Chapter 14: Land Reclamation
The barren mountain where Li Guoer lived had been abandoned for many years, and it was now covered with small trees, thorn bushes, and grass that was half a meter high.
30 workers were clearing the barren hill with sickles and axes. These people were good at work and worked very fast. It had only been a short time since they started, but they had already cleared a large area.
"Dad, have you contacted the crane?"
These wastelands are cleared manually and then tidied up with a crane, which can then dig out all the tree roots in the ground.
After the land is cleared, dig holes and plant fruit trees.
"I've made the contact and will come over tomorrow." Today is Saturday and Mr. and Mrs. Li don't have to go to work.
Li Guoer asked Li Xuezhu while wielding a sickle to cut grass: "When will the greenhouse builders arrive? They want it to be completed soon so we can start planting soon."
"It's also tomorrow. I've agreed with the greenhouse builder to build six greenhouses on 30 acres of land." Li Xuezhu said as he chopped down a small tree with an axe and would take it home to use as firewood.
He had to supervise the work, so Li Guoer didn't help with the clearing of land in the afternoon.
Instead, she went to the town with Luo Xianglian and bought several sets of bedding sets and toiletries for some of her close friends.
I went to the winery and bought 500 kilograms of liquor to make health-preserving wine. I also bought more than 10 pottery jars for making medicinal wine.
The winery in the town produces pure grain wine, which is not expensive and tastes good.
People from the surrounding villages like to come and buy it, which is directly packed in white plastic pots.
When we took the beehives, we found that 30 of them were a huge pile. It took our family van several tries to transport them all.
When I got home, I put the beehive directly into the flowers, fruit trees, etc. in the space. The sooner I put it in, the sooner I could collect honey.
After putting away the beehives, Li Guoer turned around and returned to the bamboo house to make some health-preserving wine. Ginseng, wolfberry, ganoderma lucidum... were put into the ceramic jar filled with white wine one by one, and then a small amount of spiritual spring water was added, and then the jar was sealed.
It took more than ten jars and 500 kilograms of wine to soak. I put it in the acceleration array for a while before taking it out and putting it in the wine cellar.
The next day, the crane started digging the mountain. Not to mention the digging speed was fast and deep, more than 2 meters deep. Of course, the price was also very good.
Although this barren mountain is called a mountain, it is just a 500-acre earth slope. There are no large gravels on the land that has been opened up, but only some tree roots, small gravels, thorn roots, grass roots, etc.
After the workers left at night, Li Guoer released the puppets and asked them to use magic to level the land again.
Grind all the gravel into powder, pick out the tree roots, grass roots, etc., and set them aside to dry. They can all be used as firewood later.
Using magic saves time and effort. If it is not for concealing the truth, there is no need to hire workers or cranes.
She was a little envious of these puppets, as they all knew magic, and she wanted to learn it until she reached the foundation-building stage.
When I finished my work and returned home, I saw a lot of materials for building a greenhouse in the yard, all of which were brought in today.
Zhou Ruolan and Luo Xianglian were cooking and recording a video at the same time.
"How long will it take before we can eat?" Li Guoer asked weakly.
Although she practiced, she was really tired and hungry after a busy day.
It seems that I need to practice body-building techniques. Now I am much stronger than a normal person, but my endurance is still a little lacking.
"My daughter, you must be hungry. It will be ready soon." Zhou Ruolan quickened her pace with concern, trying to let her daughter eat earlier.
Li Guoer responded with a "hmm", then took out a durian from the space, peeled out the flesh, and put it on the plate.
I also took some lychees, longans, and washed cherries and put them in the fruit plate to eat as after-meal fruit.
There are a lot of fruits in the space. Now my family members eat all kinds of fruits every day. They never get tired of eating them. They taste good and don’t cost money.
Tonight is the first time to shoot a video, and Zhou Ruolan specially prepared eight home-cooked dishes.
Steamed sea bass, braised prawns, braised soft-shelled turtle, sour radish and duck soup, shredded cabbage, stir-fried snow peas, stuffed peppers, and roasted eggplant.
Her cooking skills were inherited from Luo Xianglian, which is also amazing. The dishes she made are so delicious and beautiful that you want to eat them just by looking at them!
After placing the food on the table and having Zhou Ruolan take pictures, the family started eating.
"Wow! I can finally eat. It's not easy!" Guoer cheered, clapping her hands.
He also took out some Baihua wine and poured a cup for everyone.
Zhou Ruolan, who was sitting next to her, tapped her forehead and joked, "Little greedy cat, I don't think you're hungry at all! Otherwise, how could you have cried out?"
"Mom! I am your darling daughter! You can't say that to me!" Li Guoer pretended to be aggrieved and said with a wink.
The whole family laughed, ate delicious food, drank Baihua wine, and talked about the happy things of the day.
It’s another day of eating too much!
"Grandpa, New Year's Day is the day after tomorrow. What should we send to my great-grandfather and second-grandfather's families this year?" After dinner, Li Guoer leaned her head leisurely on the sofa and asked Li Gensheng.
Every year when traditional festivals come, the younger generations in the family will give gifts to the elderly to show their filial piety. The younger generations from my great-grandfather’s and second-grandfather’s families also give gifts to my grandfather.
