Sun Chen specially went to another fruit-rich county in Nanjun and invited Cen Xi, who has rich experience in fruit tree planting, to take full charge of technical guidance.

Cen Xi is over 50 years old, a lean old man, and has three sons at home, all of whom are experts in planting fruit trees. The reason why he was willing to follow Sun Chen to Qingming County was that on the one hand, the salary given by Sun Chen was not low, and on the other hand, he wanted to stay away and hide away. The three sons have all married and had children, and they all have their own fruit tree plantations, but the brothers are fighting for his belonging to the widower father.

Because Cen Xi is not too old, no work can be difficult for him, leaving him in his own house is leaving a free laborer, and no one wants him to leave. Cen Xi was annoyed by them, so he simply left, even if the money he earned was given to his three sons, he could be clean, right?

"I can only stay with you for five or six years, and I still have to train new technicians." On the first day he came here, Cen Xi said something like this.

Sun Chen hadn't selected a suitable one from these people he bought, and his master Yang Shuping actually brought the burden and led Lao Bai to find it.

Originally, when Sun Chen was going south at the beginning, Yang Shuping also mentioned that he wanted to come with him, but Sun Chen felt that his health was not good, and it was best to avoid the fatigue of the journey, so he comforted him and said that after he had established himself there, he would send someone to pick him up.

But the old man was not at ease, so he secretly followed Sun Chen and came over. Fortunately, Sun Chen said in advance where he was going, or Yang Shuping would have to lose it.

Hearing Sun Chen's muttering after returning home, Yang Shuping immediately recommended himself: "Do you still need to find someone else?" Won't I do it? ”

"No, Uncle Yang, that job has to run on the mountain all day long, and your legs are ......" Erniu subconsciously refused.

"Girl, my leg has been healed for a long time." Yang Shuping stood up and jumped vigorously, "In the past few years, I have almost let you feed the waste, I haven't done anything, and a handful of old bones are going to rust." ”

"Ah Chen, just let me go, look at us, who is only in his forties and rests at home all day? It just so happens that you want to use people, and I'm the right fit. ”

"Master, we have that condition to rest." Sun Chen still disagreed, "Besides, that job is exposed to the wind and sun, but you can suffer it!" ”

"When we were first sellers, when was this not the case? Didn't you come here like that? Yang Shuping spoke. If you really think I'm a wreck, don't let me go. ”

It's all said and done, if Sun Chen doesn't agree again, even if he looks down on the master and thinks he is a burden, Sun Chen has no choice but to agree: "Okay, but I have one condition." ”

"What conditions just say." Yang Shuping's wish was successful, and he looked good-tempered.

"You can't be tired, if I find out that you are tired and sick because of doing this, you will never be able to talk about going out and doing work in the future."

"That is, if I'm tired and sick, wouldn't it be a disservice? Don't worry, I'm in good health, and that won't happen. Yang Shuping agreed.

Because of the help of the master on the mountain, Sun Chen was really not as tired as before, and he unhurriedly followed the arrangement on the schedule he listed, and hired workers to enclose Qingmingshan with a stone wall as high as three meters. There were many traps dug under the wall. The job of setting up traps is very familiar to Sun Chen, and it doesn't take much effort to do it well.

At this time, the fruit trees he bought were also planted, and Cen Xi said that it would be good to graft them when the fruit trees germinated in the second year, so the workers were temporarily idle.

In the gap between the fruit trees, Sun Chen tried to plant some vine crops that were born that year - sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like, as well as peanuts and sunflowers, he also planted a little, but he didn't expect that when he finally harvested, he found that the sweet potatoes grown in the soil on the mountain were much better than what he had eaten before, not only sweet, but also not many filaments at the bottom. Sun Chen speculated that this was because these people who bought it felt that they were only responsible for watering the fruit trees on the mountain all day long, and the work was too easy, and they also watered a lot of sweet potatoes with them. But because of the variety, there is a lot of starch content, so it is so delicious.

He took the harvested agricultural products, left what he wanted to eat, divided them into several portions, and entrusted Liu Mingxuan's caravan to bring them back. He made an appointment with Liu Mingxuan, and in three months at most, his caravan would come over and deliver what he needed. Of course, Sun Chen will not be missing him for the labor fees that should be there, Sun Chen still understands this bit of proportion.

Among those gifts, of course, there is one from Liu Mingxuan. Liu Mingxuan got something and made a special trip quickly.

"How many of those things do you have? I want it all, and the price is yours. ”

He looked like he was so wealthy, but it was the first time he faced Sun Chen. But at this moment, Sun Chen could only refuse.

"No, I'll keep the rest for myself."

Compared with selling for money, Sun Chen still wanted to satisfy his appetite first. After all, he is no longer the peasant boy who used to have fun for half a day when he got dozens of copper plates.

"You~" Sun Chen's virtues, of course Liu Mingxuan knew, but he still patiently discussed with him: "Sell me half, no, three percent, three achievements are good." ”

"What's wrong with you? It's not your style to buy and sell. Sun Chen wondered, although as long as he opened his mouth, Sun Chen might not even ask for a copper plate, and he could give it to him.

"Alas, I'm guilty! I won't show off anymore~" Liu Mingxuan had a bitter face, "When I was entertaining guests, I used what you sent, and I specifically said that I took it from you." No, people have relied on me, and I have to come to you again. ”

Sun Chen was speechless, some souvenirs, and they were taken out to show off, is it interesting? But speaking of which, what makes him feel embarrassed can only be the level of the royal family and nobles, and it is really difficult to shirk.

"I'll give you half of it, but only once, and not again."

"I know you're the best." Liu Mingxuan happily stretched out his fist and slammed it on Sun Chen's chest, almost causing him to vomit blood and die.

"the chicken, you're too strong, aren't you? If you want my life, just say it! ”

But in this case, Sun Chen would not say it, at most he would stare at him with resentful eyes.

Rejecting the silver ticket handed over by Liu Mingxuan, Sun Chen asked him to help contact the five thousand chicken seedlings.

He plans to raise local chickens in the mountains, get some local eggs to taste, and by the way, find some live hares from other places to release them into the mountains, the rabbits' reproductive ability is amazing, and it may become an important income for himself in Qingming Mountain in the future.
