Chapter 576: The Peach Blossom Beauty

“Eldest Auntie, did you say that there’s another group of people who want to go to the mountains to see the flowers?” Xiao Lingyu was getting busier and busier.

Eldest Auntie Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, they are a group of young people. They say that they’re tourists who are on a road trip.”

Ever since Xiao Lingyu’s strawberries became famous all over the country, people had been coming to the Taoyuan Village. Many of them were tourists who traveled by themselves.

Eldest Aunt Xiao said, “They are here for the peach blossoms and pear blossoms on the mountains.”

Xiao Lingyu frowned. “But those are not for viewing. We’ve planted them for their fruits.”

It would be fine if these people went up the mountain to watch. But if they went up the mountain and did all kinds of uncivilized acts to harm the fruit trees, she would not tolerate it.

Eldest Aunt Xiao said, “I’ve reminded them. They said they would pay attention and wouldn’t do anything destructive.” She thought for a moment and continued, “Yu ‘Er, recently, more and more people are coming to the village to view the blossoms.”

Xiao Lingyu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Since I’ve registered a company, and one of the branches is in tourism, perhaps we can consider charging admission tickets?”

Eldest Aunt Xiao was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, “I think that’s not a bad idea.

“The trampling of the soil is already a big problem. So I believe it’s reasonable to charge an admission fee. It would be like the strawberry farm. You’d have to pay to get in.”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “I want to turn our village into a tourism village. I might need to discuss it with the village chief and the villagers.

“However, with regards to the mountains, they belong to our family. We should be able to charge entrance fee directly.”

After she had contracted six mountains, she had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to encircle the six mountains. Unless those adventurers sneaked into the mountains, there were only a few entrances to go up the mountain. Therefore, it would be convenient to set up a booth to charge an admission fee.

Eldest Aunt Xiao thought for a moment and asked, “Yu ‘Er, how much do you think the admission fee should be?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Then let’s charge 30 RMB!”

“30 RMB?” Eldest Aunt Xiao was shocked when she heard this number. She asked in slight surprise, “Yu ‘Er, isn’t that too high?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Aunt, it’s not high at all. We have six mountains and tens of thousands of acres of land. We have planted tens of thousands of tree saplings. At this time, most of the fruit saplings have already bloomed.

“Therefore, other than the peach blossoms, the people can admire the flowers of the other fruit trees. 30 RMB is worth it.

“Furthermore, if we are going to charge for admission, we’ll need to provide some services like hot water, a tourist guide and so on.

“Plus, with the admission fee, people will think more carefully before they do anything stupid like destroying the fruits and flowers.”

Eldest Aunt Xiao thought for a while and said, “Then, should we go and make some tickets or something?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “It’s too late for this batch of guests. Aunt, get Yun ‘Er to go to town and make some tickets. From tomorrow onwards, we will start charging.”

Was she acting greedy? Not really. Xiao Lingyu booked these mountains to plant fruit trees, not for flower viewing.

But now that she had attracted some guests, of course, she had to use them for some commercial purposes.

Eldest Aunt Xiao went to look for Xiao Lingyun, while Xiao Lingyu went to the mountains.

The visitors stood at the door at the foot of the mountain. They were constantly taking pictures on their camera or phone.

These fences were only steel wire fences. Humans and animals were not allowed to enter the mountains to destroy the trees, but people outside could still admire the view.

Xiao Lingyu was wearing a short black coat with a thin white sweater. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and looked very plain.

However, her skin was fair, her facial features were exquisite, and she had an unconcealed temperament. She also had a slight aura of a strong woman. Wherever she went, she would attract the attention of others.

Therefore, when Xiao Lingyu came, those with sharp eyes immediately recognized her.

“Peach Blossom Beauty!” A young man looked at Xiao Lingyu and suddenly exclaimed.

His shout immediately attracted the attention of his peers. Then, they followed his gaze and there were a few more exclamations.

“Wow, she really is a peach blossom beauty!” Someone could not help but exclaim, “I thought that Yang Shu photoshopped a peach blossom beauty to accentuate the beauty of peach blossoms. But the beauty is real!”

“She looks even more beautiful in person than in the photo!”

“Are you sure she is real? Maybe she is a fairy!”

These people kept talking about peach blossom beauty.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village were completely confused.

They couldn’t be blamed for this. Their living standards had improved a little, but that didn’t mean that they had become reckless with their money.

Some of the villagers gritted their teeth and bought old model phones to talk to their children who had moved away to work. However, it was impossible for them to waste money on smartphones.

Then again, even if they did, they wouldn’t know how to use the online feature and so on. Therefore, they didn’t know about the Peach Blossom Beauty.

Zhou Yan, who led the visitors to the mountain, was confused. She asked, “Hey, what do you mean by the Peach Blossom Beauty?”

An Xiaohui took out her phone and swiped it with her fingers. Then, she handed it to Zhou Yan and pointed at a photo. “Here. This is the Peach Blossom Beauty!”

“Ah, isn’t this Lingyu?” Zhou Yan could naturally tell that the woman was Xiao Lingyu. She looked at the photo in the phone and asked in confusion, “How did Lingyu get into the phone?”

Hearing that, a girl next to An Xiaohui said with a smile, “Auntie, this Beauty didn’t get into the phone. Someone took a photo of her and uploaded it to the forum. So, everyone can see it.”

Zhou Yan immediately said embarrassedly, “Oh, I see.”

Xiao Lingyu overheard them, and she walked over to Xiaohui. She asked politely, “Can I take a look?”

An Xiaohui smelled the unique fragrance of flowers on Xiao Lingyu’s body. Perhaps it was because she was in contact with these flowers every day.

Her face couldn’t help but turn red. Then, she handed the phone to Xiao Lingyu and nodded. “Yes, here you are!”

Xiao Lingyu saw herself on the phone.

In this photo, she was also dressed simply. She was holding scissors to trim the peach blossom saplings. She didn’t expect that someone would take a photo of her and post it on the forum.

The villagers didn’t understand the tourism forum but Xiao Lingyu did. This forum was for backpackers and tourists to share their videos and pictures of the places they had visited.

Seeing her picture on the forum, Xiao Lingyu felt a little uncomfortable.

But she did not get angry.

She returned the phone to An Xiaohui and asked calmly, “Can you get the poster to delete this photo? I don’t like to be exposed like this.”

An Xiaohui was stunned at first, but then she reacted and immediately replied, “Okay, I’ll tell him to delete the photo now!”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Thank you!”

A moment later, An Xiaohui looked up from her phone and said to Xiao Lingyu, “I have asked Yang Shu to delete the photo. He has already agreed.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and expressed her gratitude again.

Then, her sharp eyes scanned the surroundings and her clear voice sounded, “I haven’t introduced myself. I’m the farmer of this mountain orchard. My name is Xiao Lingyu.”
