Tomorrow will be the first day of the trial operation of the Linjia Village tourist area.
"Everyone must be fully focused tomorrow. The success or failure of the Linjia Village Tourist Area depends on tomorrow. We must make a name for ourselves in the Linjia Village Tourist Area!"
"good!"
The villagers below are full of energy. These people are all employees of the Linjia Village Tourist Area, responsible for receiving guests and some tourist facilities in the scenic area and tourist area.
The Black Wolf brothers were also there; they were in charge of the archery project and security, respectively.
On the last day of preparations, Song Anxin dared not let her guard down. She instructed, "Black Wolf, Black Leopard, Black Tail, there will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow. You guys must strengthen patrols and prevent any accidents from happening in the scenic area, especially the river fishing and boating activities."
Black Wolf and his companions nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Alright, everyone go and check and familiarize yourselves with the facilities and duties you'll be responsible for tomorrow. Make sure there are no mistakes tomorrow."
After everyone responded, they went to their respective areas of responsibility.
After making the arrangements, Song Anxin went to the market area with Lin Lizheng. The market area was a wide and clean road paved with stone bricks, with two rows of two-story houses standing opposite each other on both sides of the road.
“Fengnian’s mother, I never thought that our Linjia Village could become like this one day! This street actually has everything for eating, drinking, living and transportation, and the villagers can even open shops in their own village.”
Lin Li was filled with emotion and excitement.
After the Linjia Village market was built, it was rented out to the public. Some merchants sensed the business opportunities and rented shops in the market to open stores.
Villagers who participated in the construction of the tourist area received preferential rent for the first few months, and some villagers rented shops with a try-it-out mentality. Areas for street vendors were also planned on the street.
Meanwhile, Song Anxin's family's long-cherished dream of owning a restaurant business has finally come to fruition. The largest and most eye-catching shop in the middle of the street is Dafeng Weixuan. Her eldest brother and A Si also run a carpentry shop, making and selling furniture and small trinkets. Qianwei Bar has also opened its second branch here.
"Mom, you're here! Granny Zheng has made some new snacks and drinks based on your recipes. Come and try them to see if they taste right."
Song Mei, heavily pregnant, saw her mother rushing out to greet her from the street outside the door, and then greeted the village head.
Lin Lizheng said, "Then you go ahead with your work, Fengnian Niang. I'll go check on Tianlin Inn."
Tianlin Inn is an inn run by the collective of Linjia Village, so merchants from outside the village no longer need to travel to the county to rest when they come to Linjia Village to purchase goods.
Song Anxin said goodbye to the village head and helped Song Mei walk into the restaurant: "You, with such a big belly, don't worry about things here. What if the kitchen staff gets hurt?"
Song Mei's belly is huge now, and Song Anxin is worried that something might happen. Fortunately, her due date is next month, and their family will be welcoming two little babies. Thinking about it, she is quite excited to be a grandmother.
"Mother, I'll be careful. I just can't stay idle and wanted to come and see. Don't forget that I'm a pretty good cook and can help out a bit. Besides, I also like food." Song Mei said with a smile.
The two went to the kitchen, where Granny Zheng handed Song Anxin half a bamboo tube with cloud-shaped layers of cream on top.
She said excitedly, "My lady, please try it and see if it tastes like what you want. Oh my, my lady, you really know how to come up with ideas. This goat milk and tea together, paired with this soft and sweet cream, is absolutely delicious."
"Yes, Mother, I just tried it, and it tastes better than ever before! Fourth Brother, Erxi, and Dongzi also really like this milk tea, and each of them took a cup to school."
Lin Fengyao has now transferred to Linjia Village School.
Song Anxin took a sip. Hmm, although the taste wasn't as good as it was in her time, it was still pretty good.
Da Feng Wei Xuan is a combination of a restaurant and a teahouse, where people can eat, have snacks, or drink afternoon tea. It also has a small window at the far end of the front of the restaurant called the beverage station, where people can buy drinks directly from the beverage station.
The snacks and drinks all require a lot of goat milk, which comes from Lin Daliang.
The next day was a sunny and pleasant day. After breakfast, Song Anxin went to the Linjia Village market. All the shops in the market were ready to welcome customers, and there were also many villagers' stalls on the streets.
Before long, two or three carriages entered the market, and seven or eight scholars who looked like students got off.
After getting off the bus, the group looked into the market and were surprised to find that the streets were neat and clean, the shops were full of everything, and the vendors were calling out their wares.
"I never expected that this small village market could be run so well, it's in no way inferior to the city market."
"Yes, look at the rows of trees planted on both sides of the street. I don't know what they mean, but they are quite pleasing to the eye."
"Hey, look here, there are road signs. If you walk straight ahead... Zhang is the scenic area, and if you walk straight ahead... Zhang is the recreation area. Let's go, let's go to the scenic area first," said a young student.
“Alright, let’s enjoy the scenery first, and then have lunch at Dafengweixuan, which is run by Lady Hui. I’ve heard that the food at Lady Hui’s restaurant is excellent! Even the eunuchs from the palace praised it highly and took some back for the Emperor to try. We’ll also try the food that the Emperor tasted.”
A group of students agreed with the suggestion. At this moment, another student said, "How about we walk there? This market has a certain charm. Since we're here, why not take a good look around?"
The villagers guarding the market entrance immediately stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, would you like to stop your carriage? It costs five coins per carriage, and no matter how long you stay, we will provide the horses with water and grass."
This is a parking service provided by the market, and the profits belong to the Linjia Village collective. There are parking spaces not only at the market entrance, but also at the entrances of the scenic area and recreation area if you don't want to visit the market.
This amount of money was nothing to the students, and they paid the parking fee without even thinking about it.
One student laughed and said, "I didn't expect the Linjia Village market to be so well-organized. Now even if someone comes alone on horseback to enjoy the scenery, they don't have to worry about their horse being stolen."
Several students echoed this sentiment, praising the parking service. Afterward, the group of scholars and students walked to the scenic area.
As the sun slowly rose, more and more people and horse-drawn carriages flocked to the market, and the Linjia Village market suddenly became lively. Whether people were going to the scenic area or the tourist area, they had to pass through the entire street. As they passed through the street, they would notice the shops and stalls on the side and would unconsciously buy things.
"Come on, some new gadgets! Tangrams, nine-link puzzles, chess, checkers, flying chess, jigsaw puzzles, Jenga...hey!"
