The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Zhou Quan's return made the working atmosphere in the homestay more lively, especially Chef Bao, who looked at the chef's assistant in amazement with his enthusiasm.

Now Uncle Wen can see that although the core of this homestay is Ah Huang, the driving force is Ah Quan. As long as this child is here, the enthusiasm of the employees will change.

This kind of smooth life has passed for more than a week, and this day, Zhouquan looks at the phone with a tangled face.

Bao Erlong, who had just returned from leading a group up the mountain, saw this and looked over, looked at the web page on Zhou Quan's phone and said, "Hey, isn't this our homestay order page? Why are you staring at it in a daze?"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan pointed to one of the orders and said, "This order, Ms. Tong, is the shop manager lady who invited me to visit the flower exhibition last time."

"Hey, it's her. Is it time to go out for leisure? Since you know her, you should treat her well."

Chef Bao who was passing by them also came over, looked at the order message and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, the mobile phone number left is the same."

Chef Bao bent down and looked at the details of the order carefully, and found that Ms. Tong had booked two rooms for two days, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Two rooms have been booked, it seems that they have quite a lot of people this time." Bao Erlong who also saw the order clearly said so.

Chef Bao tapped Zhouquan's new phone screen with his finger and said, "Remember the order number. When they come over, they will be free of food and lodging."

"Hey, then this order counts as our hospitality?"

"Well, they entertained you a few days ago, so we can't be stingy. But it's just board and lodging. If they want to participate in other projects, we don't earn the tour guide's money, and they have to give it back."

This is already very good, two rooms, board and lodging for two days at the B&B is not a small expense.

"Do you want to talk to Uncle Chen and the village committee? Didn't you say that they were interested in talking to our village about the flower garden base last time, and you were sent back? This time it's not because of this that you came here. Right?" Bao Erlong said so.

Because the family runs a grocery store and his father drives a taxi outside, Baoerlong's family is one of the few in the village with two surnames that does not have a flower shed.

But this does not mean that they don't care about the affairs of the village. You must know that the grocery store is the place where the news and gossip of the whole village are concentrated and exchanged. Anyone in the village can quickly know what is going on here.

Regarding the decision to build flower gardens and farmhouses in the village, Baoerlong's family must have raised their hands to support it. You must know that since the opening of the homestay at Bao's house, the sales of their grocery store have doubled.

Not only are the wines, beverages, and mineral water at the homestay bought from them, but even the daily necessities of the guests in the store are mainly consumed at their grocery store.

Bao Erlong, as the technical support of the village website and the senior member of the tour guide team, earns a lot every month. In addition to the sales amount from the grocery store at home, I heard that this kid has been discussing with his fiancee recently. The buyer's plan is postponed, saying that it will be stored for a year, and they want to buy a better location or a larger area in the city.

Once the business of the farmhouse and flower garden in the village starts, no matter whether it is the tourists who come here or the villagers with richer pockets, their consumption ability will definitely increase greatly, so that the grocery store of Bao Erlong's family can benefit indirectly, so they are definitely happy. See what happens.

After hearing this, Zhou Quan thought about it and thought it was very possible, so he put away his phone and ran to the village committee to inform his uncle.

The next morning, a familiar red Sagitar drove into the parking lot of the hotel, followed by a seven-seater SUV.

The two cars were parked side by side in the parking lot of the hotel. Store Manager Tong got out of his car with his assistant. In the SUV behind him, Manager Wu and his assistant who had met Zhou Quan once. Xiao Liu has also got off the car.

In addition to them, a man in his 40s with gold-rimmed eyes and a pair of elite clothes got off the car together, and a man in his 60s who was slightly fat and looked very kind in casual clothes.

Store Manager Tong walked over directly in three steps, nodded to Manager Wu and then whispered to the other two: "Chairman, Xu Tezhu, this is the village with two surnames that I told you about." , the big house in front is Baojia Homestay, a pillar industry in the village."

After hearing the words, the elite man known as Special Assistant Xu carefully surveyed the mansion not far away and said: "It does look antique, but with only a dozen people added to this yard, it can be filled with thousands of people a year." The production value of more than [-] yuan, is this too exaggerated?"

Store manager Tong didn't reply when he heard the words, but Manager Wu said: "I have carefully read all the orders of this homestay since it opened. Every order is there, and the data is normal and not fake. If the orders are all real, based on the prices of the rooms and dishes in that store, the annual output value of tens of millions is not empty talk."

After hearing the words, Special Assistant Xu took a few glances towards the bustling homestay gate and replied, "But this homestay has only been open for two months, and the official business hours are only over a month. So what if it is popular? Annual income and production value cannot just look at the passenger flow and income of two months."

"But when we entered the village just now, everyone saw that most of the people in the village were rebuilding their houses, and they were preparing to open farmhouses. A homestay can already have such a large output value and attractiveness. If more If more farmhouses are opened, the turnover will definitely exceed the present.”

"This village has no other features except flowers. I have reservations about the ability of the farmhouses run by the villagers to attract tourists." The elite Xu Tezhu still insisted on his opinion.

"Everyone, don't stand here and discuss. Listening is believing. Seeing is believing. If you have the strength to earn tens of millions a year, let's go and see for ourselves."

After the old man said a word, the others didn't say much. They left the parking lot and strolled into Bao's B&B.

Today, Zhou Quan at the front desk is still checking the bills. They have a supply relationship with the pork shop in the town. Every day, they will deliver the goods in advance according to the required quantity. Zhou Quan or Chef Bao will issue a bill to the other party after receiving the goods. Check out on a Monday.

It’s not that I don’t know, but Zhou Quan found out after doing some calculations that the amount of ingredients used in the B&B is really huge, and the pork alone can eat almost two pigs in a week.

Store manager Tong, as the person Zhou Quan is most familiar with, naturally started working on China Unicom after entering the door.

She smiled and said to Zhou Quan who was buried in the calculator: "Brother Zhou, sister is here to bother you."

Zhou Quan raised his head when he heard the words, and saw the smiling store manager. He immediately put down what he was doing and came out to greet him, "Looking at the order and the phone number on it, I knew it must be you, and now I see that it is indeed. The room has been given to you." After you have packed up, the two east chambers are the four-entry rooms, the four-entry rooms are the most distinctive rooms of our homestay, and they are filled with authentic Qing Dynasty old furniture, waiting for you to come over."

As he said that, Zhou Quan enthusiastically carried the luggage for Manager Tong, and led her and the others to continue walking in. While introducing the characteristics of each room, he quietly observed the few people who came with Manager Tong this time.

Manager Wu and Assistant Liu have met before, but the other two are very unfamiliar. They were not there when we went to the exhibition together by car.

But those two should be the ones with the highest status among the people who came this time, especially the old man who doesn't look amazing, because Zhouquan found that when he led everyone in, the others let go of them intentionally or unintentionally. Slowly, walking behind him.

Since Manager Wu and Assistant Liu will come, it means that the other party's visit this time is indeed because of the flower garden.

But obviously, Manager Wu and the others should not be the ones who can decide on this matter now.

He politely led the guests into the room, and once again played the cameo of the running boy Zhou Quan put up the menu and said: "Sister Tong, the pink menu is our special dish, pick the ones you are interested in, and your food and lodging will be free for the next few days." one."

"Hey, how can this work? Your homestay also has costs. Besides, you are not the boss. Isn't this embarrassing you?"

"It's what the boss personally said to give you a free order. He said that he thanked you for taking care of me a few days ago. This time, I just borrowed flowers and presented Buddha to help spread the word, so don't refuse, Sister Tong, because it is useless to refuse. I It doesn't count."

Store manager Tong heard the words and quietly turned to the oldest old man in the crowd. Seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting, he said: "Then sister, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders. Thank you boss for me."

Zhou Quan responded with a smile when he heard the words, and then prepared to wait for the guests to order with the menu.

This is the old man who has been pacing around since entering the house and said with a smile: "Young man, your surname is Zhou, right? Thank you boss for your hospitality. We have already eaten breakfast. We have to look at it before ordering lunch. I'll invite you over when it's time to cook."

Zhou Quan heard the words and said very wittily: "Well, I'll go out to do some work first, and if you have anything to do, call me."

After leaving the door, Zhou Quan ran towards the east of the river. He had to report to his uncle who was still waiting at the village committee.

The old man who went around the room finally sat on the kang, touched the old kang table of jujube wood under his hand, nodded slightly and said: "It is an old thing from the Qing Dynasty. Although it is only a folk object, it is very well made and well preserved. That’s right, the boss here has a heart, no wonder the room rate is far higher than other hotels, but there is still a constant flow of customers.”

As he spoke, he took the menu again, focused on the special dishes that Zhou Quan just mentioned, and said with a more playful look: "This menu is really bold. If the reviews on the Internet are all sincere, then the restaurant The chef here is very skilled. I just wanted to come here to relax, but now that I see it, I might have found a treasure."

The author has something to say:

Guest: Well, you can tell the skill of the chef just by looking at the menu. This time it is a treasure trove.

Zhou Quan: Our boss is indeed surnamed Bao...
