Chapter 196: Digging Wild Vegetables (2)
Chu Chu sat in her father's arms, her eyes were wandering around restlessly, and she turned back from time to time to care about her animal friends, until Cai Hongming slapped her buttocks, and she quieted down.
It's spring, and the farm is full of life.
The four-wheeled motorcycle drove out of the gate of the Western Capital Shengjing, and a towering giant pillar cactus jungle appeared in front of him.
Because of the abundant groundwater support, these giant pillar cacti grew bigger and bigger, and the cactus group that originally looked sparse suddenly became crowded, so Cai Hongming dug up some giant pillar cacti to make the edge of the farm. After several years of cultivation, the new seedlings of the giant pillar cactus gradually adapted to the local climate. In the next step, Cai Hongming plans to pave the road leading from the desert road to his farm with a cement road and plant cacti. In this way, people will have a strong desert atmosphere when they look at it.
It's quite a big project, and luckily someone pays for it.
After he established the Civilian Tank Museum, he bought some tanks one after another.
Later, after making meritorious contributions in Western Xinjiang, the government knew that he needed tanks and sent another batch, plus he bought some Russian, European and American tanks from the Russian Leonid in the name of a museum. There are now almost hundreds of tanks in the museum, and at the same time, there are a steady stream of tanks of different models being transported from Kyiv by the Russian Leonid.
These tanks are just a pile of scrap metal on their side, which can be sold to Cai Hongming, and Leonid doesn't know how many times he woke up laughing in his dreams. It is estimated that he has sighed in his heart many times, there are so many fools in China.
After having the tank, Cai Hongming went to negotiate with the Gulang government, and was willing to exchange the museum's ticket income for a piece of sand next to the Shengjing Farm in Xidu.
In other words, if the government rents the land to him for free and builds the road from the desert road to the museum, he can get 70% of the ticket revenue of the tank museum.
The Gulang government is located on the edge of the desert. Most of the local vegetables are grown, the agriculture is developed, the industry is very small, and there are few large taxpayers, so the local finances have been very tight, and it is a well-known poor county in the local area.
At this time, Cai Hongming put forward such an opinion. How could they not accept it.
First of all, you can't eat or drink on the sand, and you can get seventy percent of the ticket income in exchange for it, so a fool doesn't want it. As for whether anyone will go to the tank museum to play, there is no need to think about it at all. Now there is only one tank museum of such a large scale in China, and you can only see it. The tank museum here not only allows people to see tanks from various countries, but also climb in to play, and even drive a tank to visit the museum, and spend a little money to have a tank battle.
Nowadays people love novelty things. Cai Hongming's folk tank museum is the only one of the scorpions, as long as it is properly promoted, are you afraid that no one will come?
Soon, the Gulang government team passed a proposal and approved 10,000 acres of land for Cai Hongming to build a tank museum, and if the space is not enough in the future, it can be increased. In addition, the Gulang government has also borrowed money from banks to build a concrete road between the desert road and the tank museum.
When the government doesn't do things, it's so-so and fools people. It's really fast. At the beginning of spring, the road to the tank museum began.
Cai Hongming is also unambiguous. Let people fence off 10,000 acres of land and start building the infrastructure inside the tank museum. And pour cement piers on the ground to place some tanks that can't move, and find some good ones to repair them, and then you can rent them to play tank battles games or let people drive tanks to play in the desert.
Domestic people have never sat in a tank, but have driven a real tank, and I believe that this novelty must have a very good market in China.
Walk through a dense jungle of giant pillar cacti. The vast farm is right in front of you.
Farms in spring are not as dead and lifeless as they are in winter. Newly planted corn, sweet potatoes and other crops have sprouted, growing green shoots, and a majestic vitality has begun to spread in the soil.
The owl hero who lived in the cactus of the giant pillar saw a large group of them coming out of it, and also flew over to join in the fun. It's a pity that the body is too fat. The wings simply couldn't support it for long, and it ended up landing on the ground and running behind the big roosters.
There is a dirt road that divides the farmland and pasture into two sides, the left is the farmland where crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans are grown, and the right is the pasture where yaks, ostriches, sheep, pigs and other livestock are raised.
Chu Chu stayed in her father's arms, and when the motorcycle drove past the place where yaks, ostriches and other livestock were raised, she began to stretch out her hand to greet them happily, and those guys seemed to know her and screamed. One after another, so lively.
After the beginning of spring, Cai Hongming's inspection system for super barbarian barbecue restaurants conceived last year began to be implemented.
These people who go to inspect are not ordinary roles, and they must be trained for a period of time to be able to barbecue meat and cook the dishes in the super barbarian beef barbecue restaurant before they can make the trip.
Some went to inspect, some were on duty in the Hotan Rose Garden, and some were sent by Cai Hongming to the Super Manniu Logistics Base and Arts and Crafts Factory on duty, and there were few people left on the farm. When it comes to the busy season of spring farming, the manpower begins to be anxious.
Fortunately, last year, the troops were laid off, and another group of people were transferred. Of course, some of them couldn't bear the loneliness and ran away, leaving more than 70 people behind. The farm is turnaround.
Liu Chong and the others looked at the newly grown crops in the attic on the edge of the farmland, and saw Cai Hongming and Chu Chu coming over with a large group of animals, and went over to say hello.
Things like sweet potatoes and corn are just starting to sprout, so you don't have to worry too much about taking care of them, just watch and don't let gerbils bite off the rhizomes or insects eat the young leaves. One of the advantages of growing something in the desert is that there are few insects, but there are still locusts, and those things don't come from nowhere, sometimes they are just a swarm, and if you are not careful, the leaves will all be eaten.
"Chu Chu, where are you going!" Liu Chong came over and asked Chu Chu.
This little boy has a milky voice, and she is beautiful and cute, and everyone on the farm likes to talk to her. Especially those girls, who like to hold her in their arms and pinch her around, I feel that she is much more fun than rag dolls.
"I'm going to dig vegetables with my dad." Chu Chu held a small shovel and said very angrily.
"Dig up some vegetables, be careful to dig up the grass and go home." Liu Zhong teased.
"Won't I?" Chu Chu said arrogantly.
Cai Hongming chatted with them for a few words, and then continued to drive the quad motorcycle to take Chu Chu and a large group of animals forward. Xiong Daxiong'er, who was originally with Liu Chong, saw it and joined the ranks of this group of wild vegetable digging troops.
The farmlands are ploughed and fertilized in the spring, and various crops are planted, making it difficult to find wild vegetables. So Cai Hongming took his daughter to walk outside the farm. Out of the farm, there was a long stretch of yellow sand, except that the sand was sand, and there was no place where wild vegetables grew.
The desert is full of soft sand dunes that are not suitable for wild plants, so if you want to find a place where wild plants grow, you must be in a sunny and shady place, or in a dry river valley or ditch.
Fortunately, Cai Hongming was very familiar with this side, glanced at it a few times, saw a place, and drove over.
The quad bike was not as smooth on the soft sand as it was on the dirt road on the farm, and the ups and downs were very bumpy, but Chu Chu was not afraid, but was very happy and whined with joy.
Turning around a few dunes, you come to a canyon between two tall sand dunes with a dry ravine below. Because of the rain last night, there was a slight trace of water in the ditch, and some small grass began to grow wildly. As soon as Cai Hongming arrived at the place, he saw a lichen growing on a stone in the ditch and on the shady ground next to it. It was only because of the sun that the lichen on the stone began to wither and roll up.
Cai Hongming parked the quad bike and took his things and took Chu Chu to the lichen.
"Chu Chu, this is called lichen, it is a kind of wild vegetable, you can eat it, and when you dig it back, Dad will make it for you to eat." Cai Hongming dug up a piece of lichen and said to Chu Chu.
Chu Chu took the lichen, looked at it curiously with big eyes, and then turned to a group of friends who came over and said, "Look, this is called lichen, and Dad said you can eat it." Jiaojiao, Xuexue and Xiaolong stayed to protect me, Huahua, Xiong Da, Xiong'er, and Daxia went to pick vegetables, got it? ”
Usually Chu Chu is very good to these guys, plus these things are very smart, so after hearing Chu Chu's words, he really went to pick lichens. (To be continued.) )
