Not only that, many trees have been cut down on the south side of Woniu Mountain and reclaimed into terraced fields, and some villagers have driven water buffaloes to work in the fields.

Longquan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. However, there is too little land available.

If the fish pond is too close to the Surabaya River, there is a risk that the river will overflow the pond and wash away the fish and shrimp.

She originally thought about whether she could buy a piece of land in Daliushu Village next to the fish pond of Lao Wangtou's house, but now it seems that the chance is slim.

"Xiuyan, what do you want?"

Ye Jian and Lao Litou's son discussed it properly, and spent another 20 yuan to buy a sack of fresh corn cobs with corn whiskers, and drove a mule cart to catch up with his daughter.

"Daddy."

Ye Xiuyan rode a pony and a mule cart side by side: "Have you figured out where to dig the fish pond?" ”

Ye Jian didn't think about it, and said happily: "Isn't there a vacant land behind our yard, it's just right to cut down the small trees and dig them into a fish pond." ”

"What about the place?"

Ye Xiuyan frowned slightly, not very satisfied: "How big can you dig a fish pond?" ”

Ye Jian's eyes were blank: "Girl, how big of a fish pond do you want to dig?" ”

"It takes at least two years of pearl farming to see results."

Ye Xiuyan has her own opinion: "Let's raise it once, don't raise it more, it's a waste of time." ”

"Our village is a big place."

Ye Jian smiled bitterly: "From the east end of the village to the west end of the village, less than two miles, the houses of the villagers are all built near the river, how can there be extra vacant land to dig fish ponds." ”

Ye Xiuyan pondered intently, and suddenly had an idea: "I think of a place suitable for digging fish ponds." ”

"Where?"

Ye Jian was driven by his daughter's emotions, and he was also a little surprised.

"Canyon."

Ye Xiuyan smiled: "There is a stream at the bottom of the valley, where did I catch crayfish with Doubao." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Jian had a little impression of that canyon: "The canyon behind the bamboo forest? ”

"Uh-huh."

Ye Xiuyan smiled at Mimi: "That's the place." ”

"There."

Ye Jian had scruples: "It's too far away from home, it's inconvenient to take care of the fish pond, and there are wild beasts infested, so it's not safe." ”

"Beasts don't need to worry."

Ye Xiuyan didn't care: "Brother Lan is here, and the manpower to take care of the fish pond is arranged by him, we just need to build a few huts next to the fish pond to accommodate people." ”

"That's it."

Ye Jian was moved by his daughter's words: "Cheng, since you have a number in your heart, then do it according to your wishes." ”

"Let's go, Dad, let's go home quickly."

Ye Xiuyan was overjoyed: "When I go back, I will tell Brother Lan and take someone to the canyon for field survey." ”

"Okay."

Ye Jian agreed with a smile, threw off his horsewhip, and drove the mule cart back home happily.

With the assistance of twenty craftsmen, the stables were built in the morning.

Lin Jingcheng took the craftsmen around the village again, but failed to find a suitable location.

After discussing for a long time, the plan was finally finalized to open up an area to build a school building on the halfway point of Woniu Village.

Woniu Mountain is not high, only 200 meters.

With the set goal, the craftsmen moved quickly, cutting down trees, opening mountains and building roads, and the work was in full swing.

The price of five river mussels for a penny not only makes the villagers of Longquan Village enthusiastic, but also the villagers of nearby villages hear the news and can't resist the temptation, so more and more people go down to the river to try their luck.

Ye Junlan and Qingyang bask in the sun on the beach to harvest river mussels, and the harvest is full.

The large water tank could not fit, and the small fish pond in the yard came in handy.
