Going up the mountain, he saw smooth mountain roads that looked like scenic spots, brand-new valleys, and vibrant bamboo roosters... Father Xu was a little unbelievable.
Is this really his bamboo forest? It looks like it has been replaced.
“Yinyin, did you do all this yourself?”
“The stone slabs and cobblestones were laid by masons hired by the town, and I made the valley myself. How about it? Not bad, right?”
More than good!
That’s quite good!
Since walking around the mountain, Xu Weiguo has calmed down a lot, and he is no longer so anxious about taking care of his health at home.
his father was right, Yin Yin was much more capable than him, and planned Zhushan even better than his father.
Then what’s there to be anxious about?
What’s more, when he returned to the hospital for a follow-up examination a week later, the doctor said that his indicators were improving.
This made him feel so hot that he couldn't do heavy work, so he sat at home and knitted bamboo strips with the old man. As long as he rests on time, Feng Cuiqin won't say anything to him.
During this period of time, Xu Yin made a rough plan for the two hills:
In the bamboo forest close to my home, a winding and quiet stone path is opened on the mountainside. A bamboo house is built at the end. A set of stone tables and benches are placed in front of the house so that the family can rest while working in the mountain. Lunch can also be eaten here. .
In another bamboo forest on the hilltop, we plan to interplant with Trifolium aurantia, Anomatis and Polygonatum.
She had grown these three medicinal herbs in her lifetime as the vicious mistress.
Three-leaf green has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, activating blood circulation and relieving pain, dispelling wind and reducing phlegm, and anti-tumor.
She has searched online and found that in the current medicinal material market, good-quality fresh tubers can be sold for thousands of yuan per catty, and an output of one acre can earn hundreds of thousands.
Anoectochilus has many medicinal effects such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Planting is not difficult. You only need to spread a layer of humus soil under the bamboo forest to simulate the wild environment.
As for Polygonatum, it can nourish qi and yin, strengthen the spleen and lungs. It can be used not only as a medicinal material, but also as a vegetable. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and can be eaten raw or stewed. Although the unit price is not as high as that of three-leaf green, the yield per mu is high, and it can generate income for people of all ages in one year.
These three medicinal materials, except Anoectochilus, are planted in spring and harvested in autumn. They are harvested once a year, and the return on investment is very fast;
Three-leaf green and Polygonatum sibiricum take at least three years from planting to harvesting. Xu Yin regards them as long-term investments in stocks.
After planning, she began to select and cut bamboos to make room for building bamboo houses, paving platforms, and interplanting medicinal materials.
The chopped bamboo can be used to weave various bamboo utensils at home, and the demand for bamboo strips is huge.
The cut bamboo branches and ears are not wasted and tied into bamboo fences to first enclose a vegetable patch in the backyard and then a flower bed in the front yard.
There are many more, just insert them by the path in front of the house, all the way to the village road. Plant a rose every few meters so that the fence can be covered with walls in spring.
At that time, this will be a flower road.
During this period, forty or fifty chicks hatched successfully.
Newly born chickens are relatively weak, so they should be raised in the backyard for a month or two before being released into the valley.
The big chicken raises the chicks, starting the ecological breeding of bamboo forest chickens.
When the bamboo strips at home were piled up in a thick pile and a clearing was made on the mountainside to build the bamboo house, Xu Yin downloaded a bamboo house construction method from the computer, and while thinking about it, she dug the foundation and built the bamboo house. Room.
Feng Cuiqin would come up the mountain to help after finishing her housework.
“Yin Yin, when I went to Hebu to wash clothes, I met the village chief uncle. He asked us if we have made Zhushan so beautiful. Are we planning to take tour groups in the future?”
Xu Yin was stunned: "Pick up a tour group?"
Xu Yin shook her head: "Let's talk about this later! Doing the tourist business is actually quite tiring."
"That's right! Your dad hasn't recovered yet, so don't worry about it. Let's wait until later!"
Feng Cuiqin is looking forward to life now. Her daughter is so capable. She raises chickens and grows medicinal herbs. It seems that there is nothing she can’t do. I even got a brochure on new bamboo weaving techniques for the two elders in my family. The bamboo utensils made according to this brochure are as beautiful as works of art.
"I am very contented now. You are back home, your father's illness has been cured, and both worries have been resolved. Next year, I will try to pay back the money I owe your cousin, and I will really have no regrets. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the **** in Feng Cuiqin's hand made a clanging sound as if it hit the stone wall.
“Oops, there’s water coming out.”
Xu Yin took a closer look: "It's okay, Mom, it should be underground water. It's a good thing that underground water is coming out here. It saves me from diverting water from elsewhere..."
Eh, that’s not right!
Her hands felt warm when they touched the water seeping out of the ground.
This...could it be a hot spring?
“Mom, give me a **** and I’ll dig some more and take a look.”
She took the **** Feng Cuiqin handed her and pried a protruding stone wall under the soil. With a little effort, she saw a small column of steaming water break out of the wall, like a small fountain. The colorful halo of the rainbow is reflected in the sunlight, and then falls back to the surface, gurgling along the slope.
“It’s really a hot spring!” Xu Yin was extremely excited.
“Hot spring?”
“Yes! Hot spring! Bamboo Forest Hot Spring!”
Feng Cuiqin stepped forward to try the temperature of her hands and found that it was really warm. No wonder it was called a hot spring.
“But what’s the use of this hot spring?”
…”
Xu Yin answered Xu Ma's doubts while digging a small pond under the hot spring outlet to store water.
When there is time to expand it into a hot spring pool, there will be hot springs for bathing in winter.
After listening to her daughter's detailed enumeration of the effects of the hot springs, Feng Cuiqin said happily: "Then let your dad take a bath. Will your body recover faster?"
“It’s okay, but don’t soak it for too long.”
“Of course! This hot spring has so many uses, and it sounds more precious than oil, so you must use it sparingly!”
Xu Yin: “…”
This doesn’t seem to mean the same thing as what I said.
Grandpa Xu and Dad Xu were very excited when they learned that a rare hot spring was dug out of their bamboo forest. They packed up a change of clothes that day and went up the mountain to experience the hot spring.
The hot spring pool has not yet been built, so I brought a bamboo bathtub with me, which is equivalent to directing the hot spring water into the bamboo bathtub and enjoying the hot spring sitz bath.
“Dad, have you finished soaking it?”
Xu Weiguo walked slowly along the stone path and came back. He found the old man still sitting in the bathtub and couldn't help but urge:
“The sun is almost setting, and the mosquitoes will come out soon.”
“Yinyin has planted a lot of mosquito repellent grass, but there are not so many mosquitoes on the mountain now.”
…”
Am I discussing with you how many mosquitoes there are? I'm letting you, old man, get up now. It's time for me to soak!
