Chapter 230 Cutting Bamboo
The contract has been signed. If he raises any objections now, not only will it be useless, it will also undermine the child's self-confidence. It is better not to say anything. However, he still has to explain what he needs to explain.
The head of the village raised his teacup, blew away the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Since you have signed such a contract, you should stop running around. Stay at home for a while and look after your pepper fields when you have nothing to do. This is your most important task at the moment. Only when you put the money from selling peppers into your own pocket, this matter will be over. Do you understand?"
Lin Chuyi nodded seriously, "I understand, Village Chief Grandpa, I will stay at home during this period. Except for occasionally going to the town to buy things, I will not go anywhere else. I will just stay at home to take care of these pepper fields."
The village head was very satisfied with Lin Chuyi's understanding of the current situation. "Well, it's good that you know the importance of it. Now, let's talk about hiring people to plant trees. How many saplings do you have? I want to estimate the number of people..."
……
Lin Chuyi chatted with the village head for more than half an hour before leaving the village head's house.
Before leaving, the village head was still worried that Lin Chuyi didn't mean what he said. He had promised to stay and wait for the peppers to be harvested, but he ran away the next moment. Therefore, he specifically reminded Lin Chuyi again, which made Lin Chuyi feel a little amused and helpless, and he could only nod repeatedly.
After leaving the headman's house, Lin Chuyi went straight back to her own home. After returning home, Lin Chuyi was not idle. She took a machete for chopping firewood from the utility room at home. Just as she was about to go out to the back mountain to chop bamboo, she met Grandpa Huang who had just returned from visiting the fields.
"Hey, girl, you're back, what's this?" Grandpa Huang was very surprised to see Lin Chuyi coming back, but when he saw the machete in Lin Chuyi's hand, the surprise on his face turned into shock.
Lin Chuyi followed Grandpa Huang's line of sight and saw the machete in his hand. He raised the machete and said with a smile, "You are talking about this. This is what I will use to cut bamboo in the mountains later."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Grandpa Huang was obviously relieved. Just now, when he saw the girl carrying a machete and about to go out, he thought something had happened and she was going to go out to fight with a knife. It's good that it's not the case, it's good that it's not the case.
"Otherwise, what do you think I want to do with the knife?" Lin Chuyi asked with a smile.
"Nothing, nothing." Grandpa Huang smiled awkwardly. He did not intend to reveal his true feelings. He continued, "Girl, how much bamboo do you want to cut? If the quantity is large, I will go with you. It will be faster for two people to work together, and we can also bring it back directly with a bullock cart."
Lin Chuyi shook his head, "You don't have to go with me, I have other tasks for you."
"Okay." When Mr. Huang heard Lin Chuyi say that there were other tasks for him, he immediately stood up straight and pretended to listen attentively.
Seeing Mr. Huang being so serious, Lin Chuyi smiled and waved her hand: "Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal. Did you see the saplings in the yard?"
Grandpa Huang glanced at the neatly arranged saplings in the yard and nodded subconsciously.
"The head of the village will bring people to get the saplings in a while. You can help me keep an eye on them at home. When it's time to pick them up, you can hand this job over to Madam Shen. Go pick up the little ones first. After you send the children back, you can drive the ox cart to the foot of the back mountain to wait for me."
"it is good."
After Grandpa Huang agreed, Lin Chuyi picked up his machete and carried a backpack with hemp ropes on it, and went to the back mountain to cut bamboo.
After lunch, Grandpa Huang drove the ox cart and took Lin Chuyi into the mountains.
After Lin Chuyi went up the mountain, she looked around and saw that there was no one around. She called up the control panel, put on the species detection glasses, and walked straight towards the small bamboo forest on the mountain.
The route Lin Chuyi took was not usually taken by many people, and there were a lot of weeds and rocks, so she used a machete to clear a path as she walked. When she came across species that were not in the game space, she stopped to collect them before continuing on her way. She collected quite a few new species along the way.
In addition to the samples provided to the space, Lin Chuyi also picked a lot of wild chestnuts, which she planned to take home and make chestnut roast chicken.
Collecting as I walked, I finally arrived at the wild bamboo forest.
Lin Chuyi walked forward with a machete in hand and picked out bamboos that were about the same thickness as an adult's thumb, intending to use them to make triangular clothes hangers.
After cutting enough bamboo, Lin Chuyi stopped, squatted beside the pile of cut bamboo, and cut off the branches on the spot, leaving only a bare bamboo pole. He then cut the cut bamboo pole into several sections, making each section about two meters long. Finally, he tied the cut bamboo poles with the hemp rope he brought.
Lin Chuyi tied four bundles of bamboo poles in total. After she finished, she saw that it was still early, so she picked a bamboo as thick as an adult's fist in the bamboo forest. After cutting it down, the size of the bamboo joints made it into a bamboo pole about one meter long. She planned to use this thick bamboo pole to make bamboo tube rice.
After tying up the thick bamboo poles, Lin Chuyi didn't plan to continue cutting bamboo. She used the remaining hemp rope to tie several bundles of bamboo together.
After doing all this, Lin Chu estimated the time and thought that Grandpa Huang would not drive over so early, so she put the bundled bamboo and the backpack filled with half a basket of wild chestnuts into the space for temporary storage. Then she picked up the machete and walked around nearby, adding new species to the space.
When the time was almost up, Lin Chuyi started walking back along the same route he came.
Lin Chuyi had good eyesight and could see Grandpa Huang waiting at the foot of the mountain from afar. Lin Chuyi did not rush down the mountain, but hid behind a big tree. Using the cover of the tree trunk and weeds, he took out the packed bamboo and backpack from the space.
She carried the backpack in front of her and the bundled bamboo behind her, then walked down the mountain with steady steps.
Grandpa Huang, who was waiting on the oxcart, saw that Lin Chuyi had carried so many things. He quickly stepped forward to take over the bamboo that Lin Chuyi was carrying, and said distressedly: "Oh, girl, why are you carrying so many things? How can your small body bear it? Put them down quickly and let me carry them."
Lin Chu dodged the hand that Grandpa Huang extended and smiled as he replied, "It's okay, I'm very strong. We're already at the foot of the mountain, so a few more steps won't make a difference. Don't bother with that. Go turn the cart around first. I'll put the things on it, and then we can go back."
"Hey, I'll go right away." When Uncle Huang heard Lin Chuyi say this, he didn't insist any more. He just responded and hurriedly got in the car.
After Grandpa Huang turned the ox cart in the right direction, Lin Chuyi unloaded the bamboo on his body into the cart. Several bundles of bamboo filled the small ox cart completely.
