Chapter 151
I thought I was just staying in Zhuangzi for two days, but I didn't expect to stay in Zhuangzi for five days this time.
Although Daddy Ye gave a quite detailed description of the process and precautions for sprouting, it was too detailed that Qi Gui was at a loss, and he was always worried about which link was not done properly and led to failure, so he had to confirm the process with Daddy Ye again and again.
After going back and forth, Father Ye was also confused, so he simply asked Ye Damin to go back to Houwu Village first, and Father Ye took Lin Wan and Ye Shen to live in Zhuangzi for a few more days, until he tasted the first batch of mung bean sprouts in Zhuangzi and was sure that he was safe.
During this period, Ye Shen quietly mentioned the cave to Father Ye, and Father Ye was very surprised.
Father Ye thought about it again and again, and decided to ask Qi Guike if he knew about the cave on the mountain first.
Although Qi Gui has been the head of this village for more than ten years, he really didn't know that there was such a cave on the mountain.
So after the two discussed, they decided to take Ye Shen and Qi Xiaowu to the scene to see what was going on.
The reason for not bringing Lin Wan with you is very simple.
The fact that there is a hot spring in Zhuangzi cannot be known to more people for the time being, and Lin Wan stayed down just to keep Lin Zimo.
Father Ye and Qi Gui prepared to go around the mountains under the pretext of demarcating the area that needed to be reclaimed after the ice was lifted, Qi Xiaowu and Ye Shen each found a reason for the two to take them.
After some on-the-spot investigation, the result was naturally surprised and delighted by Father Ye and Qi Gui, Father Ye praised Qi Xiaowu who found the cave, and of course the decision was the same as Ye Shen, and temporarily sealed this cave mountain.
This time, there are two old people who do it themselves, and the camouflage at the entrance of the cave is naturally very thorough, and people who don't know that there is this cave in advance will never find that there is a cave here, and it is naturally even more impossible to find the hot springs in the cave.
Father Ye and Qi Gui are both extremely cautious people, and they also specially found the small hole with a large bowl mouth on the top of the cave, and also sealed and camouflaged this small hole.
After this exploration, Ye Shen finally knew why Qi Gui, who had been in this Zhuangzi for more than ten years, did not find that there was a hot spring here, because this cave had another extension, and the mist produced by the hot spring was emitted from the extension.
However, it was inconvenient for the two elders and their two children to explore deeply, so they did not go deeper this time.
The hot springs will not run, and the current ability of the Ye family is not suitable for disclosure to the public, so naturally there is no hurry.
After returning to the courtyard from the mountains, Father Ye and Qi Gui went to the backyard to be busy with the bean sprouts, while Lin Wan separated Lin Zimo and talked with Ye Shentou on his head.
Today, she was going to go to the mountain with her, but she couldn't get rid of Lin Zimo, so she had to stay with Lin Zimo.
Seeing Ye Shen coming back at this time, he had to ask about the situation.
"There was not a single trace of snow in the mountains outside the top of the cave, and there was even green in the dead grass. If you open up that piece of land, sister, do you think you can grow vegetables there in the winter? Ye Shen told Lin Wan the process of this trip in detail, and finally said what he thought in his heart.
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and soon darkened again, she hadn't seen it in person, and she really couldn't answer Ye Shen's question.
No, no, even if she had seen it herself, she shouldn't have and couldn't answer this question!
Lin Wan's eyes widened and she looked at Ye Shen in surprise: "Is it as warm as the ondol at home?" ”
Ye Shen shook his head: "How can it, naturally it can't be compared!" ”
Lin Wan puffed out her cheeks and said in a daze: "Then I don't know, I only tried to grow flowers and vegetables with a warm kang." ”
Ye Shen was amused by Lin Wan and laughed, he really didn't expect Lin Wan to be so cute, so he reached out and gently pinched Lin Wan's bulging cheeks while laughing.
Lin Wan glared at Ye Shen a little angrily, and Ye Shen had to ask for mercy repeatedly.
Lin Wan wasn't really angry, and after Ye Shen coaxed a few times, she naturally spared Ye Shen.
In the past five days in Zhuangzi, in addition to teaching Qi Gui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sprout, Father Ye also went to the mountains with Qi Gui several times, and Lin Wan also went with him.
After field investigation, Lin Wan felt that the surface temperature near the small hole the size of a bowl on the top of the mountain was indeed slightly higher as Ye Shen said, but unfortunately, this area was mostly filled with rocks, and only a thin layer of sand was seen when the rocks were removed, which was too barren.
To use this surface temperature for planting, it is necessary to transport soil from other places, and it is more difficult to reclaim, as for whether it is worth reclamation, Lin Wan feels that it is difficult to make a conclusion, it depends on what is reclaimed and planted.
If there were conditions in her previous life, Lin Wan would definitely make use of this land, and it would be most suitable to use plastic film to grow strawberries and flowers in winter.
It's just that there are too many limitations here, and Lin Wan can only express regret.
After the first batch of bean sprouts came out and Daddy Ye personally tasted it without any problems, he was finally ready to return to Houwu Village.
This time, it was not only Ye Shen, Lin Wan, Lin Zimo and Xiaocao who returned to Houwu Village with Father Ye, but also Qi Xiaowu and Qi Dabao's uncle and nephew, who came to Houwu Village to study with Ye Shen as Ye Shen's scholars.
This is not only to prevent Qi Xiaowu from being idle and running to the cave, but also a reward that Father Ye paid to Qi Gui's family.
This time, Father Ye also had a discussion with Qi Gui about the family affairs of Qi Gui's two daughters, and according to Father Ye's intentions, he directly returned the deeds of Qi Gui's two daughters to Qi Gui, and asked Qi Gui to find a suitable person to handle the family affairs of the two daughters.
Qi Gui shook his head and refused.
Although the Qi family is from the North, they are not locals in Qingzhou Mansion, because they can't live in their hometown, and in order to survive and bury the two old people who were born suddenly, Qi Gui took his family to sell himself as slaves and came to Qingzhou Mansion.
After the previous master bought their family, Qi Gui has been the head of this Zhuangzi, and he knows only a limited number of people, and the two daughters-in-law are both rough servants in the original master's family.
Now where can he find the right person to marry his daughter?
He and his mother-in-law are both people who love children, even if they are daughters, they are reluctant to marry far away, of course, they hope to find a suitable one in Zhuangzi or the servants of the Ye family.
In Zhuangzi, his family is a slave, and the Ye family currently has no other slaves at all, and where is there a suitable partner for the two daughters to marry.
Qi Gui was worried that even if his daughter eliminated her slave status, she would still be looked down upon, and she would suffer hardship if she married out rashly, so she politely rejected Daddy Ye's kindness.
If there is no suitable one for the time being, then delay it first, fortunately, Qi Gui's two daughters are not too old, and it doesn't hurt to stay for another two years.
Qi Gui is still very optimistic about the Ye family, with his current development momentum, it will definitely be better in two years, maybe there will be a suitable candidate at that time.
However, the youngest son Qi Zhenting and the eldest grandson Qi Dabao are Qi Gui's heart disease, these two children are clever and intelligent, stay in the Zhuangzi to play crazy, and in the end they can only be a farmer in the Zhuangzi like their brother (father).
If you can follow the little master, maybe there will be a better creation.
Qi Gui gave up his old face and asked Father Ye to agree, and let the two children come to Houwu Village together in the name of scholars.
It can be regarded as giving Qi Zhenting and Qi Dabao a chance to improve, as for what kind of creation the two will have, but it depends on the two children themselves.
