Chapter 2 Coconut
All the furniture in the room was ready. Chen Wenjiu's room had a bed, wardrobe, bedside table, dressing table, bookcase, desk, computer desk, coffee table, sofa and other furniture ready.
Chen Wenjiu dragged her suitcase to the wardrobe, and after thinking about it, she decided to wash her clothes first. While the weather was good, the clothes could be dried before dark.
Chen Wenjiu took the clothes out of the suitcase and threw them into the washing machine. Her clothes were basically suitable for washing in the washing machine. As for the remaining clothes suitable for hand washing, she would wait until she was free to wash them.
After washing the clothes, Chen Wenjiu couldn't help but fall on the bed and breathe a sigh of relief. It was also very tiring to take the high-speed rail. It took more than half an hour to get back to the village from the high-speed rail station, which was even more tiring.
Chen Wenjiu couldn't help but get up after lying down for a while, and went downstairs to the village store to buy towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and so on.
"Jiujiu is back? Are you going back to your hometown to work?" The shop owner was a little surprised when she saw Chen Wenjiu, but when she thought about it, Chen Wenjiu's relatives seemed to have said that she would become a teacher after graduating from college, she was no longer surprised that she returned to her hometown.
Chen Wenjiu nodded and said, "I plan to open a hotel in the village."
The whole village knew about the reconstruction of Chen Wen's restaurant, but the shop owner didn't expect that she really planned to open a hotel in the village.
"Is it really okay to open a hotel? Although our village is close to the sea, the sea water is not that dirty, and the surrounding scenery is also good, but there are not many tourists." The shop owner worried.
"You spent so much money to make the house like that, what if there are no guests?"
Chen Wenjiu smiled and said, "Let's try it first."
In fact, she was also a little worried about whether there would be guests in her hotel, especially since she didn't have the money to unlock all the rooms in the hotel. There was only a lounge and two rooms for guests to rest, and she was worried that such conditions would scare away many tourists.
Maoyang Village is a small village near the sea. It is called a fishing village, but there are still arable land in the village. The villagers of Maoyang Village can be regarded as half fishermen and half farmers.
In recent years, fishermen in Maoyang Village rarely go out to sea to fish. More young people go out to work, and middle-aged and elderly people farm at home. Occasionally, they can catch fish at sea, but they rarely go out to sea.
In fact, it is not that no one really goes out to sea to fish, but it is relatively rare. Occasionally, young people in the village will go fishing at sea if they are interested, and they can make some money if they have a good harvest.
But in fact, most people in Maoyang Village do not make money by fishing.
Chen Wenjiu stood on a high ground not far from her home, watching the waves hitting the reefs in the distance, and was forced back by the scorching sun after a while.
"Jiujiu, do you want to drink some coconut water?"
On the way home with the things she bought from the canteen, a mother-in-law saw her and asked her if she wanted to drink coconut water.
The coconuts were just picked from the tree and were still very fresh. Drinking coconut water in the hot summer is also very thirst-quenching and comfortable.
"Grandma, aren't you going to sell your coconuts?" Chen Wenjiu greeted the grandma and asked as she looked at the coconuts that the old lady handed to her.
"There are only a few of them, why sell them? Just keep them for yourself to drink coconut water." The grandma said with a smile, "It's good that you're back. When you finish drinking the coconut water, keep the coconut meat. Grandma will make some coconut leaf cakes for you to eat."
Coconut leaf cakes are made by shaving the coconut meat into shreds, adding some sugar to make the filling, then wrapping it with glutinous rice balls, and steaming it in a small box made of coconut leaves.
"No, no, grandma, just keep it for yourself." Chen Wenjiu quickly refused. She had already drunk a coconut, so how could she take the leaf cakes made by grandma?
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I will make a lot of them by then. It's a waste if I make too much and can't finish it. It won't hurt to give you a few." The grandma said with a smile.
"Thank you, grandma." Chen Wenjiu thanked her, "Just leave two for me, and the rest for my brother and sister."
Brother and sister are not Chen Wenjiu's brothers and sisters, but the local people's names for little boys and girls. As long as they see children under a few years old, adults will basically call them brothers and sisters, regardless of whether they are of different generations.
The grandma has an eight-year-old grandson and a five-year-old granddaughter, so Chen Wenjiu said to leave them for the brothers and sisters.
"Yes, yes, they have some too." The grandma said, "I don't know where the two children ran away. I'll go find them first and hide from the sun. Jiujiu, drink some water first."
"Okay." Chen Wenjiu responded, smiling at the grandma's back as she left. She was in a really good mood and was very happy to be treated so well.
In fact, the grandma is not very old. Although she is of the same generation as Chen Wenjiu's grandmother, she is actually only in her early sixties and is still in good health.
This old lady and Chen Wenjiu are somewhat related. Of course, the people in the whole village are basically related, but some relatives are closer, some are more distant, and some are completely unrelated but both sides are blood relatives and become relatives.
For example, the old lady just now, her daughter married the nephew of Chen Wenjiu's grandmother, so Chen Wenjiu and the old lady are relatives. But in fact, the old lady has no blood relationship with Chen Wenjiu.
Chen Wenjiu hid under the tree and drank the water of a coconut. After drinking it, he put the empty coconut on the table, took out a large bag of about ten mung bean cakes from his bag, and a bag of soft coconut-flavored wafers and put them on the table.
She didn't need to pay for drinking a coconut from the old lady, so she might as well give her some biscuits to eat. Anyway, the old lady's teeth are not bad, so eating some biscuits is not bad.
After Chen Wenjiu put the mung bean cakes and wafers on the table, she left. She had to go back to pack her luggage and check the house to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
Chen Wenjiu returned home with the bag and saw that there were two big trees in front of her house, and two flower pots at the door. This is also good, at least there is a little greenery, or it is still bare and nothing, which is still very annoying in this hot summer.
However, two big trees and two pots of green plants are too few. She has to work hard to make money to unlock more things and exchange some green plants.
Chen Wenjiu carried her things upstairs. After returning to the room, she couldn't stand the heat and ran to take a shower and change clothes. Only then did she feel a little more comfortable.
After taking a shower, she took out the clothes from the washing machine and hung them on the balcony. Then, after her hair was dry, she went to sleep. I really didn't want to go out in the hot summer, and I didn't know what to do, so I might as well sleep.
When Chen Wenjiu woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon. She sat lazily in front of the French window and looked at the sea in the distance. Did she feel that such a life was quite comfortable?
However, she would probably be busy after her hotel opened. What can she do? Who made her savings empty and she also borrowed foreign debts?
She can only work hard to make money and pay off her debts.
The new article has been published, and I will directly publish 4,000 words today.
Before it is put on the shelves, I usually update 2,000 words a day, and then 6,000 words a day after it is put on the shelves.
The new article is about ancient and modern times. The inspiration for the inn comes from "Udon's Inn", and some of the settings are inspired by "Landlord Simulator". These two games are the inspiration for this article.
When I wrote the previous ancient farming article, I was always playing these two games. At that time, I had inspiration, but I just wrote it down and didn't write it down.
Now I can finally start writing this article.
I hope this article can be written better and the results can be better. I hope readers will support it.
This article is similar to the plot of the last volume of my previous book "Traveling Through the Ages with a Farm". Can it be considered an expansion?
