Chapter 267 Let’s take you to see the great rivers and mountains in China (40
00)Good night!
"Yeah!" Cheng Xiaolin nodded.
She said: "Shujie, you go to my parents' house again and tell them how to use the things in the house. They have never been out and don't know much about this."
"Ouch, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me!" Cao Shujie slapped himself with his backhand.
After he finished telling his parents, his father Cao Jianguo still shouted: "It's good to be outside. It's true that you should go out and walk more often."
"Dad, that's for sure. The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!" Cao Shujie said.
"I've read too many books and memorized them by rote at most. But there are some things that I haven't seen before. Just imagining them is useless. But if we go out and take a look, we will immediately understand what we didn't understand before."
Wang Yuelan also feels that her horizons have broadened a lot in these two days.
I seem to understand a lot of things, but I can't express them.
"Shujie, where are we going tomorrow?" Wang Yuelan asked her son.
Cao Shujie said: "Mom, let's go to the fountain early tomorrow morning. After we see it, we will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to see the gardens and the West Lake. There are many other places!"
Speaking of this, Cao Shujie remembered something.
He took out a one-dollar note from his wallet, pointed to the picture on the back and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, do you know what this is called?"
"One dollar?" Cao Jianguo looked at his son like an idiot, wondering if there was something wrong with his son's brain. Is there any need to ask?
Cao Shujie was speechless. He stopped asking and said directly: "The picture on the back of one dollar is called Three Pools Reflecting the Moon. It is in the West Lake. We can see it this time when we go there!"
"Ouch!" Only then did Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan react. Wang Yuelan quickly confirmed: "Really?"
"That can still be false!"
Cao Shujie nodded heavily: "Mom, when we get there, I will take you to see this place first, and then Leifeng Pagoda, the residence where noble officials lived in ancient times. When I have time later, I will take you to see other places.
, let’s not go too far, at least go around the country first.”
When Wang Yuelan heard what her son said, she wanted to go and read it now, but she suddenly remembered something: "Shujie, don't just bring us out, there are Linlin's parents too!"
"Hey, don't worry, I understand everything!" Cao Shujie smiled and nodded.
He said: "I will change to a minibus later, but my driver's license is not good enough and I have to take the test again!"
When Cao Jianguo heard what his son said, he said with a serious expression: "Shujie, you can't just rely on making some money to expand your business. Every thought comes out."
"You are very lucky now and have made money, so you still have to save when you should."
"What if there is a natural disaster in two years' time, and the sky will not respond to it, and the earth will not work?"
"Besides, you still owe a loan of three million to the bank. Buy this today and that tomorrow. No matter how much money you have, you can't stop doing this!"
When Cao Shujie heard what his father said, he touched his nose and was speechless.
Some things just can't be said.
But he knew that from his father's perspective, what his father Cao Jianguo said was absolutely correct.
Thinking of this, Cao Shujie said: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not mess around!"
"Well, it's been a year now. I promise you, regardless of whether you still pay it back, I will deposit one million on the card used for repayment every year. In April and July of 2014, I will put the two
Can you repay all the loans?" Cao Shujie said.
Wang Yuelan nodded: "I think it's okay, or just do it like this!"
"Okay!" Cao Jianguo nodded, he also thought it was okay!
…
That night, Cao Shujie took his rested grandfather, parents, wife and children to the nearby night market and snack street, where they played until very late, and then returned to the Four Seasons Hotel in Quancheng to rest together.
Early the next morning, Cao Shujie drove his family to a nearby fast food chain for breakfast.
After finishing the meal, Cao Shujie drove to the fountain and asked his wife to take Mengmeng, Grandpa, and parents to find a place to rest together, while he went to queue up and buy the tickets.
During this free time, many tour guides from nearby came over to ask Cheng Xiaolin if they needed a tour guide to take them around the entire scenic spot and explain the historical stories of the natural springs in each place.
These idle tour guides even told Cheng Xiaolin that buying tickets through them to enter the scenic spot would be much cheaper than buying tickets directly at the ticket office.
And they have repeatedly guaranteed that the tickets are all genuine and there is no charge if you can’t get in!
Cheng Xiaolin didn't quite understand this. Based on the principle that nothing would happen, she waved her hand: "No, thank you!"
When Cao Shujie came over after buying the ticket, he happened to see his wife rejecting another middle-aged woman who looked about fifty. He was curious and asked: "What's wrong?"
"They should be residents nearby. They are here to serve as tour guides. They want to explain some historical stories in the scenic area to us. I don't think they are needed. We can just go in and take a look ourselves." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Yeah, not bad." Cao Shujie nodded, supported his grandfather, and took his parents, wife and children to check the tickets at the door before going in.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was very curious about this place, but unfortunately, because the water level was too low, the fountain did not spray.
But that's it, there were still many people watching inside. Cao Shujie also saw the big stone tablet with the words "Baotu Spring" written on it, and soaked in the pool.
He also saw a tortoise in the wishing pool next to him, which was filled with 5 cents or 1 yuan coins.
Under the light of the water waves, the money looks particularly pleasing.
Even so, there were still people who continued to throw money into the pool. Cao Shujie was wondering if there was so much money in the pool, would someone catch it with a net in the dead of night?
Even if it is a coin, you can exchange it outside and spend the same money!
Grandpa and parents didn't see the fountain, and they were a little disappointed.
But when I think about seeing the picture on the back of the one-yuan note this afternoon or tomorrow morning, I feel hopeful again.
After walking around inside, Cao Shujie went to get the car. Before setting off, Cao Shujie asked if he wanted to eat something?
At this time, even Mengmeng didn't want to eat, and even shouted to hurry up and go to the next place to eat delicious food.
Mengmeng said this, and the whole family did not object and all accepted her opinions.
It is a full 800 kilometers from Quancheng to the West Lake Scenic Area. Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin took turns driving on the way. They entered the service area three times to solve personal problems, and once they even had something to eat in the service area.
Pad your belly.
We set off at around 10 a.m. and when we arrived near the West Lake Scenic Area, it was completely dark.
At this time, even though Cao Zhenghu folded down his seat in the car and slept for a few hours, he still had an obvious look of exhaustion on his face.
Father Cao Jianguo and mother Wang Yuelan were not much better. They were also very tired.
On the contrary, after Mengmeng woke up after sleeping, she looked more energetic.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't know what to say when she saw her daughter so lively.
I can only say that children still have good energy.
"Shujie, let's find a place to stay first." Cheng Xiaolin suggested.
Cao Shujie knew that there was a West Lake State Guesthouse. Apart from the expensive accommodation, everything else was fine. It was said that you could see the West Lake when you opened the window, especially when the sun was setting in the west, the orange-red sunlight shone on the lake, and you could see it at a glance.
so gorgeous.
After discussing it with his wife, Cheng Xiaolin agreed without saying a word.
After searching this place on the navigation system, Cao Shujie drove directly there.
After arriving here, Cao Shujie was very happy. Fortunately, it was not the peak tourist season, nor was it a Saturday or weekend. There were still rooms in the hotel, otherwise finding a place to stay would have been a hassle.
It was already past 9pm.
Except for Mengmeng, the energy of several adults is not very good.
Even if Cao Shujie suggested eating special dishes, the others couldn't cheer up.
That night, Cao Shujie and the others ate something to cushion their stomachs in the hotel, went back to their rooms, and fell asleep not long after.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were driving in different directions. After stopping, they felt particularly tired.
I don't want to move at all.
…
Early on the second day, Cao Shujie felt someone pressing on him, grabbing his nose and stuffing something into his nostrils.
"Ah sneeze!"
Cao Shujie couldn't help it, his nostrils were itching so much that he sneezed.
Before he opened his eyes, he heard Mengmeng's penetrating laughter.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that Mengmeng was about to climb down from him and slip away.
Watching her father open her eyes, Mengmeng seemed to feel that she was being caught. She became even more panicked, lost her grip on her hands, and fell towards the bed next to her.
Fortunately, Cao Shujie reacted quickly enough and reached out to support her body.
"Mengmeng, what are you doing? What if I fall to you?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Mengmeng was also frightened. She looked at her father and then her mother. She still had a panicked expression on her little face.
This made Cheng Xiaolin very distressed when she saw it, but Cheng Xiaolin still felt very angry about her daughter's behavior just now, and thought that he should explain it to his daughter and let her know the seriousness of the matter.
After all, Cheng Xiaolin is still thinking about sending her daughter to kindergarten in the fall, or next spring.
"Shujie, it's already dawn. Get up quickly and have some food. Let's go west for a walk." Cheng Xiaolin said this.
Cao Shujie really didn't want to think about it. He felt like his whole body was falling apart, and none of his muscles seemed to belong to him.
"It's really terrible. I drive more than 800 kilometers a day. I can't do this next time." Cao Shujie yelled, but when Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but give him a look and said, "It seems like that's all.
It’s like you’re driving the whole way!”
"Okay, wife, you've worked hard too. Let's get up quickly and go have some food. We'll take a nice walk around the West Lake later and think about where to go in the afternoon." Cao Shujie said.
"Let's go rowing. I think rowing is quite interesting." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie doesn't care, as long as they like it, he is afraid that they won't be able to find the project they want to play.
…
When Cao Shujie and the others came to the West Lake and were about to start playing, there was also construction going on in an open space at the foot of the mountain to the north of Caojiazhuang.
Mechanical engineering vehicles used for road compaction are traveling back and forth on the ground here, compacting the ground. Some people are adding soil here, and some are laying stone slabs on the ground. These are Wang Leigang, the owner of the Fuxing Hotel in the town.
Made with money.
Although it may seem like a great success, it actually didn’t cost much.
The most important thing for this farm restaurant is to be done first, and it has only been two days.
For Wang Leigang, he definitely hopes that the sooner the better. Even if the kitchen has been built now, Wang Leigang is still thinking about whether to redo the yard?
However, it was too late in time. Wang Leigang thought that he could make do with it first, and then he could do it better when he was less busy.
The most important thing right now is to build the infrastructure first so that when people come over, there will be a place to entertain them.
"Boss Wang, how much did this cost?" Cao Jianlong, deputy secretary of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee, was curious.
The Caojiazhuang Village Committee invested in land, accounting for 20% of the shares.
Cao Jianlong now wants to see how lively it will be and how many people will come here to eat.
In a sense, this farmhouse restaurant is the first serious restaurant in Caojiazhuang.
In addition, Cao Jianlong took advantage of the fact that he was not busy now and called all the laborers or young people in the village who had nothing to do at home to get busy to deal with the likely increase in the flow of people during the May Day holiday.
When Wang Leigang heard Cao Jianlong ask him how much he spent here, he just smiled and said nothing.
When Cao Jianlong saw that Wang Leigang didn't say anything, he didn't force it either.
Anyway, Caojiazhuang won’t pay a penny.
When I saw this place, it was still a wasteland two days ago, but today it has changed. It is surrounded by fences, and the kitchen is made of colored steel plates and steel structures. It is better to cook temporarily than to build a shed on the ground and then build a
A few pots are much better.
When he saw Cao Zhenggang leading people to work, Wang Leigang actually felt a little unsure. He always felt that there might not be as many people coming here on May Day as there were during the Qingming Festival holiday.
In this case, the money he invested may be wasted in the end.
But Wang Leigang was unwilling to give it a try.
Thinking of Cao Shujie's cute orchard during the Qingming Festival holiday in early April, people lined up dozens of meters away.
"Secretary Cao, when will Boss Cao come back? I still have something I want to talk to him about in person." Wang Leigang said.
But Cao Jianlong didn't know when Cao Shujie and the others would come back, so he said, "Boss Wang, it's something important. If it's convenient, you can tell me, or call Boss Cao and ask him."
Wang Leigang thought it right. He thought about calling Cao Shujie after he finished his work later.
And the purpose of his call was simply to make publicity.
There is a proverb that goes well, the fragrance of wine is afraid of the deep alley, no matter how good the thing is, it must be publicized first.
Now many people on the Internet know the account Mengmeng Orchard.
They also learned about the place ‘Mengmeng Orchard’ through Mengmeng Orchard’s videos on Youku. Many parents with children actually want to visit here during the holidays.
Wang Leigang thought about asking Boss Cao to send a message to their farm restaurant on the Internet!
This is a mutually beneficial matter for both parties.
