Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Resort Hotel
The construction company had been contacted before the New Year. Around the Spring Festival, a time not ideal for construction, they kept sending me all sorts of designs: a rural villa, a European-style manor, and so on.
Jiang Heng fell in love with the design of a courtyard house at first sight.
According to her personal living needs, most of the 300-square-meter area is designed as outdoor space, including lawns, ecological ponds, pavilions for drinking tea and barbecues, as well as stables for her future plan to raise horses and a sycamore tree for decoration and shade.
The human living area consists of only a living room, a master bedroom as spacious as a single-family apartment, two secondary bedrooms with bathrooms, a kitchen with a dining room, and a spacious storage room.
Her only relatives are her uncle's family. All other relatives can live in Jiang Peng's house, so she doesn't have much need to entertain guests.
I was still thinking about Ye Sui who kept talking about coming over to play in the two guest rooms specially arranged for me.
It is enough to meet daily needs and occasionally entertain guests, and the rest is the living area for the many furry animals in the house. Small animals are different from humans. What they need more is a place to move around, so Jiang Heng made the outdoor area so big.
Then comes the interior decoration.
This is easier to confirm.
Because the designer himself is very talented, and everything he designs is very beautiful, you can buy it without even thinking about it.
Once everything is finalized, preliminary preparations can begin in advance, such as pre-ordering building materials. Furthermore, since there aren't many specific buildings and most of the area is outdoor, some time is saved and the project is expected to be completed in early April.
Therefore, following Jiang Heng's notification, the construction team arrived the next day with the preliminary construction materials.
Construction officially started on the third day.
The money Jiang Heng gave was in place, and the construction team she found was one of the most famous domestic villa construction teams with exceptional work efficiency. She didn't have to be responsible for anything except the money.
Including the food and accommodation for their own workers, they directly solve the problem by building colored steel plates, tents and RVs.
It does not disturb the villagers or tourists at all.
After watching for two days, Jiang Heng realized that he was really of no use, so he went to get busy with other things.
The first step is to buy a batch of fertilized quail eggs for hatching.
The farm was very expensive and it completely drained Jiang Heng’s savings at the time, but it was well worth it.
The builders divided the entire farm into different functional areas, including separate areas for daily poultry and livestock breeding, as well as special areas for puppies and hatching.
Intelligent incubation and precise temperature control eliminate the need for workers to run around. The number of babies hatched each time is around 300, which can be increased or decreased according to needs. After hatching, there is a cub rearing room next to it, which can also precisely control the temperature.
In addition, a number of smart devices have been added, including feeding and watering, and preparing food and water sources. Jiang Heng can control it directly with one click on the mobile phone, or manually control it on the farm.
There are also special intelligent robotic arms used to clean the farm. The feces flushed down will be mechanically transported to a special fermentation and composting area. When the manure fermentation reaches a certain standard, it will be automatically tested and placed in a special storage area after passing the test. It can be connected to the intelligent drip irrigation system for selective fertilization. It is a completely integrated farm.
This farm saves a lot of labor in livestock breeding.
Before Jiang Heng came into contact with this industry, he had no idea that the technological development of the breeding industry in this world had reached this level!
In fact, the planting industry has also gradually used robot planting, but the arable land here is too uneven, which is still a big challenge for robots. Many large-scale planters in the plains have used it.
Therefore, Zhan Hong and Xie Miao will continue to work together, and Jiang Heng will monitor the situation on his mobile phone and computer to ensure the normal operation of the entire farm.
Of course this is just a farm.
Jiang Heng mainly raises poultry and livestock in a free-range manner. The breeding area is just a residence for them, and they only stay inside when the weather is bad. At other times, they are definitely let out to find food on their own.
The real activity area of poultry and livestock is still the hills.
For this purpose, Jiang Heng specially divided the five hills into different areas for rotational grazing in the future.
Ensure that the grassland has a rest period of one to two months and will not be completely destroyed.
Raising poultry is relatively easy. After so long, the first batch of chickens and ducks have formed a very regular life. Every day when the fence gate is opened, they will go out to find food by themselves. In the evening, when you call them, they will lead the way back.
Now that we have Little Stone as the Paw Patrol Captain, there is no problem at all in this regard.
Therefore, you can consider gradually increasing the number of breeding.
*
Quail breeding requires little space and is relatively easy to manage, so it is the first thing to be added. It is a good opportunity to test whether the incubator and temperature control equipment are accurate.
The first batch is to hatch 200 eggs. Set the device to hatch quail eggs. The device will automatically arrange the temperature, humidity and egg turning frequency. Click confirm and you're done.
Then you only need to check every few days, and monitor the rest on your phone.
After settling this side, the foundation of the house will be laid.
By the time Jiang Heng was slowly turning the milk vetch into the soil to fertilize it and preparing to plant wheat, the main structure of the house had been completed.
At this time, the entire layout can be clearly seen, a courtyard with rooms on all four sides.
The main entrance leads to the reception room, and further inside is a large and spacious outdoor activity area.
Going straight ahead is the fully functional master bedroom.
On the left are two guest bedrooms, and on the right are the kitchen, dining room, and storage room.
It is a very simple and clear courtyard with one entrance.
For safety reasons, the construction site was surrounded by iron sheets, and ordinary people could not see inside. Although Jiang Heng used her spiritual sense to observe the progress every day, the construction party did not know about it. Seeing that she was so close but did not come to see, they specially came to let her take a look. If there was anything they were dissatisfied with, they could make requests in time.
After the main structure is completed, it will be very troublesome to move on to the next step.
Jiang Heng had no complaints. As long as they followed the blueprint, everything would be fine. She pretended to look around and nodded readily: "No problem, it's exactly the same as the blueprint. Let's leave it that way."
The construction manager breathed a sigh of relief. Such an easygoing Party A was reassuring, and he hoped it would remain so easygoing. "Okay, then we'll proceed to the next step tomorrow."
Jiang Heng went out satisfied and ran into Wu Huiying and the old village chief who came looking for him.
The old village chief retired and Wu Huiying became the new village chief, but he was still an elder with a lot of say in the village. The fact that he came to him at this time must mean something important, so Jiang Heng took the initiative to meet him.
Before I got close, I noticed that the two people had happy expressions on their faces.
Wu Huiying lowered her voice and said, "This matter hasn't been decided yet. It's not appropriate to talk about it outside. Should we go to your house?"
There are still tourists around. As the Lantern Festival has passed, the number of tourists has decreased a little, but there is still a steady stream of customers coming. Jiang Heng's alfalfa business is coming to an end in the second season.
"Okay." Jiang Heng nodded with a smile and took them there.
There was no one at her house now, only a few furry dogs playing nearby. When they saw them come back, the furry dogs stopped playing and barked at her twice to say hello. Little Stone rode on the Husky's head and waved.
Jiang Heng also smiled and waved: "You guys play."
The little guys howled and continued to play with each other.
After entering the house, the old village chief said, "This is good news. Someone has come to invest in our village!"
Jiang Heng's eyes lit up: "Invest in what?"
"Resort hotel!" Wu Huiying said happily. "At first, someone subtly tried to get us to work with you. Of course, we knew your rules and refused. But when I saw how wealthy they were, I suggested a resort hotel, and they quickly agreed. But it's just the beginning, and nothing is certain. We came here just to ask for your opinion. After all, you're the one who made the village famous, so you definitely need your approval for something this big."
Jiang Heng quickly shook her head: "I don't have any objections..." After a pause, she asked: "But will this affect those who run B&Bs?"
At present, the villagers are doing very well in the B&B. All the men, women and children in the village are busy. Even my cousin's son plans to stay here and do some business after getting married at the end of March, so he won't be a slave anymore.
With Jiang Heng's support, they can let go.
"Don't worry, no. We cater specifically to middle- and high-end customers." Wu Huiying said with a smile, "One of the people who came here is named Du, and he said he knows you. The other is named Ning. I've checked both of them, and they both have a ton of businesses under their belts. They could easily buy out our entire village. Luckily, the village doesn't allow trading."
Jiang Heng was relieved. The B&B itself was a good value for money, catering to ordinary guests. The hotel served the middle and high-end crowd, which was just the right diversion. He nodded readily, "No problem."
Wu Huiying had known she would agree, and she remained happy with the answer. She added, "However, if they want to open a hotel, they also plan to lease some of the surrounding land and hilltops. The hotel will produce and sell its own ingredients, focusing on a purely natural product. This may cause some minor conflicts with the villagers."
The land is now much more valuable than when Jiang Heng first came back, so some people may be reluctant to contract it out.
The old village chief added, "From what I can see, if they really want to contract the land, the price will definitely not be low. Most people will agree. Even now, doing business is more profitable than farming. Once the hotel is built, it can accommodate more guests, and doing business will be easier."
Jiang Heng nodded: "Yes, if the vegetables can't be sold at a high price, we should do business. Besides, we have quite a lot of land here, so if we really want to farm, there must be room. I have no objection to contracting it."
The old village chief and Wu Huiying stood up impatiently: "Okay, then you have no problem, I will tell them."
Jiang Heng nodded.
Naturally, she had no objection.
This has no effect on her, as she doesn't run a hotel.
The two of them went back happily, turned around and called each other to inform each other of their decision.
The next day, a group of professionals came to deal with the follow-up of this matter.
Within two days, the location of the resort hotel was decided. It was located on the southwest side of the village, about six or seven hundred meters away from Jiang Heng, and it happened to be next to a branch of a river.
At least it's a river view room.
The area is very large and it is expected to have more than one hundred rooms.
A very important point is that the village was given 5% of the shares to be used as land rent and operating compensation.
As soon as the news came out, the whole village was in an uproar.
The village group was so lively that it had posted 999+ messages and it still hadn’t died down.
When Jiang Heng received the news that the first batch of quails had hatched and went out, he was pulled aside by a group of elders and praised for a long time.
Tourists nearby were envious after eating melons and exclaimed: "What?! A boss came here to invest in a resort hotel???"
"I've asked for the umpteenth time why I couldn't be born in Jiang Village!"
"The feeling of being carried away by the wind is so cool just watching it. When can I experience it?!"
Others were delighted: "Can we just book a hotel in the future? Although B&Bs are great, I'm not used to interacting with people, so a hotel would be much more convenient."
"Yeah, yeah, I feel a little embarrassed every time I make the room dirty. Hotels are more convenient."
"But the price will definitely not be cheap, otherwise it will be difficult for the homestays in the village to continue operating." Someone reminded.
"It's okay, I understand. I won't be staying here permanently. I'll just come for a day or two to recharge and breathe oxygen. It's no problem."
“…”
——
The villagers are happy, and the tourists are also happy for the village.
When Jiang Heng walked on the road, she could feel that the air seemed to be full of joy.
Zhan Hong followed along. She was the main force in the farm and had a constant smile on her face. "Since you came back, good things have been happening in this village. It's great."
Jiang Heng smiled and said nothing more.
Being praised too much will make you tired.
Fortunately, Zhanhong did not insist on her response. She said a few words to express her joy, and then they came to the farm.
The farm has not yet been officially put into use.
The big animals like pigs, cattle and sheep have not come yet, and they need to be quarantined before being brought back to ensure that they do not carry any pathogens, so the dozen or so sheep currently have not been transferred there yet.
It's empty here.
Open the gate and walk to the right to reach the hatching area.
When I opened it, I saw a lot of tiny little guys struggling in the eggshells in the incubator. Their black, brown and gray fur looked quite cute. If you ignored their size, they would look like chicks. Maybe they noticed someone coming, so their chirping became much louder.
This is a biological instinct, reminding the other party that they are hungry and need to be fed in time.
Zhan Hong was surprised: "So many have hatched?"
Not only that, there are many more that are trying hard to break out of their shells.
It looks like all of them will be hatched in just two days.
Jiang Heng said: "This machine is easy to use! Let's get to work."
Zhan Hong followed her.
Before coming, Jiang Heng had already adjusted the temperature of the cub nursery next door. Now the two of them just had to grab these little guys and send them there.
The poultry rearing rooms are composed of small compartments of one meter square.
After being moved, the quails were obviously in a panic, and their noises became much louder and quite noisy.
Fifty quails were placed in one square meter. The two worked hard for several times and found forty quails. The rest were trying hard to hatch. Jiang Heng asked Zhan Hong to come back and take a look in two hours.
Zhan Hong remembered it.
The next step is to prepare the opening material.
Quail need to eat within 12-24 hours after hatching.
The millet should be soaked until there is no hard part, but it should not be too moist, otherwise diarrhea may occur. Therefore, the time should be controlled well. The first time you eat it may require manual assistance. Zhanhong has done this many times when hatching chicks, so just leave it to her.
Things went smoothly. Although hatching the chicks by oneself would result in a little more loss than buying seedlings directly, the temperature control equipment in the farm was good, and the water used to soak the millet was spiritual. Therefore, when Jiang Heng went to check again the next day, he found that of the more than 80 quails hatched yesterday, only two had died.
Or maybe he was weak and couldn't eat, so he died.
After successfully guiding several of them to eat, they became noticeably more energetic, and after a night they became no different from other quails.
By the evening of the next day, the batch of 200 quail eggs had hatched, and 192 quails were harvested in one go!
The success rate remains alarmingly high.
However, after seeing the hatching rate of Jiang Heng's eggs, Zhan Hong was very calm about it and took care of the quails diligently. Two days later, all the quails could eat on their own and were fed by the intelligent feeding system.
During this period, Jiang Heng's strawberries also ripened.
*
The strawberries this time are seasonal strawberries. They are very large and bright red. When ripe, the strawberry fragrance is very obvious, which not only attracts people, but also attracts many birds to wander nearby.
The cats and dogs, who had nothing to do, took on the task of chasing away the birds, diligently driving away the birds that tried to steal food.
Every time a bird was driven away, the tourists outside cheered: "Wow! That's amazing!"
Caramel Stinky Fart chased the flying bird for a few more steps, barking fiercely.
The tourist coaxed like a wolf grandmother, "The caramel is great, and the strawberries look red. Why don't you pick a couple and share them between you and the dog?"
Caramel licked his lips and turned his head away with great restraint.
The tourist was disappointed: "Oh, the scam didn't work."
The next second, the puppy saw its owner coming and immediately ran over happily, pointing a paw at the bird flying in the sky: "Woof woof woof!"
Then pretend to run two steps.
Jiang Heng pretended to be confused: "What's wrong? Is Jiaotang trying to catch a bird?"
"Woof woof woof!" Caramel was anxious and used his mouth to signal her to look at Strawberry.
Jiang Heng said seriously: "Oh, the strawberries are ripe."
Caramel: "Woof!"
Angry, angry.
A grumpy puppy just can't play.
Jiang Heng teased the puppy until his fur was about to explode, then he picked a few strawberries and stuffed them into the puppy's mouth: "Here, a reward for chasing the bird away."
caramel:"……"
The dog looked at its owner speechlessly, but still happily took the strawberry and put it into its mouth with a howl, carefully tilting its mouth up to not waste any juice.
After eating, he proudly barked at the tourists who had just tricked him: "Woof woof woof!"
Tourist: “…”
Feeling shown off.
She shouted, "Boss, I want to eat strawberries too! When will you sell strawberries?"
Jiang Heng also shouted back: "Sell it today!"
"Wow!" The tourist responded with joy and happily shared it with his companions. Then other tourists not far away heard it and cheered in surprise: "Finally, there are strawberries!"
"I was going to leave yesterday, but the strawberries were ripe, so I stayed. I can finally eat them!"
"Strawberries! I love strawberries the most!"
"Ahhh, hurry up and call my bestie. She's been thinking about it for a long time. She didn't get to eat it last year and she's so craving it. She's even taking a day off to come this time."
Jiang Heng also smiled, strawberries are really the top fruit in the world!
Watermelons are seasonal and a little lacking in quality.
Unfortunately, apart from greenhouses, there is currently no way to eat strawberries all year round.
She ate one herself and felt that this one tasted even better than last year’s!
The strawberries were large and ripe, and I couldn't finish the tip of the strawberry in one bite. The juice was exceptionally sweet but not overpowering, with a light sour taste and rich strawberry fragrance that blossomed between my lips and teeth...
So delicious!
Sorry, dear guests!
The price of such delicious big strawberries will have to go up a bit!
After finishing the meal with satisfaction, Jiang Heng fed the greedy puppy a plump strawberry. She put the remaining strawberries in a small basket and stuffed the handle into its mouth. When it tried to put it down and continue eating, she reminded it, "These are for Pudding and the others. Don't steal them! One by one."
Caramel paused, then reluctantly carried the basket in his mouth to look for Pudding and the others.
His body became more and more robust, and his butt swayed as he walked.
A dark color at the tip of its tail swept through the air as it swayed.
Jiang Heng came here just to pick strawberries. The strawberries showed signs of ripening two days ago, but the number was too small, and they were all early-maturing individuals. Last night, she gave the eleven acres of strawberry fields an extra spiritual rain, and today a large area of them officially ripened.
As Pudding also had some strawberries to eat, Zhou Yun happened to come with the harvesting team to harvest them.
The strawberry yield is much greater than that in August and September. One acre of land can yield about 60 to 70 kilograms. The main reason is that the strawberries are large in size, each one is bigger than the palm of your hand, and they feel heavy when you hold them in your hand.
Strawberries have thin skins, and Jiang Heng picked them at a relatively ripe stage, making them even harder to transport. The total output of the eleven acres of land is estimated to be around seven or eight hundred kilograms. With this amount, Jiang Heng plans to sell them directly at a stall. If they can't be sold out, he'll pick less ripe ones next time.
A total of 780 kilograms of strawberries were harvested that day, limited to five kilograms per person, and sold at a price of 80 yuan per kilogram. As expected, they were not sold out.
The price was too high, so many people bought it, but there were still about 100 kilograms left.
It was already very late, and Jiang Heng was thinking about making strawberry jam when she suddenly remembered Song Ming's canned food business. She asked about it and got a positive answer.
receive!
She wants the rest!
It’s better to accept everyone who comes.
Jiang Heng sold the product smoothly. Song Ming drove over to pick it up and said with a smile, "If you want to make strawberry jam, you can find another opportunity."
Jiang Heng laughed: "Thank you for helping me clear the inventory."
The first day was sold out successfully, and the second day was a bit more demanding. I thought there would be more left, but I found that there was less. When Song Ming came to clear the inventory, he was stunned: "Your customers are so enthusiastic."
Out of the 81 kilograms of strawberries, more than 700 kilograms were sold easily, leaving less than 50 kilograms left.
So enviable!
Jiang Heng was also puzzled: "Maybe some rich person is collecting it from behind."
There are currently about two to three hundred tourists in their village. Add to that the local people in the village, people from the county town, and some purchasing agents, so it is understandable that they can consume seven to eight hundred kilograms of strawberries.
Fortunately, the total number is not large. Unlike the situation with milk vetch, strawberries cannot be stored for a long time and will rot if not carefully stored, so it is impossible to form a group of scalpers.
Just a little bit, just to help the customer recover some of his losses.
——
at the same time
A batch of fresh strawberries was quickly delivered to certain specific homes by helicopter.
Because Jiangjia Village is remote and there is a purchase restriction policy, it is impossible to purchase it like buying milk vetch, but you can still pay more and buy more than the average person.
For example, the Du family, the Ruan family, and the Ning family.
Ever since Du Guili became a living advertiser, the circle she is in has started to take Jiang's shop seriously.
Some people may have heard of this store at first, but for fruits and vegetables, most wealthy people have their own regular suppliers, and they buy expensive high-quality products. They occasionally eat ordinary farm products, which are also produced by familiar manufacturers.
They won't easily place an order at this kind of store.
But people I know have a different opinion after experiencing such obvious effects.
Unfortunately, when we really discovered this store, it was already the Chinese New Year and the store was empty. Then it was the Chinese New Year, and the boss of Xianrun generously purchased it on behalf of the customers, successfully getting the ingredients from Jiang's store on everyone's dining table.
The Ning family found out about this store a little late.
Honey had not yet been put on the shelves, and other ingredients were in short supply. Only milk vetch was hot-selling. Ning Jianxi, the Ning family's grandson, was being rescued. He woke up when the milk vetch was out of stock, but the food was no longer fresh. At this time, it was difficult for him to even have a normal meal. Naturally, the Ning family did not dare to let him eat, so he could only eat it himself with tears.
As I ate, my tears stopped.
Because the Ning family discovered that the ingredients produced by the Jiang family store are indeed good for the human body.
In the past, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night long. But since she started eating Chinese milk vetch in different ways every day, she has been able to sleep well. Within two days, Ning's mother, who was pale because of her son's distress, looked a little rosier.
Although Ning Jianxi was still receiving emergency treatment at the time, it is no exaggeration to say that all members of the Ning family saw hope.
Therefore, when strawberries appeared, the Ning family immediately placed an order with Xianrun. The other party already had a group of people there, which was much more convenient than them.
So on the night the strawberries were sold, they were squeezed into juice and appeared in Ning Jianxi's ward, and his family carefully fed him two mouthfuls.
The bright red strawberries are also a beautiful red when made into juice. When poured into the cup, the air is filled with the sweet and refreshing strawberry scent.
Just by smelling it, Ning's parents felt that the food was of good quality. Seeing that the young man, who had lost his appetite due to body pain, seemed to have more spirit in his eyes after reluctantly drinking two small sips, they were overjoyed. If they hadn't been worried about being in the hospital, they would have wanted to cheer loudly.
Apparently he can eat it!
However, he was still weak and had just been released from the intensive care unit, so the Ning family didn't dare feed him too much. They let him drink two small sips, then stopped and started feeding him other things.
Mother Ning watched her husband feeding their son and said with relief, "Finally, he can eat something. I'll go thank Sister Du later."
Ning Jianxi blinked twice.
He was very handsome, but because of his illness, his appearance was abnormally pale and thin, causing his cheeks to become a little thin and disfigured, but he still looked very good.
He spoke slowly, his voice weak and revealing a sense of doubt: "Sister Du?"
After the accident, her son lost some of his memory and was confused about everything. Ning's mother explained softly, "Yes, she lives in the same district as us, but you don't know her well. She's the same age as mom. Thanks to her, she said the ingredients in this restaurant are of very good quality and that eating them regularly is good for your health. She has lung cancer, but it's under control now. So, take care of yourself. Eat more in the future. When you feel better, mom will take you there to live for a while. You will definitely get better faster."
Ning Jianxi sipped the food his father brought to his lips, looked at the hope in his parents' eyes, and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Ning's parents looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The son had suffered a great disaster and was not in his right mind. He could not bear to see them worrying and suffering for him, and said several discouraging words. Until a few days before the New Year, he suddenly changed his previous decadence and cooperated very well with all the methods they tried.
Just cooperate.
Even if it means sacrificing their own lives, they want their son to survive, let alone something that can be done by just spending some money, they will try their best.
Now that the first step has been verified, the next step is to speed up the progress over there, hoping that at least someone will be able to stay in the hotel by the time my son can leave the hospital.
Seeing that her son was still eating, Ning's mother took her cell phone and went out to call her family to tell them about this matter and ask them to help supervise the matter. She and her husband were busy with their son's affairs and could not take care of the hotel matters themselves.
*
So the next day.
The leadership team of Jiangjia Village received the news that the construction team had arrived!
The resort hotel has officially started construction!!!

The author has something to say: [Question mark] As soon as the male protagonist appeared, I felt that it was going to end. Then, as I wrote, I found that it was indeed... the final stage.
