Wang Xiaoqiang's scalp tingled, and he hurriedly turned around and bolted.

In the night, his fleeing figure resembled a drawn bow.

After running a distance, Wang Xiaoqiang had to stop to catch his breath. It wasn't because he was panic-stricken, but rather because it was uncomfortably taut below. Running bent over like that was torture for a man, a real ordeal.

The environment a moment ago, the words of Li Xianghong, and her pressing up against him were all too tempting. They made Wang Xiaoqiang feel light in the bones, and the two Five Elements Spiritual Springs almost surged to his lower abdomen at the same time.

If Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't decisively fled, he might have already been dragged down into the pond by her.

After quite a long break, the Five Elements Spiritual Springs returned to their places, and Wang Xiaoqiang's heartbeat and breathing stabilized. Only then did he slowly make his way back to the Chicken Farm.

The next day, Wang Xiaoqiang gathered a few workers for an early meeting, asking them about their experience soaking in the hot spring the previous night.

"Ah, it was so comfortable!" Li Xianghong made a face of pure enjoyment. In truth, she was a bit disappointed inside. If Wang Xiaoqiang had joined her in the soak last night, it would have been perfect!

"I've never soaked in a hot spring in my life before, and last night my spouse and I almost fell asleep in that pond from the comfort... Hehe..."

Zhao Dabao was at a loss for words, so Li Jinye spoke for both of them, but she wasn't telling the whole truth. They were the last couple to go for a soak last night, and when they felt comfortable, it wasn't as she said, drowsy with sleepiness. Instead, while scrubbing each other's backs, they got so heated that they almost did that indulgent act right there in the pond.

"It's really good, and after soaking, when I got up this morning, I felt that all the tiredness in my body was gone, and I felt energetic and refreshed," said Xia Guifang. Her words were true, but not comprehensive, because her skin had become much more delicate than the day before, aside from feeling refreshed.

However, her words did resonate with everyone.

Wang Xiaoqiang, having the Spiritual Springs within him, didn't feel anything special, but the other five workers all felt a noticeable change. After soaking in the pond last night and getting a good night's sleep, they woke up this morning free of fatigue and full of energy and spirit.

So before Xia Guifang could finish speaking, everyone was already nodding in agreement with the same feeling.

Seeing the "Spiritual Spring" receive everyone's approval, Wang Xiaoqiang was naturally overjoyed and said, "If everyone enjoys the soak, from now on you can all soak every night, just don't let the word get out..."

All five workers assured that they would keep it a secret. Such a good "hot spring" could attract others if word got out, and with the pond being small, they didn't want to share it with too many people.

After the workers dispersed, Wang Xiaoqiang began to plan how to develop the "hot spring."

There were no hot springs discovered elsewhere in Huagui County to draw experience from, and Wang Xiaoqiang himself had never soaked in a hot spring or visited any leisure resorts like that, so he had absolutely no experience in this area.

He had to turn to the internet for information.

After researching online, Wang Xiaoqiang found out that hot springs are now a dual activity for leisure and therapeutic health benefits.

However, the hot spring industry of the leisure era is no longer just about simple "soaking." In recent years, surrounding these new star-rated hot spring resorts, a high-end leisure industry has emerged, integrating health preservation, leisure, beauty, fitness, tourism, and business.

Places like Longxi Shunjing, Emperor View Hot Springs, or Jiuhua Villa, which are well-known, are even more attractive. Even outside of weekends, their pools are never deserted; during the day, their conference rooms are bustling with people, and at night, the indoor and outdoor pools are brightly lit and lively.

Due to the influx of business guests, the development and utilization of hot springs have been flourishing. Efforts are made not only to delve into cultural connotations but also to invent ways to make money.

Frankly speaking, starting a hot spring business is not a trifling matter, because a hot spring is not just a bathhouse. It's not as simple as just setting up a few rooms and a couple of large pools.

The current hot spring models range from small to large: hot spring sanatoriums, hot spring hotels and inns, and hot spring resorts.

The latter two types of hot spring businesses require meticulous planning, substantial funding, and a long period of time, conditions that Wang Xiaoqiang currently does not possess.

Therefore, if he wants to make money from "hot springs" now, he can only set up a hot spring sanatorium.

However, the model of a hot spring sanatorium is outdated with simple equipment and limited activities, and it also yields the lowest profit. With Wang Xiaoqiang's temperament, he naturally wouldn't just settle for opening a sanatorium; he'd rather open a hot spring resort villa. With this idea in mind, all he can do is wait, wait for sufficient funding, wait for the right opportunity.

But good things are worth waiting for, and Wang Xiaoqiang believes that day will come eventually.

As the New Year approached, the chicken farm was busier than ever because another batch of chicks had grown up and started laying eggs. The farm's daily output had increased to about five thousand, which could fulfill the weekly needs of a large hotel.

Wang Xiaoqiang supplied an additional four thousand eggs each to Dihao Hotel and Junle Hotel, which delighted head chefs Wang Kuishan and Zheng Hua, who praised him as a timely rain, comparing him to Song Jiang.

During the Spring Festival, hotel business is at its peak, and the six thousand eggs Wang Xiaoqiang supplied weekly were simply not enough. Under these circumstances, there was no choice but to resort to purchasing ordinary eggs, which risked customer dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang directly supplied them with an additional four thousand eggs, alleviating this concern.

Wang Xiaoqiang then called Xu Kunyou, the kitchen manager of Qingcheng Grand Hotel, and asked him to come for the eggs.

Xu Kunyou hadn't expected the good news to come so quickly. He had been longing to use Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs for the hotel's signature dish, Mandarin Duck Double Flower Egg. Now his wish was finally coming true. After thanking him repeatedly, he sent for a truck to pick up the eggs from Mantou Mountain that very day.

There wasn't much to discuss regarding the price. Wang Xiaoqiang had already stated that his eggs were meant to establish a brand and reputation in the Provincial Capital, so the pricing had to be uniform. Qingcheng Hotel naturally followed Dihao's pricing at fifteen yuan per egg.

To ensure all the refrigerated eggs were sold before the Spring Festival, Wang Xiaoqiang set the same supply amount for Qingcheng Hotel as Dihao Hotel, delivering once a week, ten thousand eggs each time.

By the eve of the lunar New Year, there were not many refrigerated eggs left at the chicken farm. Apart from those kept for personal consumption, Wang Xiaoqiang gave some to the workers and also distributed a thousand yuan end-of-the-year bonus to each of them.

Although a thousand yuan was not much, it made everyone overjoyed. Wang Xiaoqiang arranged for everyone to have vacations during the Spring Festival period, but they were staggered, ensuring that two people were on duty at the chicken farm every day.

No one had any complaints. They followed Wang Xiaoqiang's arrangements: those who were off took their breaks, and those scheduled to work continued working. Wang Xiaoqiang became a hands-off manager, no longer worrying about the chicken farm because it was time to prepare for the New Year.
