Chapter 112 Discovering Hot Springs
Ye Mingzhu paused as she was about to pick up the bowl and asked, "Where are we going to plant it?"
Is there something special about this village?
Wu Yue nodded: "There is a place that my brother doesn't know about. Dongjia, go back first. I will arrange it here and then go find Dongjia later."
Ye Mingzhu looked at her face full of mystery and felt a little curious: "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for you."
Maybe Wu Yue will really give her a surprise.
She didn't have to wait too long. Wu Yue came shortly after she returned to the compound.
"Master, there's a place on the farm where wild vegetables grow exceptionally well. Even in winter, the wild vegetables there remain green. I'm the only one who knows where it is."
This farm used to be wasteland. After the previous owner bought it, he only let the tenants cultivate some of the land. When he found that the yield was extremely low, he didn't take the farm seriously and just planned to find an opportunity to sell it.
The tenant farmers on the farm only cultivated the more fertile land, and there was still a lot of land that was left unattended.
There are actually a few earthen slopes on this village, which can't be called a mountain. They are about ten meters high and there is nothing on them except miscellaneous trees.
These trees are not resistant to burning, so people in the village don't like to go there to chop firewood.
Wu Yue was a favored and bold person. When he had nothing to do, he would run around the farm.
The reason there was a boat on the farm was because she discovered the sea and almost fell into it. Her father loved his daughter so much that he said something to the previous owner, who then ordered people to build a boat.
Wu Yue took Ye Mingzhu around, bypassed two earthen slopes, and walked onto a small path.
Ye Mingzhu almost tripped over the rocks on the ground, and Wu Yue quickly supported her: "Boss, be careful, I'm the only one walking here, so the road is not easy to walk on."
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything because her attention was attracted by the green plants in front of her.
The weeds outside have already turned yellow, but the weeds here are various shades of green, light green, dark green, and dark green, but there is no yellow. Moreover, the temperature here seems to be warmer than outside.
"Boss, go over there and wash your hands. The water here is warm." Wu Yue helped Ye Mingzhu walk inside. She squatted in front of a small puddle.
"Whenever I quarreled with my brother, we would always come here. It's warm here, but the water is too hard to drink." After Wu Yue finished complaining, he realized that Ye Mingzhu didn't move.
Ye Mingzhu didn't stop moving, she was a little shocked. The temperature here was high and there was warm water. If her guess was correct, there should be a hot spring underground.
Oh my god, a hot spring resort. She's rich!
Ye Mingzhu had never heard of a hot spring resort! She seemed to hear the rustling of silver in her ears until Wu Yue came to support her.
"Is there any place like this nearby?" Ye Mingzhu couldn't help asking.
"No, this is the only warm spot in our entire village. Nowhere else is warm. I discovered it last winter."
Ye Mingzhu looked around the area. It was not big, less than an acre. There were three or four small puddles of warm water. If they were dug, they should find hot springs, but it was hard to say how big they were.
After walking around, Ye Mingzhu became much more sober, and then smiled bitterly, thinking that it would be better not to dig it up.
If her farm were to become a hot spring farm, she wouldn't necessarily be the only one to benefit.
It would be better to keep it for her to farm, so she immediately decided to grow sweet potatoes here.
Wu Yue's face flushed with excitement: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely grow the sweet potatoes."
Ye Mingzhu joked: "It's just that your secret is about to be exposed. You can't hide here anymore."
Wu Yue raised her head proudly: "I belong to the boss now."
Ever since she started making brown sugar for her employer, her family's attitude towards her has become better. Her brother has repeatedly told her to work hard for her employer. When the children at home asked about her work, her brother suppressed them. Her sister-in-law also had no objection.
Ye Mingzhu knew there was no problem in her family by looking at her expression.
The two of them walked around here again, and Wu Yue dug up a large handful of wild vegetables on the ground: "Boss, how about we have someone come here to plow the soil later?"
Thinking of the delicious sweet potatoes, Wu Yue really couldn't wait until tomorrow.
"Let's go back and work out some rules first. Besides, most of the people on the farm are growing sweet sticks, so we need to discuss who and how many people will be assigned to the work."
Ye Mingzhu's excitement has calmed down. Anyway, the land is here and it won't run away. It doesn't matter if she comes back to plant it tomorrow.
Wu Yue was obviously more excited than her. On the way back, she kept talking and chattering until she reached the gate of the compound.
Jiang Hongyu came over immediately and was shocked to see Ye Mingzhu's feet and the hem of her clothes were covered in dirt. She was also being supported by Wu Yue. "What happened?"
Ye Mingzhu's eyes were full of excitement: "Let's talk inside."
Wu Yue did not follow in. She went back to the cross-courtyard first. She still had to go check on Hongtang.
Inside the house, Jiang Hongyu was stunned when he heard Ye Mingzhu's words. Hot Spring Manor? There was actually a hot spring here? Was Ye Mingzhu so lucky?
"It's just a little small. Forget about building a house. I plan to use it to grow sweet potatoes. That place is warm and there's a small hillside to protect it. The sweet potatoes are all underground, so no one will find them for a while."
"All used to grow sweet potatoes?" Jiang Hongyu was not objecting, he just didn't expect it.
Most people, when they find a hot spring, will quickly dig it out, build a house, and then soak in the hot spring.
"Of course, that's a vegetable patch." Ye Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "If we turn this place into a hot spring resort, can we still stay here?"
On the way back, Ye Mingzhu had already figured it out: the word "hot spring" must not be mentioned.
They are just ordinary people with no power or influence. There are many people richer than them in the town, let alone the county. Once someone wants to compete for the hot spring villa, they have no way of refusing.
But if it is just a farm for growing vegetables, rich and powerful people may not necessarily be interested in it.
Jiang Hongyu pursed his lips. He understood this principle.
He was a little annoyed at this time. He should think of a way to go further. In this way, Ye Mingzhu would not be afraid to speak out because she discovered the hot spring villa.
Ye Mingzhu was fine. She didn't care about taking a hot spring bath, but she was quite happy about growing sweet potatoes.
The two people discussed who should be responsible for planting sweet potatoes, and finally decided to give it to Wu Jiang.
Farming is hard work. Although Wu Yue is smart, she is a girl after all. She is now in charge of brown sugar and it is not easy for her to be away from home often.
Although Wu Jiang is a bit stubborn, he has been a farmer for many years and has made good arrangements for growing sweet potato.
Jiang Hongyu hesitated whether to stay another day. Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "There's less than an acre of land there. Just give a small portion of the sweet potatoes to Wu Jiang. We won't stay here. It's not good for you to always ask for leave."
They have been out for a few days and it is not convenient for them to stay any longer. Who knows if something might happen at home?
