Chapter 1484

During the May Day holiday, although the wild vegetables in the fields were aging a lot, because the weather was suitable, there were still many tender shoots emerging.

A hundred or so tourists were digging around on the barren hillsides, in the ridges, and even in other people's abandoned fields, like treasure hunters; digging up wild vegetables made them happier than finding money.

And looking at the results!

Sister Yanran went for a stroll in the fields out of boredom, and when she returned, she shook her head at everyone: "Digging for an hour is barely enough to make a single dish."

By the time they had their fill, the group of them who had to pick the vegetables would still have a long wait.

Since that was the case, they nimbly moved their stools out and earnestly tasted the strawberries sent by Tian Tian.

"How is it?" Tang Xiaodong asked: "I feel there's a bit of a gap compared to the ones we grow."

"It should be a normal flavor discrepancy." Sister Yanran analyzed: "The parent plants in the greenhouse are all in our fields, and plus the soil and water in Yunqiao Village are good, so it's normal to have this difference. But the texture of their strawberries is still far beyond the market overall."

According to the specific situation Tian Tian sent every day, their batch of strawberries had a yield of 1000 jin per mu. Although they weren't big, considering they had already fruited once during the New Year, this yield was a surprise.

The three of them earnestly finished tasting a box and concluded: "Qualified this year. Wait until summer to save seeds, and then see which of the stolons cultivated in the autumn can maintain the advantages through iterative inheritance."

Actually, for an economically annual crop like strawberries, maintaining the advantage for one generation is enough. But to promote them on a large scale, one must first have enough parent plants, so one still has to look at the breeding advantage.

The three of them thought of their papers and couldn't help but feel happy again at this moment.

And at this time, the river beach was also a scene of harmony.

Qiao Qiao and Xiao Yang came to find Chen Chi while he was working; Chen Xi was actually unhappy about it. But seeing Chen Chi happily hand him a box of strawberries, he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yang, who was used to seeing Father Yang manage employees, took the initiative to explain: "Brother Chen, don't worry, we aren't here to disturb Chen Chi's work; we mainly came to give him this box of strawberries—we just agreed to eat them together after he gets off work."

But for now...

Qiao Qiao took a strawberry at this moment and secretly called Da Wang over: "Da Wang! Eat it quickly and secretly, don't let the other dogs see."

Favoring only one dog was truly too difficult for someone like him who tried to treat everyone equally. But fortunately, Da Wang was very good at eating; with its warm tongue, one roll and the strawberry disappeared without a trace.

And Qiao Qiao also became happy: "Da Wang, do you know? Secretary Xiao Zhu said you are the most irreplaceable and important blind box in our village!"

Even those who don't like dogs would want to take a picture of a big dog for the novelty, right? Everyone wandered around the village, but they had only seen Da Wang once in total, so its scarcity was maxed out.

And that dark-filter photo in the style of Agence France-Presse on Tremolo set off Da Wang's majestic, heroic, and extraordinary appearance, along with a unique cold beauty! As soon as it was put on Tremolo, it struck people's hearts directly, and by now, that video had already been seen by many, many people.

Secretary Xiao Zhu kept a close eye on online trends and could already predict: There would only be more people coming tomorrow.

This time when Qiao Qiao came to run into her, he even received a commission.

At this moment, he repeated the words exactly as they were to Da Wang:

"Da Wang! You're going to have a salary! Secretary Sister said she wants to invite you to patrol the village once every day from now on, any road is fine!"

"They'll allocate 150 for your food expenses every day, and then they'll give it to Master Jiang to make meat stew for you; do you want to be a temporary worker!"

This amount of money was truly a huge investment by Secretary Xiao Zhu; she even held a short meeting for it!

The elderly cadres in the village didn't understand why a dog could ask for so much money; many of them complained that there was no mini-program today, and that mini-program wouldn't cost much to make.

"It's not good if such a big dog comes out and scares people."

"Exactly! If it's really useful, just tell Sancheng and borrow it to walk for two days."

"This dog doesn't know any other tricks, and it can be approved for so much money just by walking?"

Communicating with these people is just tedious.

Secretary Xiao Zhu rolled her eyes in her heart.

It's not that they aren't responsible; in fact, there aren't many benefits to being a village cadre now, and there are more rules and regulations, so most of what they can do involves a bit of sentiment.

If it concerns the villagers or is something they find truly useful, they agree quite readily. But once it involves areas they can't understand, they are always nitpicking over small amounts of money.

Why couldn't the mini-program be made? It was because this group of people said there was no sign of it yet, so it wasn't appropriate to spend the money... It's very difficult to spend the money in their public account on anything other than official business.

But in any case!

During the few short days of the May Day holiday, she wouldn't let any opportunity slip by!

"Spending 150 on promotion wouldn't even buy a single shill. But look at the number of likes on this video—this tourist video was posted around nine or ten o'clock, but how many hours has it been now? Five hours!"

Five hours, 80,000 people liked it, and Secretary Xiao Zhu knew them: "Don't you all post on Tremolo too? How many likes do the ones with the most likes have?"

Among the fellow villagers, one middle-aged man grunted: "121..."

They were all liked by fellow villagers; he had filmed a family video about harmony bringing prosperity.

Look at the top comment in the comment section; there are hundreds of people with local IPs saying they are coming to see it tomorrow!

Even if only half of them come, it will be livelier than today.

Although this liveliness cannot bring income to the village office, the villagers' pockets are bulging! As of now, the hundred or so tourists who came today have spent a total of over ten thousand!

Secretary Xiao Zhu didn't force it: "But we are holding a meeting to discuss this; if you really think 150 is expensive, then you don't have to give it—nowadays, a celebrity pet with a few tens of thousands of followers charges thousands or tens of thousands just for a promotion; I'm only taking advantage of the fact that the Song family isn't short of money."

"If you think it's a waste, then forget it."

After this series of moves, what else could the village cadres say?

Secretary Xiao Zhu isn't big, and her official rank is small, but the things she has done for the village in the past two years have been solid. Not to mention anything else, just look at the asphalt road in their village; who doesn't praise her for having connections that reach the heavens!

Everyone was just afraid that the accounts would be hard to explain, but they really didn't mean to stop her. If this money isn't given to Da Wang, could it go into their own pockets?

A mere one hundred and fifty; it's actually not even enough for Da Wang's daily food expenses! As a dog with aspirations, Da Wang is quite sensitive about earning a salary!

If it can earn a salary, its owner will always be able to afford to keep it!

"Woof!" It replied loudly: "Woof, woof, woof!"

Qiao Qiao quickly hugged its neck again: "I knew you were willing! But Secretary Sister said, just once a day is enough; too much is as bad as too little."

A rare card must have the preciousness of a rare card; if it could be seen three, five, seven, or eight times a day, who would cherish it?

"In short!" Qiao Qiao hugged it, vowing: "You are the best! Walking once is enough to make them like you!"
