Bai Yiling already considered herself the mistress of Zhuxi Village, and therefore, in her mind, she always considered its development.
Once everything here is on the right track, establish a canteen, no problem!
After all, more and more people are coming here to work, and a canteen is indispensable to provide them with a place to eat and live.
Everyone in Zhuxi Village, regardless of age or gender, is a master of cooking, so it's quite easy to recruit a few chefs.
"Xiaofan, if you have nothing to do today, take Yiling out for a stroll and relax more!" Miao Xiuhua instructed Cheng Xiaofan.
Anyway, her son had the Sky-Breaking Eagle, so he could go anywhere he wanted in the back mountains.
As a mother, her only hope was that these two young people could get to know each other better.
They were both getting on in years, and in Zhuxi Village, those their age already had children.
Cheng Xiaofan was always obedient in front of his mother, saying, "Okay, I was just about to go and check on White Python Lake, so let Yiling come with me!"
Without asking, Bai Yiling knew that Cheng Xiaofan wanted to see how much progress the earthworms had made in reclaiming the terraced fields.
"Chirp—"
Just after breakfast, the Sky-Breaking Eagle, sensing something, landed at the entrance of Cheng Xiaofan's house.
Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling sat on the Sky-Breaking Eagle, and with a loud cry from the eagle, it spread its wings and soared into the sky.
As they passed the back mountains, ten standard white swans appeared in the air.
Taotie, with a look of disdain, was squatting on the back of one of the white swans.
"Woof woof!"
Master, isn't this dog master too extravagant?
You only have one evil eagle, but this dog lord has ten white swans as mounts!
Master, flying with you in the sky, this dog lord feels like he's overshadowing you. You won't be angry, will you!
Idiot!
Cheng Xiaofan glared at Taotie dismissively.
If there wasn't a beauty beside me, I'd skin you alive!
When Taotie felt his master's death stare, it shivered all over and let out a howl, almost falling off the white swan.
It quickly shut its mouth.
No wonder the master was angry. He had a peerlessly beautiful woman sitting beside him, and mocking him like this was too much of an insult to his pride!
I truly deserve to die!
Along the way, neither Cheng Xiaofan nor Bai Yiling spoke.
Thinking about the dream of last night, both of them suddenly felt a sense of awkwardness.
Cheng Xiaofan felt he had been too rough, why couldn't he be gentler with her?
And Bai Yiling felt that in that state, she hadn't had any reserve at all. What had she said to him, that she would unlock all sixty-two poses of her learned yoga and offer them to him.
Was this what a CEO, known as an ice queen, would say?
It was so embarrassing!
At that moment, Bai Yiling felt that she shouldn't have come out with Cheng Xiaofan this time.
Why did I lose control of myself when Cheng Xiaofan said he wanted to take me to White Python Lake?
Why?
Why is that?
Can anyone tell me?
"Chirp—"
At this moment, with a loud and clear cry, Bai Yiling suddenly realized that the Sky-Breaking Eagle had carried her and Cheng Xiaofan to the sky above White Python Lake.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle circled twice under the blue sky with floating white clouds before slowly descending.
This time, the Sky-Breaking Eagle landed directly at the foot of Terraced Mountain.
"Heh heh, these earthworms are too capable!"
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze swept across, and the entire Terraced Mountain had been reclaimed.
The weeds and scattered trees that had grown there were all gone, and layers of terraced fields were arranged in an orderly manner before their eyes.
"So terraced fields are also so beautiful!"
Bai Yiling followed Cheng Xiaofan into the pavilion on the mountaintop, gazing at the layered terraced fields before her, and exclaimed sincerely, "I can't imagine how the soldiers of Eastern Wu in ancient times, without any mechanical equipment, managed to construct such a grand terraced field."
"Xiaofan, after this area of terraced fields is reclaimed, what do you plan to plant here?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I plan to plant a batch of golden tea here, and interplant some watermelons or medicinal herbs."
"However, this terraced field has been abandoned for so many years, and the soil is too barren. If it's not improved, nothing can be planted!"
"Then what method will you use to improve the soil?" Bai Yiling asked like a curious baby.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "The best method is to use earthworms to improve the soil here. Their advantage is that they are not picky eaters at all. They swallow sand, soil, and humus in the soil mouthful by mouthful."
"Then, after passing through the organs inside the earthworm's body, processed step by step, digested, this sand and soil will become more refined."
"And after being processed inside the earthworm's body, the soil will appear moist and thus possess certain chemical nutrients, making the barren land fertile."
"That's a good method,"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "I heard that some people specifically raise earthworms for sale. I'll have someone buy a batch of earthworms and have them delivered here by helicopter!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Earthworms raised artificially are too delicate. I'm afraid they won't last more than two days on the terraced mountain after being delivered here!"
"Then what do we do?" Bai Yiling asked with a slight frown.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "There should be many earthworms under the ground in this primeval forest. Bringing them here to improve the soil is the most suitable!"
Bai Yiling nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but digging for earthworms must be quite a laborious task!"
For such a large terraced mountain, a large number of earthworms would be needed to improve the soil.
Digging for earthworms manually is very time-consuming, and besides, earthworms are highly social creatures and cannot be found everywhere.
"Yiling, earthworms don't need to be dug up,"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "I'll assign this task directly to the earthworms. They will lead the earthworms from the forest to the terraced mountain."
"You know, earthworms have always been known as the kings of the underground in legends. As long as they appear, who wouldn't obey their orders!"
Saying that, he snapped his fingers and called out, "Where are the earthworms?"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
...
In the blink of an eye, nine fiery red earthworms immediately emerged from under the ground nearby, ran into the pavilion, and kept squeaking around Cheng Xiaofan.
Master, we saw you arrive early.
We just saw there was a beauty beside you and didn't dare to disturb you.
Using earthworms to improve the soil here is not a difficult task. We can immediately assign the task to the Earthworm King, and it will arrange it.
"Earthworm King?"
Cheng Xiaofan was suddenly very curious and said, "So there are kings among earthworms? Can you introduce me to this Earthworm King!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two earthworms immediately ran to the outside of the pavilion and dived underground.
Not long after, the two earthworms emerged from underground.
At the same time, behind them, an earthworm also emerged.
However, when Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling saw that earthworm, they were both stunned!
