Chapter 871 Grandpa, always give me an idea (4000)
Unknowingly, when he walked to the south of the village, Cao Shujie saw many people from Zhujiazhuang setting up stalls on the dividing line between Caojiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang, selling toys, various kinds of fast food, and even
Many sell handmade ornaments.
When they saw Cao Shujie coming, they all had a little surprise and surprise in their eyes, and they were afraid that Cao Shujie would drive them away.
Fortunately, what they thought did not happen, and Cao Shujie was not so mean that they could not take advantage of him at all. He even said hello and chatted with these common people.
Seeing a pancake maker, Cao Shujie suddenly thought of Cao Jianhai. When he was at the children's theme park just now, he didn't have time to look at the stalls nearby. He didn't know about the food truck he spent money to buy and the money he spent to learn.
How is the fast food recipe doing now?
"Uncle, how much does it cost to make me pancakes?" Cao Shujie asked the other party.
He also took out his mobile phone and prepared to scan the other party's QR code to pay.
But at this moment, the other party quickly snatched away the payment QR code and put it in his big white coat pocket on his chest: "Director Cao, if you can eat a pancake from this old man, you are looking down on our old Li, and then let you pay
Money, even when I went back, my neighbors at the front and back pointed my fingers at me and scolded me.”
"Uncle, how can this be done?"
"Why not? Director Cao, do you want to eat chili?"
When Cao Shujie told him to put more chili peppers, the old man who called himself Lao Li moved quickly, and the pancakes and fruit were ready in about a minute.
He handed the pancake fruit to Cao Shujie and asked Cao Shujie to eat it while it was hot.
Cao Shujie didn't worry about the payment this time. He took the pancake and fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it.
It's a bit spicy, with the fresh aroma of chopped green onions, lettuce and thin crispy uncooked vegetables.
"It's delicious!" Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shujie's delicious words made the old man named Li burst into laughter: "Director Cao can eat it as long as he likes it. I will make another one for Director Cao."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken action, scooping up a spoonful of batter with one hand and pouring it on the iron pancake. Then he cracked an egg on it and turned it around with the bamboo tool. The egg was spread thinly and attached to the pancake.
Before Cao Shujie had time to stop him, the pancake fruit base had already been completed. He watched the old man skillfully sprinkle a layer of chives on it, put two fried dough sticks on it, cut a ham sausage, and put on a few slices of fried golden ones.
Thin and crispy, and finally brushed with a layer of sweet noodle sauce and a layer of chili oil, the aroma is fragrant.
Watching the other party wrap all these things in pancakes with eggs, then cut them in the middle with a spatula, put them in a paper bag, and handed them to Cao Shujie.
Reaching out to take it, Cao Shujie expressed his thanks again and again: "Uncle, what do you want me to say?"
"Hey, it's just two pancakes. Director Cao likes to eat them. It's my old man's honor."
"Director Cao, why don't I make a few more for you and take them back to eat." Old man Li was talking and was about to continue cooking.
Cao Shujie couldn't bear to look back, so he stopped his movements first, then expressed his gratitude to Old Man Li and left quickly.
When other fast food stalls saw Cao Shujie eating Old Man Li's pancakes and fruits, they also wanted to invite Cao Shujie over for a bowl of porridge, a tofu cake, and a bowl of mutton soup.
These people were so enthusiastic that Cao Shujie couldn't bear it, so he left here first and walked north.
When passing by his uncle's house, he happened to see the door open, and his grandfather Cao Zhenghu walked out of the door carrying a horse with a backrest.
Cao Shujie was stunned and quickly went over to help his grandfather.
"Grandpa, are you out to bask in the sun?" Cao Shujie asked him.
When Cao Zhenghu saw his grandson coming, his old face was full of smile: "Shujie, what are you doing?"
When he saw his grandson still holding a pancake fruit in his hand, Cao Zhenghu wondered: "Shujie, haven't you eaten yet?"
"No, I just finished my work and went to the south for a walk. I met an old man selling pancakes and fruits in Zhujiazhuang. I originally wanted to buy one, but I didn't know that they had to force it on us. We can't finish this one."
After Cao Shujie finished speaking briefly, he wanted to hand the pancake fruit to his grandfather, but then he remembered that there was chili pepper in it, which his grandfather's stomach couldn't digest.
"Grandpa, have you had lunch?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Seeing his grandfather nod, Cao Shujie breathed a sigh of relief.
"My uncle is not at home?" Cao Shujie asked.
Seeing his grandfather nodding again, he then heard his grandfather say: "Your uncle went to the children's park early in the morning to wander around."
"He originally wanted to ask me to come with him, but I was a little too tired to get up today." Cao Zhenghu said this.
When Cao Shujie heard his grandfather say he was tired, he became nervous and asked his grandfather if he felt uncomfortable. However, he heard his grandfather say: "Shujie, don't be nervous. Nothing is wrong with me."
After putting down the maza and turning around to sit down, Cao Zhenghu looked at the people coming and going on the north-south road in the village. He was happy from the bottom of his heart: "There are a lot of people here today."
This is again the credit of his grandson.
Cao Shujie thought for a moment and told his grandfather that more than 10,000 people had come today.
"I can't stop watching, right?" Cao Zhenghu was not sure either.
Cao Shujie thought about it again and told his grandfather: "There should be more than 20,000 people in the end. When I came out of the children's park at around 11 o'clock in the morning, there were already more than 10,000 people."
"It's great, it's so lively when so many people gather together." Cao Zhenghu said with emotion.
The grandfather and grandson were basking in the sun at the door and chatting, feeling indescribably at ease.
Cao Shujie also told his grandfather about his idea of transforming the entire mountain north of his home into a scenic spot.
"Grandpa, do you have any ideas?" Cao Shujie asked his grandfather.
Cao Zhenghu has traveled to far fewer places than his grandson, so he has no suggestions.
He said: "I only went to a few places, and you took me there, but I remembered that when we went to Xinjiang, there was a place that was quite beautiful."
"Xinjiang?" Cao Shujie thought hard, but he had been there a few years ago.
The place is indeed a good place, but I really can’t remember the details.
He also said to his grandfather: "Then I will make another trip when I have time, and I will also ask Adilijiang and the others."
Cao Zhenghu nodded frequently.
Cao Shujie chatted with his grandfather for half an hour, during which he received three phone calls, but he didn't answer any of them.
Just when he wanted to talk to his grandfather for a while, the cell phone rang again. Cao Zhenghu couldn't bear to see his grandson like this and urged him to hurry up.
"Grandpa, I'll leave now and come back to see you another day." Cao Shujie said, looking at Liu Furong's call again, he answered the call smoothly.
"Oh, my Director Cao, you have answered my call." Liu Furong came up with a tone of resentment.
Fortunately he is a man, otherwise Cao Shujie would not be able to explain clearly.
"Secretary Liu, what's the matter?" Cao Shujie wondered.
Liu Furong said: "What else is going on? I heard them say that there are quite a few people going to your village today?"
This Cao Shujie amazes him every year.
"Well, there were 10,000 people coming in the morning, and there were more than 20,000 people from both sides combined. There may not be so many people coming in the afternoon." Cao Shujie said this.
In fact, his statement is fallacious.
Taking the number of people in the morning as an example, there must be some, or even a large, overlap among the more than 10,000 people who went to the Children's Park and the more than 8,000 people who went to Mengmeng Orchard.
To be more precise, more than 20,000 people visited the two attractions in total.
Liu Furong didn't care about anything else. When he heard Cao Shujie say that there were more than 20,000 people in the morning, he immediately looked surprised: "Today is not a rest day or a holiday, but so many people can come. Director Cao, your village will be here this year."
We need to work harder on our tourism, and it will also generate income for our town.”
Liu Furong is not joking. The most obvious change is that there are more cars with foreign license plates passing by in the town today, more people are refueling, and more people are eating in the town.
There are also many people who drive cars with foreign license plates who check in to hotels in town in advance.
When someone from the town government went to do business, they saw this situation. After a closer look, they found that these vehicles were all going in the southeast direction. Some people even stopped and asked where Caojiazhuang was.
After a moment's thought, he understood what was going on. The people below reported this abnormal situation to Luo Ningyou, Liu Furong and the others.
Liu Furong had just called Cao Shujie, but Cao Shujie was chatting with his grandfather and didn't bother to answer the phone.
After the second call, the two chatted for a while, and Liu Furong finally understood what was going on.
The first time he hung up the phone, Liu Furong called Luo Ningyou and prepared to go to Caojiazhuang to see the situation in person.
The last time he went to Caojiazhuang to attend the opening ceremony of the highway, he went to see the children's theme park. At that time, he was surprised by Cao Shujie's generous investment and wondered what kind of effects a children's theme park could achieve.
Unexpectedly, more than 10,000 people entered the park in one morning.
According to this situation, how many people will come to play on the rest day?
The children's theme park invested by Cao Shujie is really popular.
"If they invest in building several similar parks in other places, will they achieve this effect?" This thought came to Liu Furong's mind.
But he's not sure now.
After the driver brought the car over, Liu Furong called Luo Ningyou to get in the car and told the driver to go to Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park.
Without calling anyone else, the driver drove the car toward the southeast from the newly widened highway.
As soon as I came here, I saw a lot of cars on this road.
There are many vehicles going in, and there are also many vehicles coming out on the other side.
There are cars with local license plates in Yiling City, cars with Quancheng license plates, cars with license plates from other cities, and even cars with license plates from other provinces.
Although the traffic volume is large, it does not appear to be congested.
The driver drove forward at a constant speed. Although it was slower than usual, he arrived at the children's theme park in more than 20 minutes.
When I saw vehicles queuing up to enter the parking lot next to the park, there was a slight congestion.
There are people in security uniforms on the parking lot, directing on-site and making gestures to let the vehicles behind go to the parking lot behind.
When Luo Ningyou saw this, he told Liu Furong that they should get off the car here and ask the driver to park elsewhere.
"Let's go in and have a look." Liu Furong also agreed to this plan.
He also told the driver to park the car and wait for their call.
When the two came over, except for some people in Caojiazhuang who recognized them, no other tourists recognized them.
The two of them were like two ordinary tourists, walking inside with the flow of people.
I saw that the park was full of people playing, and there were also people sitting on the rows of seats in the corridor, eating their own snacks, drinking water, and chatting.
There are also people queuing up to play on the slide.
There is a small sightseeing train running hard on the outer ring road in the park. When he sees someone in front of him, the driver blows the horn, and the sound of the horn is very much like the "woo-woo" sound of a steam train.
The sightseeing train was full of people, and some children on the roadside saw it and shouted that they wanted to take the train too.
The two walked further inside and came to the artificial lake. They saw many people here who had put on yellow life jackets and were queuing up to get on the boat.
There are countless small boats floating freely on the water in the artificial lake, and there are several larger boats moored on the edge of the lake.
Employees wearing children's theme park uniforms are maintaining order here. Some are responsible for distributing life jackets to tourists, some are responsible for collecting fees, and some are explaining to them some operations on boarding the boat later to familiarize them with it in advance.
"So many people take the boat?" Liu Furong asked Luo Ningyou.
The problem is that Luo Ningyou is here for the first time, and he doesn’t know the specific situation.
"I see there are a lot of people there," Luo Ningyou said.
Liu Furong seemed to be muttering to himself: "If this is the case, wouldn't Director Cao make money again?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, he spent a lot of money to invest in this park. There are so many people working in his park. They have to pay wages and maintain the facilities in the park."
"You are right, but I always feel that with so many people coming to visit him, even if he is only open for half a year, he can still make some money." Liu Furong thought so.
They went around to other paid items, only to find that there were not as many people queuing up on the pirate ship side as there were on the small boat side, but the seats on the pirate ship were also full.
Waves of exciting shouts came from above, but they still couldn't stop the people lining up below.
There were many parents and children lining up next to the three carousels.
Seeing these children having fun, Liu Furong was also happy.
Only then did he express his thoughts.
"Lao Luo, do you think that if we build this kind of theme park in other places, can it drive local economic development, stimulate consumption, and earn a certain amount of profit?" Liu Furong asked.
Luo Ningyou thought for a while and then said to Liu Furong: "Secretary Liu, in theory it can indeed make money, but I always feel that there is something I haven't figured out."
"What didn't he understand?" Liu Furong asked him.
Luo Ningyou frowned and thought hard, an idea flashed in his head, and then he realized where he had gone wrong. He pointed at the people in the children's theme park and said, "It's easy to build a park, but where can we find these people?"
"Isn't this all?" Liu Furong said subconsciously. (End of chapter)
