Chapter 392: Setting Sail Again on a New Journey

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cui Gu Village has ushered in unprecedented prosperity thanks to the vigorous development of green agriculture and handicraft industries.

The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not yet completely dissipated, but Wang Dashan has already begun planning the development blueprint for the new year.

Early that morning, the sun shone into the village, dispelling some of the winter chill.

Wang Dashan got up early, washed up simply, and went to the yard. He took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at the quiet and vibrant village in front of him. His eyes revealed determination and thought.

At this time, his wife came out of the house, holding a thick cotton coat in her hand, and said distressedly: "Dashan, it's still cold, put on the cotton coat, don't catch a cold."

Wang Dashan took the cotton-padded jacket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. There are a lot of things to do in the village this new year."

After breakfast, Wang Dashan walked towards the village committee.

Along the way, he met many villagers who got up early to work, and they all greeted him warmly: "Dashan, Happy New Year!"

"Secretary Wang, what are the big plans for the village in the new year?"

Wang Dashan responded one by one, with a friendly smile on his face: "Happy New Year! In the new year, our village must move to a higher level, everyone should work harder!"

When he arrived at the village committee, Wang Dashan took out paper and pen and began to carefully sort out his work ideas for this year.

After a while, the village cadres arrived one after another.

Everyone sat together, and the conference room was filled with a warm and expectant atmosphere.

Wang Dashan cleared his throat and spoke first: "Fellow villagers, over the past year, our village has made great achievements through the joint efforts of everyone. Green agricultural products have opened up the market, and handicrafts are becoming more and more popular. But we cannot be satisfied with this and must continue to move forward."

Aunt Liu, who is in charge of tourist reception, was the first to speak: "Dashan, I think our tourist reception needs to be improved. There are more and more tourists now, and we need to make their accommodation more comfortable and their food more satisfying. I heard that some places have those kinds of farmhouses, where guests can experience farm life and cook their own meals. Why don't we try it?"

Wang Dashan's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Aunt Liu, this is a good idea! Our village already has abundant farm resources, so it's just right to run a farm stay. Not only can it allow tourists to experience the local customs and culture of our village, but it can also increase the income of the villagers. However, there must be unified standards for running a farm stay, and hygiene and service must keep up."

At this time, the young village cadre Xiao Zhao continued, "Secretary Wang, I think we can also use the natural resources around the village to develop some outdoor recreation projects, such as hiking trails and camping sites. Nowadays, city dwellers like this kind of activities that are close to nature."

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao, your idea is very forward-looking. However, when developing these projects, we have to consider safety issues, and we must do a good job of early planning and publicity. We can organize some young people to visit the surrounding areas and learn from others' experience."

The discussion lasted for a long time, with everyone contributing and making many valuable suggestions.

Wang Dashan took notes carefully and discussed with everyone from time to time.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan formulated a detailed development plan based on everyone’s suggestions.

First, regarding the farm stay project, Wang Dashan organized a mobilization meeting for villagers who were interested in participating.

At the meeting, Wang Dashan stood on the stage and said enthusiastically: "Fellow villagers, our village is going to develop farmhouses! This is a new opportunity that will make our lives more prosperous. Everyone should tidy up their own houses, decorate the guest rooms according to unified standards, and prepare some special farmhouse dishes. As long as we manage it with care, we will definitely attract more tourists."

The villagers in the audience began to talk about it, some looked excited, while others were still a little worried.

Villager Lao Li stood up, scratched his head and said, "Dashan, it's a good idea to run a farm stay, but I've never done this before, can it work?"

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry. We will invite professionals to train everyone, from service etiquette to cooking skills. And there are so many of us working together, if there are any problems, we can help each other, it will definitely work!"

After hearing what Wang Dashan said, Lao Li put aside his worries and smiled: "Okay, Dashan, I believe you, then my family will sign up too."

Under the organization of Wang Dashan, the preparation work for the farm stay was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The village invited professional trainers to provide service and cooking training to the villagers.

The trainer patiently explained the key points of service etiquette and personally demonstrated how to make the bed and set the table.

The villagers all studied very seriously and asked questions from time to time.

In the cooking training class, the trainer taught everyone how to make various special farm dishes, such as iron pot stewed chicken, stir-fried meat, wild vegetable dumplings, etc.

The villagers gathered around the stove, watching and practicing, and the kitchen was filled with tempting aroma.

At the same time, Xiao Zhao led several young people to investigate the natural resources around the village and plan outdoor recreational activities.

Carrying backpacks, maps and compasses, they traveled through the mountains and forests, carefully looking for locations suitable for developing hiking routes and camping sites.

At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted and out of breath, but everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

During the inspection, they also encountered some difficulties.

For example, the terrain in some places is complex, making it difficult to plan hiking routes; and when choosing a campsite, one must consider both safety and the convenience of water sources and transportation.

Xiao Zhao called Wang Dashan and reported the problem he encountered: "Secretary Wang, the hiking route and camping site selection are a bit troublesome. Some places are not ideal."

Wang Dashan encouraged him on the phone: "Xiao Zhao, don't be anxious. Take your time, look around, and compare more. When we encounter problems, we can work together to find solutions. Since we are going to do it, we must do it well."

After several days of hard work, Xiao Zhao and his team finally completed the preliminary investigation and planning.

They returned to the village with detailed reports and maps and reported to Wang Dashan and other cadres.

Wang Dashan looked at the plan and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Zhao, you did a good job! These plans are very reasonable. Next, we will follow this plan and move forward step by step."

With the preparations for farm stays and outdoor recreation projects progressing smoothly, Cui Gu Village has welcomed a new group of tourists.

As soon as these tourists arrived in the village, they were attracted by the strong farming atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery.

They all stayed in farmhouses, tasted delicious farm food, and experienced the fun of farm life.

Mr. Zhang, a tourist from the city, said excitedly: "This is simply a paradise! Living in a farmhouse and eating farm food is very relaxing. And you can also go hiking and camping and get close to nature. It's great!"

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I'm glad you like it. This is the result of our joint efforts. If you have time in the future, please come and visit us."

While the tourists were visiting, Wang Dashan and the villagers were always paying close attention to their needs and feedback.

They carefully recorded the suggestions made by tourists and made timely improvements.

For example, some tourists suggested adding some lighting facilities and public toilets at the camping site. After Wang Dashan learned about this, he immediately organized people to install and build them.

Looking at the tourists having fun in the village, Wang Dashan's heart was 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.

He secretly made up his mind to lead the villagers to continue working hard to make Cui Gu Village better so that more people would know and love this beautiful village.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on Cui Gu Village, and the whole village is dyed golden.

Wang Dashan stood on a high place in the village, looking at the lively and harmonious scene before him, his heart full of longing for the future.

He knew that there would be various difficulties and challenges in the new journey, but as long as everyone united as one, nothing could stop Cui Gu Village from moving forward.

"Fellow villagers, let us work together to move towards a better tomorrow!"

Wang Dashan shouted silently in his heart, and his voice seemed to echo in the valley for a long time.
