That evening, Shen Yao called Grandpa Zhou. As soon as she mentioned premium Glutinous Rice Dumpling lychees, he immediately agreed without hesitation.
When Grandpa Zhou learned there were only a few trees, he felt a bit disappointed. But then he thought, having some was better than none!
"Then Uncle Zhou doesn't need to come over specially. I'll help you pick the lychees and send them to the airline. You just need to arrange for someone to receive them."
Shen Yao's suggestion perfectly solved Grandpa Zhou's urgent problem. He was already overwhelmed with work and had even considered asking Grandma Zhou to make the trip.
"Thank you, Yaoyao. When you have time, you must come visit our home. Your Aunt Zhou has mentioned you many times."
Grandpa Zhou wasn't lying. Grandma Zhou had indeed spoken of Shen Yao several times. Because of the "Beauty Grass," almost all her wealthy acquaintances had come to curry favor with her.
They all asked how she managed to become fairer and more beautiful. This had allowed him to regain some respect among the wealthy ladies' circle. Previously, at gatherings, those ladies would often tease him about Zhou Yanan's appearance.
Now that his daughter had become fairer, and he had benefited from it, it was all thanks to Shen Yao.
"I will definitely come when I have time. In a few days, our farmhouse will open. Uncle Zhou, please bring Aunt Zhou to visit us too."
Shen Yao didn't really expect them to come, she just said it politely.
"Okay, then Uncle Zhou will be busy with that," Grandpa Zhou said, and hung up the phone.
After several more days of meticulous work, the farmhouse was completely renovated.
Gao Yang also led his small renovation team to the next project.
Thanks to the videos Shen Yao posted, Gao Yang's craftsmanship had gained much recognition, and people were calling them for renovations.
However, because the Shen family's farmhouse wasn't completely ready yet, Gao Yang had turned down all other offers. Gao Yang knew that the reason he had so much business was entirely Shen Yao's credit.
This was because when Shen Yao filmed the renovation of the farmhouse, she always included Gao Yang's information and contact number. Her intention was that if anyone appreciated Gao Yang's skills, they could contact him directly.
The farmhouse was scheduled to officially open on June 18th, so Shen Yao decided to have another live stream.
She had also registered their farmhouse on a travel app long ago, and bookings had already started.
Shen Yao's video for the day was a full tour of the completed farmhouse, which she then uploaded with a caption: "The farmhouse is now online. We welcome everyone to stay. Those who are interested, please log in to the travel app for advance booking. Note: There will be a live stream this afternoon at 6 PM. See you there."
Shen Yao's video immediately attracted the attention of many netizens, especially those who had been following the renovation from the beginning.
"Wuwu, it's incredibly beautiful. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it was real."
"This is simply a paradise on earth. I don't care, I must go!"
"It's absolutely stunning. I could die without regrets if I could stay there for a night."
"This is a child I personally 'helped give birth to,' and it has already grown up. It's so fulfilling!"
"Ahhh! Are you all devils? I just opened the app and found the streamer's farmhouse, only to be told that all rooms are already booked!"
"What! Booked out? Wuwu, I knew it, I should have booked earlier."
"Impossible, right? Can't you book 10 days in advance? How could it be... Whoa, it's a grass, I was too shallow. They are indeed fully booked!"
"You are insane, you are not human, you, you are too much of a dog!!!"
...
Shen Yao looked at the comments on her phone and then opened the travel app on her computer. She discovered that all the rooms were indeed booked, with reservations extending 10 days after the opening.
Shen Yao did a quick calculation. The courtyard had over 60 rooms, with two people per room, meaning over a hundred people.
Shen Yao: ...
So many people.
Shen Yao grabbed her phone and ran to the fields. She needed to find people.
Now, the entire Shen family's focus was on the greenhouses, especially after knowing that millions had been spent on them and that leaders were paying attention.
The framework of the greenhouses had already been erected. They were built as connected structures, forming a continuous whole. Pathways for machinery were reserved in the middle to facilitate transportation and cultivation.
The simplest framework had been completed. The rest was the main event, as glass greenhouses, coupled with various mechanical controls, meant that even the slightest error could cause problems.
"Yaoyao, why are you here?" Shen Huaisang walked out from a pile of frames and saw Shen Yao.
Shen Yao: "I'm looking for Dad and Big Brother."
Shen Huaisang heard her and said, "Anything you say to me is the same."
Shen Yao gave Shen Huaisang a disdainful look. "Can you even cook? With your instant noodle cooking skills, you should stay out of it."
Shen Huaisang was looked down upon by his sister, but he couldn't refute her. He indeed only knew how to cook instant noodles.
"But what does cooking have to do with it? Are you hungry?" Shen Huaisang asked, then took out a pack of wafer biscuits from his pocket. "Here, have some."
Shen Yao reached out and took the biscuits. Fine, she was indeed a bit hungry. She had been getting hungry very quickly lately, constantly eating.
"Now, tell me, what do you need to talk to Dad and Big Brother about?"
Shen Yao: "The rooms at the farmhouse are all booked, and they're reserved up to 10 days after the opening."
Shen Huaisang's eyes widened when he heard this. "When did that happen? Our farmhouse hasn't even opened yet, how can it be booked?"
"I set up a reservation online. Except for the 10 rooms I specifically set aside, all other rooms are booked," Shen Yao said.
This was also unexpected for her. After all, she had planned to recommend the farmhouse during the live stream that evening.
Who knew they would consume so wildly, booking all the rooms without even seeing them? Did she still need to go live tonight?
"How much money is that?!" Shen Huaisang was also shocked.
"I calculated, it should be around 100 people," Shen Yao said. If there were families with babies, it might be even more.
Shen Huaisang: ...
"So many people, they can fit, but how about the food? Can Big Brother manage it alone?"
Shen Huaisang couldn't even imagine it. Besides breakfast, two meals would need to be prepared each day. His Big Brother would have to prepare lunch and dinner. How could he possibly manage?
"That's why I'm looking for Big Brother and Dad! Hurry up and let me find them. There's so much stuff here, don't fall!"
Shen Huaisang said anxiously, then asked Shen Yao to stand in a relatively flat area before he dashed off to find them.
