The happy life of the great landowner

Chapter 32
Three days later in the morning, as soon as Chen Ye arrived at the pond, he saw Zhou Bo standing by the pond leading his younger brothers. Head: "Speak up, call Brother Ye."

The seven teenagers hurriedly shouted in unison with playful faces: "Brother Ye."

Chen Ye waved his hand, then walked in front of the seven people, and raised their palms. The calluses on the palms were thick, obviously they were often doing farm work, and then he asked the seven people's names, and the seven people answered one by one.

Zhou Bo walked up to Chen Ye and asked softly, "Chen Ye, how is it? They have all done farm work, and they are not afraid of being tired."

Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction, his eyes flicked across the faces of the seven people, and he said quite seriously: "You were all introduced by Zhou Bo, and I believe you too, but I am a straight-talking person, and I always put the villain first. Gentleman, since you are here, I will not treat you badly. Follow me from now on, take care of food and drink, and you will definitely not make less money, but if I find out that you are lazy and slippery, then don't blame me for turning your back on others. Listen! do you understand?"

Zhou Bo didn't expect that Chen Ye would give them seven down as soon as he came up. Seeing that the seven were still smiling and not doing anything right, he hurriedly winked at them and reminded them.

Chen Ye's voice suddenly raised several tones: "I'll say it again, did you hear me?"

The seven people casually agreed with disapproval: "I heard it."

Chen Ye walked up behind them, raised his hand, and kicked them to the ground one by one: "Didn't you eat? Or there are no eggs down there, man! Do you hear me?"

The seven teenagers were usually rebellious. Although they listened to Zhou Bo's words, it didn't mean they would understand Chen Ye's words. Now that Chen Ye is not their boss, they kicked them as soon as they came up. How could this be tolerated!
"Beat him." Among the seven people, a dark-skinned boy spoke first, and then the other six immediately rushed towards Chen Ye.

The corner of Chen Ye's mouth raised. This is what he wanted, and then he didn't retreat but advanced. With one kick, he kicked the boy who was rushing in front to the ground, and then let the fist of the second boy pass, and turned around. He swung his legs back and kicked him to the ground.

After repeated rounds like this, the seven teenagers all lay on the ground screaming in pain.

"Okay, stop pretending, I didn't even use my strength." Chen Ye stretched out his hand and pulled up a young man on the ground.

After the seven teenagers stood up one after another, they looked at Chen Ye with some fear. They didn't expect that Chen Ye, who looked gentle, would fight so fiercely.

"Now pick up the hoe and follow me up the mountain. Zhou Bo, you stay in the pond and watch." After Chen Ye finished speaking, he left the pond with seven teenagers and came all the way to Li Ru's house.

"Look at the white mark?" Chen Ye pointed to the mark that had been made in advance, and said to the seven teenagers: "This morning, let's turn over the marked soil first, and in the afternoon, we will carry the straw up and burn it to make ashes." Fat."

The seven teenagers looked at the barren mountain in front of them, they all looked surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Ye, it's useless to fertilize this land, right?"

"It's useful if I say it's useful. Don't ask so many questions, just go up to work with me." Chen Ye didn't want to explain to them, so he immediately picked up his head and took the lead up the mountain.

The seven teenagers looked at me and I looked at you. After hesitating for a while, they followed up the mountain.

The news that Chen Ye led seven teenagers to open up wasteland spread like wildfire in the village. Many villagers came to watch the excitement. When they saw them sweating and digging the ground under the scorching sun, many people secretly laughed. , because this barren mountain is a ligated woman, even if the seeds are planted, they will not sprout, and if the seedlings are planted, they will all wither.

Wang Dianzhu clasped his hands in front of his chest, feeling even more proud, and secretly said: "Chen Ye, Chen Ye, even if you break the hoe, don't let things grow in this field."

Chen Ye put down the hoe in his hand, couldn't help wiping his sweat, and then said: "Okay, let's rest for a while, come down to my house for lunch at noon, there are fruits at home, and we will continue to work in the afternoon."

After listening, the seven sweaty teenagers put down their hoes and sat on the ground, not caring about getting their pants dirty, but seeing Chen Ye still standing, they all secretly admired him: "Brother Ye, we I heard that you are good at reading, but I didn't expect you to do farm work better than us."

"Really?" Chen Ye blushed a little after being praised so much. He hadn't done much farm work since he was a child. Compared with the skillful movements of the seven teenagers, if he didn't rely on the reformed system, he would really know how to do it. Tired enough.

After resting for a while, without Chen Ye calling, the seven teenagers stood up spontaneously, pooh-poohed their palms twice, swung their hoes and continued to work.

Until the sun climbed above his head, Chen Ye took out his mobile phone to check the time, and then swung the hoe on his shoulder: "Okay, go to my house for dinner."

As soon as the seven teenagers heard about eating, they immediately put their hoes on their shoulders and jumped down the mountain.

For lunch, Chen Ye was not stingy either. He fished out a dozen prawns from the pond and made them spicy and delicious. Then he boiled a large pot of pork bone soup, fried a few plates of vegetables and a large pot of prawns. Braised pork, everyone's mouths are full of oil.

After the meal, Chen Ye took out the durian again, cut it into chunks and served it to them. Although the durian was a bit smelly, the seven teenagers dared to try it at a young age, so they didn't hesitate to pick it up and eat it.

"Brother Ye, this fruit is really delicious. It tastes smooth and has a special fragrance."

"Isn't it? I have grown up so much, and I have never eaten such a rare thing."

The seven teenagers were also half-grown children, and they didn't know they were tired after doing it. They also ate a lot of food. It didn't take long for ten catties of durian to go into their stomachs.

Chen Ye smiled, and explained the efficacy of durian to them. The eyes of the seven teenagers widened, and he said after a while, "Brother Ye, from what you said, this fruit is almost like a ginseng fruit."

The work of reclaiming the land during the day was very boring and arduous, but when Chen Ye saw that he had reclaimed the land with one hoe after another, the unprecedented satisfaction he felt was simply indescribable.

At night, Chen Ye did not slack off, and continued to ripen the shrimp seedlings with beads of sweat to breed more shrimp eggs.

After working for more than 20 days, part of the land on the barren hills was finally reclaimed. Chen Ye asked seven teenagers to prepare to sow and fertilize the land. During the day, they used the water pumped from Li Ru’s well to irrigate the land, and at night, they mixed sweat with spring water. .

It was the end of the month in the blink of an eye. Looking at the sprouted seedlings growing on the mountain, Chen Ye and Zhou Bo smiled heartily.

But soon, Zhou Bo couldn't laugh anymore, because it will be a full month soon, and Zeng Nuo's wages for the seven teenagers have not yet been settled, and during this period of time, physical labor is exhausting, and Chen Ye spends a lot of money every day Buying fish, meat and seafood, and serving them in turns to replenish energy for everyone, will naturally cost a lot.

That night, Zhou Bo and Chen Ye came to the cave as usual. While Zhou Bo was pumping the spring water, he then told Chen Ye about the salary with a sad face: "Why don't I talk to them and delay the payment?" Salary will be paid in a few months."

After hearing this, Chen Ye immediately refused: "No, since I said to pay wages, I must pay them wages."

Zhou Bo's face was full of worries: "But if we pay our wages, how can we still have money to buy chemical fertilizers and grow durians?"

During this period of time, the daily expenses are very high, and the money spent every day is like water, and the money is used up unconsciously.

Chen Ye thought for a while, and then said to Zhou Bo: "How about this? I'll go to the village committee tomorrow to have a look. Didn't the county promise to give us a subsidy? We applied for it a while ago, and Wang Dianzhu also promised to send it to me. I'll go find him tomorrow."

When Zhou Bo heard this, the sadness on his face did not decrease but increased: "Chen Ye, although you said so, but Wang Dianzhu is a pure villain, can you believe what he said? I have heard my mother say it, several times No subsidy has been distributed to the villagers, and although some have been distributed, only one-third of them have received it."

Chen Ye sat up, and then said: "How about this, let's sell some shrimp seedlings and exchange some money back. Aren't there many people in the village who are jealous that we can make money by raising shrimps? Then we just sell some to them, and we will sell them seven times." I’ve paid my salary, but I’m trying to figure out how to pay for Guomiao’s money.”

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to do it." Zhou Bo sighed helplessly. Now he realizes that the way to get rich is far from being as easy as he imagined. Raising shrimp requires feed, and this kind of land requires fertilizer. People have to take care of their meals, and they have to spend money in all aspects. If it is not for Chen Ye to be in charge of the house, and relying on him alone, this road to wealth will not go on at all.

The next day, Chen Ye went to Peng Yan and explained to her that he wanted to sell shrimp seedlings.

Peng Yan was a little curious, so she asked Chen Ye if there was a problem with the funds. Chen Ye didn't say it clearly, but from his expression, Peng Yan also guessed something.

Just when Peng Yan was going to use the village radio to promote Chen Ye, Chen Ye immediately persuaded her: "Auntie, you must not make such a publicity, if you do, then the uncles in the village will think that I am a child. Only when the shrimp loses money will they transfer some of the shrimp seedlings, so instead of buying them, they will lose confidence in shrimp farming.”

After what Chen Ye said, Peng Yan also nodded, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

After Chen Ye thought for a while, an idea came to his mind, and he said to Peng Yan, "Auntie, isn't there a pond at the west end of the village that is empty recently?"

When Peng Yan heard this, she nodded: "Recently, Chen Han's son earned money in other places, so he took him over to enjoy the blessings, so the pond he contracted for was vacant. Why do you ask this?"

When Chen Ye heard it, he was overjoyed, and then told Peng Yan his plan in Peng Yan's ear.

After Peng Yan finished listening, Liu Mei frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Ye suspiciously: "Can this method really work?"

Chen Ye's face was full of smiles, and he patted his chest to assure him: "Auntie, you trust me, I will not aim at nothing, if I am not sure, I will not ask you to do so."

Seeing his confident look, Peng Yan nodded suspiciously.

Afterwards, Chen Ye told Peng Yan that he would go to the village committee first and asked Peng Yan to come back later.

After arriving at the village committee, Wang Dianzhu was snoring on his desk at the moment, soundly asleep.

Chen Ye immediately walked to his desk and kicked him hard, causing Wang Dianzhu to fall to the ground in fright.

Seeing that Chen Ye was playing a prank, Wang Dianzhu first cursed bitterly, and then said, "What are you doing with this doll? It's not big or small."

Chen Ye sat down on the desk, and said carelessly: "Village chief, I heard that Uncle Chen Han's pond in the west of the village is vacant, and I want to subcontract it. Do you think there is a problem?"
