A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 118 This toilet is like a palace!
The scenic area is being developed at an extremely rapid pace.

The sects are working overtime to complete the construction.

Even in the last few days, the Zongmen Scenic Area was temporarily closed, and the construction team worked in three shifts, day and night, to complete the project.

It was all for the purpose of building the sect's toilets, herb pavilion, and gambling den.

They constructed the building exactly as the design drawings indicated.

After the main structure was completed, the interior decoration also began quickly.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Qi Yue has been at the scenic area every day.

Because his courtyard was demolished and rebuilt, he could only make do with a dormitory for the time being.

Fortunately, there's enough space here.

The scenic area was built very quickly.

Qi Yue was also busy.

He also wanted to get some animals for Qingfeng Mountain.

After all, it would be a shame not to find some animals in such a large area.

Now that he has money, Qi Yue dares to think and act.

He went directly to the forestry department to inquire about raising tigers.

Tigers are far more attractive than capybaras, alpacas, miniature horses, and the like.

Moreover, there are many tigers being farmed now, and zoos usually have tigers, so it's not unusual.

Upon asking this question, he discovered that tigers can indeed be kept as pets.

All you need to do is provide proof of annual income, apply for a breeding permit, and provide at least 1000 square meters of cages and ponds, etc.

Qi Yue took one look and thought, "This isn't difficult at all."

So they immediately began the application process.

He didn't need to wait for anything; he immediately contacted the construction team to build a tiger park within the scenic area.

When the staff at the scenic area heard about this, they went over to Qi Yue and chatted with him.

Zhu Kun said in surprise:
"Raising tigers? That's incredible!"

“Our scenic area is already popular. If we could raise tigers, it would attract an even larger number of people.”

Li Yu echoed from the side:

"Indeed, the space required to raise tigers is not large nowadays."

"But boss, let me make this clear beforehand, I dare not feed the tiger."

"It's so scary."

Hearing their words, Qi Yue laughed:
"Don't worry, we'll hire a dedicated zookeeper."

Thus, the tiger park is under construction in an orderly manner.

The area is fenced off, and a poster with a tiger image and the words "Tiger Park Under Construction" is hung on the outer fence.

Many tourists come here while strolling around, and when they see this sign, they immediately feel excited.

"Building a tiger park? Does that mean raising tigers?"

"Qingfeng Mountain is getting more and more powerful!"

"I'll come back after it's finished!"

"This place is really nice."

People were talking about it.

Things are proceeding in an orderly manner.

It was a Friday, and there were many tourists.

Around 4 p.m., Qi Yue was walking his two dogs in the scenic area.

Suddenly, from the other side of Bright Moon Lake, red-crowned cranes raised their heads and cried out, emitting a series of calls.

People were instantly drawn to the sound.

Qi Yue naturally went over as well.

All I could see were six red-crowned cranes flapping their wings and singing loudly.

They nestled together, cooperating with each other, as if they were dancing.

"what happened?"

"Look over there!"

People walking and running on the cheering track stopped and admired the commotion.

Qi Yue stood in the crowd.

Little Yellow and Little Iron wagged their tails, also watching.

"They are preparing to migrate."

"I want to go back to my home in the north."

"We should go to the Northeast or the grasslands."

"It's March now, and it's getting warmer in the north."

Seeing this, Qi Yue spoke up.

Someone nearby was filming the lake, and upon hearing this, immediately pointed their phone at Qi Yue.

"Boss Qi, are the red-crowned cranes leaving?"

"It would be great to leave them here; the environment is good and the climate is warm."

"Red-crowned cranes can breed here, right?"

"I asked the tourist."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue, though reluctant, shook his head and said:

"These are wild red-crowned cranes, which are rare and protected animals."

"The scenic area will provide a good environment for wild animals, but will not restrict their freedom."

"They can leave if they want."

"It is estimated that the Chinese Merganser will also leave in another half month."

"Hopefully they can come again next year."

At that moment, Qi Yue saw two red-crowned cranes calling in his direction.

Qi Yue knew that this was them thanking him.

During the time the red-crowned cranes were in the scenic area, Qi Yue would occasionally go over to see them and feed them.

It usually happens on Mondays when the park is closed.

That's why he knew the red-crowned crane.

Hearing the call of the red-crowned crane, Qi Yue stepped out of the crowd and walked to the shore.

This is the Red-crowned Crane Wetland, which is fenced off and cannot be entered by ordinary tourists, but staff members of the scenic area can.

Seeing this, all the tourists around turned to look at Qi Yue. Then, when the red-crowned cranes saw Qi Yue coming, they also came ashore and walked towards him.

"My God! Red-crowned cranes are coming!"

Are they saying goodbye to Boss Qi?

"It seems so!"

"Boss Qi does have some skills!"

The tourists immediately erupted in an uproar.

Everyone was quite surprised.

All I saw was the red-crowned crane walk up to Qi Yue and let out a few soft calls.

These wild red-crowned cranes are more robust and larger than those raised in captivity.

After all, the wild environment is harsh, and only the best individuals can survive and reach adulthood.

"Let's go, I'll come back when I have time in the second half of the year."

"My lake is big enough, waiting for you."

Qi Yue spoke softly to them.

Upon hearing this, the red-crowned cranes flapped their wings and cried out again.

This scene looked incredibly impressive.

Red-crowned cranes are inherently ethereal, and judging from this, Qi Yue does seem to actually know something.

The tourists gasped in surprise.

Then, the flock of red-crowned cranes flapped their wings and took off, flying higher and higher. After circling once in the center of the lake, they flew into the sky and headed north.

"gone."

Qi Yue was somewhat moved.

The red-crowned crane wetland suddenly became deserted.

But that's just how nature is; Qi Yue turned around and walked back towards the track.

People immediately pointed their phones at him.

"Everyone, the red-crowned cranes have migrated back north."

"The red-crowned crane wetland should be cancelled afterward."

"We can only hope they'll come back next year."

Qi Yue said to everyone.

Then, he took his two adorable puppies and left.

Soon, the video was uploaded to the internet.

Netizens were immediately drawn to the video.

"Wow, Boss Qi is really something. The red-crowned cranes only said goodbye to him."

"It's obvious that the owner treats the animals in the park very well!"

"Only a boss like this could see the naivety and innocence of a zoo!"

"Yes, I've been there once. The animals there seemed very happy, and the greenery was very well maintained everywhere. The lawns were all flat and clean."

"The scenic area is well-maintained, and the owner is dedicated to its operation; it would be strange if this place wasn't popular."

People left comments one after another.

The scenic area's reputation is getting better and better.

Business is also very stable.

Sometimes, it can be quite crowded with tourists.

Fortunately, the Zongmen Scenic Area will be open soon, which will greatly disperse some of the visitors.

Otherwise, the petting zoo alone really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

It also damages the natural environment here.

Two more days passed, and it was finally time for the final acceptance inspection.

Qi Yue first went to the herbal medicine pavilion to take a look.

This place is somewhat like an old-fashioned traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Upon entering, there are some wooden tables and chairs around the entrance, a counter in front, and square medicine cabinets in the back.

There are consultation rooms, medicine preparation rooms, rest rooms, etc. nearby.

In the middle of the courtyard deep within the medicine pavilion, there is a one-acre herb field.

The herb field is surrounded by a fence, and beyond that, there are lawns and small trees, creating a pleasant, compact, and beautiful environment.

This place is really nice.

You can even consult an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat patients.

After visiting the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Qi Yue went to check out the gambling den.

The gambling den itself was nothing special; it was just an ordinary hall with some dice, dominoes, and other similar items inside.

Then, Qi Yue went to the sect's restroom.

From the outside, this toilet looks magnificent, like a grand hall.

There is a sign next to the main entrance that says "Toilet".

Upon entering, one finds a large hall in an ancient-style building, with men's and women's restrooms on the left and right sides, respectively.

Qi Yue first went to check out the men's restroom. As soon as he entered, he saw a row of jade toads against the wall, all of them with their mouths wide open, ready to receive a baptism.

Most of the toilets were squat toilets, and when you pushed open the wooden door, you felt a bit of a magnificent, opulent atmosphere.

There are also two toilets with seats. Pushing open the door, you are surrounded by antique charm. On the wooden floor, a lotus flower is in full bloom, with clear water in the middle.

It can be as extravagant as it gets.

"Is this okay?"

"Won't tourists find it strange?"

Qi Yue was unsure of himself.

Toilets should be kept simple.

This is so elaborate, it's a bit over the top.

Moreover, the entire toilet has an antique feel, with many carvings on the wooden structure, and the floor is tiled, but it is also bluish-gray, which makes it seem understated.

Qi Yue plans to hire two employees here to clean the place full-time.

At the very least, the sect's scenic area must be well protected.

The goal is to ensure that tourists have a pleasant experience.

Soon, the sect's landscape will be open to the public.

This sect restroom also welcomed its first wave of tourists visiting the sect.
