Yang Fan didn't go to the Pear Ridge construction site to eat, instead, he had lunch at his own house. Yang Guoqing, the village chief, just happened to step into the restaurant, and said that he had something to discuss with Yang Fan, so Yang Fan had no choice but to invite Yang Guoqing to sit down with him for a meal. Yang Guoqing also didn't stand on ceremony, sitting down on his butt.

Yang Fan didn't cook anything small. He cooked a big stew for the helpers in Rift Ridge. Yang Fan and Yang Guoqing brought a big bowl of steamed buns with a few hot steamed buns that had just come out of the wok.

"Oh my, I'm so full. I've long heard of the fragrance from your family's chowder. I only found out today that it's not exaggerated at all. Xiaofan, did you put something in the dish? Why is it so delicious?" Yang Guoqing asked contentedly while rubbing his bulging belly.

"I didn't leave anything behind. Second Uncle, to tell you the truth, this is the high-tech vegetables that I'm going to introduce. They'll be planted on the Pear Ridge that I signed up for. Do you think they'll sell for a high price?" Yang Fan took the opportunity to reveal something to Yang Guoqing, as he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble when the time came.

"Is that so?" Yang Guoqing's eyes lit up when he heard that, "What high-tech vegetables? Can our village grow them on a large scale?"

Hearing Yang Guoqing's question, he answered directly, "Of course you can, but the requirements for growing this kind of vegetable are too high, so you can't use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Furthermore, the seeds are extremely expensive, so I want to try to grow them first.

Hearing this, Yang Guoqing also nodded and said yes, this vegetable taste was so good, how could it be randomly grown. If it was a good plant, then wouldn't all the farmers under the heavens grow it?

Therefore, Yang Guoqing put the matter of growing vegetables aside and said to Yang Fan, "Xiaofan, what is Uncle looking for you for? Didn't your family want to build a house, and you want to build a bridge? If you need workers, can you use them against your fellow villagers in Yangshu? If you are lacking in manpower, can you find someone else?"

Yang Fan laughed, "Second Uncle, even if you didn't come looking for me, I still wanted to talk to you about it. Not to mention my family building a house and bridge, even if you want to build the mountain road from our village to Qingshan Town, I also want to use it on our Yangshu villagers. If we don't have enough people, we can look for an outsider from the nearby village."

"The mountain path?" Yang Guoqing was very surprised, "I haven't decided to build a road yet, but your 300 thousand is still not enough to build a road!"

Yang Fan laughed out loud, "Second Uncle, you don't know yet, but that Wang Da Fu from the last time came, he actually sent two of his men down, and has already explored the terrain. He went back to work on the design and budget, and said that he wanted to donate to us to repair the road, I didn't have the time to tell you."

Yang Guoqing nearly had a heart attack from excitement. If he was able to fix this mountain road called Yang Shuigou while he was the village chief, it would be a lifetime's worth of contribution. No matter who sponsored it, it wouldn't be under his jurisdiction, so of course it would count as his contribution.

Yang Guoqing was overjoyed. He repeatedly praised Yang Fan's understanding, knowing that he would benefit the countryside.

Second Uncle, but I have something to say first, I am only responsible for introducing them, and whether they can specifically use us, Yang Mu, or the others, they will have to decide in the end. If someone goes to the construction site to mess around, or if the construction method does not use him, then I do not care.

"Xiaofan, don't worry. If anyone goes to the construction site to make us lose face, you don't need to say anything. I wasn't willing to do it. I'm going to break his dog legs!"

On the way here, Yang Fan had told Li Da Gang to recruit 30 workers from the local area, and that was what the rural people did. Unless they were skilled workers, it would be the same for everyone else.

This was also the reason why Poplar Gully didn't have an engineering team. If you were to build a house on someone's territory in a large village, you would have to use an engineering team from that person's village. Otherwise, you won't be able to do any work.

The reason why Yang Fan did not personally recruit workers was given to Village Head Yang Guoqing. Firstly, it was to make things easier, and secondly, it was to give benefits to Yang Guoqing. Although the two families had a good relationship with each other, but sometimes they could not lack some benefits.

Moreover, Yang Guoqing was the most suitable person to do this. He could suppress those thorns in the village, and didn't need Yang Fan to offend people. Yang Fan was just a member of the younger generation in the village, and was his uncle's.

After Yang Guoqing left, Yang Fan first fed two dogs, then fed two eagles, and then prepared to have a beautiful afternoon nap.

These few days, Yang Fan had been extremely busy. He had been working in the Pear Ridge as well as training Baimei to enter the mountain. It could be said that he had taken advantage of his leisure time to enjoy life!

After waking up, Yang Fan entered the mountain again. He wanted to capture a nest of wild bees and store them in the space of the jade ornament. The plants in the space grew more and more.

In order to catch wild bees, he had to find a wild beehive. Yang Fan knew how to find a wild beehive from a young age. Not only had he heard his father Yang Dongfang say this before, he had even personally followed Yang Dongdong into the mountain several times when he was in primary school.

At that time, Yang Fan's family kept dozens of boxes of bees, which were exchanged for honey to supplement the family's income. When Yang Fan was in high school, he once spread the bee plague in the village, causing all the bees to die.

Because he had long prepared to raise bees in the Jade Pendant Space, Yang Fan arranged an old beehive in his house a few days ago and stored it in the Jade Pendant Space, waiting for the time to hunt bees in the mountains.

To find a wild hive, one must choose a relatively sunny and warm weather. Today's weather was perfect, because only in this kind of good weather would bees be most active in gathering pollen.

Yang Fan first searched the mountain for a while, but didn't find any traces of bees on the nectar flowers. This meant that there weren't any wild bees living in this area. He then looked for a new valley to try his luck.

Yang Fan followed the edge of the forest, carefully searching for hollow trees.

It didn't take long for Yang Fan to find a few worker bees collecting pollen on the wildflowers by the roadside. He immediately adopted the method of capturing one worker bee, which was preparing to return to its nest, and tied a 3-4 cm thin thread around its waist. At the other end, he tied a red plastic film, then released the worker bee that was buzzing in protest, telling it to return to its nest.

Yang Fan was extremely fast. He followed the worker bee all the way back to the hive. However, due to the complex terrain of the mountain, he still lost the worker bee after tracking it for a while.
