000019 Sunflowers
In order to ensure the accuracy of the translation, Xiao Yifei proofread it several times, and even checked the dictionary word by word, and finally he made sure that he had no translation errors.
After reading this translated "space manual" repeatedly, Xiao Yifei was depressed.
This characteristic of space temporarily shattered his dream of going abroad to get a big ranch.
Because it's easy to grow a fast-growing pasture with space optimization, it is necessary to water the grass every year to maintain this optimization outside of the space, and thus to feed the cattle that eat the pasture. For a ranch, the cost of building a full irrigation system is too high, so high that it is more expensive than the pasture land. And the money earned from selling beef alone may not even be enough for maintenance.
However, it is possible to grow grain with this characteristic, but do you really want to farm land in China?
If you want to talk about farming, you can avoid the lack of space, after all, not to mention the rice that needs water, whether it is wheat or corn, you have to water it, and it is easy to water the space once a year.
Forget it, just leave it alone and see.
This Spring Festival, the whole family is also very happy, and the two little ghosts are the happiest. Just after the first day of junior high school, my parents and sister-in-law devoted themselves to the business of looking at real estate. Xiao Yifei fell into thinking, he should try to find a project with a higher rate of return according to the characteristics of the space.
Soon, he got inspiration from his mother's complaint about the high price of vegetables during the Spring Festival, and felt that the income from growing vegetables must be higher than farming, but growing vegetables is limited by sales channels and the price fluctuates too much, and the labor required to grow vegetables is higher than that of other crops.
When he went to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods, he saw that the price of blueberry juice was far higher than the price of other fruit juices, and he thought that maybe planting fruit trees would also be profitable. And orchards generally have drip irrigation systems, which is very beneficial for keeping the trees optimized.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Xiao Yifei got together with several high school classmates in the county seat. When these classmates saw Xiao Yifei coming over in Weiyanuo, they were all stunned. Some of these students chose to become civil servants, some chose to do business, and some chose to work part-time. Although some people have millions of funds in their homes, they are reluctant to buy such a business car.
Dinner was signed by one of the best classmates who mixed in officialdom. After dinner, Xiao Yifei took his classmates to a newly opened song hall in a car, and yelled for several hours while drinking.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yifei took the whole family back to the countryside to burn incense to the grave of his ancestors.
Xiao Yifei's hometown is very close to the county seat, drive 13 kilometers along the provincial road, and then drive 2 kilometers on the county road to Jiugu Township, and drive 4 kilometers on the country road to their hometown, Xiucai House. It is said that the Xiucai of this Xiucai House is Xiao Yifei's ancestor.
As soon as Xiao Yifei got out of the car, his uncle, uncle and mother-in-law immediately shouted at the elders around him. Dad and Mom chatted enthusiastically with these elders, and Xiao Yiming and his sister-in-law were there to deal with the enthusiastic elders. And the little Apple siblings didn't care about this, they ran directly to the old house, and Xiao Yifei took the opportunity to follow.
It is said to be an old home, but in fact, it was rebuilt a few years ago. Now the hometown is a two-story brick house, and because his grandmother refused to move to the city, Xiao Yifei and his family could only renovate the house in their hometown. It's a pity that my grandmother only lived in the new house for two years and died, and the house was empty.
After staying at home for two days, my brother drove back to the county seat with his sister-in-law and Little Apple. Two days later, my brother drove his newly bought car to pick up his parents, and they needed to devote themselves to the property viewing. Only Xiao Yifei and Black Nose are left in his hometown, and he can finally enter and exit the space openly.
Xiao Yifei drank a bottle of his own wine that day. Xiao Yifei is very satisfied with his first brewing technique, at least he completely eliminated the acetic acid bacteria and did not turn the wine into grape vinegar.
Since then, Xiao Yifei has been studying and translating every day, and wandering around the neighborhood when he is tired. Don't say it, Xiao Yifei really found a few good places to farm near his hometown.
Sandwiched between Daguan Lake and Longhu Lake and the Yangtze River, there are more than 200 square kilometers of leveled farmland. If all this land is obtained, it will be 300,000 mu, and after deducting fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, and land rental money paid to farmers, it will be 30 million yuan per mu for only 100 yuan.
It's a pity that in the first town, people directly refused, saying that it was impossible, and they didn't even go to Xiao Yifei to find a middleman to find them for a meal. In the second town, there were people who went to the appointment, and after eating and drinking, they said that without this policy, they would not dare to play like this, and those ordinary people would not do it. The third town received an official reply from the gods: "We study and study." ”
Xiao Yifei completely extinguished his thoughts of tossing in China.
This flat land is very suitable for growing rice, and if unified management is implemented, mechanized farming is carried out, and rice is planted with optimized use of space, it only takes a small amount of manpower to create as much value as before. As long as these rice are used to create a brand of rice, it is very easy to make a profit of hundreds of millions of yuan. But as someone said, if you use less manpower, then the rest of the labor will have to make trouble if you don't do anything with money.
Some people also persuaded Xiao Yifei, don't toss so big, just get one village or several villages, but with such a small area, you can't make much money at all, so it's better to go abroad to get a large piece of land to plant, or rely on the wealth in the space to be a rice worm.
The wealth in the space is really huge, even much larger than Xiao Yifei had estimated before. During his recent cleanup, he found an oil painting and a few sunflowers in a vase while cleaning up the Latour family collection.
When it comes to oil paintings with sunflowers, people's first reaction is Van Gogh.
Van Gogh, I'm sure you've all heard of it. He is famous, one of the three great masters of late impressionism. But I have to say that he is really a tragic figure. At the age of 27, he began to study oil painting and began to create, creating 1,900 works in his lifetime, but only one work was sold when he was alive: "Red Vineyard".
Xiao Yifei did not find out how many "Sunflowers" Van Gogh painted in total, because it is said that he can paint an oil painting in three days, and the master seems to like to paint a few paintings on the same subject. If you have to give a specific number, some say 11 pairs, some say 15 pairs. In addition to what is known now, his "Sunflowers" appear from time to time, and most of them are fakes, of course. According to the 1987 "Sunflowers" sold for $40 million, it now costs hundreds of millions of dollars to be worthy of the name Van Gogh.
Xiao Yifei carefully looked at the authentic "Sunflowers" on the Internet, and then carefully looked at the sunflowers in his hand with a magnifying glass, and finally found a line of signatures "uincent" in the middle of the vase, and finally he judged whether this thing wrote "V" out "u", Van Gogh's full name is Vincent. Sanskrit. High, it makes sense for him to sign a vincent. But why did the "V" become "u"? Is this a fake? But it shouldn't be, Van Gogh was not famous during his lifetime, nor was he favored, otherwise he would not have sold only one oil painting, and he did not seem to be famous before World War II, and this painting appeared in the collection of the Latour family. That is, it was collected before 1941, and no one should have imitated his paintings at that time.
Xiao Yifei stood in front of "Sunflowers" and carefully observed this oil painting, just looking at it for a while, he felt a little dizzy. Forget it, the paintings of these masters, Xiao Yifei, who is mortal with the naked eye, really don't know how to appreciate them.
Of course, if you want to say that Xiao Yifei doesn't like oil painting, that's definitely not true. Xiao Yifei likes that kind of paintings with fine paintings, such as some landscape paintings, still life paintings, just like the real ones, and many human body paintings, which are also vivid, Xiao Yifei likes them very much. Like some people who are confused or look like little Apple siblings, Xiao Yifei is not interested.
Speaking of body paintings, Xiao Yifei found a lot of restricted-level works in this pile of oil paintings, and there was actually a pair that specifically depicted the female body from the angle below, and the secret place directly occupied the center of the oil painting. Xiao Yifei, who was watching, suspected that it was painted by the Japanese.
Xiao Yifei classified and sorted out the oil paintings this time, completely according to his own preferences. He put his favorite paintings in a pile, he didn't care about them, and he didn't like them. After finishing it, Xiao Yifei found that although he didn't understand this school of oil painting, what he liked was that those paintings had a characteristic, that is, they were almost the same as the photos, and they looked very normal.
Among them, "Sunflowers", which may be the real thing, is among the dislikes.
Xiao Yifei deliberately checked the most expensive oil paintings at auction and found that these oil paintings with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, if they were in space, would basically be classified as disliked. In other words, among the oil paintings he doesn't like now, it is very likely that a hundred million dollars will come out, which makes him dare not act rashly.
Xiao Yifei's next step is to try to find out who the signatures on the pile of oil paintings he doesn't like are, so that he can roughly estimate the price.
Don't think it's a simple matter, some oil paintings are invisible, and you have to use infrared, X-rays, etc. to see them. And even if you see the signature, it is not uncommon to misjudge the authenticity as a fake, and it is not a case of two cases.
For example, one of Van Gogh's paintings was regarded as a fake for half a century, and it was not until later that experts discovered that it was an authentic work of Van Gogh's early creations.
In 1960, the late Dutch painter and master forger Hans van Miglen once owned a 17th-century famous painting "**" that was donated to the British Courtoude Art Society, and the head of the association thought that the painting was a fake concocted by Migren. Fifty years later, experts discovered that the painting was actually the work of the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
These oil paintings that have been identified as wrong are all signed by the painter in their entirety, and they can all be misjudged, not to mention that some painters write a shorthand of their name. Michelangelo, a top painter, is known as the "Three Masters of the Renaissance" along with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, in 2010, one of his paintings "Madonna and Lady" was discovered, originally thought to be a painting signed "Mike", but it turned out to be Michelangelo's abbreviation, and now the National Museum of New York is bidding for $300 million.
I just found out that as soon as the status was changed to signing, it disappeared from the newcomer new book list, and it turned out to run to the newcomer signing new book list. Although there are more masters here.,The clumsy work is not on the list.,But it doesn't matter.,The author is already very satisfied.,At least we're at the top of the newcomer new work in the urban classification (the original first place has soared.,Hehe.)。 Ps, the biggest advantage of signing a contract is that you can set a scheduled release, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to publish.
