Chapter Twenty-Nine: Contracting Pheasant Ridge 3

If it weren't for Zhou Hu shouting excitedly on the side, Zhou Yu would definitely think that he was in a beautiful dream, what kind of scene is this!

In the distance, a few white clouds floated lazily in the clear blue sky, and below the white clouds was a gentle and vast sea of colorful flowers.

The surging Bai Lian in the farthest distance is the Langgu River that nourishes Zhoujia Village, and next to this Bai Lian is a large golden lotus, shaped like a bowl lotus, and the leaves are green and yellow. The milky yellow flowers are blooming, the mountain breeze is blowing, like a group of butterflies flying, and like the stars shining on this lonely land on a summer night.

The golden lotus is called the outer "plug outside the dragon well", and the folk also have the saying that "rather taste three flowers, do not drink two or two teas". After brewing, not only the tea is clear and bright, but also has a faint fragrance. At the same time, nasturtium also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing the liver and brightening the eyes and refreshing.

They may not look as gorgeous as a cuckoo, nor as elegant as a peony. But it decorates this black land with simplicity and unpretentiousness, bringing a vibrant scene to this land, which is refreshing!

In the middle of this sea of flowers are rows of wild roses. The red is better than the fire, the pink is like the sun, and the white is white and elegant......

They are not as graceful and rich as peonies; It's not as fragrant as osmanthus; Not like chrysanthemums standing proudly, they just bloom to their heart's content, blooming with their own true beauty.

From the sea of wild chrysanthemums to the top of the mountain, there is an endless fragrance of nightshade, a sweet fragrance that is elegant and misty, and an ethereal and elegant bloom with a soft atmosphere. The fragrance of flowers hits, like a breeze flying towards the endless sky......

Standing on the hill, looking at the endless sea of flowers, smelling the intoxicating fragrance, Zhou Yu was stupid and drunk. These wildflowers are rooted deep in the mountains, they are not as striking as peonies, nor are they as famous as the Monarch Orchid, but they give their only fragrance to the people of this black land.

Turning his head at some point, Zhou Yu found that the three elders were already standing behind him, with a look of pride in their eyes. And Zhou Hu next to him is still intoxicated in this sea of flowers, not to mention that the pot lid has a different kind of beauty against the backdrop of wild flowers in the mountains.

"Ergouzi, are you fascinated? How's that, this place is still eye-catching, right? Not to mention that you have never been here in a big city, even if I, your grandfather and your father, these native old farmers, can't help but look at it for a while every time we come here, this sea of flowers is God's gift to our Zhoujia Village! Zhou Dingbang said with emotion.

"Third uncle, how did this place become so beautiful? I remember when I was a child, wasn't this a place where cattle and sheep were herded in our village? Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.

Zhou Dingbang smiled, "What you said is the old yellow calendar, when you were young, this was indeed a place where the villagers grazed, at that time, this place was full of green grass and only a small part of the wildflowers." But eleven years ago, there was an ant plague here, which destroyed all the pastures here, and because it was not possible to make a lot of money from herding sheep at that time, the big guys sold all the sheep and stopped raising them.

Later, everyone found that although the grass here was plagued by ants, but those wild flowers were not damaged at all, everyone discussed simply turning this place into a big garden, so as long as the villagers were free, they either came here to transplant or sprinkle seeds everywhere, and after a few years, there was this sea of flowers all over the mountains.

Originally, the big guy wanted to plant wildflowers in the clearing on the surrounding mountains, so it was pleasant to look at, didn't it? Who knows that these wildflowers can't live at all on the hills elsewhere, only this pheasant can grow in the southern slope of the mountain to the river, and the flowering period is particularly long, how can there be a flowering period of three or four months. ”

Under Zhou Dingbang's explanation, Zhou Yu finally understood the beginning and end of the matter, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

Several people continued to shuttle in the sea of flowers, and under the leadership of Zhou Hu, they came to a place halfway up the mountain.

This is a relatively gentle lot with more than 20 acres in a prescription circle, and there is a small stream gushing down from the Phoenix Mountain behind it. To Zhou Yu's delight, there are dozens of relatively thick trees in this place, although they are not too straight, they can still play a role in sheltering from the rain. Due to the shade of large trees, there are not many wildflowers here, and there are many open spaces between trees.

Near the center there are two large ponds, and the incredible thing is that there are two large bamboo pipes with thick mouths from the upper reaches of the stream to the upper part of the two ponds, supported by wooden shelves in the middle, and the stream water flows into the ponds along the bamboo pipes, and there is an overflow on the south side of the ponds, and the clear spring water flows continuously into the sea of flowers below.

Looking at this frightened design, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smack his tongue, Comrade Zhou Dabiao is not simple, it is not easy to find this place suitable for breeding and planting in this boundless sea of flowers, as for the method of leading the stream water into the pond, what kind of head does it have to come up with such a method?

Zhou Hu followed and said with a smug face: "Brother Ergou, brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?" This place is the best fit for your requirements, fish farming and cultivation are all covered. At the beginning, it took a lot of effort for Brother Da Biao to find such a good place. See those shelves with bamboo pipes? That's what I can do for Brother Da Biao. When the time comes, you build two houses here, and you can raise two ponds of fish in it, and all the vegetables will be planted in the open space around it, and you can even raise some ducks and geese, and there will be a stream next to it, and then you can just drive these ducks and geese into the stream, and you don't have to bother to take care of them. ”

Zhou Yu rubbed his hands vigorously, and said loudly in the expectant eyes of several elders: "It's done, it's this place!" Third uncle, I'll call Brother Da Biao to say goodbye, and then I'll go to the village committee to sign the contract, and this area of dozens of acres will belong to me in the future. ”

Zhou Dingguo patted his son and said heartily: "Boy, work hard, Lao Tzu supports you, I will help you and your mother clean up this place when you go back, and strive to sow the seeds as soon as possible, maybe there will be a harvest this year." ”

The old lady also took the lead and said: "Ergouzi, you do a good job, the prince also supports you, maybe your kid can really do some tricks, and the prince will follow you to enjoy the happiness when the time comes!" ”

Everyone talked and laughed back to the village, Zhou Yu immediately, immediately called Zhou Biao, the big Biao brother on the other end of the phone heard that the second brother was so busy and agreed without hesitation, and then Zhou Yu came to the village committee and the third uncle and Accountant Zhang contracted a radius of 70 acres of land on the southern slope of the pheasant ridge for 30 years, and the rent was 7,000 yuan a year.

So far, Zhou Yu has completely embarked on the life of taking root in the mountain village.
