Chapter 471: Brush off your clothes
A huge freshwater lake suddenly appeared in the depths of the great desert in northwest China, and the news spread all over the world almost instantly.
All those who knew the news immediately thought of Wang Yong and his desert hydration plan that made people speechless.
Immediately afterwards, the central government, which saw hope, also took vigorous action. Even larger transport planes took off and landed in a steady stream, dropping huge blocks of earth ice from the desalination plant in the Bohai Sea to the huge desert lake in the northwest, day and night.
The size of the lake continues to expand every day, and several teams of researchers and agricultural scientists are entering the area by helicopter to set up a research station here and begin to try to restore the ecological environment.
First of all, a large number of rice seeds were planted by local farmers hired to see if this water-saving and adaptable crop could create another miracle in this lonely desert.
Second, the state has dispatched a large number of engineering troops and civilian workers from various localities to start construction on the edge of the desert, preparing to build a road and railway leading to Shahu Lake to solve the traffic bottleneck problem here.
In the end, I don't know if it was the great god who came up with the method, the state actually organized a large number of manpower and equipment to dig sand boats, mud pumps, etc., in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the sediment is tightly silted, after a large amount of sediment at the bottom of the river is pumped out and slightly settled, it should be loaded into trucks and ships, and transported to this desert area by land, railway, and ship to improve the soil structure here.
The lake named the Lake of Rebirth was also filled with a large amount of flora and fauna that the researchers had put in the water, and the abundance of aquatic plants and animals brought the clear desert lake to life in no time.
Some places near the lake soon popped up like a myth with meadows and forests of sand willows and poplars, turning it into a desert oasis and a paradise for desert creatures.
After more than three years of continuous investment of funds and manpower by the state at any cost. Eventually, the total area of this nascent lake reached an astonishing 500 square kilometers! And the largest mobile desert in China, and the second largest in the world, has finally been curbed! The area of the desert began to appear for the first time, and instead of increasing again, it decreased by almost a thousand square kilometers.
The railway from Xinsheng Lake to the nearest city of Korla has been built by the state at any cost, and the tall poplars on both sides of the railroad tracks and rows of sand willow and fields of oil, poplar and grass protect the railway until the two places.
Countless tourists come here in various ways to experience the great miracle of transforming nature created by human beings themselves! Every tourist who has been here can't help but admire the greatness of this method that Wang Yong came up with and the magic of modern technology.
But that's all for later, now? Wang Yong saw that he was on the right track, and the lazy tendons on his body came out again. Leave everything to the state to run. He returned to the village and began his usual life as a small farmer.
The mid-mountain village is still so calm, and the hustle and bustle outside has been intercepted by the outpost guarded by troops in the mountain pass, and the qiē here has become more mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.
After returning to Banshan Village, he rested for a few days, and I don't know what he thought, so he took over his two greenhouses. Every day, I have to go to the mountains to work for half a day, plant vegetables, look at fruit trees, and accompany Xiaohei Xiaobai. There are also white furs that have grown to half a meter tall to play for a while.
Every morning after breakfast, he would hike up the mountain empty-handed, and then plant new vegetables in the open space of the greenhouse. Will those that are outdated. The vegetables that have been grown are pulled out to make room for the next batch of vegetables.
Whenever this time, Xiao Hei, Xiaobai and Bai Mao would always come out of nowhere, jumping around in front of and behind Wang Yong, and sometimes even helping Wang Yong dig a hole with their claws.
But generally at this time. Wenwen, a little girl with a small tail, will always blow them all away angrily.
Because this job was given to her by Wang Yong's father, not to mention that the three of them are just making trouble, and the pit is either too big or too small. It's not suitable at all, how can it be as good as Wenwen to dig it up?
Because of Wang Yong's personal management, these two greenhouses have an unlimited supply of spiritual water, and when they are interested, they will enjoy some more special treatment. Therefore, whether it is the growth or harvest, or the taste and quality, it is more than a step higher than other plots in the village.
This makes many unconvinced old farmers in the village secretly or blatantly run over to learn from teachers every day when they have nothing to do.
Some cunning old guys will even take out some candies, biscuits, fruits and other snacks to tempt Wenwen, wanting to get the secret of why this plot grows so much better than their own land.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, not only them, but also Wang Yong's godfather Cao Wei also took his subordinates to study here for a period of time, but in the end they didn't come up with anything, so they had to give up.
Wang Yong sometimes takes Wenwen to the bamboo forest to see if there are any new bamboo sunflowers. From the first time he ate this thing, Wang Yong liked it.
Whether it is shabu-shabu, stir-fried, or stewed, the crispy taste makes him extremely nostalgic. Although the bamboo forest in the small world is quite large, I don't know why, but it is rare to find bamboo trees growing.
However, although there are few bamboo sunflowers produced in the small world, the taste is definitely comparable to the outside world from time to time, even if it is produced in the bamboo forest in the middle of the mountain village, it is worse than I don't know how many levels.
Because of the scarcity and delicacy of bamboo sunflower in the small world, Wang Yong can't eat it at all, not to mention that he has to be robbed by relatives and friends frequently. For example, fat people, such as Zhang Wei, who is becoming less and less interested in treating himself as an outsider, and the little cub who comes to the village more and more diligently.
Sometimes, Wang Yong will also accompany his goddaughter to see the giant pandas who occupy the mountain. These domineering guys live happily and carefree in the bamboo forest that Wang Yong and the villagers specially planted for them.
Now they are completely omnivores, and their diet is no longer dominated by bamboo. As long as it is food given by the people in the village, he will not refuse it, accept it all, and put it in his mouth when he takes it.
The uncle, who was getting more and more panicked, had to talk about the living habits and eating habits of giant pandas on TV for several days.
It can be said that in addition to Wenwen, the uncle in the village can definitely be regarded as the second person who likes these guys. If you don't come to see them every day, you won't even be able to sleep well at night.
In the words of the aunt, which is full of sourness, it is better for these pandas than for his son and daughter! Be careful!
But Uncle's efforts have also paid off. He was the only human in the village, other than Wang Yong and Wenwen, who could casually touch the giant panda and would not arouse their disgust or attack in any way.
Sometimes, there are often greedy little ones who don't have enough of the food that the uncle brings to them, usually some fruit or ham sausages or something.
A few of these little guys will pounce on them, grab the uncle's trouser leg and pretend to be pitiful, and crack their big mouths to make a very aggrieved sound.
At this time, the uncle would pat the guys on the head, and then take them back to the village and give them something they liked and could eat.
Uncle knows about these pandas. He knows the preferences and personalities of almost every giant panda, what they like to eat and what they don't like.
Therefore, in the village, you can often see the uncle followed by a few cute pandas, once the uncle walks faster, these guys will also make a voice to remind him: you go so fast, people can't keep up, and I don't know how to take care of the children!
After letting these guys who followed up the village eat something. Uncle would pat them on the head again, then point to the north, wave his hand, and mutter, "Let's go." Let's go. ”
These gluttonous guys waved their upper limbs a few times, said hello to the uncle, said goodbye, and then crawled back to their base as if no one was around.
Because the small world is expanding again. In addition, Wang Yong swept all the creatures in the sea near the plaster country in a predatory manner, so now it is very convenient for him to eat fish, especially sea fish.
As a result, Wang Yong can often be seen pulling out a sea fish that is definitely not small from nowhere. There are many species that are uncommon and cannot be named.
However, there is one thing he often criticizes by Uncle Zhang and Dawei for eating fish, that is, no matter what kind of fish, there is only one way - stew. It seems that in addition to stewing fish, he has no interest in the fish made by other methods, whether it is steamed or braised in a braised way.
Of course, if someone else made it, he would have eaten it. But as long as he makes it himself, then don't think about it, it must be a big iron pot stewed fish.
The expansion of the small world makes Wenwen more happy every day. Because the godfather will prepare a plate of large prawns for her every day.
All of them have prawns the size of an adult's palm, and the red ones are very good-looking, breaking off their heads, peeling off the shells of the shrimps, revealing the white and tender shrimp meat, and Wenwen can eat five or six of them every time.
It's not that she doesn't want to eat more, it's because the elders except her godfather don't let her eat more, and every time they watch her eat five or six sticks of guard, they say that they won't let her eat any more, but will let her eat some other fish, eggs and vegetables, saying that they want to ensure the balance of nutrition she takes in every day.
Even Faye Wong, a poor little girl who had just come to Banshan Village for a short time, began to put aside her initial reserve, and was often abducted by Wenwen's sister to eat prawns and eat all kinds of fish together.
Sometimes Wang Yong and Wenwen would carry a few fish to her home, and give them to Wang Jie for him to make for his sisters and brothers.
So now, Faye Wong's sisters and brothers are most familiar with Wang Yong and Wenwen in addition to Wang Jie's family, and they often follow Wenwen's girl to run around the village, which is much more lively than when they first came to the village.
The days passed day by day, winter went to spring, when wisps of green shoots began to emerge one after another on the northern land, and when spring came again, the village began to be lively. (To be continued......)
