Time does not stand still because of anyone, and no matter what happens in that corner of the world, time still passes day by day. The work of the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info farm has also returned to order.

More than twenty days passed, and apart from Thomas's occasional reports on the progress of the tryouts in the cities of Rio and São Paulo, and the arrangements of the researchers from Huaxia who had come to the farm, there was hardly anything that bothered him.

But he still stays in the office every day, or he looks around. After all, he is idle in the villa.

That afternoon, Li Sheng was about to go home "from work" when there was a knock on the office door.

The person who came to him this time turned out to be Mariano. This was the first time he took the initiative to come to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng asked him to sit down first, poured him a cup of tea before asking, "Mariano, what are you looking for me?"

Mariano said a little crampedly: "Mr. Li, that, do you sell the potatoes on the farm?"

Li Sheng thought that he had something to talk to him about training or life, but he heard him ask this question. He thought that his family did not have enough food to eat, and planned to buy some potatoes on the farm. After all, the price of potatoes is still relatively cheap.

However, he has already investigated the situation in Mariano's family, and there are parents, older brother, younger brother and two younger sisters in the family. The population is indeed quite large, and it is understandable that there is not enough food to eat.

He is still very optimistic about Mariano's future future, he has now spent a lot of money to cultivate, and he doesn't care about sending a little food. So, he said, "It's because your family doesn't have enough food." Potatoes can't be eaten every day. So be it, I'll have someone send 300 catties of rice, 200 catties of flour, and 500 catties of potatoes to your house. You're training. If there's anything at home, come to me, and if I'm not there, come to Thomas or Babur. ”

When Mariano heard him say this, his face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Li." But my family still has enough food. ”

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then you buy potatoes?"

"I went to the Gilolo tribe two days ago and saw them harvesting potatoes. It has been said that potatoes from farms can be grown in the Amazon. I think that if we Kapocro people also grow some, we don't have to worry about running out of food in the future. ”

Only then did Li Sheng understand that he wanted to buy potatoes as seeds.

Although the farm also grows potatoes in large quantities this time, it is only because there is no better planting object. When those mulberry trees are planted, there will not be too many potatoes in the future. In fact, he did not intend to use potatoes as a commodity on the farm, and the main purpose of growing them was to use them for the farm's own consumption.

He also realized that Mariano's request was not so much from him as it was from the Cabocros who had asked Mariano to come to him. But he didn't refuse: "If you want to buy potatoes, of course there is no problem." But how much are you going to buy?"

"Then how much does Mr. Li sell for a kilogram?"

Li Sheng didn't want to make money on the Capocro people, he thought about the cost, not counting the land, the production cost of one kilogram was only 0.2 reais. Instead of collecting this money, it is better for good people to do it to the end. He said: "Don't say whether you sell it or not. If you want to grow rice or wheat on the farm. I can't give it to you because that's what I'm working with other people. I don't see potatoes as a trade, I just grow some for myself. ”

He paused and said, "If you want to plant seeds, I will send you some to make seeds." This amount should not be too much, but after you have planted the first crop, you can plant as much as you want in the future. ”

It's not that he's stingy, it's that he can't leave a silent farm for the Cabokro, where they can have whatever they want. The so-called Shengmi En's fight against Mi Hat, he is not willing to work hard to manage a white-eyed wolf.

Mariano stood up and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Sheng asked him to sit down and said, "But how to grow this kind of potato, you have to send some clever people to learn." Only 50 kilograms of potatoes can be delivered to each household. Is it enough?"

"That's enough, I've heard that an acre of land is only about twenty kilograms. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "It's enough." When the time comes, just let people come to the farm and transport it. ”

"Okay. Then I'll go first. ”

Li Sheng stopped him: "You sit down first." I still have something to tell you. Li Sheng also suddenly remembered one thing.

Mariano sat down again: "Mr. Li, you say." ”

"I heard you're dating the girl from Gilolo Buro?" Marcelo had told him about it, and he had only remembered it when Mariano had gone to the Gilo tribe. I heard that this little guy's object is still a twelve-year-old girl.

Now the Gilloro people have finally realized that the men out there are not necessarily hunters who are worthy of trust, and those children understand something when they go to school. Therefore, the Gilolo people are not averse to the tribe's association with outsiders.

Mariano's face flushed, he was indeed dating a girl at the farm school. Li Sheng mentioned this, and he thought he was going to oppose the busy and said, "Mr. Li, I really like Gina." ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "You don't have to think about these words, I promise, I'm not your Gina or anything." I just wanted to tell you that you can't relax your training when you fall in love. ”

He said seriously, "You know, I've invested a lot in you. I don't ask you to work hard, I just ask you to do your best. I also believe that as long as you can complete the training according to the coach's requirements, I will not be disappointed. And you're still young with that little girlfriend of yours. There is no problem in falling in love, I know that you Indians got married relatively early, but I hope you don't think about starting a family for a while. After all, you don't have a real source of income right now. You know, I expect a lot from you. Now if the people in the team don't meet my requirements, I'll give them a job at worst. But you can't. If you let me down, I won't keep you working on the farm. ”

Li Sheng knows that he can't put too much pressure on a half-year-old child, but he can't completely relax either. In particular, Mariano is still a very good kid and quite mature. So this pressure he thinks will not crush the other party, and it will be a motivation.

"Mr. Li, please rest assured. I'm going to train hard. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I think yours will." I don't want to interfere in your life, love should be talked about or must be discussed, but not too indulgent. And if you succeed, you will benefit the most. You also know that a successful player earns more in a year than if you worked outside for a lifetime. If you really like your little girlfriend, you should also work hard to make her and your future children have a better life. ”

Mariano kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he raised his head and looked serious: "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean." I won't let you down. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Not only not to let me down, but also not to let myself down." Marcelo said that you are the most talented young player he has ever met, don't waste the gift God has given you. ”

The Cabocros are religious. Most of them lived along the rivers, and they were the first people to be affected by the colonists' missionary activities. Almost all Caboquero people believe in indigenous Catholicism. So Li Sheng's statement made Mariano's face more pious.

Li Sheng said a few more words to him, walked out of the office with him, and said, "Okay, you can go back too." ”

Watching Mariano run away, Li Sheng smiled and shook his head, he didn't approve of Mariano, who was only more than fifteen years old, falling in love. Because he received formal training too late, Mariano did not have much time, and if he was distracted by falling in love, it would definitely affect his achievements. But he didn't have the confidence to say it. The fact that he likes a little girl is known all over the world, and it is too unconvincing to say that. If he said that, it would only disgust the little one.

Of course, he is not a party to either party, and he has no position to oppose it. So he can only use that kind of rhetoric, hoping to make Mariano calm down and train well.

The next day, Sandru also came to the door.

Sandru was also entering Mr. Li's office for the first time. He came to thank Li Sheng for providing potato seeds to the Capocro people.

Li Sheng listened to his intentions and said with a smile: "Our farm also hopes to have more friends, and friends help each other." ”

"A lot of people don't want to be friends with us Indians right now. So we are very grateful to Mr. Lee for helping us in this way. ”

Sandru was not a diplomatic statement, in fact the Caboclo had very little formal education, and in order to survive, they usually moved their entire tribe to occupy some communal land. This will be quite offensive to the local government and residents. As a result, the Indians were the only people in Brazil to be discriminated against.

In modern times, the Capoquero people have mostly stayed in their tribes, preferring to rely on Amazon forest tourism as tour guides or making handicrafts with strong ethnic characteristics rather than working outside. Now hundreds of their Cabocros can work on Silent Farm, and the salary is not low. This made them quite fond of Li Sheng.

Li Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "If the Capocro people have any difficulties, I will try my best to help." But if there's anything, you can come to me directly. You also know Mariano's most important training right now. Don't let those things distract him in the future. ”

Sandru's tanned face flashed red, and he nodded and said, "I'll pay attention to it later." I also hope Mariano can become a football star. That would be the pride of all of us Cabocros. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "That's also my hope." ”

He paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, you should have heard that the farm is going to hold a football game." In this competition, the farm will form a team to participate. I also hope that you Cabocros will also form a team to participate. However, participants must not be more than 18 years old. Have you picked your players now?"

"Yes, I heard Thomas say that. I haven't thanked Mr. Lee for giving us Cabocro a chance. The team has been formed and is now training. ”

Originally, in Li Sheng's plan, there were two teams participating in the football cup on the farm, the farm's football team, which is now mainly Cabokro, and the other is to select a youth team from the Cabokro.

Sandru knows that each team can play seven games in this cup competition, and even if they don't win a game, they can also have an appearance fee of 7,000 reais, and there will be a minimum of 10,000 place bonuses. That's a lot of money for kids who like to play football. He felt that Li Sheng was using the name of a football match to provide some assistance to the Cabocro people.

But he knew that Li Sheng asked him to form a team, because Li Sheng wanted the mark of the Indians to always appear in this cup, because if the cup would continue in the future, the farm team would eventually be dominated by children from football schools. (To be continued.) )
