A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 24 Contracting
"I came to the mountain at around six or seven in the morning, and it was still going around after eleven o'clock. Even though Fatty Zeng didn't think he was fat, he was still running around all morning. I said let's go down the mountain to eat first, and the gentleman said It's enough to just eat some dry food on the mountain. He has pushed other people's work for a day. Today is only one day, so hurry up and look at the place. I was too lazy to follow him, and accidentally sprained my foot, so I went down the mountain by myself. I'm back, and I don't dare to walk even with my sprained feet. I was so exhausted along the way." Zhang Hu kept talking as he spoke.

"Have you found any good place?" Zhang Lan was curious.

"He can take his turn in good places. There are several good places, but they all belong to the owner. The funniest thing is that the Feng Shui master saw a good place on the mountain and said clearly that if you perform acupuncture there, you will definitely be rich and wealthy. It turned out that the top of the mountain Without paying attention, a group of people saw it when they were almost at the bottom. There was an earth temple there. When I walked in, I saw that the place where the teacher mentioned good acupuncture points was the place where the temple was built." Zhang Hu said and laughed again. .

"You have been running around every day for the past two months, and you are not in a hurry to go home. Why do you ask your father to work on more than 100 acres of land alone? It is better to tidy up the land at home than anything else." Zhang Lan's mother persuaded.

"It's okay, Auntie, I know what I'm doing. I've contracted a job. If I do it this year during the Chinese New Year, I'll subcontract the land."

"Mom, you don't have to worry about it. My uncle knows it. As for my brother, I will wait for him to deal with him after a while." Zhang Lan doesn't care about Zhang Hu, don't look at him now.The main reason is that the corn has been watered and sprayed with pesticides, and now there is not much work in the fields.After a while, the autumn harvest will still be the same as now. It's strange that he can tolerate his uncle's temper.

"By the way, Brother Hu, you are running out every day and we are familiar with each other in the countryside. Please ask me something." Zhang Lan suddenly remembered something.

"you say?"

"Who is in charge of the Xigou barrage in the west of our village? How much does it cost to contract it?" Zhang Lan was talking about an old river in the west of Qingshan Village, between Xishan and Beishan, about three or four miles away from the village.It used to be a separate village called Xigou Village. Later, during the construction of new rural areas, there were not many households there, so they all moved out and moved to Qingshan Village.The villagers there built a 5-meter-high barrage deep in the river to draw water. Now the village is abandoned and no one has used it. The barrage has become a paradise for children in the village to play in the water in summer.

"Then what are you doing as a contractor when the barrage doesn't even have water during the dry season? There's no land on both sides, except for rocks." Zhang Hu wiped his mouth with a tissue, lay down on the sofa, and asked lazily.

"You go and ask around first, and then I'll see if it's suitable."

"Don't ask, the price is ten yuan per acre, and the minimum contract price is [-] acres. There is no problem with the contract, but what are you going to do? The mountains are full of stone eggs, so it is difficult to plant anything." Zhang Hu said very familiarly.

"Why are you so clear?"

"I wanted to contract to build a shed on that mountain to raise some livestock, so I went to inquire about it. Now private buildings are not allowed on the mountain. Drones and satellites monitor the situation. If you find connections to build it, they will report it to the police. Satellite pictures show you clearly when construction will start." Zhang Hu started complaining as he spoke; "Not to mention in the mountains, now in the village you build a shed or something, the construction just started in the morning, and in the afternoon Just call."

"What if I contracted the entire village from the entrance to the back of Xigou Village?" Zhang Lan thought for a while and had a plan in mind. "There is also wasteland on the slope. The total cost of that piece of land is 10,000+ per year. I have calculated it before and it is not cost-effective. If it were cost-effective, someone in our village would have contracted it." Zhang Hu calculated clearly.

"Our village is now developing along the provincial road to the east. We will allocate homesteads and build facade houses on both sides of the road. If the business is good, we can earn more than [-] a year from food and tourism. Who has nothing to do to contract the Xigou Village? , What a waste of money." Zhang Lan's mother said at the side.

"My aunt is right. Zhang Lan, please give up this idea as soon as possible. This is just throwing money into it." Zhang Hu saw that Zhang Lan was a little moved and quickly dissuaded him.

"I know. Even if you want to contract, I don't have that much money. I just want to ask." Zhang Lan waved his hand.

Zhang Hu had already eaten and drank enough. He was sitting on the sofa and picking his teeth lazily with a toothpick. Looking at Zhang Lan's thoughtful look, he couldn't help but say: "Zhang Lan Are you still thinking about that? What’s so good about that place? There are rocks everywhere. You can’t do anything except grazing. The problem is that you don’t need to contract for grazing. There are many mountains here, so you can do whatever you want.”

"Since the opening of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, we haven't had major droughts in the past few years. I was thinking of contracting the mountain to plant wild jujube trees. Nothing grows on the mountain, but wild jujube trees will definitely grow. Then we can plant them on the mountain. Wild medicinal materials, as long as there is no severe drought year, there will definitely be a harvest every year." Zhang Lan thought for a while and then stated his plan directly.

"It's okay to grow wild jujubes. The problem is that if you plant wild jujubes, it will take several years from the beginning to the time they bear fruit. And in today's society, someone might jump out and say that there is something illegal in your contract when the fruit is about to bear. Then you will invest tens or even millions and lose even the last penny." Zhang Hu persuaded him earnestly.

"Zhang Lan, let me tell you, just because you are looking after people in our village, someone has reported it to the township and the city, saying that you are practicing medicine illegally. Brother Yong knew it and said hello, so no one came down to investigate. You. From now on, you should stop giving people acupuncture and just burn incense and kowtow. Now that your name has been spread, you have to pay more attention."

Hearing Zhang Hu talk about being reported, Zhang Lan turned to look at his mother, then turned to Zhang Hu and said: "I understand, this is either planning to contract some wasteland or looking for something to do. This After burning incense and looking at things, I will gradually push forward."

"The main thing is that you are so clever. Come here to burn incense, get something and put some money in. You can perform magic and acupuncture on people. Minor ailments will be cured and old ailments will be alleviated. There is no need to see a doctor. Then I won't report you." Report someone." Zhang Hu couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Lan burst out laughing. Although Zhang Hu didn't elaborate, he knew in his heart that this was a touching cake.Yes, such a big village has thousands of people.Whoever has a headache or brain fever should not go get some medicine, or someone who is elderly and suffering from geriatric diseases should not receive infusions for maintenance. Come to him to burn incense and worship Buddha and spend hundreds of dollars. Not only is it faster than going for injections and infusions, but it is also better. No need to suffer anything.There are five or six clinics in Qingshan Village alone, and there is no clinic in the nearby village. Zhang Lan's reputation is getting wider and wider, and it affects money.

　Readers, please be more careful when going out now, and try not to go out if possible.Now three of the five members of the author's family are sick, two have fever and one has a constant runny nose.In our village, families are now experiencing fever and illness.The entrance of the village doctor has been crowded with electric vehicles for the past two days.There are also entire buildings in the city, and express delivery has been suspended.Postal Logistics, which was the last one able to deliver, also informed four of the five couriers yesterday that it was completely shut down.Nowadays, it is advertised that colds have no sequelae, but who knows who gets sick? My sister-in-law's fever turned negative after she recovered. It has been eleven days now, and she still has no sense of taste or smell at all.
