Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

While everyone was working together to build roads and prepare products, something unexpected happened, which brought a new turning point in the development of Cui Gu Village.

That day, several young people from the city went to the countryside to sketch and accidentally came to Cui Gu Village.

As soon as they entered the village, they were attracted by the beautiful natural scenery and the simple rural atmosphere.

A few young men were wandering around the village with easels on their backs, and they happened to meet Wang Dashan who was checking the condition of the fruit trees in the orchard.

A girl with braided hair asked Wang Dashan curiously: "Uncle, your village is so beautiful. How come I have never heard of it before?"

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "Girl, our Cuigu Village has been busy with production in the past and has not done much publicity, but now we are thinking about promoting the good things of our village."

The girl became interested when she heard this and asked, "What good things do you have here?"

Wang Dashan enthusiastically introduced to them the village's canned fruits, Codonopsis pilosula planted under the forest, native chickens and other products, and invited them to taste some of them.

After tasting it, several young people praised it highly.

The girl with braids said, "Uncle, these things of yours are so good, you should promote them. These pure natural and local things are very popular in the city now."

Wang Dashan said helplessly: "Girl, we also want to promote it, but we don't know how to do it. We don't have much experience in this small village."

At this time, a young man wearing glasses said, "Uncle, we are majoring in art and publicity. We can help you think of a solution. For example, we can design some beautiful and distinctive promotional posters for you, write some attractive promotional copy, and help you contact some exhibitions in the city to display your products."

When Wang Dashan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Oh, that's great. Thank you so much. If this works, it will be a great help to our village."

A few young people took action immediately. They settled down in the village and began to gain a deep understanding of every aspect of Cui Gu Village, from the natural scenery to the lives of the villagers, from the production process of the products to the stories behind them.

They mingled with the villagers, listened to the elders tell the history of the village, learned how to can food and dry Codonopsis pilosula from the women, and helped farmers take care of poultry and livestock.

During this process, the young man wearing glasses said to Wang Dashan: "Uncle, I think when we promote our products, we can't just emphasize the product itself, but also show the culture of your village and the hardworking and simple nature of the villagers. This will be more attractive and let everyone feel the warmth behind these products."

Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, you are absolutely right, young man. There are so many stories in our village. They are the result of the hard work of our ancestors. It would be great if people outside could know about them."

After several days of hard work, the young people designed a set of exquisite promotional posters. The posters showed pictures of Codonopsis pilosula swaying in the beautiful mountains of Cuigu Village, the joyful scene of villagers picking fruits for canning in the orchard, and local chickens foraging freely in the mountains. Next to them were simple and touching texts introducing the story of Cuigu Village and the characteristics of its products.

They also helped write detailed promotional copy and delivered it to some newspapers and propaganda agencies in the city.

Not long after, a newspaper in the city published a report about Cui Gu Village, introducing this small village with rich resources and simple customs.

This attracted a lot of attention. Many city residents showed great interest in Cui Gu Village's products and wrote to inquire about how to buy them. Some businesses also contacted Wang Dashan on their own initiative, wanting to cooperate.

Wang Dashan was so happy when he saw these letters and cooperation intentions. He said to the villagers: "Comrades, you see, this is the power of collective wisdom. Thanks to these enthusiastic young people, our village has such a great opportunity. We must seize it and make our products better and better so that more people can know about Cuigu Village."

Village chief Petrov also said with emotion: "Yes, Dashan, this shows that as long as we open our minds and accept new ideas and new forces from outside, we can bring unexpected benefits to the village. We must continue to work hard to do a solid job of publicity and make our village more famous."

So, Wang Dashan organized everyone to further improve the product packaging based on the young people's suggestions and incorporate elements that reflect the village culture and stories.

At the same time, he arranged for someone to reply to letters from the city and connect with cooperating businesses, and he was very busy.

And those young people did not leave. They continued to stay in the village, helping Wang Dashan with ideas and preparing to participate in some agricultural product exhibitions in the city.

During the preparation of the exhibition, everyone discussed how to arrange the booth to make it more attractive.

A villager said: "Should we put out the old things in our village so that people from the city can see our traditional rural life?"

Another villager also said: "Yes, it would be interesting to have some demonstrations of our villagers making canned food and drying codonopsis on site."

Wang Dashan listened and said with a smile: "Everyone's idea is good, let's do it this way, show everyone the most authentic side of Cuigu Village, so that they will never forget our good things when they come here."
