Chapter 6 Promise with Zhan Shideng

Zhan Shideng took a long puff of cigarette, and said with a smile: Kaitian, you are speaking of your conscience. Back then, I didn't save you, and the township police could release you? Back then, I didn't let you build a house, how could you have This Chudiju inn? As long as you still remember my love, then you will continue to do it as usual. As for the fact that everyone in the village wants to solicit customers to make money, I will block it for you! But you don’t want to ignore me for a month. Come back! Kaitian was startled: Damn, let me give you a gift once a month? But he still hurriedly agreed: That's that...

After making this agreement with Zhan Shideng, Nuan Nuan and Kai Tian's mental calculations have temporarily stabilized. The next thing that worries Nuan Nuan the most is how to make people who come to see the Great Wall of Chu stay longer in their inn Most of the tourists who come here are not those who are interested in studying the Great Wall of Chu. They usually arrive later, stay in the inn, go up the mountain to see the Great Wall the next day, go down the mountain in the evening and stay for another night, and leave after breakfast on the third day Yes, there are five meals for two nights in total. If every group of guests can stay for four nights, then the money earned can be doubled. So Nuannuan was struggling to think of a way to retain guests. She first thought The idea is to let tourists go to see Lingyan Temple. Lingyan Temple is not far from Chuwangzhuang, and the scale of the building is very large. In addition to the murals in the temple and the scenes of monks chanting scriptures and doing Buddhist ceremonies, there are also other places for tourists to visit. The pagoda forest built by the deceased great virtuous and eminent monks has double pearl mountain springs and a thousand acres of bamboo forest. If tourists go to visit it, it will take about a day. Kaitian is a little worried, saying: there are temples everywhere, and people may not be there. Willing to see. Nuan Nuan said: It depends on our words, we have to convince the hearts of tourists. Kai Tian waved his hand and said: I don’t have this ability. Nuan Nuan said: Then I will try.

Soon, a group of tourists came to see the Great Wall of Chu. When the guests finished watching the Great Wall and returned to Chu Diju for dinner, Nuan Nuan said to them: There is another place worth seeing here, and that is Ling Ling, built in the Tang Dynasty. The Yan Temple is only three miles away from our Chu Wangzhuang. This temple was built in 700 A.D., and it has been more than a thousand years since the construction of the Chu Great Wall. After seeing the Chu Great Wall and then looking at Lingyan Temple, you will feel Our ancestors were really amazing. A Great Wall was built by building fortifications, and so many temples were built by building temples. Looking at the Great Wall of Chu, you can see a kind of boldness; looking at Lingyan Temple, you can see a kind of exquisiteness Come. This temple has been destroyed and rebuilt several times over the past thousand years, but as long as it is there, the incense has been very prosperous. It is the most spiritual place to worship Buddha and pray here. People on the west bank of Danhu Lake have a saying: Burn incense in Lingyan Temple , the wealth and prosperity of the family... The tourists were moved by Nuan Nuan's words, and they all expressed their willingness to visit the temple. Even Kai Tian, ​​who was standing aside and listening, was a little surprised, and said to Nuan Nuan in a low voice: I didn't expect your The mouth became stronger, and he spoke clearly and logically. Nuan Nuan smiled and said: Now that we are in this line of work, we have to learn to practice our mouth. Tell you, in order to say these words, I have read a few books.

After breakfast the next day, Nuan Nuan took the group of tourists to the temple. At the gate of the temple, she happened to meet Master Tianxin, and Nuan Nuan hurried forward and bowed and said: Master, there are a group of tourists who want to enter the temple Have a look, won’t I disturb you? On that day, Master Xin returned a salute and said: How can we talk about disturbing? The Buddha wants to save all living beings, and he is expecting people to come to him. Please come in... That day, the tourists At first, I was attracted by the magnificent buildings and exquisite murals in the temple, and then watched the solemn scene of monks doing Buddhist ceremonies in novelty, and finally walked through the towering ancient trees, thousands of acres of bamboo, and hundreds of pagodas around the temple with great interest. , listening to cicadas chirping, birds chirping, and spring water tinkling, and playing until it was dark before returning.

This is a great place to start. But unfortunately, it only takes one day to visit the temple, and it doesn't make the tourists stay for too long. It is better to continue to think about it. That day, after the tourists left, Nuan Nuan was cleaning the yard and thinking about it. When the incident happened, I saw my father coming with two carps, and the old man shouted to Dan Gen when he entered the hospital: Gen, grandpa brought you fish. Nuan Nuan hurriedly went up to pick up the fish and gave up his seat for father, saying: Leave this fish for you and your mother to eat. Is Dangen still delicious? The old man smiled and said: I went down to the lake yesterday, because I went down the net with the wind, unknowingly, I rocked the boat into the triangular enchanted area in the middle of the lake , I looked at the buoy, and panicked and shook it out. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the smoke with the smell of fireworks came out, covering my eyes and even the bow of the ship. I shook the boat straight in the right direction. Fortunately, there was no accident, and the boat was shaken out quickly. These two fish were caught after I shook the boat out of the smoke. I think this fish is the same as the one I caught in the past. The fish is not the same, let’s bring it for Dangen to taste. When Nuan Nuan heard what Dad said, his heart couldn’t help but move: smoke? Triangle enchanted area? Yes, you can take tourists to the lake to see the strange smoke , No matter what the reason is, as long as it can prolong the stay of tourists in our house! Nuannuan told her father her thoughts, and the old man became interested when he heard it, and said, yes, go to the lake Look at the smog, it takes almost a day to walk back and forth slowly. The old man naturally understands that the longer the guests stay in the Chudiju Inn, the more money the daughter and son-in-law will earn.

Nuan Nuan called Kai Tian, ​​who was busy in the backyard, and said happily: When the tourists are about to leave after seeing the Great Wall of Chu and Lingyan Temple, I will tell them that there is an enchanted area in Dan Lake, where a strange smoke can be seen, and In this smoke, you can see what you want to see. I think, after hearing this, there are not many tourists who are unwilling to see it. This is a way to keep guests, but who's boat to go? How can we have a boat? Kaitian scratched his hair. Let's take dad's boat and change dad's fishing boat into a pleasure boat. Nuannuan said it very simply.

What? The old man was taken aback: I don’t want to fish anymore? How much money can I earn from fishing? I’m so tired that I’m going to die a day, and at most it’s about 20 catties of fish. If we take people to swim in the triangle area of ​​the lake, each person will need at least 10 yuan each time. There is no problem for two people, one trip for twelve people is 120 yuan! When there are many tourists, how much money do you think you can make by going twice a day? This... makes sense. The old man nodded: You can figure it out. Let's do what we say, go to Juxiang Street to buy some paint tomorrow, repaint the boat, make it brand new, fix twelve small stools on the boat, and replace the hatch cover with new ones , when the next group of tourists comes, let's try it again, okay?

The old man hesitated for a while, then nodded his head. Kai Tian, ​​who was standing aside, was still a little worried, and said: What if no one goes to see it? What can we do without taking some risks? Didn’t we also take risks when we built the Chudiju Inn? Nuannuan patted Kaitian on the shoulder and it was settled. The next day she urged Kaitian to buy paint and other things Shi Wu cleaned up his own fishing boat. Ten days later, the dilapidated fishing boat was repainted by Kaitian and transformed into a decent pleasure boat. Twelve stools were fixed on the boat. There is also a seat belt on the stool.

About half a month later, a group of tourists from Xuzhou came to see the Great Wall of Chu, a total of 21 people. Nuan Nuan followed the method in the past, first arranged for them to stay in the inn for one night, and took them up the mountain to see the Great Wall on the second day. Tian led them to see Lingyan Temple. On the evening of the third day, Nuan Nuan told them about the smog in the enchanted area in the lake. In order to arouse the interest of the guests in seeing the enchanted area, Nuan Nuan said very temptingly: We have another scene here. It would be a pity if you didn’t see it. In our Danhu Lake, there is a small triangular area, where you can often see a strange kind of smoke. Take a boat to see the smoke up close. , I can see what I want in the smoke; if I accidentally enter the smoke, I will be dizzy, fascinated, and there will be danger...Those people who came up first did not believe that there would be such a place, and then Seeing that Nuan Nuan was serious, they all half-believed and expressed their willingness to take a look. After breakfast on the fourth day, Nuan Nuan and Kai Tian took them to the lake. Each of them automatically paid ten yuan. After that, Nuan Nuan took them Twelve men boarded the boat first.

That day the lake was calm, the sun in the sky was shining brightly, and the visibility on the water was very good. Nuan Nuan sat at the stern of the boat, driving the cruise ship steadily. Nuan Nuan stood at the bow, introducing the surrounding scenery to the tourists. I can't help but feel a little worried about the name of the island: Will tourists be interested? The boat stopped outside the triangle area in the center of the lake. Nuan Nuan just said: The Great Wall of Chu and Lingyan Temple we saw two days ago are man-made wonders. What we invite everyone to see today is a natural wonder——her voice Before the sunset, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the calm lake in front of us and filled the air. The tourists all stared wide-eyed and exclaimed: Yo...

Nuannuan has seen this smoke more than once in the past, but seeing it rise suddenly without warning, she still feels a kind of shock in her heart. She stared unblinkingly at the smoke getting thicker The ascending volume grew larger, and at last she saw a vast expanse of houses on top of the billowing smoke... The house, which means that I still want a house in my heart. Nuan Nuan murmured... When the modified cruise ship of the Chu family returned to the shore, the tourists on board were talking all the time, everyone’s faces were full of surprise and excitement. By the water, he asked loudly to the people on the boat: Hey, did you see it? Someone on the boat responded: Yes! The smoke is really strange, it just rises from the water in one by one, and you can see there are still clouds in the smoke. various scenery... Kaitian walked towards his father-in-law, who was sitting on the bow smoking silently, Kaitian called softly: Dad, is it okay? The old man nodded: It’s okay, the guests are very happy. Kaitian stuffed a roll of money Put it into the father-in-law's pocket: This is the one hundred and twenty yuan for the boat ticket that was collected just now. The old man took out the money and put it in Kaitian's hand: put it on you, in case something happens to me when I go to the lake, don't throw it away Into the water? The rest of the day's trip to the Triangle Fascination Area was also very smooth, and the tourists were all excited about having this new experience and insight. Until the evening, the guests were still talking about the trip to the center of the lake, and they were still amazed by Dan. There is still such a magical place in the lake, and I am still guessing the cause of the smoke. Because of the two projects of Lingyan Temple Tour and Huxin Enchanted Area, the guests stayed in Chuwangzhuang for two days and two more. That night, Kaitian and Nuannuan earned a lot more money for board and lodging. After dinner that day, Kaitian stuffed all the 210 yuan for the boat tickets paid by 21 guests into the hands of his father-in-law. Feeling embarrassed, he blushed and stuffed the money into Dan Gen's pocket again, and said: How can you give it all to me? Kaitian smiled and said: After I install machines on the boat next time, we will share half of the money I earn. Said After making a wink at Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan stepped forward and put the money in father's hand again: If you want to take it, you can take it, isn't it the same as putting it here and mine? The trip to the enchanted area in the lake quickly attracted tourists, and almost everyone who came to visit the Great Wall of Chu had to visit the enchanted area again. When there were more tourists, only Nuan Nuan's boat equipped with machines was not enough. Nuan found Jiuding and persuaded him to refit his fishing boat. Kuang's family paid for the refitting, and then he came to take tourists from Chudiju to the enchanted area, and gave him 60 yuan for each round trip. Jiuding felt that this was better than Fishing is much easier, and the income is guaranteed, so I readily agreed. Kuang’s family’s daily income is already considerable. The board and lodging expenses in the inn, the tour guide fees for the Great Wall of Chu and Lingyan Temple, plus the boat tickets to the Mihun area, the big and small bills are enough to keep warm and open a field for a few days a day. It’s been a while. But they gradually discovered that some tourists came from the east bank. In order to save money, they didn’t go to their inns to find their tour guides, but went directly to see the Great Wall of Chu and Lingyan Temple. Sleeping in tents on the mountain. These people have to earn money. Since you have come to Chuwangzhuang, you have to leave some money. Nuannuan thought about it all night and came up with an idea. Early the next morning, She asked Kaitian to find two well-known lazy men in the village, with bare belly and big mouth, and asked them if they would like to do something that can make money without working. The two guys said of course. So Nuannuan let him They each carried a piece of wood and followed her and Kaitian. They muttered as they walked: Isn’t it possible to make money by quitting? Why do you still have to carry wood? Nuannuan ignored them, and only carried an ax with Kaitian He Zao walked in front until he reached the intersection leading to the Great Wall of Chu at the foot of the back mountain. The intersection was no more than five meters wide, and there were steep cliffs on both sides. This is the only intersection you can pass when you go up the back mountain to see the Great Wall of Chu. Nuannuan He Kaitian erected a simple wooden fence gate at this intersection, and built a small ticket booth next to it, and asked Chidu and Dazui to guard both sides of the wooden fence gate, and told them that anyone who went up the mountain from this People, as long as they are not from the village of Chu Wang Zhuang, they will have to buy a ten-yuan ticket from the ticket booth, otherwise, no one will be allowed to go up the mountain. Nuannuan said: You two will give each of you ten yuan for every day you stay. This is indeed a leisurely and profitable job. Chidu and Dazui happily agreed: Middle, middle, middle! Kaitian is in a stack of white paper The word "Chu" is written on the slip and stamped with his own seal, which is regarded as a ticket to go up the mountain. He sells the ticket himself, and tourists from other places think that this rule is established by the government, so they honestly buy a ticket to go up the mountain, and after a day , Kaitian actually made two hundred and thirty yuan, deducted for the red belly and big mouth, a net loss of two hundred and ten yuan. Damn, this is a free profit! Kaitian was so happy that he almost jumped up, and at the same time I regret in my heart that I didn't think of this idea long ago. If there are tourists coming from the beginning and selling tickets, how much more money will I make now! The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the number of boats carrying tourists from the east coast is also increasing day by day. Finally, "May 1st" Labor Day has arrived. Kaitian has grown so big that he has never cared about this Labor Day. He has never experienced the benefits of this festival. But now, he suddenly realized the importance of this festival to him. Because on this day, the number of city residents who came to Chuwangzhuang for tourism reached 197 for the first time. So many city people dressed in colorful clothes got off the boat at the lakeside of Chuwangzhuang, which surprised the people of Chuwangzhuang. Adults and children flocked out to watch the fun, and the men looked at the tourists curiously. With cameras, camcorders and strangely shaped kettles in their hands, the women looked enviously at the outfits of the female tourists. The fourth woman exclaimed: look at that skirt, how dare you show your thighs, In our village, it would be strange not to provoke men to touch it! Mrs. Green Onion whispered: Look at the pants that woman wears, the buttocks are stretched so tight, you can clearly see how wide the buttocks are, and you are not afraid Stretched trousers when squatting down? The woman in Jiuding laughed after hearing this, and said: Only by stretching trousers to seduce men, people are really called waves, unlike us, they will lie in the arms of their men and hum a few times !......Zhan Shideng also came over unexpectedly for a while, he thought that someone would ask who is the village director, but unexpectedly, no one asked, and no one paid attention to him, only someone shouted: Who is Chu Nuannuan Who is Kuang Kaitian? Zhan Shideng had no choice but to curse in his heart: Stupid city dweller, who has money and nowhere to spend it, so he came here to see the rotten stone wall! My mother, there are so many tourists here at once?! Nuan Nuan asked her younger sister Hehe to sell tickets for Kaitian at the intersection of the mountain, and at the same time called Ma Laosi and a few other pre-hired tour guides to take The tourists led them up to the back mountain to see the Great Wall of Chu in batches, and then told Mrs. Qingcong to hire Jiuding's wife, Huiyu, to steam steamed buns and roll noodles for the tourists going down the mountain. But how to live? Do the tourists live in different houses? Once you get started, it will be difficult to do this business alone. You must find a way! Nuan Nuan patted her forehead and thought hard, Kai Tian pulled her hair Going back and forth in the yard, Nuan Nuan thought for a while and said: There is a method, I wonder if it can be used? What? Kaitian stared at Nuannuan and asked eagerly. Use sorghum stalks to build a hut, and build dozens of them by the lake at once. In the past, some people in the village held weddings and many guests came. This method was used. It’s not cold now. I want to do it. It is a solution. Kaitian clapped his hands happily, and I will do it right away. Then he hired two groups of people, one group of people pulled the floor cart to buy bedding on Juxiang Street; The family purchased sorghum stalks. Then they used sorghum stalks to build nearly 70 simple huts on the open space by the lake. Each hut could accommodate two to three people. Futons. Since the entrances of the huts face the lake, each hut only charges 50 yuan a night, full of mountain and wild flavors. Tourists who went down the mountain after seeing the Great Wall of Chu like this kind of accommodation, and it takes less than a meal. All the huts are rented out. On this day, Nuannuan and Kaitian really made a lot of money. The tickets for going to Beishan to see the Great Wall of Chu were sold for 1,970 yuan. Hehe was ordered by his sister to sell the tickets, and he came to pay for his brother-in-law before dinner. When making money, Kaitian laughed so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth. At dinner, Mrs. Qingcong, Jiuding’s wife, and several other temporary female neighbors kept serving noodles and steamed buns. A bowl of noodles sold for 6 yuan. , a steamed stuffed bun sells for 1 yuan, but the supply is still in short supply. Adding in the income from the inn, the tour guide fee for Lingyan Temple, and the boat ticket to the Mihun area, the income of Kaitian is close to 10,000 yuan a day. Oh my god , When did we earn so much money in one day?! Before going to sleep that day, Kaitian sat on the bed and sighed after counting all the income of the day, patting the quilt on his lap repeatedly with excitement. At that time, Nuan Nuan was unbuttoning his shirt, and while taking it off, he smiled and said: It makes you happy. May Day is so damn good, it’s best to celebrate it consecutively! Kaitian rubbed his hands and said. Let me tell you, earning more in a day is not necessarily a good thing. What is this talking about? Kaitian stared at Nuannuan, his face was full of displeasure, Nuannuan had just taken off his shirt at this moment, two plump breasts squeezed out of the vest and fell into Kaitian's In his eyes, the unhappiness on Kaitian's face faded away, he reached out and grabbed them. I'm a little tired, today... Nuan Nuan couldn't say anything, Kai Tian was overwhelmed by that time. Beware of jealousy... Nuan Nuan only had time to say another sentence, and the bed shook violently... Wood Nuannuan's worry is really justified. Just after the "May 1st" and "May 2nd" two days ago, the tourists just finished walking. First, someone from the tax office in the village asked Kaitian to pay the tax. Kaitian has the last time The experience of being arrested, I was a little scared when I saw someone wearing a big hat, so I didn't dare to be stubborn, and I paid the income tax honestly. Immediately afterwards, Zhan Shideng sent Zhan Datong to call Kaitian over. It was evening, Kaitian and Nuannuan were stacking quilts for tourists in the inn, when they heard Datong's voice, they walked to the door and asked: What did he ask me to do? He said he wanted to discuss things with you. Do you know what it is to discuss? Kaitian threw a cigarette at Datong first, then poured a cup of wine and handed it to him. He said in a low voice: From his tone, it seems that he is not satisfied with your business of building a shack and selling tickets, saying that you are too courageous. Take some money. Confess in a soft voice. After Kaitian sent Datong away, he took a sip, and cursed in a low voice: Director of the ball, isn't this just asking for money?! After cursing, he put five hundred yuan in a pocket, and said to Nuannuan: I'll go to him A trip home. Nuannuan sighed: "It's missing. What's missing? Kaitian didn't understand. The money is less! Nuannuan said, you can't send him five hundred yuan. Then how much more do you want? One thousand Right. Nuannuan said, one thousand? Kaitian's eyes widened in distress, he was going to take away fifteen thousand without hesitation? Seeing Nuannuan nodding, Kaitian had to take another thousand yuan and put it in another pocket only. Zhan Shideng was standing at his gate, and when he saw Kaitian, he asked sullenly: "If I send someone to call you, you won't show my face?" Where would it be. Kaitian followed the yard with a smile on his face, I was thinking yesterday, once the tourists are sent away, I will hurry to tell you about the situation these days, and send you the money by the way. Then, he took out the 500 yuan in one pocket and handed it to Zhan Shideng. Zhan Shideng glanced at the wad of money, opened Kaitian's hand and said: I'm not a beggar, and you don't have to spend money to come here. Send me, today I am formally greeting you with two matters as the village director. One is that outsiders go to Beishan to see the stone wall and buy tickets. It must be handled by the village, and you cannot let all the money fall on you alone In your pocket, the mountain belongs to the public, and the stone wall was not built by your Kuang family, understand?! The other thing is that you used sorghum stalks to build huts. Your huts occupy the land of the public, and it is easy It will cause a fire, so it must be removed immediately! As soon as Kaitian heard it, he understood that Zhan Shideng felt that the money he gave was too little, so he quickly took out the thousand yuan from the other pocket and said, "Look at me, if you don't know what to do, let me explain. I brought it today." The 500 yuan is half of the ticket income for people going up the mountain to see the stone wall; the 1000 yuan is half of the net profit for tourists to eat, live and play. I set a rule for myself, no matter how much I earn I can only keep half of the money for myself, and the remaining half must be given to the director. It is the director who gave me the convenience of making money. I have to forget that I have no conscience, so I am not a human being! Stuffed it all into Zhan Shideng's pocket. Zhan Shideng's face became warmer now, he no longer took out the money to refuse, but pointed to the stool in the yard and said to Kaitian: "Sit down, I gave you money just now." You said those two things because people in the village have already reported it, and I have no choice but to say hello to you. Let’s ignore it. Since you are willing to do it, you can continue to do it. I will turn a blind eye and close the other. Just pretend you didn’t see it. Kai Tian hurriedly thanked him again, feeling sorry for the 1,500 yuan while saying thank you, God, he took the 1,500 yuan without moving, he took it away You have to thank him for your money, which is really rare in the world. He was really unwilling, so he made another request: Director, I am afraid that there will be more tourists in the future and the existing house will not be able to live. I want to live in the house in front of the door Do you think it would be okay to build a few more houses on the vacant land? Do as you like, cover you if you want. Zhan Shideng waved his hand as a way to see off the guests. Back home, Kaitian told Nuan Nuan how he met Zhan Shideng, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, he didn't invest money or work hard, and took the money away easily! Nuan Nuan had expected it earlier." Like this, I was speechless for a while, and finally said: If you don’t want to be angry with him, you have to fight to become the director! Kai Tian was surprised when he heard this, and said: Who will let me be the director? Zhan Shideng Will he let me be his director? Nuan Nuan said coldly: No one said that Zhan Shideng must be the director of Chu Wangzhuang. Isn’t the director elected every three years? Kai Tian laughed : You are dreaming, who will choose me? We have neither the right nor the power, let’s receive tourists honestly and earn our money. I told Zhan Shideng just now, and he promised to let us build a few more rooms for tourists Nuannuan nodded and said: The house should be built, this shack can only be used once, it is impossible to let guests live in the shack all the time. In the next few days, Kaitian started to buy bricks, tiles, and cement again. At home, Nuan Nuan led Mrs. Qingcong to receive some scattered tourists. Later that day, Nuan Nuan was packing things with Mrs. Qingcong in the inn, and saw a few People from the city walked into the courtyard, and she thought they were coming to see the Great Wall of Chu again, so she invited them into the house and told them to stay first and then go up the mountain tomorrow. Those people were taken aback after hearing this, and said, "Why go up the mountain? We don't go up the mountain. We came to see the lake. Nuannuan thought they were here to see the smog in the enchanted area in the center of the lake, so she hurriedly said: It’s too late to go to the enchanted area in the center of the lake at this time. When I find a boat for you and sail to the center of the lake, it’s about the same It was getting dark. Those people were stunned again, and asked: What is the enchanted area? We don’t want to see it. Nuannuan was surprised, and asked: Then why are you here? One of them replied: We came here specifically to see the lake Nuan Nuan was very surprised: What is there to see in the lake? Besides, when you came by boat from the east bank of the lake, didn’t you just walk on the lake? Have you ever seen it? The man laughed and said: We can see it with the naked eye. We have already seen the water of the lake. Our task is not only to see it with the naked eye, but also to use various instruments to carefully test the water in each water area of ​​the lake. Only then did Nuan Nuan notice that there were several big ones in their luggage. Box. Nuannuan was even more surprised, but it’s not good to ask them why they carefully tested the water, just ask what she needs to do for them. One of the leaders said: We inquired on the east bank of the lake, and we know that you live in Chu It is the closest and cleanest inn on the west bank to the lake. We plan to rent your inn for ten days as our board, lodging and office. The fee will be paid according to your original standard. By the way, please hire a boat for us , Follow us down to the lake every day for testing. When Nuan Nuan heard that this is a good thing, she quickly nodded and said: "Okay, okay... When Kaitian came back in the evening, Nuannuan told him about the new arrivals. Kaitian was also surprised, and said to himself: It was just to test the lake water? Could it be that there is something wrong with the water in our Danhu Lake? Kaitian decided to get rid of it. After breakfast the next day, after negotiating the price of the charter boat, he drove the refitted father-in-law's small pleasure boat and carried those people down the lake. Those people spread out a map on the boat, opened the field to look at it, and said "the whole map of Danhu Lake" written on it, people pointed and drew on it, and then explained the route of the boat to Kaitian: first walk around the lakeshore, and then They went to the five water areas in the southeast, northwest, and middle of the lake. Kaitian was both surprised and happy. What surprised him was that the shoreline of the lake was so long. It was not easy to walk around. It would take several days. What are they going to do? The happy thing is that the longer they rent the boat, the more money they make. In the next few days, they will drive the boat to follow their requirements. Everywhere they go, those people are busy fetching water, The machine on the boat observed the water, which made Kaitian amused: What is the value of the lake water? This stop-and-go, went straight for more than a week. After more than a week, the boat returned to Chuwangzhuang. And those Kaitian, who was already familiar with the people, grabbed one of the young people and asked them what they were going to do on this trip to Danhu Lake. The young man said: We are here to comprehensively test the water quality of Danhu Lake. If the water quality is up to standard, a The water diversion project may start soon. Oh? Kaitian's eyes widened. He heard that the water in this big lake was going to be diverted to the north when he was a child. Is it true? After the test, do you think the lake water is qualified? The man smiled and replied: The last set of data has just come out. The lake water is not only qualified, but also high-quality water similar to mineral water. It can be drunk directly without any purification. , especially in the smoky water area in the middle of the lake, the water quality is better than the best mineral water. You people who live by this lake are blessed. Drinking this lake water often will make you live longer! Kaitian also laughed: The people and livestock in our village really drink directly from this lake on weekdays. Now that you said it, I remembered that there are quite a lot of people in our village who have lived to be over ninety years old. There is an old sixth grandmother Already one hundred and two years old, teeth can still chew and eat fried soybeans! The young man laughed and said: The water in Dan Lake will be diverted to the north in the future. Chew and eat fried soybeans when you are old! Open the fields, after the water diversion project starts, your village on the shore may become lively. Lively? How lively? Kaitian didn't understand. There must be many people who come to see this lake and its water. Really? Kaitian's heart skipped a beat: If that's the case, there will be more opportunities for him to make money. Of course it is true. People in the north drink the water in Danhu Lake, and they will naturally have the idea of ​​going to the source of water. At that time, there will be no fewer people coming from Tianjin and Beijing... When he went to bed that night, Kaitian told Nuan Nuan what he had seen, heard and asked these days. Nuan Nuan lay there and pondered for a while, and said: It seems that this is another opportunity, we have to do well Prepare for the increase of tourists. Aren’t you going to build a house? This time, the house should be built decently so as to receive people from big places. Kaitian nodded and said: That makes sense. Glass windows, make the floor of the house into bricks, paste a layer of floral paper ceiling under the roof, and hire a few good carpenters who can do detailed work to make the bed, table, and chairs look good, As soon as people enter the house, they don’t want to leave. Nuan Nuan laughed when she heard this: You can blow it up, no matter how good the house is, people won’t want to leave once they enter the house. Have you seen such a house in the world? Yes Kaitian smiled: Our house is like this, every time I enter the house and see you undressed and lying on the bed, I really don’t want to leave anymore! Go! Turning around, exposing the white and tender back to Kaitian's eyes... Mu Kuang’s expansion of Chudi residence this time is very different from the previous two times, because everyone in the village knows that Kaitian and Nuannuan have money, so it is very convenient to do everything, and people are willing to help. Said To pull bricks and tiles, a few boys from the village pulled up the floor cart and left with Kaitian; when they asked for a carpenter, a few carpenters from the village rushed over with their tools; He came to the door and said: Brother Kaitian, sister-in-law Nuannuan, just give us work! Both Nuannuan and Kaitian were a little surprised. In the past, they always asked others to do things. I didn't expect that now it was others who wanted to help them. The couple naturally knew that it was the power of money. Others knew that they had money to do this. This made Nuan Nuan feel the importance of making money. If we make more money in the future, we may be able to do anything. It's easier. Zhan Shideng, one day, you won't dare to bully us anymore! Counting Kaitian and Nuannuan's old yard, this is the fourth time Kuang's house has been built. It would be great to expand Chudi's residence, but Kaitian didn't make up his mind at the moment. Nuannuan said: Once it's built, build it Bigger. The couple finally agreed that a total of thirteen new rooms should be built: five rooms in the main room, of which the room in the middle became the passage connecting Lao Chu’s residence; two rooms in the east wing and two rooms in the west wing; two rooms on each side of the gate. .The four main rooms and wing rooms will be used as guest rooms in the future, the two rooms on the east side of the gate will be used as kitchens, and the two rooms on the west side of the gate will be used as restaurants in the future. Due to the sufficient materials and many craftsmen hired, there was no bad weather after the start of construction. The house was built It went very smoothly, and in just ten days, more than a dozen new houses were erected. The same color of blue bricks, gray tiles, and white walls looked really pleasing to the eye. The big yard I entered hadn’t been there yet. On the day the yard was expanded, many people in the village came to see it. Uncle Heidou joked with Kaitian, “I’ll know when you see this yard. If I’m a swordsman, old man, I will come to your house to rob it tonight! Kaitian also smiled and said: All my money has been invested in this house, you can only grab a few broken quilts if you come to rob it; Zhan Shideng went to the east bank of the lake to do business in Nanfu City in those days, and when he came back to see Kaitian’s Xinchu Diju, his eyes widened and he didn’t speak for a long time. Kaitian wanted to expand the house with his permission Yes, but he didn't expect Kaitian to build so many new houses at once. As a result, not only the number of houses greatly exceeds his own, but the houses are also as beautiful as his own. It seems that this kid is He really made money! He was secretly surprised, a feeling of being threatened was born in his heart for the first time. Damn, these two couples are really going to become big?! It's time to kill their aura! After Kuang’s family’s Chudi residence was expanded, Nuannuan said to Kaitian, “It’s too busy for the two of us to clean up such a large courtyard for tourists. We have to hire three girls from the village. Let them specialize in this job. Otherwise, the guests may be treated slowly. Kai Tian asked: How much should I pay for them? Nuan Nuan pondered for a while: I only care about food, and the salary is two hundred... The expansion of Chudiju has made everyone in Chuwangzhuang see the strength of the Kuang family. I heard that Nuannuan and Kaitian are going to recruit three girls to be helpers in Chudiju. , more than a dozen families in the village brought their daughters here, and begged Nuan Nuan and Kai Tian to keep their children. Thinking of such a scene, Kaitian was afraid that he would offend others, so he asked Nuannuan in a low voice: What should we do? Nuannuan was very excited at that moment. This was the first time she married into the Kuang family. This time someone came to beg herself. She smiled and said to those girls and their parents: You are willing to come to my house to help, because you think highly of us, although I can only use three people at the moment, but I will write down your names, I will still employ people in the future, and those who did not stay today, I will definitely find you in the future. She picked three girls to stay that day, and the rest left with hope. Not long after the expansion of Chudiju, the beds, tables and chairs in the new house had just been finished, and the bedding hadn’t been bought yet. The first batch of guests came to see the water source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It was an afternoon, Nuan Nuan was in the house Li and Kaitian were discussing what kind of quilt to buy, when they suddenly heard noisy voices outside the door. The two came out and saw that it was a tourist group composed of old men and women from the city, and there were more than 50 people. , everyone had a big red plastic sign hanging on their chests. The leader was a young man who came over when he saw Nuan Nuan and Kai Tian and asked: Can you accommodate fifty-two people in Chudiju? If we can, we will live there We can’t stay here for one night on the west bank. We simply go around the west bank and then take the boat back to the east bank. Yes, of course! In the rooms that are to be used as kitchens and dining rooms, beds can also be placed first. Three beds can be placed in ten rooms, and two beds can be placed in each of the other eleven rooms, just enough to accommodate them all. How do you calculate the price? Q. If three people live in a room, each person will be charged 100 yuan a day with food and lodging; if two people live in a room, each person will be 110 yuan a day even with food and lodging. Okay, then stay. The man waved Raise the flag and make up your mind. Do you want to enter the room to rest now or in the evening? When Nuan Nuan asked, my heart was pounding. There is no bedding on every bed in the new house. How can people enter the room to rest ? Fortunately, the tour leader shook his head and said: If you don’t go in now, you should first look at the water along the shore of the lake, you know? Our tour group is composed of veteran cadres from Beijing. Whether the water in Beijing is clean or not, I specially took the opportunity of traveling to do a field investigation... For the rest of the afternoon, Nuan Nuan asked Kai Tian to hire a walking tractor and immediately went to Juxiang Street to buy quilts. The girl laid out the bed and tidied up the house, and she volunteered to accompany the tourists from Beijing along the lakeshore. First, let them see the bark grass on the embankment, the kudzu grass planted on the bank, and the peppercorns, tung tree and tung tree planted on the hillside. Xinyi Linzi; then encourage them to take two groups of cruise ships to see the clear lake near the shore; after they are assured of the water quality, start telling them that there are three sights worth seeing here: the Great Wall of Chu, Lingyan Temple and the lake in the middle of the lake. Fascinated smoke, if you don't look at you, you will regret for life... 暖暖用了她能记起的所有好听的词语,把楚长城、凌岩寺和湖心三角区介绍了一遍,最终把那些原本只是来看湖水的北京人的游兴挑了起来.他们纷纷向领队要求,延长在西岸的停留时间,把三个景点全部看完.暖暖见状心中暗喜:又要赚一笔钱了! 这些老人因为已退休有的是时间,干啥都不慌不忙,加上腿脚不灵便,行动迟缓,所以看三个景点整整用去了四天.这让暖暖喜不自禁:可真是财神爷送钱来了!四天里食宿费、导游费加上船费和上山的门票费总共收入近两万元,扣去买粮买菜买肉的两千多元,剩下的都装到了暖暖的衣袋里.这是楚地居扩建好后接待的第一批客人,也是用客房接待客人最多的一次.这批客人临走的时候,旅游团的头头特意走到暖暖面前说:你这楚地居在乡间接待游客的场所里,算是很不错的一家,尤其你们的饭菜,有乡间村野风味,让吃惯了大鱼大肉的城里人很觉新鲜,大家都很满意,我所在的旅行社以后肯定还会组团来这丹湖游览,我想和你先口头约定,你这楚地居作为我们的定点旅店,如何? 啥叫定点旅店?暖暖不甚明白. 就是我每次带团来都住在你的楚地居里,即使有别的团要住,你也要先尽我的人住. 暖暖一听是这个,忙笑着答说:行,行,我就怕我的楚地居里住不满人哩…… 这次待客的成功让暖暖对今后的日子更有把握,看来下决心扩建楚地居是对的.照这回的收入,要不了几次就能把当初的投资全部收回来.客人走后的那天晚上,暖暖高兴地对开田说:今晚咱们把做饭的青葱嫂和惠玉,把导游的麻四哥、摇船的九鼎还有那三个帮工的姑娘都叫过来,温点黄酒让他们喝,也算庆祝咱新扩建的楚地居首次待客成功.开田分明有些舍不得,摸着后脑勺吞吐着说:都已经给他们开过工钱了,还用再花钱请他们喝酒?暖暖生气道:这样抠门?我这不是想图个喜兴?!开田见暖暖生气了,才忙点头应道:好,好,我这就去给他们说. 下酒菜做好,黄酒温热端上来后,暖暖举起酒碗说:这回咱扩建后的楚地居开张成功,全仗几位哥哥嫂嫂弟弟妹妹的全力帮忙,来,我和开田敬你们喝一碗!麻老四喝下碗中的酒后笑道:开田、暖暖,你们是咋样烧香拜佛弄出了这份福气?给四哥我说道说道,好让我也学学,日后也发他一回,也像你们一样盖上他几十间房子.青葱嫂闻言没待暖暖和开田说话,先开口笑道:咋样烧香拜佛?就是你三百六十五天别和俺四嫂同房亲热,然后再去凌岩寺里烧香磕头,保准能求来一份福气!为啥不准和老婆同房亲热?麻老四涎了脸笑问.身子不净心不纯嘛!青葱嫂说.麻老四嬉笑着转向开田:这经验是真的吗?你们两口子真的是一年都不在一起睡一回吗?暖暖羞得脸蛋红透,朝麻老四呸了一口…… 喝罢酒送走麻老四和青葱嫂他们,村里人早已入睡,四周一片安静.暖暖和开田去楚地居里检查门窗是否关好.两个人由大门分开一左一右摸着黑分头逐间检查,检查到最后一间屋,开田忽然抓住了暖暖的手.咋了?暖暖一下子没明白开田的意思.嘿嘿.开田笑了,这院子扩建好咱还没在这儿睡过呢,咱得尝尝在这新屋里睡觉的味道.你呀!暖暖用手指在开田鼻子上点了一下,就随他进了屋.开田关上门后,一边把暖暖抱放到床上一边说:今黑哩你别再拦我,我要完完全全放开做一回,平日里在老屋里做,既怕惊动老人又怕惊着丹根,总是小心翼翼的,不过瘾!暖暖在黑暗中笑了一下,捏了一下开田的脸颊轻了声说:没羞! 这是自从有了丹根后开田最放肆最用劲的一回,弄出的声响惊天动地.可暖暖知道,这样的大院子,这点声音根本传不出去,她自始至终没去制止开田,只是闭了眼睛任他尽兴,到最后,她自己也不由得叫出了声……木 因为没有客人要接待心里放松,加上两口子夜里做那事太用力,第二天早上开田和暖暖都没有按时起床.太阳都升起一竿高了,两个人都还在蒙头大睡.开田是因为太累就睡在了楚地居里,暖暖因为要照看丹根坚持回到了老院.可那阵子丹根早已熟睡在了奶奶床上,暖暖也就没再去惊动奶孙俩,独自睡了.到了平日吃早饭的时候,早已起床的丹根就嚷嚷着要去叫醒爹和娘,说他们平日总讲不能睡懒觉,凭啥自己睡懒觉?奶奶笑着拦住了他:往日有客人住在咱家,你爹你娘总是早起晚睡,难得有这样的歇息机会,让他们睡吧,咱们先吃,把饭给他们留在锅里,他们啥时起床就啥时吃.不想奶孙俩的对话声刚落,院门外忽然响起了村主任詹石磴的喊声:开田在吧?跟着,就见詹石磴站在了院门口. 开田娘见状忙上前让着:呦,是主任来了,快进院里坐.开田他还没起床,我这就去叫他.说罢,将院里的一把椅子朝主任手里一递,就忙不迭地向开田和暖暖的睡屋走.暖暖那时已被詹石磴的喊声惊醒,正满脸厌恶地披衣起身,看见婆婆进来,忙轻了声说:我不见他,你去楚地居里叫开田,他昨夜在那儿睡着.婆婆点头后又急忙出去向詹石磴道歉:让你等了,开田昨夜睡在前院,我这就去叫他. 暖暖这时已经穿好衣服下了床,隔了窗户看着坐在院里悠闲吸烟的詹石磴,一看见他,当初所受的那些侮辱就又在脑子里翻腾了出来,一股恨意便立刻从心里生出.狗东西,你来我家是要干啥?又想要钱?不是刚给了你一笔钱吗?把人家用汗水换来的钱拿去自己花,你心里就那样安宁?!以为我们的钱是捡来的,可以随意来要?!暖暖的两只手不由得攥成了拳头…… 主任,对不住,我睡过头了.开田这时边扣着衣扣边慌慌地跑进了院子.来,吸!跟着就掏出香烟朝詹石磴递过去. 不吸了,开田,你如今是楚王庄的富人,应该高枕无忧地睡大觉了. 哪里哪里,主任,你有事?开田赔着小心问. 是呀,没事哪敢登你这三宝殿? 有事你派个人来喊一声,我过去就是了,还劳你跑过来? 今天这事呀,是大事,所以我得过来亲口跟你说一声. 啥大事?有关俺家的?开田有些意外. 对.根据上边的规定,为了保证丹湖的水质,你们家的楚地居要停止接待游客,以免污染湖水.另外,后山上的石墙是老辈子就有的东西,你家也无权卖票和领人参观.还有凌岩寺,那是人家和尚们的地方,你也没必要总领着人去游览,谁愿看谁就自己去看,你们不要多管闲事.从今往后,你该种地还种地,你岳父该打鱼还打鱼,不要再瞎折腾了! 这——开田惊在那儿. 我这是正式代表上边和村委会通知你,你要敢违背,可要小心—— 开田急了,脸通红地说:咱们不是说好了吗,俺们收入的一半给你吗? 我可不愿再让你来搪塞我!詹石磴冷冷一笑:给我一半?你说我会信吗?你盖了这样大的一座院子,你给我的钱够我盖半个院子吗?算了,咱们还是公事公办,停止,停止你们的全部活动!咱们大家都还像过去那样过日子! 那恐怕不行!暖暖这时冷着脸从屋里走了出来. 詹石磴闻声转过身子,眯细了眼不阴不阳地笑道:嗬,我还以为内当家的不在哩,怎么个不行呀? 我看过电视,电视上说在丹湖沿岸不准建工厂,以免污染水源,没有说不准在现有的不再后迁的村庄里建房接待客人,客人不就是解个大小便吗?大小便咱最后又都作为农家肥施到了庄稼地里变成了庄稼,这咋能会污染湖水?就是没有游人来,咱村里人不是照样大小便吗?你是主任,你还能不懂,正是因为有了农家肥,这湖岸上的庄稼、草木才长得欢实,湖水也才变得更清. 你还挺能讲的嘛!詹石磴的眼依旧眯着,你有你的理,上边有上边的规定,咱得照着上边的规定办.我既然告诉了你们不要再接待游客,你们就必须照着办! 上边的规定错了,也得允许俺们百姓讲讲理吧?暖暖的眼也瞪了起来:你说俺们盖了这么多的房子,不让搞接待,那干啥用? 那我就管不着了.詹石磴幸灾乐祸地笑着:你们可以当仓房嘛,把各样粮食都分开放在里边,把柴火啥的也都堆进去,还有猪和鸡,都可以圈进去. 暖暖的牙咬了起来,她真想骂出一句:说的全是混账话!可她最后还是压下了火气,让声音平和下来:明明有很多游人需要房子住,你就眼睁睁看着他们为没地方住宿作难? 这咱们就管不了了,詹石磴摊摊手:谁叫他们大老远地跑到咱们这儿来看水看石墙?水有啥球看头?用石头堆的一道石墙值当来看?哪里没有寺院,值得跑到咱们这儿看凌岩寺?还有湖心区那股烟雾,我不信它就比城里那些五颜六色的灯光还好看?!我看他们是吃饱了撑得没事干才乱球跑的,他们没地方住是自己找的,咱们没必要为他们操心! 我反正不能让我楚地居里的房子闲着!暖暖到底没能压住心里的那股火,话里带着怒气. 看来你们是身上有钱说话也硬气了,好,咱们就等着瞧!詹石磴冷冷地扔下这句话,起身就出了院门. 开田见状有些慌了,走到暖暖身边悄声说:他狗日的也火了,他肯定要对咱下绊子,咱接下来咋整? 啥子咋整?暖暖瞪他一眼,惹火了他他还能把人吃了?我就不信上边是那样规定的!咱们不能再像过去那样忍气吞声. 那天剩下的时间,一股怒气一直在暖暖的心里翻:詹石磴,你这会儿还想让姑奶奶去你面前乞求,不行了! 这件事过去的第三天午后,暖暖听见小码头上人声嚷嚷,就估计是又有游览的人来了.出门一看,果然,几十个城里男女正由小码头那儿向这边走,暖暖急忙喊出开田,两人快步向游客们迎过去.心想,我先把他们安排住下,看你詹石磴有啥子办法阻拦.没想到她和开田还没走几步,码头上就传来了詹石磴用铁皮喇叭筒喊着的声音:各位游客,根据上边要求,本庄上的所有人家不再接待游客,请你们务必在天黑前向东岸返,以免无处住宿! 暖暖和开田惊愣在那儿:詹石磴竟使出了这一招?!暖暖恨而无奈地盯住詹石磴的身影,在心里骂道:狗东西,你倒是先下手为强,心可真狠!游客们一听说西岸不能食宿,就有些慌了,上岸匆匆看了一阵,连后山上的楚长城也没敢去看,就又回到了送他们来的一艘船上,开始向东岸返.平日被开田雇来当导游的麻老四不知发生了啥事,奇怪地跑过来问暖暖:嗨,大妹子,主任为啥不让你们接游客了? 主任怕俺们累坏了,想让俺们歇息几天.暖暖咬了牙答. 嗬,他倒是管得细.他这一管,老子就要少挣钱了.麻老四嘟嘟囔囔地走开了. 一直站在码头上的詹石磴,这时带着得意的笑容向暖暖和开田走过来,一本正经地说:两位多担待些,本人也是执行公务,上边的指示,没有办法,谁让我是主任哩. 我们要去告你!暖暖恨声道. 告吧!去乡上告,去县上告,都随你!詹石磴眯了眼笑道,我奉陪!我知道你楚暖暖现在手里有了些钱,敢跟我说硬话打别扭了,要是三年前,奇-書∧ 網你敢跟我说这话吗? 三年前我也相信你终有一手遮不了天的时候! 那咱们就走着瞧! 走着瞧!暖暖猛地扭转身,没让对方看见自己因气愤而流出的眼泪……木 夜月早沉到湖里了,楚王庄的狗们也都已睡熟,村子里一片静谧,只有暖暖还坐在楚地居正房前边的台阶上,眼直直地瞪住院门楼的顶脊.心里还在恨着疼着:要不是詹石磴作梗,今天这座院子又会挣来不少钱.这么多房子,闲一天就是多大的浪费呀!院门吱的一声,开田由院外走了进来.睡吧.他说.睡不着.她叹了口气.咱,能告赢吗?开田低了声问.一定要告赢,难道就眼睁睁看着这些房子闲在这儿? 他个娘!开田在黑暗中骂了一句,也在暖暖的身边坐下了. 家里还有多少钱?暖暖问. 一万九千多! 明儿个带上一万,咱们先去乡上,乡里不行再去县上,县上不行就去市里! middle! 给青葱嫂和咱雇的那几个姑娘交待一声,让她们夜里就睡在楚地居里,替咱们看着门.给禾禾交待,让她来陪着咱娘,照看好俩老人和丹根. 中!…… 暖暖和开田是第二天中午赶到聚香街乡政府的,暖暖让开田买了两瓶丹湖白酒和两条丰阳烟,径直去了乡政府的传达室,进门就对老传达叫道:大哥,你这一向可好?俺和俺娃他爹来街上赶集,顺道来看看你.说着就把烟酒放下了.那老传达有点受宠若惊,忙给暖暖和开田让坐,同时推让道:带烟酒干啥?咋能让你们破费!暖暖脸上早无了上次来见老传达的那份惶恐,只朗声笑道:好久不见你了,带点小礼物算个啥?要不是你上回帮忙,俺这个家还不定成啥样子了! 一番寒暄过后,暖暖才说:大哥,俺有桩小事想顺便到乡上问问,像俺们楚王庄那地方,要是家里房子宽敞,又刚好有些来看丹湖的游客要住,俺们该不该留他们住下,也好额外挣点钱?
