Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

The border town of He City in the eastern province of Xiaguo has always been quiet, with a heavy sense of history and only a few locals. Suddenly, it welcomed waves of guests.

Their trendy attire was so out of tune with the town that one could tell at a glance that they didn't belong there.

Gu Shutang, who was wearing a pair of ill-fitting shoes and clothes that were several inches too short, looked at the tourists in front of her who seemed to have come for the nationally famous variety show, and she had an idea in her mind.

They can make money from these tourists or the upcoming show crews.

The variety show "Let's Go Together" was created with great effort by the Fruit TV Station. The first season became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, and the second season even spent a lot of money to invite two big names to help out.

Due to limited funds, the production team had to invite two big names and had no choice but to find a place that did not cost too much to record the variety show.

The son of the mayor of the small town happened to work for the director. He showed the director some photos of the scenery of his hometown and recommended the town to the director.

The director looked at the town that was comparable to a 5A scenic spot and could be called undeveloped, so he decided to shoot the variety show in the town.

It is the year 00, before the information explosion. The development of Xia Country is not as prosperous as it will be in the future, and the small town is a representative of poverty and backwardness.

In 2000 when information was not well developed, a variety show could attract nearly 3,000 tourists, which was enough to show the power of the program team and the two big names.

The town is not big, about the same size as two villages in other towns. All the houses are handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and they are full of ancient charm.

There are not many people in the town. The young and middle-aged people have all gone out to work. Most of them are reluctant to spend the money for the train tickets back home. They only come back for a few days during the Chinese New Year. The only ones left behind are the elderly and children.

Gu Shutang had an idea in her mind, so she went to find the mayor. The mayor's family was very familiar with her and often took care of her, so Gu Shutang had confidence in the mayor.

At least he wouldn't ignore her ideas just because she looked like a child.

"Shu Tang, why are you here?"

Mayor Xu was a little surprised when he saw that the person knocking on his office door was the orphan girl from his neighbor's house.

"Grandpa Mayor, I came to discuss something with you."

"Okay, what do you want to discuss with Grandpa, Shu Tang?"

Mayor Xu asked with a good-tempered smile and poured Gu Shutang a cup of tea.

"Grandpa Mayor, what are your thoughts on the arrival of tourists these days?"

"Well, what can I think? City people like to keep things clean. It's just that that damn TV crew is only in town for a few days."

Mayor Xu didn't take it seriously and even thought they were a nuisance.

At first, he thought that the arrival of these people could boost their economy and at least earn them some money to have a good New Year, but he didn't know that these people despised their people so much.

Not only were they unwilling to get close, they also disliked the uncleanness of their place and refused to even drink their saliva.

How can we make money from them?

"Uncle Mayor, that's not what you said."

Gu Shutang raised his head and looked at Mayor Xu seriously: "Let's first give the town a major renovation and give it a brand new look. At least we can let them stay in the town and give them some of our special snacks."

At least keep people in the small town first, instead of having them all run to the county 10 kilometers away for accommodation.

She believed that as long as they solved most of the pain points in the town, many tourists would be willing to stay in the town, without having to get up early and ride expensive motorcycles or unsafe tricycles to get to the town.

Tourists are reluctant to stay in small towns, largely because although the towns have electricity, it is not stable.

There are power outages several times almost every day, and there is no electricity at all at night, which is not convenient for tourists at night.

The town's unstable power system couldn't be fixed immediately, but they could hang lanterns on the streets and light candles in their houses.

As long as it is designed properly, it will create a romantic atmosphere.

“After we have snacks, we can set up various small stalls, and then use variety shows to promote our town’s unique scenery and food.”

The elderly people left behind in the town are all experts at making local specialties. They can create new dishes with simple combinations of ingredients. Gu Shutang is amazed every time he tastes their cooking skills.

"Let's Go, Go" has become a national hit with countless viewers, and with the support of two big-name fans, Gu Shutang does not think it is impossible to build the town into a scenic city suitable for tourism.

After all, the director of "Let's Go, Go" decided to record the entire season in the small town after a field investigation.

With this favorable wind, there is no need to worry about the name of the small town leaving an impression in front of the national audience.

Doesn’t the plot also confirm this?

After the official broadcast of "Let's Go Together", one of the two big names, Bai Yongjia, vaguely hinted that the residents of the small town were all vicious and unruly people, and the villagers were backward and ignorant, and they extorted a thousand yuan from him for a bowl of so-called tonic soup.

Although the town in the plot has a bad reputation and is rejected by audiences across the country, even though it has become famous for being blackened, no matter how beautiful the scenery is many years later, no tourists are willing to come here for fear of being taken advantage of.

At least he's famous now.

And this time, Gu Shutang will not let the people in the town bear this bad reputation.

What Bai Yongjia drank was not an ordinary tonic soup, but someone else's life-saving medicine.

The medicinal herbs added in it are not rare in the market. They are just the life-saving herbs passed down by Mayor Xu’s ancestors. They can be used to treat the bites of poisonous insects.

Because Bai Yongjia "accidentally" drank the soup, an innocent person was unable to receive medical treatment. He just left behind two thousand yuan for the tonic soup and walked away.

"Maybe people in our town won't have to go out to work and won't have to wait until the Lunar New Year to reunite."

Gu Shutang looked at Mayor Xu sincerely, told him all her thoughts, and waited for his decision.

Mayor Xu couldn't help but feel excited when he heard her last sentence. He thought, how comfortable it would be if the young and middle-aged people in the town didn't have to go out to work and could live on their own land.

No one wants to leave their hometown.

The only people left in the town are the elderly and young children. Those who can go out to work have already done so.

When Mayor Xu heard the idea proposed by Gu Shutang, he agreed without hesitation. After all, this change did not require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Everyone in their town knows how to make lanterns, and cleaning them only requires effort. The ingredients used in the special dishes are all harvested from everyone's fields, and only a large amount of candles and seasonings cost some money.

Compared to the possibility mentioned by Gu Shutang, Mayor Xu felt that it was just a trivial matter.

"Okay, Shu Tang, let's do as you say. I'll go call a meeting with the villagers now."

Mayor Xu went out directly and asked his subordinates to gather everyone in the town to the town government for a meeting, even calling over the little kids who were going to school.

The people in the town also trusted Mayor Xu, and they all came. Some elderly people even brought their two-year-old babies tied to their chests.

Mayor Xu is worthy of being the mayor. With just a few words, he stirred up the emotions of the people below him and they all agreed with his opinion.

There was no gloom in their eyes as before. They were all filled with excitement and longing for the future. They also changed their minds about the arrival of tourists. The thought of tourists was like seeing a hen that lays golden eggs.

"It's just lanterns, right? I can make many kinds. I've bought lanterns for all the alleys and streets near my home."

An old lady with gray hair but bright eyes patted her chest and agreed.

"Aunt Hua, please don't take on too much work. You're talking big with your eyes, taking on so many things. The mayor has already told Xiaotang that we need to make everything uniform. You can't just make any lantern you want."

The old lady who was younger than Aunt Hua looked at Aunt Hua with disdain.
