I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 157 - 102: Family Task! Is This Even Possible? (Part 2)

"Hmm!" Shuisheng nodded.

Xiaoyu continued, "Brother, with more tourists, we need more cleaning services. We can arrange for several of the older grandmas, they’ve already asked about it, wanting to earn some money to help with household expenses, and they assure us these easy tasks won’t be a problem."

Chen Han nodded.

Parents who truly love their children, even in their old age, can’t sit still; they’ll always think about doing something for their children, not just causing trouble for them.

Some parents, lacking ability, vision, and perspective, still like to act as rulers and intervene in their children’s lives, messing them up completely.

Chen Han agreed too; these older grandmas have spent a lifetime doing farm work. In fact, doing some light tasks is more beneficial for their health than being idle.

Afterward, while eating herbal cuisine, Chen Han continued discussing with his younger sister.

Xiaoyu said, "Brother, besides what we talked about earlier, with the increase in tourists, we also need more waiters, kitchen assistants, and guides. The clan members staying behind in the village should all be recruited.

"So, let’s bring back some young people working outside. After all, it’s tourism-related, so these jobs, like waiters, are no big deal, but for guides, it’s best to have young faces. After dressing in Hanfu, it at least makes tourists feel better."

Chen Han nodded, "Alright, let them come back. Besides, now that the Chen Family is developing, let’s raise the salaries; start by offering 5000 a month to the waiters and guides."

Age is an issue for guides too. Think about those tourist spots; aren’t their guides all young and beautiful? Even at a place like Wudang, the guides are young daoists.

So, the Chen Family can’t keep having a group of middle-aged women guiding tourists.

Among the younger generation of the Chen Family, few like Chen Xiaoyan have gotten into top universities; many attend ordinary colleges or haven’t gone to college and work outside.

But even if working outside can earn over 7000 a month, working as a guide in the clan only pays 5000, yet everyone will choose to work at home.

After deducting expenses for rent, utilities, and socializing outside, there’s not much money left.

Working in the village means utilities and food aren’t problems, crucially surrounded by familiar playmates, which feels great.

So, there wouldn’t be any hesitation in choosing.

Of course, for young people, 5000 a month isn’t much, so we’ll need to create a reward system. When opportunities arise, we can give young people more chances.

Since developing the family can trigger family tasks, perhaps leading the Chen Family to better development will activate more tasks.

Xiaoyu added, "Brother, there’s one more thing about accommodation. The 300 rooms aren’t enough, especially when the National Style Event begins and attracts more people, many fans hope we can think of a solution."

Chen Han now realized how many things needed attention; he thought about it and said, "Many houses in the clan are empty, discuss with everyone, let them free up a room each, and convert the vacant houses into Feng Shui Rooms. We should be able to add another 150 rooms."

The Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex is vast. In modern times, grandfather’s generation of six siblings, 28 cousins, each have several sons, and most own their own courtyards.

Besides, there are quite a few vacant courtyards that weren’t passed down by some households and reverted to the Main Family.

The vacant courtyards can be advertised as standalone courtyards, which are higher level than regular Feng Shui Rooms.

And the rooms in clan members’ homes can serve as second-tier Feng Shui Rooms; standard Feng Shui Rooms cost 500, while second-tier ones are cheaper since staying in someone else’s home isn’t as comfortable. However, when there’s no choice, tourists will still seek them out.

Of course, these rooms are arranged uniformly, and the money goes to the clan members.

Dad initially developed tourism by renting clan buildings’ public areas and exteriors, but didn’t pay much rent to clan members. Now this at least gives them extra income from housing.

Xiaomi this time said, "Once the National Style Event starts, it might still not be enough; a lot of fans have already signed up for the event."

"Hmm, first tally the specific data," Chen Han thought about the many villagers having empty rooms in Shangyuan Village. If villagers also clean up their empty rooms, it should solve part of the issue, but the effect of non-air-conditioned rooms isn’t guaranteed.

Additionally, it might be possible to negotiate with Director Chen to open a direct bus line to the Chen Family during the event, making it easier for tourists staying in the county.

Having discussed almost everything, Chen Han asked his younger sister to notify the family group.

Recently the Chen Family has appeared in the news multiple times, and with so many daily tourists, many assigned clan members are posting videos of funny tourist moments in the family group.

Thus, everyone is very invested in family matters, knowing Chen Han the Patriarch has truly developed the Chen Family.

Now Xiaoyu edited and sent the discussed matters to the family group, immediately stirring up excitement in the group.

This time a lot of people will be recruited, not only in the specialty department, but also for service, cleaning, guides, and security personnel; there are many job positions.

"The Patriarch is impressive."

"Sister Xiaoyu, I want to go back home to work!"

"Sister Xiaoyu, I want to apply as a guide."

"..."

In an instant, the whole family group was @ Xiaoyu, especially those young people, with inquiries full of eagerness.
