Chapter 176

I saw red lanterns hanging in every household in the village, thick snow, and red lanterns hanging high, giving a unique view.

"It's so beautiful." This is Li Yuanlong's second time from feeling.

"Secretary, we have a custom here. After the first heavy snow in winter, every family must hang lanterns, which lasts until after the Lantern Festival in the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Yang Sheng introduced that due to the special geographical location of Hailang Village, the snow falls densely and particularly heavy every year, and the snow here is sticky and does not spread and does not melt easily. The snow will not melt easily at the end of March and early April of the next year. Therefore, the days when Hailang Village has snow are very long, and it takes four to five months.

Li Yuanlang looked around and saw the sunset setting in the sky, the gorgeous red sky and snow-covered sky were mixed together, and it was decorated with red lanterns, which made it a beautiful scenery.

He took out his mobile phone to take several pictures of the sun set, showing it to Yang Sheng and Guo Dingshou, and said: "Look, if you know photography, it will definitely be a perfect natural landscape work."

The two of them agreed that they looked good, but in fact they couldn't feel anything in their hearts. They watched it every day, and it was no surprise that they had been used to it.

Several people were walking on the narrow path, and Li Yuanlang had a sudden idea. He knew that there was a place called Xuexiang, and the natural landscape was similar to that here. It was famous for a TV station program called "Where did Dad go?", and it became a folk tourist attraction.

However, the local government departments and the people are short-sighted and have repeatedly slaughtered customers by taking huge profits. Their reputation has suddenly become bad, and tourists don’t come to play, and their business is getting worse and worse.

The problem here is that government departments do not have enough supervision and only want to collect high taxes, but do not want to develop in the long run.

At the beginning, the local people were quite kind, and warmly welcomed many southern tourists who came here, and the prices were affordable.

However, many businesses later saw business opportunities coming, renting houses of local villagers at high prices and converting them into folk hotels. The peak tourist season is only three months a year, but the rent alone costs hundreds of thousands or even millions. Just think about it, the cost itself is high, and the wool comes from the sheep, sharpening the knife for nine months, and slaughtering the sheep for three months, and not trying hard to cut the flesh on tourists.

Now the competent authorities have found problems and made every effort to rectify them. In fact, they are from secretly slaughtering customers to explicitly slaughtering customers with real price. The willing people take the bait, but love comes or not.

"Can you also take a folk tourism path here?" Li Yuanlang thought about the feasibility, but did not reveal it.

The group went to the village committee first to sit down. Yang Sheng mainly reported the situation in the village. Li Yuanlang took out a small notebook and wrote it down one by one, and asked what the villagers of Hailang Village were doing during the slack farming period.

"Oh," Yang Sheng sighed, "What can I do? Go to work in a big city diligently. If you don't bother to have fun at home, drink and play mahjong and make a living."

This situation is not just Hailang Village, but most villages have this phenomenon. Farmers are busy all year round and have nothing to do in winter.

Even if you go out to work, you have no education or skills, and you can only do a hard work. When you meet a good boss, you can still settle your wages on time. If you are cheated and owed your wages, you may not be able to get a penny for several months. Therefore, farmers are the most tiring, the hardest and most difficult.

After chatting with Yang Sheng for a long time, Li Yuanlang felt that Yang Sheng was motivated, but his thinking was conservative. Faced with the current situation where most farmers in the village were idle at home, he had no choice but to do so and did not think about how to develop a new development model.

It seems that to change the current appearance of Hailang Village, a strong leadership team is needed. At this point, Li Yuanlang could feel when he was chatting with Guo Dingshou just now that Guo Dingshou was mature and persistent, and had more ideas than Yang Sheng, and he was mature and long-term.

After listening to Yang Sheng’s report, Li Yuanlang specifically talked to Guo Dingshou, mainly about the matter about Guo’s winery.

Compared with Zhang Guorui, Guo Dingshou's attitude towards Li Yuanlang is much more sincere. What he talked about was the estrangement left by the Guo Family Winehouse in Gutong Town.

After hearing Guo Dingshou's difficulties, Li Yuanlang said: "I have drunk the wine from Guo's wine shop. It tastes soft and mellow. It is a rare good wine. Now there is too much wine blending, which will hurt the liver and body after drinking it. Lao Guo, let's put aside the grievances between you two families first, let me talk about your old master. When he was fifteen years old, he went to the wine shop as a young apprentice and worked for five years for his boss. Later, relying on his intelligence and perseverance, he secretly learned the secret recipe for wine matching. Later, he tasted and improved it many times before mastering today's winemaking technology. I heard that he died young because he drank too much. From this point of view, did you hope that the secret recipes that your ancestors have worked hard to create have been lost?"

Obviously, Li Yuanlang's words caused a great stir in Guo Dingshou's heart. He kept smoking and said nothing, and he was definitely digesting Li Yuanlang's insights in his ears.

Li Yuanlang continued to enlighten, "The legacy of the Guo family is to pass on men but not women. Although the second-child policy is now relaxed, few people have given birth to second children here. If this continues, one day the Guo family will have no successors. In other words, there will always be a day when the brewing secret recipe will not be passed on. Lao Guo, I think the secret recipe should be contributed, and the government and your Guo family will participate in the construction of the winery together. Our township government can apply for loans for you or contact partners. We will make this craft bigger and stronger, so that more people will no longer eat blended white wine, and taste real grain brewing wine. Do more good deeds and use kindness. I think this is also the original intention of your old master of the Guo family to create this secret recipe."

Guo Dingshou lowered his head and smoked a lot. After smoking one after another, his brows frowned, but he still said nothing.

"Old Guo, you are a party member. When you took the oath under the party flag, you were extremely responsible. At present, Hailang Village is still very poor and the farmers' lives are still very difficult. I learned from Yang Sheng that everyone is idle at home, except for drinking and gambling. Over time, everyone's ambition has been wiped out. Guorui and I discussed with you and want you to be the secretary of the village party branch. You are an old party member and have had the experience of being a village cadre before. Yang Sheng is young after all, and needs old party members like you to take the helm and lead everyone on the road of common prosperity with the village party members and village committees." Li Yuanlang explained sincerely.

"Secretary Li, stop talking, I understand what you mean. But you have also seen that our village has nothing to develop except mountains and snow. I just want to take everyone together, but I am not willing to do it."

Li Yuanlong smiled and said, "Old Guo, you really beg for food with a treasure pot, you didn't see me..." Li Yuanlong answered the question while it was hot and talked to him about his sudden discovery, that is, can Hailang Village be built into a tourist folk attraction and change the current backward situation with his own advantages.

When talking about this, Guo Dingshou's eyes lit up. When he recalled Li Yuanlang's actions, he not only secretly gave him a thumbs up, but he really deserved to be the party secretary and township chief at a young age. He could discover business opportunities just by walking around. It's really not simple.

The two talked for a long time, and Li Yuanlang finally told Guo Dingshou to agree to serve as the branch secretary of Hailang Village, and would discuss with Guo’s family as soon as possible to inherit the brewing technology. As for contributing this recipe, Guo Dingshou could not make the decision alone, so he needed to discuss it with everyone.

The supper was eaten in Yang Sheng's "Yang Family Tavern". His tavern was built very distinctive, mainly wood, and was estimated to be about 100 square meters. This is a mountainous area, and the most lacking is wood, which is considered to be local materials.

As soon as I came in, the room was quite warm and burning very hot. There were six round tables in total, and there was no private room.

There were no guests in the room, Yang Shengli gave way to Li Yuanlang to sit at the innermost table, while Yang Sheng, Guo Dingshou led the village committee members to sit around Li Yuanlang.

The meal was very rich, and it was actually a local specialty. I made more than a dozen dishes from stewed with mushrooms, stewed with green onions, stewed with black fungus, stewed with matsutake ribs, stewed with potato vermicelli, stir-fried bracken, etc.

Li Yuanlang was also hungry, and he ate big and had a lot of fun.

During the meal, Yang Sheng and Guo Dingshou to toast him. Li Yuanlang knew that the alcohol content was not bad, and the wine tonight was also brewed with pure grain. Drinking it had little effect on the body, so he simply relaxed the amount and raised his glasses to drink with the people present.

When the drinks were almost the same, a few people came in from the tavern, seeing that their clothes were not local, they spoke with a mouthful of Beijing flavor.

After listening to their words, it turned out that these people were photography enthusiasts. They accidentally discovered the beautiful night view of Hailang Village by passing here, so they took many photos.

Seeing this, Li Yuanlang was curious and leaned over, tent a circle of cigarettes first, and started chatting with them.

Several people learned that Li Yuanlang was the party secretary of the township here and knew that he had authority to speak. One of the men surnamed Zhang said, "Secretary, you are all good here, there is the same thing, there is no hotel to live in. We have to drive to Yanyoushan Nursing Home after dinner, which is dozens of miles away. It's not safe to worry, but if there is a place to live, it would be great. It would be not too late to stay overnight and go tomorrow."

"This is easy. I'll ask the village director to find a way to arrange it for you later. It's really unsafe to go to the night." Li Yuanlang immediately called Yang Sheng and asked him to find a place for these people to live.

Yang Sheng agreed to the village committee that there would be a bed and a big kang, which would be enough for them to live in, so it would be no problem.

The man surnamed Zhang said again: "Secretary, I think if you want to develop the tourism industry, you still need to develop tourism projects. Look at Xuexiang, you can ski, horse-drawn sleds, snowmobile, watch the sunrise and sunset, climbing and watching the snow scenery, etc. Let's create a folk feature, such as a bonfire party and a big yangko, which can drive more people to come and play. Now there are fewer and fewer places with heavy snow. You must make good use of resources and strengthen this area, which will definitely drive the nearby economy to a higher level."

His companions also interjected: "You can send people to other places to learn experience and conduct field visits, which will help you avoid detours in the future."
