Chapter 930: The selfish and vain female supporting role (26)
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing off the tourist group that picked cherries, ate farm food, and went to play in the gurgling shallow stream beside the peach trees to catch fish and have water fights, Xu Yin returned home and settled the day's earnings with her parents.
Seeing the numbers that their daughter pressed out with a calculator, Xu’s father and Xu’s mother’s eyes widened—
5120! !
“Is this our family’s profit today?”
The couple's eyes almost popped out.
so much? ? ?
“Have the kitchen expenses and food shopping expenses been deducted?”
"It's been deducted." Xu Yin said with a smile, "Actually, it's okay, the cost of cherries has not been reduced yet. Our family sold a total of 120 kilograms of cherries today, and the profit of 1,800 yuan was also included, and they were also eaten by tourists. It’s almost seventy or eighty pounds.”
That’s also very profitable!
This is just one day!
Excluding the free food for tourists, it is said that you can earn at least two to three thousand a day. Who would believe it!
“If there were tour groups coming every day…”
"How can such a good thing happen?" Xu's father interrupted Xu's mother's whims, "Didn't you hear what my daughter said? Those who like to climb mountains and pick cherries are the younger generation with children at home. They are busy working to make money during the weekdays. How can Do you have time? It depends on the situation on weekends. But even if you take a tour group once a week, it’s not bad.”
That’s what Xu Yin thinks.
She can’t bear the tourists coming every day, and neither can her parents.
After all, we have to receive them, pay attention to their safety, and cook for them.
Once a week is fine, my parents would be happy to earn extra money.
That night, Gu Chenyu finished the one-day trip and called Xu Yin when he got home: "The natural scenery in your village is quite good, but I'm a bit pressed for time today, so I couldn't have a good chat with you. Is it true that there is fruit picking all year round?”
Xu Yin was amused: "What? Sister Gu wants to launch a four-season picking tourism project?"
"I have this idea." Gu Chenyu laughed, "To tell you the truth, the overall economy of the tourism industry is not very prosperous now, regardless of short and long distances. Today's picking project is the most satisfying one for tourists this year. I was thinking about this on the way back, and I hope we can achieve a win-win situation."
“Sister Gu, do you have any good suggestions?”
"In this way, you first send me the types of orchards in your village. Of course, the villagers have to sign up voluntarily. Don't let me pick up tourists and you won't be willing to accept them. After that, I will plan the picking projects according to the seasons. Then solicit tourists and you can receive them. However, in the long run, it is best to decorate your village and make the environment as comfortable as possible. For example, put up a tourist route sign at the entrance of the village, and can the road up and down the mountain be made smoother and have handrails on both sides? Railings and so on. Each picking garden should be kept clean and the rest area should be more elegant... Of course, these are just my suggestions. If you want to receive tourists for a long time, it is best to cater to the psychology of tourists. They are here to enjoy Nature, not those who come to nature to suffer.”
Xu Yin herself has no objection, but this is related to the environmental improvement of the entire village, and she has to talk to the village chief.
"The village chief is the one where you tasted the big cherries for me? I wonder if his cherry orchard is willing to receive tourists. A retired old teacher asked me that the retired employees of their school wanted to hold an event, but most people like Big cherries. You only have small cherries, so I don’t have the nerve to ask.”
Xu Yin said cheerfully: "What's the matter? It's normal for everyone to have different tastes. Some people like small cherries, and naturally there are people who like big cherries. It's late today. I'll ask the village chief tomorrow and then I'll get back to you."
Gu Chenyu is very grateful. If this agreement is concluded, she will be able to organize a one-day trip right away.
Retired employees are not happy to work on weekends because they think there are too many people on weekends, so they prefer working days.
In this way, you can plan one-day trips on weekdays and weekends.
Xu Yin didn't let Gu Chenyu wait too long. The next morning, she went to the village chief's house before going up the mountain.
“Dad, this is a good thing!”
"That's right, Dad, what else are you thinking about." "Dad, didn't you say that? Yin Yin's head is full of energy, so you are right to listen to her."
"I went to see Yinyin's cherry orchard yesterday. As long as I told them about it in advance, these tourists were quite well-educated. They were not as scary as the people in Wangjing Village said."
“Dad, how about we learn from Yin Yin and try it once. If it doesn’t work, we will never receive tourists again.”
“Yes, yes, you won’t suffer if you try it once, you won’t be fooled if you try it once!”
…”
The village chief didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree.”
“That means you agreed?”
…"Go, go, go! Go and do your work, I told Yin Yin myself."
“Dad, let’s go to work, you must agree!”
…”
After his son and daughter-in-law went to the cherry orchard, the village chief took Xu Yin and had a good chat, including the environmental improvement proposed by Gu Chenyu.
"Grandpa, village chief, I think Sister Gu is right. Tourists come to the mountains to pick, not to experience labor, but to relax, cultivate parent-child relationships, and embrace nature. We keep the environment clean and beautiful. , will leave a good impression on them. Whenever we encounter similar activities in the future, our village will definitely be the first choice.”
“That’s what I say, but comprehensive renovation will cost a lot of money.”
To put it bluntly, the village is poor.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, the families who sign up to pick up a group will pay 200 yuan in environmental maintenance fees to the village for each group pick-up, and the funds will be earmarked for their own use."
As she said that, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to transfer money to the village committee: "Let me make the start."
The village chief couldn't help but ask: "Is it really that profitable to take tour groups?"
Xu Yin smiled deeply: "To tell you the truth, my family's net income yesterday was worth the purchase price of 500 kilograms of small cherries."
!!”
The village chief was moved.
“I’m going to hold a village meeting tonight.”
At eleven o'clock at noon, just as every household was raising smoke and preparing to cook, the village committee's loudspeaker rang:
"Hey! Hello! Did you hear me? At seven o'clock tonight, each family will send a representative to the grain drying field for a meeting! I will announce it again. At seven o'clock tonight, each family..."
The villagers were puzzled: "How can we be called to a meeting if we are not old enough?"
“I don’t know. We’ll find out if we send a representative to listen.”
Although it is the busy season, fruit picking is basically done during the day. Except for a few households who are still busy in the orchards at seven o'clock in the evening, most people are resting at home. Although you only need to go to a representative, but since you are idle, you are idle anyway. It is okay to go and listen to it, just treat it as after-dinner digestion.
At this time in previous years, Xu's father and Xu's mother would pick cherries day and night in the cherry orchard. Thanks to their daughter, they don't have to be so tired this year, and most of the ripe cherries have been sold. In addition, they picked up a tour group yesterday and earned several thousand dollars a day, which gave them a lot of peace of mind.
So after hearing the notice from the village committee, I had an early dinner and walked slowly to the grain drying field.
