Zhou Ying nodded in agreement. “Great. Speed is important, but not at the cost of quality. You keep an eye on them. I’ll make rounds, and we’ll talk in detail after that.”
“Do you need someone to accompany you?”
“No need. It’s fine as long as Shizhu follows me.”
“Alright, the wind is strong. You two be careful.” Head Fang turned around and left.
Zhou Ying brought Shizhu to check on the construction progress.
Many stones were deeply embedded in the ground because no one had cared for this manor for years.
There were many peach trees expanding over 200 acres, but the rest of the land was rugged and barren.
Even Shizhu, who had never worked in the fields before, could see that this land was barren. She could not help but ask, “Madam, I’m afraid this land won’t work. Was Master deceived into buying this place?”
“With the price of wasteland, what good land can you buy?
“Besides, I don’t plan to grow crops. I plan just to plant grass.”
“Plant grass and raise livestock?”
“Yes, we can harvest a lot of grass in such a large area as long as we can use it reasonably.” Zhou Ying replied while looking around.
She walked into the peach plantation and took a good look at them.
Perhaps because of the many disasters over the years, all the peach trees were not in good condition.
The seedlings were basically all dead and could be broken with just one hand.
More than half of the adult trees were also dead.
Although those still alive had bloomed flowers, very few bore fruit.
Also, there was a lot of peach resin covering the tree. No wonder they did not mention peach trees when they sold the land. To put it bluntly, they were worthless.
It was fine, as Zhou Ying could dig them up and repurpose the land.
There was a river in front of the peach plantation. The river was deep and wide, and it looked very clear. She could build a waterwheel here, which would be convenient for the manor.
“Madam, look, there are fish in this river, and they’re not the small ones.” Shizhu pointed at a spot and said.
Zhou Ying spread out her divine senses and looked into the river.
There were quite some fish, most of which she had released from her interspace. They were not on alert and were gathering in the water weeds.
It may be because there were not many people here, so they lived quite comfortably.
She said, “Go back and tell Uncle Fang they can fish them up when they have time. These can be distributed to the employees.”
“Unfortunately, we didn’t bring a net with us. Otherwise, we could have fished them up now.”
“Well, we can just bring it with us the next time we come.
“Let’s go. We should head back since we’re done surveying the place.”
They entered Head Fang’s dormitory, and Head Fang immediately ran over and asked, “Madam, do you want to have lunch here?”
“No, it’s alright. We’ll need to head back soon.” Zhou Ying answered and saw a pen and paper on the table.
She took the piece of paper and quickly outlined the general appearance of the manor. She planned out a few areas and said, “When the time comes, we’ll need to cut down this peach plantation and plant a total of 1,000 acres of grass.
“As for the seeds, I’ll give them to you later.
“Remember to leave a few walking paths in the middle for easy care.
“After the summer harvest, if there were red sweet potatoes or white potato seedlings, they could also be planted.
“It will improve the soil quality, and the sweet potatoes could still grow back after harvesting them twice.
“On this side of the grassfield, I’ll try to find some soybean and peanut seeds to plant them. They can be used to nourish the land, and they are also great for providing tofu and oil for the restaurant.
“Further down is going to be the vegetable garden. Some fruit trees might also be planted here, so remember to put more fertilizer here and plow deeply.
“I’ll get someone to install a waterwheel later. It’ll be much more convenient to water everything this way..”
