Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 441
"Tianwang, are you here?" Luo Changqing immediately greeted Luo Tianwang warmly when he saw Luo Tianwang.

"Uncle Changqing, I'm here to discuss something with you." Luo Tianwang said.

"Stupid thing? Just say it." Luo Changqing asked.

"Most of the fields in our village are deserted. It's a pity. Isn't my family engaged in a vegetable chain store? I just want to gather all the fields in our village and transform them a little. They can be used to grow rice or vegetables. Good. Now the labor cost is too high, and there is no way to farm unless it is transformed into a mechanical farm." Luo Tianwang said.

"That's the reason. It's not like no one has thought about it. Now it is often reported in the news that all the fields in some places have been transferred to some contractors. They often use tens of thousands of acres of rice fields. In our village, there is no farmland at all. What is it? But the biggest problem is that other people are plains, and our half-hills and half-forests, it is too expensive to transform them into machine-plowed fields. It costs a lot of money to build roads. There is a way to do it. You have to think about it, if you invest a lot, you might not make any money at all." Luo Changqing knew that the transformation of machine farming is a big investment.

"Of course I've thought about it. When I go back to the village, I just want our village to take a new path. Most of the fields in our village are barren. If this continues, the whole village will be barren." Luo Tianwang said.

Luo Changqing lit a cigarette: "Sooner or later, the village will be deserted. The population of our village reached more than 1000 at the time. Now there are nearly 1000 people in the village. But the maximum number of people living in the village is 300 .Most of them are old people, and there are some children. Moreover, now you can enjoy compulsory education in the city, and many people who go out to work bring their children. In the future, there will only be old people left in the village.”

"However, if the land in our entire Shuikoumiao Town can be fully utilized to develop industries, combined with the green mountains and green waters of our Shuikoumiao Town, the situation will be different. There are more opportunities at our doorstep, and young people will choose to come back. Start a business. With more people, this village will not be deserted." Luo Tianwang said.

"You young people have a lot of ideas. Why? This time, you don't really want to plant a few acres of land at home, but you want to start a career?" Luo Changqing asked.

Luo Tianwang chuckled: "Before I came back, I really only wanted to plant one or two acres of fields, a few acres of vegetable fields, and live in peace and security. No more, staying in Hemawan doesn't have that kind of feeling anymore."

"That's not true. The number of elderly people in the village is slowly decreasing now. In ten or eight years, I'm afraid this village will be deserted." Luo Changqing sighed.Which group in the distance is still singing dirges, and I don't know which one is doing the funeral.

"I'm going to take this matter slowly. Let's start a pilot project in the village to see how it works best. After the pilot project is successful, we can try it on a larger scale," Luo Tianwang said.

"Tianwang, if you really want to do it, you have to do it as soon as possible. There are quite a few people who are interested in these farmlands. If you start late, you may be attacked first." Luo Changqing reminded.

Luo Tianwang was not worried: "It's okay. If someone did this in advance, it would save me trouble."

Luo Tianwang ran outside for a while, and when he returned home, Li Shishi had already tidied up the house.And went into the kitchen, frowning and thinking about how to make breakfast.

"Are you hungry? You can't control this firewood room. Let me do it. We have to build a liquefied gas kitchen some other day." Luo Tianwang hurried over and took the firewood from Li Shishi.

Luo Tianwang was like performing a magic trick, and immediately made the fire in the stove blaze.While lighting the fire, he said to Li Shishi: "Just now I went to the village party secretary's house and discussed with him about the transformation of the machine-plowed fields. I am going to try to transform a few acres of paddy fields into machine-plowed fields to accumulate experience and do something for the construction of the farm. Prepare."

Li Shishi was a little surprised: "Aren't you planning to live a quiet life? Why do you want to do this again?"

"Shishi, have you noticed that Hemawan is a little different from the last time you came here?" Luo Tianwang asked.

Li Shishi nodded: "It's too quiet, it's a little scary. It's broad daylight, and there's no sound outside. This kind of quiet makes me feel a little scared. Maybe I haven't adapted to the current situation in the countryside."

Luo Tianwang shook his head: "You're right. Hemawan is too quiet now, because the number of people here is getting smaller every year. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, this place will become an empty village."

"You want to revitalize Hemawan? This is not an easy task. It is a general trend for young people to run to the city now, and there is no way to stop it alone." Li Shishi shook her head.

"It depends on human effort. There will always be a way." Luo Tianwang said.

"No matter what, I will support you." Li Shishi said.

For breakfast this day, Luo Tianwang ordered two bowls of rice noodles.One person added two eggs.When the villagers came over yesterday, they brought some eggs over.The rice noodles are also processed by the villagers themselves without decolorization.Although the color is not particularly white, but the taste is pure.In the rice, some chili sauce made by the villagers was mixed, and some chopped green onions were added.Although the appearance is not as good as the rice noodles in the shops in the city, the taste is authentic and full of taste.

"It's still delicious from the countryside!" Li Shishi drank all the soup in the bowl, and then patted her stomach lightly.

"You just eat it fresh and think it's delicious. When you eat a lot, you won't feel that way anymore." Luo Tianwang said.

"No, I won't get tired of eating such delicacies every day." Li Shishi said.

"Well, from now on, I'll let you eat whatever you want. I'll make it so delicious for you." Luo Tianwang laughed.

"Thank you." Li Shishi smiled and said with happiness on her face, "I feel that my life is very stable now. Actually, when I came here, I was still a little afraid that one day I would regret it. But now I think my choice is right. .In fact, life is so short, chasing everything that can never reach the limit will be very tiring. Instead, you will forget the true meaning of life. In fact, people don’t need so much. Why do you live so tired?”

Luo Tianwang nodded: "Many people understand this truth. However, people are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves."

"What are we doing today?" Li Shishi asked.

"I'll take you to see our pond during the day. I don't know if there are any loaches in it." Luo Tianwang said with some worry.

There are a lot of people using electricity to fish in the countryside. When he was at home, some people came over to fish secretly. Now that he has been out for so many years, I am afraid that the pond has been electrified many times by others.Electric fishing is extremely harmful. After electric fishing, all the loaches and eels in the fields, large and small, were wiped out.Fish species in many waters have been driven to extinction by electro-fishing.The loach in the paddy field is also almost extinct.

The trees around the pond are lush and lush, and the bayberry tree beside the pond is already very tall. The huge tree crown almost covers the entire pond like a huge umbrella.Several hairy peach trees are also very verdant, and their trunks are two or three times larger than ordinary peach trees.

The water in the pond was as green as jade, as soon as Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi approached the pond, loaches would swim out of the pond and jump in the water non-stop.Luo Tianwang could feel their joy.

"Wow! These loaches are so cute!" Li Shishi exclaimed.

Luo Tianwang stretched his hand into the pond, and immediately countless loaches gathered over.The pond is full of loaches.

"There are so many loaches!" Li Shishi squatted down in surprise, and also put her hand into the pond.

When those loaches passed by Li Shishi's hand, they would touch them, but they quickly left and swam towards Luo Tianwang's hand.Luo Tianwang seemed to have a large group of loaches stuck to his hands.Wherever Luo Tianwang's hands went, they would follow them.

"Why do they like you so much?" Li Shishi asked a little sourly.

"Who told me that everyone loves me, and flowers bloom when I see flowers?" Luo Tianwang laughed.

"Smelly." Li Shishi pursed her lips.

"I plan to expand this pond and turn it into a fish pond. In this way, more loaches can be raised in it. In the future, they can be used as seedlings and placed in rice fields. In fields with more loaches, the soil will be looser and more fertile. In this way, we can spend less." Luo Tianwang said.

"Well," Li Shishi knew nothing about farming.

Luo Tianwang put nearly a catty of loach into the basin and used it as a delicacy in Chinese food.The meat quality of the loach in this pond is much stronger than that of ordinary wild loach.

Luo Tianwang was a little puzzled: there are so many loaches in this pond, why haven't they been targeted by those people in the village who fish with electricity?

There is no network signal at home, and the mobile phone signal is not very good, so it is difficult to connect to the network.The mobile phones of the two people are basically not with them.Without a mobile phone, it is easier to discover many interesting things.The fun you get from it is more than that from your mobile phone.

The two climbed to the top of the mountain overlooking Hema Bay.Or look at the white clouds in the sky, or listen to the singing of birds in the mountains, or close your eyes and feel the breeze on your face.How can this kind of freedom and joy be appreciated by people on the go?
Back home, two people cook, one chooses vegetables; or one makes a fire, and the other sits quietly by the side, watching the flame flickering in the stove.

To make loach, you can't heat the pot first, but put the loach into the cold pot first, and then cover it.Rapid fire heating, then there will be a ping-pong-pong sound in the pot.After the noise subsides, open the lid and pour rapeseed oil along the side of the pot.Deep-fry the loach, then add chili and stir-fry until the aroma is just right, add some seasonings, and a delicious dish is ready.It's cruel to cook like this, but that's the way of the world.If it is fish, it must pass through Daozu.
