Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1365, page 1352. A Fool of Scolding
Luo Shaoan followed in Luo Yihang's footsteps.

He picked up a hoe on the side, his movements almost identical: a hoe, a press, a pull, and a pile of potatoes rolled out of the soil with a clatter.

Then the two of them started working in the field.

Not only do they dig potatoes, but they also break up any clumps of soil they encounter.

If it's tangled with grass roots, you can easily break it off with a simple pull.

It wasn't like they used any brute force; it was just something they did instinctively and casually.

Moreover, they don't get mud on themselves while working, and their movements are small and quick, so mud doesn't splash on them.

No wonder he was so clean.

As for the viewers in the live stream... they've been forgotten yet again.

Fortunately, I've gotten used to it. Cat Head's live streams are rarely not a mess.

This could probably be considered a kind of KFC.

Although there was no talking or interaction in the live stream, the only thing on screen was the two people working diligently.

But it's not stuffy at all.

Poor Luo Shaoan... let's ignore that.

The cat-headed boss is pleasing to the eye.

Don't be fooled by his simple camouflage uniform, the kind that middle-aged men in their forties and fifties often wear to work. On him, it looked like a model's outfit, and the potato field resembled a runway.

As expected, fashion is all about looks.

As long as you're as handsome as the readers, you'll look good in anything.

What's more, this is the owner with the cat head.

With the recent big incident involving Cat Head, the owner of Cat Head has already been thoroughly investigated and removed from the list of those involved.

He's not from a farming family; he's a top student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He started his business from a small stall.

The novel "Rebirth: I Started Building an Agricultural Empire by Selling Fried Sichuan Pepper Sprouts at a Stall in Tianhan" has several volumes.

Nobody knows exactly how much money the owner of Cat Head has.

But a simple estimate suggests that the figures range from tens of billions to hundreds of billions.

He'd be ranked at least in the top 100 of the national rich list, or even in the top 50 or 60, and possibly even in the top 10.

He is the only one on the rich list whose main business is agriculture.

The first self-made man under 35, the richest man in the agricultural industry, the leader of the new wealth force—a whole host of titles have been bestowed upon him.

Moreover, the owner of Cat Head has no scandals, except that he likes to keep people in suspense, is bad at naming things, loves to create trouble but always creates bad things, is criticized by his own employees, hangs high on the street lamps morning and night, and is always fighting with people, and the fighting has even spread overseas.

He doesn't spout nonsense about the "996 blessing," doesn't flaunt his wealth, doesn't change girlfriends every two months, and doesn't entangle himself with female or male celebrities.

He had already made it public that he had a girlfriend, who was his childhood sweetheart, and they had been dating for over ten years.

Uh... judging by his age, he's in a relationship too early.

So enviable.

This person was actually doing farm work himself, and it was clear that he wasn't pretending; he genuinely knew how.

You have to take a second look...
-
after an hour.

Luo Yihang and Luo Shaoan finally finished digging up the entire field.

Luo Shaoan straightened up, leaned on the hoe, and twisted his waist a couple of times.

Luo Yihang smiled at him and said, "What, is that not good enough?"

Luo Shaoan immediately stopped twisting and straightened his back. "Boss, you underestimate me. I could dig up two more fields in one go. I just haven't warmed up yet."

"Stubborn." Luo Yihang pointed at him, tilting his head slightly. "Come on, take a break and have some water."

After saying that, he picked up his hoe and walked along the ridge towards the roadside.

Luo Shaoan quickly followed.

Under the shade of a tree on this side of the cement road, there was a stainless steel bucket, and next to it was a stack of rough porcelain bowls.

Old Man Yang just asked the villagers to put it here.

Every few dozen meters along the terraced fields, there is a place where villagers can drink water and rest while working.

Luo Shaoan took two quick steps and lifted the lid of the insulated container.

It contains tea.

Luo Shaoan picked up a water ladle, scooped out two bowls, and handed one bowl to Luo Yihang first.

Luo Yihang took it and took a big bite.

It's not a good tea; it's just local large-leaf tea, brewed very strong, and tastes bitter.

Fortunately, it was very thirst-quenching, and the temperature was just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

You shouldn't drink cold drinks after finishing work on a hot day; drinking cold water can easily damage your lungs.

Luo Shaoan also took a big gulp, then his face contorted, "It's salty."

Luo Yihang laughed and said, "Of course it's salty if you add salt."

"Why add salt? And why make it so concentrated?" Luo Shaoan asked, puzzled.

"Drinking some salt tea after sweating replenishes electrolytes, while strong tea relieves fatigue and refreshes the mind. This is all the wisdom of the working people," Luo Yihang explained.

Then find a place to sit down.

Looking at the bustling harvest scene before him, he sighed softly, "Life is harder for the people here than it is for us back home."

"Why?" Luo Shaoan sat down beside him, picked up the bowl and took a big gulp, then turned his face away, still not used to the taste.

"What kind of water do you drink when you're working at home?" Luo Yihang asked in return.

Luo Shaoan simply put down the porcelain bowl and started counting on his fingers, "Sometimes it's rice water, sometimes it's plain water with a few mint leaves, and in winter it's ginger tea. My dad likes to put Sichuan peppercorns in the tea, yum~~"

Luo Shaoan was also from a farming family and worked in the fields when he was young. These are all common sense facts about life.

“That’s right.” Luo Yihang smiled. “The living habits of each place are determined by the local environment. When we go to the fields, we are used to bringing rice water and ginger tea, which means that we have rice and ginger at home, and we can pick some mint leaves at any time. We don’t put salt in our tea, and the tea is plain tea, so we don’t need to rely on tea to refresh ourselves and replenish electrolytes. It’s different here.”

“Oh, people over there are lazy,” Luo Shaoan immediately replied.

Luo Yihang glanced at him, wondering what kind of thought process this kid had.

"It's because the weather is favorable and the soil is fertile in our area, so farm work isn't as tiring as it is here."

Luo Shaoan immediately chimed in, "So Sister Xiaoyan planted her new variety here? To make this place less tiring."

This kid has become clever again.

"That's only one aspect; the main reason is that Xiaoyan is greedy."

Luo Yihang laughed after he finished speaking...

Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream were treated to a wonderful auditory feast.

First, I listened to the cat-headed boss and the unlucky guy explain a lot of principles from a bowl of thirst-quenching tea.

No wonder he's the first self-made person under 35; look at his insight.

That unlucky guy is so lucky; he gets to be lectured like this by his boss all the time. Won't he take off in a couple of years?

And... [Sister Xiaoyan? Qin Qiuyan? ??? A new variety? ??? Another new variety? So fast? Tell me, what new variety is it?]

This person also has considerable insight.

Unfortunately, the viewers in the live stream who had been ignored for most of the day were finally remembered.

New varieties are immediately overlooked...
-
"By the way, boss, I've come here today with a lot of things I'd like to ask you to tell me."

Luo Shaoan tried to drink another sip of tea, but still couldn't get used to it. When he put down the bowl, he turned around and saw the cameraman still holding the camera.

Hurry up and call them over.

"You already know, why don't you just tell me? Why did you come all this way?" Luo Yihang replied.

"No way." Luo Shaoan waved his hand. "What I say isn't as good as what you say. You should tell everyone." Luo Shaoan's tone was a little coquettish.

But Luo Yihang was disgusted and quickly moved away, "Then where do you suggest we start?"

The viewers in the live stream were having a blast! [Hahaha, poor thing, you got rejected!] [Ugh~~ Disgusting!] [Stay calm, stay calm, close-up shot! Wow, even though the cat-headed boss is sweating, he's not dirty! No pimples or blackheads on his face! What skincare products does he use?]

It seems like something strange has gotten mixed in.

Luo Shaoan had a good idea, "How about we ask everyone questions and you answer them?"

The next second. Boom!
The live stream screen was filled with a dense barrage of questions.

Luo Shaoan was overwhelmed by the choices; there were so many problems that he had no idea which one to choose.

After searching for a long time, I finally chose the question that was asked the most and was also the most interesting.

"Boss, do you really have fluorescent bacteria that can eliminate nuclear radiation?"

As soon as this question was asked, the live stream chat went completely silent.

It's not gone, it's stuck.

No one expected the first question to be so explosive.

Will the cat-headed boss give a direct answer?

The answer is, no.

Luo Yihang waved his hand, "First of all, nuclear radiation cannot be eliminated. We can only absorb the pollution source, which is high-energy dust, together and then process it centrally."

"Secondly, it is not a fluorescent bacterium, but rather an algae that should have an inorganic structure similar to diatoms."

Luo Yihang paused at this point.

The live stream chat erupted in cheers.

Wait, wait, something feels off. Why am I talking about this?

What does that mean? What does that mean? It really exists!!

[They said it's fluorescent bacteria, you said it's algae, or should it be adsorbent? Why do you think their information is inaccurate and want to correct it?]

[It's confirmed! It's confirmed! It really exists! It's a type of algae that absorbs pollutants. It sucks up a whole bunch of pollutants, then you just rub it off and you're done.]

Does such a thing really exist? It seems a bit scary. Are there any similar things?

Salt-tolerant ice plant

Holy crap! Yeah, it really exists!

Luo Shaoan seemed startled as well, and after a moment of stunned silence, he murmured, "Boss, are we studying algae?"

Luo Yihang smiled mysteriously, "We did build an algae laboratory, but we're studying cyanobacteria, the kind that grows a crust of soil under the Super Malan grass."

She then added, "It's a normal research activity, and we've already achieved some results. It's for environmental protection. We haven't researched anything else. Of course, there's nothing I can do if others don't believe us. That's just how it is."

It's better not to say anything at all.

After hearing this, the viewers in the live stream were dumbfounded again.

Does it exist or not?

[It seems like there's something I really want to show off, but I can't say it, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable.]

No, it's for environmental protection. Yes, yes, it is indeed environmentally friendly. That's all.

If you believe it, will you follow along? If you don't believe it, then I'll have it!

That's right, go ahead and guess.

There will be no answer to this question.

Then Luo Shaoan asked a second question.

"Boss, are the more than 10,000 patents we've registered building patent barriers and breaking the hegemony?"

This is a really interesting question.

Is this something that can be said outright?
Luo Yihang's answer was, "Yes!"
"First of all, registering a patent is our legal right. Why can't we register the results of our hard work and effort?

Do you know how much we paid for these patents?

"According to statistics from Tianhan City, since we implemented Breeding 4.0, the obesity rate in Tianhan City has increased by 1.7%, adding a total of more than 68,000 obese people..."

What's the logic behind this? Is there any connection?

Of course there's a connection. Breeding 4.0 costs a lot of money, and cat owners have been making a fortune from it.

[Yeah, eating and drinking to your heart's content during the harvest festival, eating and drinking to your heart's content during the flower sea food festival, and even eating and drinking to your heart's content during a marathon—how can you not gain weight?]

[Tianhan has over 68,000 fat people, but what about the rest of the country? How many fat people have you created nationwide? It's probably more than 680,000.]

Please don't tell me I'm fat, I got fat from eating cat-head candy.

Fried mushrooms are extremely high in calories and are definitely not vegetarian. Two servings a day will add up to two pounds in a month.

Goodness, it's full of condemnation.

That's too much! They've fattened us up so much just to do research.

And pride.

My body fat is proof of my contribution to technological development, and it's definitely not because I'm greedy...

Then Luo Yihang spoke again.

"As for patent barriers, who started them first? I just used the same methods that some people had used on them. Why are you complaining so much? Is it because you don't like them?"

"Don't like it? Some people shouldn't do it. Food is the most important thing for people. If we have to listen to you even when we're eating, and you're protecting our land but not allowing us to grow crops, so that we'll work hard all year and go hungry, is that humane?"

"Bah! Disgusting!"

"Don't you understand what universal values ​​are? Being able to eat your fill, live, and survive are the greatest universal values!"

These words were met with enthusiastic applause, and Luo Shaoan and the people nearby clapped until their hands were red.

That's like having your cards upside down.

Luo Yihang officially responded, stating that his aim is to build patent barriers, break the hegemony, and target "certain individuals."

However, Luo Yihang hadn't finished speaking.

He sneered and mocked, "Feeling uncomfortable? Awkward? If you want to break the so-called Eastern hegemony that some people talk about, then go and study it, go and break it! Didn't you come up with some kind of breeding 5.0? Go ahead and do it."

Why can't it be done?

"Because some people are doing evil and bad things, do you understand?"

“Just and conscientious people will not join you.”

“Talented people can’t get ahead in your area. If they show their talents, they’re eliminated. Even if a few do manage to stand out, they have no say and can’t rise to the top.”

"Only those who embezzle, accept bribes, abuse their power for personal gain, and only know how to flatter are promoted."

"This is because some of you are rotten to the core."

"If you can't do it in the first twenty years, you still can't do it in another hundred years."

It's so good to be scolded, it's really good to be scolded.

It's as refreshing as taking the first sip of an ice-cold Coke after spending two hours outside in the scorching August sun and returning to an air-conditioned room.

Luo Shaoan's palm was almost swollen from slapping.

Luo Yihang quickly pressed him down to stop him from getting really swollen.

Subsequently.

Luo Yihang stopped being sarcastic and mocking.

He looked solemnly at the camera.

Pointing to himself.

"I am not a good person in the strict sense. Everything is constantly changing, and the dragon slayer may become the dragon himself."

"The turmoil, famine, and plague in the world today are largely caused by certain interest groups; it is their evil deeds."

"But decades later, I could very well be the one doing the evil."

"I have no intention of monopolizing or controlling other countries with food."

"But that doesn't mean I won't in the future."

"Therefore, I propose that legislation be enacted worldwide to stipulate that the natural environment, climate, genes, growth and changes of plants and animals belong to all humankind and no one should be allowed to own them."

"Substances existing in nature cannot be patented."

"This is the ideal of us Chinese people, and it should also be the ideal of the whole world—building a community with a shared future for mankind."

Luo Yihang flipped the table over.

I don't want this hegemony, and no one else is allowed to have it!
