Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 328 Roasting the Rhubarb Popularity at Scenic Spots

Xu Yue was stunned when he saw it, let alone the other tourists.

It was so explosive.

Three giant pandas appeared at the fishing spot, guarded by three local dogs holding a basin. They would take photos with the pandas if you paid them.

The key point is that there are actually people who are paying for it, and quite a lot of it at that.

How did they find out?
"Wang Wang!"

Another tourist put down money, ready to take a photo with the panda, but was stopped by Da Huang.

"Give me a dollar and I'll take a picture with you."

"Are you taking advantage of the fact that it's a dog that doesn't know money? It's a real big shot."

"This dog is incredibly intelligent."

"Didn't you come here a few days ago biting that bowl and pretending to be pitiful, begging for money? Now you've brought three giant pandas here to make money."

"I've never seen such a smart dog."

"The key is that those three pandas actually cooperated so well!"

This is ridiculous.
Whether it's Dahuang or the three pandas, they are all very famous in Taoyuan Village.

The villagers have gotten used to it, and so have the regular tourists.

This may explain why tourists are not afraid of Dahuang and Dabao.

And they love to tease them.

Xu Yue strongly suspected that the tourists had taught Da Huang, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hua to beg for money while biting the iron basin.

It's also possible that someone in the village taught them.

As for this time?

Xu Yue looked at Tian Yizhi.

"I didn't teach them that."

Tian Yizhi seemed to understand the meaning in Xu Yue's eyes and quickly explained.

"Why don't you ask Boss Shuai?" Tian Yizhi said with a smile. "He's been trying to trick those three giant pandas into going to the neighboring village. He can't trick Da Bao and the others, but he might be able to trick Da Huang."

You can't fool three pandas because they don't understand.

But rhubarb is different.

It seems to truly understand human speech.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I heard you saying bad things about me."

Shuai Ming seemed to have also rushed over and happened to overhear Tian Yizhi's words.

To stir up trouble?
That's not the case.

The two actually have a pretty good relationship.

"I'm not saying this to badmouth you, I'm trying to help you," Tian Yizhi said. "Isn't it supposed to be opening soon over there?"

"This can indeed attract traffic."

Shuai Ming looked ahead, his eyes shining.

“Attracting tourists doesn’t necessarily require going to Qinghe Village,” Tian Yizhi said. “The two villages are connected, and now that a road has been built, wouldn’t tourists from other places take a stroll in the mountains?”

The scenery in Taoyuan Village is actually quite nice.

Especially in March and April, when peach blossoms and other fruit trees are in full bloom.

Moreover, there are various flowers here all year round.

Four Seasons Flower Mountain is still quite famous.

"Wang!"

Da Huang saw that the tourist took out money and put it in the basin before letting her go over for a photo.

Then he saw Xu Yue in the crowd. His expression changed, and he grabbed the iron basin and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"If you run again, I'll break your legs!"

Just as the tourists were wondering what was going on, Xu Yue's voice rang out.

Dahuang immediately stopped, then, biting the iron basin and its tail, fawned over Xu Yue.

"Give it to me?" Xu Yue looked at his expression and then said, "Do I look like someone who needs your little bit of money? I'll deal with you later!"

As Xu Yue spoke, he tapped Big Yellow on the head and then walked over to the three giant pandas.

What are you two standing there for?

Xu Yue looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua and said in an annoyed tone.

These two dogs are now big and mighty, but they follow Big Yellow around every day, just like their little brother, and have done a lot of silly things.

The only saving grace is that they don't bite.

Neither villagers nor tourists are afraid of them.

Some of the bolder tourists even managed to pet their dogs' heads.

Although Da Huang and the others are mongrels, their fur is very smooth, and Xu Yue's family often bathes them. They seem to be quite clean themselves, probably more so than those pet dogs.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua immediately wagged their tails and came forward, fawning over Xu Yue.

Let's take a group photo first!

Seeing that the female tourist who gave him the money was a little confused, Xu Yue then spoke up.

"Mr. Xu, are you taking them back? There are still so many people who haven't taken a photo yet!"

Someone recognized Xu Yue and said with a smile.

“There are too many people, and it’s already congested. It would be bad if it caused any safety hazards,” Xu Yue said. “If you want to take a picture with Da Bao and the others, you can find another opportunity. They basically don’t leave the village.”

"Dabao, why aren't you taking them back home!"

As Xu Yue spoke, he called out to Da Bao again.

Da Bao glanced at Xu Yue, then got up and swayed as he led Er Bao and Xiao Bao away.

"You're national treasures, and you got fooled by a stray dog? Aren't you ashamed?!"

As Da Bao walked up to him, Xu Yue couldn't help but scold him.

I'm so disappointed in you.

The three giant pandas are becoming increasingly intelligent, but they can't compare to Da Huang.

Dahuang is now showing signs of becoming somewhat cunning.

While not as intelligent as a human, it still possesses the intelligence of someone who is a few years old and still experiences pain.

Many people think this way.

"Where's Rhubarb?"

Xu Yue glanced around but couldn't see Da Huang, so he couldn't help but ask.

"He ran over there with that bowl in his mouth," Tian Yizhi laughed. "He's probably going to trade it for food at the farmhouse again. Oh, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua went with him too."

Xu Yue's lips twitched, then he looked at the giant panda next to him and couldn't help but tap Da Bao on the head.

"Dahuang and the others can use money to buy meat, but what about you?" Xu Yue said. "Isn't there enough bamboo on the mountain for you to eat?"

Three stray dogs took the money and exchanged it for food, and quite a few people followed them to watch.

The three giant pandas left, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

However, there is still a lot of discussion about it.

"Who is that person? And those three giant pandas actually listen to him?"

"Those three dogs also obey him, so he must be the owner of those three dogs."

"Don't you all know Mr. Xu? He's the owner of Taoyuan Farm and Taoyuan Agricultural Trade Center, as well as this fishing pond and Four Seasons Flower Mountain."

"That dog definitely belongs to them. It's so intelligent, it's like it's become a spirit."

"Did he also raise those three giant pandas?"

"How could a giant panda be privately owned? However, it's true that the giant panda lives in his house."

"It's not that they're staying at his house, it's that they're refusing to leave, and even the Forestry Bureau can't do anything about it."

"It's not really wrong to say that he raised them. The Forestry Bureau didn't take care of the food for those three giant pandas; it was all paid for by Mr. Xu himself. The workers who feed the pandas are all from his family."

"What are you thinking about?"

Tian Yizhi walked up to Shuai Ming and asked him with a smile.

Shuai Ming smiled, but did not answer.

"You're still thinking of using Dahuang and the others to attract customers?" Tian Yizhi said. "Actually, you don't need to worry about the customer base."

"It's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes," Shuai Ming said. "You may not feel any pressure, but I'm under a lot of pressure."

"What pressure?" Tian Yizhi said, "Afraid of not making money? When our boss first developed the scenic area, he never even thought about making money."

"It doesn't matter if the boss has money, but I want to make money!" Shuai Ming said. "I've worked so hard for so long, I can't let it all go to waste!"

Tian Yi smiled, indicating his understanding.

He receives an annual salary, not profit sharing.

After all, the farm's profits are simply too incredible.

He didn't play much of a role; he just managed things.

This is clearly different from a handsome name.

He never expected to receive any bonuses like Shuai Ming. He was quite satisfied with his current treatment.

When I first arrived, my annual salary was only 300,000 yuan, but now, in such a short time, it's already 5 million yuan.

With other things added, it's increased almost twentyfold.

And wages are about to increase again.

Why did Tian Yizhi receive such a high salary increase?
Nowadays, farm managers earn over 10,000 yuan a month, and those like Xu Wei, who live on the desert, earn even more.

That adds up to an annual salary of around 200,000.

Surely Tian Yizhi isn't still only earning an annual salary of 300,000?

He also manages fishing grounds, agritainment facilities, and bed and breakfasts, as well as a winery, a mineral water plant, and an environmental protection company.
With the farm expanding, wages naturally kept rising.

If it weren't for the difficulty in calculating the farm's profits, and the fact that ginseng cultivation was also included in the farm's profits, Xu Yue wouldn't even mind giving him a share of the profits.

Of course, the main reason for not giving dividends is that the farm is different from the scenic area.

"Don't worry, once the scenic area opens, it won't be packed, but there definitely won't be a shortage of visitors," Tian Yizhi said. "Haven't you done a pretty good job with your promotion?"

Shuai Ming still has a base salary.

However, if that base salary makes up the majority of the salary, then even the title of "handsome man" would be embarrassing to retain, because it would prove that business is not good.

The farm doesn't need advertising, and neither do the flower fields and guesthouses here.

They're quite popular online now.

Especially since Da Huang asked for money to buy meat last time, and now he's selling panda photos, the internet is probably in an uproar.

“Dahuang has always been very popular online,” Tian Yizhi said. “The boss’s old short video account has now surpassed five million followers, and that’s without much effort on his part.”

I've heard of that number and the handsome name.

If Xu Yue hadn't wanted to be an internet celebrity, he probably would have become a huge star long ago.

The development of the scenic area was largely due to Xu Yue's fishing video making Qinglongtan famous. The authorities felt it had development value and then approached Xu Yue.

Xu Yue then brought along Wang Haolin and others.

"You mean we can use rhubarb to promote the scenic area?"

Shuai Ming frowned, looking somewhat hesitant.

Instead of having Da Huang do the advertising, you might as well go find your own boss's celebrity aunt.

Although Wang Yurou got married and retired, her popularity will definitely not dissipate so quickly.

Her current popularity and influence are definitely not low.

“Let Big Yellow go for a stroll in the mountains, and we’ll promote the scenic area while we’re at it,” Tian Yizhi said. “Whether there are any good opportunities or not, we might as well give it a shot. Besides, today’s incident has gone viral online, so it’s quite popular now.”

Shuai Ming nodded.

To put it bluntly, they're just riding on the coattails of Huang Lei's popularity.

But this level of popularity seems pretty good!

"But how can we get Big Yellow to go for a walk in the mountains?" Shuai Ming asked. "Should we ask the boss?"

“It would be better to find his third uncle, Xu Jianghe,” Tian Yizhi said. “Dahuang is closer to Xu Jianghe.”

Everyone in the village knows about this.

After Xu Jianghe returned to the village, Da Huang followed him around.

Then came Little Flower and Little Black.

Tian Yizhi had heard Xu Yue complain about it, and even joked that he didn't get the treatment of a protagonist.

Big Yellow has fallen for someone else.

If it were a woman, this plot would be criticized even in online novels.

Xu Yue then took Da Bao and the three pandas back with him.

Many tourists followed and took photos.

That's the charm of giant pandas.

Xu Yue drove here, but walked back.

The tourists followed for a while, but by the time they returned to the villa, everyone had already left.

"Did Dahuang bring it over?"

When Zhang Ruoxi saw Xu Yue return, she casually asked him a question.

Because Da Bao and the other two usually don't go there.

They wouldn't even venture too far from the villa; at most, they'd go to Zhushan to find something to eat.

“Guess what I saw over there?” Xu Yue said. “That guy Dahuang was holding an iron basin and guarding in front of the three of them. Tourists would pay him to take pictures with them.”

"What?"

Zhang Ruoxi was a little confused when she heard this.

She could still imagine Dahuang running over there with an iron basin, pretending to be pitiful and begging for money.

But this time it's a bit outrageous!

It actually started a business?
“Those tourists are really bold; they actually gave it to us,” Xu Yue said with a smile. “If they gave too little, Da Huang wouldn’t let them.”

"Where's Rhubarb?"

Zhang Ruoxi became interested immediately after hearing this.

Big Yellow is really a genius!

“While I wasn’t looking, it took the bowl of money to the farmhouse to exchange for meat,” Xu Yue said. “Little Flower and Little Black have been corrupted by it.”

“Little Flower and Little Black have both been led astray by it,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “We can only see them at night.”

"How about we get two more?"

Xu Yue casually suggested that he would naturally not mind raising a few more.

“No matter how many you raise, they’ll all be corrupted by Dahuang.” Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, “With so many tourists and the current era of social media, Dahuang is probably going to become a hit online again.”

Xu Yue nodded.

Back then, there were many people recording videos with their phones.

These days, even a simple fall can be filmed and posted on social media as a short video.

Especially something as bizarre as this.

"Let me see!"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and took out her phone to start searching.

After becoming pregnant, Zhang Ruoxi basically didn't touch her phone except for making calls and sending text messages.

Some online sources say that if pregnant women use their phones too much, it's bad for the baby.

Zhang Ruoxi naturally took it seriously.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue also became interested.

Sure enough, there were many related videos, the most popular of which came from a local internet celebrity's account.

That person must have happened to be there.

The fishing spot has long been a popular spot for online influencers, attracting many influencers from other places.

Local internet celebrities, needless to say.

Especially when the peach blossoms are in bloom, it goes without saying.

Dahuang and Dabao the Three Pandas have appeared in almost all of the videos of local internet celebrities.

Some were filmed by themselves, while others were forwarded.

Even if it's just a "script" for a local dog to make money off pandas, it's still quite amazing.

However, Xu Yue prefers to read the comments when watching these kinds of videos.

In his opinion, the comments are often more interesting than the videos.

"Is this dog some kind of spirit?"

"Isn't this Big Yellow from Peach Blossom Village?"

"Big Yellow the Wolf King!"

"The King of the Mountains, Rhubarb!"

"I saw it begging last time, and now it's started doing business!"

"Now you have the capital!"

"A stray dog ​​trying to make money by taking photos with pandas? They can't even write a proper script!"

"I didn't give enough, and they won't let me take a photo? Does this dog even know what money is?!"

"I really want a dog like that."

"Is this dog for sale?"

"Sell it? Do you know how much the dog owner is worth?"

"Haven't you heard of the Taoyuan brand? The owner of Dahuang is the boss of the Taoyuan brand."

"A rich person!"

"Rich people keep mongrels?"

"That dog is over ten years old. It's said to have broken the lifespan limit for a local dog."
