The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 801: Village Planning

Li Qing had truly learned his lesson from Tang Rou this time, clearly showing that this woman was something special.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qing looked up the local integrated media public account.

With just a casual scroll, Li Qing saw the advertisement Tang Rou had posted. The photo on the homepage merged their village and the barbecue shop’s entrance.

The photo also featured a charming picture of his sister-in-law, occupying the entire bottom right corner.

The photo seemed to have been snapped while his sister-in-law was busy at work, capturing a very natural profile of her.

"Her and the sister-in-law at the village’s shop... this title, at first glance, seems just so, but upon a closer look, it seems to have some stories behind it. Qingzi, this little wife understands men well. Look how she captured the sister-in-law; it’s quite enticing," Wu Xingxing leaned forward excitedly and said.

"Tang Rou indeed has some tricks up her sleeve, this title, after all, made me want to click..." Li Qing said.

Such a suggestive title, coupled with the sister-in-law’s captivating photo, indeed piqued one’s interest to click through.

The main body of the article looked more like a beautifully crafted biographical essay. Tang Rou, from a bystander’s perspective, narrated the story of a barbecue stand, covering the pricing, dishes, accommodation, and all other details from her personal experience.

It felt as if a traveler happened upon this ordinary small village and then wrote this article, which couldn’t be entirely considered an advertisement; it was more like a travel journal about a small mountain village in Tongcheng.

What truly highlighted the narrative were Tang Rou’s final thoughts. She mentioned that in this ordinary village, one could find the warmth of human relationships, the tranquility of the countryside, and those elusive childhood memories.

Stepping here felt like a wanderer returning to their mother’s embrace after years away.

In strangers’ homes, we randomly chose where to stay for the night. The simple villagers would prepare the beddings, warm water for bathing, and a delicious late-night snack.

If you had a good tolerance for alcohol, you could enjoy free late-night snacks and find a stranger to drink with. You could talk freely about each other’s lives and experiences. After a good night’s sleep, you’d say goodbye to the strange hosts, retain these beautiful memories, and set off once again.

After reading the article without missing a word, Li Qing felt only one thing; he wanted to experience this place for himself.

And the article’s readership exceeded twenty thousand. Among these people, quite a few like Li Qing probably shared the same thought.

It was probably them who made the barbecue stand extremely popular.

Tang Rou mentioned that there needed to be enough hooks. In this plain travel narrative, Li Qing didn’t see any obvious gimmicks, but the elements she described were enough to suddenly stir one’s heart, spurring a desire to experience it firsthand.

Li Qing turned off his phone, feeling somewhat touched. No wonder Tang Rou was so confident; her success wasn’t without reason.

"This little wife is really capable, Qingzi. The way she writes... how to put it... it’s very impactful," Wu Xingxing also couldn’t help but admire, "After reading what she wrote, it makes me want to visit our village too."

"That’s her hook. She presents our village from the perspective of a passerby," Li Qing nodded and said, "But her execution is excellent, and our affairs still need improvement."

"Tang Rou’s writing attracts people not because of our barbecue, but because of the story starting with the barbecue and the very important accommodation. We need to further perfect this aspect," Li Qing added.

"How else can we do this?" Wu Xingxing asked, "Isn’t this as far as we can go now?"

"That won’t do. This way is absolutely not okay," Li Qing said thoughtfully, "Call Qin Wenjun and have her gather the villagers. We need to talk to them about this. There are good and bad people in the village, some who are welcoming guests warmly, and others who might see it as an opportunity to make a quick buck. If we don’t standardize this mix, the boom will definitely be short-lived."

"...Okay, I’ll call her."

Wu Xingxing took out his phone and dialed Qin Wenjun’s number, briefly explaining the situation to her over the phone.

Soon, dressed in professional attire with a coat thrown over, Qin Wenjun, striding along with her straight, long legs, ran over from across the street and shouted as she entered, "Qingzi, I’ve notified the people in the village. I see quite a few people chatting here, so let’s gather them here."

Li Qing looked outside the door and nodded.

At this moment, those idly chatting and playing cards in front of the small store actually already accounted for a third to a quarter of the village’s population.

"When did you get back?" After discussing the matter, Qin Wenjun looked Li Qing up and down, bumped him lightly with her hip, and said playfully, "I have some good news for you."

"What kind of day is today, bursting with good news? Tell me about it," Li Qing asked curiously, "It wouldn’t be that you’re pregnant, would it?"

Qin Wenjun rolled her eyes, "You wish. The stuff you’ve got is high in quantity but low in quality. Despite you pouring it in every time, look, have any of us shown any sign? Let me tell you, I’m not considering having kids for the time being. You better be sure what you’re saying is true because if it does happen, you’re screwed."

"As long as you haven’t officially started cultivation and made some progress, rest assured," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Actually, that’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. I’ve sensed Qi," Qin Wenjun said, bursting with excitement.

"Did you really sense it?" Li Qing asked with surprise, as she was the first among his women to achieve this.

Qin Wenjun nodded, "When I was meditating, I could clearly feel its movement. These days, I’ve been trying to let it flow according to the diagram you taught me, but it seems rather difficult, and I haven’t made much progress yet."

"As long as you’ve sensed Qi, you’re considered to have entered the door," Li Qing said excitedly. "Next, let the Qi flow according to the prescribed path and project it externally, and you’ll truly enter the Qi Cultivation Stage. Among the three thresholds of entering the door, you’ve already crossed one, and the remaining two, compared to the first, are actually easier."

"So in my current state, you can’t continue to seed me, right? Could it result in pregnancy?" Qin Wenjun asked.

Li Qing smirked and said, "That’s still far off. You can hold off for now."

"Oh... then tonight, can you pour some in?" Qin Wenjun bit her lip and asked with a hint of seduction in her eyes.
