy seeds, and the noodles are chewy. But after a meal, everyone knows that there is a food shop here, which is affordable and delicious.

In the evening, due to the abundant time, Li Cripple and Li Ermei helped to choose vegetables, wash vegetables, and cut vegetables on the side, so stir-fried vegetables were added to dinner, as well as some cheap wine and braised pork.

This braised pork was brought back by Li Sanjin when he went to the city to buy spices, thinking that he would put it in the shop first, and if someone liked it, he would sell it, and if no one bought it, it would be fine, and he would eat it at home.

If you want to say that Chen's craftsmanship is really good, you can smell the aroma from afar.

When it was time for dinner, the people who had eaten at noon came again, all with their own bowls. When I heard that there were stir-fried dishes, they were still sold by scores, and they were not much more expensive than noodles, and there was rice.

In addition, braised pork and wine are also sold.

Some people asked about the price, and when they heard that the braised meat and wine were not much more expensive than those in the city, they charged a little money at most, so they asked for some of them.

For a while, some stir-fried vegetables and braised pork were sold.

After dinner, Li Cripple's family cleaned up, and then went to the second floor to sit down and take stock of today's situation, and counted the money by the way.

As a result, although it sold less on this day, excluding the cost, it actually earned 500 yuan. This can make the family happy, thinking that if there are many people, then the profit will be doubled.

With the word-of-mouth on the first day, the number of people who came to eat on the second day increased significantly. Chan changed her strategy and began to cook noodles and dishes at the same time, and she immediately did what the guests ordered.

In this way, she and Li Ermei entered the role in advance and began to sell food.

Although there are sometimes more people and sometimes less, the profit of half a day and a half taels of silver is indispensable. Occasionally, I meet some big customers who like to eat meat, and they can sell several catties of braised meat alone.

This shop that sells food is on fire, and it is the first one, and there is no competition, so everyone is a little red-eyed.

Especially Fan's sister-in-law, who originally thought about starting to do business in a few months, but now that she looks at it, it's okay. Anyway, the shop is its own, and it is left in vain. Hurriedly learned to buy goods, and opened the shop in advance.

This is also a clever one, because these craftsmen and proprietors come with children and mothers-in-law, and children and women want to eat snacks whenever they want, so the only fried food shop on this street also became popular.

After a month, there was actually a profit of more than ten taels of silver.

Originally, the eldest brother of the Fan family invested all his net worth and borrowed foreign debts, and the family lived a tight life, and the sister-in-law of the Fan family was a little dissatisfied.

Now that he has earned money, he smiles with joy. Especially those who come to buy snacks, a "boss lady" can give her pleasure. So much so that when Fan's two children came, she was willing to grab a handful of melon seeds.

However, the rest of the shops are only red-eyed, one is not decorated, and the other is that they are not selling food, to say that what these people need most now is to eat and snacks.

Chen Jifa's two shops have also been renovated, and they have begun to sell pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the like. Because he is the village head, and Chen Qianfan came to the store to advertise, Chen Jifa and Ye vigorously promoted that his son used this kind of paper to win the lift. Therefore, the students in the school who need pen, ink, paper and inkstone will come here to buy it, and use the same paper that the master likes to get lucky.

After coming and going, this business is really done. Although the profit is the difference, it can be regarded as a small profit but quick turnover, but the victory is a considerable amount, and the income is also a lot.

Ye Feng kindly reminded Chen Jifa: "In the future, I am afraid that I will have to buy some high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I think some tourists are willing to buy it." The consumption level of these students in the village is okay, but after all, it is not as good as those tourists. ”

The key is to sell it to these students in the village, and it is not easy to sell it too expensive.

The weather gradually cooled down, and slowly, the leaves turned yellow.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the weather is even colder day by day, and when you get up early, you can't stand the cold, and people have begun to thicken their clothes.

At this time, Bai Zhixian received a letter from the imperial court.

The letter only said two things, the first of which was naturally to help the abducted baby, asked Bai Zhi County how well it was prepared, and also mentioned Chenjia Village by the way, and asked if it was suitable to hold a family search meeting here.

It's no wonder that the other party will question, after all, the villages under this world are basically the same, dirty and messy, and it is difficult to be qualified for such a grand event.

The second thing was to praise the members of the Liqun Club, saying that they were very dedicated, did a good job in organizing and planning the event, and made suggestions that were very actionable.

Now, the Liqun Society in the capital has been established, and it is said that the amount of silver raised is even more amazing, with hundreds of thousands of taels. On the surface, it was deposited in the bank, but it is said that His Majesty the Emperor quietly "borrowed" it as military expenses.

Bai Zhixian, who received the notice, was overjoyed, and first revised a letter, saying that he had been supervising the construction of Chenjia Village, and that he had no pressure to host the family search meeting, and that he would immediately go to the final inspection as soon as the year was over to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As for the matter of Liqunhui, he modestly said that he was just making a modest contribution, and it was his honor to be able to serve the emperor, and it was also everyone's honor, Yunyun.

In this way, the emperor linked Bai Zhi County with being good at innovation and serving the country with loyalty, and waited for next year's big exam.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Qingshan County was a sensation.

The people of the Liqun Club were even more excited, and from then on, they were also considered to have entered the palace, and they were also praised by the emperor. This alone is a little more noble than others.
