Eco Farm by Farmers on the Fly

Chapter 24: National Day

The next day, September 30, is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tian Chuan set off from his home in the capital in the morning, loaded the moon cakes, preserved fruits, tea, Liubiju pickles, Tianfu sauce meat and palace cakes bought in advance, and went to Quanjude to pick up the ordered roast duck and drove back to his hometown. In Yongyang, seeing that there were river crabs for sale, Tian Chuan bought a lot. It's a holiday, so I have to go and see my grandmother, a few aunts and uncles, and my aunt, and buy some for each family.

Before leaving, Tian Chuan called Xu Jingyi's dormitory and asked if she could go home and see her. Xu Jingyi had already made an appointment with her classmates to go out to play, and if she didn't go home, Tian Chuan had to go on her own.

When I got home, only my father was at home, and the corn in the field was ready to be harvested, and my father was preparing to harvest the corn in the afternoon. Tian Chuan stopped his father who wanted to be in the field, drove him to the fishing tackle shop, asked his father to change his mother to look at the store, and drove his mother to see his grandmother. Leaving his mother at his grandmother's house, Tian Chuan drove to other relatives' houses, left gifts and greetings, and then returned to his grandmother's house for lunch and took his mother home for the holiday.

Back at the store, my parents mentioned the corn harvest again. This summer, there was a big flood, the corn harvest was late, and the harvest was not good, Tian Chuan proposed to sell it directly in the field, not to harvest it himself, to save some effort, and his parents thought of the income of the fishing tackle store now, and they did not dwell on this matter. On the same day, my father contacted the buyer and sold all the corn on 7 acres of his family's land at a price of 500 yuan per mu.

In the afternoon, my father was busy with corn, and my mother went home to make a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and Tagawa helped to look at the store for an afternoon. There weren't too many fishing friends in the afternoon, so Tian Chuan tidied up the club's honor wall in the store, and posted a series of honors such as training, TV and newspapers, competition awards, and honorary president of the National Fishing Association, and hung up the certificate of the bald Ling Wenxin competition. Then I sorted out the Qin records in the store, and found that the sales of 598 were not very good, and the sales volume had dropped a lot compared to the crazy sales at the beginning, and it seemed that there were still some problems with sales.

He took out the VCD CD and VCD machine for training from the car, put up his teaching video in the store, and wrote the news of the arrival of the competitive fishing technology training CD on the notification board. At the same time, he also saw that the information that he would exchange fishing skills with his fishing friends on October 2 had been written in the notice board by his father.

Tagawa looked through the preliminary membership records in the store and found that more than 50 membership cards had been issued, and some members who had made more purchases had visited the store more than 20 times in more than a month, shopping more than 500 yuan. A member took the initiative to take out the award certificate of the unit's fishing competition and placed it on the member honor wall. Tagawa felt that he could start thinking about the official construction of the club, and he was ready to clarify the rules of the club and separate from the fishing tackle supermarket, but the fishing tackle supermarket would be the main sponsor, and the next step could be to consider recruiting new sponsors to improve the club's economic situation. He wrote out the draft rules for the construction of the club, and went to the copy shop to make dozens of copies, ready to hand them over to the members to read and revise, and finally improve.

After finishing this, it was almost dark, Tagawa locked the door of the store and returned home. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my mother has been preparing dinner all afternoon, and when Tagawa arrives home, she has almost made it.

At home, sumptuous dishes are already on the table, including roast duck, sauce meat and crab brought back from the capital by Tagawa, prawns brought back from Weihai, pheasants and hares brought back from Jixian, as well as traditional fish and vegetables. Dad took out the Yongyang Yu that Tian Chuan brought during the summer vacation, and was put back by Tian Chuan and replaced it with the imperial style that had already been listed. Tian Chuan took out the four bottles of wine from the box and placed them on the table, and the heads of the four emperors on the crystal bottles were lifelike under the illumination of the light, showing their dignity. Tian Chuan sighed: "This wine sells for more than 900 bottles, which is still a bit low." ”

Tian Chuan has a large amount of wine, Tian's father used to be a salesman, and the amount of alcohol has already been practiced, Tian's mother can also drink some, and the family almost drank up two large bottles of the emperor, which is fun. The banquet was removed, tea was brewed in the courtyard, fruits and mooncakes were put on the table, and the family chatted until late. The parents were still a little uncomfortable with the great changes that Tagawa brought to the family, but Tagawa showed them a beautiful picture of the future.

Tian Chuan persuaded his parents to take advantage of the current autumn harvest to exchange the 7 acres of land scattered in 4 pieces of the family together, even if the good land can be exchanged for bad land, it is better to change it to the slightly higher ground in the north of the village, no longer planting traditional field crops, but to build greenhouses, part of which will be used to raise earthworms, and in the future use earthworms as feed to raise chickens and produce green eggs and chickens. The other part grows vegetables and fruits, which are sold out of season. At present, the overall production scale of out-of-season vegetables is not large, and it should be able to sell at a good price. The site for raising chickens can consider contracting the windbreak forests on the side of the road north of the village, and the trees in these forests cannot be moved, but the open space between the forests is just right for raising chickens, and the contract cost should not be high. At the same time, he advised his parents not to do everything by themselves, but to grasp the general direction by themselves, and just hand over the specific work to the hired villagers.

When it comes to learning to drive, my parents complained that there is too little time, 10 people in a car, and I can't touch it a few times in half a day. Tian Chuan is going to find a full-time coach for the two of them to teach in Qinglong Town, and his parents can learn almost everything in a week in half a day. My parents have not yet changed from ordinary people to rich people in their minds, and when they heard Tian Chuan say this, they reacted that it turned out that learning to drive can not be taught at a driving school.

When Tagawa returned home and had not yet gone to the construction site of his new home, his parents talked about the construction progress, and his father said: "The construction of the construction company is completely different from the construction of houses in the village, and now the digging and waterproofing have been completed, and the concrete is being poured to lay the foundation, and it is said that the underground water and water supply, electrical wiring and gas pipelines have been laid, and the next step is to carry out the construction of the basement." It is expected that the house will be capped at the end of October, and the interior decoration and installation equipment will be worked, and it will definitely be able to move in at the end of the year. ”

One night passed, and the next day was the National Day, Tian Chuan invited his sister's family to celebrate the festival together, and the little niece woman Wei Wei was very happy to see Tian Chuan, and shouted as soon as they met: "Uncle Uncle, I miss you." The roast duck you gave to your mother is so delicious, and the big bottle you gave to your father is so beautiful, but what about the gift for Weiwei?" Tian Chuan magically took out a bulging backpack from the cabinet, handed it to the little girl, and said, "With a small schoolbag, you can go to school." Vivi opened her schoolbag and saw the clothes, colored pencils and children's books inside, and jumped with joy, holding it up to her parents to show off.

My father went out early in the morning to talk to someone about the land exchange, and Tian Chuan said hello to his sister and brother-in-law, and also went out to the town to see the fishing tackle shop, leaving his mother at home with his sister's family.

Today, Tian Chuan is waiting for his sister, the fishing tackle shop opened a little later than usual, and when he arrived at the store, there were already several fishing friends waiting in front of the door to open the door. Tagawa hurriedly opened the door of the store and invited everyone to sit in the store.

After a while, more and more anglers arrived, and many people asked about the 598 bait, and everyone felt that the bait they bought was not as magical as the legend said, and asked Tagawa if there was any secret in it. Tagawa briefly introduced the relationship between bait usage and fishing techniques, and demonstrated how to prepare bait and check the condition of bait on the spot. Finally, I recommend that you buy a fishing skills training CD, which is a set of two CDs and costs 12 yuan, which is much cheaper than ordinary CDs.

In the afternoon, the bald Ling Wenxin came, Tian Chuan saw that there were a lot of fishing friends, and decided to go to Ling Wenxin's fishing ground tomorrow morning to explain and demonstrate the competitive fishing method for everyone, Ling Wenxin expressed his full support for this activity, and set aside a crucian carp pond tomorrow. It turned out that after he returned from training in the capital, he expanded the scale of the fishing ground and annexed the two ponds next to it, and now there are three ponds, a crucian carp pond, a carp pond, and a mixed pond. Tian Chuan thanked Ling Wenxin for his kindness, and said that as long as a few fishing spots are set aside, it is okay, and during the eleventh holiday, it is the best golden time of the year for the fishing pool, and it is too great to set aside a pool. As for other anglers who want to fish, they can buy tickets to fish.

Tagawa took out the club management method and distributed it to everyone, asking everyone to give their opinions, and said that the fishing club will be established around October 20th, and please give feedback before the 10th.

On the afternoon of that day, Tian Chuan called Zhou Jiahui and asked him to help hire a coach, bring a car to Qinglong Town, spend a week teaching his parents to drive, and take a driver's license test, and the remuneration was negotiable. Zhou Jiahui was also happy, and called back in less than 20 minutes, saying that the matter had been completed, and the coach who invited him would contact Tian Chuan tomorrow at the latest.

After a while, the coach's call arrived, and he agreed with Tian Chuan that from the day after tomorrow, he would come to Qinglong Town for 7 consecutive days to teach Tian Chuan's parents to drive, and then handle the exam for the two of them. Tagawa was going to drive the Passat back next weekend and hand it over to his parents to drive, so he agreed with the driver that he would talk to his parents for a few days after the test to help them get familiar with the car, and the driver certainly had no opinion. In these two weeks, you can earn two months' usual money, and a fool is unwilling, not to mention that Zhou Jiahui has greeted the driving school, and his salary is still paid during this time, and the coach's car is also from the driving school.

When he returned home in the evening, Tian's father had already agreed with the villagers about the land exchange, and went to the village to sign an agreement with several relevant people. For plots with slightly worse terrain, Tian Dad gave appropriate compensation to the relevant personnel and completed the transaction. As a farmer, Tian Dad is very familiar with the plots, and the compensation given to others is a little higher than the normal level, and everyone is very happy.

On October 2, Tian Chuan asked his mother to look at the store, and his father went to the village to discuss the contract of more than 30 acres of woods on the side of the road north of the village, and he drove to Ling Wenxin's fishing ground early in the morning.

The training was ready to start at 8 o'clock, and by the time it was almost time, more than 30 enthusiastic anglers had already arrived at the scene. Tian Chuan first introduced Ling Wenxin, who had participated in the training, to everyone, and asked Ling Wenxin to demonstrate with him. In Tian Chuan's explanation, Ling Wenxin and he demonstrated the main content of the last month's meeting in Beijing, but the error correction link was missing. After about 1 hour, the bait, rig configuration, operation essentials and principle explanation were completed, and the two began to try fishing.

Watching the scene of the two of them fishing continuously, the anglers who came to participate in the training and the anglers who bought tickets to fish next to them were very excited. In the same pool, even with the same type of bait, the speed of Tagawa and his two fishes is surprising, but the fishing friends next to him rarely catch fish, so I can't help but be excited.

After the demonstration, several boxes of 598 bait and 50 sets of VCD discs brought by Tagawa were sold out. Tagawa took the opportunity to advertise: "Ladies and gentlemen, the bait and discs have been sold out. But don't worry, the 598 Fishing Tackle Supermarket in Qinglong Town is now in stock, and you can go there to buy bait and other utensils. ”

It was almost noon, Tian Chuan stopped the demonstration, he was going to Yongyang, to send Zhou Jiahui some local products in the capital, and in the afternoon to visit Zhang Chenglong's grandfather, to ask Xu Beihong's painting identification problems.

Tian Chuan declined Ling Wenxin's invitation to eat at noon and was about to drive off, but he had already poured Tian Chuan and the fish he caught in a large plastic bucket, let the two people carry it, and sent it to Tian Chuan's car, Tian Chuan refused, so he could only take the more than 100 catties of fish to Yongyang. After arriving in Yongyang, Tian Chuan first went to Zhou Jiahui's winery, put down the Beijing specialties brought to him, and put down half of the fish, and asked Zhou Jiahui to give it away. The distillery had already begun mass production of the imperial style, and Tagawa was happy to see the busy scene in his factory. Before leaving, Zhou Jiahui gave people a large box of imperial style, and took out a large box of small bottles of imperial style of mass production commemorative edition, and put them on Tian Chuan's car together. A large box is 6 groups, and a large box of commemorative films is 10 groups, Zhou Jiahui sent it very generously, Tian Chuan was a little embarrassed, and pushed it again and again: "Brother Zhou, I have been bothering you for a while, and if I take so much wine from you, I will almost lose my face to come to you." Zhou Jiahui said: "Brother, don't see outside, take it away for others." Next time, if you don't ask for it, I won't move you anymore, how about it? I took it out this time, do you still want me to move it back?" Tian Chuan had no choice but to accept it.

did not stop at Zhou Jiahui's factory, Tian Chuan rushed to Zhang Chenglong's house again, Zhang Chenglong's parents were working in other places and did not come back. Tian Chuan wanted to eat at Zhang's house, but he didn't expect that Zhang's house had guests. Tian Chuan handed over the prepared gifts and fish to Zhang Chenglong, and then took apart the imperial demeanor that Zhou Jiahui had just given, took a group, and gave it to Zhang Chenglong's grandfather, Mr. Zhang Wenzhi. Seeing that there were guests, Tagawa prepared to say goodbye. Zhang Lao grabbed Tian Chuan and asked, "I Chenglong said that you have something to look for me, why did you have to leave just after we met?" Today's guest is not an outsider, but a student of mine, and we happen to meet together. As he spoke, he pulled Tagawa to introduce the guests.

At this time, Tagawa took a closer look at the guest, and saw that he was about fifty years old, tall and burly, with short gray hair, and strong muscles that almost covered the cuffs of his short-sleeved shirt.

At this time, Grandpa Zhang introduced: "Xiaochuan, let me introduce you, this is my student, now Shi Lizhong, a professor of the Chinese Department of Beijing University. He also said to Professor Shi: "Xiao Shi, this is Chenglong's classmate Tian Chuan, who is now studying at Agricultural University, and his literary and calligraphy skills are good, which is much stronger than Chenglong." "Professor Shi Lizhong's famous Tagawa has heard that he is not famous in Chinese, but a famous calligrapher and painter. I want to find someone to identify Xu Beihong's paintings, and this is the best choice. hurriedly greeted Professor Shi respectfully: "Hello Professor Shi, I am a lover of calligraphy and painting, and I will ask you more for advice in the future." ”

Professor Shi warmly shook hands with Tian Chuan: "Xiao Tian, since you are all in the capital, you will come to me more often in the future, and you can communicate with you if you have any questions." ”

After talking for a while, the nanny set up lunch and invited everyone to eat. Tian Chuan pushed and said that the seniority was too low, and he and Zhang Chenglong would not be at the table. Professor Shi said: "Although this is the case according to the ancient rites, it is too inconvenient, as a modern person, we should not stick to this, and the inheritance of these ancient rites should be criticized, otherwise the impact on work and life will be too great." According to your statement, Mr. Zhang should prepare 4 tables of meals today, and I can't share a table with everyone. We don't have that many rules, let's sit together. ”

Although Tagawa did technical work in his previous life, he was a lover of literature and calligraphy and painting, and his long-term reading and application tempered his basic skills in ancient literature relatively solidly. Calligraphy and painting are his hobbies, and he usually writes and paints, but the level is not good, and he can only say that he can see it. The level of Chinese painting is poor, but sketching and sketching are used in design, and after some hard practice, the realistic kung fu is quite good. At this time, when I talked with Professor Shi, I could keep up with the rhythm. Although Professor Shi has a rough appearance, he is a wonderful person and likes Tian Chuan very much. After a meal, Professor Shi spoke highly of Tian Chuan, thinking that he was much better than the undergraduates of the Chinese Department, and asked Tian Chuan with a smile if he would like to study his graduate school, Tian Chuan laughed and said: "This hobby to go to graduate school seems too luxurious." Is it that if I don't read it, you ignore me when I ask you questions?"

Professor Shi laughed and said, "You just have to come, when the time comes, we will communicate on an equal footing, whether it is literature, calligraphy and painting, I will not hide it from you." As long as you don't ask me for calligraphy and painting, my calligraphy and painting are too expensive, and I am a little reluctant to give it away. ”

After the meal, Grandpa Zhang asked Tian Chuan about his intention, and Tian Chuan had asked him for advice if he had a question on the phone. Tian Chuan took out a few washed and enlarged photos from his bag, which were the four paintings of Xu Beihong, and asked Grandpa Zhang and Professor Shi to help identify them.

Professor Shi took the photo and looked at it repeatedly, and said: "From the perspective of basic painting skills, the possibility of the real product is not small, but it still needs to look at the real thing to finalize." At this time, Grandpa Zhang suddenly said next to him: "It must be true, this should be a work from the mid-40s." ”

Professor Shi and Zhang Chenglong are frozen, Grandpa Zhang's attainments in the field of traditional culture are profound, but calligraphy and painting are not his strengths, although he loves to collect, the level is not outstanding, at this time so sure, has he seen these paintings? Grandpa Zhang looked at them and explained: "I have never seen these paintings, but I know the people on the paintings." ”

This lady's name is Pang Yunzhi, called Dexin, who was the daughter of a Kuomintang teacher in Beijing at the time, and was very fond of calligraphy and painting, and later married a student of the art department of Beijing University, and cut off contact with her family because of her family's opposition. Later, the division commander died of illness before the liberation of the capital, and I never heard of Pang Yunzhi and his wife again. I met her because I was making a living in Beijing at that time, and because I loved painting, I audited Mr. Xu Beihong's class in the Art Department of Beijing University, Mr. Pang was a student of Mr. Xu, and Miss Pang always came to listen to Mr. Xu's class at that time, and I was very impressed by her. Now it seems that Mr. Xu divorced in 45 years, and I guess it may have something to do with her. ”

After a rough discussion, Tian Chuan finally made an appointment with Professor Shi to take a closer look at the paintings after returning to the capital. If necessary, Professor Shi will help Tian Chuan to ask relevant experts to appraise the painting.
