Chapter 381: Pioneering and Enterprising Encountering New Opportunities

The homestay business in Cuigu Village is booming, but Wang Dashan is not satisfied with it and has turned his attention to a new direction.

On this day, Wang Dashan was patrolling the village, watching the tourists coming and going, and thinking about the future development of the village.

When he passed by the village primary school, he heard the sound of children reading in the classroom. It suddenly occurred to him that tourists nowadays pay great attention to cultural experience. Could he use the village school to show tourists some characteristics of rural education?

Wang Dashan walked into the school and found the principal, Lao Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, I have an idea. You see, more and more tourists are coming to our village now, and they are all very interested in our rural things. Can our school show tourists some of the characteristics of our rural education without affecting the children's normal classes, such as teaching children to write calligraphy and do handicrafts?"

Principal Zhang was a little hesitant: "Dashan, the idea is good, but the children's courses are very tight, and the teachers are usually busy. I'm afraid they can't spare the time to do this."

Wang Dashan patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhang, I know it's difficult. But we can think of a way. We can choose some spare time and let the teachers organize the children to prepare some simple display projects, such as writing calligraphy and paper cutting. This will not only not delay the children's studies, but also allow tourists to experience the characteristics of our rural education and give the children more practical opportunities. What do you think?"

Principal Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Well, now that you put it that way, it seems feasible. I'll go back and discuss it with the teachers."

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Okay, you can discuss it with the teachers. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I think if this thing succeeds, it will add fuel to the tourism of our village."

After leaving school, Wang Dashan came to the village's organic farmland again.

Looking at the green crops, he thought of a new tourism project - agricultural science experience.

He found Lao Li, who was in charge of agricultural production in the village, and said, "Lao Li, you see, many people who come to our village to travel are interested in our organic agriculture, but most of them don't know much about agriculture. Can we set up an agricultural science area in the fields to explain organic agriculture to tourists and let them experience farming and watering?"

Old Li scratched his head and said, "Dashan, this is not difficult. It just takes some time and effort to prepare. And someone has to explain it to the tourists, and it's not easy to find someone to explain it."

Wang Dashan thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure out how to explain it. Let's first plan out the site for the popular science area, prepare some simple farm tools, and make some signs introducing organic farming knowledge. I'll find a few young people who know about agriculture and have them explain it to the tourists."

Lao Li nodded: "Okay, then I'll get the venue ready first."

After returning home, Wang Dashan did not take time to rest, but began to think about the specific details of the agricultural science experience.

He thought about preparing some easy-to-understand explanatory materials and designing some interesting interactive sessions so that tourists can learn knowledge and have fun at the same time.

The next day, Wang Dashan gathered several young people in the village and talked to them about the agricultural science experience.

"Xiao Hu, you like reading books and know a little about agriculture. How about you be responsible for explaining organic agriculture to tourists?"

Wang Dashan looked at Xiaohu and said.

Xiaohu hesitated a little: "Uncle Dashan, I'm afraid I can't explain it well."

Wang Dashan encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, I will find some information for you. You can take a good look at it and familiarize yourself with the content. When I explain it, just tell the tourists what you know in simple words."

Xiaohu nodded: "Okay, Uncle Dashan, I'll try."

Wang Dashan said to the other young people, "You will be responsible for taking the tourists to experience farm work, teaching them how to plant and water the land, so that they can feel the hard work and fun of us farmers."

Everyone expressed their willingness to give it a try.

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the agricultural science experience project was soon ready.

Next to the organic farmland in the village, there are rows of signs introducing organic farming knowledge and various farm tools on display.

Xiaohu and several other young people also went through several days of training and have gained a certain grasp of the explanation and guidance work.

The project attracted many tourists on the first day of its opening.

"Wow, so this is what organic farming is like. I only knew about eating organic vegetables before, but I didn't know it was so difficult to grow them."

A tourist looked at the introduction on the sign and said with emotion.

Xiaohu explained earnestly, "Yes, organic farming cannot use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It relies entirely on natural fertilizers and manual weeding, so the yield may be lower, but the quality is definitely good."

The tourists nodded to show that they understood.

Then, Xiaohu and other young people took the tourists to the farmland and taught them how to use farm tools, how to sow seeds and water the crops.

The tourists were all very excited and tried their hand at it.

"Oh, this kind of land looks simple, but it's really not easy to make."

A tourist was tired and sweating, but his face was full of smiles.

Wang Dashan watched from the side and was also very happy.

He knew that this was just another small step in the development of Cui Gu Village and there was still a long way to go in the future.

However, with the development of agricultural science experience projects, some problems have also emerged.

For example, some tourists were unfamiliar with farm work and accidentally damaged the crops; some tourists did not pay attention to safety during the experience and almost had accidents.

Wang Dashan realized that it was necessary to strengthen the management and guidance of tourists.

He called a meeting of the villagers again.

"Fellow villagers, our agricultural science experience project is going well and tourists like it very much. But now there are some problems. Some tourists accidentally damage crops, and there are also safety issues. We have to find ways to solve these problems."

Wang Dashan said seriously.

A villager said: "Dashan, how about we put up more warning signs in the farmland to remind tourists to pay attention to safety and not to damage the crops?"

Wang Dashan nodded: "That's one way. In addition, when we take tourists to experience it, we should remind them more often, teach them the correct methods, and ensure their safety."

Everyone agreed.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan and the villagers set up many warning signs in the farmland. They also conducted further training for the young people responsible for leading the tourists' experience, emphasizing the importance of safety and management.

With everyone's joint efforts, the agricultural science experience project has become more and more perfect, and tourists' experience has become better and better.

The reputation of Cui Gu Village is growing, attracting more tourists.

With the increase in tourists, the sales of agricultural products in the village have also increased significantly.

Wang Dashan came up with another idea. He decided to hold an agricultural product fair in the village to display and sell the village’s walnuts, organic vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products, so that tourists can more conveniently buy authentic Cuigu Village agricultural products.

Wang Dashan found several large growers and walnut processing factory managers in the village and said, "Our village's agricultural products are so good, and tourists like them very much. I want to hold an agricultural product exhibition to display our products so that tourists can buy them more conveniently. What do you think?"

Everyone thought this was a good idea, but some people expressed concerns: "Dashan, we need a venue to hold a trade fair. Where is the suitable venue in our village?"

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "We can make use of the threshing ground in the village. We can decorate the threshing ground, set up a few exhibition stands, put our agricultural products on them, and prepare some samples for tasting. This will definitely attract a lot of tourists."

After hearing this, everyone thought it was feasible.

So, Wang Dashan started to get busy again, organizing the villagers to set up the venue for the exhibition and prepare agricultural product samples.

Thanks to Wang Dashan's efforts, the agricultural products exhibition opened smoothly.

The booths were filled with all kinds of agricultural products, and visitors gathered around to taste the delicious agricultural products and pick out what they liked.

"This walnut is really delicious, fragrant and crispy."

A tourist said while eating walnuts.

"Yes, and these organic vegetables look fresh."

Another tourist echoed.

Wang Dashan looked at the lively trade fair scene and felt a sense of accomplishment.

He knew that Cui Gu Village had taken another solid step on the road to development.
