Summer Limited Seaside Shop (End of article)
Jane Xing had never been so far away.
She was a little uneasy, "Nuannuan Hot Spring, is there a lot of people there?"
"It's okay." Hearing her hidden meaning, Shu Mo took her hand, tilted his head and smiled, "Be with me, there's nothing to worry about."
Jian Xing recalled the string of zeros after Shu Mo's name on the sky list during the event and said "Oh" softly.
Indeed, there is no more reassuring promise in the world.
She put her heart back into her stomach.
Before leaving, Shu Mo said that the distance from here to the teleportation array was too far, and he had to bring something to cool off, while taking out a grape-flavored popsicle from the freezer.
With a snap, break it into two pieces with force.
She generously handed half of it to Jane Xing.
The two of them set off while biting into popsicles.
"You don't know, my dream when I was a child was to open a small store at home so that I could eat whatever I wanted. I always felt that life like that would be very happy." Shu Mo said vaguely.
The popsicle was frozen very solid. Before it slowly melted, I could only bite the broken side and lick off the sweet and sour juice bit by bit. Not long after he took it, his hand turned red from the cold, leaving a water stain on the palm. Shu Mo quickly changed his hand.
Jian Xing recalled Shu Mo's carefree attitude when he randomly picked out items from the full freezer, and nodded enviously, "It's really a blessing."
"Really?" Shu Mo was proud, then smiled again, "But that's my dream."
"What is your dream?"
"My dream?" Jian Xing was confused.
She followed Shu Mo's words and thought about it carefully, "I don't know yet..."
They could already see the town's gate, and beyond the gate, it seemed like another world was on the other side.
Shu Mo squeezed her hand, and a smiling voice came from a little above her head.
“It doesn’t matter, because it took me a long time to find what I really want to do.”
*
In the past few days, Shu Mo has used the remote control system to gradually add a lot of new cooling foods to Nuannuan Hot Spring.
The restaurant also offers a series of summer snacks such as cold noodles, cold skin and jelly for customers who have no appetite to choose from.
At the weekend market, residents take out homemade popsicles, wrap them in thick quilts, and sell them at stalls.
Some people are creative and use ice cubes frozen from pure water to make smoothies, top them with homemade jam and fresh fruit pulp, and sell them as shaved ice. Because the process is quite time-consuming, even though the price is 30 points per bowl, it is still sold out like crazy.
The streets are especially busy after sunset every day. Some people fish by the lake, some camp and have picnics, and some go for a walk by the lake as the sun sets.
The summer sky is clear and high, and the sunset is brilliant and warm, making it the perfect weather for a walk.
Jian Xing grew up in a seaside city. Looking at the mountains in front of him, he was almost fascinated.
She was holding half of a newly-made ice cream puff from the bakery in her hand. She came to her senses after being poked by Shu Mo. The ice cream filling in the puff had already melted a little and was about to fall on her wrist, so she quickly caught it with her mouth.
Just now, Shu Mo and his men came out of the teleportation array. Before they even reached the commercial street, they were stopped by Lao He, who forced them to try some new things.
I heard that he is also planning to make some milk pudding, matcha and chocolate cones to sell in the store.
"When the time comes, I'll have to trouble the boss to sell me some more eggs for making ice cream cones..." Lao He said embarrassedly, and at the same time pushed those things into Shu Mo's hands.
Seeing Jian Xing standing next to Shu Mo, he handed her another copy attentively.
"Of course." Shu Mo agreed.
This happened again and again in the hot pot restaurant, breakfast shop, and other shops along the way.
Even when Xie Qingyun passed by, he gave the girl brought by the boss a small wooden sculpture he made for practice.
Jane Xing's hands were soon filled with things.
There were so many things to see and so much fragrance to smell, and even the wood carvings that were given as gifts were so exquisite that she couldn't let them go. Almost every one of them was something Jian Xing had never seen before.
For the first time, she felt so clearly the gap between Bauhinia Town and the outside world.
Or in other words, the difference between hot springs.
Jian Xing was a little absent-minded, his eyes constantly scanning the streets, as if he wanted to imprint everything he saw in his mind.
Shu Mo had been paying attention to her expression. Instead of feeling lonely, she gradually became happy.
She absorbed everything strange around her like a dry sponge and turned it into her own nourishment.
"I think I understand." Jian Xing finally spoke when the two of them walked to the bar at the end of the street.
Shu Mo said, "Hmm?"
Jian Xing thought carefully and said slowly: "Rather than thinking about how to use the Lord System to build a town, it is better to think of ways to attract more people to Bauhinia Town."
"Whether it's long-term residence or travel, as long as people come here, there will be consumption."
They need shelter and food. So naturally, some people will start running hotels, restaurants, snack stands, and shops, and there will also be people like Lao He who will try their best to develop different products in order to meet the needs of customers.
As a result, the variety of goods on the market has been enriched, residents have made money, and will continue to consume locally.
Building houses, establishing new shops, developing the entertainment industry...all these demands will create new jobs, allowing more people to go out of their homes and earn money through labor.
There was no need for her to go through the trouble of upgrading and renovating each room one by one; the town had its own vitality.
It only needs a little sunshine and a little rain to thrive.
What Bauhinia Town really lacks is just the "clear stream" that was injected at the beginning.
"But where should I go to find these first tourists?"
As Jian Xing spoke, she began to feel distressed again.
The hot spring has a tall and straight hotel building, where you can experience various activities such as bathing, chess and cards, and dining without leaving your home. There are also various specialty shops with rich flavors in the park, as well as experience projects such as fishing, boating, catching fish, and feeding chickens.
——It even has a huge playground!
Jian Xing just stared at the towering water slide for a long time.
In comparison, there isn't even a decent shop in Bauhinia Town.
"If we want to attract tourists, we have to decorate the town first..." Isn't this just going back to the beginning?
At this moment, Shu Mo raised his fist, put it to his lips, and coughed very deliberately.
Her expression was a little strange: Is this what it means to be in a dark place under a lamp? She never thought that Jian Xing would be troubled by this matter.
“How to attract tourists should be the last thing you need to worry about, right?”
Recalling the dreamy town shrouded in pink and purple smoke, Shu Mo turned to look at Jian Xing.
"After all, Bauhinia Town is so beautiful."
No one could fail to be moved by her.
*
After Shu Mo finished speaking, Jian Xing's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought again. Shu Mo didn't rush to call her, and took Jian Xing, who was like a little tail, to the fresh food supermarket again.
This time, she was also responsible for purchasing.
After eating seafood for five days, Shu Mo still felt a little sick of it, so he planned to bring some fresh fruits and vegetables back to improve his diet.
After walking around the supermarket and throwing a few items he liked into the shopping cart, Shu Mo soon received envious and jealous looks from the customers.
It was the first time for them to know that there were shopping carts in fresh food supermarkets!
The vast majority of goods are subject to purchase limits and can be picked up with one hand. The most you can do is to grab a shopping basket from the door - who would be as extravagant as the boss and take so many things that there is no room for even a basket?
Shu Mo walked around and didn't pass by the cashier, so he put the goods directly into his backpack, then wandered off to look for Jian Xing who had disappeared inexplicably in the middle of his shopping.
When she found it, she was standing in a daze in front of the condiment area that took up an entire wall.
Pepper, chili powder, honey, cumin powder, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar...the variety of hot spring condiments is extremely rich. Compared with Bauhinia Town where only simple sea salt is available, it is like heaven and earth.
The rich aroma of the barbecue at the beach that day seemed to float in the air again.
Even though he knew he couldn't smell it, Jian Xing still sniffed hard.
Feeling Shu Mo approaching, she quickly turned around, "Boss, can I talk to you?"
As expected, Jian Xing proposed a deal with Wenquan.
- Make use of the rich seafood resources in Bauhinia Town and exchange them for seasonings with Nuannuan Hot Spring.
Shu Mo's words reminded Jian Xing that the scenery that was commonplace and the food that was boring to him might have precious value in the eyes of different people.
She recalled how everyone's eyes lit up at the seafood that Grandpa Jian brought, and spoke cautiously.
With condiments, the diet of the small town residents can be greatly improved. More importantly, all kinds of special foods made from seafood are definitely a powerful tool to attract foreign tourists.
With the scenery and delicious food, the next step is to free up a few empty houses in the town to turn them into hotels, or encourage residents to run their own B&Bs. Once the food and accommodation problems are solved, the rest of the problems will be much simpler.
The reason why only seasonings were requested was purely because the population of the entire town was too large. Jian Xing just took a look at the supply of fresh food supermarkets and was afraid that it was far from meeting the needs of Bauhinia Town. It would be better to develop the tourism industry first. Once the residents have money, they can come to the hot springs for vacation by themselves, and she would not have to worry about it at all.
Although the plan was still in its infancy, Jian Xing became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
I just don't know if the boss will agree...
She looked at Shu Mo nervously.
Then she saw the other party nodded in an instant, as if he had been waiting for her to speak for a long time.
"sure!"
Just kidding, she has been coveting those seafood for a long time.
It is too troublesome to have a barbecue. You have to pick up stones to build a stove, look for firewood in the mountains to light the fire, and sweat profusely while guarding the hot stove in the hot weather... It is better to leave this kind of thing to others!
What's more, once the deal is reached, we can eat fresh seafood without having to go to the beach for vacation.
It's something that has all kinds of benefits, so why not do it?
Shu Mo happily agreed.
She pulled Jian Xing into the teahouse across the street, ordered two delicate petal-shaped snacks, and began to "talk business" seriously.
Shu Mo's family is wealthy and powerful. The wealth she alone possesses is probably richer than that of many densely populated towns. She would not bother to covet the insignificant property of Bauhinia Town. Therefore, the terms of this cooperation were negotiated extremely fairly. Even though Jian Xing didn't know much about these things, he could tell that Wenquan did not take advantage of them.
Even some interests were actively tilted.
For example, after the cooperation is finalized, Wenquan will promote Bauhinia Town on the bulletin board for free for a week. In the future, as a partner, if Jian Xing and others need to place advertisements, they can also enjoy preferential discounts.
For example, Nuannuan Hot Spring will establish a transmission channel with Bauhinia Town, which will be open at fixed times.
"After all, I have an 'industry' in your place." Shu Mo said, "If the tourism industry in Bauhinia Town develops, my shop will also do better."
Jian Xing didn't understand what he heard and always felt that something was wrong.
Looking at the vast park area around him, does Shu Mo really need the money to run that small shop? How much money can a store of this size make?
To take a step back, even if the purpose is really to develop small shops, building a passage and doing publicity in the center of the park where there are many tourists, isn't that too big a deal?
...In order to improve the business of their own convenience store, they simply promote the development of surrounding cities? ?
Jian Xing was dizzy by this shocking statement.
"besides……"
"The partners of the hot springs all have corresponding welfare benefits, such as employee dormitories, consumption discounts, hotel discounts..." Shu Mo said, and glanced in a certain direction outside the window. Jian Xing followed the direction and saw the tall water slide in the water park that he had just glimpsed. "There are also free visits to the water park. You can bring up to two friends to enter together."
"There is one every quarter, don't forget it," she reminded with a smile.
Jian Xing was a little bit unbelievable at first.
She had never been to a place like a water park.
After confirming it was true, she obviously couldn't sit still, "Who should I take with me then... Grandpa is old, I'm afraid he can't play..."
Can I only bring people of the same age?
The images of several childhood playmates flashed quickly through Jian Xing’s mind.
After their mother left, they gradually drifted apart.
But this time, could she invite them to go with her?
Seeing Jian Xing feeling uneasy, Shu Mo smiled and took a bite of the snack.
The benefits that Hot Springs provides to its partners are indeed generous, but before this, park tickets were not included.
Even so, it is a special benefit for this underage collaborator.
*
After quickly finalizing the content of the cooperation, Shu Mo drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then got down to business.
To be honest, at first the thought of talking about this with Shu Mo made Jian Xing very nervous.
After all, she was still a child who had just entered puberty. Even if she tried to imitate her mother, she was still very clumsy.
But she didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.
Then, Shu Mo's topic went a little off topic.
"Ahem, in addition to barbecue and stir-fry, you can also open a few specialty stores. I remember that every household in your place sells dried seafood. That one will definitely sell well."
Shu Mo himself has been tempted several times when he saw the flowers drying in front of other people's houses when he passed by.
"Shrimp, dried shrimp, scallops, kelp, seaweed, dried fish, etc...." She tried to maintain her image in front of the little sister. "Most inland tourists passing by will want to buy some local specialties to bring back. These things are delicious and practical, and they are rare in other places. They must be popular."
“You can also pick up shells and conchs and string them together with thin thread, make them into handicrafts and sell them at stalls.” Shu Mo suggested.
Just like most people who go to Disney will buy Mickey Mouse ears to wear on their heads, shell pendants are the most marine-flavored accessories.
As long as the price is not too expensive, most people will feel that they have come...
Shu Mo's mind worked quickly and he came up with several ideas in a short time. The tourist town that originally existed only in the imagination gradually became clearer and closer and closer and became within reach.
Jian Xing on the opposite side listened with admiration on his face.
She never thought there were so many things to do!
For a moment, I wanted to find a notebook to take notes.
The tea was refilled twice and the conversation was almost over, so Shu Mo opened the management system, generated a contract based on the previous content, sent it to Jian Xing for confirmation, and then signed it.
For fear that she would be worried, I asked the system to generate a paper version for her to keep.
Jian Xing held this thin piece of paper in his hand, his heart pounding. He felt that everything around him was the same as before, but somehow, something seemed different.
She realized belatedly that...she seemed to have done something great!
Later, the two appeared again on the dilapidated teleportation array in Bauhinia Town, but Jian Xing's state of mind was very different from when he left.
She reached out and touched the lower branches, and whispered, "Although I don't know what my dream is yet, I seem to have found what I want to do."
All she wanted was to make this beautiful, flower-filled town that her mother loved so much a little better than it was now.
Then, a little better.
Maybe, this can also be considered a dream?
*
The news that Bauhinia Town was going to open up its tourism business and attract tourists spread back to the town, naturally causing a sensation.
The residents knew the sacrifices Jane Xing had made, and usually looked at her somewhat as an elder. But they never thought that such a young lord would have the courage to make such drastic reforms.
Plus, it sounds pretty credible!
Quietly, a deal was reached with that Nuannuan Hot Spring.
They had never heard of the name of Nuannuan Hot Spring in the past, but Shu Mo's name had been hanging high in the sky for so many days, it was so well-known that it was hard not to know it.
When they heard that she was the owner of the hot spring, everyone was excited.
Not only that, after signing the contract, Jian Xing immediately brought back a batch of seasonings, and specially cleared out an area in the town hall, converted it into a store, and put the seasonings on the shelves the next day with a note indicating that they were for limited sale.
The line almost stretched outside the town.
This building, which seemed particularly desolate due to being deserted for many years, was affected by the bustling crowd and actually showed some of its former grandeur under the sunlight.
Shu Mo went to take a look and discovered that there was a strange young man sitting in the store, and there was another person in the back who was in charge of sorting the goods. The two of them originally had no proper jobs and had been doing odd jobs at home. Now, they have finally been assigned suitable jobs. Although they are busy, they look very happy.
Shu Mo was just a little bit surprised, "Why don't you ask Grandpa Jian to come?"
Shouldn't this kind of work be given priority to family members?
"Oh, he's been busy with other things these days." Jian Xing said, showing his two little fangs while smiling.
Grandpa Jian has been leading people in building boats these days.
The small boats commonly used by residents today can usually only accommodate one or two people, let alone carry much cargo. However, if they are used to entertain tourists and open restaurants, such small boats are obviously not enough. Several families have contributed labor and have been working hard these past few days to build a large fishing boat.
As an experienced fisherman, Grandpa Jian is in charge of on-site command. His powerful voice can be heard from a long distance away.
In addition, there were people in the town who were responsible for rebuilding the hotel, people who were responsible for sewing bedding and pillowcases overnight, and people who were busy chopping trees in the back mountain to make bamboo sticks for barbecue...
Although the tourists have not arrived yet, the residents have already entered into the festive atmosphere.
Except for the hottest few hours every day, we are busy from sunrise to sunset.
Of course, I didn’t forget to buy the daily sweet soup on time.
After work, the iced dessert tastes even more delicious.
The amazing thing is that although the people in the town were working hard and sweating in such weather, no one fell down due to heat stroke.
I don’t know if it was because of the daily ice drinks, or because the disease had been reluctant to get better, but half of the reason was actually due to the dull and hopeless life.
But that kind of life changed quietly when that small seaside shop appeared.
…
After a busy month, Bauhinia Town finally officially started receiving foreign tourists!
The bulletin board of Nuannuan Hot Spring finally came in handy. It had been preheated for a whole week before and attracted a lot of people's attention.
Sunshine, sea, beach... Even though the hottest period has passed, the combination of these three can still excite people's nerves.
What these tourists who came to the beach didn’t expect was that after arriving here, the first thing that caught their eyes was the redbud flowers blooming all over the city. It is dotted among the town's quaint blue-gray stone walls and cobblestone roads, adding a unique touch of charm.
"Is this place so beautiful?" they kept exclaiming.
When we arrived at the B&B we booked, our satisfaction reached a new level.
——A list of all the homestays in the town had been compiled half a month earlier, detailing their respective advantages and locations, and was handed over to Shu Mo. All tourists can book accommodation directly at Nuannuan Hot Spring before traveling without any extra worries.
The employee in charge of reservations was also from Bauhinia Town. Because he needed to stay in the hot spring for a long time, he was assigned to a dormitory room and enjoyed the same treatment as other employees. The girl was shaking with excitement and worked even harder.
The people in the town were not willing to lag behind and made great efforts to prepare. Take this B&B for example. It looks like it has been carefully tidied up. Although its appearance is consistent with other houses, the interior has been completely renovated.
All the furniture was brand new and shiny, and since there were few mosquitoes, the windows were opened wide for ventilation. The sea breeze fluttered the snow-white curtains, and there was a fresh flower in the vase on the windowsill.
Just this branch of flowers with dew on them is enough to make people feel very favorable and make the holiday mood even more pleasant.
After settling in, I packed my luggage and went downstairs to find food. The landlord immediately came up to me and handed me a map of the town.
Several homestays, restaurants that provide catering services, snack bars, specialty shops, barbecue restaurants, and routes to the beach are all marked out.
There aren't many things here, but they all have local characteristics and don't feel particularly commercial, which actually caters to the appetites of tourists who want to "vacation in a remote town away from the hustle and bustle."
As for this map, Jian Xing got it from when he went to Nuannuan Hot Spring to "study".
Having a map + guide drawn by a local can save you a lot of trouble!
"The restaurant employs the best chefs in town, and uses wild vegetables picked early in the morning and freshly caught seafood, so they are guaranteed to be fresh," the landlord assured, patting his chest.
These facilities were installed a while ago, and Jian Xing conducted a trial operation according to Shu Mo's suggestion. He invited many people in the town to taste the food and collected opinions in a serious manner.
With the added seasoning from the warm hot springs, who wouldn’t praise it after trying it? It’s been a few days since I returned home, and the fragrance still seems to linger in my mouth.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to tourists.
The tourists found the small restaurant according to the landlord's recommendation. Along the way, they inevitably stopped to look around and appreciate the scenery of the town. By the time we arrived, we were already starving.
After sitting down, we ordered several recommended dishes at once.
Not long after, the waiter quickly brought out several hot dishes. The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are crispy and slightly bitter at first, but after chewing them carefully, you can taste the fragrance of wild vegetables. The seafood steamed egg is luxuriously filled with shrimps and scallops. The egg custard is smooth and delicate, without a trace of flaws or eggy smell. Every bite of it brings a full sense of happiness.
Not to mention the stir-fried clams that you absolutely cannot avoid. The tender clam meat is soaked in the soup, which is fresh, fragrant and spicy, and is the best dish to go with rice. One can't help wanting to lick all the soup out of the clam shell.
There are also fish slices as thin as cicada wings, fried fish that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and sweet and chewy fish ball soup...
A good cook cannot cook without rice. In the past, the reason why residents ate so poorly was purely because of the scarcity of resources. Now that we have cooking oil and seasonings, the chefs of the past would immediately roll up their sleeves and get into the action, steaming, frying, and stir-frying, trying all kinds of ways to cook a single fish.
I had a great time doing this, but still felt unsatisfied: I have never made hard dishes like chopped pepper fish head or boiled fish!
Most of the chefs who were assigned to Bauhinia Town lived by the sea before the game. They are best at cooking seafood. The dishes they prepare are so delicious and attractive that they make people drool.
By the end of the meal, the diners had round bellies and slumped in their chairs, not wanting to move at all.
Looking at the menu again, I found that there were quite a few items I had not tasted before. I immediately let out a happy sigh: It seems that I will have a good time eating during the next few days I stay in town.
The raw materials used in this restaurant, such as eggs, rice, etc., are all provided by Nuannuan Hot Spring.
The quantity is small, just enough to supply tourists, but it cannot be put on the shelves of the town’s stores.
Jian Xing explained this to everyone early in the morning, and the residents had no objections.
Life is much better now than in the past!
As for the delicacies, although they couldn't eat them themselves, they were very satisfied just looking at them.
Looking at my gradually filling wallet, I feel even more satisfied.
...Every dish sold brings in real income.
Now that you have an income, are you afraid that you won’t be able to buy these things in the future?
They are not afraid of not having enough food to eat now, but what they are more afraid of is that there is no hope for the town.
But now, Bauhinia Town is obviously getting better day by day, and the current predicament has immediately become bearable.
…
The diners were so engrossed in their eating that when they came to their senses, they found their clothes were soaked with sweat. They also ate spicy food and felt a little hot.
They waved to the restaurant owner and asked, "Do you have any drinks or something to cool you down?"
Having said that, I don't hold out much hope.
Unexpectedly, the boss was stunned and looked at them with a complicated and conflicted expression on his face.
After a while, he seemed to think that they were his first wave of customers and should be treated well, so he nodded and said, "Yes. It's our own drink. If you don't mind, you can try it too."
As he spoke, he asked his children to bring two cups of sour plum soup from somewhere.
The sour plum soup was bought not long ago and was still a little cool. The guests never expected such an unexpected surprise. When they took it in their hands and felt the slight coolness, they felt even thirstier and could not wait to drink it up in one gulp. It is as refreshing as rain after a long drought.
"It tastes good! Iced sour plum soup is the best drink in summer!"
They breathed a sigh of relief and asked expectantly, "Anything else?"
boss:"……"
The little guy who brought the sour plum soup looked like he was about to cry.
He himself couldn't bear to drink it! I was planning to save it for the hottest time in the afternoon and drink it slowly, but I finished it in one gulp!
...and they still think it’s not enough!
The boss shook his head helplessly and pointed, "If you want more, you can go to the small shop outside the city. There are not only sour plum soup, but also various desserts and snacks for sale. The variety is very rich."
"The view from the terrace outside is also great. We recently put up a parasol. Many people like to go there when they have nothing to do. They sit there and enjoy the sea breeze while eating ice cream. There are trees nearby, and cool breezes blow from time to time in the house. It's much cooler than in town."
Not only that, Shu Mo even set up a net on the nearby beach, and divided teams into groups to play beach volleyball at sunset. Young people love to join in the fun.
Guests: “……?”
Why does this description sound so familiar?
They suppressed their doubts and said goodbye to the enthusiastic boss and his family after paying the bill.
When you walk out of the store, take a deep breath and the salty smell of the sea breeze rushes into your lungs. The town is quiet and peaceful at noon. Local residents rarely go out. Only the cicadas' noisy, warm and lingering sounds can be heard.
Tourists walked in the shadow of the stone wall, avoiding the sun. Their fingertips occasionally brushed against the rough bumps on the wall, feeling its weathered lines, and their hearts were suddenly touched.
I always feel that they seem to have fallen in love with this town.
…
After returning to the B&B to take a short rest and avoid the summer heat, the tourists couldn't wait to go out again.
This time, the destination is the same - directly to the mysterious "seaside shop" outside the city!
The reason is simple. As long as you stay in Bauhinia Town for more than half a day, you will hear the same words from various channels, including B&B owners, restaurant owners, and kind passers-by.
"If you go to the beach, you must visit that store!"
Everyone looks happy when talking about it, which arouses people's infinite curiosity.
With the help of signboards, they found the shop in no time. On the way, they first marveled at the beautiful scenery before them, the highly saturated sea and the large white clouds floating low on the sea. Then, they followed the path towards the wooden house in the distance.
The cabin has not undergone many upgrades and its appearance remains almost original. Therefore, it blends in harmoniously with the surrounding scenery. It's like a fairy tale cottage.
You have to get closer to hear a little bit of human voice.
On the wooden platform at the door of the store, a blue and white parasol stood diagonally, casting a large shadow. Several young girls were sitting under an umbrella, holding popsicles in their mouths, excitedly exchanging the small cards in their instant noodles.
When he saw a stranger coming over, he just looked up, smiled friendly, and continued doing his own thing.
In the store, many people were walking between the shelves. Because the store is not very spacious, except for the shelves and freezers against the wall, the rest are low cabinets that are up to an adult's chest, creating a very open visual effect.
Even so, the area can still be scanned at a glance.
They quickly captured the colorful packaging on the shelves, which was just right for adults...but not childish enough for children. Almost at the same time, an irrepressible feeling of nostalgia welled up in the hearts of the tourists.
Instant noodles, soda candy, spicy strips, cola popsicles, fruit candies, and various puffed foods...
Why is there no such childhood convenience store in hot springs? ?
Their eyes turned green with envy.
I rushed in quickly to buy everything, and when I was paying for a bunch of things, I discovered that the person standing behind the counter was a familiar face.
"Xiao Gu!"
Regular customers of the spa exclaimed.
They were asking why they hadn’t seen Gu Xiao recently, and it turned out that he was assigned here...that’s not right.
The guests looked at Shu Mo who came out from behind, and their expressions changed again and again.
No wonder, no wonder this demand is precisely targeted, and the feeling of having your wallet quickly emptied is so familiar.
It's you!
“So, the reason why Wenquan helps promote this tourist town is because it also owns shares in it?” They suddenly realized.
At first, everyone thought that it was an advertisement paid for by Bauhinia Town itself.
When I got over there and saw the town, I found it a bit strange.
Bauhinia Town doesn't look like it's rich enough to do that kind of huge advertisement.
"It turns out the boss is supporting them behind the scenes." The guests were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
First, they turned the hot springs into a unique tourist resort, and now they are starting to develop other undiscovered tourist attractions in the world to seize the initiative...
"As expected of you..."
Everyone was amazed.
This is such a good way to do business!
Shu Mo touched his head and said in a very humble voice: "Thank you very much..."
Although I always feel that my image seems a little distorted, but who cares!
Aren’t they having a lot of fun?
Shu Mo: Arrogant with arms akimbo.jpg
*
After the short trip of several days, the tourists left reluctantly.
When she left, she had a shell necklace around her neck, and her bag was filled with a bag of dried shrimps as big as her head to take back for making soup and cooking, as well as a full bag of 50-cent food.
Who asked the boss to be so heartless that he actually said that this store will not open a branch in Hot Springs and all the products are "limited to Bauhinia Town"!
Is this reasonable?
Too much!
Even though they complained in their hearts, they still honestly made a special trip there before leaving, treating the seaside shop as a check-in point like a duty-free shop.
When they left, they nodded without hesitation in response to the teleportation array staff's enthusiastic greeting of "Come again next time".
"Of course, of course."
"I must."
Even if it’s just for the spicy noodles, you have to come here often.
What's more, they really fell in love with this town.
The scenery is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the residents are warm and simple, everything far exceeded their expectations before they came.
I haven't left yet, but I already feel reluctant to leave.
In addition, in order to protect the ecology of the town, Jian Xing, after discussing with Shu Mo, deliberately controlled the number of guests received each time. The tourists' travel experience is guaranteed to the best of its ability. There will never be a situation where there are crowds of tourists everywhere and you cannot see the local customs and culture.
Due to the huge disparity between the number of tourists and locals, many people will deliberately restrain themselves after realizing their identity as visitors, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of the town, and their quality has improved invisibly.
In this way, although the income is not higher than bringing in a large number of tourists at one time, it ensures the reputation of Bauhinia Town.
Everyone who went back was full of praise.
Before I even had time to pack my luggage, I started promoting the product to my friends and relatives.
At the same time, he took out a bag of spicy noodles from his backpack and said, "Look at this, hey, it's only available locally..."
Friends and relatives: “…”
Oh my god! Can't I go? !

The tourism business in Bauhinia Town was booming, the number of visitors increased, and the shop business was even better. Shu Mo added new things to the shop from time to time, and made some repairs. Finally one day, he completely completed the side storyline.
The infrastructure construction of the "Seaside Shop" is completed.
Bauhinia Town is no longer the "forgotten town" it once was.
Shu Mo stared at the task completed panel thoughtfully.
So, does this mean that it's time for them to leave too?
Before we knew it, the hot summer weather was only a tail off.
Soon, summer will be over.
At first, everyone was complaining about the heat, but when summer was really about to leave, it actually made people feel a little lonely.
Obviously, the conditions in Bauhinia Town were inferior to those in Hot Springs in every way, but when Shu Mo announced that he was going home, everyone's reactions were a little dull.
"I've lived here for so long, I'm really reluctant to leave." Liu Yan rubbed her hands, groaned a few times, and sighed again.
During this period of time, everyone lived and ate together in this small wooden house, and it really felt like a family.
After getting over the initial inconvenience and getting used to it, all that's left is warmth.
No one wants to leave such an atmosphere.
Shu Mo looked around and found that even Mo Bai looked a little wilted, as if he had a tail, it would have drooped down by now.
Shu Mo: “…”
How can this be possible?
She clapped her hands together, "Even if summer is over, isn't there still autumn?"
The others looked up at the same time.
"Do you still remember the seeds I planted in the early spring?" Shu Mo looked forward to it. "Maybe they are almost ripe now."
Not only Shu Mo, many people also asked for seeds from the hot springs, and looked for open areas nearby to plant them experimentally.
Those are seeds that take root, sprout and break through the soil on their own without relying on the power of the system.
Maybe if we go back now, the hot spring will be surrounded by golden wheat waves.
"The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest. Aren't you looking forward to it?" Shu Mo asked with a smile.
Even after summer, there is still a lot to do.
After the wheat is harvested, you can try brewing wine, making food and wine, and making rice cakes. The beverage area may also serve a seasonal drink like wheat juice.
She counted them one by one, as if she could already smell the fragrance of wheat juice and imagine the sweet and soft texture of rice cake.
Freshly made rice cakes are steamed until they are soft and fluffy, drizzled with osmanthus syrup, or deep-fried until golden and fragrant...
Broken and hungry again.
Shu Mo braked in time, but saw that the people opposite him looked like they were daydreaming, apparently they were also caught up in the scene of harvest. They came to their senses and made a gesture of swallowing together.
Shu Mo: “…”
What is this? Don’t people from the same family stick together?
When they found Shu Mo staring at them with a funny look on his face, they felt embarrassed and wanted to laugh at the same time.
But the boss is right, this is not the end.
Cherry blossoms in spring, the seaside in summer, wheat fields in autumn, and snow scenes in winter.
The seasons would continue to change, and most importantly, they would be together.
"alright."
Shu Mo patted Mo Bai's shoulder, looked at everyone and smiled.
"Go home."
