Chapter 285 It’s really wonderful

Now the villagers no longer have to worry about farming their own fields, because the village has given them time to farm the land. If the production is not good, they can only blame themselves.

The village chief nodded with satisfaction and began to discuss the story with Lu Yu again, re-examining many details.

During the process of sorting out, they looked for several places where they could leave traces, and planned to find several suitable places in the village to make these traces.

In addition, Lu Yu also suggested that the village should design some game segments based on the story starting from the entrance to increase the tourists' experience and sense of integration.

Not far from the entrance, there will be responsible villagers waiting there, inviting tourists to participate in game challenges. This adds interest to the story and makes the experience less monotonous.

Otherwise, if you just want to walk around the village and see the scenery, you can see the scenery anywhere else, so why go to the Holy Soul Village?

Luo Shen's eyes lit up when she heard this. Even if she just heard these ideas, she felt that they would be very fun. Luo Shen asked curiously, "This is a good idea, but what games can we prepare?"

The village chief also wanted to know, but he didn't dare interrupt Lu Yu's thoughts. He just looked at Lu Yu eagerly. Lu Yu lowered his head and thought, and said to the village chief slowly: "There are many games that can be added."

"…Gray Boy usually has to do a lot of housework, such as cooking, so we can set some different challenging tasks for him to complete."

"Like potato peeling competitions, vegetable washing competitions, etc. In short, these competitions must be combined with the delicacies developed in our village."

"The peeled potatoes can be used to make our delicacies, and the washed vegetables can be sent to the villagers who are making snacks in a timely manner."

"People who come here not only play games and compete, but also do work for us. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the village chief and Luo Shen looked at him with twitching mouth corners. Luo Shen said helplessly: "You guys are too good!"

The village chief also looked at Lu Yu with a hard-to-speak expression: "Although your method sounds a bit hard to describe."

"But don't mention it, this kind of game is simple and easy to operate, and it can also increase the fun of tourists, which is really killing two birds with one stone."

Luo Shen at the side continued to ask: "So what happens after the game is over? If it ends like this, it seems like it will leave people feeling a little unsatisfied..."

Lu Yu nodded: "Of course we have to give some rewards, so that we can form a complete closed loop..."

Hearing this, the village chief frowned slightly. After all, their village was not rich. They did this to make money. If they had to give rewards to tourists, it would be a huge expense. It didn't seem cost-effective...

Before the village chief could speak, Lu Yu took the lead in explaining: "Because it is related to the kitchen, we can ask the villagers to make some simple snacks in advance."

"When we present the prizes to the winners, we can make good use of this resource and describe how delicious this thing is."

"Afterwards, on the road leading out of here, there were people selling this snack if the price was not expensive."

“I believe in people who play the game but don’t get rewarded.”

"There will definitely be people who are very curious and willing to spend a little money to buy and taste it. This will invisibly promote the game for us and increase our income."

At this point, the village chief and Luo Shen were both full of admiration for Lu Yu. Even the village chief's grandmother, who came in later, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this.

She didn't expect that it could be operated in this way. It was really surprising... Lu Yu continued: "Of course, in addition to these, there are many other games to play."

"For example, we can designate an area and hide some small props in it, such as Gray Boy's worn-out hammer, pillows, etc."

“But when placing it, it must be easy to hide, and even if it cannot be hidden, it must appear natural when placed.”

"Make it difficult for people to notice, then set a time and let them go in to search. Those who can find it can also get a reward."

The village chief nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look at it then and ask someone to prepare some snacks here..."

Lu Yu interrupted him quickly: "Grandpa Village Chief, we can't prepare snacks as rewards for this session."

"Before, because it was linked to cooking, it made sense to prepare snacks, but if snacks were given as rewards for every activity."

"It will let those tourists find out our intentions, and there is nothing new about it. Some tourists may not want to participate, which is not good."

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but if we don't send snacks, what else can we send?"

He looked at Lu Yu with an embarrassed look. Lu Yu smiled and said, "Don't we have carpenters in our village? We can ask them to carve some exquisite small pendants."

“The patterns don’t have to be elaborate or complex, and these pendants can be strung on a simple string as a reward.”

"Many women in our village, when they have nothing to do, will weave some bracelets with beautiful patterns and wear them on their hands."

"Now we can let these ladies weave some beautifully designed bracelets and necklaces and sell them not far away."

"We don't force you to buy or sell. But if someone is willing to exchange a rope for that wooden ornament, he will definitely come to us to buy it."

At some point, Luo Shen, the village chief's grandfather, and the village chief's grandmother were already sitting in a row opposite Lu Yu, and no one asked any more questions.

They were afraid of disturbing Lu Yu's thoughts at this moment, so everyone looked at him quietly and listened to him slowly and clearly speak out his ideas and arrangements for the village.

The village chief was writing frantically in his little notebook, fearing that he would miss a word and that the execution would not be as exciting as Lu Yu had imagined.

Lu Yu's thoughts were not over yet. He continued, "...we can also play the activity of looking for the gray boy. We can randomly find a tourist to play the role of the gray boy."

"The others are blindfolded and pretend to be villagers. Now if the villagers want to help the gray boy, they have to find him first."

“You can use the voice prompts of other tourists to search... There are also relay races, quick questions and answers, storytelling, etc.”

“These activities are very simple and fun, they have definitely never seen them before, and they can help them win without any effort.”

“They have a very good sense of participation and experience, and they must like it very much.”

“At the same time, we can win some simple prizes, which can tap into the collective wisdom of our villagers.”

"The cost of hand-made products is not that much anyway, and they can use these rewards to influence other people to spend money after winning the competition."

"It's just too perfect. Of course, it's just like that. We can't let them leave. Finally, we are at the exit of the village."

"We need to set up a bigger store, and the interior decoration must be better, and all the goods sold will be in competition with those in Holy Soul Village."

"There are also products related to Gray Boy... For example, wood carvings. This time we can't just carve simple items."

"On the contrary, the pendant should be made exquisitely and delicately, and it should also be matched with an exquisite chain. Of course, the price of this kind of thing will definitely be a bit more expensive."

"But I believe that with the setting inside, many people will be willing to buy here as a souvenir."

"We can also have the carving masters sit in the shop, and if anyone is willing to buy a carving, the master can also carve their name on the back of the wood carving."

"Including wooden piggy banks, wooden kitchen utensils... etc. No matter which item it is, it will be engraved with the three big characters of our Holy Soul Village."

“It would be best if there was also a picture of our Holy Soul Village. This would be an invisible way to promote our Holy Soul Village.”

This time, Lu Yu didn't need to say anything, Luo Shen and the village chief also figured it out. The village chief took over and said, "Once they take them out, someone will ask them why these pendants are so beautiful."

"What do the three characters of Holy Soul Village mean? We don't need to tell them. The tourists who have been here will introduce them to us."

Hearing this, not to mention the village chief, even the village chief's grandmother couldn't help but applaud and said, "Great, Lu Yu's idea is really great."

"This way, our village won't need to advertise itself, and a large number of people will come here to visit... Lu Yu, what's wrong with your brain?"

"You can actually come up with such a good idea... Oh my god, our Holy Soul Village can develop thanks to Lu Yu."

"Hey, good boy, the village head lady will make you something delicious in a while to replenish your body... No, don't wait any longer."

"I'll kill a chicken now and stew it for you, and then make a fish that you like..."

Having said this, she stood up and walked outside. Lu Yu wanted to say no, but the village chief stroked his beard and praised: "Old woman, you did the right thing."

"Lu Yu has been worrying about our village, so don't let him get too tired. Go and do it quickly."

"Remember to make some other delicious food. Make sure to give Lu Yu a good nourishment!"

When the village head heard this, she hurriedly walked out. Lu Yu looked at their eyes, which were full of hope and joy, and did not refuse them.

I just thought secretly in my heart. I must put more thought into the development of Holy Soul Village. Only when Holy Soul Village is truly developed, can the village chief grandfather feel relieved...

Just like that, after all the details of the matter were discussed, the village chief convened another villagers' meeting in the village the next day. This time he brought forward all the details and plans.

After he said everything one by one and looked at the people below with eyes filled with shock, admiration, joy and expectation, the village chief finally felt relieved - at least he was not the only one with a look of surprise on his face.

After the villagers heard and understood all the rules clearly, the village chief followed Lu Yu's previous words and repeatedly emphasized the importance of honest business operations to all the villagers of Shenghun Village.

"...You all have to remember that our Holy Soul Village needs to develop over a long period of time, so we must not do a one-time deal."

"If I knew about this, someone would discredit our entire Holy Soul Village just for their own greed."

"Because of you, the reputation and development of the entire village has been affected. I'm sorry, but I will definitely kick this person out."

"Let's be clear about this in advance, to avoid the day when I kick you out and you're still reluctant and dissatisfied."

“What I want is for Holy Soul Village to be able to develop in the long term and provide the best education for our future generations.”

"When the soul masters hear that they are going to teach in our Holy Soul Village, they will be willing and happy to come here."

"In the future, they will be our children and will still have to farm. With the blessing of their martial spirits, their crops will definitely be better than those of other villages and other people."

After hearing the village chief's repeated instructions, the people of Shenghun Village also agreed: "The village chief is right. Everything is difficult at the beginning. We must be enthusiastic and thoughtful."

"Yes, when more and more tourists come to play, we will also need to provide enthusiastic service, but we can't let our noses grow to the sky."

"After all, this is the key to whether we can make a lot of money..."

"Yes, and those little brats in our family should not be as useless as us in the future."

With the successful conclusion of this conference, the entire Holy Soul Village entered the stage of repair... Originally, the ground of the Holy Soul Village was pure mud.

Although it is usually very flat, it becomes a bit muddy after the rain, and people's feet are often stuck with mud. There are also puddles of various sizes in uneven places, which is not conducive to tourists coming to experience it - change it!

So the children and the elderly began to pick up stones from the river and the mountains to the best of their ability, while the adults were responsible for paving the roads. With their cooperation, the entire Holy Soul Village gradually became a series of stone-paved paths.

The whole village looked too monotonous and colorless, but it was easy to solve the problem - the women began to take flower seeds and sow them around their own courtyard walls. They also sowed flower seeds on both sides of the roads where there were no houses.

However, before sowing, Lu Yu requested that some places be transformed into colorful seas of flowers, and some places be entire seas of pink flowers, or purple flowers...

In the square of the Holy Soul Village, Lu Yu not only decorated it in a special way, but also found a huge square stone pillar. The stone pillar looked particularly dirty, but Lu Yu did not allow anyone to clean it.

Instead, he added a few more sword strikes on it, making the stone pillar look more dilapidated and adding a sense of age. At the same time, Lu Yu slapped the stone pillar three times in a row, and instantly, three slap marks appeared on the stone pillar, which echoed the ending of the story.
