After dismissing the three fishermen, Romon highly praised his big dogs and puppies, and promised to give them extra meals, each with a pot of buffalo milk to soak steel beans.

"Luo Meng, how is your land on the mountain?" the village chief Luo Quanshun asked Luo Meng.

"It's okay, isn't there still a stream, and it won't work for a while." Luo Meng smiled, knowing that the village head was worried about his two sons. There was no water source on the small slope. The pipes were pulled down from the mountain. Now that the weather is dry, the land his eldest son Luo Hanrong planted, and the pigs raised by his second son Luo Hanliang will all become problems.

"Oh, you're still far-sighted, kid. You didn't save that much money and picked a good piece of land." Luo Quanshun sighed.

"Who would have thought that our land has not experienced a drought for so many years?" Romon also sympathized with their experience, how terrible it must be to encounter such a thing.

"I heard that you are still raising grouper?" Luo Quanshun asked again.

"Hey, I'm tossing around, I don't know if it will work yet." Romon laughed.

"How can you think about it? You have to work hard! Now so many young people in our village come back to work, which is a good thing. But when the times are not good, you can't lose the chain. If the two do well, they will see hope." Luo Quanshun said to Luo Meng earnestly.

"I've appointed you to do it well! Uncle, don't think too much, young people have their own ideas." Luo Meng knew that Luo Quanshun was afraid that the heat in their village, which was so easy to flourish, would be extinguished by natural disasters. But young people like them who have been tempered in society, how can they give up so easily?

When Luo Meng went back, he happened to meet Luo Hanrong pumping water by the creek, so he stopped the three-way car and said a few words to him. "How are you doing? I think the village head is very annoying."

"Hey, my dad is just worrying about it." A kettle in the truck was filled with water, and Luo Hanrong put the pipe into another kettle: "I told him everything, and now our family has paid off the loan. Besides, there are still so many pigs raised in Hanliang, even if the crops are all dead, as long as I keep those pigs, my restaurant will not be successful."

"That's the reason." Romon nodded.

"Old man, I can't talk to them, but I feel so bad for those crops that I can't eat or sleep. I said it's worth worrying about it? They just can't listen. By the way, I heard that you are going to raise that rock. Grouper?" It seems that the news that Romon wants to raise grouper should have spread in the village.

"That's right, the fish is very small, so be careful when you pump the water backwards." Romon said.

"Don't worry, look, it's covered with gauze, it won't harm your fish." Luo Hanrong pointed to the water inlet at one end of the water pump, then smiled and said to Luo Meng: "I don't dare now The idea of ​​playing with that grouper, our grade is low, I just think about it, wait for the small river prawn in your reservoir to grow in two months, can you supply me with some goods?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. Xiao Shulin has the final say on the matter of this reservoir. I'll talk to him when I get back later." As long as the price is right, whoever sells it doesn't matter. "Just in the afternoon, I'm going to get some sweet potato vines to come down. You guys have time to come and ship them later."

Although sweet potatoes are a good thing to grow, they cannot be harvested after they are planted. Fertilization must be fertilized, and weeding must be weeded. In particular, we must pay attention to those sweet potato vines. Don't let those aerial roots take root in the soil, otherwise when they produce small sweet potatoes, it will be a wonderful harvest in autumn, nest after nest, there are small sweet potatoes everywhere in the Longshang ditch, and it is hard to find a few big ones .

"That's a good relationship. Yesterday, our two brothers also said that the pigs he raised so smoothly, and there were no diseases or disasters. It is really thanks to the blessing of the Bull King. When he feeds the piglets next time, I will give you more." Enter a few."

When Luo Hanrong first came back, he heard the elders in the village say that Erlang was a god, and he felt a little disapproving, but after a long time, he couldn't help but believe in evil. It's obvious, he used Luo Meng's family Cow dung is not the same as the crops grown from the cow dung that is not used. If it is not related to the cow king, who else is it?

"Let's talk about it later. It's not easy for you now. Recently, there are a lot of cucumbers on my mountain. I originally planned to dry cucumber sticks. Do you want it? I think this year's weather will not dry cucumber sticks. It's not worthwhile."

People in a village have to have a long-lasting relationship. Besides, although Luo Hanrong is a little shrewd, he is not the kind of slut who just goes in and out, and he can still communicate.Just looking at how he treats his brothers, Romon thinks he is a good person. Some people are mean to their own family, but they like to pretend to be generous and good when they go out. Romon doesn't like that.

"Hahaha! That's a good relationship. When I go to transport the tofu tomorrow morning, you can give it to me together. It's not a problem for my shop to consume two to three hundred catties a day." Hearing that Luo Meng offered to provide food for him, Luo Han Rong was very happy. The vegetables grown in Dawan Village were good, but no one was as good as the ones grown by Luo Meng's family.

"Okay, I'll go back and say hello to them later, and I'll prepare three hundred catties for you." Three hundred catties of cucumbers a day is nothing more than a drizzle for such a big Niuwangzhuang.

After talking with Luo Hanrong, Luo Meng saw that it was past ten o'clock, so he called his big dog and puppy to go back to eat first.Recently, at this time every day, Luo Hanrong has to pull water from the creek a few times. While he is here, Luo Meng can call his dogs to go back and rest for a while, and wait for lunch Come again.

Back in the courtyard, Luo Meng got some pots of steel beans soaked in buffalo milk for these puppies as agreed, and the big dogs and puppies ate their tails like fans.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin were nailing bamboo rafts under the big tree outside the courtyard. Li Hailiang called him and said that two of his pigeon fanciers had arrived and asked Luo Meng to go over. Xiao Shulin He wanted to stay here to work, so he let Romon go by himself.

The reservoir Xiao Shulinbao is located in a valley in a ravine, and there is no good road on both sides of the reservoir, so it is inconvenient to cast bait every time, but since there is a water area, there is no need to bother to build a special road , nail a bamboo raft, the entire reservoir is a ready-made waterway.

Romon drove up to the blacksmith shop and saw a truck parked outside the yard under the shade of a tree. There was no cover on the truck at the moment, and a cage of homing pigeons could be seen. The number was not many, probably dozens right look.

"This is Romon, right? Hello, hello, my surname is Qi." In the yard, Li Hailiang and his wife were talking to two unfamiliar men, an old man and a young man. The old man came over when he saw Luo Meng driving into the yard. Greeted him.

"Hey, hello, hello." Romon smiled.

"We have known Xiao Li and his wife for a while, and we all know that they raise pigeons well. They also said that because of the good environment here, they want to come and take a look. If the environment here is really suitable for raising pigeons, we will Maybe I will live here for a long time." Old Man Qi said to Romon.

"Then welcome! If you can raise the pigeons well, I, as a landlord, will have a bright face." Luo Meng and him were polite.

"Hey, those of us who raise pigeons are very troublesome. We don't dare to move easily. If it is not done well, the loss will be great. Old pigeons love their homes and love to fly back. Just lock them up and let them lay eggs and hatch babies. Sometimes I really don't want to part with it..." said old man Qi.

"That's right, then you should live with me first, and do some research first. You can also sign the rental contract for one month or three months first." Even if Luo Meng is short of money, he will not insist on this, let alone He had been selling vegetables for a while, plus other income from Niuwang Village, he was not short of money now, and it didn't cost much to buy those grouper fry a few days ago.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. If we live here for a long time in the future, we can discuss any problems we encounter, right?" Renting a house is most likely to meet a picky and hard-to-talk landlord, let alone They raise pigeons and cannot move easily, so they should be more cautious.

"Don't worry, I still have a few houses left here. You can see which one is suitable. This is your grandson, right? In the future, you two will live with me. If anyone has any difficulties, you can help each other. Let's help each other more." Looking at the young man in his 20s, Luo Meng thought to himself, the old man's grandson is really good-looking.

"Hey, you must have missed your mark." Old man Qi laughed.

"Why? Isn't he your grandson?" Could it be a son? There must be a difference of four or fifty years between the two of them.

"How can it be? I wish I could have such a promising grandson." Old man Qi said: "This surname is Yan, we call him Xiaoyan, don't look at him young, he is very experienced in raising pigeons, I have also won several important awards. If I hadn’t heard that he was willing to come this time, I wouldn’t dare to take such a big risk, old man. Instead of going around the bush with Luo Meng, he directly introduced this young man surnamed Yan to him.

"You are really young and promising!" Romon praised in a very face-saving way.

"My family's job is still far away." The young man surnamed Yan politely said to Luo Meng, probably because of his frequent participation in competitions and frequent exchanges with fanciers, this young man A person's words and deeds are slightly more mature than his appearance.

"Then you two plan to rent one house? Or rent two houses?" Romon asked them.

"Two rooms, we don't mind, these pigeons can't be crowded." Old man Qi said.

"Then I'll show you the house first." Romon said as he took out the key and opened the remaining empty rooms one by one.

The old and the young entered the house and went straight to the backyard. After looking around for a while, they each chose a small house and a big house, both with trees in the backyard.

The old man Qi chose a hut next to Li Hailiang's house. The old man lives alone, and a hut is enough. The old man only raised pigeons after retirement. To get some income, but he still does it as a hobby after all, and he doesn't raise many pigeons in total.

The young man surnamed Yan chose a big house, mainly for future planning. Their family has a lot of pigeons, and the backyard of the big house is relatively spacious. If he can really develop in this place in the future, he will choose a big house for himself early. You can save one move.

After signing the contract and paying the rent, Luo Meng also registered the ID numbers of the two people as usual, and of course, he also checked their birth dates by the way.

The old man Qi’s full name is Qi Youen. He is 69 this year. The other young man is Yan Yunkai. He is only [-] this year. He is surprisingly young. He looks so mature and stable at such a young age. Do children have higher quality?

After collecting the rent, Romon sat in the yard for a while to learn about the future plans of the two, how many pigeons they planned to raise and so on.

Old man Qi's pigeon flock has been controlled at about [-] or [-] pairs, and he does not plan to expand in the future.Yan Yunkai and his family are all raising pigeons, this time he just brought over twenty pairs to try his hand, and there are quite a few more at home.It is said that they are currently engaged in development, and the environmental damage is very serious. Even the old district where their ancestral home is located is also facing the problem of demolition.

After that, Luo Meng told them about paying the rent. Originally, he planned to rent this place to young people to start a business or the elderly to provide for the elderly. Considering the environmental problems, he did not encourage breeding very much. Li Hailiang told him a few days ago When there was a fancier coming over, Romon began to think about this issue.

"You rent here with me. If a family has less than fifteen pairs of pigeons, I will not charge you any extra fees. If there are more than fifteen pairs, you will give me one for every fifteen pairs a month." Pigeons, use the homing pigeons that you have eliminated, generally just passable."

"If I cultivate the nearby land that I personally contracted, I will be given one pigeon a month for every mu of land, or as I just said, the eliminated carrier pigeons will do."

"Of course, if you farm here, I will provide you with a certain amount of cow dung manure every year. In a dry year like this year, you can also pump water from the reservoir below to irrigate the land. This is the "Blacksmith Tenant" Cultivation and Breeding Agreement, do you have any questions?"
