The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 400 Digging a Pond

In Lin Huzi's view, the mountains are full of messy trees, which cannot be used to grow things, and he would not even think about buying mountains if he was given money.

"Trees can be planted on the mountain, and livestock can also be raised. I want to try to plant some fruit trees and raise some livestock." Lin Xiazhi said his plan.

"Brother Xia, we can't spend money like this now that we have money. Just think about how much manpower and material resources it will take to plant fruit trees on this mountain. It's not worth it." Lin Huzi felt that Lin Xiazhi's idea was too unreliable. "There are no fruit trees in the nearby villages. When the mountain is bought, the trees will not grow, and all the money invested will be wasted. Why don't you go and buy more land, and your father will help you plant the land. good."

Lin Huzi has read more books, and gradually has his own ideas, and will give Lin Xiazhi advice.

Lin Xiazhi had wanted to do this for a long time, and of course she would not give up because of Lin Huzi's words: "Father, when I asked you to raise seedlings at the beginning, you said no, but the seeds grown out of the seedlings were longer than ordinary seeds." "Fortunately, the yield of crops is more than before. I haven't said how to plant fruit trees, but you think it won't work. It's a bit too early to draw this conclusion, right? "

"Brother Xia, if you want to plant fruit trees on this mountain, you have to cut down all the trees on it first, and then transplant new ones." Lin Huzi still felt that it was wrong, "I have seen fruit trees planted by others. , just like our crops, they are all planted in flat places. There is a big difference between planting fruit trees and crops. Look at the fruits in our village. It’s not completely neglected, but it’s not as good as someone else’s special planting. There must be skills, we don’t know anything, you have to buy mountain fruit trees, why don’t you buy a few acres of land and try to grow some?”

What Lin Huzi said makes sense. Fruit trees are more difficult to maintain than crops. Different fruit trees have different tempers. They need to be taken care of by someone who understands this field, so that the fruits on the fruit trees can be big, round and sweet.

Moreover, the people here plant fruit trees in the fields. They use better dry fields or poorer paddy fields, and often a whole village will plant a certain kind of fruit trees together.

"Dad, don't worry, I have saved a lot of money now, and I am worried that I have no place to spend it. The money will not increase if you put it in the box. Only when you use it will it increase more and more." Lin Xiazhi One set of principles followed another.

"Brother Xia, you're right, you can't spend money like this. In the future, when the little bun grows up, there will be a lot of places where money will be used." Lin Huzi persuaded Lin Xiazhi earnestly.

In his head, he firmly believes that buying barren mountains to plant fruit trees is throwing water into the silver, and it is impossible to get it back. It will take a lot of effort to sort out the mountains.

"Father, don't worry about how much it costs. You can ask uncle with me first if this mountain can be sold." Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi couldn't understand.

In the absence of actual results, Lin Huzi would only believe it when he had developed the barren hills and the facts were in front of him.

"Hey, you child." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Huzi, he could only take Lin Xiazhi to the room in the front.

Today is the day when he gets married and goes back to Mo's house. Li Zheng knew that Lin Xiazhi would return to Linjiacun, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiazhi was still in the village at this time. He seemed to be planning to stay at Mo's house for a night.

"Huzi, Brother Xia, happy new year. Are you out for a stroll, or are you here to find me something?" Li was putting away the cigarette rods in his hands. The Lin family now has three little children, so they can't smell the smoke.

"Brother, Happy New Year." Lin Huzi smiled innocently.

"Happy New Year, Uncle." Lin Xiazhi walked forward with a smile, "I'm here for a walk and I'm here to find you."

"Since you have something to say, you go into the room and I'll wash your hands." I just smoked, and my hands smell rather strong.

The two and a half elders of Lizheng's family were also there at the moment. When they saw Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi coming, they took the initiative to say hello and pour water for them.

Because of Lin Chengzong, Lin Xiazhi often heard about the two of them and was quite familiar with them, so he asked them a few things about the academy.

Listening to the children chatting about their studies, Lin Huzi stayed quietly by the side without interrupting. When Wei Fulang came out after tidying up the dishes and chopsticks in the room, and Lizheng also washed his hands, the two of them left the main room. Don't disturb the adults talking about things.

Just now Lin Xiazhi had made it clear that they came here for business, so Li Zheng asked directly: "Brother Xia, what are you doing here this time?"

"It's not a big deal, I just have a question I want to ask." Lin Xiazhi took a sip of the warm water on the table, "Can you buy the mountain behind my house?"

"Huh? It can't be sold, all the land in the village has been sold." Li Zheng didn't hear what Lin Xiazhi said, and thought he was asking about the land in the village.

Nowadays, people's life in the village is getting better and better. All the arable land recorded by the government has been owned. Even the wasteland suitable for farming has been mined by everyone, and there is nothing to sell.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't hear what he asked clearly, Lin Xiazhi repeated his question again.

"Wait, you mean to buy a mountain?" Lizheng realized that he had just made a joke.

Normal people would never think of buying mountains. As far as he knows, those who buy mountains are those rich people who enclose an entire mountain as their own private estate.

From the looks of Brother Xia, it doesn't look like he would waste that money. After all, in the eyes of those who have been farming in the fields for generations, buying mountains and building manors is a waste of money and useless.

Not only does it cost a lot of money to build a garden, but it also requires a lot of people to maintain it in the later stage. The repaired garden cannot be lived twice a year, which is not practical at all.

"It's not that I'm buying a mountain to build a garden. I want to buy a mountain to plant fruit trees." Lin Xiazhi said his thoughts.

Li Zheng's first reaction was exactly the same as Lin Huzi's. This idea was unrealistic, and he advised Lin Xiazhi not to spend the money.

"I haven't done it yet, and you all poured cold water on me." Lin Xiazhi couldn't laugh or cry, "Everyone disagreed with what I proposed before, have all the things I mentioned at the beginning come true now, are they all right? Everyone can help? You have to believe me, planting fruit trees can be successful."

"What you said before was in the past. Brother Xia, the things you proposed are all good for the people in our village. I have no objection. But no one in our village knows how to grow this kind of fruit tree. You bought that mountain , I can’t grow fruit trees.” Seeing that Lin Xiazhi didn’t listen to persuasion, Lizheng stood up anxiously.

Lin Huzi watched from the side, seeing that Lizheng joined the team of persuading Lin Xiazhi as he thought.

Lin Xiazhi made up his mind to do this, and now he can't convince them, so he can only take a moment and talk to Lizheng about another matter, "Uncle, I went to Weijia Village last year, and their place is low-lying. , is it easy to accumulate water when it rains?"

I thought Lin Xiazhi would say something about the village, but he opened his mouth and asked Weijia Village, but Lizheng didn't respond immediately.

Last year, Shiwaiyuan’s lotus ponds worked well. In the summer, a lot of lotus flowers bloomed. In autumn, the fish in the pond was harvested. The lotus ponds dug out in winter also sold for a good price. Except for the bare lotus ponds in spring, there is nothing to see. Apart from not being able to make money, the income in other seasons is not low, which is a good project to get rich.

When talking about the source of the world with Cheng Jinyang, Lin Xiazhi wondered if this method could also be used in Linjiacun, but there were many things at that time, and he found out that he was pregnant, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. .

Later, Lin Xiazhi visited Linjia Village and found that Linjia Village was not suitable for digging ponds, so he put his idea on Weijia Village.

"I thought about this question as early as last year, but the timing was not right and I didn't bring it up." Lin Xiazhi continued, regardless of whether Lizheng followed his train of thought or not, "When the land melts in spring, we can use it in Weijia Village Dig ponds to plant lotus root in the open space. Plant lotus root in spring, and lotus leaves and flowers will grow in summer.”

"There are a lot of people from other places in our village now. When the first round of rice is harvested in summer, there will be a peak flow of people. At that time, if people from Weijia Village come to promote their lotus, some people will definitely want to go and have a look." Lin Lin Xia Zhi's thoughts became smoother and smoother, and he talked endlessly.

"Someone can find a way to make money in the past, build a pavilion by the lotus pond for tourists to watch, sell snacks, tea, etc., and sell fresh lotus and lotus pods, and even make a batch of small boats for tourists. You can go down to the pond to watch the lotus up close.”

"As long as the lotus is in full bloom, there will be a steady stream of tourists passing by in summer, and of course there will be a steady stream of money."

Li Zheng and Lin Huzi listened to Lin Xiazhi's words, one's eyes were shining like gold, and the other became more and more confused the more they listened.

We know from the situation in the village that there are indeed many foreigners coming over in the past two summers, and some families will provide these foreigners with food and tea, and charge some money appropriately.

Although the income is not much, it is a windfall for everyone, and the villagers will be very happy when they talk about it.

If it is true as Lin Xiazhi said, Weijia Village digs a pond to grow lotus, as long as the pond can be repaired beautifully, there will probably be many tourists willing to go to see the lotus.

Before Lin Xiazhi finished speaking, he took a sip of water and continued, "Not only do we need to plant lotus root in the pond, but we can also raise fish. Fish eat lotus leaves and flowers and grow up. They will have a special fragrance and the meat will be plump. , Fish harvested in autumn can be sold at a good price, and you can also use fishing methods to attract outside customers. For example, if a person collects dozens or hundreds of dollars at a time, he can take away the fish he catches. I believe he is willing to go. There will not be fewer people fishing."

"After the fish are harvested, we can release the water and dig the lotus root. There are few villages in Lishui County that grow lotus root, and the lotus root can be sold at a good price. In a word, you can make money all year round except spring."
