Ye Quan's favorite drink is rice milk oil tea, especially the pot sticking to the bottom of the tea pot, in Ye Quan's eyes, it is one of the most delicious foods in the world, but this kind of oil tea has to be soaked in rice a day in advance, and a special sand bowl is used to grind rice milk, even Cao Shuyun is too troublesome, and rarely does it at home. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

Now that Ye Quan has a lot of time, he wants to satisfy his appetite.

Ye Quan first ground one or two rice soaked yesterday into rice milk with a sand bowl and a small wooden hammer, then put a little oil in the tea pot, stir-fried the tea leaves left over from the bitter tea, and then poured in the rice milk, and then put in his favorite ingredients and appropriate amount of condiments after boiling.

After drinking two large bowls of rice milk tea, Ye Quan began to tidy up the house and make plans to live for a long time.

Under the eaves of the main house, Ye Quan found that his nest of swallows had not yet returned to the south, and two large, three small and five swallows were shuttling back and forth from time to time.

Perhaps attracted by the aura on Ye Quan's body, a little swallow was not afraid of people at all, flew to the table in front of him, and stared at him curiously.

The baby swallow is apparently just an adult, with black feathers, a white belly, and a yellowish beak.

Ye Quan was about to reach out to stroke it, when the parents of the little swallow above his head called a few times, and the little swallow flapped his wings, soared into the sky, and flew to the edge of the nest.

In the past, Ye Quan's main house lived in four nests of swallows, and later moved to Yue'an City, I don't know if the house was uninhabited, too deserted, or other reasons, there were three nests of swallows slowly disappeared, only one nest is still nesting here.

Swallows mainly feed on mosquitoes and flies, is a kind of beneficial bird, likes to live in the eaves of the house, the corner of the building or the beams of the house, likes to get close to human beings the most, people also love this bird, happy to let the swallow settle down in their own house, give birth to children, and think that it is auspicious, blessed thing, and often warn children not to hurt the little swallow, is the best example of harmony between humans and animals.

For the flight of swallows, the Chinese have a misunderstanding since ancient times, swallows return in spring, late autumn fly away, northerners naturally think that swallows fly to the south, that is, South China for the winter.

But in fact, Ye Quan's hometown is in the south, including the surrounding four or five provinces and regions belonging to the south, and the swallows also flew in February and March, and flew away around September, so the southerners thought that the swallows flew to the north.

Northerners think that swallows go to the south, and southerners think that swallows go to the north, so where do swallows go in winter?

The answer is that the swallows have gone abroad, breeding in the northern hemisphere in the spring and migrating south in the winter, and the south here does not refer to the south of China, but to the southern hemisphere.

Ornithologists have found that during the wintering period, swallows not only spread throughout Southeast Asia, but also as far as northern Australia and eastern Africa.

In China's Yunxi Province, Tiannan Province and Baodao Province, it is said that a small number of swallows will spend the winter, but it has not been confirmed.

In the afternoon, Ye Quan tidied up the land in the vegetable garden, loosened the soil with a hoe, pulled out wild vegetables and weeds, and planted some seasonal vegetable seeds.

After Ye Quan used up the seeds he bought, he tried to plant the seeds produced in the space, and after a period of practice, he had found that the seeds produced in the space were much better than the seeds from the outside world, both in terms of quality and yield.

Now, except for the varieties that have no space, he no longer spends money on seeds, but in the outside world, whether he can maintain this characteristic, Ye Quan himself is not too sure, so he wants to try it in his own vegetable garden first.

In September, autumn has begun, and there are not many vegetables that can be grown, so Ye Quan only tidied up a quarter of the vegetable garden, divided it into pieces, and planted some garlic, coriander, leeks, chives, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, white radishes, and Chinese cabbage.

Naturally, the village cadres were responsible for the fund-raising, and Ye Quan only had to pay for it, so he called the greenhouse construction company and asked the other party to send someone to build the greenhouse.

Ye Quan chose the vegetable planting base in the old temple hill, where it is not far from the village, only three or four miles away, because there was a land temple in the past, the area adds up to almost hundreds of acres, the most important is close to the water source, there is a small river flowing from the bottomless pool of Zhushan, the water quality is excellent, it can be used to water the vegetables.

Taoyuan Village has few paddy fields, which was very precious in the past, and when family planning was very strict, the overborn population could not divide the land, but there was so much dry land that it did not cost money.

Like Ye Quan's house has six or seven pieces of dry land, but the area is large and small, the distance is far and near, except for the old temple hill has eight acres of dry land, other distances are more dry land Ye Mingchang has been planted with cedar trees.

The oldest of these cedar trees has been planted for 30 years, and the least has 12 years, and they have all become mature, and when Ye Mingchang returned to his hometown for the New Year last year, he sold a batch, and the price was not low.

Ye Quan planned to build a greenhouse on the relatively flat dry land of the old temple hill, and the other 80 acres of hillside land would be enclosed into an orchard.

The land here belongs to seven or eight households in the village, and Ye Quan set a high rent of 600 to 800 yuan per mu a year according to the specific situation, and signed a 20-year agreement with the farmers.

After paying the rent for the first three years on the spot, and after getting the agreement, Ye Quan asked Ye Xinlong to buy a batch of building materials such as cement, sand, and bricks, and asked Ye Mingcheng to hire someone from the village to work and build a building next to the base for living and working, and other things such as leveling the land, digging a ditch, and building a cement road connecting the planting base also had to be done.

After the base is completed, Ye Quan also plans to build a cold storage to store vegetables, but now there is no bridge, and it will take some time before the vegetables are produced, so he can only postpone it.

In Taoyuan Village, everyone is related to each other, there is something to ask someone to help for a day or two, there is wine and meat to entertain on the line, more than two days, naturally to get paid, generally men dry body lì a day to live about seventy or eighty yuan, women are forty or fifty yuan, the host also has to pack one or two meals.

Because Ye Quan is alone at home and does not include three meals, so the salary is set at 120 yuan a day, originally Ye Quan wanted to open a higher salary, but Ye Mingcheng persuaded him, thinking that the salary is too high will cause some disputes, and he can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month without going far away, even if he eats his own, he will make a lot of money.

With the addition of the two stores and the supply of Yihua Zhai, Ye Quan's average net income now exceeds 20,000 yuan per day, and it is 6 or 700,000 yuan a month.

Of course, Ye Quan can't stuff money directly, so he can only use methods such as workmanship and driving everyone to plant, so that everyone's wallet is getting more and more bulging.

The people of Taoyuan Village first heard that Ye Quan had become a big boss and donated 1.5 million yuan to build roads and bridges, and then they wanted to build a planting base in the village and hire people to work, and the salary was 100 yuan a day!

In the countryside just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a lot of farm work to do, such as peanuts, sweet potatoes and corn are almost ripe, fruits such as citrus and pears have to be picked, and wheat, cabbage, radishes and lettuce are sown.

But the salary of one hundred and twenty yuan a day may not be available in Pingjiang Township, even the master may not be able to get it, let alone a small worker, and those who can squeeze out the spare time have all been dispatched, and they have found Ye Quan.

Ye Quan pushed these things to Ye Mingcheng, and asked Ye Mingcheng to shorten the daily working hours and invite more people, especially those who have difficulties at home, but there can only be one per household, so that more people can be helped, fortunately, there are a lot of things, almost all the young and middle-aged people in the village have a share, and there are many women among them, they are eighty yuan a day, which is also thirty or forty yuan higher than the previous market.

There are only more than 100 households in Taoyuan Village, and Ye Quan invited more than 40 people, except for some who have no free time, almost every other household has one, which can be regarded as a great joy.
