Passing his home's vegetable patch, Ye Zi saw that it was already green.

In the beginning of spring, Boss Jiao was even more impatient than Ye Family and his grandfather-grandson pair when they came over to take a look. He only calmed down when he saw the rows of earth membranes and the green grass underneath.

In the morning, there were already people busily working in the vegetable garden. When they saw Ye Zi and Wang Shujie passing by, they greeted them loudly.

The tidied up area seemed to have two hills, one was slightly higher and the other was slightly shorter, and there was even a large depression in the middle. Lin Haiming had also thought of a way to dig a curved channel that led to the mountain spring, and adding to that the already laid irrigation system, it was very convenient to use water to irrigate here. Of course, Ye Family had also poured quite a bit of money into it.

As there was a flat area in the middle, there was no need to open terraced fields on the hillside. A portion of the fields were reclaimed and used by Ye Zi to grow herbs, while the rest were used to grow the flowers introduced by the village and the new cherry tomato plants he had specially found. There were still a lot of open spaces in the middle, and now only a wooden house was built for people to rest in. Ye Zi didn't know what kind of house he would build here, so he left it for now.

Two hills, the tall one already became a peach mountain because a part of the peach tree was originally left behind, and only waited for the next year's peach blossom to bloom, this place must definitely be extremely beautiful, and the Taoyuan Village could also become a real thing.

The short hill also had quite a bit of area, so all sorts of fruits that could grow here were planted there, such as apples, pears, oranges, cherries, dates, pomegranates, and so on. The age of the fruit tree seedlings used here was not short. Because of this, Tang Lingqiu specially introduced a reliable nursery cultivation base for Ye Zi and bought all of these seedlings in one go.

After these fruit trees were planted and planted, the heavens had helped, letting the spring rain flow down, watering the entire area, making it look completely new. It was no longer a place filled with weeds.

Due to their trust towards Big Boss, some rented a few acres of land from other families that went out to work, while others rented or contracted empty wasteland from the Village Chief in preparation for a big fight. The nearby villages were all envious of this, because during the previous lessons, there were already some villagers who rushed over to listen to them, even if they didn't have to learn anything at home.

However, even more families were in a wait-and-see state, not daring to act rashly. Once they grew up and the company went back on their word, they would not be able to afford the small amount of money they had.

Shanshui Company's technical management was very good, so they sent a technician to take care of Taoyuan Village and the technical guidance from a few nearby villages. However, because there were a lot of growers in Taoyuan Village, this technician surnamed Jiang stayed at old village head's house.

If there were any problems with the other villages, they would have to drive a motorcycle to call people over, and then send them back. Normally, they would be envious of the Taoyuan Village's good village head, but in their eyes, these things were done by the village head to help Zhang Luo get up.

Ye Zi originally thought that his family would also need to hire an agricultural and forestry technician, but Lin Haiming took care of this matter and brought back a bunch of books related to fruit tree cultivation to eat. He also frequently asked the Jiang technician who lived in his family, who also knew a lot about fruit tree planting.

Ye Zi and Wang Shujie were passing through the cove when they heard someone calling out. Not long later, they saw Lin Haiming and the Jiang technician walk down from the mountain.

"Uncle Lin, Technician Jiang."

"It's Leaves and Jie. Where are you going?" Lin Haiming was just asking the technician for his opinion when he stopped and looked at the two of them.

"I'll take the time to take a walk in the mountains and gather some mountain tea while I'm resting." Ye Zi pointed at the basket on his back.

"Just the two of you?" Lin Haiming was worried, "Why don't we see who will go into the mountain and call them?"

Wang Shujie waved his hand and said, "No need, we didn't go too far. You guys chat, we'll be leaving first." He quickly pulled Ye Zi away. He didn't want anyone to hold him back, so Ye Zi waved at the two of them.

When he was sent here, someone had already warned him that Ye Family was something he needed to take care of, not to mention the fact that after coming here, he often saw the big boss of the company coming and going of Taoyuan Village, so he was very close to the youth of Ye Family. If he did not have any eye for discernment, he would not have to work in this company.

"These two brats, I think their work is fake. If you want to play, that's the truth." Lin Haiming scolded.

The Jiang technician smiled and said, "It's only right for the boys and girls who just entered high school to love to play. Back then, I also ran all over the mountains, and the kids in the mountains all grew up like this."

"That's right …" Lin Haiming felt that he and Brother Jiang had a lot in common. In the field of fruit tree cultivation, he had never hidden his skills, so how could he know that Jiang Wenqi had more of an interest in Ye Family.

The two of them talked along the way, meeting Old X who was leading a big dog on a tour of the mountains, and were currently employed by Ye Family.

"Old Uncle, why are you here so early to patrol the mountain?" Although there were still no results on the mountain, the seedlings that they had planted were all money. If there was one less, Lin Haiming would feel heartache.

Old Uncle was an old hunter in the village, but now he didn't go into the mountains to hunt anymore. Besides picking some mountain goods, he also trained his big dog to be a hunting dog. Old Uncle was actually surnamed Miao, in his forties. He was a bachelor, and never had the thought of getting married. Other than the older generation, the village kids were all used to hearing Old Uncle call him "Old Uncle", and they were all very close to him.

Miao Old Uncle walked over with the big dog and said, "Someone told me that I was worried when I saw Ye Dong, that brat, appearing on this side of the mountain. I brought Blackie to take a walk around and I don't want this brat to have any bad intentions."

Lin Haiming immediately scolded him: "This brat is full of bad intentions, and his legs just can't calm down. He has to stir up some trouble, and he deserves to be haunted over and over again. I say he should just lie on the bed."

Technician Jiang pushed his glasses and did not say anything, but he took this matter to heart, and told Elder Brother Zhao, who was beside the boss, to prepare Taoyuan Village, that he was living in Taoyuan Village now, and that all sorts of things were known in the village. He even listened to the things that the Ye and Su Families did a few years ago, and said in his heart that Lin Haiming was right, his legs just did not feel safe at all.

Old Uncle smiled and did not answer. He couldn't possibly curse that bad guy Ye Dong to break his leg again, right? No matter what, he was Old Ye's grandson, and he might not even have face left.

"Old Uncle, continue patrolling the mountain. I'll also walk around to see if there's anything wrong." "Brother Jiang, you can go back for now."

The three left in three different directions.

It would be strange if Ye Dong and his mother would feel comfortable if the huge amount of money from Ye Family was poured onto the mountain.

From time to time, she would hear her mother gritting her teeth as she came back from the outside. Standing in front of his bed, she angrily accused Ye Family's grandfather and grandson, as if this old and young couple had committed murder and set fire to his family. Instead of giving the job of overseeing others to their family, Ye Wenbo had instead given it to Lin Haiming, the gambling ghost.

If it was someone else, they would probably be worried about getting into trouble, but old village head and his son really weren't afraid of Wang Guilann's trouble. old village head still had some prestige in Taoyuan Village after all, so no one would think that handing the matter over to Lin Haiming was bullying the grandfather and grandson of Ye Family for coveting their money. On the contrary, if the matter really fell into the hands of Wang Guilann and his son, the grandfather and grandson of Ye Family would truly have no place to complain about it.

How much money did they get from working at Ye Family? If they were too tired from work, they would receive a bit more. They would only try their best to find all sorts of reasons to deduct their wages. In the end, they might even make the big boss unhappy, so they would find someone else to take care of the mountain.

At the time, he only said that he was helping the old man and didn't need to pay the wages. Lin Haiming sneered and said what to do, and at the end of the final construction period, he didn't miss a single cent of Ye Fenn's wages. When he handed the wages over to Ye Fenn in front of others, the man's face was completely red, but his wife was watching by the side, so he didn't know what kind of joke he would have if he didn't accept the money.

Ye Zi, who entered the mountain, did not know that it was because Ye Family was so generous with their money that they did not suspect that they were taking care of the mountain on behalf of other bosses. They did not think that it would be possible for this young master to suddenly take out that much money and beat them to death.

Lin Haiming walked around the foot of the mountain but didn't find any traces of abnormalities, but he was still not completely at ease. He thought for a while, then went to the Ye Family to mention this matter, allowing Ye Wenbo to be mentally prepared.

Ye Zi and Wang Shujie quickly left Phoenix-tail Mountain at the back. They walked further and further along the mountain road that the villagers often left behind, and their speed didn't slow down in the slightest.

If it was before they entered the mountain together, it would definitely be Wang Shujie in front, and they would have to stop and wait for Ye Zi from time to time. If it was too narrow and steep a mountain road, they would have to give Ye Zi a hand to pull him.

The deeper they went into the mountain, the fresher the air became and the denser the spiritual energy was.

Ye Zi slowed down his pace, and Wang Shujie caught up from behind. He felt that his physical strength was still lacking compared to Ye Zi's, and asked curiously: "Ye, what is your Martial Cultivator level now?"

The more he understood about the ancient martial arts and Mad Knife Sect, the more he guessed that the things Ye Zi cultivated in and the set of things he naturally were not ordinary.

Ye Zi was unsure of this: "It's hard to judge. If we use all sorts of methods, we can probably deal with the fifth and sixth stage Martial Cultivator."

When he was learning alchemy, he did not relax his talisman's production. He had accumulated quite a lot of defensive attacks in his spatial space, so if he met enemies, he could throw out these talisman like they were free. He thought that he could easily stand aside and watch others weakly deal with them.

He had just learned the first spell, Fireball Technique, which rose from Mars to the size of a yellow bean after a period of practice. Although it looked weaker than the Fireball Charm right now, there was still a day where he would be able to release the powerful fireballs. This kind of attack method was not something that Ancient Martial Cultivator could learn, and the more he knew about cultivation, the more he realized that there were many methods to increase it.

However, Wang Shujie was very happy: "This is already very powerful, you must know that for a Ancient Martial Cultivator to reach Stage 5 or 6, the talented must have taken many years, and the further they advance, the slower it is. The old man said that he entered into the Innate Realm earlier than other old fellows, if not for the fact that he was injured later on, he would be considered one of the top experts in the martial arts world."

Ye Zi smiled and looked at him, "Hmm, when you become a top-notch expert in the future, I will see you put on airs."

He didn't have the personality of trying to be brave and not fight with others, but Wang Shujie's personality was different from his.

"Of course, Ye, just you wait. In the future, you'll be invincible throughout the world with me!" Wang Shujie said confidently, causing Ye Zi to laugh out loud, causing the mountain to be filled with the sound of jabbering birds flapping and flying.

They grew up here, so they were very clear on where the villagers often gathered their tea. However, there were definitely more people outside, and the deeper they went, the fewer people there would be. Thus, for the sake of convenience, the two of them went to some of the places inside.

The two didn't go out to play when they arrived. Instead, they began to work very seriously. They could take a look around while they were done with the harvest.

So they put down the basket, picked up the small triton and hung it on their chests, pinched the tea tree with both hands and put it into the triton in front of them, and when they had gathered a full triton they poured it into the basket.

Since they drank from their own homes, they didn't have to be so particular about it. There was a rustle under the tea tree. It was the sound of insects and snakes being scared away by them. No one would come this far to hunt pesticides, so there were also insects on the tea tree.

While Wang Shujie was busy talking and not paying attention, Ye Zi cut off a few branches and threw them into the space. The taste of the tea in the space must have reached a whole new level.

The two of them were able to match the efficiency of five or six adults. When their stomachs were growling with hunger, Wang Shujie called out to Ye Zi, poured the tea leaves that he had been holding in his mouth into the basket and said, "Ye, it's about time. Let's find a place to have some lunch."

"Alright, here we are." Ye Zi looked back and confirmed that it was almost there. The tea trees in the space would definitely grow.

The tea leaves in the basket were pressed down again and again before they were covered by a curtain of grass. The two carried the basket and walked on another mountain path. Soon, they arrived next to a small stream.

The taste of the fish in the mountain was especially delicious, but there weren't many of them, so they could only occasionally make a tooth sacrifice when they entered the mountain. The two of them had raised fish before, but they never did.

Ye Zi went down to the river to fish and let Wang Shujie fight some game. Wang Shujie was very happy about the distribution, he had long envied Ye Zi for his stone-throwing skills, and after practicing hard at his master's place, he started to think about when to take it out and show off. Meanwhile, Ye Zi took advantage of the time to fish and caught several dozen of prawns from the side and threw them into the space as well, otherwise, it wouldn't even be enough for the two of them to clench their teeth.

With the help of his spiritual sense, Ye Zi caught fish at a very high speed. After he cleaned up the fish downstream and set up a fire, he started to stew the fish soup. The fish were not big and they didn't even have a head for grilled fish, but the soup was especially delicious. He had also dug a few wild ginger on the way here, washed and cut a few slices before throwing them into the pot. At this time, Wang Shujie came back with two pheasants and looked very proud of himself.

Ye Zi praised him so much that his tail almost rose up into the sky. Luckily, Ye Zi knew that Ye Zi was smarter than him, so he obediently went down to clean up. Ye Zi washed the mushrooms that he collected and put some of them into the fish soup pot, while the other half was stuffed into the pheasant's stomach. When he came out in the morning, he had prepared all kinds of seasonings.
