The rooms starting with "Yue" were for two people. The layout was similar to the single rooms, but a beaded curtain was installed between the two beds.
Although it didn't offer much privacy, it provided a sense of security, and most importantly, it was very aesthetically pleasing.
The rooms starting with "Hong" were small suites. The layout of these suites differed significantly from the single and double rooms.
Upon entering, there was a shoe rack in the entryway, followed by a small living room with a coffee table and sofa, all decorated in a relatively retro style. Behind this was a bookshelf adorned with various books.
To the left and right of the living room were two rooms, one larger and one smaller. The decor inside was similar to that of the single rooms, with the exception of the beds, which resembled the canopied beds of ancient times.
The layout inside was similar to the previous homestay, but the projector and screen were additions made by Shen Yao later.
In the past, homestays did not have projectors or screens, or even televisions. This was because Shen Yao felt that adding a television to such a room would be out of place.
After touring the farmhouse inn, Shen Yao sat back down in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Alright, the tour has concluded. Do you have any more questions?" Shen Yao asked, looking at the comments in the live stream.
As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, the comments in the live stream began to scroll wildly.
"Streamer, streamer, what do we need to bring if we come to your place?"
"Streamer, streamer, if we come, can you put together a group to take us around?"
"Streamer, streamer, are there any other fun places around your area?"
"Streamer, can we come and visit your barren hills and greenhouses?"
...
Shen Yao scanned the countless scrolling comments and picked out a few to answer, "This streamer is in a small coastal county. However, after government renovations, there are quite a few scenic spots around here. For example, there's Six Peaks Mountain nearby, which has many peculiar stones and beautiful scenery. Twenty kilometers to the north is the seaside, where you can go clam digging if you like.
The prices here are actually very affordable, except for within the scenic spots, as everyone understands. The most essential item to bring is an umbrella; it's indispensable.
As for whether you can form a group to explore if you come and know each other, yes, you certainly can. However, this streamer won't be able to accompany you, as there's quite a bit of work to do at home.
If you come and want to see the barren hills or greenhouses that this streamer has contracted, you're welcome to do so, but there isn't much to see right now."
Shen Yao described the local situation truthfully, without any embellishment.
"Alright, that's all for today's stream. See you next time."
After saying goodbye to her viewers, Shen Yao immediately ended the broadcast without any hesitation.
"Yaoyao, you have so many fans. As soon as you set up the reservation channel, someone placed an order." Ning Min looked at Shen Yao with admiration.
Shen Yao felt a little embarrassed by the gaze. "It's not that many. I saw that many people placed orders before I even posted my video. It's probably some netizens who accidentally stumbled upon it and placed orders themselves."
When Shen Yao checked the orders in the morning, she had already noticed this. This was because when her farmhouse inn was listed on the app, it was before she posted her video. It was likely that the videos and photos she took had attracted them.
What Shen Yao didn't know was that while her assumption was correct, she didn't realize that the reason so many people had placed orders early was due to a food review vlogger.
Time rewound to one day prior.
"Zhōuzi" was a well-known food review vlogger. Due to his unique streaming style, he had garnered a large following.
He was different from ordinary food review vloggers. While other vloggers would find shops online or visit places recommended by their fans, he drew lots!
He would write down the names of each province, city, and then county on slips of paper, and then draw lots. After drawing a province, he would continue to draw a city, then a county, and then find delicious food and fun places within the chosen county.
It was another day of his routine live stream, and under the watchful eyes of his fans, Zhōuzi drew his lots. The county he drew was Puhe County.
Zhōuzi had never heard of this county before, so he did a quick search online. He discovered it was a small coastal county with no particularly famous attractions. The only thing considered good was its noodles.
However, since he had drawn it, he had to fulfill his commitment.
So, he searched for various guides online, and as soon as he refreshed the page, he found a farmhouse inn called "Shen Jia."
Because its price was likely the highest in the area, it was ranked first. Zhōuzi clicked on it without a second thought.
He was also very interested in a farmhouse inn that cost several hundred yuan per night, especially in such a small county!
After opening the page and seeing the video and photos of the entire farmhouse inn, he immediately booked it without hesitation.
Since there were still several days before the farmhouse inn officially opened, some of his affluent fans, who wanted to see the streamer they followed, also booked their stays.
Moreover, the farmhouse inn looked very impressive, and they didn't lack money. They saw it as an opportunity for a trip.
Zhōuzi's influence among food review vloggers was top-tier, and a hashtag like #LookAtTheSkyHighFarmhouseInnInASmallCounty# quietly climbed to the trending list.
When many people clicked on that hashtag, they discovered that the farmhouse inn hadn't even opened yet, but all the rooms were already booked.
This immediately piqued the curiosity of even more people, and they started following the food review vlogger named Zhōuzi, just to see the follow-up.
Indeed, a farmhouse inn costing 888 yuan per day might not be considered much in a big city, but compared to the guesthouses next door that charged a maximum of over 200 yuan per night, it was indeed a sky-high price.
...
In the evening, Shen Yao sat on the balcony cultivating once again. However, this time, Shen Huaisang was staring at her.
Shen Yao couldn't bear being stared at anymore. "Third Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that."
Shen Huaisang rubbed his nose. "Yaoyao, Third Brother just wanted to ask, if, if Third Brother returned to the military, what would you think?"
Shen Huaisang spoke with great difficulty. During this period, his superiors at the unit had called him many times. The reason was that they had seen him in Shen Yao's video.
That superior had seen him completely by chance because the superior's daughter was following Shen Yao. She saw Shen Huaisang in the video and found him familiar, so she mentioned it to her father.
Who knew that when that superior saw him, he saw Shen Huaisang moving as fast as lightning, with no sign of injury whatsoever!
He then kept calling Shen Huaisang, urging him to rejoin the unit.
Shen Huaisang was conflicted. After all, his family was extremely busy now, and he really couldn't leave at this moment. Yet, he really wanted to return to the military.
He felt that only the military could allow him to continue shining and contributing.
"Then go back. We were all mentally prepared for this a long time ago. Don't tell me you think this family can't function without you."
Shen Yao immediately saw through Shen Huaisang's thoughts and gave him a look that said he was being too self-important.
Shen Huaisang: ...
