Farming Space Makes Me Rich (3)

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.
