Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 204 Spring Outing

While Xia Shiyu was thinking about dealing with the rice seeds and the rapeseed harvest at home, the village chief came to visit.

Xia Lihua was quite surprised to see the village chief approaching and quickly invited him in.

"Uncle, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

The village chief walked in with a smile, sat down, and took a sip of water.

After finishing his drink, he looked around and couldn't find Xia Shiyu, so he asked, "Where's Xiaoyu? Why isn't she here? Could you call her back? I need to talk to her."

"Oh, you mean Xiaoyu? She just went up the mountain and hasn't been gone long. I'll call her back."

After saying that, Xia Lihua took out his phone and called Xia Shiyu.

"Xiao Yu, come back soon! The village chief says he needs to see you."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Xia Shiyu hadn't expected that she would need to talk to her about something, so she immediately turned the car around and went home.

When I got home, I saw the village chief sitting in his seat, so I went over and asked, "Uncle, what brings you here today?"

The village chief looked at her with a beaming smile, "Xiao Yu is here. Please have a seat and I'll tell you everything."

He was increasingly pleased with Xia Shiyu. What a capable boy! Since returning to contract land, not only had the village's vacant land been utilized, but he had also provided jobs for the villagers.

Most importantly, the vegetables this child grows are delicious. He has eaten the vegetables that Xia Shiyu's family sent him a few times, and later he started to buy them himself. It's not just his family who loves to eat them.

This visit is also thanks to Xia Shiyu for giving their village this opportunity.

"Spring outing?" Xia Shiyu was stunned. He had never imagined that these two words could be related to their village.

After all, spring outings usually involve visiting scenic spots and beautiful places.

To be honest, there's nothing special about the scenery here; it's just some common trees and land, and even the village's sanitation isn't particularly good.

Even Xia Lihua and the others found it strange. Spring outings are supposed to be for tourism, and they had never seen anyone travel to their dilapidated little village.

Perhaps sensing their confusion, the village chief coughed and began to say, "Our village has indeed never received such an event before, but in retrospect, we owe it all to Xiaoyu."

Xiajia Village never received this kind of treatment before. Not to mention them, even the neighboring villages didn't have it. Only Daping Village, which is a little further away and at a higher altitude, does have tourists. Because of its higher altitude, it snows in winter, and most people go there to see the snow scenery.

As for the fact that not many people are willing to go there normally, it's even more so here, as there's nothing special about the scenery.

"Why is it all thanks to me? I didn't do anything. You couldn't have come here just to eat, could you?"

Xia Shiyu fell silent as she spoke. Could it really be that she came for the food? But thinking about it, it's not impossible, since most of them are foodies.

The village chief laughed heartily, "That's right, you've hit the nail on the head. These people really are here for a meal."

Xia Shiyu sighed helplessly, "Well, that's not surprising. If you're just a tourist coming here for a meal, you might as well take a look."

The village chief nodded, "That's right, and it's the season for rapeseed flowers to bloom now. It's nice for them to come and see the rapeseed flowers and breathe some fresh air. Our air is good here."

He gave a detailed account of the spring outing.

It turns out that Xia Shiyu's dishes have become quite famous in the surrounding area. Some organizations were organizing team building activities but hadn't decided on a location yet. However, someone immediately thought of Xia Shiyu's village.

When the idea was brought up, everyone thought about the delicious food they would get, and after careful consideration, they all agreed that it sounded good. Since they were just going to wander around anyway, they figured they might as well come here.

That's why some people came to the village chief to discuss visiting their village, not staying overnight, but just coming and leaving on the same day, since it would be convenient for those with cars.

The village chief thought about it and it was indeed a good idea. Coming to their village would help them gain some fame and make some money. Even if most villagers might not make any, it wouldn't be a bad thing to give it all to Xia Shiyu. After all, Xia Shiyu would always have the villagers do farm work when he contracted land in the village.

He was happy that the villagers also benefited.

So he readily agreed and is now going to explain the situation to Xia Shiyu.

"They're mainly coming to this village to check on your house and the land you've contracted, so you don't need to worry too much. Just be careful, though, since there are a lot of people around."

"Village Chief Xing, these are nothing."

Xia Shiyu has basically fenced off all the land where she grows vegetables, just to prevent people from sneaking in and stealing. Also, her family will be watching over her; her eyesight is excellent now, so if someone were to steal, she would easily catch them.

"Okay, just keep it in mind. But there's still one more question: is your family willing to provide meals? Of course, we'll pay for the meals."

The village chief explained the situation again. After all, people who come here for a spring outing will definitely need to eat lunch. As for the dishes, it goes without saying that they will all be Xia family dishes. As for who will cook them, the village chief suggested that if Xia Shiyu finds it troublesome, she can ask other people in the village to cook them and then buy the ingredients from them.

Xia Shiyu hadn't expected this. She glanced at her grandmother and mother, who seemed somewhat interested, and asked, "So, how many people will there be tomorrow?"

"I'll see tomorrow. There might be more than 20 people, plus the children. I don't know how many people they will bring."

When Xia Shiyu heard that there were quite a few people, but it was about the same as the usual number of workers she hired, and she could earn some money on the side, she agreed.

"Okay, then I'll have my family cook it. I'll hire two more people to help my mom and the others, and then we'll have the food ready."

After the village chief finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit. I've made things clear to you all. I'll head back now."

Xia Shiyu also stood up and first pulled the village chief, "Village chief, we just picked a bunch of diced cold vegetables. You can take them home and eat them. Tomorrow, we'll ask my aunt to come over and help us cook. You can come and eat with us too."

Xia Shiyu could also see that despite the village chief's busy work, their family was actually the biggest beneficiary, and they should at least express their gratitude.

The village chief accepted the large handful of diced vegetables; he genuinely liked them and didn't refuse.

"No need for meals, I'll ask Xiulan to come and help tomorrow."

After saying that, he went out happily. After the village chief left, Xia Shiyu simply took his family to bring back some vegetables so they could serve guests tomorrow.
