Chapter 55 One acre of residential land, searching for pheasant nests

Yang Dafei drove the production team's oxcart, with Zhang Yun, Zhang Boshu, and Zhang Youwei sitting on the cart, heading towards the tea mountain together.

It's only a two-mile journey, which takes about five minutes.

This water buffalo galloped along with great strength, and pulling the cart along the road gave it a thrilling, high-speed feel.

Zhang Yun rode in the oxcart, and for a while he was filled with envy.

Although it wasn't as comfortable as the cars of later generations, in this special era, owning an oxcart made you the center of attention in the whole village, much more stylish than the cars of later generations.

Zhang Yun was already making plans in his mind. He needed to go to the mine to buy two cart wheels so that he could have his own oxcart.

At this moment, the oxcart arrived at the tea mountain.

This mountainous area is relatively flat, and the mountains are covered with tea trees. The tea fruits are about to ripen, and after the busy farming season, production team members can be sent out to pick the tea fruits and then extract tea oil.

It can be said that nowadays, the villagers of Jiuwan Village basically use tea oil for cooking.

Following his memories from his previous life, Zhang Yun directed the oxcart to the edge of the tea mountain, a place that was completely overgrown with weeds.

At this moment, Zhang Yun, along with Zhang Boshu and Zhang Youwei, pointed to the patch of wasteland and said with a smile, "Captains, this is the homestead I've chosen."

Looking at this patch of wasteland, with no one around, Zhang Boshu couldn't understand why Zhang Yun had chosen this place as the site for his home.

Zhang Youwei was also full of doubt. He certainly didn't understand what Zhang Yun was thinking. Why did he choose this place for the homestead, so far away from the Jiuwan Village residential area? This would make life very inconvenient in the future.

This wasteland had no value for planting, so Zhang Youwei and Zhang Boshu naturally had no objections and verbally agreed to Zhang Yun's choice of this location for the homestead.

"Oh, Zhang Yun, you're the first person to choose this location for your homestead. How big of a homestead do you want?"

"That's right. According to regulations, when allocating residential land from the brigade, you have to pay 20 yuan for each fen (0.1 hectare). The amount of money you have depends on the size of the residential land you want."

Zhang Boshu then said with a smile.

Zhang Youwei nodded as well.

Zhang Yun was certainly aware of this regulation; the homestead land in this brigade couldn't be given away for free, and money was indeed required.

Only 20 yuan per acre, that's really cheap.

However, Zhang Yun discerned a different meaning in Zhang Boshu's words. He wished he could empty Zhang Yun's pockets so that Zhang Yun would be unable to pay his grandparents' living expenses, thus allowing Zhang Boshu to seize the three rooms in Zhang Yun's house.

Zhang Yun, of course, wouldn't expose them, allowing Zhang Boshu and Wang Yuanhui to fall into this fantasy.

"Captain, I need a plot of land for building a house."

Zhang Yun said with a smile.

Previously, Zhang Yun had drawn up a house plan at home. The building area was only 200 square meters, while one mu (a Chinese unit of area) is 667 square meters. Naturally, the rest of the land was used to build his own yard.

Most importantly, Zhang Yun also understood that one mu (approximately 0.16 acres) was already the ceiling for homestead land, and Zhang Youwei would definitely not agree to more land.

"what!"

"so much!"

Both Zhang Boshu and Zhang Youwei exclaimed in surprise.

This is too much!

This is definitely the largest residential plot in the entire Jiuwan Village!

"Where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Boshu immediately asked, because he didn't believe Zhang Yun could come up with so much money.

Although Zhang Boshu had previously guessed at home that Zhang Yun might want an acre of land, he was still very shocked when he actually heard it and couldn't believe that Zhang Yun could come up with so much money.

Of course, Zhang Boshu was even more curious about where Zhang Yun had earned so much money.

"Uncle, don't worry about me. I have a way to come up with 200 yuan."

Zhang Yun replied with a faint smile.

At this moment, Zhang Youwei replied with a smile: "Fifth Captain, you may not know this, but Zhang Yun is now the purchasing manager of Linshui Mine. He can get an advance from the mine."

Zhang Boshu was immediately shocked. He stared at Zhang Yun with a hint of panic in his eyes. He had indeed underestimated Zhang Yun once again. He never expected that Zhang Yun would actually be able to get close to the wealthy Linshui Mine.

"Captain, I've already reserved this plot of land for our home. I'll pay the 200 yuan to the brigade tomorrow."

Zhang Yun said with great confidence.

Zhang Youwei nodded in agreement.

Zhang Boshu was still shocked by the news of becoming a purchasing agent and was confused. He couldn't understand when Zhang Yun had become acquainted with Linshui Mine and how he could have obtained the status of a purchasing agent.

It's utterly unbelievable.

"Captain, Uncle, you should go back to the village first. I need to start from here and go to Laoshiqiao Village."

Zhang Yun had already chosen a plot of land for his homestead, and not wanting to waste any more time chatting with the two of them, he decided to go to Songshu Mountain.

Laoshiqiao Village is right next to Jiuwan Village. It is not far from the tea mountain and is also one of the ten production brigades of Qushui Commune.

Zhang Yun's claim of going to Laoshiqiao Village was merely an excuse; his real purpose was to go to Songshushan.

After all, Zhang Yun hadn't found the pheasant nest on Songshu Mountain yet, and they had to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

With 50 eggs in the Spirit Spring space, Zhang Yun could use them to develop a chicken farming industry, but he didn't plan to sell the pheasants he bred; he wanted to use them for his family's consumption.

The pheasant tasted so delicious that Zhang Yun wanted to achieve pheasant freedom.

"Old Stone Bridge? Oh, I see. You want to buy stone from the Old Stone Bridge Brigade, right? You do need a lot of stone to build such a big house."

Zhang Youwei filled in the blanks in his mind and said it with a smile.

Zhang Yun could only nod.

Then, Zhang Youwei, Zhang Boshu, and Yang Dafei returned home in an oxcart.

Zhang Yun watched the three leave, and then hurried along the edge of the tea mountain towards Songshu Mountain.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yun arrived at Songshu Mountain and immediately went into the mountain.

“Yesterday, I searched for various medicinal herbs, and later I caught a female pheasant in that area. I have determined the approximate location of the pheasant's nest.”

At this moment, Zhang Yun arrived at the place where a lot of mint was growing, and smiled confidently.

Zhang Yun was now certain that the pheasant nest was within a 200-meter radius of him.

Now that the general area had been determined, Zhang Yun had an idea.

At this moment, Zhang Yun immediately took out a machete, selected a natural pit, dug for a while, and trimmed the pit to form a pit one meter deep.

The familiar procedure was repeated: the area around the pit was filled with branches, leaving only an arched opening, and then pine branches were cut down to cover the branch cage.

Finally, Zhang Yun took out a bamboo tube filled with spiritual spring water.

After placing the bamboo tube into the pit, Zhang Yun went ten meters away, climbed a tree, and waited quietly.

At the same time, Zhang Yun also relied on his superb hearing to sense the movements around him.

Once Zhang Yun determines the direction from which the pheasants are heading, he can pinpoint the location of their nest and then search that area carefully.
