In just one day.
Through word of mouth among the locals who came to visit, the news spread as fast as it could.
In the blink of an eye, Sishan Village was like a raging fire, quickly sweeping across the entire capital city.
For a time, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with heated discussions about Sishan Village.
The locals flocked to "the six imperial concubines' four unique stalls", "the idyllic Four Mountain Villages", "the dreamlike and romantic plum blossom forest", "the charming and comical barbecue guy", "the most delicious grilled fish in Chu Yun Kingdom", and "the exquisite desserts that can make you happy all day long".
A lively discussion ensued on topics such as "Four Mountain Villages are Fun".
There were many different opinions, and the discussion was quite lively.
Yun Zhizhi quickly packed up her stall and returned to her rented thatched hut. Without stopping, she summarized the revenue of all four stalls for the day.
After summarizing the results, she quickly gathered He Yang and the others, beaming as she said, "Everyone performed exceptionally well today and deserves praise. Especially..."
Yun Zhizhi had only spoken half a sentence when He Yang started to feel smug and pleased with himself. He thought his boss was going to praise him, so he proudly puffed out his chest.
Little did I know that this act of holding on would go too far.
“Especially Master Xuanzhen! The revenue from the tea-making stall he manages is the highest among the four of us.”
As soon as Yun Zhizhi finished speaking, He Yang blurted out without thinking, "Impossible! Boss, did you miscalculate?"
Doctor Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's right! He seemed quite relaxed today, even coming over to my stall to slack off and eat kiln-roasted chicken. How could he possibly have the highest revenue?"
Yun Zhizhi smiled and said, "I didn't miscalculate."
Then, she turned to Master Xuanzhen and said, "Old man Xuanzhen, why don't you explain this?"
Actually, she was quite curious too.
Master Xuanzhen cleared his throat and smiled smugly: "Listen up, you three!"
He first looked at He Yang: "Although your barbecue stall has attracted many tourists because of your seductive dance moves when you sprinkle barbecue seasoning, most of them are just there to watch and join in the fun."
"There seem to be a lot of people, but in reality, each person doesn't buy many skewers."
Then, he glanced at Doctor Zhou and said, "And you too!"
Doctor Zhou straightened his back and retorted, "What's wrong with me? Today, I've been working very hard to promote my products."
"You're working really hard, but you're putting your efforts in the wrong place. Do you even know what kind of business you're in charge of?"
The renowned doctor Zhou stared at him as if he were an idiot. "Are you blind? This is clearly a kiln-roasted chicken stall!"
Master Xuanzhen scoffed, "You even know this is a kiln-roasted chicken stall? Then why are you so enthusiastically promoting your roasted sweet potatoes?"
The renowned doctor Zhou was speechless.
How did this old guy know?
He stubbornly insisted, "Those tourists can't eat too many portions of roast chicken, so I have to promote smaller roasted sweet potatoes."
Master Xuanzhen sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Why are you so clueless? If we can't finish the roast chicken, we can have them buy some to take home and share with their families."
Doctor Zhou muttered under his breath, "Roast chicken has to be eaten while it's hot. If you buy it and it gets cold, the taste will definitely be greatly reduced."
Master Xuanzhen was utterly speechless.
Why is this person so stubborn!
He Yang asked with a curious look, "Old man Xuanzhen, tell me quickly, how did you manage to have the highest revenue at your tea stall?"
Master Xuanzhen glanced at him and grinned: "Do you want to learn?"
He Yang nodded vigorously.
Master Xuanzhen calmly replied, "It's very simple. First, offer tourists a 20% discount and inform them that this benefit is only available for the first eight days."
Who doesn't love to get a little something for free?
"Secondly, we offer free chat and fortune-telling services."
Once the tourists are entertained, a substantial reward will naturally be earned.
After hearing this, He Yang was completely convinced.
It has to be said, this old monk is quick-witted.
The next few days passed quickly.
Tourists flock to Sishan Village every day like a tide, and their numbers are increasing day by day.
The daily passenger flow was so high that it exceeded 10,000 people.
During this time, not only were the enthusiastic tourists enjoying their time to the fullest, but even the villagers of Sishan Village were all beaming with joy, their mouths practically never closing.
They truly felt as if they were in a beautiful dream these past few days.
As the key figure in this dramatic change, Yun Zhizhi is now regarded by the villagers as a "God of Wealth" who can bring in a lot of money.
Whether openly or secretly, praise for her was endless; they were almost ready to hide her in a shrine and enshrine her.
After the Emperor heard that Sishan Village had become famous and that the news was spreading rapidly to other prefectures, he was deeply impressed.
Therefore, he immediately issued an imperial decree, ordering the government to take swift action and dispatch numerous officials to set up a tight defense around Sishan Village to ensure the safety of the local villagers and tourists.
With the protection of the government, the popularity of Sishan Village soared.
Many merchants and powerful families began to sense the business opportunity.
The number of people wanting to set up stalls or buy land here is increasing day by day.
Unfortunately, since the government intervened in the matter, it has also strengthened its management of this treasure trove of land, Sishan Village.
Merchants who want to set up stalls in Sishan Village must now obtain the unanimous approval of all the villagers before they can do so.
Furthermore, the items they sell must not overlap with those already sold at stalls in the village.
As for those who want to buy land in Sishan Village to realize their dream of getting rich, that's even more difficult.
The reason is simple: all the available land had already been snapped up by Zhao Yunjin and his associates, along with Xu Junshen, who had an exceptional business acumen.
