Chapter 439: Sharing Weal and Woe, the Growth and Transformation of Cuigu Village

The arrival of the first batch of tourists brought new hope and vitality to Cui Gu Village and surrounding villages, but Wang Dashan did not relax.

He knows very well that there are still many problems to be solved if the cooperative tourism zone is to continue to develop.

Early the next morning, Wang Dashan convened a meeting of village cadres from Cuigu Village and Qingshan Village as well as some villagers' representatives.

Everyone sat in the meeting room of Cui Gu Village Office, their faces still showing the excitement of welcoming tourists yesterday.

Wang Dashan cleared his throat and said, "Fellow villagers, our cooperative tourism area welcomed the first batch of tourists yesterday. This is a good start. But we can't be too happy too soon. Through yesterday's situation, I found some problems. We need to discuss how to solve them."

Li Fu continued, "Yes, I also think there are many problems. For example, the reception capacity for tourists is not enough, and some tourists have nowhere to stay."

A village official also nodded and said: "As for catering, although we have some farm dishes, the variety is still too small to meet the needs of tourists."

Everyone talked about the problems they found, and Wang Dashan listened carefully, taking notes in his notebook from time to time.

When everyone had finished speaking, Wang Dashan said, "All the issues raised by everyone are critical. We have to find ways to solve them. For accommodation, I think we can first mobilize the villagers to clean up some rooms in their homes and provide some farmhouse accommodation. For catering, we can organize the women in the village to learn from each other and make more special dishes."

A village representative said worriedly: "Secretary Wang, is it feasible to provide accommodation in farmhouses in terms of hygiene? We have no experience."

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "I've thought about this, too. We can ask the town's health center to teach us about hygiene, how to clean a room, and how to disinfect. As long as we study hard, we'll definitely be able to do it well."

After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone felt that they made sense and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

In the following days, the villagers of Cui Gu Village and Qingshan Village became busy again.

The villagers began to clean up their homes in preparation for welcoming more tourists to stay.

The village also organized cooking training, allowing women who can cook special dishes to teach everyone how to make new dishes.

Wang Dashan ran around and contacted some businesses that sell tourist supplies, hoping to provide more convenience for tourists in the village.

On the way to the county town, Wang Dashan met an old classmate who worked at the county cultural center.

The two started chatting, and Wang Dashan talked about the village's tourism, which the old classmate became very interested in.

An old classmate said, "Dashan, it's a good idea for your village to develop tourism. I think you can organize cultural activities, such as some folk artists' performances, such as paper cutting and shadow puppetry, which will definitely attract tourists."

Wang Dashan's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Oh, that's a great idea! Why didn't I think of it? There are actually a few elderly people in our village who can do paper cutting, and we can also invite artists from outside to perform shadow puppetry."

After returning to the village, Wang Dashan immediately found the elderly people in the village who knew how to paper-cut and said to them: "Grandpas and aunts, our village is now developing tourism. I would like to ask you to show your paper-cutting skills to tourists and let everyone see our craftsmanship."

The elders were very happy to hear this and said, "Sure, Dashan, we also want to contribute to the village."

Wang Dashan also arranged for people to contact shadow puppet artists and invite them to perform in the village.

At the same time, there has been new progress in agricultural product processing.

Wang Dashan found that with the increase in the number of tourists, some tourists have higher requirements for the packaging of agricultural products.

After discussing with the person in charge of the processing plant, he decided to design some exquisite gift packages, package the village's specialty agricultural products, and sell them as tourist souvenirs.

"Our agricultural products are of good quality, and coupled with beautiful packaging, they will definitely attract tourists to buy them."

Wang Dashan said to the workers in the processing plant, "Everyone must ensure the quality and satisfy the tourists."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cui Gu Village's tourism and agricultural product processing industries continue to grow and develop.

More and more tourists come here to appreciate the natural scenery, experience folk culture, taste farm food and buy special agricultural products.

However, just when everything seemed to be going well, a sudden rainstorm hit Cui Valley Village and surrounding areas.

Several days of heavy rain caused the river water to rise, some roads were flooded, and some facilities in the tourist area were damaged.

Wang Dashan was extremely anxious, and he immediately organized the villagers to carry out flood prevention and disaster relief work.

He led the young men to block the river with sandbags to prevent the flood from rushing into the village.

"Fellow villagers, we can't let the flood ruin our efforts! Come on, everyone, pile up the sandbags!"

Wang Dashan shouted loudly in the rain. The rain soaked his clothes, but he didn't care at all.

Xiulan also brought other women from the village to deliver hot soup and food to the people fighting the flood.

"Dashan, everyone is exhausted. Let's drink some soup and eat something before we continue working."

Xiulan said with concern.

Wang Dashan took the soup, took a sip, and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, eat something first to replenish your energy, and then we can continue working!"

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the villagers worked together and finally blocked the flood.

But the damage to the tourist area was still considerable, with some observation decks destroyed and paths in the woods flooded.

After the flood receded, Wang Dashan immediately organized the villagers to carry out reconstruction work.

"Fellow villagers, although the flood has caused us losses, we must not lose heart. Let us work together to restore the tourist area and make it even better!"

The villagers responded to Wang Dashan's call and began to clean up the ruins and repair the damaged facilities.

With everyone's joint efforts, the tourist area has gradually regained its vitality.

After this test, the villagers of Cuigu Village became more united, and Wang Dashan became more determined to lead everyone towards prosperity.

On an evening with the sky filled with sunset glow, Wang Dashan stood on a high place in the village, looking at the beautiful Cui Gu Village and the busy villagers, his heart filled with emotion.

Xiulan walked up to him and said, "Dashan, it's not easy for our village to be what it is today."

Wang Dashan held Xiulan's hand and said, "Yes, it's not easy. But as long as we are united, no difficulty can stop us. I believe that the future of Cuigu Village will be even better."

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, reflecting their determined figures.

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cui Gu Village continues to forge ahead on the road of development, constantly growing and transforming, and writing their own glorious chapter.
