Chapter 284： Half a barrel as a boat

At 7 o'clock in the evening on October 13, the village chief's house.

Li Fan handed the prepared rental contract to the village chief and said, "Uncle, this is the rental contract I just printed out. Take a look."

This is what Li Fan just printed out in the office building. Now that the office building has purchased five new laser printers, printing things doesn't have to go to the Longshan Township bazaar.

The village head Li Fu accepted the contract, but just looked at it symbolically. For these he completely believed in Li Fan.

After reading it, Li Fu said: "Thanks for your hard work, son. Is the rent really like this? Will it be higher?"

In terms of rent, Li Fan had discussed with the village chief and villager representatives before. Li Fan’s suggestion is that a small courtyard rents for 10,000 yuan a year, or 2,000 a month if it rents for a short period of time.

It’s just that everyone thinks it’s a little bit high, and I’m afraid it’s not easy to rent out. You can rent a good house in the county at this price.

Li Fan smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, the price is not high at all. This is only the first year's rent, and we will have to increase it with it in the future. How can the suites in the county be compared with our small courtyard? How does it compare?"

Li Fu nodded and said, "Well, you have a much higher perspective on these things than ours, so let's settle."

A higher rent is a good thing. This small courtyard is 10,000 yuan, and ten buildings are 100,000 yuan. Even if the price does not increase in the future, every villager in Sansheng Village can get nearly 1,000 yuan a year.

Immediately, Li Fu said: "Wa, Zhang Lao and Luo Lao really want to rent?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Naturally, I told them the price. They called it cheaper and suggested that we increase the rent a bit. When Mr. Zheng arrives tomorrow, you can just sign a contract with them."

Li Fan didn't lie to the village chief. Zhang Guangling and Luo Yunwen really felt that the rent was too cheap. Not to mention the beautiful scenery in the village, now it is still a tourist attraction, and it is getting more and more famous. Not to mention 10,000 a year, that is, 20,000, 30,000, or even higher. There are definitely people willing to rent.

Of course, Li Fan thinks so too. Waiting for the village and his farm to become famous in China, and even spread abroad. At that time, if you wanted to rent a small courtyard in their village, it was estimated that the only way to do this was through bidding.

Li Fu was a little excited when he received Li Fan's confirmation, and said, "This is really great! How dare you imagine this before? However, you said they rented the courtyard to live here in the future, or for the convenience of exploring and exploring Baiyun Mountain. ?"

Li Fan smiled and said: "There should be both. You don't know, their two elders are always happy when they come back every night. They have already made a lot of discoveries before they go deep into Baiyun Mountain. It is estimated that it will be a long-term investigation. . And, listening to the two elders, there seems to be someone from the Academy of Sciences who is coming over."

"There are still people coming? There are so many good things on this mountain?" Li Fu was so excited and confused.

Li Fan nodded and said, "There are indeed many rare animals and plants hidden on Baiyun Mountain, and there are even those that are considered extinct in the world. Those things may not be useful to us, but to their scientific research workers, it is like a treasure."

Li Fu also nodded and said: "The child is right, we don't understand those. However, I hope that the things on this mountain will not disappoint the experts."

Li Fan smiled and said: "Naturally not. Uncle, there is one more thing. Tomorrow, Uncle Yun, Uncle Qi and I will take people to clean the weir pond. We plan to bring all the fish in the weir pond online. Give it to the villagers. You ask everyone from every household to send people to the weir pond to pick up the fish. Moreover, I guess there will be tourists buying on-site at that time. Uncle, you will arrange it when the time comes."

Fish-splitting villagers are no strangers, and fish-splitting is carried out almost every year in the village. Because there are several weir ponds in the village, and the fish fed in them are shared by the whole village.

Every year, the village will fish once or twice, and then distribute it to the villagers according to the population.

It's just that the villagers prefer to eat fish in Luohe, because the fish in Luohe tastes much better than the fish in the weir pond. Moreover, there are a lot of fish in the river. A person can catch a few catties a day with a rod.

If you are lucky, it is common to catch a large fish of a few jins.

Li Fan had already mentioned the cleaning of weir ponds. Li Fu was not surprised, nodded and said: "Okay."

Later, Li Fan discussed some other things with the village chief before leaving home.

...

October 14th, early morning.

Li Fan looked at Zhang Guangling and Luo Yunwen and said, "Second elders, are you sure you don’t go into the mountain today, but pick up Elder Zheng?"

Zhang Guangling said, "That's natural. We have entered the mountain for such a long time. Let's take a day off today. Don't you want to go fishing today? You can go busy. After Lao Zheng arrives, we will also go and watch."

Li Fan said, "That's fine. Zheng Lao arrived at the county seat yesterday, and it is estimated that he will arrive in the village at around 10 o'clock today."

Luo Yunwen nodded and said, "Yeah, we know. We will wait for him at the entrance of the village and give the old boy a surprise."

Li Fan looked at the enthusiastic two elders, and was secretly happy, "These are really two old naughty boys, I hope you don't turn the surprise into a fright."

Since there are two old urchins to pick up Zheng Jie, Li Fan doesn't care about it. Today, I will concentrate on clearing out those few weir ponds.

After breakfast, at 7:30 in the morning, Li Fan carried two sets of fishing nets, along with his father, third uncle, and little girl, to the largest weir pond in the center of the village.

Dad and Sanshu came to help, and the little girl naturally came to watch the excitement. Not only the little girl, but the bear children in the village are expected to come. Net fish is very lively, and bear children like it very much.

Today happens to be Saturday again. It is estimated that these bear kids will be excited all day.

On the surface, the fishing nets that Li Fan resists are no different from ordinary fishing nets. But in fact, they are not ordinary goods, but "baiting nets" purchased in the space mall.

"Lure fishing nets" are effective for any fish, and can attract fish to dig into the net by themselves. Moreover, the quality is good, and it is absolutely not bad to pull it anyway.

The fishing net is 80 meters long and 5 meters wide, and a pair is worth 1,000 reputation points. Li Fan bought two sets for 2000 prestige points, which is cheap.

When Li Fan arrived at Yantang, Li Qi, Li Yun and the 30 or so male employees in the farm, as well as Fengzi, Taozi and others, had also arrived.

There have also been a lot of bear kids and villagers watching the excitement. It's still early, but there are no tourists yet.

"Fanzi, you are here too, then we are ready to start." Li Qi said.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Qi. Let's clean up the plants and debris in the weir pond first."

There are no large debris in the weir pond, but there are a lot of small debris such as aquatic plants and bamboo poles, which must be cleaned up.

"Good!" everyone agreed, with high interest. Afterwards, one and a half buckets were lowered into the water by everyone.

The half bucket is the half bucket used for threshing millet in the village. It is made of wood and is rectangular, about 2 meters wide, 3 meters long, and about 50 cm deep. The bottom is in the shape of a ship.

Everyone put this thing in the water, naturally using it as a boat. In the village, when the villagers need to use the boat, they use this thing instead.

Of course, this thing is not a boat after all, it is much more difficult to operate than a boat, and it is also much heavier. People who haven't used it before must be frightened when standing inside, and they feel like they have to turn over at any time.

Because if the people who can't use it move a little bit bigger inside, the whole half bucket will shake. Moreover, the amplitude of the shaking is relatively large, and it feels like it will turn at any time. But in fact it is very safe and cannot be turned over.

One and a half buckets were lowered into the water, and there were two people in one and a half buckets. The person inside used a wooden stick to swish half of the bucket in the water.

The seemingly cumbersome half bucket, under the familiar operation of everyone, is as light and agile as a boat.
