Yuan Tingchuan had seen many gardens. He had a big garden at home and often held cocktail parties there. He knew a lot of exotic flowers and plants, but he didn't recognize ordinary vegetables like this one.
Yuan Tingchuan squatted down and carefully observed the small vegetable garden. Suddenly, he shouted like a child: "Hey, I know this. It's a cucumber. It's so long. Oh, right, I've seen pictures of it."
Du Ruo was not as "uninformed" as him. She used to go to farmhouses all the time. At first, she was curious about everything, but later she just wanted to see the fresh fruits and vegetables. She also liked the tranquility of the village, and when she was unhappy, she was willing to stay there for a while.
Du Ruo saw that Wang Saozi had killed a chicken and was about to pluck its feathers. She said, "Wang Saozi, you don't have to cook anything else. Just pick some fresh vegetables and cook them for us. It's best to keep the original flavor so that we can eat them fresh."
Mrs. Wang didn't understand what was going on, but Old Lady Wang understood. She knew that people gave so much money not for the luxury of eating meat and fish, but for the fresh vegetables from his small garden.
This is easy. Not to mention that they gave 50 yuan, even 5 yuan can buy a bag. How much can they eat?
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my daughter. We can't make any famous dishes you want. But if you want some farm dishes, we are good at them. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Seeing that the old lady understood what she meant, Du Ruo stopped talking. Turning around, she saw the boss staring at the cucumber from left to right, so she picked two tender ones, went into the house to wash them, brought them back and handed one to Yuan Tingchuan.
Yuan Tingchuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the whole cucumber in his hand. Doesn't it need to be cut? How can I eat this?
When he looked up, he saw Du Ruo had already taken a bite with a "crunch". Yuan Tingchuan became interested and took the cucumber and took a bite as well.
After taking a bite, he couldn't help but pause. It was really delicious and especially fragrant. Why hadn't he discovered that cucumbers were so delicious before?
Yuan Tingchuan surveyed the small garden thoughtfully, then the farmyard, which held a certain allure. He pondered and said, "We could create a tourism-themed project, where we'd visit the farmyard. Of course, it would have to be built on a certain scale, not so scattered. Well, we could build it into a mountain villa, which would make it easier to manage."
Du Ruo looked at the big man in front of her, who was crunching cucumbers and talking about his new project. She couldn't help but accept it. She just invited the big man to have a farm meal, and he came up with the idea of farm fun.
Yuan Tingchuan heard Du Ruo muttering, and his eyes lit up: "Not bad, it should be called Farmhouse Inn. It's simple, straightforward and down-to-earth. People will know what we are going to do right away. Not bad, not bad, this project should be called Farmhouse Inn."
Du Ruo twitched her lips. She really didn't mean it.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tingchuan said, "I plan to make this a personal investment project. Do you want to invest in it?"
Du Ruo's eyes lit up. This was such a good thing? This was simply like following the boss to pick up money.
She said, "Okay, how do you plan to cooperate?"
Yuan Tingchuan said thoughtfully, "I still need to think about the specific matters, and we'll talk about it when the time comes."
This is in line with Yuan Tingchuan's personality. He has always been a meticulous person and will not talk nonsense about things that are not certain.
Plucking chicken feathers requires hot water. As soon as the hot water was poured on the rooster, a smell came out. Yuan Tingchuan frowned. The old lady was very perceptive. She said, "You two should go to the east end of the village. There is a land temple and a stream there. It's quite interesting. You should go for a walk."
Yuan Tingchuan nodded and motioned Du Ruo to go and take a look. Since he had the idea of running a farm stay, he wanted to take a good look around the countryside and get to know the situation.
The two walked towards the east end of the village and saw several households with fruit tree seedlings planted in their yards. Du Ruo said, "We can also plant some fruit tree seedlings and sell the fruit to tourists, which can also be a source of income."
Yuan Tingchuan nodded and smiled, "That's true." He saw someone raising cattle up ahead and thought, "We could also raise a few dairy cows and provide fresh milk for tourists. Keeping the cows on the lawn would add a bit of fun."
Yuan Tingchuan paused and said, "Isn't it a bit of a downer for me to talk about work at this time?"
Du Ruo stopped and said, "Why are you so sad? Do I need to build you an embroidery building?"
Hearing her say this, Yuan Tingchuan smiled. He looked at Du Ruo and felt a little emotional. His thoughts just now were probably what people say about the gains and losses in love, the worries and fears caused by love.
The two of them walked all the way to the east end of the village, and sure enough, there was a small land temple. The temple was not big, and one could see the end at a glance. To enter, one had to bend down slightly. Inside was a small altar with a small incense burner on the table, and on the altar there was a statue of a god with the paint peeling off.
Only two people could stand side by side in front of the altar. Yuan Tingchuan bowed and slowly walked to the back of the statue. He looked behind it and found that the statue's abdomen had been smashed open and everything inside had been emptied.
Du Ruo also saw it. She nodded and said, "It seems that this statue is quite old. Everything inside has been robbed."
She looked at the incense burner on the altar again. Yuan Tingchuan leaned over and took a look: "It's not a rare item, just an ordinary incense burner."
Du Ruo nodded, Yuan Tingchuan's vision was still trustworthy.
The two people left the land temple and walked slowly along the lawn to the stream next to it. The stream water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and the fish in the water were swimming leisurely in it.
There was a child upstream holding a small net bag, probably fishing. The two of them walked over and saw that there were already several crucian carp in the worn little bucket.
Du Ruo said, "This farmer's fried crucian carp is also very delicious. How about buying two to try?"
Yuan Tingchuan was also quite interested. Du Ruo called the boy who was fishing over and handed him five yuan: "I'll buy these fish, is that okay?"
The child was happy: "Sure, do you want more? I'll catch you a few more."
Du Ruo shook his head and said, "No, these few are enough."
The child was a little disappointed. He said, "Where do you live? I'll bring the fish to you. How else are you going to pack it?"
Du Ruo thought so too. She and Yuan Tingchuan led the way all the way to Aunt Wang's house. The child smiled and said, "This is my second aunt's house. You live here? Are you a relative of ours?"
Du Ruo shook his head: "No, I just stopped by to have a meal."
She said to Wang Saozi who came over to meet her, "I bought a few crucian carps. Could you please fry two for us? The rest are for you."
Mrs. Wang happily agreed, took the fish to the kitchen to clean it, and quietly called the boy to have dinner here in the evening.
