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

Chapter 461: Taking advantage of the momentum, Cuigu Village's diversified expansion

The new year arrives with the sound of firecrackers, and Cui Gu Village is shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Wang Dashan stood in his yard, looking at the red Spring Festival couplets, thinking about the development of the village in the new year.

“Xiu Lan, you said that although our Cui Valley Village is developing well now, we still have to continue to find ways to make everyone’s life more prosperous.”

Wang Dashan said to Xiulan in the room while pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Xiulan came out of the house, holding the paste in her hand, and said with a smile: "Dashan, what are you thinking about? Just tell me what to do, I support you."

Wang Dashan took the paste and said seriously: "I think our village's agricultural experience tour and cultural exhibition center are both very successful, but we can't rely on these alone. I think we can develop some of our village's traditional skills, such as winemaking and tofu making, into experience projects, so that tourists can experience our rural life more deeply."

Xiulan nodded and said, "This idea sounds good, but it's not easy to do this. I have to ask the villagers what they think."

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Dashan called a meeting of the villagers.

"Fellow villagers, Happy New Year! A new year has come, and we must make new plans."

Wang Dashan stood on the podium of the village office and looked at the villagers below. "Our village is very popular for tourism now, but I want to add some new projects. Our village's winemaking and tofu making skills are very good. If we can let tourists come to experience them, we can make more money and pass on our skills. What do you think?"

An elderly man stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, your idea is good, but these cooking skills are what we usually cook at home. Can we turn this into a business?"

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "Uncle, we never thought that handicraft and agricultural experience tours could be done like this. As long as everyone works together, it will definitely work. We can clean up the wine-making and tofu-making areas and let tourists participate in the whole process. In the end, they can take away what they made. How interesting."

A young man also stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, I think it's OK. We can also combine these experience projects with the cultural exhibition center, so that tourists can first understand the history of these crafts and then experience them. It will definitely be more popular."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Dashan immediately took action and began to organize people to prepare for new experience projects.

He first visited several wine-making and tofu-making masters in the village to ask them for their skills and experience.

"Uncle Li, your wine-making skills are really unique. Now our village wants to make wine-making an experience project, and we need your help."

Wang Dashan came to Uncle Li's house and said sincerely.

Uncle Li laughed and said, "Secretary Wang, this is a good thing. Although my skills are nothing special, I can still contribute to the village. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will answer all my questions."

Wang Dashan found Aunt Zhang who made tofu and said, "Aunt Zhang, the tofu you make is so tender and fragrant, tourists will definitely like it. Let's make tofu making an experience project, you have to teach us more."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, don't worry. I know everything about making tofu, and I will definitely teach you everything I know."

Under the organization of Wang Dashan, several rooms in the village were vacated as experience venues for winemaking and tofu making.

Wang Dashan also arranged for someone to purchase the necessary tools and materials.

During the preparation process, we also encountered some problems.

For example, the large vats needed for brewing wine are hard to find, and the stone mills needed for making tofu are not enough.

Wang Dashan mobilized the villagers to see who had idle large vats and stone mills and borrow them first.

"Fellow villagers, we are currently lacking some things for these experience projects. Go home and have a look to see if there are any unused vats and millstones. Lend them to the village first. When the project is up and running, we will definitely not let you down."

Wang Dashan was broadcasting in the village.

Soon, many villagers brought over large vats and stone mills.

"Secretary Wang, this big jar was used by my family to pickle vegetables in the past. We don't need it now. Give it to the village."

An elder sister-in-law said.

"Secretary Wang, this stone mill has been in my house for many years. It can be put to good use."

A big brother also came carrying a millstone.

Looking at the gifts sent by everyone, Wang Dashan felt warm in his heart: "Thank you everyone! With your support, we will definitely be able to complete this project."

While preparing the experience project, Wang Dashan also did not forget to expand the sales channels of agricultural products and handicrafts.

He heard that there was a large material exchange fair in the city, so he decided to participate with the village's products.

"Sister Zhang, we must prepare well for this material exchange and bring the most exquisite handicrafts."

Wang Dashan said to Sister Zhang from the handicraft processing factory.

"Secretary Wang, don't worry. I will arrange for people to select the best products and ensure that our village's handicrafts shine at the exchange meeting."

Sister Zhang said confidently.

Wang Dashan then found Lao Li, who was in charge of agricultural products: "Lao Li, we can't be careless with agricultural products. Bring all our newly processed specialty agricultural products so that everyone can taste the good things from our Cuigu Village."

Old Li nodded: "Okay, Secretary Wang. I'll prepare our dried fruits and pickles. We will definitely not bring shame to the village."

On the day of the materials exchange meeting, Wang Dashan and the villagers came to the city early.

Their booth was beautifully decorated, with a wide variety of handicrafts and agricultural products emitting an enticing aroma.

“Wow, these handicrafts are so beautiful!”

“This agricultural product looks delicious.”

The booth was crowded with people, all of whom were amazed.

A businessman from the city came over, picked up a handicraft and examined it carefully: "Secretary Wang, the handicrafts in your village are so exquisite. I would like to cooperate with you and sell these products in my store. How about it?"

Wang Dashan said happily: "That's great! We will definitely guarantee the quality of the product and deliver it to you on time."

On the agricultural product side, many merchants also came to discuss cooperation.

"Secretary Wang, your dried fruits taste really good. I want to buy a batch and sell them in our store."

A fruit shop owner said.

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "No problem. Our dried fruits are all made from fresh fruits, so the quality is guaranteed."

At the end of the day, Wang Dashan and the villagers were very busy and received a lot of orders and cooperation intentions.

After returning to the village, Wang Dashan told everyone the good news and the villagers cheered.

"Fellow villagers, our efforts have not been in vain. As long as we keep working hard, our future will definitely get better and better."

Wang Dashan said excitedly.

In the evening, when Wang Dashan returned home, Xiulan had already prepared dinner.

"Dashan, are you tired today? Come and eat."

Xiulan said with concern.

Wang Dashan sat down and said with a smile: "I am not tired. Today is a great day. Our village's products are becoming more and more popular. We will definitely have a bright future."

Xiulan served him a bowl of rice and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to you. But don't overwork yourself, your health is more important."

Wang Dashan held Xiulan's hand and said, "I know that with you by my side supporting me, I am not afraid of anything. Let's work together to make Cuigu Village a better place."

This year, Cuigu Village’s wine-making and tofu-making experience projects were also successfully opened.

In the village, tourists can experience agricultural planting and picking, as well as participate in winemaking and tofu making, and have a great time.

"Secretary Wang, your village is so interesting. I learned how to make wine and tofu. I can make them myself when I go back."

A tourist said happily to Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "You are welcome to come often. We will have more interesting projects in the future."

Looking at the lively scene in the village, Wang Dashan knew that Cuigu Village had taken a big step forward, but he also knew that there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future.
