The strongest medical saint in the city

Chapter 65 Fish Pond
Zhou You gave Erleng and Zhou Zhuang a rough introduction to his plan to develop the barren hills, and Erleng called a group of farmers early the next morning to start weeding the barren hills.

And Zhou You also started to enter the deep mountains all the time, looking for two kinds of herbs called poultry grass and wild rice.

These two kinds of herbs are very favorite food for pheasants and hares, but unfortunately they are relatively rare, and because they have no actual medicinal value, Zhou You didn't pay special attention to them before.

Zhou You only saw the records in Shennong Medical Classics, but never saw the real thing, let alone know how to plant it.

"But as long as there is a spiritual spring, these two herbs should not be grown."

Zhou You searched in the mountains for a long time, but he didn't find these two kinds of herbs. Instead, he found a lot of fish leaf grass. Many people like to use these grasses to mix them into feed for fishing.

Anyway, Zhou You was going to develop fish ponds soon, so he dug up some of these fish leaf grasses by the way.

It was getting dark, and Zhou You still couldn't find the two kinds of grasses that were going to be planted on the barren hills. In desperation, he had no choice but to come to the Lingquan and seek help from the spirit snake.

Zhou You feels that the intelligence of the spirit snake is really getting higher and higher. Not only can he hear most of Zhou You's words, but Zhou You also draws the two plants of bird grass and wild rice for the spirit snake to see. Understand.

Zhou You brought some spiritual springs back to the village, and Erleng came to inform Zhou You early the next morning: "Brother Zhou You, it's bad! A black-backed and white-bellied snake nearly ten meters long appeared in the medicine field. Dare to water it!"

Zhou You heard Er Leng's words, and hurried to the medicine field with the freshly refined elixir.

The spirit snake had a few herbs in its mouth, and indeed it had been traveling around for a long time but could not find those two herbs.

"Thank you very much." Zhou You said gratefully.It is so convenient to have a partner like Spirit Snake. All the deep mountains near Lingquan Village are like its back garden to Spirit Snake. As long as there are things in the mountains, there is almost nothing that Spirit Snake can't find!

Spirit Snake got Zhou You's elixir and left immediately.

Zhou You quickly took a look at the herbs that Spirit Snake had helped to pick. They were well preserved and could be transplanted immediately.

Zhou You planted these herbs in the medicine field and told Er Leng to focus on taking care of them in the past few days.Although these herbs are rare, they grow very well under the irrigation of Lingquan and reproduce very fast.

It took only a few days for the cultivation to spread, and Er Leng was even worried that if it continued to grow like this, the land for other herbs in the field would be robbed.

At this time, the weeds on the barren mountain had been pulled out, and according to Zhou You's instructions, the water added to the Lingquan also covered the land for two days.

Zhou You saw that the timing was almost right, so he asked Er Leng to find someone to transplant these herbs to the mountain.Although the soil quality of the barren hills is not as good as that of the medicine fields, the growth of the herbs will definitely be much slower, but by the beginning of spring, there will be these herbs all over the mountains and plains, and Zhou Zhuang will definitely make a nest by then, and there is no need for Zhou You to take the initiative to catch pheasants and hares , they will automatically be attracted by these herbs!
At this time, the village head Mu Xue also found Zhou You and said that he had selected several abandoned fish ponds.

Zhou You took a look at the document that Mu Xue handed him, and there were about five or six fish ponds in almost the entire Lingquan Village.

Zhou You saw at a glance that one of the fish ponds belonged to Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang is Zhou Zhuang's cousin, and the land he contracted to himself is also in the form of dividends.

Zhou You said to Mu Xue: "I don't have any experience in fish farming now, so it is impossible to contract all the fish ponds."

"Of course." Mu Xue said, "Anyway, these fish ponds are also abandoned, so don't worry about it. You can choose a contractor to try it out first."

"Then Uncle Zhou Wang's." Zhou You said without thinking.

In fact, Mu Xue roughly guessed Zhou You's thoughts. After all, closeness is different. Zhou Wangken contracted the land to him in the form of dividends under hopeless circumstances, which has already left a very important place in Zhou You's heart.

"I knew you would choose Zhouwang." Mu Xue said proudly, "So the document I prepared for you is the contract assignment letter for Zhouwang Fish Pond."

As Mu Xue said, she looked at Zhou You proudly, with an expression of "I'm pretty good".

"You are the best." Zhou You said with a smile, "The barren hills and fish ponds have bothered you. When the time comes, I will let you eat all the pheasants, hares, and wild fish for free!"

"That's about the same." Hearing Zhou You's words, Mu Xue laughed happily, which was brighter than today's bright weather.

Zhou You and Mu Xue came directly to Zhou Wang's home. Zhou Wang happened to be eating lunch. Seeing Zhou You coming, he quickly stood up: "Zhou You, have you had lunch yet?"

"It just so happens that I'm hungry too!" Zhou You was not polite, and went directly to fill two bowls of rice, and handed one to Mu Xue.

Because Zhou Wang’s land was contracted to Zhou You in the form of dividends, Zhou You asked Zhou Wang to go to the farm every day to pick vegetables for free.

At first, Zhou Wang was a little embarrassed, after all, Zhou You had given him tens of thousands of dividends in only two months, and it would be inappropriate to take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, this vegetable was so delicious that Zhou Wang couldn't stop eating it. He thought it would be a big deal to ask for less dividends in the future, and he ate vegetables from Zhou You in every meal.

Although these vegetables do not have Zhou You's medicinal diet, they are still delicious. Zhou You and Mu Xue chatted with Zhou Wang while eating, and the meal was quickly finished.

After eating, Zhou Wang said to Zhou You: "Zhou You, why did you come to see me on purpose?"

"I know Uncle Zhou Wang that you have a fish pond in the south of the village, which has been abandoned for a long time, why not contract it to me." Zhou You said directly.

Zhou Wang immediately said: "If you don't mention that fish pond, I will almost forget it. If you use it, you can take it for free. Anyway, I eat the vegetables you grow every day these days, and I ask you for so much dividends. I'm sorry."

"That's not allowed." Zhou You said with a smile, "If Zhou Wang is willing, of course I will pay you a reasonable price to contract the fish pond."

"It really doesn't cost money!" Zhou You said resolutely, "But I want to remind you that I also wanted to raise fish in Lingquan Village back then, but unfortunately the area near the fish pond was also saline-alkali land, and the salt flowed into the fish pond, and ordinary fish could not be raised at all. I can't live! I lost a lot of money back then, and my mother-in-law almost didn't divorce me!"

"Uncle Zhou Wang, you don't have to worry about that. I can grow so many vegetables on the saline-alkali soil, and I can also raise good-quality fish in fish ponds." Zhou You said with a smile, "If you really don't want me, Uncle Zhou Wang If you don’t have the money, then we will give you dividends at the end of the year just like land contracting!”

"That's fine." Zhou Wang said with a smile, "I have seen your ability Zhou You. Even though I lost money back then, I still have some experience in fish pond farming. If you don't mind, I will help you!"
