Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 476 Greed
Luo Zhigang went out in the morning and came back just in time. When he heard someone said that the couple encountered something dirty, he immediately said, "Go to Tianwang's house and take a look. I saw the scalper in Tianwang's house yesterday, and today Look, the cattle pen is empty. I asked Uncle Paulin, and Uncle Paulin said he didn’t know, as if he went out yesterday and didn’t come back. Don’t you find it strange that their cattle are so smart?”

Cao Meiying also quickly said: "Yes, yes. Which family's cattle are as weird as Tianwang's yellow cattle? They will run out to graze on their own, and they will not steal the crops. The cattle that my family used to feed can't be pulled. On the ridges of the fields, they specialize in stealing crops."

"The same goes for my cow. It can't be whipped with a stick. If you are not careful, it will steal the crops nearby. It seems that Tianwang's cow has never been on a rope. If it is not so smart, how can Tianwang be so nervous?" What about this ox? You have to take the ox there when you go to Huacheng. Their family spent a lot of money in the fare to get that ox to Huacheng." Xiao Xia who listened to the excitement nodded.

Gao Fengxiang came over: "Are you talking about the excitement?"

"Fengxiang, let me tell you that something strange happened in Hemawan. Meiying and the others heard about it." Xiao Xia quickly reworked what Cao Meiying said just now, and told Gao Fengxiang.

Gao Fengxiang giggled non-stop: "You guys are making up nonsense. How can such a thing happen? The scalper from Tianwang's family followed Tianwang into the mountain yesterday. Later, when Tianwang came back, the scalper might have been lost. Now farming is also a problem. There is no need for the cow anymore, Tianwang has feelings for the cow, and he is not willing to sell the cow. So, he didn’t look for it at all, and let the old scalper fend for itself.”

"Fengxiang, how do you know? Tianwang's cattle are really big. Even if they sell gross weight, they can be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars. Just lost like this?" Cao Meiying couldn't believe it.

Luo Zhigang listened carefully, Luo Tianwang's family no longer wants this cow, if he finds the cow and sells it, he can earn at least tens of thousands of dollars.Although Luo Tianwang's scalper is very old, it looks very strong, and it doesn't look old at all. If it is sold for money, others may not be able to see that it is an old cow.Surely it can be sold for a good price.

"Tianwang, what were you doing in the mountains yesterday? You don't know if you lost the cow?" Luo Zhigang asked.

"Go to pick mushrooms. Tianwang's girlfriend is from the city. She was very interested when she saw our villagers picking mushrooms, so she asked Luo Tianwang to take her to pick mushrooms. The ox followed into the mountain. Maybe Tianwang and his girlfriend I was only focused on picking mushrooms, so I didn't notice that the scalper was lost. I can't blame Tianwang, the scalper usually acts alone. Luo Tianwang didn't take care of it, thinking that the scalper would come back by himself. In the end, he got lost accidentally It's a pity for 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 was looking for scalpers.

Luo Xiaoqing was playing in the yard in the morning, and after hearing the bad things about Luo Zhigang's wife, she hurried over to tell Luo Tianwang.

"Brother Tianwang, Zhigang and his wife are talking bad things about your family behind their backs. They say that there are monsters coming out of your barren hills." Luo Xiaoqing said.

"Really? Let's ignore them. They are practicing feudal superstition." Luo Tianwang laughed.

"Later, Aunt Fengxiang came over and spoke to Zhigang and his wife." Luo Xiaoqing said.

Luo Tianwang nodded: "That's right. Xiao Qing, you sent such a big piece of information, uncle must praise you well. Eat chicken drumsticks at my house today, okay?"

Luo Xiaoqing shook her head: "Grandpa said, if I come to your house to eat again, I won't want me. I'd better not eat your food. Otherwise, my parents won't be able to see me when they come back from the New Year."

Luo Tianwang smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, don't talk to your grandfather. If he doesn't want you, you can live with us. Eat delicious food every day. Make him mad. Okay?"

Luo Xiaoqing shook her head: "The first is filial piety, the second is knowledge. Teacher Li said that we children should learn to respect our 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, but I won't be able to eat any more when I go back. My grandparents will still know about it."

"Then it will be difficult." Luo Tianwang was at his wit's end.

Li Shishi smiled and said: "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 carry the notebooks. Teacher Li is weak, so many books can't be moved." .”

"Okay, I'll get the notebook for Teacher Li later." Luo Xiaoqing then went to the table.

Xiao Chunxiu had already packed Luo Xiaoqing's food and packed a lot of dishes for her.

Before the meal was finished, Luo Guangfu came looking for someone.

"I knew this girl was eating at your house." Luo Guangfu looked helplessly at his granddaughter who was eating very well.

Luo Xiaoqing panicked, she didn't dare to look at her grandfather.

"Guangfu, have you eaten yet? Let's sit down and have a drink. For a while, all of you are delivering food to our house, and you can't win even if you eat it. Come and help us." Luo Baolin pulled Luo Guangfu to his seat.

"Ms. Li taught well, and everyone is grateful. If I don't express it, I'm really sorry." Luo Guangfu said.

"Grandpa Guangfu, don't scold Xiaoqing. In fact, Xiaoqing is very sensible. She refused to keep her for dinner just now. Later, Shishi asked her to eat here, and then helped Shishi bring her notebook to school. , she was willing to stay for dinner. In fact, this child is very sensible, so don't be too strict. Didn't I often go to your house to eat when I was young? The village doesn't want to see me, but you often give me delicious food Yes." Luo Tianwang said.

"It was really not easy when you were young. The days passed so quickly. You grew up in a blink of an eye. Are you going to marry Shishi at the end of the year?" Luo Guangfu asked.

Luo Tianwang nodded: "We'll talk about it after the new house is built and decorated."

"Well, after the new house is built, it will be easier to do things." Luo Guangfu nodded.

After dinner, Li Shishi took Luo Xiaoqing's hand to the village school, and Luo Tianwang went to the rice field.The rice in the paddy field has actually headed. The ears of rice are amazing, a large bunch, and the husks that have just been pulled out are tender green, and some rice flowers have begun to appear on them.This is a very critical moment for rice.Rice is self pollinated by wind pollination.If it is rainy or low temperature, it will seriously affect the quality of pollination.Naturally, it will affect the yield of rice.Therefore, agricultural planting is often dependent on the sky.Investing in agriculture is very risky.But Luo Tianwang was lucky, the weather was fine this time, which was the best time for flowering and pollination.

Luo Guangfu is an experienced old farmer who knows the growth law of rice very well. He came over and immediately said: "Tianwang, your rice production is amazing this year. The rice seedlings are growing well, and the weather is also difficult in this flowering season." Well done. As long as the subsequent management keeps up with the weather and the weather is good, your rice field of dozens of acres will definitely have a bumper harvest. You have so much rice, you must prepare a place to put it in advance. Don’t wait for the harvest to be good, and you have no place to put the millet ah."

Luo Tianwang yelled, he really didn't think of preparing a place to put the millet in advance!

"Grandpa Guangfu, thank you for reminding me this time, otherwise, I would be really devastated." Luo Tianwang laughed.

"Actually, it's not a big problem. When the rice is harvested, many dealers come to the village to collect it. They don't need to dry it, and weigh the millet directly from the rice field. Even if you don't have a granary, there is no problem. But in terms of price, you may suffer a bit. "Luo Guangfu said.

Luo Tianwang smiled and said, "I won't sell my rice so cheaply. I'll contact someone who is a professional granary to build a granary. If you want to build it, build a large granary. It will save you trouble in the future."

"If you are going to do a big job, you still need to build a granary, so that others won't make money." Luo Guangfu didn't know what Luo Tianwang was going to do.

"Whoa!"

The sound of water was heard from time to time in the paddy field. Luo Tianwang pushed aside the rice seedlings, only to see many loaches and black crucian carp swimming around in the water.There are quite a few.The black crucian carp is very big, and the backs of many black crucian carp are out of the water.

These black crucian carp are very wild and like to rush into shallow water from the ditches in the fields.Sometimes, I ran aground directly in shallow water, tossed for a while, and then returned to the ditch.

"It was really cultivated by you. There are quite a lot of loach and crucian carp in it." Luo Guangfu smiled.

"Well. Actually, as long as you don't use pesticides or fertilizers, loach is easy to raise. This black crucian carp has strong vitality and fast reproduction speed. It's easy to succeed." Luo Tianwang really didn't spend much time on this aspect.

"The difficulty lies in not using pesticides and chemical fertilizers. If other people did not use pesticides, the rice would have been ruined long ago. Without chemical fertilizers, the seedlings would not grow at all. Our rice fields are planted too hard, and their fertility has been destroyed. We can only rely on pesticides and fertilizers." Luo Guangfu said helplessly.

"The main reason is that no one dares to farm like me. There are many loaches and fish in the rice fields, which are naturally fertile, and there are fewer insects in the water. There are also frogs. The frogs in my rice fields are in groups, and there are a few insects. It was eaten by frogs. Only diseases are left, and the seedlings are strong and have high natural resistance, so they are not easy to get sick." What Luo Tianwang said seemed to make sense, but in fact he covered up the most important thing.If it weren't for the array he arranged to gather spiritual energy, how could these seedlings grow so strong and not get sick?Fish, frogs, and loaches in rice fields cannot reproduce so fast.

Luo Zhi just entered the mountain, he is very cunning, he has been following the footprints of cattle.The cattle of Luo Tianwang's family are so strong and tall, and the footprints left by them are deeper and clearer than those of ordinary cattle.This provided Luo Zhigang with great convenience.

It's just that in many places the thatch is deep and the leaves are thick, even if a cow steps on it, it may not be able to leave footprints.Therefore, it was not easy for Luo Zhigang to find the direction of the old scalper.
