Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 241 Turning corruption into magic
The Qingyu Peak contracted by Cheng He was entrusted to a large architect last year for the overall design, and now it has finally been completed and delivered to Cheng He.

The whole mountain has been repaired, as if it has been replaced by a different mountain, it is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.

Qingyu Peak was originally a barren mountain with many stones and weeds, which was not suitable for planting, so it was just idle.

Such hilltops are very common in the vicinity, and they are basically useless.

However, after nearly half a year of repairs by the great architect Lu Wenpeng, it is completely different now, and it is almost impossible to recognize the original appearance.

He didn't deliberately remove all the original stones on the top of the mountain. Some were left for inscriptions, and some were left as ornamental stones to carve out shapes.

Those stones are strange to say, after being slightly carved and reshaped by the masters he hired, they completely deviated from their original appearance and became full of spirituality. Even if they were placed there, they looked very beautiful and artistic. feel.

There used to be a small spring on the mountain, but it was slightly modified by Lu Wenpeng to form a long small waterfall.

The waterfall flows on the rock, and when it is illuminated by the sun, it looks like a jade belt in vain.

The small waterfall rushes down to a stream at the foot of the mountain, connecting the mountain and the water as a whole.

Some useless stones were collected and used by him, and they were built into stone paths full of sentiment.

The mountain that was originally used to plant Sulan has now become an ecological landscape garden.

He didn't deliberately add anything or make redundant carvings, but it is pleasing to the eye.

There are mountains and waters, gazebos and stone roads here.It will not take up too much planting area, but there is no angle on the entire mountain that is not beautiful.

The top of the mountain is not an isolated beauty. The stone steps on it and the stone steps of Taohua Village are in a unified style, just like the back garden of Taohua Village, forming a large whole.

The several resting pavilions on the top of the mountain are also gray tiles and white columns, which are very rustic and can make people feel peaceful.

On the day of completion, Cheng He was surprised.

Before he met Lu Wenpeng, he planned to build a "Million Orchid Garden", which meant to plant a mountain top anyway.

The whole [-]-acre hill is full of Sulan, and when the wind blows, the whole Sulan dances, and the whole mountain is full of orchid fragrance.

That's about all he could think of.

But after the mountain top is transformed in this way, there is more than one "Million Orchid Garden" at all!The current Qingyu Peak is like a perfect landscape.

Even if Suran has not been planted, it is already very ornamental.

Sure enough, there is no problem in entrusting the matter to a designer like Lu Wenpeng.

Apart from the occasional stone paths, stone steps, and gazebos, there are also some low flowering plants interspersed on the entire mountain top, which are hidden next to a certain big rock, forming a natural scenery.

This mountain has a total of five hundred acres. These stones and small plants do not take up much space, but they can make the beauty of the mountain more natural.

Cheng He walked around the top of the mountain and was very satisfied with this transformation.

Now, the entire mountain is almost still full of Sulan. When the wind blows, the purple Sulan flowers are dancing and fragrant. There are also landscape pavilions where you can rest your feet and take pictures.

Much better than he had expected.

How do you say something?Turn decay into magic!
Not only him, but even the people in the village thought the transformed mountain tops looked good.

It doesn't need the artist's aesthetics, and it feels very comfortable to look at it intuitively.

After dinner, when there was still afterglow in the sky, they also took a walk on the stone steps of the mountain top to see the whole mountain top and the Peach Blossom Village behind them from a new perspective.

One by one couldn't help admiring:

"Heizi is well covered!"

"Yes, yes, this mountain has been repaired well! It used to look like this, but now it has been transformed into this! Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"He still has vision. When he said that he contracted the mountain, I still thought the mountain was not very good. It's really good to change it like this now."

"That's right, with such a change, it looks better than those parks. No wonder he said last year that after planting that orchid, a toll booth can be opened."

"This change is very beautiful, and there must be people who are willing to come for a fee."

Cheng He also walked in the crowd, listening to these words, a faint smile appeared on his face.

This can be regarded as the first relatively good result since he came home.

Last year's plan has only now seen the first results, and I still have a sense of accomplishment.

It is a foregone conclusion that Sulan seeds are sold directly. If you want to make more money, you have to find them from Su Lanhua.

The transformation of the hill can directly predict the tourism effect of Sulan Garden. It can be said that this has exceeded his expectations.

He now has a great deal of confidence in tourism projects.

Well, my heart is still a little happy.

Cheng Changgen, who did not go out to work in the village this year, asked Cheng He, "Heizi, are you planning to grow that kind of orchid on this mountain?"

Cheng Changgen's new home has already been occupied. In fact, most of the new houses in Taohua Village have already begun to be occupied, and only a few dozen households are still waiting for the final completion.

At that time, their family couldn't afford the money, so Cheng He paid for it.Wait until the tourism project recovers the cost and starts to make money, and then distribute dividends to them.

At this point, he is very grateful to Cheng He.

Cheng Changgen knew that the reconstruction of Taohua Village and the contract with the hilltop would be a tourist attraction project.The purpose of contracting the hilltop was originally to plant a kind of orchid.

That should be considered a cash crop.

He didn't quite understand that the area of ​​the mountain was not small, and it was measured to be 500 mu. Would all of it be planted?

Cheng He replied with a smile: "Brother Changgen, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Cheng Changgen slapped his chest loudly, as if he dared to break through mountains of knives and fire.

The people next to him heard it and immediately came over.

The eager eyes of each one showed that they, too, could help.

Cheng He said: "I want to transplant those Sulans here. The area is so large. I want to ask if you have time and would you like..."

"Then what's the point? It's on us!" Cheng Changgen said before he finished speaking.

"Yes, we will do these things."

"We'll help you out, so don't worry."

Not only Cheng Changgen, but everyone else said the same.

Previously, the first batch of Su Lan was planted by divisions in Cheng Shi's field.Later, there were many, and Cheng He transplanted them in his own field.

Now, to transplant all the harvested seeds and sprouted Sulan to the top of the mountain, the project is too heavy for him to complete alone.

The villagers are very enthusiastic. They are not good at other things, but farming is not difficult for them.

Cheng He can first contribute money to build a house for their family, and they help him plant some orchid seedlings, what's the point?
Cheng He said: "Then thank you in advance. In terms of wages..."

"Heizi, are you going to beat us? How much have you helped us since you've been back for so long? How dare we take money?"

"That's right, don't talk about money, we promise to help you grow it properly."

"Leave it to us, and these things will be done for you in a few days."

There are quite a few young people staying at home in the village this year, and some of them plan to plant their own fields and help the family make bamboo weaving during slack, so there are many people.

Now the farms are not very busy, so it is no problem to spend a few days.

Thanks to Yu Chenghe for his great help to the villagers, they expressed their willingness to help him do these things for free.

Cheng He said quickly: "That's okay, how can we not talk about money? This is not a small amount! This mountain is too big, and it can't be done in a day or two."

It is because of so much that he needs help.

But how could he get the villagers to help him for free?There are 500 acres of hills!Not a small area.

Even if the existing sulan seedlings plus seeds are not enough to cover the entire mountain, it is still a lot of work.

Moreover, the soil quality on the top of the mountain is not good, and there are many stones, so it is difficult to plant, and the speed cannot be accelerated.

How could he have the nerve to let someone plant it for free?
In addition, even from a commercial point of view, he can't afford not to pay. If he pays for his work, he will be held accountable, and he can be held accountable for any problems.

And based on this, they will be more serious and responsible.

Even if he knew that the villagers were very kind, he would not play tricks on him, but in business, everything should be done according to the regulations.

He would not delay the important event of Million Orchid Garden just to save that little expense.

In addition, Su Lan is not saying that it will be fine after planting. There will be weeding, pest control, irrigation, management, harvesting and other follow-ups, all of which need to be hired. It is impossible to ask people to help for free.

Cheng Changgen is still struggling: "Heizi, we know that you are doing it for our own good. But you said that we took the house as a shareholding, and our villagers are all shareholders. Isn't that the same as doing things for yourself? Doing things for yourself requires money?"

The rest also joined in.

Everyone knows how much benefit Cheng He has brought to the village since his return.Farming is a matter of effort, and they are willing to help.

Cheng He said: "One yard is one yard, and brothers have to settle accounts. If you are not at home, I will find someone else to plant, and I will pay for it?"

Everyone chattered and persuaded again, but Cheng He insisted, and the matter was settled like this.

In terms of price, it is calculated according to the price of ordinary field workers today.Some people hire few part-time workers and can provide meals.

But Cheng He had no way to pack the meal, so he also made up for it in the form of price.The villagers will eat at home.

Everyone worked hard for Cheng He. The soil in the mountains was not good, and the planting was slow and laborious, but no one complained.

Su Lanmiao is very precious, they all know it.

With this thing, Cheng He got a large amount of investment last year to have the money to transform the whole village.

Such precious things should naturally be cherished with care.
