After confirming the personnel and time, the director of the film crew called Ji Chuan, the contact person in Qingshui Village, to explain the situation.
Ji Chuan, who was taking a break from writing his novel, received the call, exchanged a few polite words with him, and then hung up to go find Lin Anshu.
"You mean, those people who called you before saying they wanted to come to Qingshui Village to film a drama are planning to come over in the next few days?"
"Yes, that's how it is." Ji Chuan nodded.
"Have you talked to the village chief and Party Secretary Zhang about this? What did they say?" Lin Anshu asked.
"I've already said it, and they have no objections."
"Well, those people booked Ninth Master's meals in advance, so we'll have to ask you and Ninth Master about their arrival time," Ji Chuan said.
"Let me ask Ninth Master first."
"uh-huh."
Five minutes later, Lin Anshu spoke up: "We can receive them the day after tomorrow."
"Three to five days, right?"
"Yes, that's what they say. We can stay for a maximum of five days."
“Okay, I’ll talk to Sister Zhao later and ask her not to bring any tour groups over for the next five days,” Lin Anshu said.
Sister Zhao was introduced to Lin Anshu by Party Secretary Xiao Zhang.
She works for a travel agency and regularly takes on day trips and two-day trips to nearby areas.
They also have certain restrictions and requirements when choosing which clients to receive.
Once someone lacks manners and is blacklisted, their tour group will never accommodate them again.
The first group of tourists that Sister Zhao brought were students from a primary school.
Three carloads of people arrived, along with four teachers leading the group.
Before they arrived, Sister Zhao had told the teacher in charge to explain the rules of Qingshui Village to the children.
Teachers should praise those who follow the rules and take the environment seriously.
Those who cause trouble will have points deducted and be publicly criticized.
With the restrictions in place, those children became remarkably well-behaved.
Whether you go to a cherry orchard, or to see flowers, fruits, or vegetables, you won't do anything reckless.
The second group received a group of retired teachers, officials, and others.
Aside from their love of taking photos, shopping, and bargaining, these people don't have any other major flaws.
After the first and second waves of successful receptions, the subsequent receptions gradually got on track.
Nowadays, in addition to fishing enthusiasts who come every now and then, Sister Zhao also brings groups from time to time.
Besides their daily chores, some villagers set up stalls to sell fruit salad, others sell ice jelly, some sell free-range eggs, some sell fruit, and others sell snacks...
"Okay, then I'll give them a message."
? ? ? ? ? ?
The day the watermelons at Lin Anshu's house ripened, the film crew finally arrived at Qingshui Village.
This wasn't Director Zhang Ping's first visit, but he was still delighted to see the changes in the village.
Besides him, all the staff members who had visited Qingshui Village before also came along.
As for the director, Qin Yan, Zhao Qingli, and the other actors, this was their first time here.
In their minds, rural areas are poor, sparsely populated, and backward.
But when they arrived, they discovered that wasn't the case.
At the very least, the Qingshui Village in front of me is not the stereotypical image I have in my memory.
Qingshui Village boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, with stunning scenery that surpasses some of the tourist attractions they had visited before.
Most importantly, this place is completely natural, without a single trace of human intervention.
Indeed, nature is the most powerful sculptor.
Because the village chief and Party Secretary Zhang had already given instructions to everyone, even though it was the first time they had seen the director and stars in person and they were very excited, they did not do anything too outrageous.
Led by assistant director Zhang, the group arrived at Lin Anshu's house, ready to try the delicious lunch that Zhang and his colleagues had described.
After all, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Lin Anshu's house is quite large, but after hosting so many people at once, it suddenly felt a little crowded.
At this point, Mr. and Mrs. Lin realized that Lin Anshu's suggestion to expand their home was excellent.
The meal was still being prepared, so Lin Anshu first poured water for everyone and gave them some snacks and fruit to tide them over.
The watermelons she had just picked from the field were still on the cart, not yet unloaded.
Just as they were about to start moving it, they saw the cameramen from the film crew who had been there before come over to help.
Lin Anshu did not refuse their kindness.
After unloading all the watermelons, she took out a small cutting board, placed it on the table, and cut a watermelon on the spot.
That watermelon looked pretty big, probably around ten pounds.
The watermelon rind was bright green and colorful, and it still had a dried watermelon vine attached to one end, making it look very fresh.
Because it was quite hot, everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Anshu as soon as she brought out the watermelon and started cutting it.
The moment the knife touched the melon, Lin Anshu barely had to use any force before she sliced it open.
The moment the watermelon was cut open, a sweet watermelon aroma wafted out along with the crisp sound of the slice.
"Oh, is this watermelon here to repay a debt of gratitude?"
"This melon rind is so thin!"
"Honestly, I've never bought such a good watermelon in the market."
"I feel that if I put this watermelon in front of me, it would split open if I just flicked it with my finger."
"..."
"That's definitely good, since these watermelons were grown by Boss Lin himself," a cameraman said.
"Come on, everyone, have a taste of this year's first batch of watermelons." Lin Anshu cut the watermelon into pieces and then invited everyone to try them.
