Farming Space Makes Me Rich-Chapter 828 - Tour
Chapter 828: Tour
After lunch, Lei Junshan and Lei Zongze did not have the habit of taking a nap. So, Xiao Lingye brought them around Taoyuan Village.
After eating and drinking their fill, the Lei brothers decided to take a look outside.
After all, from what they saw on the plane, the scenery of the village was truly stunning.
They had long heard that Taoyuan Village was what the netizens called a true paradise. The village also specialized in peaches, so this place was filled with peach blossoms.
It just so happened that it was the beginning of spring in March, and hundreds of flowers were blooming.
The Peach Blossom trees of the village were naturally in full bloom as well.
Compared to the peach blossom trees in winter, the peach blossom trees were now filled with peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains. The pink petals fluttered in the breeze, and it was a beautiful sight to behold.
“Xiao Lingye, how many peach trees have been planted here? Why can you see peach flowers everywhere?” Lei Zongze asked, ignoring the past grudges.
Xiao Lingye said, “More than 6,000 of them have been planted. From the town road to the village entrance, peach trees are planted on both sides of the road. When you enter the village, there are basically peach trees everywhere.”
Lei Zongze was a little speechless as he said, “With so many peach trees planted, are the fruits they produce edible?”
Xiao Lingye said, “Yes, other than the peach trees cultivated in the peach forest, which are ornamental peach flowers, the rest will produce edible fruits.”
“There are more than 6,000 peach trees. There must be a lot of fruits. Can you sell all of them?” Lei Zongze asked suspiciously.
A peach tree could produce at least a few hundred kilograms of fruit. Could they sell all of them?
Xiao Lingye smiled and said, “Some of the peaches are sold as fruit, some are used to brew wine, and some are used to make cans. In short, no matter how many peaches there are, they will all be used.”
“But these peaches are not easy to preserve.” Lei Zongze was still very doubtful whether all of the peaches could be used up.
Xiao Lingye did not answer him directly. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, “You will know when the peaches are ripe!”
The peach blossoms in their village were famous, so naturally, the peaches were also famous too.
Even before the trees were treated with spring water, the fruits were crisp and sweet. After they were treated with spring water, the fruits tasted even better.
Therefore, the peaches in Taoyuan Village were big, crisp, and sweet. They were sold all over the world. Moreover, the price was not low.
Lei Zongze saw how mysterious Xiao Lingye sounded and rolled his eyes, “There’s no need to be so mysterious. Hmph, when the time comes, I’ll come over and take a look. I’ll see your trade secrets then.”
Xiao Lingye said, “Master, CEO Lei…”
Lei Junshan suddenly said, “Ye ‘Er, call him Brother Lei!” CEO Lei felt so distant.
Lei Zongze’s eyes lit up, and his expression was clearly a little excited. He said, “That’s right, Xiao Lingye. I’m older than you, so you have to call me big brother. Haha…”
Lei Junshan looked at his younger brother with a face full of black lines.
Xiao Lingye did not mind. He simply called out, “Big Brother Lei!”
He and Lei Zongze did not have much of a grudge, to begin with. It was just that Lei Zongze was really childish.
Xiao Lingye went back to the topic and said, “Master, Brother Lei, do you want to take some more look around? Do you want to go up the peach blossom mountain? However, peach blossoms look best in the morning. The flowers are bright and colorful with a little dew. They’re very cute and beautiful.”
Lei Zongze immediately said, “Xiao Lingye, didn’t I hear that you have thatched cottages here? Where is it? Take us to see it, okay?”
He heard that if he wanted to live in this thatched cottage, he had to reserve it a few months ago. His secretary had already reserved it.
He was really curious.
Xiao Lingye smiled and said, “Okay, no problem. Master, Brother Lei, let’s go this way!”
On the way to the thatched cottage, Lei Zongze’s face was filled with surprise.
When he first learned about Taoyuan village from his secretary, he only knew that it was a very interesting place, but he did not have much of an impression. After all, there were many interesting places. Moreover, his big brother suddenly said that he would send him to Taoyuan village for a period of time, so he naturally had some resistance in his heart.
After that, when he slowly learned about the scenery of the village and its various characteristics from the internet, his interest was piqued. The more he learned, the more he looked forward to coming to Taoyuan Village.
Of course, he had to hide this anticipation in front of Xiao Lingye. Otherwise, if Xiao Lingye found out that he wanted to go to his hometown so badly, he would laugh at him.
Taoyuan Village was open all year round. Other than the few days during the Lunar New Year holiday, they were open the rest of the year. There were also quite a number of tourists during normal times.
Now that it was peach blossom season, there were a lot of tourists.
Therefore, no matter where one went in Taoyuan village, there would always be tourists coming and going.
Therefore, on every road in the Peach Blossom Village, no matter if it were the main road, a small road, or a corner, there would be beautiful scenery to be seen.
For example, on the road to the thatched cottage, besides the peach blossoms that accompanied the path, there were residential houses on both sides of the road. The outer walls of each house were carefully designed. They showed off ancient Chinese architecture.
Lei Zongze smiled very happily and said, “Haha, it’s really interesting! What are the drawings on these walls?”
Lei Junshan saw the genuine smile on his younger brother’s face and couldn’t help but reveal a gratified smile. It seemed that sending his younger brother to Taoyuan Village was a good decision. Even he was reluctant to leave after tasting Mother Xiao’s cooking.
The taste of the dishes cooked by Mother Xiao was really deeply etched in his heart. It tasted like home.
They walked for about half an hour before arriving at the thatched cottage.
“Damn, it really is a thatched cottage!” Lei Zongze was extremely surprised when he saw these thatched cottages.
“I thought the name was just a marketing strategy.” Lei Zongze gasped, “I didn’t expect them to be based on the thatched cottages of those poor families in the ancient times on television.”
However, that was only the appearance. The structure of these cottages was very sturdy. Of course, they had to be sturdy because they were meant for tourists. If they were not sturdy, who would want to stay here?
Xiao Lingye pointed at a few thatched cottages and said, “This is for short-term tourists, and those are for long-term rental.”
“What’s the difference?” Lei Zongze asked curiously.
“Long-term rental thatched huts are more difficult to book. In terms of price, they are quite high,” Xiao Lingye said honestly, “However, long-term rental thatched huts will come with a piece of land. The renter can use the land freely.”
Lei Zongze asked again, “How much is the rent?”
Xiao Lingye said, “At the beginning, it was 9,999 RMB a month, but now it has risen to 19,999 RMB a month.”
“That’s a 10,000 rise in price!” Lei Zongze said in surprise, “Isn’t that too much?”
Lei Junshan said, “It’s not expensive at all. The presidential suites of those five-star hotels cost tens of thousands a night.”
“But can this place be compared to a five-star hotel?” Lei Zongze retorted.
“You got it the other way round. The presidential suits of a five-star hotel can’t compare to this place.” Lei Junshan said very seriously, “Taoyuan Village has beautiful scenery and fresh air. This is a good place to heal and recover. Staying here one month or two will really heal one’s soul.” Lei Junshan could not help but reveal some envy in his eyes.
“Xiao Lingye, who are these long-term renters?” Lei Zongze asked curiously again.
“Most of them are retired people!” Xiao Lingye said. As for the identity information of those people, it was confidential. Of course, it could not be casually revealed.
“Oh!” Lei Zongze nodded in understanding.
