his dragon [farming]

After the snake was thrown into the yard, Shen Baocheng took time out every day to tidy up the house.

He sealed all the cracks in the wall and the threshold, and added a heavy bolt to the courtyard door. Later, he probably repaired it, and built a hut next to the kitchen. It took only half a day to build it, scraping the ground. Usually Qiuhe went in and took a look, and it turned out to be a bathroom.

In addition, the dishes cooked by Shen Baocheng are still unpalatable, but the situation of Qiuhe's picky eaters has improved, because if you don't eat, you will be hungry, and there will be no more fruit snacks in the refrigerator to satisfy your hunger, so you have to wait patiently Only one meal is worth eating.

He has no money to buy anywhere. In the grocery store in the town, there are very few varieties of snacks, and the sources are unknown. They are filled with all kinds of "Kang Shuaifu" instant noodles and "Meng's Niu" milk.Qiu He couldn't do such a thing as being poisoned because of greed.

Qiuhe heard from her grandfather that there are fairs in the town at the beginning and middle of every month, and people who sell local specialties, meat, and handicrafts gather in the town, which is very lively.He secretly looked forward to this market for a long time, and finally waited for this day.

That day he ate early and went to the market with Shen Baocheng.Beside the road leading to the town, there are small stalls lined up dozens of meters away, sitting or standing.Qiu He came here on a whim, looked at each of them one by one, and after reading it, he put down his face and didn't want to talk to anyone.

What, it's just a small vegetable market.

Shen Baocheng was very excited, he greeted and chatted with people while shopping, and when Qiu He went back, he saw him carrying several things, two live chickens, a bag of strangely shaped fruits, and half a bag of shiitake mushrooms.He handed the bag of fruits to Qiu He and said, "Eat a crutch, this is the first batch of this year."

The so-called jujube is completely different from jujube. It looks like a branch, with a layer of rough skin peeled off, and the pulp inside is a bit sweet.

Qiu He hung out with his grandfather while eating jujubes.Shen Baocheng knew almost everyone here, and he often talked about it endlessly, from the health of the people in the house to how many piglets the pigs in the pen had given birth to.Whenever someone asked him who the little brother next to him was, he would pull Qiuhe over and introduce him, and usually he would get countless compliments.

"What a beautiful child! He looks better than his mother when she was a child! You look polite and sensible, old Shen, you will enjoy the blessings in the future!" The person who praised him had a sincere expression and a warm tone.

"What a blessing!" Shen Baocheng often retorted disapprovingly, but his expression couldn't hide his complacency, "Being obedient is obedient and hardworking! It's just that you are not strong enough, and you can't do anything if you don't care about bones and tender flesh!"

After a few laps, Qiuhe understood why people who own dogs often take them out for a walk—because they can be praised by others.It seems that grandpa came here for a walk today.

After walking Qiuhe, buying vegetables, and returning home at noon that day, Shen Baocheng killed the chicken and made stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms.Qiu He couldn't believe his grandfather's cooking skills, so he decided to cook the dishes himself.

Wearing a mask and a smock, he sneaked into the kitchen in strict attire, methodically chopped onions and mashed garlic, first stir-fried the chicken until the oil was almost cooked, then added shiitake mushrooms, and finally put onions, and the room was full before the pot started The aroma whets the appetite.

Shen Baocheng was helping to deliver the firewood under the stove, seeing Qiuhe's hands and feet neatly, busy but not chaotic, his mood was very complicated.After getting on the table, he asked lightly, "You cook at home?"

While picking up a piece of chicken for her grandfather, Qiuhe replied: "My mother doesn't have time to cook. I used to hire a domestic worker. I don't think it tastes good, so sometimes I learn to cook it myself. ——I can't do a kitchen knife, and the taste is not bad." Is it done?"

This made Shen Baocheng feel better, tasted two chopsticks, and praised: "It's not bad! The craftsmanship is better than grandpa!"

"Really?" Qiu He tasted it, and was also very proud, "However, your chicken and shiitake mushrooms are also very good, and they are delicious when cooked casually."

"Liangshi Town has good water and soil, so it can support people!" Shen Baocheng picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms soaked in soup, and said, "Just say that the mushrooms are freshly picked in the woods, and the taste is better than the ones grown! This chicken is free-range raised by farmers. Yes, how can the chickens fed with the feed compare? Not to mention anything else, just these two things, you can’t buy them in the city if you want to!”

Qiuhe's heart suddenly moved, he thought, why not set up a farm in Liangshi Town?

People from the city come here on weekends to pick mushrooms, pick wild fruits, travel in mountains and rivers, and eat farm-style meals. A nearby area can also be opened up for rock climbing, and even some restaurants and hotels integrating leisure and entertainment can be built, isn’t it? A good way out?

The more Qiu He thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was promising. After eating hastily, he rushed to the computer with enthusiasm.

He checked the scale and business content of various farms on the Internet, and spent another two hours writing a rough plan on paper, and named the imaginary farm Baichuan Villa.In the end, he took a few pages of paper and ran to find Lin Baichuan excitedly.

Bai Chuan sat in the small courtyard of his house, and after listening to Qiu He's impassioned speech, he only said two words: "No!"

Qiu He was splashed with cold water by the head, and was very resentful, "Tell me what's wrong with it." He sat down opposite Bai Chuan, "I think it's very practical! You see, the air here is fresh, there are mountains and water , the products are rich, and these conditions can be fully utilized——do you have no start-up funds? I can contact my mother, she is a local..."

"It's not this question!" This time, Bai Chuan interrupted him categorically.

Qiu He looked at Bai Chuan, waiting for him to explain why he couldn't do it, but Bai Chuan stopped and lowered his head.

Qiu He got a little angry, pushed him, and said, "I'm discussing with you! Look up at me! Don't you want to make life better for yourself and the people in Liangshi Town?"

Bai Chuan raised his head and saw the face of Qiu He who was close at hand. The young man's face was clean and delicate, and under the fluttering eyelashes, his eyes were very sincere.

He stammered, "I think that's fine."

"How's it going? You see, rich dad has a cataract and there's no money to treat it!" Qiu He looked at him with a look of hatred.

Bai Chuan thought, he really wanted to do something for the depressed town, but he didn't know what consequences this would bring.He struggled and struggled in his heart, and finally said: "I don't want people from the city to come here."

"why?"

"They're... greedy. Once they eat a piece of shiitake, they want more. They want to eat the trees on the mountain, the birds in the sky, the fish in the water, and finally, they will eat the whole mountain in their stomachs. .”

Qiuhe's mouth opened into an O shape, he thought in a daze, why can't I even understand human speech?

"Then," Qiu He swallowed hard, "In your eyes, am I also this kind of person?"

Bai Chuan lowered his head again, as if a little shy, "You are different, you are friends."

"But I also grew up in the city," Qiu He said, "So you are prejudiced against city people."

"I can't take risks," Bai Chuan raised his head and said, "This is my home, and I don't want to attract people with ulterior motives."

Qiu He had nothing to say, he could tell that Bai Chuan became stubborn, and made no compromises with his grandfather.But in the end, he still tried hard to persuade him: "Or we can also consider attracting some people who love hiking in the wild. These people are not too many and will not disturb the cleanliness of Liangshi Town. We can provide board, lodging and guides..." Qiuhe handed over the few pieces of paper in his hand and said, "This is just a preliminary idea. We can continue to revise and improve it. I put the plan here, so you can take a look."

Bai Chuan was noncommittal, and Qiu He was also very frustrated seeing his indifferent appearance, so he left and went home resentfully.

Walking on the road, he felt that he was really telling dogs and mice to meddle in their own business.Lin Baichuan has no money to spend and no food to eat, so what does it matter to him, Shen Qiuhe?What kind of heart is he worrying about, and what kind of anxiety is he doing?

But he immediately thought of Bai Chuan's ambiguous words, and a big doubt arose in his heart. Could it be that Bai Chuan had some hidden secrets that were inconvenient to reveal to him?

Qiu He remembered what happened that morning again.When he wanted to find reporters to come to the town, Bai Chuan and his grandfather were obviously a little panicked. They seemed to reject outsiders. Why?

When Qiuhe got home, he found that there were several people in the yard, busy installing solar water heaters.Hua Niangniang's husband, Shi Laoliu, was also there. He led a hot water pipe into the kitchen clangingly, and said, "How wonderful! Washing vegetables in winter doesn't make your hands stiff, and it's very comfortable! I've long wanted to give I installed one at home, but Zhang Jinhua insisted on not agreeing, and was reluctant to give up the money! He said he would save up for the eldest son’s wedding. I’ll let her go! It’s cold or not!”

Qiuhe hurried into the room, took the money from the bag and gave it to Shi Laoliu, Shi Laoliu waved his hand and smiled at him, "Your grandfather gave the money to you a long time ago, you save the money and save it to marry a wife!"

Qiu He felt that he had caused a lot of trouble to Grandpa.He knew that Shen Lin had sent money to Shen Baocheng in the past few years after her economic situation improved, but Shen Baocheng returned it as it was.A water heater costs several thousand yuan. If it weren't for the fact that I live here, my grandfather would never install it, because it might cost him half of his life savings.

That night, Qiu He taught her grandfather how to use the water heater, and took the cleanest bath since she came to Liangshi Town.He had never thought of taking a shower as a luxury before, but now, standing under the shower head, surrounded by hot water and steam, could be called bliss.At the same time, he once again deeply realized that money may not be able to make people live a comfortable life, but if you want to live a comfortable life, you must not have money.

Qiuhe thought about the farm again.He thought that he still had to persuade Bai Chuan to take action as soon as possible. It would be great if every family here could live a comfortable life.
