This piece of land, which was only two points, was quickly completed, and it was not too late at this time, so Father Ye simply called Qi Gui and Qi Anhe to go around the mountain together.

Since Qi Anhe had already done a lot of homework beforehand, Father Ye didn't have to work hard, and let Qi Anhe lead him to see the places that he thought were suitable for cultivation and planting.

After Father Ye saw it, he was quite satisfied with the places identified by Qi Anhe, as for whether these places are really suitable for planting, it depends on the results of reclamation.

Although Father Ye can't wait to arrange things today and rush home, but at this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, and he can only rest in Zhuangzi for the night and wait for tomorrow to make specific arrangements.

On the second day, Father Ye got up early and found that Qi Anhe and Qi Gui actually got up earlier than him, and the two of them had prepared all the tools needed to go up the mountain to reclaim today.

The three of them are not the kind of people who like to talk a lot, and after looking at each other and smiling, they picked up the food cooked by Qi Gui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and ate it.

After eating, they each took their tools to the side of the hill, and Qi Gui reported the results of contacting the tenants last night to Father Ye: "I went to each house last night to ask, and each family was happy to help with this, and there were a total of eight strong men today, and I asked them to gather at the foot of the mountain at the beginning of the hour." ”

It is now the leisure time after the autumn harvest, although there is still some work in the fields of each family, but it is only some relatively light work, which can be done by the elderly and women in the family, and it is not necessary to do it with strong labor.

Yesterday when he came down from the mountains, Father Ye asked Qi Gui to contact the tenants, so that those men who could take time out could come to help with the reclamation.

Grapes need sunshine to grow, and Daddy Ye plans to reclaim the south slope first, and I roughly saw it yesterday, and there are about five or six places on the south slope that look quite good.

However, before letting everyone reclaim, it is necessary to confirm the approximate scope of reclamation.

After Father Ye and Qi Anhe determined the scope of reclamation, Qi Gui also divided the labor for everyone, working in pairs, some were responsible for cleaning up small shrubs, some were responsible for digging, and some were responsible for cleaning up stones

Father Ye was still very satisfied with Qi Gui's assignment of work to everyone, so he asked Qi Gui to take charge of the reclamation matters, and he himself went to another place with Qi Anhe.

After eating last night, Qi Anhe specially found Father Ye and told him about this place.

It is said that there are some strange trees in this place, and the trees are full of fluffy green fruits, some of which have exploded, and you can see that there are several small brown fruits inside, and this small fruit has a relatively hard shell on the outside, and when you peel off the shell, there is white flesh.

Because he had never seen this kind of fruit before, Qi Anhe didn't dare to taste it, but he specially picked up a few and brought them back.

Seeing the brown fruit in Qi Anhe's palm clearly, Father Ye was overjoyed, this fruit is not a chestnut!

Chestnuts are good things, not only nutritious, but also have certain medicinal value, can be eaten raw, can also be fried and eaten, can also peel the shell to make vegetables to eat, chestnut roast chicken is a famous dish in Shudi.

In the past, when they were in Shudi, their family would go to the mountains to pick chestnuts every autumn, and the chestnuts they picked up would either be sold in the market or kept for themselves, and they could generally be eaten until the spring of the next year.

Since he came to Qingzhou Mansion, it was the first time he had seen chestnuts, but he didn't expect to be in this village in his own house!

What surprised Father Ye even more was that the people here didn't seem to know the chestnut, and no one knew about this chestnut growing in the mountains!

Now is the season when chestnuts are ripe, looking at the chestnuts hanging on the trees and falling on the ground, Father Ye doesn't know what to say.

While picking up the chestnuts that fell on the ground with Qi Anhe, Father Ye told Qi Anhe what this is, how to eat it, and how to eat it to be the best.

"Uncle, since this is a good thing, don't let people come over here, so as not to spoil such a good thing." Qi Anhe carefully tasted the chestnut meat that was peeled off and stuffed into his mouth by Father Ye, maybe because the chestnuts were ripe, eating them in his mouth was far less flavorful than the hawthorn fruit, but since Father Ye said that this was a good thing, he naturally had to protect these things.

Father Ye shook his head, since this tree has grown so big here, no one has come to pick up the fruit when it falls to the ground, so there is no need to bother to make such efforts.

Even if everyone knows that this is edible and comes and picks it up, it's not a big deal.

These chestnut trees were an unexpected harvest, and he was not so stingy as not to let go of a few wild chestnut trees.

With these two baskets of chestnuts to bring back to Hongfeng Village, not only let the family taste this long-lost delicacy, but also can eat it for a while, so it is enough.

Although Father Ye shook his head and was not as aggressive as this, Qi Anhe still made up his mind in his heart not only to protect these chestnuts, but also to collect these fruits and dry them in the skin.

Picked up the chestnuts on the ground, and the two of them also had half-sized back baskets, in order to prevent people from exposing the chestnuts, Qi Anhe also specially grabbed two handfuls of grass to cover them.

Seeing that Father Ye shook his head, he didn't stop it.

The two returned to the reclamation site, and Father Ye planned to tell Qi Gui again, so he took the chestnuts back to Hongfeng Village.

But when he returned to the reclamation site, he couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that he couldn't go home in a hurry.

Although Qi Gui has carried out the division of labor, everyone seems to be working very hard, but it is a pity that the efficiency of this reclamation is really not flattering.

Father Ye had to go into battle in person to show everyone how to reclaim the mountains.

He has experience in reclaiming barren slopes, and the barren slopes in Hongfeng Village have a lot in common with this hill, so it is not difficult to demonstrate.

After some demonstrations and explanations by Father Ye, everyone soon found some tricks, and gradually began to be handy.

Father Ye simply took this opportunity to announce to everyone the wages for this work, even if these people were tenant farmers of his own Zhuangzi, he never thought of using these labors in vain.

He knew that the hard work of reclaiming the mountains was hard and tiring, and it was not much easier to do it in a day than the hard work of carrying bags for people, so the salary for everyone was not low, 30 yuan per person per day, and specifically explained that this salary was a daily settlement, that is, the tenant farmers who came here to reclaim could go home with 30 yuan when they finished work every day.

As soon as this decision was announced, it naturally aroused the enthusiasm of the men to work, and they screamed and worked very happily.

These men will also go to Fucheng to find odd jobs to supplement their families in their spare time, and they know the market of odd jobs in Fucheng well.

They are all rough men with strength and no culture, and they go to Fucheng to find work, and they do the hardest physical work, but they can earn 20 wen a day.

Originally, I thought that working here was a day job, but I didn't expect Daddy Ye to open his mouth and give everyone a daily wage of 30 yuan per person, so it's no wonder that the men's motivation is insufficient!

Father Ye squatted down and grabbed a handful of ground, picked up a hoe and dug a few times, the quality and amount of soil here surprised him a little, and then looked at the energetic men and saw a little bit of reclaimed land, and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Now he can go back to Hongfeng Village with confidence!

Father Ye put down the hoe, patted the dirt off his hands, and called Qi Gui to his side to explain a few more words, but Qi Anhe, who was beside him, suddenly said "Huh": "Isn't that my mother?" How did she come? ”

Father Ye stared down the mountain, and sure enough, when he saw that the Yang family was hurrying to this side, his heart suddenly jumped, and there was only one thought in his mind: something happened to Hongfeng Village!
