Chapter 22 Spiritual Bamboo Rat
Chu Jiaqiang didn't join in the fun, he went to the valley to have a look, preparing for reclamation the day after tomorrow, hoeing and ploughing the ground is very necessary. The valley is a gentle slope with a sunny and shady face, which is a great place for fruit growth.
Chu Jiaqiang found that there is all paving grass here, this kind of grass does not grow tall, only one finger long, and the growth cycle is also very long, even in winter, this kind of grass will not wither.
Seeing this situation, Chu Jiaqiang changed his mind, anyway, this grass will not affect the growth of fruits, he has spiritual water, and he is not afraid that they will rob him of nutrients, so don't give it away. There are also advantages to keeping, the first one is beautiful, it looks like a green grass carpet; Second, it can keep the ecology from being damaged and prevent soil erosion.
He plans to dig a pit where he needs to plant fruit trees the day after tomorrow, loosen the soil in that small area, and then plant the fruit seedlings directly, which is both labor-saving and worry-free.
"Plant grapes all around, build a circular grape trellis corridor, and plant other fruits in the middle." Chu Jiaqiang muttered to himself.
After having a plan in his heart, Chu Jiaqiang did not linger any longer. On the way back, I found another problem. Because the valley is on the other side of the reservoir, you have to go around the reservoir to get to the valley, which is quite troublesome. He looked at the island in the middle of the reservoir and had another plan in mind.
"Alas! It seems that you have to pay to open the way for everything! Chu Jiaqiang thought that his money was not enough at all, and it seemed that it was impossible to build a wooden bridge in the reservoir for the time being.
The wooden bridge leads from the beach to the island, which serves as a buffer point, and from the island to the valley. In between, there are more than 100 meters of water surface passing through, and a lot of wood alone has to be used. In addition, the depth of this reservoir is five or six meters, and it is not easy to drive piles.
In fact, building a wooden bridge is not only for convenience, but also for sightseeing and the rational development of the island. When the time comes, it will be beautiful to build a few pavilions on the island.
"Take your time! You can't become fat by eating in one bite. Chu Jiaqiang said in his heart, there are enough things at the moment, and there is no need to look for trouble. The matter of building a bridge will be annoyed in the future, and now it is also powerless.
When I returned home, it was past five o'clock, and the second uncle had not come back yet. Chu Jiaqiang took care of the housework, and this was the first time he cooked when he returned to his hometown.
When it was almost six o'clock, the people who entered the mountain came back, and one by one they seemed to return with a full load, with large bags and small bags on their backs. They concentrated on the second uncle's house, and they still bought it first, and it was more reassuring to get the money.
The three people of the second uncle's family picked up a total of more than 20 catties, basically picked up by the second uncle and the second aunt, Chu Jiawan's girl felt fresh at first, but then the figure disappeared, it is difficult to expect her to do much.
There are many other people, many even break thirty catties, and some have more than ten catties, which shows that Zhushan knows the richness of the shell, and I don't know how many years it has been accumulated. Of course, it can't be piled up for too long, after all, it is easy to corrode when exposed to sun and rain.
In the end, I calculated it, a total of more than 600 catties, and it was directly piled up in a room. The 20,000 that was originally taken out to give Chu Jiaqiang was only about 3,000 left. Many people got as many as seven or eight hundred, and as few as two or three hundred, much to their surprise, they left happily one by one, preparing to get up early tomorrow, and then go to the mountains for a walk, this kind of good thing is so cool, easy and sure.
The second uncle was frightened, and asked Chu Jiaqiang again and again if this thing was really valuable and could be sold. If it can't be sold, it will be miserable. In Chujiazhai, one or two thousand is not easy to mix, and it is difficult to accumulate without two or three years.
"Big brother! I heard that you planted fruit trees the day after tomorrow. It's not a small valley, so I'll help out when the time comes! Chu Jiaxiong left the checkout to his daughter-in-law, and he kept chatting with Chu Jiaqiang.
"Huh! I'm looking for someone to help, it's okay for you to come, but my salary here is not high, give you 100 yuan a day, not as high as you go to pick up the shell! Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
"Big brother! What is our relationship? Doesn't it hurt my feelings to talk to me about money? Just take care of the food, if I take the money, what do people say about us? I can't get over it myself. Although Chu Jiaxiong has developed limbs and a simple mind, he attaches great importance to righteousness, which is also a point that Chu Jiaqiang has always been optimistic about.
"Okay, don't say anything, if it were usual, I wouldn't take the money to talk about things, but I just happened to run into the shell thing, it is estimated that everyone can still pick it up for a few days, and it is not easy to talk if I catch you as a free laborer. And brothers, settle accounts! Listen to me, it's best to mention this to your parents. Chu Jiaqiang analyzed reasonably.
Chu Jiaxiong didn't speak, thinking that he would just take it when the time came. This guy is also a dead cow, and his brother's money will not be accepted, and he will not ask for it if he is killed. He had already told his family, and his parents agreed with it. However, the people in the family think more than him, thinking that Chu Jiaqiang is a person who does great things, and it must be right to follow him.
"Brother! Look at this bamboo rat, it's so cute! It's actually yellow, and it's the first time I've seen it. Chu Jiawan grabbed a yellow bamboo rat and walked over. This girl chased the bamboo rat all afternoon, and finally the bamboo rat ran into the hole and did not dare to come out. Chu Jiawan immediately gathered a large group of children and forced the bamboo rats out with cigarettes.
Chu Jiaqiang looked at it and was a little surprised. This bamboo rat is bigger than the average, like the size of a rabbit, two round ears shake from time to time, bony eyes reveal an aura, a large tooth in front of it is exposed, the cold light is shining, and the whole body is covered with yellow plush. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful handicraft.
The bamboo rat, which was struggling desperately, actually quieted down after seeing Chu Jiaqiang, and looked at Chu Jiaqiang curiously with two eyes.
"Oops! Brother, this little thing is not afraid of you! Chu Jiawan said in surprise.
"Hmmm! This bamboo rat is very precious and very spiritual. Bamboo rats are generally gray, golden yellow is extremely rare, and even fewer are spiritual. Ever heard of Treasure Hunt Rats? That's what it says. Chu Jiaqiang let go and stroked the bamboo rat.
"Big brother be careful, this thing is not a joke, if you bite it, you will break a section of your finger." Chu Jiaxiong immediately reminded. When Chu Jiawan caught this bamboo rat, he also helped, and saw with his own eyes that this little thing gnawing on bamboo was like eating.
The bamboo rat enjoyed Chu Jiaqiang's touch very much, and actually closed his eyes. This scene surprised everyone around them, and they didn't understand how Chu Jiaqiang tamed this bamboo rat.
"Brother! How do you do it? This bamboo rat is fierce, it bites people when it sees them, strange! Why didn't they bite you? Chu Jiawan tilted her head in thought.
"Huh! This bamboo rat has spirituality, as long as you don't have unfavorable thoughts about it, it can feel it, and naturally it won't bite. Let it go! It's a pity to stew and eat such a strange thing. Chu Jiaqiang said.
His words made the adults present feel incomprehensible, but Chu Jiawan understood Chu Jiaqiang's intentions and obediently released the bamboo rat. Who knew that this bamboo rat did not slip away, but ran to Chu Jiaqiang's feet, squatted down on his two hind legs, stood up, looked at Chu Jiaqiang, chirping, and seemed to be talking to Chu Jiaqiang, but no one could understand.
"Big brother, this little thing seems to be relying on you not to leave." Chu Jiaxiong stared at two eyes as big as bull's eyes.
"Whatever it is!" Chu Jiaqiang smiled bitterly.
