She took a deep breath and turned to look at Lu Qing: "What should we do next?"

Lu Qing did not answer, but just smiled slightly with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He took Shen Qiqi's hand and said softly, "Let's go prepare something special first."

"Something special?" Shen Qiqi blinked in confusion. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Lu Qing pick up a bamboo basket from under the eaves and turn around to walk towards the back mountain.

Shen Qiqi followed Lu Qing to the back mountain, only to see him skillfully picking various herbs and wild fruits with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Qiqi, do you know what the biggest feature of our village is?" Lu Qing shook the wild fruit in his hand, with a hint of cunning in his tone.

"Hmm... simple folk customs? Beautiful scenery?" Shen Qiqi answered tentatively.

Lu Qing shook his head. "These are the treasures!" He pointed at the herbs and wild fruits in his hand. "These are all natural and can be used to make special delicacies and medicinal baths. Other villages don't have these!"

Shen Qiqi suddenly realized something, her eyes lit up, "That's right! We can launch a unique health tourism project!"

As soon as they said it, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing took action immediately.

They organized villagers to learn how to make herbal delicacies and medicinal baths, and designed a series of special tourist routes, such as "Herb Treasure Hunt Tour", "Wild Fruit Picking Experience" and so on.

A few days later, when the villagers from the neighboring village came back, they all looked like eggplants hit by frost - wilted.

The tourism projects in other villages are highly homogenized and there are few tourists, which is nothing like their village which is crowded and bustling.

Shen Qiqi seized the opportunity and immediately announced the launch of a new upgraded tourism project.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately set off a sensation in the tourist circle, attracting a large number of tourists to come and experience it.

"Wow, this herbal dessert is so delicious! I feel refreshed!"

"After taking this medicinal bath, my skin feels better. It's amazing!"

The tourists' exclamations of praise were heard one after another, and the village was filled with laughter.

The villagers looked at the endless stream of tourists, their faces blooming with smiles, and they all gave Chen Qiqi a thumbs up.

"Qiqi, you are so amazing! We are really impressed by you!"

"Yes, Qiqi, thanks to you, our village is so prosperous!"

As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood on the hillside, looking at the brightly lit village, hugging each other and smiling.

"We succeeded." Shen Qiqi's voice was choked with sobs, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.

"Yes, we did it." Lu Qing hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Qiqi, you are awesome."

Shen Qiqi buried her head in Lu Qing's chest, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.

"Next..." Lu Qing suddenly paused and looked into the distance, "There are even greater challenges waiting for us."

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

The tourism projects in Lujia Village are really popular!

The number of tourists directly exceeded 8,000, far exceeding the expected target. The villagers counted money until their hands cramped, and they were so happy.

The village is filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags waving, and crowds of people every day. The word "rich" is almost engraved on their foreheads.

Shen Qiqi had become the "darling" of the entire village. Wherever she went, she was praised by people like "Qiqi is great" and "Qiqi is awesome." They praised her to the sky.

The villagers looked at her with such respect that they almost knelt down and kowtowed to her.

Nowadays, whoever can make them rich is a "living Buddha"!

However, just as everyone was immersed in the great joy brought by the tourism industry, a small problem began to emerge: the sales of the village's traditional handicrafts were sluggish.

The tourists enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun, but they had no interest in those rustic handicrafts.

This won’t do. We can’t let the booming tourism industry overshadow the decline of handicrafts.

"This is absolutely intolerable! I'm going to cause trouble!" Shen Qiqi rubbed her hands together, a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes.

She decided to give handicrafts a major makeover so they could also take advantage of the tourism industry.

That morning, the rising sun cast a golden glow over the earth. Shen Qiqi packed up and said to Lu Qing, "I have to go to town and see if I can find some new inspiration."

Lu Qing gently helped her straighten her collar, his eyes full of encouragement: "Go ahead."

Shen Qiqi showed a confident smile, turned around and walked out of the house, followed by Lu Qing's affectionate and trusting gaze, and the hustle and bustle of the village gradually becoming lively.

She walked in the morning breeze, on the slightly bumpy cobblestone road, but she was thinking of a new plan in her mind. She wanted to try her luck at the materials market in the town and see if there were any new materials that could give the village handicrafts a new lease of life.

She looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, and her mood also brightened.

She raised her legs and walked towards the town without hesitation, her destination being the market filled with all kinds of materials.
