Chapter 244: What kind of life should I live?
Yesterday, he removed the water flowing from the strange stone in the ring space and splashed it near this location. These are like fresh broken grass and broken trees, which are basically soaked by the water that moves out of those ring spaces, and they have not entered the ring space, but they have already achieved the preservation effect.
This unexpected discovery made Lao Qi ecstatic. He began to carefully collect the fresh broken grass and the broken grass that had already wilted, and prepared to take it back to continue his observation. After the grass samples were collected, Lao Qi began to pay attention to the changes in the ring space.
In one night, in the ring space, the strange stone occupies the ground plane that has been covered by the water flow, and the top of the strange stone is still sprayed with chopstick-thick water, and the trickle flows along the strange stone landscape into the pool, spreading to the flat ground, clear and clear.
The ground was pressed and sunken by strange stones, and the boxy shape of the ring space began to change, the water chestnut at the top seemed to be much more rounded, and the top plane was slightly arched outward. Calculate mentally after visual inspection. Lao Qi suddenly found that the volume of the ring space had not changed, but the shape had begun to change.
Is this change good or bad? Lao Qi couldn't deduce it for the time being, but the water that naturally flowed from that strange stone seemed to be different. That spring water actually has a preservation effect, unlike the original experiment he did, and the water stored from the outside only plays a role in storage and self-preservation.
If the water flowing from that strange stone can really keep it fresh, that is, in the future, the fruits and plants that need to be kept fresh no longer need him to use himself as a humanoid fruit preservation processing center. Take advantage of the rootless water in the ring space. He can keep the fruit plants that need to be kept fresh naturally. Lao Qi, when he finally saw the day when he could be freed, he no longer had to be confined to the one-acre and three-point land in central Yunnan.
The world is so big, he also wants to take his family out for a walk and see.
Speaking of which, Lao Qi is really breathless. In the blink of an eye, I have lived most of my life, except for those years of work, taking advantage of business trips and inspections to go out for a walk, I really haven't gone out with my family to see this more and more wonderful world. He said that the old party is a turtle, in fact, he is the real turtle, for the old party and other shareholders have nothing to do to go out to see the world, he is really envious and jealous!
He is also a rich man now, why can't he leave the territory of Caiyun and go out for a walk. Isn't he going to stick to the fruit company as a human-shaped fruit preservation center?
When I go back and study this new discovery, if it can really be achieved, the preservation and fruit quality can reach the original level, and I can be liberated.
Lao Qi had already seen the clear sky in the JF area, and he was not interested in continuing to explore in the valley, so he immediately went home.
When Lao Qi returned to the Hani cottage in a happy mood, the two brothers Zhang Kelin and Zhang Keshan, who drank wine and ate meat last night, bragged and chatted and played with their skins, had not gotten up yet. In November, there is really not much farm work to be busy in the mountains, and it is very good to drink and sleep lazily.
Sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting money until your hands cramp, isn't this the highest life ideal of many urbanites in modern society? The two brothers of the Zhang family have achieved at least one of them, and not many urban animals can enjoy this kind of chicness.
Just like the story of the famous fisherman and businessman that Lao Qi argued with his colleagues when he was young: there was a fisherman, he was very comfortable lying on the beach basking in the sun, and a businessman saw him and walked over to him and said, why are you so lazy, you should get up and go out to sea to fish. The fisherman said what if you catch fish, he said, you can make a lot of money, you can buy a boat, ask someone to go out to sea for you to fish, you don't have to work so hard, you can lie here and bask in the sun comfortably. The fisherman said, "Aren't I comfortable basking in the sun right now?"
Back then, Lao Qi and his classmates had a fierce debate about the meaning of the story, and they were divided into two sides in a deliberate manner, and the scholars played a debate tournament to debate.
It's funny to think about it now, the fisherman basking in his sun, the merchant earning his money, each with its own way of life and pleasure, what is there to worry about and argue about. You worry about them and argue for them, the fisherman is still basking in the sun and getting enough sun to catch fish, and the merchant is still making money and making enough money to go to the beach to bask in the sun.
What do others worry about for them? People who bask in the sun do not pull a piece of money to bask in the sun, but they are the ones who make money, and they accuse the sun of not making money. In fact, it is good to be content with their own order and ecology. He's had enough of the sun, and he's finally going to catch a net of fish to fill his stomach. He was tired of making money, and he finally wanted to take a walk on the beach and relax. Where are the absolutes?
There is a paradox in this story: there is a force that wants to forcibly pull some, or most people, into an order that they have set. To give you a popular example, let's say in a barroom, everyone is playing dice. You're in and you're drinking alone. At this time, someone will pull you and say, "What's the point of drinking alone, come and play dice together!"
If you really don't drink and go to play dice with them, and you can't play well, the person who pulls you to play dice will laugh at you: "How can you play a dice, and you can't play well?"
After so many years of life grinding, Lao Qi has a new understanding of that story. That story is not about wealth, it's about two different ways of living and doing things. Judging the two by wealth is different from one person to another, and the criteria for being born and entering the WTO vary from person to person.
The story makes it clear that the businessman's thinking is: give up the sun and work hard to make a lot of money, and then you don't have to work, you can go to the sun. A businessman is a smart man, isn't he? Budget-conscious, long-sighted, ambitious.
And the fisherman's ultimate goal is not to bask in the sun, where people are just basking in his sun. When a person is a fisherman, he thinks that he has caught enough fish and can live, so he begins to enjoy his life and do what he likes, what's wrong?
Zhuangzi once said: "Fish swim calmly, is it the joy of fish?"
Keiko once said: "Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"
Zhuangzi retorted: "The son is not me, and I know that I don't know the joy of fish?"
Keiko also said: "I am not a son, I don't know the child, the child is not a fish, and the son doesn't know the joy of fish, it's all there." ”
Zhuangzi said: "Please follow the roots." The son said, 'Thou knowest the joy of fish', and ask me when he knows what I know. I know it. ”
I was bored of staying in the city, and I came all the way to the mountains to explore and play, experience different lives, and have fun. The Zhang brothers stayed in the mountains, their income was not high, and the low cost of living in the local area was enough for them to live their lives freely.
Lao Qi's whim, his accidental arrival, is it good or bad for the Zhang brothers? Will they still have such a leisurely life in the future? What about Xiao Qi in another time and space?
