Chapter 97

With the opening of the scenic area and extensive media promotion, the Ancient Tomb Scenic Area quickly became a hit. Advertisements for the scenic area were everywhere, and the number of visitors gradually increased. The scenic area also collaborated with many travel agencies, and large tour groups began to visit the area.

As the number of visitors increased, the benefits became evident. The income of Wangjia Village significantly increased, and many tourists would visit the village, buying some agricultural products to take home.

However, there were also drawbacks. With more people came more chaos. All kinds of people, from all walks of life, began to show up, and several incidents of group disturbances occurred. Fortunately, they were stopped in time, or it would have been unclear who would be held responsible.

None of this concerned Lin Xiao, and no one came to cause trouble at his place. Lin Xiao spent his days at home, eating peaches, reading books, and taking his dog for a walk when he was bored. He lived a carefree and leisurely life, and if he had a young maid to serve him, it would be like living the life of a landlord.

Days passed, and with the increasing number of visitors, some astute individuals saw business opportunities. Suddenly, several small restaurants opened in Wangjia Village, specializing in wild game. They were always packed, and the owners were so happy they almost couldn't stop smiling.

This also spurred the growth of the hunting industry. With the consumption of wild game, the stock that Wangjia Village had accumulated over the years was almost depleted during this period.

Therefore, many people went into the mountains to hunt, and the wild game in the mountains suffered.

Although the villagers were skilled hunters, the consumption rate was always faster than the harvest rate, which was undeniable.

Another day passed, and Lin Xiao lived a life envied by others, eating and sleeping all day without the risk of being slaughtered.

"Who is it?" Lin Xiao's phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he lazily answered.

"Huang Tao."

"Is there another problem?"

"It's good news. The construction of the farm is finally complete." Huang Tao brought Lin Xiao some good news.

"Really? I need to go and see it." Lin Xiao jumped up from his recliner.

"I'll wait for you at the farm." Huang Tao said.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

...

Lin Xiao drove to the farm entrance, got out of the car, and walked directly to the farm.

"Sir, do you know when this farm will open?" A man's voice suddenly came from beside Lin Xiao.

"Are you asking me?" Lin Xiao looked around, and it seemed there was no one else nearby.

"Yes."

Lin Xiao turned his head and saw a young man about his age, who looked energetic. A beautiful young woman was with him, and they seemed to be a couple on a trip.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know either."

"Really! I thought you knew. You seemed to be in a hurry, and I thought you were a staff member of the farm. Sorry to bother you." The young man stopped asking when he saw that Lin Xiao didn't know.

'Am I that much like a staff member? I'm the boss, not a staff member.' Lin Xiao rolled his eyes inwardly.

After this small interruption, Lin Xiao walked directly into the farm. Along the way, he saw many tourists cooling off there, and some had already entered the maze he built last time to play.

Under the shade of the trees, groups of men and women were chatting and laughing. A picnic blanket was spread on the ground, filled with food, clearly indicating a picnic.

During this time, Lin Xiao also took a tour. Several pavilions were occupied, and people were wandering around the farm in small groups.

Lin Xiao was pleased to see the high number of visitors, even though the farm was not yet open. He smiled and walked towards the restaurant. From a distance, Lin Xiao saw the appearance of the restaurant, which was even more beautiful than he had imagined. Two large stone lions stood at the entrance, exuding a grand presence. The exquisite wooden doors and wall carvings attracted everyone's attention, and the red beams and black roof gave it a strong Chinese flavor.

Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with the exterior and quickened his pace to enter the restaurant.

Many tourists were also paying attention to the restaurant, gathering and pointing at it. Lin Xiao listened carefully to what they were saying.

"Who is so extravagant, making a restaurant look so good? The cost must have been high."

"You don't understand. They are pursuing an artistic atmosphere. Look at the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear water, with a Chinese classical restaurant in the middle. Doesn't it stand out?"

"You're just exaggerating. It's all about making money. With the scenic area here, they will make a fortune. Making it look good raises the class, and when you go in, they'll strip you of your money."

... A bunch of comments, both positive and negative, reached Lin Xiao's ears. He smiled slightly, not taking it to heart, and walked into the restaurant.

"Hey, big shot, we finally got you here." Huang Tao teased as soon as Lin Xiao stepped into the restaurant.

"Alright, who's the boss here, you or me? How dare you tease me." Lin Xiao immediately countered.

"You are, I'm sorry." Huang Tao said with a smile.

Lin Xiao examined the interior of the restaurant with his eyes. 'Hmm, it basically meets my requirements.' Lin Xiao thought.

The interior was decorated in warm tones, complemented by red Eight Immortals tables, which didn't look out of place. Everything was done according to Lin Xiao's ideas. The restaurant had eight screens, arranged in an orderly manner, perfectly blending into the overall layout.

"Nice, I'm very satisfied." Lin Xiao said after looking around.

"When will it open?" Huang Tao asked, eager to get started. He was frustrated seeing so many people every day but not being able to serve them.

"That depends on Dazhuang. Otherwise, even if we open, we won't have any ingredients." Lin Xiao said with a smile, understanding Huang Tao's thoughts.

"Wait, I'll get Dazhuang right away." Huang Tao said and immediately sprinted off.

"Dazhuang is here." Out of breath, Huang Tao dragged Dazhuang over in just a few minutes.

Dazhuang was still puzzled. Huang Tao hadn't said anything, just pulled him over.

"Dazhuang, how's everything going on your end?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Pretty good. Because we prepared well, we started planting before the farm was built, and now it's almost ready." Dazhuang scratched his head and said.

During this period, Dazhuang had been working on the fields every day, plowing, planting, and weeding. Although there were machines, planting and weeding still required manual labor. After a while, Dazhuang had become even darker.

"What about the chicken and duck coops?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"The coops were built later, so it will take some time to get good chickens and ducks." Dazhuang answered honestly.

"Alright, Huang Tao, you'll need to work a bit harder. Go to the market to buy chickens and ducks to get through this period. I'll transfer the money to your account." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said.
