Chapter 543 Base
This can no longer be simply described as lively.
Zhao Yeqing used to think his home was empty, but now he just feels cramped. This yard of several hundred square meters is really too small...
Before we could figure out how to arrange accommodation, five or six tents were set up inside the wooden fence at night.
It was quite easy and she didn't have to worry about anything.
Not only that, she had originally prepared herself to grit her teeth and work hard for several months, but now a group of people went out to work during the day, and came back in the afternoon. Mu Xi dragged out a sheep, and a dozen young men killed the sheep in no time, cleaned it, and put it on the fire.
Some were cooking, some were roasting lamb, some were skewering, and some were threading skewers. It was probably because the old lady had gone back to the city, otherwise there would probably be people there to chat with her.
All she had to do all day was to cook a big pot of iced mung bean soup, or make a big basin of iced passion fruit tea and take it to where they worked, or deliver lunch or something.
The expected migrant workers turned out to be the logistics and cooking team.
Zhao Yeqing was quite embarrassed, and was comforted by one of the younger brothers who was only 20 years old: "It's okay, we were busy some time ago, and we are bored in the city during this vacation. We have been staying in this small city for several years and cannot go out. This trip is just like a trip. The last time I traveled was when I was in elementary school."
That’s right, at the age of 20, he was just an elementary school student more than eight years ago.
Mu Xi also told her not to think too much: "A lot of things at home depend on you, such as the vegetable fields, livestock, and silkworm houses. I am worried that you will be too tired at home alone."
The housework was easy, and Zhao Yeqing worked slowly by himself. He got up in the morning to weed and pick vegetables, cooked a big pot of rice and sent it to the master at noon, and in the afternoon he sometimes cleaned the barn and sometimes practiced weaving.
All the cotton in the cotton field has been harvested. Each cracked cotton boll contains about four cotton pods, each of which is filled with small black seeds. These are the capital for her to plant soon.
The land was reclaimed much faster than she had imagined, and almost all of it was ready in less than a week.
This is also because the equipment that Mu Xi ordered from the city, in addition to the greenhouse and irrigation monitoring system, also included borrowing a small excavator and getting an additional small tractor. This tractor is not the previous hand-held one, but a real fully automatic driving tractor.
Normally, the city would not sell him this kind of equipment because it has not yet been fully put into production. The reason they gave it to him is that the tractor is relatively small and its working efficiency on the land in the city is not very high. Another reason is that this machine originally belonged to the Feng family.
This time, after the assistant loaded the equipment he wanted onto the transport plane, the superiors had already installed the tractor and did not ask for money, saying that it was being returned to its original owner.
"It's yours in the first place. I've asked someone to check the machine and it's fine. We won't cover the gasoline." The assistant smiled and said, "But you still have to pay for the other equipment."
These equipments were not cheap, and all their savings were not enough to cover the debt. They did not ask the Feng family for money, but only agreed to pay off the debt with goods after the cotton was produced.
There is another reason for giving them this preferential treatment.
When Mu Xi, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng were on the meadow, they secretly discussed using their computers and mobile phones to plan the route from the city to the meadow. They had said that it would take more time and manpower to bypass the city that was completely swallowed by the abyss.
The city would not agree to this at this time without sufficient inducement.
So Mu Xi offered the most attractive conditions.
He placed the redrawn map in front of his assistant and said, "Actually, apart from that city, most of the roads leading to the meadow don't have very wide cracks, so the cost of manpower and material resources is not as high as imagined. In addition, because the meadow was previously developed into a tourist area, the road was originally new and the degree of damage was very small."
The assistant looked embarrassed: "Xiao Mu, we know, but the most urgent task now is to develop production..."
"It's about developing production." Mu Xi took out his previous notes again: "There are very few obstacles near the meadow, and the geological structure is stable. The large and small earthquakes that occurred in the past few years have had almost no impact on the meadow. The temperature, humidity and precipitation are also very even..."
When the assistant heard this, he thought Mu Xi wanted to say that he wanted to develop animal husbandry or planting on the meadow. He was about to refuse when he heard him change the subject and said in a deep voice:
“I asked the city to send someone to the meadow to do a wind resource assessment.”
......
Zhao Yeqing was dumbfounded when he heard this, "You mean..."
Mu Xi had a smile on his face, saying, "Since the ground fissure, water resources have dried up, and the power supply in the city has been very tight. Now we can't transmit electricity from west to east as before."
“So you want the authorities to build a wind farm on the meadow!”
Mu Xi pinched Zhao Yeqing's face, which was so dimple-like due to her surprise. He finally saw her eyes sparkling with happiness again. He said:
"It is thanks to you that you have been recording the weather and wind speed in the meadow for so many years that I am so confident in making this proposal. As long as a wind power station can be built, the city will build a road leading here, and a signal tower will be built on the meadow."
“And then I can go online?”
"Well, I think it can be done."
As soon as Mu Xi finished speaking, Zhao Yeqing's mouth, which had been grinning happily just now, suddenly deflated and his eyes turned red.
He suddenly ran out of ideas and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away his tears, still wondering in his mind whether he had said that wrong or had done it without consulting Zhao Yeqing and made her unhappy.
But he heard the person in front of him hugging him and sniffing, "Why are you so nice..."
That sentence was like a shot of stimulant for him. After he had reclaimed and taken care of the cotton fields on the meadow, he immediately went to the city to follow up on the wind power station.
I helped every step of the way and spent half a month in the city.
Finally, before the end of autumn, construction began on the road from the city to the meadow.
Zhao Yeqing is in charge of the one and a half mu of land on the meadow. It is not the time to plant cotton yet, so he only needs to take care of the autumn-sown wheat and rapeseed, which cannot be harvested before winter. This batch will have to wait until April next spring.
When the overwintering wheat and rapeseed are harvested, it is time for their small cotton base to be planted for the first time.
