Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a newly built four-lane asphalt road leading to the outside world.

The trees on the mountain were felled vigorously a few years ago, and the vegetation was not very good. However, since the hot spring was drilled here, the government announced that it would return farmland to forest to protect the ecology. Nowadays, hot spring health tourism has been developed here, and more attention is paid to the construction of the environment.

The road was newly built and street lights were installed, and the appearance changed drastically.

"There will be a variety of fruit trees on the mountain, and there will be some peach blossom festivals and picking festivals in the future. They also said that they will set up food processing plants to drive the industrial chain." Li Jianping pointed to the mountain and his sister.

"If you plant fruit trees, I'm afraid it won't be a success."

"It is difficult to build for a long time in one or two years."

When I come back in a few years, the surroundings will definitely change a lot.

Li Wei pulled her elder brother's clothes tightly, his face was wrapped in a scarf, only a pair of eyes were exposed. Li Jianping rode fast and arrived at their hotel in a short time.

A simple archway was built at the gate, with auspicious clouds painted on it, and two large stone lions squatted at the door. The lion's mouth holds the orb. The door was so high and wide that it was no problem to get in and out of two cars.

She got out of the car. Walking into the courtyard, the layout of the scenery is the same as she painted. The corridors, octagonal pavilions, pools, and Zhaobi are quite ancient.

With small bridges and flowing water, and nine-curved corridors, it has the charm of a garden.

Passing through this well-arranged garden, you can see the two-story Chinese-style houses with white walls, gray tiles and red panes.

These two buildings are all guest rooms, a total of 32 guest rooms. There is a row of white bungalows in the back, where the canteen warehouse and the Li family live.

The Li’s hot spring hotel has two pools, one large and one small. The larger one can accommodate more than twenty people at the same time, and the smaller one can accommodate seven or eight people.

Although it didn't take long for it to officially open, the government's publicity was in place, and some people came to hot springs and stayed in hotels last weekend.

"How many rooms did you open today?"

"Four rooms have been opened, but two of them may be retired soon, and the other two are for elderly people and may take a few days."

The hot spring water was gray-green with a strong sulphur gas. Although it was winter, the hot smoke from the pool made people feel warm. There were not many people, so only a small pool was opened.

The guests asked for clean towels, and Li Jianping hurried to the tidying room to bring towels over.

To prepare lunch, you have to clean the guest rooms. Although the work is not tiring, it is trivial. There are four members of the Li family, Li Wei is studying outside again, Liu Chunzhi is in charge of the kitchen, Li Jianping is in charge of the inside and outside, Li Minghua is sloppy, he can't help with the meticulous work, Li Jianping hired a helper, just when he was busy Still seem to be understaffed.

Li's hotel is not big, it's just a small garden covering a few acres. Soon Li Wei finished the stroll, and was called by her elder brother to help in the kitchen.

Picking, washing, and cutting vegetables is her job, and it is not her turn to go to the stove. Li Wei was busy peeling potatoes, and Liu Chunzhi and Li Minghua came over. The couple unloaded the vegetables they had just bought on the tricycle.

Liu Chunzhi glanced at the potatoes that Li Wei had cut, and frowned, "It's far from enough. I have to cut another ten more."

"Oh." Li Weixin asked, is this preparing for a potato meeting? She has shaved a lot. There are bacon and sausages drying in the kitchen, as well as marinated beef and dried duck.

"When is the pig killed this year?"

When Liu Chunzhi saw her daughter's question, he replied: "These are the second pigs you saw, and there are only these left, I'm afraid there will be more than 40 kilograms of meat. I'm afraid I have to buy another pig when I look back."

Li Wei thought that the Li family's business seemed pretty good.

Liu Chunzhi asked Li Minghua to read today's menu and was busy with side dishes. After Li Wei helped him, he was assigned to clean up the guest room.

She took clean sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases, changed everything on the bed, and cleaned the glass and the sink. Arrange the guests’ things neatly.

After cleaning the two rooms, Li Wei felt a little tired. If the business is good, you can imagine how hard it will be. The other two helpers’ girls were taken out. Then it was time to hand dry towels to the people in the pool to prepare boiling water, as well as the shower gel, shampoo and other things in the shower room.

Things are trivial and must be careful. It was the first time Li Wei came into contact with these running back and forth, a bit like a headless fly. Sure enough, the guests with two rooms left the room at noon. There are only four elderly people left. Liu Chunzhi readjusted the recipe again and prepared light, soft and easy-to-digest food.

In the afternoon, there was not so much to do, so Li Wei rode the bike around.

Some other hot spring hotels are also under construction. They vary in scale. Li Wei walked around and looked at it. If the architecture has its own characteristics, they must be considered unique. She began to think that by this time next year, it must be another scene.

It was not easy to push the car up the mountain. Li Wei only rode a circle along the newly built road. He was worried that after being away from home for a long time, the family would look for her, so he prepared to go back.

On a downhill road, Li Wei did not put on the brakes, enjoying the thrill of speed. Her car skills were already adept enough, but the **** of the road was too long. After a turn, a dark blue pickup suddenly appeared in front of her. Li Wei quickly squeezed the brakes, so that she had quick eyesight and quick hands, or she would collide with the pickup truck.

The pickup also stopped in a sudden stop. When Li Wei was about to leave, his head suddenly appeared in the cab, and he scolded a few words displeasedly: "Hurry up and reincarnate, do you still have no eyes?"

The driver is a young woman. Li Wei felt that the responsibility for this matter lay in her repeated apologies. Fortunately, the female driver did not entangle Li Wei endlessly.

Li Wei went out and the pickup went inside, all in peace.

When Li Wei returned to his home, Liu Chunzhi was cleaning the kitchen. Li Wei took the initiative and took the broom to help.

"You went out to take a look, what do you think of this place?"

"Quiet and quiet, it would be better if all the trees on the mountain grew. It is a good choice to come here in summer to escape the heat."

"But soaking in hot springs has to be interesting in winter."

Li Wei also wanted to take a dip, but she had to wait until the guests returned to the room to rest in the evening before she had a chance.

Liu Chunzhi asked about Li Wei's life at school and about his part-time job.

My daughter can't afford to go to university at home, so she is very proud.

"I heard that your senior year will be out for an internship, how can you figure out a way out?"

Li Wei said: "I'm paying attention to the announcements of major recruitment and examinations. There is still almost a year to look for."

Liu Chunzhi said to her daughter earnestly: "It's better to go back to the Western Province, you are too far there, it is not convenient."

Li Wei vaguely agreed.
