I saw red lanterns hanging on every household in the village. It was a unique sight under the thick snow and the red lanterns hanging high.

"It's so beautiful." This was the second time Li Yuanlang spoke out of emotion.

"Secretary, we have a custom here. After the first heavy snowfall in winter, every family has to hang up lanterns until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month before taking them off." Yang Sheng said that due to the special geographical location of Hailang Village, lanterns are hung every year.

The snow here is very dense and heavy, and the snow here is sticky and not easy to melt. The snow will not melt completely until the end of March or early April next year. Therefore, the snow days in Hailang Village are very long, so it is necessary to

It takes four to five months.

Li Yuanlang looked around. The sun was setting on the horizon, and the gorgeous red sky blended with the white snow. It was also decorated with red lanterns. It was a wonderful view.

He took out his mobile phone to take several pictures of the sunset, showed them to Yang Sheng and Guo Dingshou, and said, "Look, if you know photography, this is definitely a perfect natural landscape work."

The two of them said it looked good, but in fact they didn't feel anything in their hearts. They saw it every day, so it was no surprise that they had become accustomed to it.

A few people were walking on the narrow path. Li Yuanlang suddenly had a whim. He knew there was a place called Xuexiang. The natural landscape was similar to here. It was named after a certain TV station's program "Where Are You Dad?" and was changed to folk custom.

Tourist attractions immediately became popular.

It's just that the local government departments and ordinary people were short-sighted, resorted to profiteering practices, and repeatedly ripped off customers. The good reputation was suddenly ruined, tourists stopped coming, and the business went from bad to worse.

The problem here is that the government departments have insufficient supervision and only want to collect high taxes but do not want long-term development.

At the beginning, the local people were quite kind, and they warmly received many tourists from the south who came here because of their reputation, and the prices were affordable.

But later, many businesses saw the business opportunities and rented local villagers' houses at high prices and converted them into folk hotels. The tourist season lasted only three months a year, but the rent alone cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Just think about it.

, the cost itself is high, the wool comes from the sheep, it takes nine months to sharpen the knife, and three months to slaughter the sheep, and you still don’t have to cut the meat from tourists.

Now the competent authorities have discovered the problem and are making full efforts to rectify it. In fact, it has changed from secretly rip-off customers to explicit price rip-off. Those who are willing to take the bait, love will come or not.

"Can we also take the path of folk tourism here?" Li Yuanlang was thinking about the feasibility, but did not show it.

The group first went to the village committee and sat down. Yang Sheng mainly reported on the situation in the village. Li Yuanlang took out a small notebook and wrote down everything one by one, and asked what the villagers of Hailang Village were doing in their spare time.

"Alas," Yang Sheng sighed, "What can you do? Go to work in a big city if you are diligent. If you are too lazy, just hang around at home, drink and play mahjong."

This situation is not limited to Hailang Village, but occurs in most villages. Farmers are busy all year round and have nothing to do in winter.

Even if you go out to work, you have no academic qualifications and no skills, and you can only do hard work. If you meet a good boss, you can still settle your wages on time. If you are deceived and delayed in paying wages, you may not get even a cent of your hard work for several months.

Not coming back. Therefore, farmers are the most tired, miserable and difficult.

After chatting with Yang Sheng for a long time, Li Yuanlang felt that Yang Sheng was motivated, but his thinking was old-fashioned. Faced with the current situation where most farmers in the village were idle at home, he had no choice but to think about how to develop a new development model.

It seems that if you want to change the current appearance of Hailang Village, you need a strong leadership team. At this point, Li Yuanlang could feel it when he chatted with Guo Dingshou just now. After all, Guo Dingshou is mature and prudent, with more ideas and maturity than Yang Sheng.

long.

After listening to Yang Sheng's report, Li Yuanlang specifically talked to Guo Dingshou, mainly about the Guo Family Winery.

Compared with Zhang Guorui, Guo Dingshou's attitude towards Li Yuanlang was much more sincere. What he talked about was the estrangement left over from the Guojia Winery in Boutong Town.

After hearing Guo Dingshou's difficulties, Li Yuanlang said: "I have drunk the wine from Guo's winery. It tastes soft and mellow but not overpowering. It is a rare good wine. Now there is too much blended wine. Drinking it will damage your liver and body. Lao Guo, throw it away first.

Putting aside the grievances between your two families, let me first talk about your old man from the Guo family. When he was fifteen years old, he went to a wine shop as an apprentice and worked for his employer for five years. Later, he relied on his intelligence and perseverance.

He secretly learned the secret recipe of wine-making, and later tasted and improved it many times before mastering today's wine-making technology. I heard that he died young because he drank too much. From this point of view, you hope that he will grow old

Will the secret recipe that our ancestors worked so hard to create just be lost?”

Obviously, Li Yuanlang's words caused a big stir in Guo Dingshou's heart. He kept smoking a cigarette without saying a word, and his ears were definitely digesting Li Yuanlang's insights.

Li Yuanlang continued to enlighten on the situation, "The Guo family's legacy is to pass the inheritance from male to female. Although the second-child policy is currently relaxed, there are very few people who have a second child here. If this continues, one day the Guo family will have no successors.

Human, that is to say, there will always be a day when the secret recipe of wine making cannot be passed down. Lao Guo, I think we should contribute the secret recipe, and the government and your Guo family will participate in the construction of the winery. Our township government can

Apply for a loan for you, or contact a partner. We will make this technology bigger and stronger, so that more people will no longer consume blended liquor and taste real grain-based liquor. Do more good deeds and use more kindness.

I think this was also the original intention of Mr. Guo’s family when he created this secret recipe.”

Guo Dingshou lowered his head and took long puffs of cigarettes. After finishing one cigarette, he continued to smoke another, his brows always furrowed, but he remained silent.

"Lao Guo, you are a party member. When you swore an oath under the party, you shouldered a great responsibility. Currently, Hailang Village is still very poor, and the lives of the farmers are still very difficult. I learned from Yang Sheng that during the leisure time, everyone

Spending time at home, doing nothing but drinking and gambling, has worn away everyone’s motivation for self-motivation. I discussed with Guorui that we would like you to be the village party branch secretary. You are an old party member and have been a village cadre before.

Experience, Yang Sheng is young after all, and we need old party members and comrades like you to take the helm and lead everyone on the road to common prosperity together with the village party members and committee members." Li Yuanlang explained sincerely.

"Secretary Li, please stop talking. I understand what you mean. But you have also seen that our village has nothing to develop except mountains and snow. I just want to lead everyone to work together, but I am not able to do it."

.”

Li Yuanlang chuckled: "Lao Guo, you are really holding a cornucopia to beg for food, you haven't seen..." Li Yuanlang took advantage of the heat to answer the question and talk to him about his sudden discovery, that is, whether Hailang Village can be turned into a tourist attraction.

, relying on its own advantages to change the current backward situation.

Mentioning this matter, Guo Dingshou's eyes lit up. Recalling Li Yuanlang's actions, he not only gave a thumbs up in his heart, he was worthy of being the secretary of the party committee and the mayor at such a young age. It is not easy for people to discover business opportunities just by walking by.

.

The two talked for a long time, and Li Yuanlang finally persuaded Guo Dingshou to agree to serve as the secretary of the Hailang Village branch, and would discuss inheriting the brewing technology with the Guo family as soon as possible. As for contributing this recipe, Guo Dingshou could not make the decision alone and needed to discuss it with everyone.

We had dinner at Yang Sheng's "Yang Family Tavern". His tavern is very distinctive, made mainly of wood, and is about 100 square meters in size. This is a mountainous area, and the most important thing is wood.

Source materials locally.

As soon as we came in, the room was quite warm and extremely hot. There were six round tables in total, and the room was spacious.

There were no guests in the room, so Yang Shengli asked Li Yuanlang to sit at the innermost table, while Yang Sheng and Guo Dingshou led the village committee members to sit around Li Yuanlang.

The meal was very sumptuous, and was actually a local specialty, such as pheasant stewed with mushrooms, roasted fungus with green onions, stewed ribs with matsutake mushrooms, goose stewed with potato vermicelli, stir-fried bracken, etc. There were more than ten dishes of all kinds.

Li Yuanlang was also hungry. He ate and drank and ate happily.

During the banquet, Yang Sheng and Guo Dingshou both toasted him. Li Yuanlang knew that he had a good drinking capacity, and the wine tonight was made from pure grains. Drinking it would not have much impact on the body, so he simply relaxed the amount and drank with everyone present.

Raise your glass and drink.

When we were done drinking, a few people came into the tavern. They looked like they were not locals in their clothes, and they spoke with a Beijing flavor.

Listening to what they said, it turned out that these few were photography enthusiasts. They happened to find the beautiful night view of Hailang Village while passing by and took many photos.

When Li Yuanlang saw this, he came over curiously, offered a round of cigarettes, and started chatting with them.

Several people learned that Li Yuanlang was the secretary of the township party committee here and knew that he had authority to speak. One of them, a man named Zhang, said: "Secretary, everything here is good, but there is one thing, there is no hotel to stay in. We will finish our meal in a while

We still have to drive to Yanyoushan Sanatorium, which is dozens of miles away. Not to mention the trouble, it’s not safe yet. It would be great if we had a place to stay. It wouldn’t be too late to stay overnight and then drive on tomorrow.”

"This is easy to handle. I will ask the village director to find a way to make arrangements for you later. It is not safe to travel at night in the dark." Li Yuanlang immediately called Yang Sheng and asked him to find a place for these people to live.

Yang Sheng promised that the village committee would have beds and a big kang, which would be enough for them to live in, so it wouldn't be a problem.

The man surnamed Zhang added: "Secretary, I think if you want to develop the tourism industry, you also need to develop tourism projects. If you look at Xuexiang, there are skiing, horse-drawn sleighs, snowmobiles, watching the sunrise and sunset, and mountain climbing to enjoy the snow scenery.

Wait. Let’s create some folk custom features, such as a bonfire party and dancing yangko. This can attract more people to come and play. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer places with snow, and there are even fewer places with such heavy snow. It is necessary to

Making good use of resources and growing this area will definitely bring the nearby economy to a higher level."

His companion also interjected: "You can send people to other places to learn from experience and conduct on-the-spot inspections. This will help you avoid detours in this field in the future."
