Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 275: Vision of the Future 2

"Yes, just tell me what you need. I can get it without the help of my master." Yunhua said.

"Then I'll say it directly. I'll reserve a room for you and you're welcome to come anytime you want." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, that's what you said." Yunhua said with a smile.

"Keep your word. I'll go get a piece of paper and write down everything you need. You can buy according to the list when the time comes. Don't buy anything too expensive. We have limited funds."

After saying this, Xu Han went back to the room. When she came out again, she was holding a charcoal pencil and paper in her hands.

After all, she had watched a lot of costume dramas and read a lot of novels in the past, and often saw that wealthy families would spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a flower or plant. Xu Han could not bear to buy these.

I would be so sad if it died. This is all money.

However, Xu Han is still quite confident about growing flowers and plants. In modern times, there are many flowers, plants, cacti and succulents on the balcony.

Thinking of this, Xu Han finally remembered the flower stand she had forgotten, on which were placed many flowers and plants.

Before the drought came, Xu Han took it outside to raise it for a while, but later because of the weather, Xu Han put it in a corner.

Don't forget to take it out in the spring, and then try to take some cuttings and plant them all over the yard.

By the way, there seem to be some flower seeds. I originally wanted to take them back to my hometown and scatter them on the roadside, but I never brought them back. I will look for them when I have time.

I seemed to have seen it when I was tidying up the clutter last time, but I couldn’t remember where I put it for a while.

"We must plant more fruit trees. Yunyun and I both like to eat fruit. There are many fruit trees that can be grown in this place. Persimmons, grapes, pears, apricots, plums, loquats, cherries, and peaches can all be planted." Xu Han said as he wrote.

"Pomegranates, mulberries and dates are also acceptable," Lu Chuan added.

"Yes, there is something else that I can't remember at the moment. I will add it when I remember it." Xu Han said.

"Almost any flower can be planted, including various chrysanthemums, roses, orchids, etc. As long as they are not tropical flowers, almost anything can be planted."

"It would be great if we could have some goldfish or something like that, then we can make an ecological tank, which would be really nice." Xu Han added.

"Goldfish may be a little difficult to transport. They are especially likely to die on the way." Yunhua interrupted.

"It's okay if we don't have this. We can catch some fish in the river and put them in. When they grow up, we can catch some to eat anytime." Xu Han said.

"Yes, let's go to the pond in the spring. If there are lotus roots, we can transplant some over and plant them in the pond. We can then enjoy the flowers in the summer." Lu Chuan said.

"This is good. Normally there will be orchids and the like in the mountains. In the spring, we can also go to the mountains to pick some and plant them." Grandpa Zhao said.

"At that time, we can also transplant some commonly used medicinal herbs and mosquito repellent plants around the yard, so that there will be no mosquitoes in the summer." Zhao Yunyun also interjected.

"Yes, this will increase our workload. The house will definitely be very different when you come next time." Xu Han said with a smile.

It is such a happy thought to think that my house will be full of flowers in the near future, I can cut a flower and put it in the flowerpot in the morning, I can pick my favorite fruits when I go out, and there will be fresh vegetables all year round.

The more Xu Han thought about it, the more excited she became. She really hoped that this day would come soon.

Regarding the issue of building a new courtyard, everyone was discussing it one after another. Everyone had different opinions. Everyone expressed their own ideas. After synthesizing the opinions, Xu Han and Lu Chuan finally determined the layout.

When we were chatting enthusiastically, we went into the yard together to look at the layout, and then went outside the yard together to determine the location of the fish pond.

"Fruit trees can be planted on the hillside nearby, and the open space in front of the yard can be used to grow crops. When the time comes, the surrounding big trees can be cut down, and they will not block the sunlight." Grandpa Zhao said.

"That's fine. The fruit trees are planted close to each other on the hillside. We can then build a small path here so we don't have to take the detour ahead." Lu Chuan said.

"There is such a large open space in front that can be used to grow a lot of crops. If all is opened up, it will be 30 acres. If we open up the land to the side, we can open up 40 to 50 acres!" said Xu Han.

"We'll see when the time comes. The wasteland we reclaimed before has a total of nearly 20 acres. If we plan it well in the future, we can grow a lot of things." Lu Chuan replied.

"We don't need too much. If we plant too much, we won't be able to handle it. We'll decide based on the situation when the time comes." Xu Han said.

"In the past two months, Xiaochuan and I have reclaimed a lot of wasteland. We can just watch over the crops when the time comes. Yunhua happens to be here recently, so he can join us if he has time." Grandpa Zhao said.

"I'm good at heavy work. I can ensure that it's done quickly and well." Yunhua said excitedly.

Xu Han always felt that if the timing was not inappropriate, Yunhua would roll around on the ground for a few times, and she couldn't wait to show off her strong arms.

"Then I won't be polite. It just so happens that while you are here, let's dig out the fish pond together." Lu Chuan patted Yunhua's shoulder and said bluntly.

"Where should we dig the fish pond? How about next to the stream?" Xu Han asked.

"That's what I was thinking of. There's a fish pond and a lotus pond dug next to the stream. It'll be very convenient to divert water." Lu Chuan said.

"I think it's okay. We can stay a little further away from the creek to avoid flooding when it rains heavily." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Under normal circumstances, there won't be a lot of water in the stream, at most it would be like this. We just need to dig about five meters below the current stream water." Lu Chuan said.

"Yes, there has been a lot of rain this year, so this won't happen again under normal circumstances in the future." Yunhua also agreed.

"Then let's confirm it. We can start construction tomorrow." Xu Han said.

"Why wait until tomorrow? You can start working today. Now that we have finished lunch, we have nothing to do anyway." Yunhua said.

"Aren't you going to take a rest?" Xu Han asked.

"If you don't rest, this distance is meaningless." Yunhua refused bluntly.

"Okay then, I'll go back and get the tools." Since Yunhua said so, Lu Chuan didn't hesitate.

After Lu Chuan got the tools back, several people began to draw lines on the ground with wood ash.

The two ponds are close to each other, with a route in the middle for easy walking.

A pond is about one acre in size and is very square and neat.
