Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 427
The three members of the village committee held a small meeting to discuss matters needing attention during the large gathering, and the time passed by in the evening.

As for the job fair, Li Hongbing thought about it and decided to recruit people door-to-door. This would be convenient for everyone. If they are not selected, their trip would not be in vain.

The setting sun passed through the window and dyed the room a soft orange color.

Li Hongbing threw away the pen, stood up and stretched, "The plan is basically like this. This big event needs to be famous instantly. It is best to set the time on Saturday and Sunday, so that the popularity will be better."

Fang Wanda nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Today is Monday, we will use four days to warm up and promote online, and try to find a way to attract 4000 tourists to Saturday and Sunday."

"Looking at the venue, whether it is in a small square or a meadow, I think the meadow is better because it is in a loose location and can accommodate more tourists." Jianjun also expressed his inner thoughts.

"Good idea, Jun, you are starting to make progress!" Li Hongbing's eyes lit up.

I kept looking at the small square in the village when the big fair was held.

If it were placed on a meadow, 4000 tourists and villagers would not be able to eat it easily.

Moreover, the meadow has just been ploughed, and the ground is flat and spacious, making it the most suitable for large-scale gatherings, especially events such as large gatherings.

"Then it's decided, it will be changed to a meadow gathering."

Fang Wanda thought of something and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Li, Zhao Xiaoyong and Wang Xin took a lot of videos for your wedding. I plan to select some materials and put them online for publicity, okay?"

Video material! !
Li Hongbing hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to Fang Wanda's request.

The only requirement is that his and Shan Xing’s faces cannot be shown in the video, and other people’s faces should be shown as little as possible.

Seeing that the two of them still had something to say, Li Hongbing quickly stopped. If he continued, he would not be able to finish until dark.

"The general framework is set. You can discuss the rest among yourselves. Let's go have dinner after get off work. I've booked a banquet in the canteen."

The two looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, packed up the plan, and followed Village Chief Li out of the office.

Walk out the door and look up at the mountains in the distance.

In the sunset, the tops of the endless mountains were completely covered by clouds, as if they were wearing a hat.

"It's going to rain." Li Hongbing said with emotion.

There is an old saying in the forest area: Wear a hat on the mountain when it rains, but halfway up the mountain when it doesn't rain.

This is the experience accumulated by farmers who depend on the weather for thousands of years. If you see clouds on the top of the mountain, it indicates that it will rain heavily in the next two days.

"Jianjun, remember to take people to check the canals and the hillside behind the village tomorrow. Don't be like Uncle Confused's house again, which got washed away in the middle of the night. Forget it, I'll be with you tomorrow."

"Okay!" Jianjun agreed.

The three of them walked along the village alley and found that the ground was extremely clean. Not to mention vegetable leaves, even larger stones could not be seen.

"Widow Liu, let me tell you, from now on, if you dare to squat on the roadside to pick vegetables again, believe it or not, I will sleep in your bed tonight and rely on you every day."

"Chunsheng, what are you so crazy about? I'm not the only one choosing vegetables on the roadside. Come and try it tonight. I'll leave the door open for you. It depends on your ability. If you don't come, you will be my grandson."

"Okay, I'll go back and move the bedding, you wait!"

There was a quarrel in the village alley, and Li Hongbing hurriedly looked for it and saw Chun Sheng blocking Widow Liu at the door of her home, with rotten vegetable leaves piled on the front steps.

"What's the fuss about?"

When Widow Liu heard Li Hongbing's voice, she seemed to have found someone to support her. She pushed Chunsheng away and ran to Li Hongbing in a few steps, shouting with grievances on her face.

"Uncle Hongbing, you have to make the decision for me. Listen to what Chunsheng said. You want to get under my bed tonight. It's true that I'm a widow, but I can't do this to others."

"Say less." Li Hongbing looked at Chunsheng, "What's going on?"

Chun Sheng was even more aggrieved and pointed at the vegetable leaves on the front steps.

"Village chief, Widow Liu and a group of old women were picking vegetables along the way, throwing rotten vegetable leaves everywhere. I made arrangements with the others, but Widow Liu didn't listen, so she had to pick vegetables on the road."

Li Hongbing frowned and stared at Widow Liu, "Did you throw it away?"

Widow Liu was panicking. She could act like a rogue when dealing with Chun Sheng, but she couldn't do it with Uncle Red Soldier. Not to mention the money she earned from tourism in the village, she had no chance to repay the favor last time when she rescued someone.

"I didn't pay attention. I promise not to choose food on the road next time."

"Next time, I have told you so many times that the village must maintain good hygiene." Li Hongbing scolded Chunsheng while looking at Chunsheng, "Let her patrol the streets with you tomorrow. If she catches someone who is not hygienic, she can leave. If you can't catch her, she will go on patrol. Continue patrolling when we arrive.”

Hey!
Chun Sheng's aggrieved expression suddenly burst into laughter, and he nodded in agreement. He thought to himself that the village chief still cared about him, and knew that he had been wronged, so he came here to support him.

Patrolling the streets tomorrow!

Widow Liu opened her mouth wide, with reluctance written all over her face, but she didn't dare to talk back. In the end, she could only accept her bad luck, thinking that no matter what she said tomorrow, she would catch someone unlucky and patrol the streets for her.

"Clean the door." After seeing that the matter was settled, Li Hongbing reminded him, pulled Chun Sheng away.

Although the old ideas of Chunsheng are solidified and will not help much in the development of the village, managing trivial matters between neighbors is basically no problem. Li Hongbing plans to redistribute the work of the village committee.

Fang Wanda is in charge of the village's tourism operations, Jianjun is in charge of village affairs, and Chunsheng asked him to manage the village's health and safety.

In this way, the work is clearly defined and everyone does their own thing, so as to avoid quarreling in advance and then starting to mess up the accounts.

On the way, Li Hongbing told the three people about his idea and received immediate support, especially from Chunsheng. After scanning the village alleys for an afternoon, he finally found out a few pounds of his own.

It's okay to take care of the small things in the village, but he can't handle the big things. He's not as smart as Sang Wanda, and he's not as steady as Jianjun.

The village chief not only did not fire him, but also asked him to manage the health and safety of the village. How much trust does he have?

"Village chief, don't worry, I guarantee that health and safety will be done well and there will be no mistakes." Chun Sheng was so moved that he almost cried.

"Okay, you should take care of the sanitation for the next few days. Tourists will come to the village soon. You have to hurry up and check every corner of the village. If anyone is disobedient, go patrol the streets. If you can't control it, tell me."

Li Hongbing liked Chun Sheng's seriousness and energy. Although his ideas were old-fashioned, they were problems left over from the countryside, so he couldn't blame him.

Come to the cafeteria.

The originally ventilated eaves on all sides are covered with plastic sheets as curtains, so that even if it is windy and rainy outside, it will not affect the people inside eating.

At this time, through the plastic curtain, I could vaguely see the crowds of people moving in the cafeteria, and bursts of laughter could be heard.

After opening the curtain, three tables of banquets had been arranged in the cafeteria. The villagers who helped with the work stood aside and talked and laughed. The dandy young men seemed to have sobered up for a short time. All of them were unkempt and ragged, sitting weakly on stools.

As soon as Li Hongbing showed up, he was greeted by all kinds of greetings.

"Brother Red Soldier."

"Uncle Red Soldier."

"Doctor Li."

"Sit down, sit down first when you come, what are you waiting for me to do!" Li Hongbing walked to the seat opposite the banquet with a smile and sat down, hypocritically complaining to the villagers.

Everyone just took it as a kind word.

It is an old rule in the forest that the guests cannot sit down before the host invites them to dinner, let alone eat first.

As for the dandy young men sitting down at the next table, they are just like air. Not everyone can do as the Romans do.

"Everyone, sit down. It's been a hard day for everyone. I won't mention wages. Eat and drink well tonight. Don't be polite to me." Li Hongbing smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

"You are looking down on us if you raise wages."

"There's plenty of fish and meat every day, and I can't stand the food cooked by my mother-in-law. Uncle Hongbing, what else will I have to do tomorrow?"

"No, my mother-in-law back home said I've gained weight in the past few days."

"If you gain weight, work harder at night, and you'll lose weight in two days." "Go away, why don't you work harder yourself?"

Everyone was laughing and joking with each other, and Li Hongbing interrupted from time to time, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

At the dinner table, Da Kui's face was red from drinking. He picked up the bowl and touched it with Li Hongbing. After drinking, he asked, "Uncle Hongbing, how are the preparations for the big gathering going?"

Other villagers quickly pricked up their ears.

"It's settled, it will be this Saturday or Sunday. Just prepare the money." Li Hongbing wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

"That's great. I will buy dozens of kilograms of pork this year and make some bacon to try."

"It's not a bad place. We eat enough radishes and cabbage in the winter, and the shit we poop smells like radish. This is a big market to buy fish and meat, and make cured fish and bacon."

Li Hongbing then said, "Don't just save winter vegetables. Director Fang has prepared 4000 tourists this time. Prepare your own things and earn some money."

4000 visitors.

Be nice!

"Uncle Hongbing, our village can accommodate so many people." Shuisheng recalled the scene of a sea of ​​people in the village at the beginning, still feeling a little frightened.

"It's okay. Let's put the big gathering in the meadow. Let alone 4000 people. Even if it doubles, we can accommodate it. You just need to make money and don't worry about other things."

Li Hongbing waved his hand grandly.

The villagers immediately felt relieved, picked up their bowls and began to toast Fang Wanda.

Compared to the villagers' table, Dalang Ge's table was much quieter, and almost no one touched the food on the table.

As for the wine, it was placed all alone on the table, with no one even looking at it.

Li Hongbing sat down next to Brother Dalang with a bowl in his hand, "Hey, what's going on? You've become like this after drinking some wine. Who brags that he is the king of nightclubs, drinking from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn." "

At this time, Brother Dalang had no intention of joking anymore. Now his head was buzzing and aching, his heart was full of nausea, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.

The other dandies also had the same expressions, hanging their heads in despair and making nauseating sounds from time to time.

"Don't be greedy when drinking!" Li Hongbing grinned and turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Master Su, make a basin of sobering soup for the young gentlemen to taste. Your rice wine has made them diarrhea."

"Okay!" Master Su's happy response came from the kitchen.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Hongbing remembered eating out. Before telling Shan Xing, he took a few dishes from the kitchen, greeted the villagers, and then left the table and went home.

It was getting dark, and street lights illuminated the way home.

Woohoo!

In the meadow beside the mountain road, several long wolf howls sounded, including a howl with a tigerish spirit.

Followed by.

Several black figures rushed out from the meadow and quickly ran to Li Hongbing, shaking their heads.

"You've finished your meal!" Li Hongbing reached out and plucked a handful of rabbit fur from the corner of Erhei's mouth.

Nowadays, most of the animals at home, except for White Snake, don't eat at home. They have eaten meadow hares and pheasants, and they no longer look down on the food at home.

Even the princess made a home in the meadow with her half-grown ocelot cub, and only occasionally went home for a walk.

This is what Li Hongbing wants. The purpose of raising these animals is to eventually return to the mountains and forests.

Li Hongbing walked into the old house.

A faint smell of braised pork wafts from the kitchen.

Ah!
Added coriander and diced pickled radish.

my favourite.

Carrying the vegetables into the kitchen, Shan Xing sat in front of the stove in a daze. The flickering firelight shone on Shan Xing's charming face, which gave her an indescribable beauty.

Put down the dishes.

Li Hongbing sneaked up to Shan Xing's ear and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Yeah!

Shan Xing was startled by the sudden sound, and smashed the fire tongs in his hand.

Ouch!

Li Hongbing covered his head and screamed.

Behind the stove, Li Hongbing was sitting on a horse, with his head raised, and there were two bruises in the middle of his eyebrows from the tongs.

"You're so cruel, you hit me on the head!"

"Does it hurt? Who asked you to scare me? Just put some sesame oil on it and it'll be fine soon."

"Hey, be gentle. I wanted to be the team captain when I was in school, but now I'm finally on the same page."

Shan Xing dipped her fingers in sesame oil, gently rubbed the bruises, lowered her head and leaned forward to gently blow the hot air.

After a while, the wound seemed to no longer hurt.

"Have you eaten?" Shan Xing put away the bottle of sesame oil.

"No, I asked the helper to eat in the cafeteria in the evening. You were at home alone. I was worried and came back early." Li Hongbing said aggrievedly.

When you come back, you come back. If you are exposed to a pair of fire pliers for nothing, it is not unjust!
"What's wrong with me being alone at home? Why don't you worry?" Shan Xing said lightly, but the happy smile overflowing on his face could not be concealed.

A small square table was brought and placed at the mouth of the stove.

It's cold in the mountains at night, so sitting by the stove to eat not only keeps you warm, but also warms you up.

A few plates of small pickles, a pot of braised vegetables and vegetables brought back from the canteen.

A large bowl of handmade noodles was placed in front of Li Hongbing. Shan Xing held out his chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, or the noodles will become lumpy."

Hey!

"The delicacies from the mountains and the sea are not as good as Xing'er's bowl of noodles."

Li Hongbing flattered him, picked up the marinade, poured it into the bowl, mixed it with pickles, chopped the chili peppers, and stirred it up with his chopsticks.

A bowl of handmade noodles comes out of the oven. Although it doesn't look great, the taste is really extraordinary.

"Eat slowly! There's not enough left in the pot!" Shan Xing sat next to him, watching Brother Hong Bing gobble up the noodles. The woman who fell in love with her deeply had unconcealable affection in her eyes.

"Comfortable!" Li Hongbing was aroused by Shan Lazi. Sweat broke out on his forehead and he felt comfortable all over.

"Myolie, it's going to rain tomorrow. I just need to clean up the cellar and prepare to store some winter vegetables. There will be a big fair in the village in a few days. Take a look at what's missing at home and buy some together later."

"Can our village also hold a big fair?" Shan Xing thoughtfully took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Li Hongbing's forehead to prevent it from touching the injured eyebrow.

Li Hongbing immediately put down the bowl and said unconvinced.

"Why can't it be held? Not only do I want to hold it, but I also want to hold it in a big way. It will be more lively than the big fair in town."

Shan Xing reluctantly agreed.

"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful, your face is getting cold!"
