Ye Jianqiu

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning, accompanied by the crisp birdsong, shines gently on the person who is sleeping soundly on the tatami mat through the small screen window, the person in the bed stretches out a clean leg and presses against the soft floral flowers. On the quilt, turned over and went to sleep again.

The mischievous sunlight gradually moved to his face, under the golden light, this face looked so crystal clear, the long eyelashes kept shaking, finally...

"The sun is drying my ass again!"

Ye Jianqiu muttered and rubbed his eyes and sat up. The neckline of the white nightgown on his body was wide open due to his dishonest sleep, revealing his round shoulders and delicate collarbone.He frowned and closed his eyes, and skillfully picked up a hair tie from the pillow to tie up his hair.

I really worry about those long-haired girls, they need to wash their hair at least three or four times with water, and it takes a lot of shampoo!

He yawned and got up lazily, picked up a towel and put it on his shoulders, picked up the small basin containing the toiletries and walked out of the tent in a daze.

Last night almost stayed up all night.

The candles in the tent remained on, and he discussed with Chaoge about the future development of the farm.How to open a cotton and hemp clothing workshop, how to open a grain and oil store, as well as a fresh fruit and vegetable store, livestock slaughter, warehouse management, transportation methods, and the use of labor...

dizzy!What a mess!

Since neither of them had ever dealt with such a large farm, and it was the first time to do such a large business, the two bold young people were faced with the excitement of starting their own businesses.Both enthusiastic and cautious, they kept discussing, arguing, even arguing with red eyes, slapping the table and shouting, ruining one plan after another.

But there is one thing they tacitly know, they are not professional in fact, one is a small sergeant with a gun and stick, and the other is a small farmer who grows vegetables and waters the garden. They are not professionals in management at all. We need a shrewd and experienced people to help.But the two of them agreed to never mention this matter, because they had poured so much effort into this farm, even if they did poorly, even if they overturned it and started all over again, they didn't want to hand it over to others!

The golden sun shone on the ground through the treetops, and the birds chirped and sang happily, as if mocking the lazy guy who was the last to rise.

The air is fresh, the wind is blowing, the leaves are rustling, and there is still a residual mist in the woods.Ye Jianqiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his mind cleared up a lot.Due to the increase of green plants, the oxygen ion content in the air is particularly high, and the temperature is also very suitable. After a long breath, the stale air in the lungs seems to be washed away.

The grove behind the tent where Ye Jianqiu lived remained the same, not a single plant or tree was moved.Because there are many miscellaneous trees here, and there are many wild fruit trees.Wild jujubes, persimmons, and wild peaches have been sparsely fruited, maintaining their original flavor.

The soil on the ground of the forest was undulating, and there was a thick layer of dead leaves and dead branches. The sun was not easy to come in, and the rare shade was cool and refreshing. His hammock was still hanging there obediently.Ye Jianqiu likes to rest or take a walk here the most. When he is lucky, he can even pick up mushrooms in the woods.

Ye Jianqiu called this forest a "natural reserve" with a smile, not only because there are many birds in the forest, but also because he saw a few rare little squirrels!

The living tents of the farm staff formed a circle and were all built around this natural forest. Ye Jianqiu's tent was the first one entering the farm, not only facing the road, but also the closest to the gate of the farm.

This road on the farm can run three carriages side by side, and it is the only way to go.Pushing open the door of his tent, one can clearly see people coming and going in the tent, which is equivalent to the function of a reception room.

On the opposite side of the road is the endless farmland. Ye Jianqiu, who cherishes the land, has not given up on the transformation of this "road" in the field, and jujube trees have been planted on both sides of the road.

Three peaches, three apricots, four pears, five years, when the jujube tree is planted, it will be sold for money.Onyx-like fruits are already hanging on the jujube tree. The branches and leaves are so bright red that the branches and leaves are almost invisible.That scene must be as lively as a festival!

He didn't let go of the ravines and ravines under the jujube trees. They were all planted with sesame seeds. You can easily grab a handful of green sesame leaves that are bigger than a palm. The fresh and tender leaves are also delicious when made into hot pot noodles or cold salad.There are also inexhaustible sweet potato leaves, which have the same effect as sesame leaves, and can be eaten as green vegetables.

In Qingyang Town, this farm is the only one that has the most food. Whether it grows on the top of the tree, grows on the ground, or hides in the soil, there are edible crops everywhere.Not to mention the flocks of cattle and sheep in the livestock area, the big white geese running around in the fruit forest, landlubbers, and real flying chickens. If you are not careful when walking, you can encounter nests of eggs!

Prisoners are very busy with their work throughout the year. Not only do they often work overtime, but they also don’t get paid.But the living conditions are still very good. You can’t live without meat, vegetables, eggs, white buns, and you can swim and take a bath. Next to the three big pits that were dug at the beginning, Chaoge dug the fourth pit in one breath. , Pit No. [-]... all the way to Pit No. [-]!After work is over every day, people jump down to play like dumplings, and the sound of laughter and slapstick can be heard far away.

Sometimes Ye Jianqiu almost forgot the true identities of these prisoners.

He didn't ask what cases these prisoners came in for. Although he was curious, he didn't ask.

He doesn't want to understand the dark things, he wants to always maintain a sunny state of mind.If these prisoners are reformed here, then he and Chao Ge will not pursue it.Facts have proved that these people are still very obedient, whether Chaoge is on the farm or not, these people did not want to escape or cause trouble, which made him relieved.

If the farm has always existed, then these prisoners will always exist attached to the farm until the end of their lives.For them, this can be regarded as a kind of amnesty - the death penalty has become lifeless.

Ye Jianqiu was not in a hurry to wash up first, but walked to the other side of the road on the soft sand, tore off a few ears of thick corn husks for inspection, and nodded involuntarily.

There is no baldness, the seeds are fine and full, and a milky white juice gushes out when pinched, and the fragrance of sweetness is tangy. This kind of corn has a high content of starch and sugar and can be eaten directly. If it is cooked, it will be even sweeter Waxy and delicious.

These neat rows of corn plants are almost three meters high. The stalks are as thick as sugarcane, the leaves are as long as green swords, and the purple-red overlord roots are like big claws firmly grasping the ground. They are very effective in wind and lodging resistance.

He had never seen this unique corn variety before. The cobs were as big as a half-meter-long shell, and the long corn whiskers were like Dr. Xu's golden beard. Black or purple kernels, immature corn kernels are transparent and full like pure gemstones, and the moisture inside can be clearly seen.

He has ordered that the brightly colored seeds be singled out when they are mature, and will be bred into colored corn in the future.The heavier corn has extremely high phenolic compounds and anthocyanins, and is extremely nutritious. He has already named the future new variety "Black Pearl No. [-]".

He came to the peanut field in the distance again.

Sandy soil is the most suitable for planting peanuts. It is not only drought-resistant and breathable, but also the root needle stage and fruit expansion stage are easier than clay soil, the yield is high, the pests are less, and it is easy to unearth. A mature peanut plant can be picked up by hand , Shake it vigorously, and immediately the leaves and fruits are distinct, clean and free of sand.

The peanuts at this time are in the pod and fruit-full stage, the green leaves are mixed with yellow flowers, and the fruits under the sand layer are squeezed out of the ground.He picked a few at random, and the light hemp-colored shell was very clean, and each pod contained two fruits evenly. When the shell was peeled off, the peanuts inside were round and light pink, sweet and crisp, just like fresh lotus seeds.

Looking around, there are white flowers in the distance, all of which have spit out long flocs. The white cotton is gathered together like a sea of ​​​​clouds. Although a good harvest is in sight, there is very little labor, so the people on the farm can't do it for a day. When I was free, Yinshi started working early with a torch.

A group of people are bending over to pick cotton under the sun. They all wear big straw hats on their heads, face scarves on their faces, and special work clothes with big pockets on their bodies. In the big bag, and then go back and pick again.

Seeing a particularly tall and fat figure among the working crowd, Ye Jianqiu couldn't help but smile. This Cao Wu is quite diligent and never sleeps in. Every day after collecting the stall fee from the market, he drives the carriage himself. According to the report from the farm, it takes one day to work, and only returns at night.

Originally, Chaoge was dissatisfied with Cao Wu's coming here, but seeing that he is a strong laborer of three, and he is honest and obedient, the most important thing is that he has a strict mouth and does not want anything in return, so he just turned a blind eye. Only eyes.It's just that Cao Wu is too stupid, he only knows how to work hard, and he doesn't have the guts to go to the racecourse to find Chaoge. Until now, he hasn't even said a word to Chaoge, and even Ye Jianqiu is secretly worried for him.

There was no one around the sink for washing, and there were only some messy footprints left on the sand.

Ye Jianqiu lowered his head and began to brush his teeth and wash his face. After washing, he tied his hair back, picked up half a piece of aloe vera and wiped it on his face casually. The small herringbone splint puts on the shoes and walks to his tent.

It's a pity that there is no mirror here, and he doesn't know what he looks like now. Although there is a reflection in the water, he still can't see it very carefully. He himself dislikes it.

The field of hope is waiting for them to pour out their youth and blood. Now he is full of indescribable energy and full of expectations for the future.And there are many friends, life is full and happy, the only fly in the ointment is that the lover is not by my side...

Ye Jianqiu pushed open the tent door, and found that Chaoge was already sitting at the desk in the office waiting for him, lowering his head and carefully grabbing the pot of lucky bamboo on the desk.

This big tent was divided into three rooms and two halls by Ye Jianqiu, all of which were separated by a large light blue curtain. The big living room was his office, study room and entertainment room. Most of the group activities at night were played cards in his place.

Since the two of them didn't have a good rest last night, the corners of Chaoge's beautiful eyes were slightly red.

After seeing him enter the door, Chaoge stopped the hand that "harassed" the lucky bamboo, knocked on the table and said: "Those poultry must go into the nest, and the chicken coop must be covered quickly."

Chaoge never talks nonsense, not even a good morning.

"Don't chickens fly up trees?"

Ye Jianqiu was also used to this way of conversation, and sat down with a small washbasin in his arms.

"Autumn and winter are about to enter here. Although the daytime is still hot, the night becomes colder. The day is full of cold and heat. If the chickens and ducks don't enter the nest at night, they will be frozen to death."

Chaoge knows the climate here, and the temperature difference will intensify after entering August.The air here will be drier. The sun is hot during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night. If you put a basin of water in the yard, thick ice will form, but it will melt quickly at noon.

So there is also a local saying in Qingyang - there are four seasons in a year, and winter clothes cannot be separated.

Ye Jianqiu thought about it, picked up the blueprint on the table and looked at it.

These poultry are prepared to be raised free-range in the fruit forest. Not only do they kill insects and eat weeds, but their manure can also be used as fertilizer for the fruit trees.Poultry forages in the woods every day, geese and ducks will find haystacks to lie down at night, and chickens will stay on the branches to rest. They have similar habits to birds.To collect eggs, just go to the woods to pick them up, just like picking up mushrooms.

Originally, Ye Jianqiu thought that raising poultry was the most trouble-free, almost no feed was needed, just a little water was enough, but he didn't expect to have to go into the nest in autumn and winter.

He scratched his head: "Then what should we do? Not only do we have to build a chicken coop, but we also need to keep warm."

"Yes."

"Can old Wangtou do it?"

"Outsiders can't come in."

"What should I do?"

"Let's cover it."

"No, we have too few people and too much work in the fields. If we have to spend all our hands to build chicken coops, I'm afraid it will affect the autumn harvest."

The two talked on the table for a long time, and finally came up with a plan.Although the farmland now matures earlier than ordinary crops, it doesn't look special.But the fruit forest is a big problem, because all the fruit trees that are rare in the area are planted there.

The one closest to the original site of the chicken shed is planted with bananas and sugar palms. This is a fruit tree that even Chaoge has never heard of. Tang Zong was taken aback, he stroked silently for a long time, and also stayed under the tree to watch for a long time.

In the end, they decided to strengthen the cover for those strange fruit trees and use more large nets to cover them layer by layer. It is estimated that there will be no problem.The local farmers don't know anything about this rare fruit tree. Even if they find a strange fruit-bearing tree, they are probably just curious but can't guess the reason.

The chicken shed is actually very simple. It only needs to be stacked with stone slabs and covered with thick straw. It can be completed in at most ten days.

After discussing the chicken coop, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Chao Ge relaxed and faded down, leaning lazily on the back of the armchair covered with thick blankets, naturally put his two long legs on the table, crossed his hands on his stomach and circled his thumbs back and forth, - this The armchair is so comfortable that I want to sleep as soon as I sit on it.

Looking at Chao Ge who was shaking his feet and trying to squint his eyes to sleep, Ye Jianqiu couldn't help but secretly laughed, "The cannon shoots the mosquito, the cannon shoots the mosquito!"A master of kung fu did not travel the world with a sword to see the prosperity of the world, but "reduced" to become a countryman, worrying about building chicken coops every day...

"What are you laughing at?"

Chaoge frowned impatiently.

"Nothing, hehe..."

"There's nothing to laugh about!"

"Hehe, it's really nothing..."

"Ye Jianqiu!"

"To!"

"To shut up!"

"Yes! Hehe..."

Chaoge has a headache.He can't shake Ye Jianqiu anymore, the more he loses his temper, the happier she is.

"Ye Jianqiu, you can't sleep on the ground from now on."

"why?"

Chao Geteng retracted his legs and sat up straight, slapped the table, and snorted: "Didn't I just say that it will be cold at night from now on! Chickens will freeze to death, won't you die?"

Ye Jianqiu was dissatisfied: "If you care about others, can't you change your way of speaking?" My heart that is always so straightforward can't bear it.

"How to change?"

"Xiaoqiu, the sky is going to get cold, you can't sleep on the ground, be careful of the wind and cold..."

Chao Ge blushed and turned her head: "Disgusting!"

Ye Jianqiu let out a "poof" laugh, and Chao Ge became more angry, his eyes became brighter, his pretty face was still pink, he must have looked like a ginseng doll with a red bellyband when he was a child, it's really interesting.

"Chaoge, you have to be careful of catching a cold, don't rely on your youth and firepower, always don't wear clothes, it's indecent..."

"Crap!"

After he had played enough, Chao Ge said: "You sit down first, I'll go and change clothes."

"Grow a few more pots of charcoal fire at night!"

Chaoge shouted at his back.The tent doesn't have thick brick walls to resist the cold. If there is no charcoal fire, this guy will definitely freeze to death!

I don't know who is more verbose!Ye Jianqiu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers to indicate receipt, humming a song and came to the bedroom behind the curtain.

Through the curtain, one can still clearly see the figure inside. He quickly untied the nightgown and threw it aside. With a smooth waist and narrow hips, he wore the clothes with his head bowed, and trousers bent over...

Chao Ge silently turned his face away, gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Jianqiu, the farm has recruited thieves!"

"what?!"

Ye Jianqiu pulled up his trousers and ran out from behind the curtain in a hurry, with a panicked look on his face.

"how is this possible?"

Chaoge said that wherever black eagles haunt, fierce beasts within a radius of a hundred miles will stay away.If it was a human being, it would be even more impossible. Even black eagles and beasts could frighten them, wouldn't it be a problem for human beings?And if it is an ordinary person, how can they pass the Liusha River, which is full of human-eating black tiger fish!

Seeing that he couldn't believe it, Chao Ge said with certainty: "It is true that the thief did it, but he just stole some fruits and corn. No one was involved in the livestock pen, and not a single animal was lost."

Ye Jianqiu had heard rumors of the thief, who was said to be invisible, and seemed to be one of the supernatural beings, but the other party only stole the big family in Qingyang, why did the farm also attract the thief?

Chao Ge still said angrily: "Stealing is stealing. What's annoying is that even eating and taking some fruits are thrown away after just one bite. The ground is a mess! It's too wasteful, shameful and hateful!"

"A monkey did it, right? I heard there are ghost-faced monkeys here."

"Impossible! No matter what kind of monkey it is, Black Hawk can't miss it!"

"What should I do?"

"do not know."

Ye Jianqiu frowns, if Hei Ying can't stand it, then the farm will become someone's back garden, come and go whenever you want.It hurts to think of those spoiled fruits. What if someone gets tired of playing the fruit-slicing game and wants to kill someone to play?

Moreover, this matter cannot be reported to the officials, and even Catcher Yang can't do anything about it.

When Chao Ge found out that a stranger had invaded, he immediately called out Black Eagle, but Black Eagle behaved very strangely. He just squeezed his hand to comfort him gently, as if saying that it was all right, it was just a joke.Could it be that the thief and Black Hawk made friends?This is too strange, Black Hawk's temper is not good...

Looking at Ye Jianqiu's frowning little face, Chao Ge felt secretly refreshed, let him be afraid!Who made him keep smiling!
