This is a canyon of two or three hundred meters with a radius of 100 acres, backed by mountains, with snow-covered waterfalls flowing downstream, and the mouth of the valley is only more than 20 meters long.

At this time, many people are constantly raising the embankment at the mouth of the valley, the material is the surrounding loess, plus some grass and wood ash, directly fill in and then smash the porcelain.

The reason why plant ash is added is mainly to prevent small animals such as eels and rats that like to burrow.

The lieutenant should have already received the news of Yang Wenhua's arrival, and he was coming from a distance at this time, with a fat face huddled tightly together, showing great happiness.

Although Yang Wenhua clearly told the lieutenant chief that he could not shelter him, two days after the lieutenant went back, he came to tell Yang Wenhua that he was still willing to run errands for Yang Wenhua and do something.

So Yang Wenhua handed over all the land outside the trap area and belonged to the mountain gate to the lieutenant chief to take care of, and the first thing was to build a dam to get this reservoir out.

Although the snow on the mountain has melted at this time, the reservoir also stores water six or seven meters deep, and with the groundwater in the mountain, it should be able to store it to a depth of ten meters before the drought hits.

With the regulation of this small reservoir, Yangjia Village and the surrounding areas can also strengthen their resilience to floods and droughts in the future.

"Sir, you're here."

Looking at the smiling lieutenant chief, Yang Wenhua nodded, "Well, what's going on?" ”

"It's all good, the dam will be completed in two days, the fry will come out, and when it gets bigger, it will be ready to be put into the reservoir."

Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, rye, leeks, peppers, some have sprouted, some have grown.

More than 200 piglets have been acquired, more than 20 large sows, thousands of duck eggs, and many rabbits.

Everything is very good, that is, the grain is consumed very quickly, and now it has been exchanged for more than 100,000 loads of grain, but fortunately, now that the spring ploughing is over, the expenditure of grain has been greatly reduced. ”

Yang Wenhua rode a horse, walked forward, shook his head and said: "It's not enough, forget about the pigs, this year's feed is not enough, just have some pigs to breed."

However, eggs, duck eggs, and more efforts to buy, and some more prices are fine, rabbits can also increase the price to charge more. ”

Coming to the place where the sweet potato seedlings were raised, Yang Wenhua looked at the growth of the sweet potato.

Looking at this size of sweet potato seedling field, Yang Wenhua couldn't help but sigh, although the sweet potato is good, it is too wasteful of time to carry the sweet potato seeds, and it can only be slowly promoted year after year.

When he came to the place where rye was planted, Yang Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief, the time for rye to transport seeds was about the same as that of sweet potatoes, but it could be planted for dozens of acres.

In a five-mile radius of land, Yang Wenhua plans to plant the most peppers, because it is convenient to carry seeds and cost-effective.

Although other crops have high yields, due to the inconvenience of seed handling, Yang Wenhua does not plan to plant much, mainly to cultivate a seed, so that it can be promoted in the coming year.

Yang Wenhua wandered around the field for a while, until he met a group of people who sent wild boars, remembered the children he had just met, and asked the chief:

"Didn't I say earlier that people who work here can bring their children over for dinner, why did I meet some children from Yangjia Village today, but they didn't have anything to eat?"

"It's not that the little ones don't let those children come, it's that they really don't have a good thing, and at first it's better, as many children come to eat as many adults as they do here.

But after a few days, they brought all the children of the whole family over, and after a few days, they brought all the children of their village.

In the end, children who didn't know each other also came to pick up the bargain, and there were several times more children eating than adults, and many of them were from other villages. ”

The lieutenant felt very aggrieved, and he helped you save food, but he didn't do it right.

Yang Wenhua was a little speechless when he heard it, sure enough, good people can't do it, everything still has to have rules, although these people are relatively simple, they are still a little shrewd.

Yang Sanmei was stunned for a while, and immediately shouted, "Then how much food will we eat, arrest them back, and let them lose money." ”

Yang Wenhua smiled when he heard it.

This laugh made the third sister angry, and then kept complaining about Yang Wenhua, this is not good, that is not right, and keeps nagging.

Yang Wenhua was depressed, and began to reflect on himself, whether it was a wrong decision to give the tablet to the third sister to teach herself.

"Let's go watch kill the pig, let's bring some pork ribs back later, I'll make you sweet and sour pork ribs to eat, okay?"

Yang Wenhua had no choice but to use the target transfer Dafa, looked at the four people in the distance carrying the big wild boar, and said to the third sister.

The third sister bit her lip and frowned and thought about it, "Then I still have to eat stir-fried pork tongue with pickled peppers and stewed pig's trotters with soybeans." ”

"No problem."

In order to let the third sister talk a few words, Yang Wenhua happily agreed.

Since the price of pork purchased by Yang Wenhua here is about the same as the price of retail sales in the market, people in the vicinity, whether it is a wild boar caught or a domestic pig raised by their own family, like to send it to Yang Wenhua.

After all, it may not be sold out when you go to the market, and Yang Wenhua will definitely buy it if you send it here.

People in this era did not like pork very much, mainly compared with other meats, pork is not only old and woody, but also has a particularly heavy smell, so pork is also called cheap meat.

In fact, there are not many people who raise pigs in this era, because they need to occupy a person to graze, and the pigs that have not been castrated are extremely active, and you don't want to keep them closed all day long, unless you get a stone house, otherwise you will wait every day to mend the wall.

The wild boar sent this time has a look of more than 200 catties, which is relatively rare, and it must survive in the wild for at least two years to grow so big.

It also has to be a clever pig, and he can often catch some mice, snakes and other small things to fight tooth sacrifices.

Yang Wenhua waited for them to separate the pork, picked out a few ribs, took two front legs and a pig's tongue, and put them in a cloth bag before leaving with the third sister.

Most of the remaining meat, except for some that will be boiled today for the people who work here, will be salted and stored as cured meat.

This is also what Yang Wenhua explained to the lieutenant earlier, after all, when Cui Zhe's kelp arrives in the future, it will have to be cooked with pork to sell it, so you can't just get a cold kelp.

Leaving the embankment, riding on the horse, and looking at the endless yellow-green fields, Yang Wenhua felt a sense of pride in his heart.

New hope has been planted, as long as we survive this year, Huaxia will start from here, step by step to solve the worry of hunger.
