After dinner.
Dilly cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Xixi followed suit.
Only Huang Lei, Hu Ge, and Ye Chen were left chatting in the huge restaurant.
Ye Chen glanced at Huang Lei who was hiccuping, shook his head and asked with a smile,""Uncle, I remember that you're the chef of the mushroom house, right? If you don't go back to cook, what will they eat?”
"Eat whatever you want. If they can't, just let them starve. I'm exhausted from planting trees all morning. How can I have the energy to cook? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to your place to freeload.”
Huang Lei waved his hand. Clearly, he had long forgotten about those good-for-nothings in the mushroom house.
"Uncle, how much do you pay for planting trees and exchanging supplies?”
When Ye Chen heard Huang Lei talk about planting trees, his interest was piqued.
He remembered his yearning in the past. All the daily necessities, rice, and so on in the mushroom house were prepared by the program team for the guests in advance.
This year's gameplay seemed to be different from the past. They no longer worked part-time to earn living expenses.
They were only given three different plots of land for the guests to make their own plans and plant trees in exchange.
"It depends on which land to plant. For example, if the first land has already been reclaimed and can be directly planted, six seeds will be exchanged for one thing. If the second land has to be reclaimed by yourself, four seeds will be exchanged for one thing.”
Huang Lei briefly explained the exchange rules for planting trees to Ye Chen.
"Then how many trees did you plant this morning?”Ye Chen continued to ask.
"Thirty."
Huang Lei said as he stretched and sighed, saying helplessly,"
"After a hard morning, I only changed a tractor, an integrated stove, an electric cooker, and some rice oil, sauce, and vinegar.”
"I still have to continue planting tomorrow. I still want to change to a refrigerator, a three-wheeled motorcycle, an electric bike, and a cooking machine!”
"Isn't it just a refrigerator, a three-wheeled motorcycle, and a cooking machine? I do!" Ye Chen finally revealed his intentions.
Huang Lei's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that. His mouth was about to open as he looked at Ye Chen.
"Nephew, are you going to give us these things? How could he accept this!
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and glanced at Huang Lei as he teased him with a smile.
"Uncle, you don't look fair. Why do you always think of beautiful things? Of course, there are conditions.”
"I knew you wouldn't be so generous. Tell me, what are your conditions?”Huang Lei rolled his eyes at Ye Chen and asked.
"It's nothing much. I'm just preparing to brew peach wine. I need people to pick the flowers in my peach blossom forest.”
"I want to hire you to help me pluck them. In addition to the refrigerator, three-wheeled motorcycle, and cooking machine, I'll also give you an external propeller for wooden boats. As long as you clip it at the stern, you can use it as a speedboat.”
Ye Chen smiled calmly. This was his true goal.
He had planted a total of 15 acres of peach trees, about 6,000 trees!
If he plucked it himself, how long would it take?!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to ask how the Yellow Rampart Trees were exchanged for supplies.
And among the items he gave…
The fridge was just a second-hand replacement. It was probably 90% new!
He bought the three-wheeled motorcycle to transport materials when he was building a house. He rarely drove it.
He had also bought the propeller when he first moved in. It was mainly used for fishing in the river. Now, he had changed to a speedboat.
These things would only accumulate dust if they were thrown there. It was better to use them.
"Nephew, there are at least a few thousand peach trees in a dozen acres. Wouldn't we be exhausted if we pick all of them? I don't want to do such tiring work."
Huang Lei wasn't stupid either. He wouldn't lose his mind because of what Ye Chen had given him.
"When did I ask you to pick all the flowers from thousands of peach trees? I only asked you to pick some fresh and tender flowers.”Ye Chen shook his head and chuckled.
"Seven or eight baskets? That's fine. Seeing that you're so generous, I agree.”
Huang Lei thought for a moment and agreed.
He couldn't refuse Ye Chen's offer.
Ye Chen had given them so many things. If they were to rely on planting trees, how many would they have to plant!
Moreover…
When planting trees, the saplings had to be transported back from the neighboring village by boat and then dug a hole to plant. This was still the first land.
The second plot had to be reclaimed before it could be planted.
The third plot was even harder.
Picking peach blossoms was obviously easier than planting trees.
In addition, Ye Chen was his nephew. It was better to work for his family than for the production team.
"Uncle, do you need to go back and ask the others for their opinions?”
"There's no need to ask. I'm also the parent of the mushroom house. I'll make the decision.”Huang Lei smiled and waved his hand disapprovingly.
The two of them discussed the matter of plucking peach blossoms. Hu Ge suddenly thought of one of the reasons he came here.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I heard that there's a leisure farm called Heavenly Garden in Bailinzhou Village. Many people come here to play. Why don't you bring me around tomorrow? It's rare for me to come here.”
"It's just a broken farm. There's nothing fun. If you want to go, I can bring you there!”Ye Chen smiled casually.
"Nephew, look at what you're saying. Happy Fantian Garden is known as the number one leisure farm in Xiangxi. The characteristic homestays here, the theme scenes, and the live-action internet celebrities are the first choice for many people to travel. When your cousin heard that I was here to record a show, she even pestered me to bring her along. How could such a beautiful place be a run-down farm?”Huang Lei retorted.
"Is it as good as you say?"
Ye Chen rubbed his nose and mumbled.
