Yan Zeyan came over happily.

Yang Feng saw him coming and joked, "Why, the harvest is already over, and you're here to inspect in person?"

"I'm worried. Let's take a look at the soil and ecological conditions here."

Yan Zeyan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come back at this time."

"Come back and have a look. I may have to go on a long trip soon, so I probably won't have time to come back by then."

Yang Feng thought of what Murong Wan said.

Yan Zeyan didn't say much, just said: "You are a very busy person now, with a lot of things to do every day. It's great that you can take time to come back and visit."

"Don't be so polite. I just want to go to the fields to take a look. How about you lead the way?"

Yang Feng asked.

Yan Zeyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you downstairs for a walk."

He was actually wearing a very ordinary farmer's loose clothes at this time.

Although the weather is cold now, since we are in the south, there is plenty of sunshine.

Even though it’s the end of the year, it’s still not particularly cold.

Yan Zeyan rolled up his trouser legs and walked towards the ridge of the field.

Yang Feng and Zhao Zhuwei followed behind.

The beautiful fields have been maintained and the ridges are very easy to walk on, just like a small path.

Yang Feng looked around and found that this place was indeed very beautiful.

"It looks like they're still growing something here? I see a lot of the fields are well maintained."

Yang Feng asked Yan Zeyan.

Yan Zeyan nodded and said, "Yes, this field is planted with some ornamental crops, some are astragalus and the like, some are vegetables, and the rest are some new varieties."

"For viewing?"

"Well, the main reason is that it grows fast, and can easily bloom and bear fruit in the winter and survive until the spring of the following year."

Yan Zeyan continued, "It would be a pity if this field remained vacant after the harvest in the fall, and it would also affect the appearance. We are going to develop a scenic spot here."

"I see."

"My initial plan is to plant two crops of rice during the season suitable for planting rice, and then plant these ornamental plants during the winter."

Yan Zeyan said.

Yang Feng listened, thinking, and said: "But if I remember correctly, the fertility of the land is limited, right? Especially we can't plant continuously like this, otherwise we will need too much fertilizer, and it will easily damage the soil."

"Hey, you've studied it."

Yan Zeyan laughed and said, "You are right. The things we planted in winter are not actually used as cash crops. In the spring of next year, all of these things will be used as fertilizer. This will increase the fertility of the land and will not harm the land."

"I see. This way, we can really protect the fields."

"You know, in many places they actually practice rotational farming. After planting, the land is left idle for a while to recover. We can currently provide some fertility feedback in this way, but we cannot over-exploit it."

Yan Zeyan explained to Yang Feng.

When he talked about this time, he was particularly excited, with a gleam in his eyes.

It can be seen that Yan Zeyan really likes this career.

And Yang Feng also understood that he had chosen the right person.

While the two were talking, Zhao Zhuwei ran to the canal beside the ridge of the field, looked at some small marks on it, and said curiously: "Hey, it seems that there are many depressions in the fields here."

"You mean that? I had it modified like this on purpose."

Yan Zeyan mentioned this and said proudly: "This field has actually undergone a lot of transformation. It is not only for farming, but also for the growth of field crabs."

"Field crab?"

"Yes, a new species of field crab. You should remember that we used to catch crabs when we were young, right? Especially crabs in the fields."

Yan Zeyan asked.

Yang Feng recalled and said with emotion: "How can I not remember it? At that time, I often went to the creek and the fields to catch crabs. Sometimes my family would mobilize me to go there. Some crabs would even eat rice. It was quite a headache at that time."

"Actually, this is similar, but the species of this field crab is a little different from those."

Yan Zeyan continued, "This is a species that was just cultivated a while ago. It is also native, but the advantage is that it is not like the field crabs we had before, which are too easy to destroy rice crops."

"So, you are growing rice and also raising crabs?"

"Yes, field crabs can coexist with rice, especially when the rice grows a little bigger, which allows field crabs to survive and grow better."

Yan Zeyan continued, "Moreover, the feces of this species of field crab can be used as a very good nutrient. We can even reduce the input of fertilizers, and increase a lot of income during the harvest."

"So how long do you mainly farm field crabs?"

"In a year, we will use special methods to connect to the streams outside, mainly to ensure the natural ecology of field crabs. For example, they need to go outside the stream to lay eggs, and we will also specially prepare a place for these field crabs to spend some of their free time."

Yan Zeyan continued, "We have harvested the rice, and many field crabs have not grown up yet, so we need to go somewhere with food for the time being."

"I see."

Yang Feng nodded to show that he understood.

At this moment, Zhao Zhuwei indeed found many crabs in a nearby ridge.

"Yang Feng, look! There are so many crabs here!!!"

She was as excited as a child and excitedly grabbed two with her hands.

However, these crabs have not yet fully grown, and you can tell that they are not particularly big.

"We still need to be patient. If it is not big enough, it will never be put on the market. This not only makes things more valuable, but also ensures quality."

Yan Zeyan explained to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, let's not take advantage of the scarcity of things today. I'll take these crabs away and have a meal at your house later."

"Haha, of course no problem, it's a good opportunity for you to see my son."

"Oh my god, you already have a son?"

Yang Feng looked at him in surprise.

When Yan Zeyan talked about this, he scratched his head shyly, and said with a wry smile: "It's not even a full month yet, Yonglan is taking care of it at home."

"I say you are so unkind. You gave birth to a child without making a sound?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Yan Zeyan felt even more embarrassed.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Yang Feng before.

But at that time, Yang Feng was in Chu Village, which could be said to be in another world.

Even if Yan Zeyan wanted to speak, Yang Feng couldn't hear him.

Later, Yan Zeyan felt that Yang Feng was too slow, so he simply stopped calling him.

Yang Feng was quite happy and said, "Let's go, don't look at these fields anymore, go see your son first."
