Chapter 115: Inspecting the Suburban Vegetable Fields
Li Youran estimated that the experiment of planting cabbage and radish at the root of the wall should not be a big problem, and it was better to seize the time to go to the suburbs to inspect the land situation.
So the next morning, after breakfast, he said hello to Aunt Qi and Gu Weiwei, and drove out alone.
Li Youran first went to the west, and then to the south, the city has developed rapidly in recent years, and there was only one ring road in Tianhai City, and now even the fourth ring road has come out. Everywhere you look, there are many construction sites, and although real estate has been suppressed by the continuous policies above, it is still vigorous, after all, this is a large commodity that everyone loves and needs. Even if a person verbally scolds every day, his heart is not full of desire.
The expansion of the city has directly brought about the shrinkage of cultivated land, and the original suburban rural areas have been expropriated for land Chapter 115 to inspect the suburban vegetable fields, and the peasants have also been turned into non-farmers, from grain growers and vegetable growers to consumers.
Li Youran drove until outside the South Fourth Ring Road, only to see a large field with common crops such as rice and corn. As I continued to walk forward, I saw a strange phenomenon, and in my field of vision, patches of uncultivated farmland had turned into an overgrown wasteland.
Li Youran parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and looked around, the terrain here is flat, the soil quality is good, there is a small river on the side, irrigation is not a problem, and the traffic conditions are quite convenient. Why has the land been deserted? It's better to plant anything than to be wild.
With doubts, he locked the car door, jumped lightly, crossed the ditch on the side of the road, and walked up the ridge. There was a cornfield on the west side of the wasteland, and an old farmer had just come out of the field, squatting on the field, smoking a cigarette bag and pot.
Li leisurely walked over and approached the old farmer, who looked quite old from the side, and his face was full of wrinkles.
"Fellow, this is your cornfield?" Li said hello leisurely.
The old peasant turned his head, glanced at the young man, took a puff of his cigarette, spit it out, and said:
"Yes, boy, you're here to play? Chapter 115: Inspecting the Suburban Vegetable Fields"
Li Youran smiled, squatted beside the old farmer, and continued to ask:
"Fellow, ask me something, why is so much land abandoned here?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a large wasteland.
When the old farmer saw him ask about this, he sighed and slowly explained the reason.
Over the years, with the economic development, the young people in the village have lived, few are willing to farm, most of them go out to work, do business, the loss of strong labor is serious, the rest of the village are some old people, women and children, the lack of labor, resulting in a lot of land uncultivated, so abandoned.
"Why don't you hire a race? It's good to plant anything. Li Youran asked.
The old farmer shook his head and said that it is not cost-effective to farm now, although there are government subsidies, but the price of labor has risen, seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides have also risen repeatedly, while the purchase price of grain has not moved much.
"What about that kind of dish? The price of food in the city is very high now. Li Youran remembered that since the Spring Festival this year, vegetable prices have remained high nationwide, and according to newspaper reports, they have hit a record high.
The old farmer finished smoking a bag of cigarettes and knocked the ashes with the soles of his shoes.
"The price of vegetables is high, that is the price of the supermarket in the city, and the purchase price of the land is not like that, hey, there is not much money."
Li Youran understood, a few days ago, I saw netizens from all over the Internet exposing the price of vegetables in their localities, and the cries of not being able to eat vegetables were screaming, and even green peppers in many cities had risen to seven or eight yuan a catty. However, the field purchase price of vegetables has been very low by large and small vegetable sellers, and the profits of the big heads have entered the intermediate circulation link. Coupled with the soaring oil prices and rising freight rates, this has caused a strange phenomenon of two ends complaining and making a fortune in the middle.
Li Youran shook his head, this is an instant reality, and no one can solve it easily, so don't bother with that brain. He asked the old farmer about the location of the village committee of Tonghezi Village, then thanked him and left the cornfield.
Li Youran drove around again, and finally felt that the location of the wasteland and other conditions in Tonghezi Village were better, so he would go directly to the village committee next time to talk.
With his mind in mind, he drove back to the city.
*********************
Li Fangcheng has been living a very nourishing life recently, visiting the fire dragon aquarium during the day, feeding the fish, and pedaling on a tricycle to deliver water on two trips at most, which is not too tiring for young people, at least it is much easier than doing farm work in the countryside. The rest of the time, I chatted with the old Wang next door, which was quite interesting. After dinner in the evening, it is personal rest, and his biggest hobby is to go to the video game city on the west side of Antai Street to play games.
Because of the big business in the aquarium shop a few days ago, Brother Ran Zi rewarded 7,000 yuan at a time, which made him look at Venus, and he had never carried so many tickets in his pocket, and he felt that his waist was straightened up all of a sudden.
Now that he has money, Li Fangcheng is very enjoyable to go to the video game city to play games, the video games in the city are different, large-scale somatosensory racing, the latest high-definition large-screen "Street Fighter IV", "Iron Fist" and other games, what is fun and fun, it is very fun.
And he found that he was very talented in playing games, as long as he watched others play a few games, he could get a seven, seven, eight or eight by himself, which also made him very proud.
The city is really good, let's just say that the gorgeous neon lights on the streets at night make him never get tired of looking at it, compared with the dark scene of Lijiagou Village, it is two completely different worlds.
It's a pity that the good days don't last a few days, and they are about to be circled.
After dinner that night, Li Fangcheng was going out to play games as usual.
"Fang Cheng, your brother asked you to go on a trip, in the South Treasury." Uncle Qi said to him.
Li Fangcheng responded and trotted all the way over.
In the south warehouse, Brother Ran Zi and Sister Xiaoying were watching "Lan Lan" on the edge of the fish tank, and "Lan Lan" became more and more beautiful, with a faint blue reflection, like a streamer elf in the night.
"Lan Lan" was not taken to the aquarium shop, on the one hand, because Brother Ran Zi thought that the aquarium store could not use so many high-end fish at present, and on the other hand, it was also because "Lan Lan" was Xiaoying's sister's pet.
"Lan Lan" also has a very high IQ, and at this moment she is shaking her head and tail to make a gesture of wanting to eat, Xiaoying's sister tears off a few pieces of dough cakes and throws them into the tank, "Lan Lan" quickly and continuously devours, fast and accurate, making the little girl laugh.
"Brother Ranzi, are you looking for me?" Li Fangcheng said hello.
"Fang Cheng, come on, I'm looking for you to have something, I told you a few days ago, you have to go to school with these managers in the store at night, it just so happens that the new enterprise management training class starts today, Da Niu has already registered for you, the class card and teaching materials are there for him, you will go to school with them in a while." Li leisurely beckoned and said to him.
Li Fangcheng was stunned when he heard it, he remembered that Brother Ranzi had indeed told him about it when he first came, but he had almost forgotten about it!!
