BXBX NOVEL Chapter 780 - Full House
Chapter 780: Full House
The Xiao family had a three-day holiday. Then on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Taoyuan Village was open to the public.
With the improvement of living standards, people sought a higher quality of life. In the past, people spent the new year at home, watching TV and playing cards, or visiting relatives and friends.
Nowadays, many people chose to travel.
Usually, they were busy earning money and didn’t have much time to go out. Now, they wanted to take advantage of the few days of vacation to go out and have a look.
Many rich people chose to travel abroad. Families with average economic standards chose to travel domestically.
In recent years, Taoyuan Village became more and more famous. In particular, Taoyuan Village was famous for its peach blossom forests and natural idyllic scenery.
Last year, the most famous project in the Peach Blossom Village was the peach blossoms in winter. It was said that the peach blossoms in winter had not withered yet.
Therefore, those who did not have time to admire them during the winter wanted to take advantage of the New Year holiday to come to take a look and take a photo.
On the second day of New Year, every family got up early in the morning. They made preparations to welcome the guests.
At the same time, Xiao Lingyu held a simple meeting for the entire village and all the staff. They didn’t know how many guests they would have but based on past experience, the number of visitors this year would only be higher.
Xiao Lingyu requested everyone to be polite, and she also emphasized the importance of security and safety. When there were too many people, the probability of a stampede accident was very high.
In the past two to three years, the number of tourists during the holidays had reached its peak. It became crowded everywhere, causing some tourists to feel irritated and angry. Then, they pushed the tourists next to them. This behavior directly caused all the tourists to feel angry. It created a mob.
One of the tourists accidentally fell, but the tourists around didn’t see him and almost stepped on him. For some reason, the tourists’ movements became much slower, and the tourists who fell quickly climbed up. That was why no further accidents happened.
......
Xiao Lingyu had to come and appease the mob before they dispersed.
From then on, Xiao Lingyu started to restrict the flow of tourists.
When the number of tourists on the farm reached a certain level, they would stop selling tickets. They would wait for a portion of the tourists to come out before putting them in.
This had caused the dissatisfaction and anger of some tourists who had come from afar, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, they had come all the way here, but they could not enter.
Usually, the farm rarely had a full flow of customers. This only happened during holidays, but not all holidays. In the past two years, it had only reached this level during the New Year.
However, as Taoyuan Village’s reputation grew, the business was getting better and better year by year. Therefore, they really had to pay attention to safety. If an accident happened, the reputation of Taoyuan Village would be greatly damaged.
“Pay attention to the situation at all times. Once there are signs of an accident, report it immediately!” Xiao Lingyu said very seriously.
“Yes, CEO Xiao!” Everyone replied in unison.
“Alright, everyone, go and make preparations. Then, the door will open to welcome the arrival of the tourists!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.
After everyone left, Gong Tianhao stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. “Yu ‘Er, you’ve worked hard!”
Xiao Lingyu leaned on him and asked with a smile, “Why are you here? Don’t you want to sleep more?”
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “I can’t sleep without you by my side!”
Xiao Lingyu,”...” her face turned slightly red.
The two of them were an old married couple, but the occasional words of love from Gong Tianhao still made Xiao Lingyu feel embarrassed.
Xiao Lingyu pushed him and said, “Hubby, I’ll be very busy today and don’t have much time to accompany you. Why don’t you spend more time with Grandpa and the others?”
Gong Tianhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “I don’t think they want me around. When I got up, Grandpas and Grandma are already sitting in the courtyard, waiting for the guests to come.”
“...” Xiao Lingyu shook her head gently and said with a helpless smile, “Grandpa and the others just can’t stay idle.”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, the older they are, the more restless they are! Today is the first day of business in Taoyuan Village. I’ve heard that the first day of business in the new year will be very crowded. That’s why Grandpas and Grandma are very concerned and sent me here to assist you.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded.
...
The main gate of Taoyuan Village would be opened at eight o’clock in the morning.
It was only past seven o’clock, and the outside was already filled with tourists. There was a long line at the ticket office.
“What time does this farm open?” A tourist asked with some doubt.
“I saw on the Internet that it’s eight o’clock!” Someone answered his doubts.
“8? I came to line up at six o’clock,” a tourist said. “There are too many people coming here. I don’t want to be late and can’t get a ticket.”
“Can’t get a ticket?!” Someone said in surprise, “Isn’t this too exaggerated?”
“I don’t know if it’s exaggerated or not. After all, I’ve never been here before. In the past, I wanted to come to this farm and taste the various delicacies inside. But because of work, I was too busy and didn’t have the time. Now that the new year has finally arrived and there are a few days of holidays, my family has discussed coming here to take a look. I heard that the village has peach blossoms in winter. It’s really beautiful. It doesn’t seem to have withered yet. We can still take a look.”
“I’m actually here for the delicious food,” another tourist beside him said, “There are all kinds of delicious food. I heard that the secret is the raw ingredients. I’ve been here in the past, and I can’t forget about the food. So, whenever I have time, I’ll come over.” This person was obviously a foodie.
These tourists were lining up in groups. Even though they didn’t know each other, they were still chatting so happily. It was really lively.
The people at the front of the line looked at the long line behind them. They were clearly a little surprised. “Why are there so many people lining up all of a sudden?”
With that, she took out her phone from her bag and looked at the time. It had not even been half an hour since she arrived, and the queue was already endless.
It was her first time here. When she heard that the farm would open at eight o’clock, she was not willing to come so early. However, her friend had dragged her here.
Her friend said, “You don’t know how good the business at the farm is. There are so many people. If we don’t go there early, we will have to queue for more than half a day to buy tickets. Moreover, we don’t even know if there will be any tickets left.”
“Ah?” She said with confusion, “It’s not like we are buying movie tickets. How can there be no tickets? It’s such a big place. Don’t tell me that only a few people are allowed in?”
Her friend glanced at her and said helplessly, “Before you came here, hadn’t you learned anything about Taoyuan Village on the internet?”
She was stunned, shook her head, and said, “No!”
“No wonder!” Her friend rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, “This place is very magical. There are many things that attract tourists. There are many reviews on the internet. They are all positive.”
“Could they be from the 50-cent army?” The person said in disbelief, “After all, this is just a village.”
“...” When her friend heard this, she immediately waved her hand and said, “Fine, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. Seeing is believing. Let’s go. Just in case, let’s go over there and line up earlier. I see that many netizens have chosen to travel to the Taoyuan Village this year.”
She had always thought that her friend was exaggerating, but now that she saw 20 to 30 long lines with no end in sight, coupled with the information about the Taoyuan village that she had found on her phone, she agreed with her friend.
She said to her friend, “What’s so interesting about this farm?”
Her friend said, “I don’t know either. But we’ll know when we go in.”
At 8 o’clock, the ticket office officially opened.
Because it was New Year, the ticket office had a new year gift for tourists.
Each tourist had a new year red packet. Inside the red packet was a coupon that the tourist could spend inside the farm.
After the tourists received the red packet, they were very happy.
The tourists came one after another. Even though there were 25 ticket sales windows, the line only increased. However, the ticket seller still methodically gave the tourists tickets.
As soon as the tourists walked into the farm, they felt that it was much warmer inside than outside.
“I heard from a friend that the farm is warm even in winter. It looks like it’s true.”
“Did you see that? The flowers and trees here are much lush and green than outside. The scenery is really beautiful. It seems that the farm has put in a lot of effort,” Someone praised.
“If they don’t put in a lot of effort, how can they attract tourists?”
“There are so many tourist farms in the country. Why is Taoyuan Village so successful?”
“I heard that many farms want to imitate the model of this farm, but they simply fail at it.”
“Speaking of which, I’ve also gone to other farms to take a look. I only saw some rural characteristics, but I didn’t see anything new, which made me lose interest. So, in the end, I came back here. This place is just magical.”
