Chapter 497: Knowledge is Hope

In Horn Village, you can only eat one meal in the morning and evening, in addition to rice, you can add a little oil and water, which is simply delicious.

Before Liu Forget came, eating salt in the entire Horn Village was a luxury, but after Liu Forget took root in Horn Village, the villagers' taste began to be enriched.

Liu Forget is a college student after all, the reality of the conditions can not make sea salt, but the well salt can be easily refined, the Bashu area of the well salt method, Liu Forget in middle school has already learned, through the way of drilling wells to extract underground brine.

Brine is naturally formed, belongs to mineral crystals, boiled in boiling water, and formed crystals after exposure to sunlight, which is salt, but this salt is impurities, referred to as coarse salt.

At this point, it is necessary to refine the process that Liu Wang often did when he was in middle school, and after a little processing, after removing impurities that cannot be dissolved in water, the refined salt can be extracted.

After some hard work, seeing that the yard was full of enough salt for the people of the village to eat for three or five years, Liu Wang deeply felt the importance of knowledge.

Without this knowledge, and without the "Ten Salt Making Methods" that his chemistry teacher told him to memorize by rote in middle school, Liu Wang felt how painful it would be for a foodie like himself to not be able to eat salt.

The children, including the old people in the village, in the following days witnessed the scenes of magical modern craftsmanship brought by Liu Wang, the product of chili pepper that is scarce in the love village, in the hands of Liu Wang, three or four months in the land of the mountain Chaoyang planted full of red peppers, as for the sweet sugar is better said, in addition to the honeycomb in the woods, there are also natural debut hope trees on the mountain, the fruit has a faint sweetness, although the sugar is small, but it is enough for Liu Wang to make Zuò vinegar.

In addition to sugar, vinegar also needs ethanol, rice bran and other crops, which are not difficult to find in this original village, ethanol brewing is ready-made, the old people in the village basically every household will make wine, so there is no shortage of wine in this village, and naturally there is no shortage of ethanol.

While making zuò vinegar, Liu Forget had the whimsical idea to use some simple ingredients such as hope fruit and honey to make a variety of fruit juice vinegar instead of grapes, apples, tomatoes and other crops, so that the children could taste the delicious "drink" for the first time.

Liu Wang's arrival not only brought a variety of flavors to the village, but also handed over this method of making zuò to the old people in the village, in addition to these, bringing hope to the village was Liu Wang's original purpose.

Where does hope come from?

Knowledge!

With knowledge, there is hope!

Liu Forget deeply understood this truth, and he re-opened the notes of the previous volunteer teacher in the school, as well as more than a dozen dilapidated student enlightenment books left behind.

Liu Wang is very grateful to this volunteer teacher, because with these enlightenment books, these children, who are on average between the ages of six and twelve, have the hope and desire to step out of the mountains.

But these are clearly not enough.

Liu Wang, who stayed in the village for a year, stepped out of the mountain village again, and earned the children's knowledge from the nearby city, he spent a week singing in the bar, earning less than 2,000 yuan in labor fees, he used 2,000 yuan to buy the children the textbooks they needed to learn throughout the primary school period, cut the chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and other meat that the children had never sung, and then bought a second-hand camera and a guitar.

If you buy a guitar, you can play and sing to the simple village children, or you can practice your singing skills and sing in the bar to earn more money.

And buying a camera is something that Liu Forget has already considered.

Liu Forget knew that his own strength alone could not change the status quo of the mountain, and he needed more people to join in!

The following year, Liu Wang hiked out of the mountains again and uploaded the photos taken by his camera to his KK space and Facebook because of some touching qualities.

The poverty situation in the village and the innocent eyes of the children in the photos touched countless netizens, and soon, these photos spread all over the Internet, and some people began to mobilize their own forces to find the source of these photos, and the person who wanted to upload these photos published his bank account number to help.

However, Liu Wang did not have the time or money to go to the Internet café to surf the Internet again, he uploaded the photo to the Internet, and after singing in the bar for a week, he returned to Horn Village, this time with a promotional poster for the first season of "The Voice of China".

This year, Liu Forget began to practice singing hard.

The children gradually began to grow up, the youngest child is already eight years old, the oldest child is also fourteen years old, they are all used to Teacher Liu's savings, every time Teacher Liu leaves, they are extremely reluctant, but they all know that Teacher Liu is for their better future.

In Mr. Liu's mouth, the children gradually knew that there was an incomparably vast world outside, where the lights were bright and the flowers were flourishing, which was countless times better than the monotonous mountain life!

The children were very excited and curious, and began to yearn for the outside world more and more, but Liu Forget knew that taking them out now would not help at all, for the outside world, this Horn Village villagers hidden in the mountains were all black households that everyone shouted and beaten!

Black households, that is, people with no identity, no one knows where they come from, maybe they are refugees smuggled from North Korea, Vietnam and other places? It's all against the law, and no one knows about it.

Liu Forget suspects that this may be the biggest reason why the young adults in Horn Village have not come back after leaving Horn Village!

It's not that they don't want to come back, it's that they don't have a chance to come back.

Therefore, Liu Forget wants to push the entire Horn Village to the outside world, so that everyone in the outside world knows that they are not without identity, but they are just isolated by the mountains and forgotten by the world!

And all the points of convergence of this qiē are in Liu Wang's hands, the poster of "The Voice of China"!

It's a talent show platform with incredible influence!

Liu Forget knows that his singing skills are not good, but he doesn't want to win awards, he just wants to pass the audition, stand on the performance stage, stand in front of the camera, and let the world pay attention to this group of children in the mountains.

He is their hope!

They are also the hope of countless children trapped in the mountains for various reasons to fly out of the cage!

In the third year, Liu Wang walked out of the mountains again, and it took more than a month to successfully pass the audition for the second season of "The Voice of China" and successfully stand on the performance stage.

Looking at the countless audiences in the performance hall and looking at the four judges on the judges' seat, Liu Forget didn't sing, he remembered all the things in the past three years, suddenly smiled, took a deep breath, bent down, bowed to everyone, and then, he slowly told the experience that happened to him in the past three years.
