Chapter 476: Greed
Luo Zhigang went out in the morning, just in time to come back, and when he heard others say that the two of them had touched dirty things, he immediately said, "You go to Tianwang's house to have a look." I saw the cattle in Tianwang's house yesterday, and when I went to see it today, the cattle pen was empty. I went to ask Uncle Paulin, and Uncle Paulin said that he didn't know either, as if he went out yesterday and didn't come back. Don't you think it's strange that their scalpers are so smart?"
Cao Meiying also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." Which family's cattle are as weird as the cattle of the Tianwang family? They will run out to graze on their own, and they will not steal the crops. The cattle that my family used to feed couldn't pull in, and they were on the ridges of the fields, stealing crops. ”
"My cows too, they can't be pumped with sticks. If you're not careful, it will steal the crops next to it. The Tianwang family's cattle never seem to have been on a rope. If he wasn't so smart, how could Tianwang be so concerned about this scalper? In order to get the scalper to go to Huacheng, their family spent a lot of money. Xiao Xia, who was listening to the excitement, nodded.
Gao Fengxiang walked over: "What are you talking about?"
"Feng Xiang, tell you, something strange happened to us in He Mawan. The United States and Britain heard it. Xiao Xia hurriedly processed what Cao Meiying had just said and told Gao Fengxiang.
Gao Fengxiang giggled: "You guys make up nonsense." Where is such a thing? The scalpers of the Tianwang family followed Tianwang into the mountain yesterday. Later, when Tianwang returned, the scalper might have been lost. Now that there is no need for cattle for farming, Tianwang has feelings for that cow and is reluctant to sell it. So, I simply didn't look for it, and left the old scalper to fend for himself. ”
"Feng Xiang, how did you know? The scalpers of the Tianwang family are really not small, even if they sell gross weight, they can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan. Just lost it?" Cao Meiying couldn't believe it.
Luo Zhigang listened to the heart, this cow Luo Tianwang's family doesn't want it, if he goes to find the cow and lead it to sell, at least he can make tens of thousands of quick money. Although the scalper of Luo Tianwang's family is very old, he looks very strong, and he can't see that he is very old at all. It can definitely be sold for a good price.
"Tianwang, what were you doing in the mountains yesterday? I don't know if I lost the cow?" Luo Zhigang asked.
"Go mushroom picking. Tianwang's girlfriend is from the city, and when she saw that people in our village were picking mushrooms, she was very interested, so she asked Luo Tianwang to take her to pick mushrooms. The ox followed into the mountain. Maybe Tianwang and his girlfriend only cared about picking mushrooms, so they didn't notice that the scalper was lost. This can't be blamed on Tianwang, this scalper usually acts alone. Luo Tianwang didn't care much, thinking that the scalpers would come back by themselves. As a result, I accidentally got lost. It's a shame to have such a big cow. Gao Fengxiang said regretfully.
After breakfast, Luo Zhigang went to the mountains. He also carried a bamboo basket on his back, under the banner of picking mushrooms, but in fact, he went to find a scalper.
Luo Xiaoqing was playing in the yard in the morning, and after listening to the bad words of Luo Zhigang's mother-in-law, she hurriedly ran over to tell Luo Tianwang.
"Brother Tianwang, Zhigang and his family are talking bad about your family behind their backs. Say that there are spirits in your barren mountains. Luo Xiaoqing said.
"Yes, let's ignore them. They are engaged in feudal superstition. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
Later, Aunt Feng Xiang came over and told Zhigang and his family. Luo Xiaoqing said.
Luo Tianwang nodded: "That's right." Xiaoqing, you sent such a big piece of information, uncle has to praise you. Eat chicken thighs at my house today, okay?"
Luo Xiaoqing shook her head: "Grandpa said, if I go to your house to eat, you don't want me." I'm not going to eat your stuff. Otherwise, my parents won't be able to see me when they come back for the New Year. ”
Luo Tianwang smiled: "Xiaoqing, don't pay attention to your grandfather." He doesn't want you, you just go with us. Eat delicious food every day. him off. Okay, okay?"
Luo Xiaoqing shook her head: "The first filial piety, the second time." Teacher Li said that our children should learn to respect their elders from an early age. ”
"Oh, that's right. Then let's eat quickly and don't tell grandpa, okay?" Luo Tianwang said.
Luo Xiaoqing shook her head: "I ate at your house, and I can't eat when I go back, my grandparents will still know." ”
"That's going to be hard. Luo Tianwang had nothing to do.
Li Shishi said with a smile: "You just tell grandpa, you will have dinner at my house later, and then go to school with Teacher Li." Teacher Li wants you to help me get the notebook. Teacher Li has little strength, so many books can't be moved. ”
"Okay, I'll get a notebook for Mr. Li later. Luo Xiaoqing came to the table.
Xiao Chunxiu had already packed food for Luo Xiaoqing and sandwiched a lot of dishes for her.
Before the meal was finished, Luo Guangfu came to find someone.
"I knew this girl was eating at your house. Luo Guangfu looked helplessly at his granddaughter who was eating very well.
Luo Xiaoqing was a little panicked, and her eyes didn't dare to look at her grandfather.
"Guangfu, have you eaten? Sit down and have a drink together. At this time, you all sent things to our house, and you can't win by eating, so you can also help eat a little. Luo Baolin pulled Luo Guangfu to his seat.
"Teacher Li taught well, and everyone is grateful. If you don't say it, you really can't help it. Luo Guangfu said.
"Grandpa Guangfu, don't scold Xiaoqing. In fact, Xiaoqing is very sensible. We just kept her for dinner, and she refused. Later, Shishi opened her mouth and asked her to eat here, and then helped Shishi take the book to school, so she was willing to stay and eat. Actually, this kid is very sensible, don't be too strict. Didn't I often go to your house to eat when I was a child? The village didn't want to see me, but you always gave me good food. Luo Tianwang said.
"When you were a child, it was really not easy. These days go by so fast. I've grown up in a blink of an eye, are you going to get married at the end of the year?" Luo Guangfu asked.
Luo Tianwang nodded: "Wait until the new house is built and decorated." ”
"Well, when the new house is built, it's easy to do things. Luo Guangfu nodded.
After eating, Li Shishi took Luo Xiaoqing's hand and went to the village school, and Luo Tianwang went to the rice field. The rice in the rice field has been tasseled, this ear of rice is very amazing, a large bunch, the chaff that has just been pumped out has not yet been filled is tender green, and some rice flowers have begun to appear on it. This is a very critical time for rice. Rice is self-flowering wind pollination. If it rains or has low temperatures, it will seriously affect the quality of pollination. Nature affects the yield of rice. Therefore, when engaging in agricultural planting, many times rely on the weather for food. The risks involved in agricultural investment are very great. However, Luo Tianwang is lucky, this period of sunny weather is the best time for flowering and pollination.
Luo Guangfu is an experienced old farmer, who knows the growth law of rice very well, walked over and immediately said: "Tianwang, your rice yield this year is amazing." This rice seedling shelf grows well, and the weather is also good in this flowering season. As long as the management behind you keeps up and the wind and rain are smooth, your dozens of acres of rice fields will definitely be a bumper harvest. You have so much rice, you have to prepare a place to put it in advance. Don't have a good harvest when the grain is harvested, you have nowhere to put the grain. ”
Luo Tianwang sighed, he really didn't think of the place to prepare the grain in advance!
"Grandpa Guangfu, thanks to your reminder this time, otherwise it would be really anxious when the time comes. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. When the rice is harvested, many traders come to the village to harvest the grain without drying it in the sun. Even if you don't have a granary, it's fine. However, in terms of price, you may have to suffer a little loss. Luo Guangfu said.
Luo Tianwang smiled: "My rice won't be sold so cheaply. I'm going to contact someone who makes a professional granary to come and build a granary. If you want to build a large granary, build a large granary. lest it be necessary to exert yourself again in the future. ”
"If you're going to do a big job, you still have to build a granary so that no one else makes money. Luo Guangfu didn't know what Luo Tianwang was going to do.
"Whoa!"
The sound of water was heard in the rice field from time to time, and Luo Tianwang opened the rice seedlings, only to see a lot of loaches and black crucian carp swimming around in the water. That's a lot. The black crucian carp was very large, and many of the black crucian carp had their backs exposed to the water.
These crucian carp are particularly wild and especially like to rush out of the ditches in the fields into shallow water. At one point, I ran aground in shallow water and tossed for a while before returning to the ditch.
"It's really been raised by you. There are a lot of loach crucian carp in it. Luo Guangfu said with a smile.
"Hmm. In fact, as long as you don't use pesticides and chemical fertilizers, loaches are still very easy to raise. This black crucian carp has strong vitality and reproduces quickly. It's easy to succeed. Luo Tianwang really didn't put much effort into this.
"The difficulty is not to use pesticides and fertilizers. If it were someone else, without pesticides, the rice would have been finished long ago. Without the application of chemical fertilizers, the seedlings will not grow at all. Our rice fields here have been planted too hard, and the fertility has been destroyed. You can only rely on pesticides and fertilizers. Luo Guangfu said helplessly.
"The main thing is that no one dares to farm like me. There are more loaches and more fish in the rice fields, which is naturally fertile, and there are many fewer insects in the water. And the frogs, the frogs in my rice field are swarmed, and there are a little bugs, which are also eaten by the frogs. Only the disease remains, the seedlings are strong, the natural resistance is high, and it is not easy to get sick. What Luo Tianwang said seemed to make a lot of sense, but in fact, he covered up the most critical things. If it weren't for the formation he had arranged and gathered spiritual energy, how could these seedlings have grown so strong without getting sick? The fish, frogs, and loaches in the rice fields would not have reproduced so quickly.
Luo Zhigang entered the mountain, he was very cunning, he had been following the footprints of the ox. Luo Tianwang's cattle are so strong and tall, and the footprints left are deeper and clearer than ordinary cows. This provides Luo Zhigang with great convenience.
It's just that in many places, the thatch is deep and the leaves are thick, and even if the cow has stepped on it, it may not be able to leave footprints. Therefore, it is not easy for Luo Zhigang to find the direction that the old scalper is looking for.
