Uncle Chen and his son came back quickly, and Zhou Xiang took them to the front yard. "24 meters east of this gate is the land I contracted.
The gate is 8 meters wide. With the gate as the center, build a 10-meter-wide road. When it reaches a two-meter long position, it starts to split into three branches!
I originally planned to build a two-pronged fork, but now the pigpen has been forced in, so it has become a three-pronged fork.
One fork leads to the park gate, one fork leads to the cement road in the backyard, and one fork leads to the high platform on the west wall of the pigpen.
We'll build a few steps on the platform so people can get in and out of the pigpen. I plan to make the pigpen a place for visitors to see. After all, I grew up in a food station, and I've always been curious about the difference between this kind of pigpen and those in rural areas."
Uncle Chen and his son opened their eyes wide in surprise, "Miss Zhou, the pigpen is also a place for tourists to visit?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "Why can't the pigsty be visited? City people are curious about so many things. Besides, this pigsty is different from ordinary ones. You should go in and take a look."
Uncle Chen and his son really climbed up the platform and entered the pigpen. After a while, they jumped down again.
"Miss Zhou, the place inside is very large and clean. It's all cement flooring, and each compartment is spacious enough to hold at least a dozen pigs."
"That's natural. When the food station was at its peak, we could move hundreds of pigs a day!"
“How do you operate the pigpen?”
"Clean up the dirt, re-cement the roof, walls, and floor. In the activity area south of the pig pen, leave the row of pig troughs untouched. Plant trees at the four corners. It would be best if you could buy larger trees.
Then, buy ten piglets and put one in each pigpen."
"Raising pigs?" Uncle Chen and his son were even more surprised.
"Yes! We raise pigs. We put a small trough in the pigpen and a basket on the wall. We put cabbage or something in it. In short, we use the cheapest vegetables in season that the piglets like to eat. We leave it for visitors to feed."
"ah?"
"Ah what? Just follow my instructions."
"yes."
"The pigpen must be kept clean, even cleaner than your own home. When the piglets arrive, you should bathe them and play with them every day, just like raising pets.
You can find someone in the village who is willing to do this, regardless of gender or age. Two people are enough, and you can take turns cleaning and bathing the piglets together in the morning, and then one person can be on duty in the afternoon."
"yes."
"Let's go back to the front yard. After the three forks are opened in the front yard, trees must be planted on all the roadsides. They can be fruit trees, but if they are fruit trees, they must be the same species.
Aside from the three single dormitories on the westernmost side, the remaining five rooms are fenced off with a small courtyard. The front walls of the office and dormitory are also decorated with wooden fences. The overall effect is that it looks like living in the woods, using trees to build a house.
Now let's talk about this three-branch cement road. It's best to build it like a tree. The main trunk leads to the backyard, the other two branches are secondary trunks, the branches leading to the single dormitory and the office door are branches, and the branches leading to the processing room door and the well are slightly thicker branches.
The remaining land will be filled with new soil and planted with turf. Do you understand?"
Uncle Chen and his son were both stunned by Miss Zhou's idea. After calming down, Uncle Chen said, "Miss Zhou, we understand and can do it, but can we maintain it in the future? The townspeople are very vulgar."
"Don't worry, you can use cement bricks to build some trash cans on the roadside, cover them with tree bark, and make a few very primitive stools out of trees and stand them on the roadside. Hehehe, I will send people to investigate the sanitation violations and fine them if they are caught. This is my territory, I have the final say."
Uncle Chen nodded. "That's good. I just imagined what Miss Zhou said and it felt so beautiful. It would be a shame if it was ruined by someone else."
"Hurry up, it's already mid-March, during the Qingming Festival, and many people like to go out for an outing. It will be faster if you two work separately.
Also, at the western boundary, there are wooden fences on both sides of the road. This fence can be shorter, 50 to 60 centimeters will be enough.”
"Well! Let's start looking for people to do the work and purchase wood and cement."
"Ask someone to deliver the goods first, and after they are delivered, ask Mao Xiaolu to exchange the payment."
"yes."
"Buy more cement and pave all the ground in the backyard with cement, and plant trees on both sides of the existing road."
"Okay, okay, we'll find Master Ma Gua right away and start repairing the backyard first, then the front yard."
Zhou Xiang nodded in relief. She did it on purpose. Uncle Chen could immediately think of the order of priority, which showed that he was really insightful.
"Tell Master Ma Gua that I'm in a hurry and ask him to send more people."
"yes."
Uncle Chen and his son hurried out of the food station. Zhou Xiang looked at the dilapidated iron gate and told herself that this gate had nothing to do with her. At most, in a year or so, this broken gate would no longer exist.
When I got home, I sketched out my description. Hmm! From a bird's eye view, it really does look like a big tree!
"Teacher, do you think my idea is acceptable?"
Professor Chu took the blueprint and asked, "Is this the front yard?"
"Yes."
Putting down the blueprint, Professor Chu looked up and said, "Zhou Xiang! Sometimes I feel like you chose the wrong major. Civil engineering is the right major for you."
"It's just a hobby. If I wasn't designing for myself, I wouldn't have the time to plan for others!"
"Okay, this design fits the park perfectly, but isn't this right fork a pigpen?"
"It's a pigsty. I plan to raise pigs."
"Puff," Zhou's father, who was drinking tea, sprayed the tea in his mouth. "Think about it, what are you going to do?"
God bless him! He finally left that smelly and dirty pigpen and is about to retire to enjoy a peaceful life. My little girl, please don’t let him go back to his old job!
"Dad!" Zhou Xiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I won't let you go back to raising pigs."
Father Zhou patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good. Just go back to the days when you were no longer your father."
Zhou Xiang turned around and ignored his father, and repeated to the teacher the ideas he had expressed to Uncle Chen and his son.
Professor Chu became interested. "Oh my! Are you planning to open a zoo?"
"I'm not planning to open a zoo, but a pig farm so that the kids can see where the pork they love comes from."
"Are you going to make all the kids vegetarian?"
"That's impossible. No matter how kind-hearted children are, as long as they don't see the slaughtering scene, they will eat any meat they are given."
"Are you sure?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's certain or not. Changing to a vegetarian diet is not bad. It's healthy."
"Alright! It's good to let the kids see it. In the capital, I've seen some spoiled children who think pork is cut into pieces!"
"Well! I plan to open this pigpen here for free. After the one-child policy, many families with one child are extremely spoiled. You won't see them in the market town, but there are already many in the county town.
Like Ma Shasha and Tong Lei, they can't tell right from wrong."
Professor Chu agrees, "Free is good, free is good."
