Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 16 Our Own Land

"Little Ma, what do you think of this place?"

In my heart, I call Monkey a sycophant, but to save trouble, Monkey has become a pony. As for the three generals under him, they are naturally two horses, three horses, and four horses.

If the name of the monkey needs to be so formal, it only needs to be called out.

The pony didn't know what Gu Siwei was talking about, it only knew that Gu Siwei was talking to him, so he grinned and made a smiling expression, not knowing whether he agreed or agreed.

"Forget it, I can't tell you."

Gu Siwei is quite satisfied here.

It's not that the soil here is suitable for farming, let alone that there is a water source here, but that this is a small valley between two ridges.

To put it more clearly, it is here that it is pocketing the soil.

He really wanted to have a good land with water, soil, rivers, and preferably automatic irrigation, but this idea was not realistic.

Looking down from the mountain peak, the bottom looks like a gourd, with mountains on both sides, and this place is sandwiched between two east-west mountains.

The east side is larger, the west side is smaller, and there is a small mouth in the middle, not too far from the river, almost under the buttocks of the gourd, and the river is more than five meters down.

If it is left for decades, a water pump can solve the problem of water use, but now the water pump is obviously impossible, but Gu Siwei also knows that our ancestors have planted the land for thousands of years, and there must be a way to get water from the bottom.

At this time, what Gu Siwei has to do is to fetch soil, find soil, and pad this piece.

As for how big the land is, Yi Gu Siwei's brain doesn't know how many acres this valley has, anyway, he thinks it's not small.

Of course, it won't be too big, about the size of two or three football fields. As for how many acres, he has no idea at all.

In the eyes of others, this place must be useless, because there is no soil here, and there was some soil on it, which is not soil, but the decay of dead branches and leaves accumulated over time.

Now Gu Siwei's plan is to find a place to fetch soil and put the soil into this valley. Isn't there a land here?

And the good thing about this place is that other than him, it is very difficult for others to come up.

The more he looked at this land, the more delighted Gu Siwei became.

"pony!"

No one listened to Gu Siwei showing off, he can only talk with pony now.

Just after saying a pony, Gu Siwei saw what was in his hand, so Gu Siwei was stunned.

walnut.

No matter how stupid Gu Siwei is, he knows what a walnut looks like, and this walnut is not the kind that is smashed in the tree. It is a serious wild walnut. Those things in the village are much bigger.

The walnuts in Gu Siwei's hands are so thick that they are almost the size of a ping-pong ball, even if they are small, they are limited. These are serious walnuts.

"Little Ma, where did this come from?"

Gu Siwei stretched out the walnut in his hand.

When the pony saw Gu Siwei delivering the walnuts, it thought that Gu Siwei would not eat them, so he reached out and wanted to take them back.

How could Gu Siwei get Xiao Ma to take the walnut back? He shrank his hand and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Based on Gu Siwei's understanding of this group of monkeys, there must be more than one walnut.

It's a pity that the communication between Gu Siwei and Xiao Ma encountered a big trouble. One person and one monkey are talking about chicken and duck.

Gu Siwei thinks Xiao Ma is okay to be stupid, but Xiao Ma also thinks that his master is not smart enough. He has indicated countless times that this thing is edible, but this person still keeps asking.

If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, the pony would have jumped up and scratched him a few times.

The pony didn't dare, but it was holding fire in its heart, waiting to see when its master was thinking about something, the pony turned around and pulled the original monkey king out and beat him up, venting his anger.

Gu Siwei started to run the train with his mind full again, but when he heard the monkey screaming, he recovered and found that the pony was beating the old monkey king, so he frowned: "It's nothing to do, what are you bullying it for?"

Squeak!

The little horse gave up the old monkey king, and came to Gu Siwei's side in a dizzy manner, translating official papers with a shy face.

Gu Siwei had an idea at this moment. He picked a place at the foot of the mountain, threw the walnuts on the ground, then entered the space, and scooped up a ladle of water.

That's right, now that Gu Siwei has a new guy, he doesn't need to use his Leifeng hat as a scoop.

Out of the space, Gu Siwei slowly poured the water in the scoop onto the walnuts.

Soon the walnuts began to sprout, spit out two leaves and began to grow branches, and kept growing upwards.

After a while, Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded. The walnuts and tuberculous peach trees he had seen were only two or three meters high, and that was the case at most.

But the walnut tree in front of me has grown to more than 1.5 meters straight, and it started to branch when it was only about [-] meters above the ground. As soon as it opened, it opened five forks, that is, five branches, and branched more than one meter above. Branched out again.

After branching out several times, in front of Gu Siwei's eyes, a huge walnut tree with a canopy like a canopy and a crown of about 20 meters in diameter appeared.

Then the walnut branches were covered with bunches of flowers like big caterpillars, and after a while, the walnut twists came out.

Then the blue walnuts grew bigger and bigger, and finally the green skin on the outside exploded, exposing the walnut kernels inside. This thing is the most common walnut.

Gu Siwei looked a little dumbfounded here, because he had never seen it before, even if he had seen a walnut tree, he had never seen the whole process of a walnut tree growing from a walnut, growing fruit and falling.

This is still based on the persimmon tree, otherwise it would be even more surprising.

The monkeys are very happy. The walnut trees are so big, and now the walnuts are falling down one after another, and they are so happy that they are chattering.

But they are happy as long as they are happy, they dare not come up without the order of the monkey king, the pony, and the pony is also happy at the moment, but it also does not dare to go forward without the order of Gu Siwei.

All the monkeys knew that the tree belonged to the owner, so they would not have the guts to eat it without permission.

A few minutes later, Gu Siwei came back to his senses and began to greet the monkey.

"Work, work!"

Gu Siwei said something to Monkey King Pony.

The pony is also very cooperative, and when Gu Siwei said work, he immediately understood what the master meant, and called the monkeys to start working.

The group of monkeys got the pony's order, and immediately squeaked and rushed towards the ground and the walnuts on the tree.

The fastest running monkey quickly came to Gu Siwei with a few walnuts in his arms.

Gu Siwei looked at it and felt a little dissatisfied, because walnuts are walnuts, walnuts are walnuts, and now there are green skins on the walnuts, what's the matter, you monkeys are going to let us peel the skins by ourselves?
Gu Siwei got a whole walnut from the pony, so these monkeys must know how to shell it. Even if they didn't know it, Gu Siwei decided to let them know that the walnut they gave them must be shelled.

"Crack the shells!"

Gu Siwei gestured.

Squeak!

This monkey doesn't quite understand, not only does it not understand, but all the monkeys coming behind don't understand.

So Gu Siwei made a gesture, peeled off the skin of a walnut, and then pointed the walnut kernel at the monkeys.

"This is what I want, Are you ok?"

A group of monkeys squatting in front of Gu Siwei were a little dumbfounded. They didn't know what the owner Gu Siwei meant.

But there are so many monkeys, there is always a little smarter, and soon a monkey came out, peeled off the skin of one of the three walnuts he handed in, and sent it to Gu Siwei.

"Hey, there are still smart ones"

Gu Siwei watched the guy picking up the fruit, and suddenly felt a bit of surprise. After reaching over and taking the fruit, he rubbed the monkey's head.

The monkey immediately understood: This is what the owner wanted!
It is not difficult for a monkey to peel the walnuts, and now that the walnuts are fully ripe, the peels are cracked, and the walnut kernels will come out after a few bites.

So he quickly skinned the remaining two in his hand.

After Gu Siwei took it, he nodded in satisfaction.

Once one monkey figured it out, the next monkeys had a role model.

But there are also fools, or lazy people, who don't want to peel the skins, but want to hand over the walnuts with the skins to Gu Siwei.

For these guys, Gu Siwei was not polite, and left a branch from the walnut tree. Any monkey who dared to hand over the unpeeled walnut to him would be beaten head-on and face-to-face.

For the monkey group, Gu Siwei is a complete tyrant. If the monkeys have a history, Gu Siwei may at most be the image of King Zhou of Monkey History in the future, and it cannot be better.

For Gu Siwei, the most important thing in getting along with monkeys is to have clear rewards and punishments, and the other is to hold a whip in his hand.

A group of monkeys went into battle, even for such a big walnut tree, it took only two or three hours to pick a lot of walnuts.

At this moment, a pile of shelled walnuts appeared in front of Gu Siwei.

There must be a large pile of several hundred catties.

"Good job, good job!"

Looking at the pile of walnuts in front of him, Gu Siwei smiled happily, saying it was good, while filling it in his own space.

A circle of monkeys surrounded by them watched the pile of walnuts getting less and less, and many of them were scratching their heads, but they didn't dare to resist Comrade Gu Siwei, the disgusting capitalist, so they had to swallow their breath and squat on the spot.

Gu Siwei felt that he was not a stingy person, and he knew that the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, and the monkeys must be rewarded for their work.

So Gu Siwei felt that he should take what he took, and the rest was to pay the monkeys for their work.

I have to mention here that Gu Siwei is worthy of coming here decades later, and he has not learned well from future domestic entrepreneurs.

The monkeys picked hundreds of catties of walnuts, or even more, but only a small pile was distributed to the monkeys in the end, and it was unclear whether there were ten catties by visual inspection.

When it was just like this, Gu Siwei was still rambling.

"Come on, come here!"

Gu Siwei pointed at the monkey who was able to pick skin at the beginning and waved his hand.

Waiting for the monkey to come over with grinning teeth, Gu Siwei picked the largest seven or eight walnuts from a pile of walnuts and put them in the monkey's arms.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the monkey's head lightly: "Not bad, not bad, do it well!"

The monkey was rewarded with a few walnuts by Gu Siwei, and suddenly forgot about the large pile of walnuts just now, and grinned happily.

When it saw that other monkey Gu Siwei only gave six walnuts, and the biggest one was not as big as its own, it was even happier.

Gu Siwei continued to share the walnuts, and Gu Siwei rubbed his head for every monkey who got the walnuts.

But when it came to the last few monkeys, Gu Siwei didn't have a good face. These monkeys were all cheaters and tricksters.

How should I put it - there are bad monkeys among the monkeys, and there are also people who paddle to fish. These few are the negative teaching materials among the monkeys.

For these monkeys, Gu Siwei couldn't be more polite, so he smoked a meal, and only gave each one a walnut. He was a little reluctant to part with it, and kicked the monkeys again.
