Chapter 50
After the Lantern Festival, there were only a few days left before school started. Lin Nanzhi took advantage of this time to have the boatman take a few employees on board to plant the soaked lotus seeds along the route.
"Young boss, this water is clear. Can lotus flowers survive if they are planted in it? They need silt to grow."
Her family also had a lotus pond, which was full of mud. When she was young, she wondered why it wasn't cleaned up. Her father said that mud could provide nutrients for the lotus.
The young boss said he wanted to grow lotus flowers, but the water here is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance. Can lotus flowers really be grown here?
Lin Nanzhi had not expected to meet someone who knew the business, so he could only smile and say, "These are all new varieties, they have strong vitality, they can grow without silt, and they bloom for a long time, they can still bloom in winter."
"So amazing?" The three little girls looked shocked, and Lin Nanzhi nodded.
"Um."
The three of them stopped asking questions and started sowing seeds, hoping to see how stunning the flowers would be when they bloomed.
The lake was quite large, and Lin Nanzhi was busy from morning till noon before sowing all the seeds. He was not worried that the seeds would not grow.
When pouring water, they poured nearly five water tankers of spiritual spring water. With these five tanks of water, not only the lotus planting, but also the air nearby became fresher.
The wild flowers around here have not withered from last year to this year, so it is not difficult to keep the lotus flowers blooming until winter.
Look, the lotus flowers grew out of the water in just half a month, but they didn't bloom until April. The pink, white, and pink-white lotus flowers, paired with the lush green lotus leaves, were very beautiful.
A viewing tower was built behind the B&B, right in the center of the lotus pond. There are wooden plank roads on both sides and an arch bridge designed for boats to pass through. It is surrounded by lush green forests, making this place look like a painting.
Especially in the morning and afternoon, when the sun rises and sets, there is still some faint mist on the lake, which, combined with the red clouds in the sky, makes it like a fairyland on earth.
A lot of flyers were distributed, but no one came.
The promotion in the picture looks good, but everyone thinks it is fake promotion. After all, it is all hazy. Is there such a place that I don’t know about? I didn’t take it seriously after receiving the promotional leaflet.
Not to mention the Lin family, even the employees in the inn were worried, but Lin Nan knew that gold will always shine, and people will come slowly.
We opened in April and haven't had any rest for a month. Everyone has nothing to do and all we do every day is cleaning.
Today is May Day, many places are packed with tourists. Zhang Meili is a salesperson and is very busy every day. She hasn't had a vacation for several years. Recently, her son is preparing for the college entrance examination, but his monthly exam results are not ideal. She feels a little tired, so she plans to take her son out for a walk on May Day.
The family drove to several places, but there were too many people, which made the son even more depressed. She was ready to go home and go out of the city tomorrow, but suddenly found a tourist area flyer in the car.
She was immediately attracted by the B&B, lotus flowers, forest and the feeling of nature. She looked at the address and found that it was not far away and it would not take much time to go and take a look.
"Let's go here, it looks fun."
"This picture is so fake, there is no such place in Umeng!" The husband was not happy.
As for the boy, he just sat there in silence watching the cars passing by outside the window.
"Let's go and see. It's only 39 kilometers away. If you take the highway and there's no traffic, it'll only take about 10 minutes."
The husband had no choice but to drive there.
Zhang Meili had never been there, so she searched for the name "Wuxi Lake" on the flyer on the map, but it was not on the map. So she had to search for the name of the village on the address and navigate there.
Fifteen minutes later, the car arrived at the destination. We saw a big stone with the word "栖聲" written on it. We followed the arrow and entered the parking lot of Wuxi Lake Parking Lot.
The inn is on the mountain, surrounded by forests. As soon as you get out of the car, the heat on your body dissipates and you feel cool all over. The parking lot is not far from the top of the mountain, only about 20 meters away, so it is not tiring to climb up.
Outside the inn is a stone wall, with roses planted at the corners, colorful and in full bloom, and the breeze brings with it bursts of fragrance. I hear the pleasant sound of wind chimes, and when I look up, I see a string of wooden wind chimes hanging at the door, tinkling when the wind blows.
The door of the inn was supported by two sturdy pillars, making it square in shape. There was a thatched roof on top, and a black plaque with the Chinese characters "栖聲" (Qi Chi) written on it, depicting a scene of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes.
“It seems pretty good.”
The family of three walked into the yard with a hint of curiosity. The first thing they noticed was the two huge ginkgo trees in the yard, which looked like gatekeepers. It was clearly May, but the leaves had already turned golden yellow. The sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves seemed like a blessing from the gods.
There are a lot of green plants in the yard, and some beautiful flowers are planted, competing for beauty. There are ponds on both sides to raise carp, and in the middle is a path paved with pebbles.
At the end of the path is an antique wooden building that looks just like the ones in TV dramas.
The family walked through the door carrying their things and saw the situation inside clearly.
The inn was quite empty, with a marble floor and a few tables and chairs, and all the decorations were in an antique style. There was only a little girl sitting in front of a computer at the counter, busy with something. Behind her was a cabinet filled with tea leaves, tea sets, and various drinks.
"Hello."
Lin Nanzhi raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw that in the one month since the opening, in addition to a few relatives who came to visit, three strangers came. They were holding something in their hands, so it goes without saying that they were here to play.
She immediately smiled and stood up: "Hello, this is the Qi Chi Inn. May I ask if you three are here to stay or just for fun?"
When Lin Nanzhi stood up, the three people looked at her in shock. They didn't expect that the hotel staff would be so good-looking.
"Are you alone here?"
Lin Nanzhi nodded.
"I'm the only guest in the inn right now. They're all in the back. If you need anything, just tell me."
"What do you mean by accommodation here?"
"We have single rooms, double rooms and suites here. The price for a single room is 199 yuan, which only includes breakfast, and the price for a double room is 299 yuan, which also only includes breakfast.
The suite is more expensive, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The price is 799, and it only includes breakfast, but ingredients can be provided. ”
This price is a bit expensive for Wumeng nowadays. The couple looked at each other and hesitated. After all, a better hotel would cost this price. However, it is a tourist area after all, so it is normal to be a little more expensive.
But they were here to have fun, not to stay in the hotel, so they didn't say anything.
