silent farm

Chapter 79

Because of Li Sheng's warning just now, Blanca did not continue to challenge his bottom line, which is not what a professional media person should do.

She turned to ask a question that was more to Li Sheng's taste: "According to the news we got, that piece of land has already been developed. Can you tell me about the newly developed land? How do you plan to use this newly developed land? "

This question is like an advertisement for Silent Farm.Li Sheng is very happy to answer such questions.

"About 25% of the flat area is used for arable land, mainly wheat, soybeans and corn, as well as peanuts and other cash crops. The hilly area is planted with tea trees, fruit trees, coffee, cocoa and grapes. By the way, there are about 25% of the land. % of Brazil chestnut groves.”

"Slices of Brazil nuts?"

Brazilian chestnut is a specialty of Brazil, which is a nut rich in oil and protein.The value is quite high.And no one has ever planted it artificially before.Blanca would of course show a corresponding interest in this.

"Yes. Because my staff said that Brazil nuts are a good cash crop. But they are too scattered in the rainforest. So I am going to group them together."

"Sounds like a good idea."

At this time, the car stopped, and it turned out that it had arrived at the place.

After getting off the car, Blanca didn't continue to ask questions, because several other high-level officials of the farm also came out.Li Sheng first introduced them.

Chaxi, who followed Anthony, saw the stranger without his usual skin, quietly walked up to Li Sheng, grabbed his pants and pulled him: "Li, who is she?"

"This is Blanca, a show anchor."

"What is an anchor?"

"It's the one talking on TV." Li Sheng didn't know how to explain it to her, so he hugged her and talked nonsense.

Blanca's eyes lit up when he saw Chashi.Judging from the yellow complexion and black eyes of this little girl, this is obviously an indigenous person.And this aborigine was so familiar with Li Sheng, she immediately realized that there might be some inside story: "Wouldn't Li introduce this cute little girl?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "This is Chaxi, Anthony's daughter. She is the baby of our farm."

"Hi Chahi. I'm Blanca." Blanca held out her hand.

At this time, Chaxi acted like a well-behaved little girl, reaching out to greet her.

Li Sheng put her down and said, "I'm busy now, can Chaxi go play?"

Chahi nodded, and ran behind Anthony.

Li Sheng brought Blanca and his party to the wooden villa.

A group of people entered the living room, and Blanca saw a beautiful mixed race sitting on the sofa watching TV.Before coming to Silent Farm, she collected some information about Silent Farm and the subject of this interview, Li Sheng.

This girl has appeared in the media, although she looks like a mixed race.This beautiful aboriginal girl, like a forest elf, is very different from other aboriginal tribal girls in appearance.

But she knew that the girl was indeed one of the newly discovered native tribesmen.And the appearance of this indigenous tribe was an important reason why she decided to do an exclusive interview for Li Sheng.

Li Sheng did not introduce them to each other, but said to Blanca: "This is Tia, a child who just came out of the indigenous tribe. She is learning Latin, but the time is too short and she can only understand a few short sentences. word."

He did not introduce the two.Blanca still introduced herself, and she found that Tia just nodded and didn't speak.

Then Li Sheng brought a group of people to the study, ready to start a formal interview.

The two sat face to face in a place in the study where the furnishings were more appropriate.While talking gossip, while waiting for the photographer to install and debug the camera.

When the photographer prompts that it is done.Blanca asked Li Sheng if he could start.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I'm ready. But don't we need to be more serious? You know, this is my first interview."

"You can let your sense of humor go. In fact, our audience prefers funny guests," Blanca said with a laugh.

Then, they started the real questioning session: "Lee, we have actually been paying attention to Silent Farm for quite some time. We noticed that Silent Farm has a very good relationship with the village of Aurihimina on the Mapuela River. "

"Yes, we are neighbors, so we should help?"

"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

Just because it's a neighbor?It was too restrictive, and Blanca wasn't very happy with his answer.She, Li Sheng, replied that she could be offended from a social perspective.So she continued to smile and lead the question.

Li Sheng briefly told the stories of Silent Farm and Aurihimina Village, and finally added: "Now some of their villagers are also working on the farm."

Blanca caught a bit of Li Sheng's character.His answer just now was not because of being conservative, but because of his character itself.He seems to only see the people and things around him, and his vision is a bit narrow.She had no choice but to direct the interview in the direction she wanted: "Just now you mentioned that Chashi was adopted by Anthony. Is there any story in it?"

"Chahi is an orphan. She lost her last relative two years ago and was adopted by a kind-hearted resident of Olihimina. However, that resident also has several children, and life is relatively difficult. Anthony likes this child, So I decided to adopt Chaxi, and after negotiating with Chaxi's previous adoptive family, I became Chaxi's adoptive father."

"God bless her. Chahi is a lovely girl. She looks very happy though."

Blanca is very pleased with the story.Heartfelt things resonate with viewers, and it fits with the spirit of her show.In terms of society and humanity, Chashi's story seems to be just the story of a child being adopted.But this is where social issues can be extended.For example, the living conditions of the indigenous people and so on.

Li Sheng smiled warmly, with a hint of pampering: "Chaxi is a sensible child. But I think she is also very lonely. After all, there are no other children on the farm, so she has no playmates of the same age. So we all Would like to play with her. But we are adults, we can't really be her playmates, which will be bad for her development. Of course, the situation will change soon, because we decided to build a school on the farm, so that A child from Olihimina comes to school so she can learn and play with her peers."

"We have also noticed the information you announced about hiring teachers. However, we found that the villagers in Aurihimina are very poor, and they may not be able to send their children to school. I have to say that the Silent Farm plan has set a good example. But do you think we need to do more?"

Blanca looked at Li Sheng talking with a smile, and she knew that this was another story.This story can also be extended to the education of indigenous children in the jungle.

"My ability is limited, so I can only provide them with some help within my ability." Li Sheng knew that there was a trap in this topic.Whatever he suggests, it could be led to criticize government inaction.So he avoids the important ones. "As long as they want, their children can come. Because the school will not charge any fees, and breakfast and lunch will be provided. Sooner or later, there will be vehicles and boats to take them to and from the school and the village. I think this is what our Silent Farm can do for the time being. things that arrived."

"I have to say that you are a good person." Blanca praised him. "As far as we know, you also hired several retired doctors to work on the farm. Is there such a thing?"

She found that choosing Silent Farm as the subject of the interview was the right choice.Aboriginal people are mostly Indians.In Brazil, quite a few people are of mixed race with Indian ancestry.

Although Li Sheng's answer is not what she wants to hear the most, she feels that this program can discuss the education and medical care of the aborigines in the jungle, and such discussions can easily resonate with this part of the audience.

"Yes. We are honored to invite eight retired doctors to work on our farm. Each of them will work on the farm for one week every month. They will provide medical services for the workers on the farm and nearby villagers."

Then he described his vision exaggeratedly.

"As long as it is a common disease, we will provide free treatment for nearby villagers. Some farms have no conditions to treat the disease, we can only do some simple treatment and send them to big cities for better treatment. Of course, if they If the economic situation cannot afford the cost of treatment, our farm can also donate as appropriate.”

Blanca already knew Li Sheng's character, and she knew how to lead the conversation.

"Speaking of treatment, the Santarém Public Hospital admitted an aboriginal baby with acute pneumonia that you sent earlier, and the news media also reported it. But I think the audience is still very concerned about the baby's current condition. In addition, The baby is said to be from a previously undiscovered native tribe within the confines of your farm. Can you tell our audience the story?"

Regarding this question, Li Sheng first recalled the grievances between the loggers and that tribe.

Originally, Blanca was planning to bring up this topic in the next question, but Li Sheng unexpectedly brought it up by himself.She took the opportunity to ask: "I also remember this incident. There are indeed many media reports on this incident. How did you see this incident and how do you view this indigenous tribe? How do you plan to get along with them?"

"Actually, I didn't have a deep understanding of that incident. I just heard a few words from the employees. But I realized that the farm has a deep hostility to them. Or, they are very hostile to us."

He paused, and then told the story of himself and the Tagellolo tribe, how he met them, how he was shot by an arrow, and how he and Tia were poisoned and hospitalized together.He finally said: "The Jiluoluo tribe is actually very friendly to outsiders. Before they were hostile to outsiders, it was because someone had committed violence against them. But when we showed our sincere friendliness, they would regard us as friend."

Maybe he could be a son-in-law, Li Sheng still had a word in his mind.
