Chapter 213: Final Preparations (1)

Although he was embarrassed, since Ye Feng said it, he began to watch. Not surprisingly, he actually saw a potted apple plant.

Min Wenshan carefully looked at all the bonsai in the house, and then turned around and began to choose apple potted plants. There are only about eight pots of these bonsai, which are particularly rugged compared to the other bonsai in the house, but when compared to the apple trees in the orchard, these bonsai are very delicate.

Although the pot is large, it is better than being carefully pruned. The most striking thing is that several trees are already full of buds and will bloom in a while. These buds are pinkish and, at first glance, look a bit like begonia buds.

originally thought that in the face of so many potted plants, Min Wenshan would be dazzled, or ask Ye Feng's opinion. However, unexpectedly, his choice was simple and rude, and he chose the apple tree that seemed to be in the best condition and had the most flowers and bones.

Ye Feng had to sigh when he saw it, who said that a layman doesn't know the doorway, this pot of apples is also his favorite. At the critical moment, put aside other factors, choose the best state, yes.

After saying a few more words, Chen Qianfan and Min Wenshan worked together to move the apple trees into the carriage and entered the city in a hurry. You don't have to think about it to know that this kid must be in a hurry to give gifts.

Miss Lin's home is in the center of the city, very close to the county government.

When Min Wenshan arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion in a carriage, he first tidied up his clothes in front of the air, and then seemed to practice a little, then he jumped out of the car and ordered someone to move the apple potted plant down.

At this time, Miss Lin happened to come back from outside, and she went out to buy some bright fabrics and needlework, thinking of sewing a purse for Min Wenshan by herself.

Speaking of which, both her parents knew about her and Min Wenshan, and they were about to take the last step. However, this is also the consensus of the parents of both sides, that is, to wait for Min Wenshan to take the imperial examination in September.

For both men and women, Min Wenshan can be admitted the best, after all, it can add joy to both parties. It doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, after all, the strength of the two families is there.

Families like theirs don't have to worry about such things as studying.

Seeing her future husband standing at the door, Miss Lin was a little shy for a while and didn't know what to do. Come forward to say hello, it seems too active, don't go, it seems too cold.

At this time, the Lin family's mother, Zhang, happened to come out, and when she saw her daughter's appearance, she felt a little funny. When I thought of my youth, my heart softened a lot.

So he walked straight towards Min Wenshan and said, "This is Min Gongzi here, why don't you go in and sit?" Now these subordinates are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules, and they don't know how to report it. ”

Hearing this, Min Wenshan hurriedly said: "Auntie, you misunderstood, don't blame them, but I just arrived." Today, the head of Chenjia Village asked me to help me think of the name of the attraction, and as a token of gratitude, he gave me a potted apple plant. I, a big man, can't support this precious thing, so I thought about it, so I sent it to you, and I hope you must accept it. ”

When Zhang heard this, he wanted to laugh even more. She knows how much her third daughter wants to raise a potted apple plant. Now, this kid doesn't know where to find out, and as soon as he gets it, he sends it to the door to offer treasures.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and said lightly: "You kid, you have a heart." In that case, the aunt accepted it, thank you. Why don't you go in and sit down, eat and then go back. By the way, your uncle is also at home. ”

"No, no, I have to rush back to the academy. Goodbye, aunt. As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Miss Lin again, and then quickly got into the carriage and left.

Seeing Min Wenshan leaving, Zhang quipped: "I knew you liked apple trees, so I hurriedly went to Chenjia Village to buy them." I don't know how he did it, but many people wanted to buy it that day, but they were told not to sell it. Well, I guess I begged for it myself. ”

He covered his mouth and laughed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Miss Lin pulled Zhang's coquettishness, but her eyes kept staring at this pot of apple trees. The tree is so beautiful that it looks like it will bloom in a few days, and it will bear fruit later...... Thinking of the result, and thinking of himself and Min Wenshan blossoming and bearing fruit, his face turned even redder for a while.

For a while, he asked his subordinates to move the flowers in, and ordered Haosheng to take care of them.

After Min Wenshan left, Ye Feng sorted out the names he had just said, and asked Chen Qianfan to pick up the pen and write out the ten scenes of Chenjia Village, and take them to Bai Zhixian when he had time.

Then, Ye Feng made a summary of all the projects that needed to be built and reported them to Chen Jifa.

Chen Jifa saw it, silently estimated the silver in his heart, and said with some emotion: "To say that these investments are really a lot." I finally saved up some silver before, and I originally thought that I would share it with everyone after a while to make everyone happier, but now it seems that it can't be done for the time being. ”

Ye Feng didn't comfort Chen Jifa, because he didn't need to talk about these truths, and he knew it very well in his heart, after all, how could there be direct benefits without investment?

Take the shops at the entrance of the village as an example, if you leave the platform of Chenjia Village, no matter how delicious the food is, no one will come to patronize it, because outsiders will not know about it at all. And although the locals know, they will not spend money to eat, after all, everyone is very frugal.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you, guys, they'll understand." Chen Jifa closed the account book, looking full of ambition. These infrastructures are not difficult to say, except for the so-called Lake Center Pavilion.

After thinking about it, Chen Jifa said again: "The lake has not dried up since I can remember, and the men's summer water is not finished. Therefore, it is difficult to build. I guess I don't dare to build it in the middle of the lake, or build a dozen meters long, it's pretty good. ”

Ye Feng knew in his heart that in fact, such a project was not difficult, but Chen Jifa had never been far away, so naturally he had no relevant vision. However, more than ten meters is indeed enough, and the more you build in the middle of the lake, the higher the cost will be, and the risk will increase.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said, "Just according to what you said from the village chief." How old I am, I don't know anything, I have to rely on you. Then I don't care about the construction of the Lake Center Pavilion. ”

Chen Jifa smiled at this time, discussed some details with Ye Feng, and hurriedly went to the relevant craftsmen. Placing stone tables and chairs under those apricot trees at the entrance of the village is the easiest, and the villagers can do it.

Thinking that he couldn't divide the money for the time being, Chen Jifa decided to let the men in the village do the simple work. For a while, as soon as the stone was bought, the tables and chairs were carefully placed according to the size, and the digging of the biogas asked the depth, and they also began to dig down.

The women tidied up the house and bought some bonsai to put them on. I want to stand out in my neighborhood.

After arranging these, Chen Jifa went to the field and invited those experienced masters who specialize in building bridges to meet Huxin Pavilion.

Ye Feng was not idle here, but took people to carry out the final decoration of the inn. Although the previous one was said to be liveable, it was not refined enough. Since there is still time, he has to keep improving.

In this way, time flew by, and in a flash, it was May.

Under the apricot tree, a stone table and four stone chairs were placed every five trees. I have to say that this suggestion is very good, although there are no large-scale guests to play, but the villagers of Chenjia Village are enjoying it first.

Especially now that the weather is getting hotter, when the sun is shining, or when you come back from working in the fields, it is very cool to sit under the trees. There is that gluttonous one, pick up the bamboo pole and beat down one or two green apricots, sweet and juicy, very thirst-quenching.

Originally, Ye Feng suggested that all these apricots should be picked and made into dried apricots, which would be another income at that time. But the villagers disagreed, saying that there was no shortage of this silver now, and it was better to pick it if anyone liked it.

When Ye Feng heard this, he naturally didn't have any opinions, so he let everyone go.

As for the latrines, they were all built, spacious and bright, and there was a well near each latrine and a bucket in each pit. When the tourists arrive, someone will be responsible for cleaning and filling the buckets with water every day.

The road signs are also done, but except for the ten scenes of Chenjia Village, the rest are numbers, and they are counted upwards from the beginning. It turned out that in order to facilitate tourists to locate themselves as quickly as possible, Chen Jifa proposed to number each household from the beginning.

The shops at the entrance of the village do not need to be numbered, because the bosses have already given their shops a good name. So, starting from the place near the entrance of the village, a circle was drawn in the most conspicuous position of the brick wall of each house, and the serial number was written on it.

In short, except for the Lake Center Pavilion, the rest of the works have been completed.

The construction of the Huxin Pavilion is also very smooth, and the craftsmen have overcome many difficulties and have now driven the piles out ten meters away. As long as the foundation of the pavilion is completed, the upper part will be easy to do, and the project will be completed.

After last year's experiment, Ye Feng found that the climate here in Chenjia Village is really unpredictable, anyway, as long as you plant peanuts after April. However, the yield of those planted in April is obviously not as high as that of those planted after May.

For this reason, as soon as May came, Ye Feng asked the village chief to go door-to-door to inform that those who wanted to plant peanuts could plant them now.

If you plant it now, it will mature in September. If you plant it again in June, you will have to wait until the end of October. However, Chen Jixing's family listened to Ye Feng's suggestion and planned to plant some of them now, just in time for the National Family Search Conference to mature.

At the same time, some more are planted at the end of May and early June, and there are still fresh peanuts by the beginning of November.

The reason for this is because Ye Feng found that some people prefer dried peanuts, while others prefer fresh ones. If you diverge the time in this way, you can meet the needs of different people to the greatest extent.

In the service industry, complete goods are king. Anyway, you can buy whatever you want, so you can't help but buy silver.

Also, when the peanut harvest was bumper last year, some of Chen Jixing's peanuts were not washed off the mud, but dried with mud and placed in the cellar. As for the taste, it is somewhere between dried peanuts and fresh peanuts.

Chen Jixing loves this taste very much, saying that it is better than frying.

In addition to the longevity fruit, the villagers no longer planted corn or sweet potato sorghum as in previous years, but adjusted the types of crops in time according to their own needs and market conditions.

For example, if the family has a restaurant, they grow a large number of vegetables. If the family feeds the pigs, they only grow corn and sweet potatoes. Like Chen Jitang's family, in addition to peanuts, only ginger, onions, garlic and other spices are planted.

Now these shops in the village need these seasonings, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. Besides, his family runs his own food shop. Even if you can't sell it, you can consume it yourself.

Otherwise, it is also possible to pick it up and sell it in the city.

The Zhao family and Chen Jixing's family are naturally large breeders, one specializes in raising chickens and ducks, and the other is not only raising chickens and ducks but also raising pigs.

Now that the living standard in the village has improved, from time to time there are villagers or two or three or five or six families who pay together for money, buy a pig in Chen Jixing's house and kill it, and divide the meat equally, but it is only dozens or hundreds of catties.

Eat a little at home, pickle some salt and peppers, and send some to your poor relatives, and it will be divided, and you don't have to worry about the taste at all.

However, it is more convenient than going to the city to buy meat, you don't have to walk that far, and it is also lively.

As for Ye Feng, it is a safe design bonsai, planting all kinds of flowers and trees, the roses of the few acres of land that he and Chen Wumei planted together, after careful service, have completely departed from the malnutrition that was born in the wild environment before, and they have grown almost one meter high, and the flower bones are naturally big and numerous, and you can smell the fragrance from afar.

Together with Chen Wumei's apples and pears, the flowering season attracted several beekeepers to come and stay. When it was time to leave, the villagers bought some honey, which was fragrant and sweet.

This is authentic potpourri nectar.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng and Chen Wumei also bought some and stored them in the cellar, preparing to launch new drinks in the beverage store when the time came. They don't need this high-quality honey to make drinks?

Chen Wumei naturally waits for the fruit trees in her forest every day, and after last year's rush to buy, she knows in her heart that these high-quality fruits of her are not worried about selling at all. Apples, in particular, are basically not much left, except for the predetermined ones.

In short, the whole Chenjia Village is in full swing, and everyone is struggling for their own good life and preparing for the upcoming National Family Search Conference.

Therefore, if you come to Chenjia Village now, you will be surprised, because the purpose of the villagers is no longer to feed themselves, but to maximize their money.

The confidence on their faces can give the illusion that this is the legendary Peach Blossom Spring. Everyone is rich, everyone is content.

On the day when the Huxin Pavilion was built, the whole village was a sensation, because this pavilion was so beautiful. From a distance, it looks like it is floating in the middle of the water.

It's just that at the beginning, most of the villagers didn't dare to go up, they always felt unsteady, and they were afraid that the road surface was not strong, and it would collapse instantly while walking.

Those who can swim in the water are not afraid, if it really collapses, it is a big deal to fall into the lake, just swim back. So I walked up boldly, only to find that there was no difference from the flat road.

In fact, Chen Jifa has explained many times, saying that the foundation under the water surface is particularly solid and reinforced, and it will not collapse at all, but the villagers have not walked such a road, so they have no self-confidence.

At this moment, I saw someone walking up, but there was nothing at all, I was a little excited for a while, eager to try, and finally pulled a person to be brave and walked up together. Just take a few steps, and then I'm no longer afraid.

For the sake of safety, guardrails are installed on both sides of this covered bridge, almost to the waist of an adult, which can ensure safety and do not obstruct the view.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and it was very hot outside, but here there was a little more coolness out of thin air, because the wind blew from time to time. On both sides of the covered bridge, around the pavilion, there are patches of green lotus leaves, as soon as the wind blows, it is a burst of lotus fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

No wonder Min Wenshan wants to name this lake pavilion the Lotus Wind Pavilion on all sides, and now when you look at it, it is really appropriate.

Since then, the pavilion has become one of the favorite places for the villagers. After breakfast and dinner, many people come here to take a walk and see the scenery. Although they can't recite poetry, they still have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

After all the infrastructure was completed and there were no problems, Ye Feng began to think about the software. One of the most important is the issue of volunteering.

Now, all the information on abducted babies from all over the country has been counted, and it was delivered to Shirachi County last month. Bai Zhixian looked at it and copied all the people involved in Qingshan County, and then sent the information to the Kang family.

Getting this hard-won list, Kang was very excited, and at the same time felt that it was a huge responsibility. Their method was eventually adopted by the imperial court, and the local government was instructed to devote special forces to check the information.

In other words, the information in this list can basically be guaranteed to be true, after all, the government has already screened it twice. If you follow this list strictly to find someone, as long as that person is still in the world, you will definitely be able to find it.

However, this is indeed a great test. Not to mention the astonishing amount of information, it takes too much time just to read it. But she couldn't do better.

After all, she looked around, and in addition to her two maids, there was only Ye Feng who could do this job.

And three people are completely insufficient.

Originally, Gu Xixi could also help, Yao Wushuang was also very enthusiastic because of Ye's shopkeeper, but she always felt that the two of them were weird.

It stands to reason that the two are close cousins, and their relationship is extraordinary, and they should be very happy doing things together. However, she always felt inexplicably that Gu Xixi had feelings similar to hostility towards Yao Wushuang.

She doesn't have any evidence, it's just a woman's intuition.

Later, Gu Xixi's body became heavier and heavier, as long as Yao Wushuang came, she would not come directly, which confirmed her conjecture from the side.

Thinking that Gu Xixi had strongly recommended Ye Feng to her, although Kang Shi was a little unconvinced, he still went to Chenjia Village in person to discuss this matter with Ye Feng.

I have to say that less than a year apart, Chenjia Village has changed so much that even people like Kang, who have traveled almost all over the country, began to marvel. It is no wonder that Baizhi County agreed to hold the first National Family Search Conference in Chenjia Village.

Now that I look at it, it's a good choice, at least much better than in the city. It's just a matter of accommodation, and the city is not as good as here. Not to mention cheap, it's quite comfortable to live in.

Regarding Kang's arrival and problems, Ye Feng's first suggestion was to immediately recruit volunteers.

"Volunteers? What is a volunteer? Although Ye Feng always has new terms, Kang's is still confused.

Hearing this, Ye Feng said, "Aunt Kang, volunteers are those who are willing to take the initiative to help but do not need to be paid to have a certain ability to work. Of course, if you don't have the ability to work, we can train in a centralized manner. Our power is limited, but the power of the people is infinite. ”

When Kang Shi heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "That's true, now, we need manpower too much." But how do we find people who think like that? ”

Ye Feng said: "This is even simpler, we asked Baizhi County to contact the government of several nearby counties, and immediately issued a document, saying that our Qingshan County urgently needs a large number of volunteers, there is no pay, and the work content is to help the baby find his parents, sort out the information, and so on." We live in Chenjia Village. ”

"That's it? Will anyone want to come? Kang was still skeptical. She always felt that there was no pay, no one wanted to come.

Actually, Kang's is too worried.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, there are still many enthusiastic people. Everyone has compassion, not to mention that this is still a national activity that even the imperial court recognizes?

In addition, some people are rich and kind-hearted, but they are just here to help for a period of time, and they will not resist at all. As for those parents who have lost their children, they are even more willing to come, firstly to help others, and secondly, they can also have access to first-hand information, and maybe they can also help themselves.

After solving the volunteer's problem, Kang's heart relaxed a lot, so he casually asked, "You just said that this is just the first step, so what's next?" ”

"I really need your help in this matter, I want to move the Salesian Bureau in the city to our Chenjia Village. One is that the place in the city is too small, and now those children are getting older day by day, which is really more and more inconvenient. The second is that after they move over, it is also convenient to recognize relatives. ”

Ye Feng looked at Kang Shi and said.

Regarding this proposal, Ye Feng had wanted to say it for a long time, but the village was too busy, so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he didn't have time at all. Moreover, he is also selfish.

Then there is a large piece of land next to the 10,000-person square, which has been barren because there are no scenic spots, and there is a mountain behind it, which is not easy to develop, so it has been empty.

This time, the village was thoroughly improved, and various infrastructure projects continued, so Ye Feng took the opportunity to put forward this request.

Chen Jifa and most of the villagers disagreed. Because in their opinion, although Chenjia Village is getting richer and richer now, it is not rich enough to allow hundreds of children to live in vain.

They really can't figure out what these children will survive on when they come. If they can't live, they won't be able to die. In this way, their pockets will shrink again.

However, I only heard Ye Feng say: "I think, everyone should still remember the hard life they once had, they couldn't eat, they didn't have clothes, they didn't eat the last meal, and they didn't dare to go to the doctor when they were sick, so they could only endure hard......"

As soon as Ye Feng said this, they all remembered their past.

Indeed, such a day was just two years ago, so close that no one could forget it, and no one wanted to go back to that old life.
