Chapter 730: They Got Drunk Again
"Sixth Uncle, I heard this new boss is a rich man?"
At the construction site, a man in his thirties, while mixing cement, asks a man in his forties or fifties who is looking at the building drawings not far away with a cigarette in his mouth.
Sixth Uncle doesn't look back: "Isn't what you are asking nonsense? If he wasn't a rich man, could he take over this homestay?"
"Can't it, just our broken place, everything loses money. Didn't the previous boss also have a lot of money? As a result, he couldn't do it before he opened. This boss must have more money, otherwise how could he be so iron-headed, knowing it loses money and still took it over?"
"City people have sick brains, isn't it good to live in a city building? Why run to our place?"
"Hey, if you say that, isn't our broken place still good? Otherwise, are rich people fools? Losing money and still coming? Now, people in big cities just like this style."
"But this boss is indeed rich, I heard from the young people in the village, the car he drives is imported from abroad, and it cost more than one million on the ground. Also did some modification, saying it cost more than two million."
"Good, one of his cars parked there is what we work hard for a lifetime."
"Alright alright, stop talking, the new boss is coming with his girlfriend. Work hard, it's A-Yao who guaranteed us, A-Yao will be in trouble if the work is not done well. And this boss is an expert, he knows better than us, just work."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a man and a woman strolling towards this side. They hurriedly did their own work, no longer chatting, wanting to give the new boss a good impression.
It's not that they are afraid of anything, but now the work is big and the construction period is longer. More than half of this year has passed, the money earned is not much different, and it is working at the doorstep, no one wants to be fired because of some messy things. By then, having to go out to work again, it's not worth it.
Xu Hongdou endures the discomfort of her body, walking unhurriedly, looking at Wang Yan who is carrying a computer backpack and walking with his hands behind his back like an old man: "We passed by here several times before, but we really didn't look at it carefully."
"It has nothing to do with us, it's useless to look carefully. Now it's ours, right? Can't we look carefully. If you have any ideas, just mention them, now it's building the frame structure, there is a lot of room for change, I didn't change much yesterday."
Wang Yan brought the computer over just for this matter, letting Xu Hongdou have some sense of participation, he directly produced drawings on the spot. No one can resist the sense of accomplishment brought by building a house they like. After all, even if you buy a house and don't decorate it, just buying some things is very happy. Of course, there is also the reason for the house belonging to oneself, which is a sense of accomplishment.
While chatting and laughing, the two had already arrived at the homestay construction site. Wang Yan took the drawings modified by him from the foreman and gestured to Xu Hongdou what it would look like after completion.
Xu Hongdou listened very seriously, having quite a bit of the consciousness of a hostess. After listening, she strolled around the construction site, imagining what the pattern would look like after completion. After looking, she gave Wang Yan many suggestions.
Her requirements were not aimed at the outside, but at the inside. She actually didn't care much about what it looked like on the outside, because the village has regulations that the architectural style must be unified, and it cannot abruptly ruin the collective regional ethnic beauty of the village. So wanting to do some strange artistic design is not feasible, doing some changes is quite good.
Her internal pattern is aimed at two aspects. One is her imagination design for her own living space as a hostess. Second, as a hotel practitioner, she considers a good living experience for guest rooms from a professional service perspective.
It must be said that the suggestions Xu Hongdou put forward are still okay. Of course, even if they were not, Wang Yan actually wouldn't say anything. His requirements have actually never been very high. In this place, having a big floor-to-ceiling window and a big study is enough, and he doesn't care about the rest no matter what. So he praised her well, and appropriately completed it for Xu Hongdou, just like this, he spent an afternoon, restored Xu Hongdou's dream house in the computer, and received Xu Hongdou's high evaluation.
This trip was a complete success, Xu Hongdou put her arm around Wang Yan's arm, and the two strolled back again.
Xu Hongdou walked while opening her other arm, embracing the wind in the evening. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and she couldn't help closing her eyes to feel the coolness on her face.
After being intoxicated for a while, she said 'ai': "Just forgot to ask the masters, when will the homestay be built and open for business?" Her words contained expectations for the future.
Wang Yan thought for a while: "About three or four months, we made a lot of changes and increased the difficulty of construction, so the time will be longer. It should be two months to finish the house, two months to finish the decoration, and then run for two months, we can live in, and then run the procedures, basically we can open for business."
"It will take so long? Isn't that after the New Year?"
Wang Yan nodded: "The next spring, when there are many tourists, we will open for business."
Obviously, Xu Hongdou's focus is not here. She asks: "Then you will live here until it opens? Even during the New Year?"
Just now she was looking forward to the future homestay, and in two sentences she started to study other things, women, really change fast.
Wang Yan smiles: "Did you tell your family?"
"Not yet, but they should have a feeling, right? I sent small videos to the family group, you appeared in them quite a few times, then can they not think more? It's just that they haven't asked. I'll pave the way for these two days, and find an opportunity to tell them."
"Our house expires in a month and a half, that is January. Keep my room, so it's easy to have a place to stay when we come back. I'll go back with you during the New Year, the ugly daughter-in-law has to see the parents-in-law, and this handsome son-in-law also has to visit the old father-in-law."
"Did I agree, and you are the old father-in-law?"
"Ya he, then you can't blame me for using family law."
"What family law?" Xu Hongdou was not very clear, and asked very foolishly. Seeing Wang Yan's ambiguous eyebrows, and his hand was not honest on her buttocks, her mind was filled with the happy moments of last night, and she blushed in an instant: "Annoying, I'm still a bit sore now, so don't think about good things. Besides, the look Da Mai looked at me, I really can't stand it, now she must have told Nana, how can I continue to stay in the courtyard, too awkward."
"This is the great road of human relations, what's awkward? Otherwise, how did we two come out?"
"Distorted logic, am I talking about that? I'm talking about the poor sound insulation, we caught a live broadcast. They drank wine yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't do it."
Wang Yan smiles and puts his arm around her shoulder: "Forgot to tell you, when eating breakfast this morning, Nana and Teacher Hu both said that last night, in a daze, they heard some strange sounds. But it doesn't matter, they didn't take it to heart."
Xu Hongdou's face turned redder, and she wanted to fight Wang Yan with claws and teeth.
After playing for a while, Wang Yan put his arm around Hongdou again: "What do your parents and sister like?"
"They don't lack anything, my sister is a company executive, my brother-in-law is a Shanghai native, they have money, and they bought a lot of things for my parents on weekdays. There are quite a few relatives in the family, and the exchanges are quite close, and they send things to each other on weekdays. Although my parents are not employees, they have opened a small supermarket for many years, and closed it last year because my father couldn't do it, and they have a lot of savings in their hands, and all kinds of insurance..."
"I just asked for a hobby, why did you say so much. Don't worry, I definitely don't have any other ideas. You are beautiful, your personality is also good, the parents who gave birth to you must also be top-notch people. Besides, I am living with you, I accept whatever the situation is at home, don't let your imagination run wild."
"Then I have to introduce it, let you know the situation." Xu Hongdou felt beautiful in her heart, but rolled her eyes on the surface, saying, "In my parents' words, it's fine to bring people back, everything else is not important."
"That won't work, how can you go empty-handed, it's the first time, and it's for your parents' precious daughter, is it appropriate not to take things?" Wang Yan thought for a while, "Like this, buy a watch for my father-in-law, buy a jade bracelet for my mother-in-law, there is jade in Yunnan, it is considered a specialty, and buy some nutritional supplements, is that about it?"
"This is already too much, spend less money, just mean it." Xu Hongdou waves her hand, "Don't talk about it, there is still a long time, it will be in time when the time comes. When you talk about these, you make me nervous."
"What are you nervous about?"
"Just feel..."
The two chatted and walked on the road, the sunset dyed the evening glow red, covering the sky, and pulling their shadows very long...
Da Mai is not a very gossipy person, but she always wants to share with others, and Nana is a good object to confide in. Just like before, the messy things in Yunmiao Village that Nana chattered to her about, she also shared what she saw in the morning with Nana.
Not surprisingly, Nana's look at Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou also changed. However, Nana is okay, didn't continue to tell Hu Youyu, which can be considered the end.
Everyone is an adult, this kind of thing can be understood, it's just that it feels fresh when you first know it. Coupled with Wang Yan's money and Xu Hongdou's beauty, under the guidance of long-term inertia thinking, it is inevitable to have some strange thoughts.
However, everyone has been in contact for a long time, and everyone knows what level Wang Yan is, and everyone understands all aspects of Xu Hongdou. Strange is just strange for a while, and then it is just sighing about fate, fate, and unpredictable love.
Xu Hongdou's embarrassment lasted for two days, after all, she is still working in Youfeng Restaurant, and can't always be with Wang Yan. She works while chatting with Nana, and there is a very straightforward Da Mai on the side, her thinking is very divergent, chatting about everything messy, so she adapted.
Wang Yan's life also returned to normal, looking at the outline that Da Mai constantly iterated and refined in the morning, occasionally going to see the construction site, occasionally driving Xu Hongdou out, looking down at Erhai Lake from a high-rise hotel, and the rest of the time was spent editing the promotional video.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. This night, the quiet courtyard became lively again.
Today's excitement is different from the past. Except for the tenants of Youfeng Xiaoyuan like Wang Yan, Huang Xinxin, Xie Zhiyao, Xie Xiaochun, and several children like Little Hulu, Xie Zhiyao's employees, Xie Xiaochun's mother, the younger brother who ran to Shanghai and was cheated of 30,000, and even Aunt Agui, and even Yang Guanjun who set up a barbecue stall at the entrance of the village, all put down their stalls and came over, a big group of people, couldn't sit in the side room, and three tables were set in the courtyard.
"Wang Laoshi, I heard you signed a contract today?" Aunt Agui's loud voice, and very naturally followed everyone's address, addressing everyone.
Wang Yan nods with a smile: "Yes, the procedures are all done, the money is all paid, and I need Aunt Agui to take care of me in the future."
Aunt Agui smiles and shows a double chin: "Wang Laoshi is really good at talking, I am an old woman in the countryside, what can I take care of you."
Hu Youyu smiles: "Can't say that, Aunt Agui, Wang Laoshi has taken photos for you, you know Wang Laoshi's level, this promotional video you are in, when the time comes, we will send this promotional video to the internet, you will be on fire."
Yang Guanjun is roasting all kinds of skewers there, although the night temperature is low, he guards the oven, still sweating on his forehead: "Hey, this is really not sure. Wang Laoshi is amazing, I haven't heard of it anyway, in all the villages in China, which village can film a two-hour promotional video. Just this point, we can be on fire. Aunt Agui is in the mirror, cooking, dancing, there will definitely be people looking for you to take photos later."
He is a good friend of Xie Zhiyao who grew up with bare buttocks, and came here voluntarily today, all the barbecue is on him, very generous. Perhaps there is also the reason for his son coming to eat and drink, of course, there is more relationship of joining in the fun. He is witnessing the great changes in Yunmiao Village, he has a premonition, it is estimated that he can roast himself to smoke...

Besides barbecue, there are dishes packed from the restaurant, and dishes they made at home, all kinds, very rich.
Aunt Agui leans back tactically: "Huo, according to what you said, then I, Agui, have become a big star?"
Xu Hongdou smiles: "Wait until we send this promotional video out and let it ferment for a while, then you will know."
Wang Yan shakes his head: "You guys make me dare not release it, if it doesn't have any response after being released, then wouldn't I become a sinner."
"Just joking, Wang Laoshi, don't worry, no matter if it succeeds or not, we all thank you for your help to Yunmiao Village. Besides, we have confidence in the promotional video you filmed, the raw material that hasn't been cut before looks very good, not to mention it was processed by you, the photography master? It will definitely be on fire, definitely a hit. Everyone is here, play it, let's watch while eating." Xie Zhiyao fiddles with the bonfire in the courtyard, stands up, dances with his hands exaggeratedly, in high spirits.
Wang Yan smiles, connects the computer to the projector that has been moved out, operates for a while, and clicks play.
He just finished the promotional video, and mentioned it to Xie Zhiyao when signing the contract in the morning, and the result was that it became such a large-scale viewing meeting.
However, before this, the warm-up activity had already begun.
Before, he packed all the materials and sent them to Xie Zhiyao, and the employees who knew how to edit operated them in a mess. His photography level is not bad, and the equipment is enough, the things filmed are quite good even without post-processing, and it is quite good with the scenery of Yunmiao Village, just cutting it is no problem. At the same time, when he made the video, he also cut a lot of them by hand.
Huang Xinxin applied for the village committee's account on all platforms from Weibo to Douyin, and even Bilibili, and uploaded these cut videos continuously, cutting one and uploading one.
Wanting to do things, wanting to do big things, naturally, we must mobilize the masses. So the hundreds of people in
A week had passed like this, and in truth, things were already well-prepared. The most obvious sign was the increase in tourists coming to the village. Originally, there were only a few dozen people a day, but as of today, according to Comrade Huang Xinxin, who specifically squats at the village entrance to count foot traffic, it has already exceeded two hundred.
Without a doubt, these people were here because of the collective, intensive bombardment of publicity from Yunmiao Village; they were just here to see what it was really like.
And in fact, given the scale of Yunmiao Village, if more than two hundred people could come to eat, drink, and have fun every day, it would basically be quite profitable. Moreover, this flow of two hundred-plus guests was actually not far from Yunmiao Village's capacity limit; after all, it was just a small, not-so-large village...
As Wang Yan sat down beside Hongdou to eat and drink, the screen hanging at the entrance of the side room began to play images, and the speakers set up on the side emitted sound.
"How long has it been since you contemplated life?"
"How long has it been since you went for a leisurely stroll?"
"How long has it been since you had a trip that you could just pick up and leave for?"
As the young man's hoarse and decadent voice rose, the screen showed the rotating image of the blue planet, finally clicking and locking onto the satellite map: China, Yunnan Province, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunmiao Village. Then the scene shifted, seamlessly connecting to surging seas of clouds, the rising sun and setting moon, and the shifting stars.
"I wrote these lyrics. How about it? Not bad, right? Can you feel it?" Xie Zhiyao's slightly chubby male employee muttered while devouring skewers.
No sooner had he finished speaking than another slightly impatient female voice rose: "Isn't it just because the voice actor is skilled? Isn't it because Wang Laoshi made a good promotional video? Just eat your food and stop talking."
On the screen, accompanied by the music, the full view of Yunmiao Village unfolded from the center, showcasing the scenery of Yunmiao Village from multiple angles, and then the voice actor's calm and neutral voice rose.
"Yunmiao Village, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, is favored by heaven and earth..."
After two hours, eight minutes, and forty-five seconds, the final image froze on "Dali · Yunmiao," composed of countless wonderful moments. The final voice-over was, "Dali Yunmiao Village welcomes you, come to the place where the wind blows"...
Having finished watching it all, the crowd applauded enthusiastically, and the rowdy ones even cheered.
"Don't say, Wang Laoshi really has talent." Aunt A-Gui clicked her tongue in wonder, "I've lived in Yunmiao Village for most of my life, and I never realized our place was this beautiful."
Her loud voice broke the ice, and a group of people showered Wang Yan with all sorts of praise and thanks; the scene was very lively.
Of course, very few people are willing to watch something this long, and short-video platforms wouldn't allow such long clips to be posted. Wang Yan edited twelve ten-minute videos by category and sent them all to Xie Zhiyao. How the rest was arranged had nothing to do with him; he had already brought out his highest level, which was more than enough.
That night, everyone drank for quite a while, celebrating that Yunmiao Village had finally seen an opportunity to take off. Everyone present knew very well that Yunmiao Village taking off meant money; as long as there was a steady stream of tourists, then just setting up a stall to sell some strange and curious things would be profitable.
Especially Xie Zhiyao, Huang Xinxin, and the others; they were on the eve of realizing their dreams, so naturally, they were very excited and stimulated, drinking a lot, unable to be stopped even if someone tried.
And influenced by their atmosphere, the people in the small courtyard didn't drink any less. Da Mai, who claimed she would never get drunk again, got drunk once more.
But fortunately, although everyone drank a lot, in the end, they didn't leave Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou to clean up the mess. Instead, the group wobbled around and tidied up roughly, leaving the remaining work for Aunt A-Gui the next day, and only then did they break up after eleven o'clock.
After sending everyone back to their rooms, Xu Hongdou said, "You've also had quite a bit to drink, get some good rest, I'm going back to sleep."
Wang Yan grabbed her, immediately swept her up in a bridal carry, and buried his head in the crook of her neck: "They're drunk again..."
