Heavy footsteps came from far and near, and a big man with a full beard walked in, he had a tall nose and deep eyes, he was a classic ancient Europa race, and next to him was a one-meter-tall wheeled car-like robot, on which were placed two boxes, which should contain fruits.

"Uncle Henry, what delicious food did you bring here?" Xiaowei happily ran over and asked.

"You probably haven't eaten anything you brought here this time." Henry looked at us while holding the fruit, or rather at Floca, she was more welcome there than I was. I don't know if it's to arouse our greater interest, but the fruits brought by Henry can be described as colorful and eye-catching. I recognize the red sand dates that grow in the semi-desert area, the red apples with spots on the skin, and the orange-yellow grapes the size of dates, but none of the others are recognized.

Henry introduces each one he picks up, and the names are really unheard of, but they all have one thing in common, they are delicious. I held a sand date in my hand, chewed an apricot in my mouth, stared at the tempting amethyst plum, smelled the fruit fragrance of the room with my nose, and my facial features were filled with a hearty fruit feast at the same time.

"Uncle! How much fruit have you grown! That's a lot! Generally speaking, the conditions required to grow fruits are different, and it is rare to grow so many.

"Uncle planted a lot, the orchard is several times larger than my yard, and birds often come to eat fruits, and I think birds eat more than us every year!" Xiaowei grabbed the front of Henry and said, and the funny thing the little guy said caused everyone to laugh.

"Uncle, are you engaged in agronomy?" I asked about the fact that almost everyone on the planet has a specialty, and generally does what they do best.

"Haha!" Henry smiled and said, "No, in fact, my job is closer to Ouyang, guess what!" ”

"Uncle Ouyang is a master gardener, and he doesn't have much to do with agronomy!" It's amazing.

Henry! You tell them, you can guess here! Ouyang said on the side.

"I'm in charge of the overall planning of Shangzhou, and growing fruits is just my hobby!"

"Planning work, then you are a master planner!"

"I can't talk about it, but the planning of Shangzhou in the past hundred years has basically been my main work."

"Does that planning have anything to do with growing fruit?" He was also very interested in this work, and asked with interest.

"Yes!" Speaking of planning, Henry's voice sounded a little, "You need water to grow everything, do you know what Shangzhou was like thousands of years ago?" ”

"What does it look like?"

Henry sat up straight, fixed his eyes, turned to the left and right, as if recalling something, and only after his eyes turned left and right twice did he introduce me to the history of Shangzhou.

"Nearly a thousand years ago, Shangzhou was only a small oasis in the desert, with only a few springs, but there was still relatively rich groundwater. In the millennium after human beings joined the alliance, the earth's population slowly decreased, and the population gradually migrated or decreased in some places where the natural conditions in the upper reaches of Shangzhou's groundwater were not very good, coupled with the planting of trees and forests, the water sources in this area gradually became abundant. Finally, more than 400 years ago, a river reappeared in front of the world, the river

After the appearance, we calculated and analyzed, and found that with the improvement of the environment, this place is completely suitable for people to live and live, and the climate conditions here are still more comfortable than nearby, so all the people within a radius of 100 kilometers have moved here. ”

"But it stands to reason that the population has decreased a lot in the past thousand years, so why build a new city, and other cities can accept the people who have moved over!" I also know a little bit about the history of the earth, and at that time, not many cities were completely abandoned, and it was not reasonable to build a new city.

"Hmm!" Henry didn't seem to expect that this question would not be answered at once.

"I know that!" Ouyang, the owner who had been eating fruit, still spoke, "Because at that time, people thought that it was in line with the concept of environmental protection to build a new small city in a suitable place, and people always preferred to create." ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Henry looked at Ouyang, who had helped him out, and continued: "A suitable location is indeed very important, in fact, it is also very important to choose this place is that the light and water here are very suitable for the growth of fruits, and the fruits here are very famous. ”

"What are the characteristics of Shangzhou's urban layout, or what is the ideal city in your mind?" He also raised his interest in planning.

"Shangzhou takes the river as the axis, the lake as the eye, and the water as the god. The city's main residential areas are built near the water, and each house is facing the water according to the trees, each presenting a scene. As for the ideal city in my mind, there is none. ”

"No?" I'm very puzzled by the flocculation.

Henry smiled and said, "Yes, my ideal life is to build a hut or a wooden house in the mountains, so that the whole mountain forest is mine, and I take the necessities of life from it, and dissolve it with nature, so that I can live happily." ”

"That's not a savage, the earth was like this when it was not civilized, do you think this kind of life is good!" He didn't quite agree with his idea and objected.

"You are wrong, we are civilized people dissolved in nature, how can we compare with those uncivilized primitive people, they live to survive, and I live for life, how can it be compared." Henry's point of view is so special that we are meeting for the first time, so we don't discuss the following, but let our stomachs continue to enjoy the delicious fruits here.

"Ahh Don't eat too much fruit, you'll have to eat dinner later. Qinghe came over at some point and reminded him.

"That's right! Mrs. Ouyang's specialty dish is not easy to eat! Henry immediately picked up the fruit, and said as he did, "There is some fruit, you can bring some back later." ”

We cleaned up together, and it didn't take long for Ouyang to take us to dinner. Zhao Qinghe's dishes are really good, the simplest fried vegetables feel a special taste, and the most wonderful thing is the local specialty of grilled lamb chops, crispy and smooth. It's tender and doesn't stick to your teeth at all.

"Aunt Zhao! Your greens are very good, how can you cook them! "Su Feng is also a gourmand specifically asked.

"This dish is made with our beef bones here and the spring water here to boil the broth, the taste is a little special, if you use water, it will not have this effect."

"That's it!" Flocculation

Fei and Aunt Zhao have a sentence to talk about the cooking of dishes, and I am only responsible for eliminating them all.

After filling in the half-filled, I suddenly remembered something and asked: "Uncle Ouyang, I saw the oldest wooden pagoda on the earth, called Shakya Pagoda, which is almost 3,000 years old, we want to go and see, how is this tower, is it convenient to go over there!" ”

"Oh! You say that wooden tower! It is 700 kilometers away from us in Ningxian County, which is the oldest existing wooden building on the earth, and the most rare thing is that its main components are still the previous ones, unlike many ancient buildings, the main materials have actually been changed many times. It's well worth seeing. We have an airship here to go there, every two days, and you can go tomorrow if you want to go. “

"Yes! That's great, by the way, are there any other ancient buildings in this place in Ningxian! ”

"No, except for this wooden tower, all the other ancient buildings have long since collapsed. It is the existing ancient archway or hundreds of years ago with the original information imitation, although there are years, but after all, it is not a thing at that time, not worthy of the ancient tower! ”

"Yes! As far as I know, I wanted to rebuild some ancient buildings around the area based on the original information, but many people were against it! Henry thought for a moment and added.

"Why!" I asked at the same time.

"It's about the idea of heritage preservation. Some people like to reconstruct cultural relics based on ancient documents, but many traditional crafts have been lost, and what you insist on creating with the current technology can only be called fake cultural relics. More people are still opposed to the restoration of ancient buildings, thinking that it is more important to preserve the original appearance of ancient ruins, and there is still a lot of information about the preservation of ancient ruins in the country, and you are against rebuilding those original information, so it is opposed. The ancient memorial arch was built on the side of the Shakya Pagoda because the plaque on the memorial arch was well preserved in the museum, and the plaque was put back after special treatment after the memorial arch was built. ”

I'm not very good at ancient architecture, but I'm full of mind to listen, and I interject a few words from time to time, and I suddenly think that she seems to have a second-level qualification for ancient culture, and the two of them talk about these to a relationship. After a fairly hearty meal, Ouyang and the family were invited by Uncle Henry to have a look at his orchard.

This orchard covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, the terrain is slightly undulating, and the whole orchard is not simply planted with some trees, but there are small rivers and small lakes dotted among them, and there are exquisite ancient eaves corridors and a pavilion built by the river. Fruit trees grow sparsely or densely in the garden, the colorful fruits decorate the whole orchard into a colorful world, and some birds are chirping to enjoy a delicious meal, and there are some fruit residues scattered on the ground, which is the work of the birds. Some of them were pruning and cutting grass in the orchard, and none of them went to chase away the greedy birds, and they greeted us warmly when they saw us coming. This is an orchard, and it is simply a paradise where people and birds get along harmoniously.

Enjoying the breath of nature, picking some lovely fruits, and soon the two blue seeds that Henry prepared for us were almost full. In the end, if it weren't for the sun's setting sun reminding us, we'd have continued to walk. After reluctantly saying goodbye to Henry and Ouyang's family, we returned to the hotel, and the first day in the home planet was really beautiful.
