Chapter 54 - Surveying the Site

The two parked their car, and Chen Yang led them to the woods behind his backyard.

“For this patch of woods, I want you to fence half of it with barbed wire,” Chen Yang pointed at the woods and said.

The boss, upon hearing this, did not respond immediately.

Instead, he stepped into the woods, estimated the area visually for a while, and then precisely measured it with a ruler.

“Boss, even if you use two-meter-tall barbed wire to enclose all these woods, I’m afraid it would only cover a little over a thousand square meters, not three to four thousand,” the boss said somewhat disappointedly after completing his calculations.

He had originally thought it was a large project of three to four thousand square meters.

But unexpectedly, having traveled a long distance, it turned out to be just over a thousand, so feeling disappointed was quite normal.

Seeing the expression on the boss’s face, Chen Yang knew what he was thinking, and immediately replied, “Don’t worry, there’s another site I haven’t shown you yet.”

“Oh, I see.”

The boss’s face cleared of disappointment immediately upon hearing this.

“Then please lead the way, Boss.

I think I have estimated here quite precisely, but I will calculate the exact square footage after the construction is completed and you inspect it,” the boss said cheerfully.

“Okay, follow me,” Chen Yang did not waste words, and turned around to lead the boss toward Weed Slope.

The two walked for a while, exchanging words along the way.

In the conversation, Chen Yang learned that the boss’s surname was Fu!

He was forty years old and had been working with barbed wire for over twenty years in the county town.

“Although I’ve been working with barbed wire for so many years, it’s the first time I’ve seen a young customer like you, especially one who starts with three to four thousand square meters!” Boss Fu said with a laugh as they walked.

Chen Yang just smiled slightly, saying nothing more.

He guessed that Boss Fu probably thought he was from a wealthy second generation.

However, Chen Yang didn’t feel the need to explain further.

Let him interpret it as he wished.

Chen Yang, followed by cheerful Boss Fu, reached Weed Slope and then pointed at the large grassland ahead, “This is the spot.

You guys need to fence this area too, but the height needs to be over four meters, and the top must be sealed!”

“Sure!

Just a moment, Boss,”

Boss Fu nodded his head, then started walking around Weed Slope, mentally estimating the exact area of the slope.

After a bit of walking, Boss Fu realized:

The scale of Weed Slope wasn’t large either; the entire slope was only about four to five hundred square meters.

If done normally, making a fence wouldn’t need one to two thousand square meters, but since it required four meters in height, and needed to be sealed,

it would roughly add up to two thousand square meters.

“Okay!

I think I’ve seen enough.

I’ll bring my team over for construction once the barbed wire is ready in a couple of days,” Boss Fu said, still chuckling.

The woods were just over a thousand square meters, and Weed Slope over two thousand square meters, adding up to indeed over four thousand square meters.

This indeed was a big business deal!

“Mhm, that’s fine!” Chen Yang nodded, and then after exchanging contact information, Boss Fu drove away happily in his van.

Having sent Boss Fu off, Chen Yang returned to the clinic and also went to the backyard to check on the living conditions of the pheasants and rabbits.

These pheasants and rabbits, confined by Chen Yang for a while, no longer exhibited their initial liveliness.

They looked as if they were suffering from depression.

They were listless every day.

However, Chen Yang didn’t have any good solutions for this, he could only hope that the Boss Fu who was just mentioned, would bring people over to start construction soon.

In this way, he could also return these wild rabbits back to nature.

“Ah!

The breeding farm is ready to start, but the issue with the Spiritual Yuan Grass has become a tough problem!” Looking at the wild rabbits in the cowshed, Chen Yang couldn’t help but sigh heavily as he thought about the Spiritual Yuan Grass.

The construction of the breeding farm was about to start, but there wasn’t a single clue about the Spiritual Yuan Grass.

If he wanted to breed on a large scale and ensure that the pheasants of Weed Slope wouldn’t run away during construction, he must hurry to concoct several taming pills.

Then, he would scatter them along with fresh corn kernels around Weed Slope.

That way, all the pheasants in Weed Slope would eat the taming pills and obediently stay in Weed Slope.

“Let’s go out again and look around.

If there really is no Spiritual Yuan Grass, I might as well go to the county tomorrow and buy some back!” Chen Yang clenched his teeth, put on his knapsack, and set off from home again.

He planned to continue checking in the back mountain.

But as soon as Chen Yang had left the village, he ran into Kexin Wu, who was strolling around.

Kexin Wu was dressed in a sporty style today.

She wore a pristine white shirt and a pair of loose-fitting fabric pants, looking very youthful and attractive.

The impression she gave off was like an international star participating in a reality show in the countryside.

Very charismatic.

“Yo, Village Chief, you’re not at the village office, what are you strolling around the village for?” Chen Yang walked up and curiously asked.

“Of course, I’m getting to know the situation of Willow River village!

Do you think I, the Village Chief, have nothing to do?” Kexin Wu rolled her eyes at Chen Yang and responded irritably.

Looking at Kexin Wu’s adorable demeanor, Chen Yang slightly smiled.

“I really didn’t see that!

You’re quite dedicated as a Village Chief.

I initially thought you were just here to burnish your image!”

“Who’s here to burnish their image!

I’m genuinely here to help Willow River village prosper!” Kexin Wu rolled her eyes at Chen Yang again, then curiously replied, “Who was that person walking with you on the ridge earlier?

I’ve never seen him before?”

“The person walking with me on the ridge?” Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment and then remembered he had just taken Boss Fu to see Weed Slope.

“That person is the boss of a construction crew from the city.

I had him come over to check out the site, so he could help me fence it off for my breeding project.”

“The boss of a construction crew?” Kexin Wu seemed surprised and then said, “I didn’t expect you to act so quickly.

You just signed the contract this morning, and by afternoon, you had already found someone to prepare for construction.”

“I have to be on top of it, after all, it’s over four thousand a year, we have to hasten,” Chen Yang quipped.

Kexin Wu chuckled at this, not saying much else.

Although Chen Yang seemed to be joking, Kexin Wu still appreciated his proactive and straightforward style.

“Since you’re preparing to start the breeding project, why are you carrying a knapsack up the mountain?

Don’t tell me you are dealing in medicinal herbs while running the farm?” Kexin Wu pointed at the knapsack on Chen Yang’s back and asked.

“No, I just wanted to gather some medicinal herbs from the mountain as a backup.

Even though I am starting the breeding, I still need to take care of the business at the medicine hall,” Chen Yang cheerfully responded.

“Oh, I see!

Then hurry up and get those medicinal herbs from the mountain.

I won’t bother you anymore.

If there’s anything you need about the breeding project, or the village can help with, just say the word!

As the village’s spearhead, our village office ought to support you fully!” Kexin Wu initially wanted to say she would help Chen Yang with all her might. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But thinking of her still somewhat unfamiliar relationship with Chen Yang, she changed her wording.

This, naturally, Chen Yang also understood.

“Hehe, then I’ll thank the Village Chief in advance!

If there’s any problem, I’ll be sure to contact you!” Chen Yang thanked her, then walked past Kexin Wu and started up the mountain to gather herbs.

Watching Chen Yang’s retreating figure, Kexin Wu smiled briefly, then walked back to the village office along the ridge.
