Chapter 306: Still burning?

Shui Qing didn't expect that when he went up the mountain to burn a stone, he would create a small hill.

The hills are small and small, and there is nothing on them. Most of them are miscellaneous trees and weeds. For the villagers, it is just a place to cut firewood and collect wild vegetables, but for my family, it is completely different!

Mountains are equivalent to land. You can grow orange peel fruit trees and Polygonum multiflorum under the trees. The open space at the foot of the mountains is opened up to grow beans such as soybeans, red beans, mung beans, or coarse grains such as potatoes and buds. The grains produced are eaten by people and the vines are used to feed livestock. After being fertilized, livestock manure can provide nutrients for medicinal plants, fruit trees and crops...

Shui Qing looked at the old village chief with bright eyes.

The old village chief really thought about what she thought and was anxious about her needs! This punishment hill is more practical and needed for her than the fields!

The old village chief blushed slightly when Shui Qing saw him. He lowered his head slightly and sighed.

The hills are worthless. There are no other mountains and rivers in their village. The hills are one after another, with only miscellaneous trees and weeds on them. Basically, the village allocates which house each family wants. Those who come later, like the Ding family, are not assigned. , but if they are willing, they can also collect firewood and pick wild vegetables in the unowned barren mountains in the distance.

It's just that all the nearby ones have been divided. Those unowned and barren mountains are far away. It's too tiring to go back and forth, and no one in the village wants to go there.

Fan Qian and his son had evil intentions, and it was indeed unfair for Hu Shuiqing to be punished with a worthless hilltop. However, both fertile farmland and good land needed to be changed by the government to change the title deeds, so the only thing he could do was the hilltop.

The men in the village don't care too much about success or failure. They deeply feel that Fan Qian and his son are not authentic!

As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you. This is what Fan Qian and these people are doing now.

"Why is a worthless hilltop so heavy? What use can it be? You want me to recommend fertile farmland near a water source!"

"Yes, it doesn't hurt and they will do it again next time."

"Old village chief, if it's not fertile land, it's fertile land. What's the use of this hilltop?"

Fan Qianxin raised his eyebrows.

Why, he paid a mountaintop and these people still thought it was a small amount?

Why don't they go and grab it?

He faced the old village chief and solemnly emphasized: "Old village chief, we have made an agreement, and we cannot go back and change it!"

He felt that he was at a loss when the old village chief said it before, but now the men in the village were fighting against each other and felt disgusted, and he was afraid that the old village chief would regret it.

Compared with good farmland and good land, what is a hilltop? I went to one and there were five more, and there were two close by. It was enough to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. The ones far away were also left there, so they were not used at all.

The old village chief looked at Shui Qing, and Shui Qing immediately responded: "I have no objection, just listen to the old village chief."

The top of the mountain is the most practical for her! Anyway, some people have cows and donkeys, so it is easy to open up wasteland, as long as the place is large.

The old village chief nodded with satisfaction and said to Fan Qian: "Okay, I remember that Zhushan belongs to Fan Jin? Then I will pay for the hill next to Zhushan."

Fan Dazhu's face showed joy, he pulled his father's sleeves and said in a low voice: "Dad, this is a good deal. The top of the mountain is not close to our home, so we won't lose."

Fan Erzhu was not happy and said in a low voice: "But that hilltop is close to the second uncle's house. In this way, the land connected to the city by the second uncle becomes even bigger."

Fan Sizhu was puzzled: "Second Uncle's land will be bigger as long as we don't lose money, okay?"

It doesn't matter whether the second uncle's land is large or not.

Fan Sanzhu looked at the Four Pillars as if he were a fool, but the decision was made by the old village chief, and he couldn't help it even if he didn't want to, not to mention he didn't want to trade the hilltop near their home.

If the farthest one is proposed to be replaced, the old village chief will probably get angry. These men are not vegetarians and will definitely side with the second uncle and second aunt. Forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so bear with it for a while. .

After the matter was finalized, the old village chief was supported down the mountain by several young and strong men, followed by Fan Qian and Fan Jin.

Although the wilderness hilltop does not need to go through the government, the village will still write a certificate signed by both parties and thumbprinted for approval.

Fan Dazhu and four others went up the mountain. One of them was missing from the top of their mountain, and they had no intention of staying to watch the joke. They felt that they were a joke now!

More than ten people left, and even more remained.

Fan Xiaoliu shouted in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law Shui Qing, why don't you burn this big stone to crack it? Transport the stone back to lay the foundation, and the ground will be freed up to plant your fruit trees!"

Polygonum multiflorum cannot be easily mentioned, but the peeled fruit can still be mentioned.

I heard from Xiangxiang that the fruit flesh is sour and a little bitter. Can such a fruit skin be sold for money?

But since Uncle Ding said it’s okay, it should be okay.

Shui Qing smiled and said: "You try burning it first to see if it can crack, how much it can crack and how thick the stone is. If it is too thick, it won't work."

"Yes, Xiao Liuzi, you are too impatient. Clean up the area quickly and prepare the water. Burning rocks is burning rocks, but don't burn the mountains." Boss Wu reminded.

It's not winter yet, and there aren't many dead grass or trees, but you still have to be careful.

Fan Xiaoliu raised his voice and let out a sigh, and the other men also went to work.

Dozens of men were divided into several groups, one group cleaned big rocks, one group collected leaves, dead branches and firewood that could cause fire, and a large group of men quickly ran back to the village home to get barrels for watering later...

The firewood was brought when Shuiqing went up the mountain. When the men returned one after another with barrel nails, rakes and hammers, firewood had been set up on the big rocks and started to burn.

A large open space was cleared around, and the men circled around and looked at the long fire in the middle. Not to mention, although the fire was not big, it was quite hot.

The men with wooden buckets went to the spring to scoop out water, and when it was eighty full, they carried it to the fire place.

When the fire in the fire became small, men would add more wood to it, and it kept burning for who knows how long.

When the stone turned obviously red, more than a dozen buckets of cold spring water were poured down, and the stone suddenly made a clicking sound.

"It exploded! It really exploded, I heard the sound."

"I saw cracks, hey, there were several cracks!"

"Quick, let's clean up the rocks quickly and see if it's OK? If not, we have to continue burning!"

They are all good at farm work, and they can clean rocks quickly and well.

Small stones were picked up directly, large stones were lifted with force, and even larger stones were lifted by several people working together.

The cleared stones were piled on the side. The more they were cleared, the more they were cleared. After a while, a path was cleared. It was not very wide or deep, but the bamboo tube was more than enough to pass through.

"This stone is quite thick. I think the cracks underneath are bottomless. If you want to dig deeper, you have to continue burning."

"This boulder is quite wide. If we want to move it all away, we have to set up fire next to it. Should we continue to burn it?
