Zheng Bajin nodded, and did not ask him how much one would cost now. Instead, he said calmly: "It's okay, there's no need to buy one. Two hundred trees are enough."
The toon tree is no different than other trees. It has a very strong reproductive capacity. Wherever its roots reach, new seedlings will grow from there. In a few years, the entire hillside will be covered with toon trees.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyang didn't understand very well, Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "Come on, do you want to come and feel this new motorcycle?"
Zhang Xiaoyang had wanted to try it for a long time, and when he heard Zheng Bajin's words, he was naturally very happy.
However, he had never tried this thing and asked Zheng Bajin to teach him.
Nian Jian'an also heard Zheng Bajin's voice. When he came out of the canteen, he saw the two of them getting on their motorcycles and about to leave. He hurriedly said: "Where are we going? Let's eat before we leave. It should be almost done."
He is now in charge of the canteen, leaving the cooking to Zhang Xiaoe and Hu Ying.
Zhang Xiao'e was coming out and took the call and said, "It will be ready soon. Eat before leaving."
"I'll be back in a moment." Zheng Bajin said. He hit the accelerator and the motorcycle rushed onto the road, heading towards the Chunshu Base of the Sixth Team, leaving behind Xiaocao who chased him and wanted to follow to see the excitement. He chased and cursed. .
Zheng Bajin did not hear Xiaocao's scolding, but kept going to the Chunshu base and parked the car by the river. The two took off their shoes and crossed the river to see the Chunshu.
Zhang Xiaoyang hurriedly introduced: "At that time, I also thought that if there were not enough saplings, we would plant them very sparsely and widely spaced. Two hundred saplings would be distributed in a mountain."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "If you do it right, wait until new saplings grow next year, and then fill in the middle. In a few years, a mountain will be covered with Chinese chrysanthemum trees."
"But, what will happen in the past two years? If we want to raise a large number of pigs, we won't be able to find so much firewood and bacon?" Zhang Xiaoyang asked worriedly.
Zheng Bajin glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, there will be firewood when the time comes. There is no firewood here. You can go to other villages. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do."
He had already thought about it. Didn't Yuanqiao Village plant a large number of apple trees? Winter pruning will result in a large number of branches. They were reluctant to throw it away and took it back to warm themselves in the winter.
If the money they give them is appropriate, they will of course sell the firewood and use the money to buy coal.
Coal doesn't take up space, there's no smoke, it's easy to burn, and it burns for a long time, so why not do it.
The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the place where the river embankment was being built. People had already finished work, and only one person stayed here to watch. Zheng Bajin did not disturb him, but took a look from a distance. The foundation work had been completed. If the construction continues at this rate, it will be completed in less than half a month.
By then, you can start construction on your own pig farm.
"No, we can't waste any more time. We'll find a few workers right away and start digging the foundation for the pig farm." Zheng Bajin suddenly changed his mind and blurted out a sentence.
"Why, don't you wait until the river bank is repaired?" Zhang Xiaoyang looked at him and asked strangely.
"We can no longer save this little money. It's already May. Even if the riverbank can't be completed by then, we can just find a few workers and pay some money." Zheng Bajin said with certainty, "Now, what is most important? It’s time, if by the end of the year, the first batch of pigs can’t get out of the pen, this awesome thing will be blown out of proportion and can’t be ended.”
Zhang Xiaoyang glanced at Zheng Bajin and thought to himself, he is really willing to spend money.
"Okay, don't think so much, go home and eat now, so that everyone won't wait for us. Tonight, I will take out the sketch. Your task is to put the people who will dig the foundation tomorrow into place and start work tomorrow." Zheng Ba Jin said, taking Zhang Xiaoyang back.
Soon they arrived at the motorcycle. Zheng Bajin rode on the back seat and said, "Come on, I'll teach you how to ride a bike."
"Actually, it's very simple. As long as you control the clutch and throttle well, it's easier than driving a tractor."
Zheng Bajin started to explain, and after a while, Zhang Xiaoyang understood. He tried it a few times after sitting on it, but the first time the clutch was released too fast and the engine stalled.
The second time, the accelerator was too high, and he rushed out with a leap. Fortunately, Zheng Bajin had been prepared, and his feet helped him control his center of gravity, telling him not to be impatient and just go.
After walking for dozens of meters, he was basically able to control the accelerator reasonably. Zheng Bajin asked him to shift to second gear.
When he got home, Zhang Xiaoyang could already use third gear, which was enough on such a dirt road. Further gears depended on his technique, and it was very shaky.
The food was already on the table and they were waiting for them to eat. Xiaocao looked at Zheng Bajin angrily and said, "Brother-in-law, you have changed!"
Her cute look made everyone laugh.
Zheng Bajin asked her with a smile: "What's wrong? I haven't changed."
"You have changed, even if you change, you don't even take the grass with you when you ride."
"Oh, that's why. I'll take you with me another day when I have time. Don't you have to do your homework today? Well, I promise you that when you grow up, I will buy you a bicycle."
"Really! Don't lie?"
Xiaocao's anger turned into joy. Nian Jian'an rolled his eyes at her, looked at Zheng Bajin and said seriously: "Don't spoil her too much. Children can't be spoiled."
Zheng Bajin gave him an affirmative look, turned to Xiaocao and said, "Of course it's true, I lied to you like a puppy."
As he said that, he picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of fried potatoes, put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "In the city, I helped your sister find a companion. You can rest assured that she will not be lonely anymore."
When Zhang Xiao'e heard this, she almost stopped talking.
Zheng Bajin rolled his eyes at her, not sure what to say. It turned out that this woman had misunderstood him. She was just looking for a companion, not a mistress.
Zhang Xiaoyang couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiao'e and said nothing to her.
Zheng Bajin hurriedly explained: "I found a nanny for her. She is down-to-earth, responsible, and hard-working. This way, I can feel free to return to the village to develop."
Nian Jian'an nodded. Of course he knew that Zheng Bajin was deeply devoted to Qingqing and did not want her to suffer hardship in the village. He deliberately opened a business in the city, half to make a fortune and half to Qingqing.
After eating, it was already dark. Qingqing pestered Zheng Bajin and wanted to take her out for a ride.
Zheng Bajin was busy drawing sketches and had no time, so he asked Zhang Xiaoyang to ride a bicycle and carry her around the village, while also putting the workers in place for tomorrow.
After saying that, without waiting for Xiaocao to answer, he went directly into the canteen, found paper and pen, and started to draw a sketch.
Zhang Xiaoyang coaxed Xiaocao, who was not happy, to go out and get on the car to invite the workers.
People in the village have long been jealous of Zheng Bajin riding a brand new motorcycle.
At this moment, I heard the sound of a motorcycle again, and I couldn't help but look. However, I only saw the lights of the motorcycle and did not see clearly that the person sitting on it was Zhang Xiaoyang.
Zhang Xiaoyang had an idea of who he was looking for, so he went directly to the door. After a while, he found four or five capable people, and they agreed on a salary of five yuan a day.
These people were very grateful to Zhang Xiaoyang. They thanked Zhang Xiaoyang for trusting him. They also praised him and said that Zheng Bajin was getting richer and richer.
Zhang Xiaoyang took the opportunity to draw a pie for everyone, saying that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to buy a motorcycle as a ride like Zheng Bajing in a few years.
