Qingshan Reservoir, built about 40 years ago.

The reservoir is not very large, and when the reservoir has a dam, the area of the water surface is less than 50 acres. The dam fell into disrepair, collapsed more than a decade ago, and now, only a pond of less than two acres remains.

Only the reservoir is contracted, 50,000 in 20 years. Together with the surrounding barren mountains, 200,000.

The barren mountains around the Qingshuigou Reservoir cover an area of one or two hundred acres, and Ye Chen is ready to contract them all.

When the fourth uncle came back for breakfast, they went to the village chief's house together.

The village chief is Ye Chen's uncle. The eldest son of his grandfather's own brother......

"Uncle, auntie. When he arrived at the village chief's house, Ye Chen shouted.

"Alas, Ye Chen, come in and sit. The village chief poured Ye Chen a cup of tea and said, "I heard that the fourth brother said that you want to contract the reservoir." ”

"Hmm. ”

"The dam collapsed for more than ten years, and it is not easy to repair it now. In addition, the flood broke the dam and flooded a lot of fertile land. If you want to build a dam, you are allowed to raise it up to one metre above the water level. As you know, our farming in Mengshan doesn't actually rely on reservoirs. Natural rainfall is basically sufficient. "There is a lot of rain in Mengshan, and even the ladder is not short of water.

"If I were contracted, I would only be going to reinforce the dam. I don't have the money to rebuild the dam. ”

"The rest is the matter of the Qingshuigou wasteland, how about the reservoir extending upwards to the waterfall?"

Ye Chen glared, so the area was not small. The Qingshuigou Reservoir extends into an uninhabited forest, the boundary of the village, and a small waterfall upstream of the Qingshuigou. Coupled with the barren mountains on both sides, the area is more than ten times larger than Ye Chen originally thought. It is a mountain that has not been cultivated and developed, and it is not a forest, but at most there are some shrubs, so it can be called a barren mountain.

Shimizu Village is probably an oblique rectangle. In the middle of the rectangle is a small mountain trough, the Qingshui River originates in the southwest direction, flows into the mountain trough through the reservoir, and the middle of the mountain trough meanders and flows. The village is north to the end, north of the tea mountain. The southern section of the village is bounded by a large mountain that enters the trough......

Heavy rainfall in Mengshan. It turned out that the forests were all over the place, and they had already been cut down in the collective years, some of them became terraced fields, and some of them became wasteland. The terraces and wastelands are mainly concentrated in the north, and in one direction of the reservoir. The valley where the reservoir is located is also full of barren mountains. If the reservoir reaches the wasteland on both sides of the waterfall, it probably adds up to more than 1,000 acres.

Ye Chen nodded hurriedly.

The uncle smiled and took out the land contract and the signed consent of some of the villagers. The contract price of the barren mountain on this side of Mengshan is 15 to 20 yuan per mu (one year). But on the side of Qingshangou, the location is more remote, there are barren mountains, and it is estimated that it is only 10 to 15 yuan per mu (one year). contracted to Ye Chen, 200,000, Ye Chen's one-time payment, can only be regarded as a small bargain.

In fact, the country's existing policy of reclamation of barren mountains and wastelands is based on the principle that whoever reclaims it benefits from it. I have a contract and I have a solid heart.

I signed the contract, drove to the town, and went to the township government for the record. After finishing these, it was noon, Ye Chen had a treat, there was an uncle, a fourth uncle, and by the way, he called his father and fourth uncle over and had a meal in the restaurant. As for Ye Chen's mother, she wants to see the shop. My aunt had a heat stroke yesterday, and she was resting at home today, and her mother was alone in the store.

"Tea mountain, reservoir, land, what's the plan behind?"

"Fortify the dam first. By the way, uncle, if I want to build two cement roads, one to the reservoir and the other to the top of Chashan Mountain, can I apply for government subsidies?" Ye Chen poured juice for the elders and said.

"Personally, no. But in the name of the village, about 50 percent of the subsidy. Do you want to build a road, have you made a big move?" said the uncle with a smile. There is not much in Qingshui Village, but there are many fields, many barren mountains. If the village wants to be truly prosperous, it still needs to have a leader.

"If you help Zhang Luo Luo again, can you get more subsidies? Ye Chen replaced the wine with juice and toasted the uncle. He didn't say anything about the plan behind him, the plan behind him is that there is no plan, take one step at a time.

"Okay, I'll help you run errands and try to get you that. ”

After eating, Ye Chen sent the fourth uncle and uncle back to the village, and then took a look at the old house.

Bungalows with yards.

There is a date tree and a peach tree in the yard.

The dates are not ripe, and the peaches are edible.

The peaches on the trees are sparse, not big or sweet. Mengshan has a lot of rain and climate, which is not suitable for growing fruits.

Ye Chen picked a peach, pressed the well water out of the old well water press, washed the peach, and tasted it. The taste is average, and compared to the peaches in the space, it is 108,000 miles away.

Turning his head, several children were lying at the door, looking at Ye Chen.

"Do you eat peaches?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

One of the bold little boys nodded: "Eat." ”

"Come in. Ye Chen beckoned, picked peaches from the tree, distributed them to them, and then pressed the well water to let the children wash the peaches.

"Brother Ye Chen, are you going to catch fish?" Ye Xing walked over.

"It's such a hot sun, where to catch fish. ”

"In the paddy field. I went down to the cage yesterday and went to collect it. ”

"Go wow. Ye Chen smiled and nodded.

Ye Xing's family has more than a dozen acres of paddy fields and three fish ponds. Paddy fields are also rice fields......

The fish in the fish pond pursue economic benefits, feed feed, and the meat is rough and not as delicious as the naturally growing fish. The seedling field under Ye Xingxia is a perennial water storage field, and rice is planted in it......

Most of the fish inside are crucian carp and carp, some large and some small.

Rice fish are generally stocked after transplanting, and fish are caught in the field when the rice is headed. It is famous for its unique flavor when the rice is eaten by the fish when it blooms. The fish in the paddy field, which is stored all year round, can grow very large......

The ground cage that Ye Xing laid yesterday can be collected in the past.

The first ground cage was put away with more than a dozen catties of fish, crucian carp, carp and two small silver carp. The silver carp was too small and was put back.

"I heard that the fourth uncle bought you a house?" Ye Chen asked.

"Ready to buy, haven't bought yet. Ye Xing glanced at Chen Hui, he planned to use the money to do business, and Chen Hui was also supportive, but Chen Hui's parents wanted to have a house in the city, and the house was okay in Mengshan Town.

Ye Chen wanted to help Ye Xing, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak.

There were three ground cages in total, two buckets of fish were put away, and Ye Chen carried one bucket. It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when I went back to Qingshan Town......

Ye's father and uncle finished delivering the goods early, and they were watching the shop, and Ye Chen's mother was playing cards in the mahjong parlor next door.

"Dad, little uncle. Ye Chen lifted the fish down.

"So many fish. The little uncle took a look, helped to bring it to the kitchen, and took a large basin.

At this time, the temperature is hot, and there is not much business in the shop. Dad Ye also walked in: "There are so many fish, choose a few to send to your Uncle Zhao." ”

"Which Uncle Zhao?"

"Which other ......" Father Ye slapped Ye Chen's head and said, "You said that other people's daughters are good this morning, but forget about them now." ”

"Oh, oh. The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched: "That, rush over, won't it be good." ”

"What's good or not, be bold in chasing girls. Didn't you contact Xiao Zhao's daughter today...... I really don't know what to say about you. "Dad Ye hated that iron could not be made of steel, so he helped pick out the best crucian carp, eleven, seven or eight catties.

The little uncle watched happily next to him and said, "Your father is right, man, it's okay to be thick-skinned." Thick-skinned can eat meat, thin-skinned can't eat, take out a little manly spirit. ”

"Yes, yes, that's right. Dad Ye looked at Ye Chen seriously, but his tone was a little weird. The little uncle who was standing next to him suddenly burst out laughing......

What's the situation? Ye Chen looked confused.

The little uncle covered his chest and couldn't stop laughing: "I went out to see the store." ”

Dad Ye picked up the phone with a chuckle and called Zhao Xiaofu: "Xiao Zhao, are you off work?" ”

"After work, I came out for a barbecue in the evening. ”

"Not today, I'm going to have a cart of beer delivered later, and I'm going to watch it. Ye Chen went back to the countryside today, and came back with more than 20 catties of fish from his fourth father, and if he couldn't finish eating, I asked him to send it to you. ”

Uncle Zhao is also a smart person, and when he heard it, he knew that Ye Chen had a crush on his daughter. The daughter is the father's intimate little padded jacket, but the daughter grows up and will marry sooner or later. Actually, Ye Chen is also good, mainly Ye Qingshan's son. Ye Qingshan's character, I believe that his son will not be too bad......

"Yes. Then I left work early. ”

"Well, we'll meet again another day. Ye Dad hung up the phone as he spoke, brought the fish to Ye Chen, and then went to the supermarket to get two Chinese, two cartons of milk, and two bottles of Wu Niang liquid......

Ye Chen looked at so many things, took out his wallet, and asked with a wry smile, "Can I swipe the card?"

"You're slapping your little uncle in the face, aren't you? Remember what your little uncle told you, you can eat meat with thick skin, and you can't eat with thin skin. ”
