Leisure time always passes extremely quickly. April is approaching in a blink of an eye, and the temperature in Ginkgo Village is gradually rising. The older girls and young wives begin to change into light spring clothes, just like beautiful scenery in the village.

As the weather improves, more and more tourists come to Jinghu Scenic Area to travel. According to statistics from the reception center, the average number of tourists staying in each week has exceeded 10,000, and a total of 50,000 people have been received in the past March!

According to this development trend, Jinghu Scenic Area will have a high probability of becoming a key scenic spot with more than one million visitors in 2011, and it can bring more than 1 billion in revenue to the local area every year!

Now, the management of Jinghu Company led by Yang Yuanhang has submitted application materials for the 5a-level tourist attractions to the Yaozhou Municipal Tourism Bureau, and officially launched the procedure for Jinghu Scenic Area to join the ranks of 5a-level scenic spots.

In fact, the application of Jinghu Scenic Area to become an A-level scenic area is not to increase prices or make money, but to be in a more favorable position when promoting it.

The current tourism market is of varying quality, but the 5a-level scenic spots assessed by the National Tourism Administration are still a relatively authoritative standard. Once they can be shortlisted, it means that Jinghu Scenic Area can get higher evaluations in the minds of ordinary people.

After all, the publicity strategy of Jinghu Scenic Area is somewhat awkward. It does not have enough heritage and fame to attract more tourists, which is not in line with the development strategy of Jinghu Company.

As soon as Jinghu Company’s application materials were submitted, the Yaozhou Municipal Tourism Bureau took the initiative to send a letter to stating that it would send an evaluation team to conduct the first round of preliminary review of Jinghu Scenic Area within one week.

This is also based on the strong connections of the Jinghu system. If it were replaced by other scenic spots, even state-owned capital scenic spots might not allow the Municipal Tourism Bureau to have such high work efficiency.

In order to welcome the arrival of the evaluation team, Yang Yuanhang led all employees to conduct a final self-inspection and self-inspection based on various rules, in order to achieve perfection.

The cadres of the Ginkgo Village Committee also knew that the assessment of the 5a-level scenic spots plays a crucial role in Ginkgo Village, so they naturally worked hard to cooperate with the various work of Jinghu Company and took action.

When Jinghu Company and Ginkgo Village Committee were mobilizing together, the application materials for the National Yunnan Golden Monkey Reserve jointly submitted by Longcheng and Shi Bingnan were also quietly sent from Ginkgo Village to Peking. This was also the efforts made by the two elderly people for Ginkgo Village and various rare animals around Jinghu Lake.

Once the application for the protection area is approved, the lives of the villagers of Ginkgo Village will undergo certain changes. For example, individuals and enterprises are not allowed to burn wasteland and open up land within their jurisdiction, and hunting and other activities are not allowed. However, for Ginkgo Village, which can already live a wealthy life by relying on tourism and Xiaojia Farm, this change will not bring much negative impact.

Ginkgo Village will instead gain more policy preferences due to the establishment of the reserve and thus be able to live a better life. Therefore, it will not object to this.

…………

Whether it is Jinghu Scenic Area applying for approval for a Level 5A scenic spot or a nature reserve, Xiao Feng is quite clear about it, but he did not participate in all the details. After all, these two things are not too difficult for Jinghu Scenic Area and Ginkgo Village today. Because the software and hardware conditions are here, the Xiao family's connections are sufficient, so naturally Xiao Feng is not going to worry too much.

Taking the application for a 5a-level scenic spot as an example, according to experts from the Provincial Tourism Bureau who inspected the scenic spot for two days, they have recognized that Jinghu Scenic Area has all the software and hardware conditions, that is, they need to pay attention to related issues in the application process.

As long as Qin Yuanchao is still in the position of Secretary of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, the scenic spot quality assessment committee of the three-level tourism bureaus in southern Yunnan Province will naturally not make any difficulties or difficulties for Jinghu Scenic Area. On the contrary, the Tourism Bureau of Southern Yunnan Province will vigorously recommend it to the National Tourism Administration and the Tourism Quality Assessment Committee for the quota of Jinghu Scenic Area.

Therefore, as long as Jinghu Scenic Area submits an application, except that the application process is too complicated and unavoidable and requires enough time, the Xiao family and Jinghu Company do not need to make any extra effort.

As for the application of the nature reserve, Xiao Feng doesn’t have to worry about it. Two old men, Longcheng and Shi Bingnan, were in charge. In addition, there were a large number of rare animals appearing in the Jinghu area, so the number of places in the reserve was naturally pinched by three fingers and holding them in hand!

Now Xiao Feng should continue to be his promising career as a housewife!

…………

The Ginkgo Village seemed silent in the early morning, and the vague sounds of night owls and insects made the silence even more obvious. The whole village is still sleeping.

Xiao Feng, who was awakened by the alarm clock, changed into work clothes and long rain boots, carried a basket on his back, and a small hoe and a dagger shining with a cold light, quietly left the old house.

When Baiyun and Heitu saw his master going out, he followed him happily. Finally, the pregnant big flower was comforted by Xiao Feng and stayed at home. Xiao Feng was worried that it was about to give birth to it and followed him into the mountain.

The reason why Xiao Feng got up at four o'clock today is to find the freshest and tenderest spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest next to the village.

Originally, there was no bamboo forest in Ginkgo Village. However, after hundreds of years of continuous cultivation by the Xiao family, a bamboo forest with tens of thousands of acres stood in the south of Ginkgo Village and became the common property of the whole village.

In the past years, the villagers have lived through many difficult years with this bamboo forest. Even now, fresh bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots and other bamboo products are still an important source of income for the village collective.

This spring, the village committee announced an important decision, that is, villagers can collect enough bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest according to their own needs, instead of handing over most of the bamboo shoot income to the village committee for distribution as before. Of course, villagers cannot collect bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest without restrictions for large-scale sales for personal profit.

However, since most of the villagers are from the Xiao family, we naturally don’t have too many greed. Besides, the income from inns and other incomes are much higher than that of bamboo forests.

On the way to the bamboo forest, Xiao Feng could meet some familiar villagers from time to time, and even see tourists who like novelty and lively participate. He would not be too bored along the way.

In fact, large bamboo forests were also planted in Xiao Feng's purple bamboo space, but it was really inconvenient for Xiao Feng to take out these top bamboo shoots out of thin air. With the current wealth of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng naturally would not want to make money by producing the purple bamboo space.

Now, Xiao Feng provides his family with various ingredients, fruits, honey, etc., which are produced in space, under the premise that various materials in reality are hidden. Therefore, he has to go out in the middle of the night to pick bamboo shoots before he can mix them into the top bamboo shoots in the purple bamboo space.

After arriving at the bamboo forest, Xiao Feng did not look for the outside with other villagers, but turned on the mine lamp and walked deeper into the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest that stretches out tens of thousands of acres will only be visited by villagers in spring and summer when bamboo shoots are produced. When villagers need bamboo as building materials, they only cut down in the outer areas. Therefore, deep in the bamboo forest is actually a rarely visited area. Even if tourists visit the bamboo forest, they will not go deep into these places.

As Xiao Feng went deeper, the bamboo leaves under his feet became a thick layer, and it felt like a soft carpet when stepped on it, which was quite comfortable.

Although the temperature in the early morning of late spring was a bit cold, for safety reasons, Xiao Feng still used the bamboo pole in his hand to constantly slap the grass, bamboo, etc. in front of him, and alerted the snake.

As he entered the center of the bamboo forest, Xiao Feng began to use a small hoe to push away the thick bamboo leaves, looking for the spring bamboo shoots that had just broken through the ground.

Bamboo shoots are a very magical thing. They can grow more than ten or twenty centimeters overnight. They are hard when they see the wind and then taste bitter. Therefore, if you want to get the most delicious bamboo shoots, you must dig them in the early morning, when they have just broken through the ground and are still buried deep in the bamboo leaf layer.

Xiao Feng was lucky and soon found a few bamboo shoots. He skillfully dug out these tender bamboo shoots with a dagger, wrapped them with the plastic wrap he brought, and put them in the backpack.

Within six hours after the bamboo shoots are excavated, it is the best stage of quality. After this period, they will be oxidized by air, and eventually become hard and bitter, without any value. Xiao Feng wrapped it in plastic wrap, just to extend the shelf life of these tender bamboo shoots and let the family taste better delicacies.

After a good start, Xiao Feng's digging operation became more and more smooth. After a while, a lot of bamboo shoots of perfect quality were loaded in his back basket. However, he did not continue to dig, but transferred some bamboo shoots from the purple bamboo space, mixed the two together, and then cleaned up and prepared to go home.

However, when he was about to return, the mineral lamp on his forehead accidentally swept a golden thing, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

As a veteran who has followed his second uncle Xiao Jinming to the mountains to collect herbs and bamboo shoots since he was a child, Xiao Feng could naturally recognize what was in the middle of the bushes of bamboo in front of him?

Sometimes when villagers enter the bamboo forest hundreds of times, they may not encounter this rare species. Xiao Feng can only secretly sigh that he is lucky. Before this, Xiao Feng always wanted to plant this top-level food that is known as the "Flower of Mountain Delicacies" in the purple bamboo space, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.

Now that they have discovered such a large cluster of golden bamboo fungus, Xiao Feng plans to transplant it into the bamboo forest in the purple bamboo space first. After they form a scale, they can continuously provide the most unique top-quality food for the Xiao family and Xiao family private restaurants.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Feng quickly transferred the bush of bamboo shoots and the soil near them to the purple bamboo space, and then he returned home.

On the way home, Xiao Feng was targeted by a little guy, and in the end he had no choice but to take it back to the old house.

Xiao Feng also knew that such a cute little animal would definitely become the new favorite of women and children when she arrived at the old house! (To be continued...)
