Farming in another world to make a fortune

Yu Zhou handed Lin Yue the job of buying mountain land from the Chen family to Uncle Qing, and he himself started preparing things for the winter.

This year they didn't go home until the autumn harvest, and there was no harvest in the field. Although the uncles who planted his family's land also sent some things, it was not enough after all.

Especially sweet potatoes, because of their high yields, not only their village, but people from other nearby villages have also begun to plant them in large quantities in recent years.

Yu Zhou bought nearly a thousand catties of sweet potatoes and used them to make dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour.Of course they can't eat so much at home, it's mainly for gifts.

This period of time was the most leisurely since Yu Zhou crossed over.

He doesn't have much to worry about about the trivial matters at home, besides reading and writing scripts every day, he just needs to play with Chenchen.

He has seen the prosperity of another world, and there are many special tricks to play with Chenchen. Sometimes even Jin Chuan finds it novel and can't help but join in.

After playing around for a whole winter, the relationship between the family of three, which was already excellent, has reached a new level.

After the new year and the beginning of spring, Yu Zhou started to get busy again.

Although there are more Lin Yue and Zheng Xiu doing things in the family now, and when they are too busy, Yu Zhou will ask others to help, but he still has to arrange what to do and how much to do.

Not to mention the farmer who wants to plant in the field, the hillside where the tea trees are planted this year is facing the sun. According to the environment where the wild tea trees grow in Guikuya and Huaishu Valley, as well as Yu Zhou's own understanding of the habits of tea trees, he knows that there is nothing at all. Shading is not conducive to the growth of tea trees.

So when the peach trees in the yard started to sprout, Yu Zhou picked a day with good weather and planned to take Lin Yue to buy some suitable trees and plant them in the tea garden.

Nearly twenty miles away from their village, there was a forest farm selling saplings. Yu Zhou had made an agreement with the owner of the forest farm that he would go to see the saplings today.

The road is a bit far, so Yu Zhou and Lin Yue got up early that day.

Lin Yue hurriedly finished his breakfast and said, "I'll go and harness the carriage first."

Yu Zhou gave an 'hmm', continued to eat at a leisurely pace, and put another steamed dumpling in Jin Chuan's bowl.

As a result, before the chopsticks were retracted, Chenchen's legs were hugged by the flying Chenchen, and at the same time, Chenchen asked excitedly: "Father, where are we going to play today~"

Yu Zhou paused holding the chopsticks, looking into Chenchen's shining eyes, he couldn't bear to tell him that he wasn't going to play today.

"Chenchen, come over to Daddy's side." In the end, it was Jin Chuan who looked at their father and son staring at each other, waved at Chenchen helplessly, and explained, "Your father and Uncle Lin are going to do business today, and you are at home with Daddy." .”

Chenchen's wide-open eyes looked down little by little, and finally bowed her head and let out an 'oh', then stared at the toe of her shoe and slowly rubbed back to Jin Chuan's side.

Seeing his son like this, Yu Zhou's heart was so soft that he winked at Chenchen and said, "Why don't you go together, Chenchen and your father can also choose their favorite tree."

When he said this, he saw that Jin Chuan opened his mouth, as if he was about to refute, so he rushed to the front and said: "And at most one year later, Chenchen should be able to read and practice calligraphy. Before that, he should be allowed to play as he pleases." happy."

Jin Chuan also felt sorry for Chen Chen. Hearing what Yu Zhou said made sense, he just couldn't help muttering, "Then what if I play wild and don't want to read and practice calligraphy?"

"Father Zi Xiao, who do you think of us has the kind of temperament that can play wild?" Yu Zhou laughed, and added a steamed dumpling to Chen Chen's small bowl, "Besides, have you seen it before?" How many children are more obedient than Chenchen?"

Jin Chuan was speechless, he could only turn to Chenchen who was happy again, pointed to the steamed dumplings in the small bowl and said, "You can go play after finishing the steamed dumplings made by your father."

"Okay!" Chen Chen nodded in response, and after being put back on the stool by Jin Chuan, she took the small spoon and the bowl, obediently finished the steamed dumplings that were a bit big for him in several bites.

Afterwards, Zheng Xiu was in charge of the house, and Yu Zhou's family of three rushed to the farm with Lin Yue.

There was only a light rain last night, the kind that was only enough to wet the grass and trees. Now that the wheels run over the road, it will neither stick to the mud nor raise dust. Even the air has changed because of the light rain last night. It was extraordinarily fresh.

The raspberry flowers that bloomed in early spring are open on the thorns by the roadside, as if they are whiter than the apricot blossoms on the uphill slope in the distance.

Chenchen lay on the window of the car, her eyes wide open curiously, she exclaimed from time to time, she turned her head and pulled Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan's sleeves, beckoning her parents to watch it together.

After going back and forth a few times, Yu Zhou simply lay down by the window with him, watching and teaching Chenchen to recognize the plants on the roadside.

Chenchen also took notes carefully, and when she arrived at her destination, she told Jinchuan one by one what he and her father saw just now.

Jin Chuan glanced at Yu Zhou, then knelt down to look at Chen Chen, and said with a smile, "When you go back, can you point it out to Dad?"

There was a trace of trouble in Chenchen's happy expression, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "I may... I can't remember a few things..."

"It's okay," Jin Chuan stroked Chen Chen's hair, and said softly, "Tell Dad as much as you can remember."

"Okay." Chenchen nodded heavily, and a confident and lovely smile reappeared on his face.

The three of Yu Zhou waited by the carriage for a while, and Lin Yue went inside to find the owner of the forest farm, and hurried over.

The owner of the forest farm is surnamed Li. He is a young man in his fifties. He looks very energetic. He ran all the way in a hurry without panting. He asked Yu Zhou with a smile, "What kind of saplings do you want?"

Yu Zhou thought about the needs of tea trees, and said: "In summer, when the sun is strong, it can provide shade. In winter, it is best to be in a state of fallen leaves."

Old man Li pondered for a while after listening to the request. If he could travel so far to buy saplings from him, what he wanted was definitely not a variety that could be dug up in the mountains. He roughly screened the saplings in the forest farm and locked them in. After a few species, he said: "In this case, I suggest you buy fruit trees, which can not only provide shade in summer, but also enjoy flowers in spring, and have fruits to pick in autumn, killing three birds with one stone."

Seeing that Yu Zhou and the others were listening attentively, he continued: "I grafted a batch of peach trees the year before last. The mother plants I selected produced fruit the size of a child's fist, which were crisp and sweet. This year they just grew enough to grow out of the nursery. size, would you like to go and have a look?"

Yu Zhou hadn't decided what kind of tree to plant at first, but when he heard the owner of the forest farm say that there were peach trees, he almost already had a choice in his heart, as long as the batch of saplings were not too bad.

As a result, after the group of people walked to the nursery for a while, Chenchen suddenly pointed to the snow-like whiteness in the distance, and said excitedly: "Father, Daddy, Xinghua!"

Old man Li looked at the direction he was pointing at, and said with a smile, "That's Li Hua, and Xing Hua is on the other side of the hill." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Do you like Xing Hua, young master?"

Chenchen was shocked and looked at Yu Zhou in disbelief.

Yu Zhou first answered Old Man Li's words, "He just happened to be on the way here and saw a few almond blossom trees in the mountains."

Then he said to Chenchen: "Plum blossoms are whiter than apricot blossoms, and the trees are also different. I'll take you there to take a closer look after I finish my work."

Chenchen responded with an 'um', her eyes still staring at the white patch.

But now his father and father are in charge of the house, and both parents prefer peach trees, so he can only be hugged to see peach trees together.

Peach trees that have not yet blossomed and bear fruit can only be judged by the thickness of the branches and the size of the buds. Yu Zhou has seen all the peach trees in the nursery and is satisfied with the overall situation, so he made a decision with old man Li. quantity.

Old man Li knew that he wanted a lot, but he didn't expect to ask for so much. He smiled and said: "If it's convenient for you, we will send the peach trees there starting tomorrow. The quantity you want is a bit large, and it will probably cost three." It takes days to finish, do you think so?"

"Okay." Yu Zhou nodded. He couldn't send the peach trees all at once, so he just hired a few people to plant them. It's not a big deal.

After that, Yu Zhou took Chenchen to see Li Hua and Xing Hua, and let them know the difference between the two numbers before going back.

The next day, the saplings began to be sent to Yu Zhou's house one after another. He still invited people from the village to plant them. With such a big commotion, many people misunderstood that he wanted to turn those mountainous areas into orchards, but they were a little surprised why Every tree will be that far apart.

But as long as they don't ask Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan to come in front of them, they don't know, and if they ask one or two, they just say that the open space is reserved for other purposes.

On the third day, old man Li delivered the last batch of saplings in person, and paid for it by the way.

Knowing that he was coming, Yu Zhou didn't go to the mountains in the afternoon.

Old man Li was driving an ox cart, and on the back of the cart were two small saplings that had been fixed, and there were still white flowers on the saplings.

Seeing Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan come out with Chen Chen, old man Li pointed to the saplings on the cart and said, "I came over and the ox cart was empty, so I dug a plum tree and an apricot tree and brought them here. Give it to the little boy."

"I am interested," Yu Zhou thanked with a smile, and said to Chen Chen, "Thank you, Grandpa Li."

It is estimated that the two saplings were dug by Mr. Li himself. He not only dug out a large lump of soil next to the roots, but also tied the soil tightly with straw ropes, so that even if the road is bumpy, the soil will not be separated from the roots. .

It's really hard work.

After old man Li finished his money and left, Jin Chuan asked, "Are these two trees going to be planted on the mountain too?"

"Plant it on a mountain." Yu Zhou glanced at Chenchen, who was already standing beside the sapling and staring at it, raised his chin and said, "Chenchen likes it, so I planted it in the flower bed in front of the sapling. Then the window of the room where Chenchen lives will be planted."

"It's okay." Jin Chuan always feels that Chenchen can't tell what he likes now, it's just that he saw it for the first time and found it novel.

But this is not a big deal, if you don't like it in the future, just dig it and plant something else.

After the peach trees were planted, the tea trees also started to sprout, but this time Yu Zhou didn't avoid the villagers like before, but invited Uncle Chen and others to pick tea leaves for him.

Anyway, those two tea forests are already his private property.
