The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Zhang Yun rode his roe deer away from the old camphor tree square.

When they arrived at a house in the village's residential area, a middle-aged woman called out to Zhang Yun.

"Zhang Yun, I am Aunt Shan, Sun Fugui's wife."

Zhang Yun glanced at it and then remembered that it was indeed Sun Fugui's wife, He Xiushan.

Looking further, one could see that He Xiushan was accompanied by five children, each of whom carried a bamboo tube blocked with wet mud on their backs.

At that moment, Zhang Yun understood.

"Aunt Shan, did you bring me ants?"

Zhang Yun laughed.

Zhang Yun had told Sun Fugui to catch ants, and that he would be paid one cent for each ant in a bamboo tube.

"Yes."

He Xiushan said nervously that she had followed Sun Fugui's advice and taken the child to catch ants, but when she faced Zhang Yun alone, she was afraid that Zhang Yun would refuse to accept the goods.

Who needs ants? That sounds really weird.

Where in this rural land are there no ants?

Do I still need to buy it?

"Aunt Shan, how many bamboo tubes are there in total? Just name a number, and I'll give you the money right now."

Zhang Yun laughed.

These ants were naturally intended to be fed to the pheasants and frogs in the space; Zhang Yun simply wanted to enrich the diet of these domesticated wild animals.

There are 40 bamboo tubes in total.

Upon hearing Zhang Yun's words, He Xiushan's face lit up with joy, and she replied excitedly.

Zhang Yun immediately patted his pocket, actually taking out 4 yuan from his spiritual spring space, and handed it directly to He Xiushan.

"Aunt Shan, here's the money. Now give me all these bamboo tubes."

"Oh, right, if you still want to sell me ants tomorrow, you'll have to find the ant nest and dig it up. I'll pay you 5 cents for each ant nest, and I'll take as many as you have."

Zhang Yun then smiled and stated her request.

Individual ants are useless; they cannot reproduce. A queen ant is necessary for an ant colony to emerge.

Naturally, Zhang Yun now also wants to breed an ant colony in the Spirit Spring space so that it can meet the dietary needs of more and more pheasants and domestic chickens in the future.

"5 cents... Okay, okay, I'll definitely send you a lot of ant nests tomorrow."

He Xiushan was overjoyed when she heard this.

One ant nest costs 5 cents, ten nests cost 5 dollars... This money is too easy to make.

Now, He Xiushan was certain of what her husband, Sun Fugui, had said: Zhang Yun was a very grateful person. Just because he had lent money to Zhang Zhongli for medical treatment, now that Zhang Yun had become successful, he wanted to repay the favor.

He Xiushan finally understood that Zhang Yun was intentionally taking care of her.

Otherwise, there are ant nests everywhere in the countryside, and Zhang Yun could easily dig them up himself.

Zhang Yun tied all 40 bamboo tubes together, then rode the roe deer away quickly. When he reached a secluded place, he immediately stored them in his spiritual spring space.

Zhang Yun arrived at the blacksmith's shop next.

"Old Zhang, I'm here again."

Zhang Yun called out from the doorway, carrying two wild rabbits in his hand.

Last time, Zhang Yun said that as long as he forged the machete, he would send wild game to Zhang Laoguai.

"Hey, Yun Ya Zi, you're here."

Old Zhang spotted the two rabbits at first glance and shouted with shining eyes.

"Old Guai, these two wild rabbits are for you. Put their eyes back in, they're about to pop out."

Zhang Yun joked, tossing the wild rabbit into Zhang Laoguai's hands.

Old Zhang chuckled as he took the rabbit and placed it directly into an old wooden box inside the house before returning to Zhang Yun.

"Tell me, what tool do you want to create this time?"

Old Zhang asked happily.

"Old Guai, can you forge ten hoes for digging in one afternoon?"

Zhang Yun asked with a smile.

“Of course, no problem. I, Zhang Laoguai, will take your wild rabbit and even if I have to stay up all night, I will forge ten hoes.”

Old Zhang knew very well that wild rabbits were not cheap; if he bought them from a hunter, they would cost at least seven or eight yuan.

Zhang Yun has already given such a generous gift, so Old Zhang has no choice but to do his job.

"Old Guai, I'm out of iron this time. How much is a hoe?"

Zhang Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun realized that he needed to go to the Linshui Mine as soon as possible and apply to the mine manager to purchase some of the scrap from the waste warehouse.

"There's no iron material again... It's okay, Old Guai has some stockpiled, enough for ten hoes."

"How about this, I'll charge you 2 yuan for a hoe?"

Old Zhang said earnestly.

These 2 yuan are equivalent to 200 yuan in later times, which sounds very expensive.

However, Zhang Yun also understood that steel was very scarce in this era, and it was difficult for individuals to buy steel bars. They had to go to the county party committee to find the production command and obtain approval documents before they were qualified.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhang Laoguai to charge 2 yuan for a hoe.

"Okay, here's 20 yuan. I'll leave it to Lao Guai today. Ten hoes. It has to be done today. Tomorrow I need to dig and level the ground for my new house. Without these hoes, there's no way to start."

Zhang Yun didn't haggle, readily took out 20 yuan, and handed it directly to Zhang Laoguai.

Old Zhang's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected Zhang Yun to be so straightforward, and he seemed to be so wealthy.

After explaining the design of the hoe, Zhang Yun immediately rode his roe deer straight to his homestead.

Before digging, Zhang Yun naturally had to set aside his own acre of land so that he could start digging directly the next day.

About five minutes later, the roe deer brought Zhang Yun to the tea mountain.

Zhang Yun took out a machete and began hacking at many small trees on the mountain, cutting out dozens of tree stumps.

Then, Zhang Yun planted the tree stumps in the ground, marking out a rectangular plot of land, which was the homestead he wanted.

After finalizing the location of the homestead, Zhang Yun came to the land and carefully considered his options.

"We only have 18 days left, so it looks like we need to change the structure of the house."

"The original plan was to build a two-story house, with the first floor as a shop and the second floor for personal residence. Now, time is too tight. It's completely impossible to build a two-story house in 18 days, no matter how many people come to help."

"Then let's change the structure of the house and make it a courtyard house. The front five plots can be used for shops, the back row for living quarters, and the two side wings for kitchens and toilets."

Soon, Zhang Yun had a clear idea of ​​the layout of his courtyard house. Once he had a plan, he would draw it out as soon as he got home that night.

At this moment, Zhang Yun released the pangolin from the spiritual spring space.

“Dig a well in the middle of the courtyard of this traditional courtyard house.”

After determining the specific layout of the courtyard house, Zhang Yun was able to determine the approximate location of the courtyard, and he then went to the location he had chosen for digging the well.

Water is an essential condition during the house construction process, and it can also be used for household purposes later.

If we hire someone to dig a well, it will take several days to dig even ten meters, which will greatly delay the construction progress.

Fortunately, Zhang Yun had already subdued the pangolin. The pangolin, which had consumed 5 speed points, could penetrate even rock layers, making it perfect for digging wells.

"Silver Armor King, from now until tomorrow morning, you will stay here and drill a hole, digging all the way down into the ground."

Zhang Yun gave the order to the pangolin.

The pangolin understood Zhang Yun's words and immediately started digging at the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Digging is indeed fast.
