On the first night in the new house, many people came around. Everyone helped Chang Xing clean the house where he had just entertained guests. Most of the Eight Immortals tables and benches borrowed from various households were sent back. A few sets were also left behind.
, because we also have to entertain the folks who help us.
"Chang Xing, the Sanhe mud in your house is very good. The ground is very hard, like frozen cement." Zhou Maolin kicked on the ground, and his Jiefang shoes did not leave a single footprint on the ground.
"The stool didn't make a mark when it fell on the ground. If you can make a mark by kicking it, I think you are awesome." Zhang Fangqing said with a smile.
"This Sanhe mud is good. It is smoother than cement and not very slippery." Zhou Maolin said.
The floor is indeed made of Sanhe mud, but Chang Xing's Sanhe mud is different from others. He passed it through with spiritual fire, and the ground burned like ceramics, which is indeed more durable than cement.
Wu Wanyi and other young female intellectuals finished their meal and were not in a hurry to go back. They were washing dishes with her mother-in-law in Xianjiqiao. The bowls were borrowed from every household. To facilitate identification, the bowls from each household were placed in the bowl.
Marks are engraved on the bottom. When you are done, the bowls are returned after they are washed. When borrowing bowls, I use a notebook to record how many vegetable bowls and rice bowls Zhou Maolin has. It is not easy to engrave on the chopsticks, so I generally write down the number of pairs.
That's all. Chang Xing also bought some new chopsticks. If someone's is missing, he can use new chopsticks to make up for it. Chopsticks are not valuable things, so even if they are a little bit missing, there won't be any problem.
"Teacher Wu, you educated young people have never done such dirty work. You go and take a rest, and we will take care of it." Zhou Ping said.
Luo Chunhua also said: "Yes, you go and talk."
"It's okay, Chang Xing is busy all the time, how can he find time to talk to us?" Wu Wanyi said.
Zhou Maolin and others talked and went to the gardening field.
"The Agricultural Technology Station sent a message saying that they have got tea tree seeds. Let's go to the Agricultural Technology Station to get them. I will go there tomorrow to get the seeds. We need to speed up the progress in the barren mountain, otherwise things will be delayed. If it is later, this kind of seeds will be too late.
I can’t pronounce it anymore,” Zhou Maolin said.
"The seeds have arrived? So quickly?" Chang Xing asked with a smile.
"Yes. I heard that the leftovers from other communes were brought over to us. Otherwise, how could it be so fast?" Zhou Maolin said.
"Then let Ma Benfu drive the tractor to pull it tomorrow." Zhang Fangqing said.
"That's right, let Ma Benfu drive the tractor to take me there tomorrow. The tractor is a good thing. I heard from Xiao Zhao that machinery is used for farming in the north. If we make money in the gardening farm in the future, we will also buy machinery to farm the land." Zhou Maolin drank.
Just click and speak louder.
"If we implement mechanized farming, we won't have so many people farming in the future. What will the remaining people do?" Chang Xing asked.
"Build a side business! We have set up a tea farm, and in the future we can plant fruit trees and engage in breeding. Have you forgotten that we exchanged supplies with the Qingshui Shoe Factory? We are rare in the supplies in the city. Our grain, meat, and fruits are rare in the city.
We can do anything in the future. If it were like a shoe factory, there would be hundreds of people in each factory. We still have too few people in the brigade, and we are still worried about being idle and having nothing to do?" Zhou Maolin said.
"That's true. Secretary Maolin, can our brigade really engage in mechanized farming in the future?" Xiao Dajiang also asked curiously.
"Others can, why can't we?" Zhou Maolin said.
Huang Yuchun saw that Zhou Maolin drank too much wine and spoke with a straight tongue. He came over and complained to Chang Xing: "Chang Xing, your family's wine is running out, what are you doing with so much wine? Look at this old guy.
I was so drunk that I couldn't even find the north."
"You can't find it even if you can't find it. I can touch it even if you can't find it." Zhou Maolin actually touched his mother-in-law's face directly with his hand, touched her face, and laughed, "She also said that I can't find Bei."
, didn’t I touch this?”
Everyone laughed loudly, making Huang Yuchun blush, and quickly clapped Zhou Maolin's hand: "This is the virtue of drinking. Chang Xing, your Uncle Maolin got drunk here, now you are responsible for solving it."
Huang Yuchun was afraid that her man would do something more embarrassing, so she ran away quickly and was almost knocked down by Zhou Maolin.
Zhou Maolin missed the opportunity and almost fell to the ground. Chang Xing quickly supported Zhou Maolin.
"Uncle Maolin, are you thirsty? Have some tea." Chang Xing helped Zhou Maolin sit down on a chair, and then brought a cup of tea over.
As soon as Zhou Maolin heard the word tea, he immediately stood up and said, "Chang Xing, I'm telling you, you have to listen to my uncle. This tea farm will definitely be great. When the tea is sold, it will be money. At the end of the year, we will
The dividends shared by the Xianjiqiao Brigade will definitely make other brigades jealous. We at Xianjiqiao must seize this opportunity. Tea tree seedlings, you have to do everyone a favor."
"Uncle Maolin, look at what you said, if I can help, why won't I help you? You can have a cup of tea first," Chang Xing said.
Zhou Maolin picked up the tea cup and drank the water in one gulp. Little did he know that Chang Xing had secretly melted a hangover charm into the tea. After drinking the cup of tea, Zhou Maolin woke up soon after.
"Oh, why am I sitting here?" Zhou Maolin looked around. Everyone was busy helping Chang Xing clean up, and he was the only one sitting on the chair and sleeping.
"You're awake, can you still drink a little? How capable are you? You can drink up all the wine in Chang Xing's house by yourself." Seeing Zhou Maolin, Huang Yuchun was so angry that he gave this old guy today.
It's embarrassing enough.
"Mother, what's wrong? Have you sipped gunpowder? Why are you talking so angry?" Zhou Maolin asked in confusion.
"What did you do today and you completely forgot about it?" Huang Yuchun asked.
Zhou Maolin shook his head: "Oh, my head hurts a little, and I can't remember anything."
"Forget it, don't think about it if you can't think of it. It's not a glorious thing anyway. Go back as soon as you wake up and don't cause trouble to Chang Xing here. Chang Xing is as busy as a spinning top. You sit here
"Are you still waiting for dinner?" Huang Yuchun said.
Chang Xing came over: "Don't leave in a hurry. You've been busy all day. Eat dinner before leaving. The food is ready. I won't worry if you don't leave without eating." Chang Xing said.
"Look, Chang Xing is being sensible. Chang Xing, do you have any wine tonight?" Zhou Maolin felt that he hadn't had enough to drink in the afternoon. The opportunity was rare. When will he have the opportunity to ask Chang Xing for a drink? At least.
Should we wait until the Chinese New Year?
When Huang Yuchun heard this, he immediately became angry: "You are still drinking, don't you know how drunk you are today? You are so ugly that you have been thrown into the East China Sea."
Zhou Maolin couldn't remember what he had done and scratched his head: "I didn't do anything?"
Under Huang Yuchun's efforts to stop it, and the rest of the people's drunkenness had not completely dissipated, all of them were not very enthusiastic about drinking. Zhou Maolin was the only one who made a fuss, so naturally there was no movement, and in the end he just ate.
meal.
The next day, Zhou Maolin took a tractor to the agricultural technology station and brought back tea tree seeds. In fact, tea tree propagation rarely uses seeds, but uses branch cuttings. However, there is not a single tea tree seedling in Xianji Bridge now.
, it is impossible for other farms to let Xian Jiqiao cut down their tea branches, so propagating directly from seeds is the simplest and fastest way now.
The Agricultural Technology Station provides a tea tree planting technology and even tea frying technology information. However, there is no content on tea tree seedling cultivation.
This is not a problem for the people of Xianjiqiao. Since there are seeds, just plant the seeds just like soybeans.
Once a seed is planted, it will not germinate in a day or two.
A spring rain fell in the evening, watering the barren hills that had just been reclaimed and planted with tea tree seeds.
What no one knows is that this rain did not actually fall from the sky, but Chang Xing cast a Taoist spell and dropped rain and fog over the barren mountains. Then it happened to rain again, but Chang Xing cast a spell.
The traces left behind are completely erased.
By the Qingming Festival, the tea sapling has grown a green bud tip.
Zhou Maolin, who was the first to see it, cheered all the way back to Xianji Bridge from the mountain and didn't even know he had lost one of his Liberation Shoes.
"Great, the tea trees have sprouted! Our tea farm is looking forward to it again!" Zhou Maolin has high expectations for the tea farm. Now that he has finally taken a solid step towards his goal, Zhou Maolin is naturally ecstatic.
Chang Xing also went to the mountains to take a look and found that the tea tree seeds were sprouting well. However, Chang Xing always felt that it was unreliable to expect mechanization of tea in these two barren mountains.
Chang Xing has to go back to Fengmei Village every day. Although there is little need for Chang Xing to take care of the fields, those fields and land were cultivated by Chang Xing and his master. Just like the tea farm in Xianji Bridge, Chang Xing also places his trust there.
Xing and his master have many hopes. Chang Xing hopes that one day he can wait there for his grandfather's return.
There was a lot of pigweed growing in the field. Chang Xing pulled up the pigweed and threw it into the field. And the weeds in the field were pulled out and thrown into the field. The pigweed in the field will rot if soaked in water.
will fall off, and aquatic plants will dry to death if exposed to the sun.
When he walked to the Patriarch Temple, Chang Xing couldn't believe his eyes. Several fragrant deer came into the male fragrant deer's nest, and among them, the original male fragrant deer had horns on its head.
"This guy is so carefree that he lured back a large group of female fragrant deer!" Chang Xing was speechless.
The female fragrant deer were a little frightened when they saw Chang Xing, and they screamed and wanted to run away. Then they heard the male fragrant deer barking a few times, and the group of female fragrant deer slowly calmed down. The male fragrant deer walked out from the group of fragrant deer.
, came to Chang Xing's side and gently rubbed Chang Xing's body with the horns on his head. He seemed to be asking Chang Xing to allow him to keep those female fragrant deer.
"Just stay. Just don't eat the crops in my field, otherwise I'll kill them and eat the meat." Chang Xing threatened.
I don’t know if the male fragrant deer understood what Chang Xing said. The male fragrant deer seemed very happy and jumped up and down, leaving the group of female fragrant deer baffled.
The old cat was very angry with Chang Xing. Does it make you uncomfortable to live with me in the mountains? He actually ran down the mountain to build a new nest. The most hateful thing is that he didn’t invite me to come over. He turned away and pretended not to
I saw Chang Xing coming back.
When Dahuang saw Chang Xing coming back, he happily greeted him, wagging his tail constantly, then hugged Chang Xing's legs with his legs, and kept rubbing his head on Chang Xing's feet, as if Chang Xing was not allowed to go down the mountain again.
Dahei also came over. Although it is not as smart as Dahuang and the old cat, it is also very dependent on Chang Xing.
"Old Cat, Dahuang, Dahei, come here. I'm going to live down the mountain from now on. If you are willing to come down with me, we will move down before dark today. If you want to live on the mountain, I will come here to get it for you every day.
Two meals." Chang Xing was not afraid of the trouble of going up and down the mountain.
The old cat was very hesitant. Originally, it was not planning to go down, but now that Chang Xing invited it so seriously, it didn't know how to decide.
Dahuang immediately agreed without any sense of loyalty and happily rolled around in front of Chang Xing.
Are all dogs spineless? The old cat rolled his eyes. Just when the old cat couldn't make up his mind, Lao Hei made a decision first. This fool didn't even understand what he was told, so he just started making fun of him.
He rushed to squeeze Dahuang away and hugged Chang Xing's legs.
"Meow!" the old cat yelled at Dahei, meaning you kid, please think more clearly.
Dahei knew how to roll. Hearing the old cat's call, he ran to the old cat and rolled again.
The old cat slapped Dahei away. The old cat meowed at Chang Xing and pointed with its paw to the place where Chang Xing hid the wine. It meant that we were gone, what should we do with the wine?
"Put the wine here so that others can't get in. Are you afraid that someone will steal it?" Chang Xing said.
The old cat was very angry. Did I mean that I was afraid that the wine would be stolen? What I meant was that you have moved so many houses recently, and I didn’t even get a share. You agreed to share them equally, but you took advantage of me.
If you drink wine, you won’t regret it!
"Okay, bring a jar of wine with you later, and you can drink as much as you like after coming down the mountain." Chang Xing said.
Dahuang immediately rushed over and kept wagging his tail in front of Chang Xing. Where is the bark?
"You also have a share." Chang Xing said angrily.
Only then did Dahuang walk away with satisfaction.
Chang Xing held a jar of wine in one hand and led Da Huang, Lao Mao and Da Hei to prepare to go down the mountain.
"Yo yo!"
The male fragrant deer caught up, followed by a group of female fragrant deer.
"Do you want to follow me down the mountain?" Chang Xing was a little surprised. He had always thought that this deer was just an ordinary deer.
"Yo yo!"
The male fragrant deer barked happily, and the group of female fragrant deer also screamed. However, they were timid and always kept a distance from Chang Xing.
"Don't go down the mountain. Stay in Fengmei Village. I will come to the mountain often." Chang Xing said. Where can we find a place to house such a large group of fragrant deer? Should we let them live in the house with them?
What?
The male fragrant deer rubbed against Chang Xing angrily, and then rushed into the woods with the group of female fragrant deer.
Chang Xing looked back at the Patriarch's Temple, as if he saw the old Taoist standing in front of the Patriarch's Temple waving to him.
"Master, my disciple has gone down the mountain. When will you come back?"
