Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

The successful holding of the cultural festival, like a shining star, made Cuigu Village famous in the surrounding areas.

The village is bustling with people, and the laughter of tourists and the warm greetings of villagers are intertwined, forming a harmonious and beautiful rural picture.

But Wang Dashan understands that this is just a new starting point. In the tide of the times, if Cuigu Village wants to continue to prosper, it must continue to explore new development paths.

Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the yard of Wang Dashan's house, and the crowing of roosters broke the tranquility of the morning.

Wang Dashan got up early, stood in the yard, stretched, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt this hopeful day.

Xiulan came out of the kitchen with a basin of freshly washed clothes in her hand. Seeing Wang Dashan, she smiled and said, "Dashan, you got up so early today. Are you thinking about the village again?"

Wang Dashan turned around, looked at Xiulan, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been thinking these days that although the cultural and tourism industries in our village have developed well, they can be further expanded. You know, several tourists told me yesterday that they think the natural scenery in our village is particularly beautiful, and it would be even better if there were some leisure and vacation projects."

Xiulan hung the clothes on the rope and said as she hung them, "I think this is a good idea. The scenery behind our village is so beautiful, and there is also a clear stream. If we can develop some farmhouses and homestays, it will definitely attract more tourists."

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "I think so too. However, this is not an easy task. Many aspects need to be considered, such as funding, planning, personnel training, etc. I plan to call a meeting of village cadres and some villagers with ideas today to listen to everyone's opinions."

After breakfast, Wang Dashan came to the village office. Soon, village cadres and villagers arrived one after another.

Everyone sat together and Wang Dashan shared his ideas with everyone.

"Fellow villagers, our village has made some achievements in culture and tourism in recent years, but we cannot be satisfied with this. Now some tourists have expressed the hope that our village can have more leisure and vacation projects. I think this is a good development direction. If you have any ideas, please share them."

After Wang Dashan finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

Lao Zhang was the first to speak: "I think this is a good idea, but if you want to run a farm stay or a B&B, you need a place to live. Many houses in our village are old and need to be renovated, which costs a lot of money."

"Yes, and we don't know how to run a business. If we open a farmhouse, how will we entertain guests and what kind of food will we cook? These are all problems."

A young villager continued.

At this time, the village accountant Xiao Li stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, I think in terms of funds, we can mobilize villagers to raise funds, and then apply for some support funds from higher authorities. As for management, we can invite professionals to provide training, or go to other well-developed places to learn from their experience."

Everyone was talking at once and the discussion was very lively.

Wang Dashan listened carefully and wrote down everyone's suggestions in his notebook from time to time.

After some discussion, everyone agreed that developing farm stays and B&Bs is a feasible direction, but adequate preparation is required.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan started to get busy.

He first organized people to count and evaluate the houses in the village to see which houses were suitable for conversion into homestays and farm stays.

Then, he led several village cadres to visit and study some well-developed villages in the surrounding area to learn about their experiences and practices in running farm stays and B&Bs.

During the inspection, Wang Dashan and his delegation received a warm reception.

They visited local farmhouses and homestays and had in-depth exchanges with the operators.

A farmhouse owner told them: "If you want to run a farmhouse well, you must first ensure the quality and hygiene of the food so that guests can eat with peace of mind. Secondly, service attitude is also very important, and guests must feel at home. In addition, you can also develop some special tourism projects based on local characteristics to increase the guest experience."

Wang Dashan kept all these experiences in mind.

After returning to Cui Gu Village, he immediately organized a meeting of villagers to share the results of the inspection and study with everyone.

"Fellow villagers, I have learned a lot from this inspection. If we want to run farmhouses and homestays well, we must work hard on food quality, service attitude, and special projects. Do you have confidence?"

Wang Dashan looked at everyone, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Have confidence!"

The villagers answered in unison, their voices loud and firm.

In the following days, Cuigu Village was once again swept by a construction boom.

Villagers have taken out their savings and participated in the construction of farmhouses and B&Bs.

Wang Dashan ran around applying for support funds for the project and contacting professional decoration teams and training teachers.

During the renovation process, Wang Dashan would go to the construction site every day to check the progress and quality.

He put forward strict requirements to the decoration team, requiring them to retain the characteristics and charm of the countryside while ensuring the comfort and convenience of the facilities.

One day, he came to Lao Li's house which was being renovated and saw workers installing windows.

"Master, we must pay attention to the quality of the materials used for these windows. We cannot use cheap materials just to save money. This is a homestay, and we want our guests to feel comfortable and at ease."

Wang Dashan said to the decorators seriously.

The decorator nodded to show that he understood: "Secretary Wang, don't worry, we will definitely do it according to your requirements."

Under the strict supervision of Wang Dashan, the renovation projects of the farmhouse and B&B progressed smoothly.

At the same time, professional training teachers invited by Wang Dashan also came to Cuigu Village to provide training for the villagers on service etiquette, cooking skills and other aspects.

During the training class, the teacher explained in detail the details of service and the key points of cooking.

The villagers listened attentively and took notes from time to time.

A young girl stood up and asked: "Teacher, I would like to ask, if we encounter guests who make some special requests, how should we deal with it?"

The teacher smiled and replied: "When encountering such a situation, we should first listen to the guests' needs patiently, and then try our best to meet them. If we really cannot meet their needs, we should also sincerely explain the reasons to the guests and strive for their understanding. Remember, the guests are God, and we want them to have a good time here."

After several months of hard work, the first batch of farmhouses and B&Bs in Cui Gu Village finally opened.

On the opening day, the village was bustling with colorful flags flying and firecrackers blasting.

Tourists from surrounding areas flock here to experience the rural life in Cui Valley Village.

"Secretary Wang, the farmhouse in your village has a great environment and the food is delicious. Living here is like returning to my hometown."

A tourist gave Wang Dashan a thumbs up.

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment. This is the result of the joint efforts of the villagers. If you have any suggestions, you are welcome to put them forward. We will continue to improve."

Looking at the satisfied smiles of the tourists, Wang Dashan felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

But he knows that this is just the beginning and there is still a long way to go in the future.

During the operation process, farm stays and B&Bs also encountered some problems.

For example, during the peak tourist season, there are too many guests and not enough staff; some guests have high requirements for accommodation facilities, which need further improvement.

In response to these problems, Wang Dashan organized a meeting of villagers to discuss solutions.

"Fellow villagers, our farmhouses and B&Bs have been doing well since they opened, but we have also encountered some problems. Let's work together to find ways to solve these problems."

A villager said: "There is a shortage of manpower during the peak tourist season. We can hire some temporary workers to help."

“As for guests’ requirements for accommodation facilities, we can gradually improve and perfect them based on their feedback.”

Another villager offered his own suggestion.

After everyone's discussion, the problem was gradually solved.

The farmhouses and homestays in Cui Gu Village are constantly improving and becoming more and more popular with tourists.

The village's economy has also developed further and the villagers' living standards have improved.

On this day, Wang Dashan and Xiulan came to the village stream for a walk.

The stream water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and the fish are swimming freely in the water.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Wang Dashan said with emotion: "Xiu Lan, look at how much our village has changed now. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Xiulan smiled and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to you. Without you leading us, our village wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today."

Wang Dashan shook his head and said, "This is not my own achievement, but the result of the efforts of all villagers. The development of our village has not yet come to an end. There are more challenges waiting for us in the future. We must continue to work hard to make Cuigu Village better."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, lengthening their shadows.

Wang Dashan and Xiulan held hands and looked at the village in the distance, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future.

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cuigu Village is striding towards a more diversified and prosperous direction.
