slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 176

Cang Hai was a little speechless, and was picked up from the bed by the teacher and Qu Guowei two old men early in the morning, and treated like a strong man, but he still couldn't get angry.

The two old men didn't sleep much, and they slept from ten o'clock last night to five o'clock in the morning, which is naturally enough, but Cang Hai is a young man. It won't be enough either.

It's like the current Cang Hai sitting on the shaft of the car and yawning from time to time, and then watching the two old men go crazy about a pond and woods, or standing on the top of the slope, reciting two lines of ancient poems. They are just like two big poets. Note that it is Li Sao's Sao, not Coquettish Sao.

"Wonderland on earth, fairyland on earth, Canghai, your place is truly a fairyland on earth, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is pleasant. Who would have thought that there is such a beautiful scenery hidden in this desolate valley..." Standing on the slope, Guan Qidong put his hands on his hips and exclaimed loudly to his apprentice in high spirits.

Cang Hai stretched out his hands to close his ears, and opened his mouth to reply loudly: "Teacher, as long as you like it!"

After speaking, he yawned a lot, and wanted to lie on the scooter to catch up on sleep.

Qu Guowei also laughed haha, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted loudly at Gu Li: "Oh hoo!"

As the old man walked and roared, there were echoes from the valley soon, and the hoo hoo rippling like ripples in the water.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Cang Hai slandered in his heart: How old is he, but still looks like a child, so childish.

Moo!Moo!
Baa!Baa!
Qu Guowei's old man's voice had just dissipated in the valley, and then the yelling of cattle and sheep sounded again in the valley.

Hearing the calls of the cattle and sheep, Cang Hai patted his head, and opened his mouth and said: "Hey, I was interrupted by two people, and I forgot the business."

As he spoke, Cang Hai stretched out his toes, and lightly kicked the ugly donkey's ass: "Go, go to the shack."

The ugly donkey who was grazing raised its head, pulled the cart with its four calves and started running, and soon arrived at a small wooden shed.

When Cang Hai saw the place, he immediately jumped off the cart, stretched out his hand to remove the salt mine blocks from the cart, and put them one by one into the stone trough in the shed.

The shed is specially built to feed salt to cattle and sheep. The original salt blocks in the stone trough inside have been licked by sheep and cattle, leaving only some small pieces. Cang Hai threw a few pieces of salt ore into it. In the salt tank, the cattle and sheep have stretched out to surround the whole small wooden shed.

"Go away, one and the other are all foodies, and they haven't grown much after eating so much salt." Cang Hai drove the flock of sheep and cattle aside, and then he got on the cart and signaled The ugly donkey turned his head, ready to go to the teacher and Qu Guowei.

After walking for a while, he saw two old men coming towards him.

"Didn't you two want to see the melon fields? Why did you come here?" Cang Hai stopped the ugly donkey and asked loudly.

Guan Qidong replied loudly: "I've seen it, don't you hear the cows calling, come and have a look."

"Oh!" Cang Hai had nothing to say, so he had to wait here for the two old men to come.

Qu Guowei and Guan Qidong came to the side of Canghai, looked at the herd of cattle and sheep waiting around the wooden shed for a long time, and then asked: "You have raised so many cattle and sheep?"

"It's not much. I'm thinking of raising some more next year. Now these are nothing to this place. Even if the cattle and sheep are tripled, the grassland here can support it," Cang Hai said.

Tens of thousands of acres of land, if all the ditches and slopes are spread out, I am afraid that the area will be doubled. Now there are only these cattle and sheep, and there is no pressure on the grassland at all. I haven’t seen many places where the grass is almost overgrown. Knees down.

Qu Guowei said: "How much income can cattle and sheep earn in a year?"

After hearing this, Cang Hai said, "I might sell some if there are more in the future, but now I eat it myself."

"Just because your family eats so many cattle and sheep in a year?" Qu Guowei looked at Cang Hai and asked in surprise.

Cang Hai replied: "Not all cattle and sheep can be eaten. For example, ewes and cows are reserved for breeding. This year, there are only three or four cows and fifty or sixty sheep that can be eaten."

"Is that less?"

Qu Guowei still nodded when he heard the first half, but he immediately looked at Cang Hai and rolled his eyes after hearing it.

"Don't look at me like that, don't look at me so much, when the Chinese New Year arrives, you have to send a few from the city, my uncle's family has one, and there are a few friends, let's not say one, I have to give away some, this adds up to a dozen sheep and there will be no more sheep, and one will be slaughtered in the remaining month, and it will take about twelve or three..." Cang Hai began to count with his fingers.

Qu Guowei immediately interrupted Cang Hai's words: "Oh, don't forget it, I think you are a prodigal son."

After thinking about it for a while, the old man said: "Bring me two sheep when the Chinese New Year comes. Your mutton is so delicious, don't worry, Qu Bo, I won't take advantage of you and give you money."

"What are you talking about, I will send your share to the teacher's house when the time comes," Cang Hai said.

Guan Qidong said at this time: "Don't give away so much during the Chinese New Year. You don't know that there are only three people in my family. If I didn't give some to others last year, I wouldn't be able to eat them all."

Guan Qidong still has a good face in the eyes of the neighbors around him. Although Guan Qidong doesn't value this too much, but every time Cang Hai comes to the house and moves this boxful of things to the house, which teacher would not be greedy, who would not It is said that Guan Qidong taught a good student.

Now universities are almost all market-oriented, and professors will secretly hide signs, such as how much money you make outside, what kind of company you have established, Guan Qidong is not afraid of comparing with the status of the rivers and lakes, it is possible to compare money It's a little worse, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing at home.Only Canghai made Guan Qidong proud.

Now not only the teacher looks at the money, but the students also talk about their interests. If there is nothing to do, they run to the teacher's house. In all likelihood, they just want to get something. If they give away a lot of things, they will go to the Three Treasures Hall if they have nothing to do. , Maybe something troublesome will fall on my head.

But Canghai's side is different, Guan Qidong rushed to let him take the postgraduate entrance examination and he didn't do it, the gift was purely out of respect for Guan Qidong and his wife.As soon as the news spread through the envious couple at the opposite door, Guan Qidong felt that he had a good face, and he taught a student who was grateful. Which teacher in the school did not secretly envy him.

"If you can't eat it, you can keep it and give it away. Your relatives over there will give some, and the relatives over Mrs. Shi's side will also give some. Besides, it's a custom on our side to give away a whole sheep, on behalf of me. Respect for you, half a sheep is not justified, how can you give half a sheep as a New Year gift to your teacher's family," Cang Hai said.

Guan Qidong smiled and shook his head.

Cang Hai opened his mouth again and said, "Are you two hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Qu Guowei said: "Don't tell me, I'm really hungry."

After hearing this, Cang Hai took out the small stove from the car and started to cook breakfast. The breakfast was also simple. He put a few handfuls of rice into the pot, added water and boiled it directly.

While the porridge was cooking, Cang Hai found three or four crabs caught in the shrimp cage yesterday from the bag on the cart. The four crabs were still quite vigorous, so he took the crabs to the river to wash them. , and then lifted the lid with a knife to remove the gill hair, Cang Hai chopped it into two or three pieces with a knife, waited for all the crabs to be cut, Cang Hai threw the crab pieces into the pot, and added a little salt , Cover the pot and cook directly.

I walked around the neighborhood, found some wild vegetables that were in season, grabbed a handful of them, went to the river to clean them, and threw them into the pot when it was boiling.

Turn off the fire and wait for three to four minutes, and a pot of delicious crab porridge is ready.

Qu Guowei said to Cang Hai while slurping the delicious crab porridge: "If a girl from any family marries you, she will have a comfortable life. Not to mention anything else, just this skill, and here's The output can hold the girl's stomach tightly."

Hearing what Qu Guowei said, Guan Qidong remembered what his wife said to him last night, so he asked, "Cang Hai, is Master your girlfriend?"

"No, didn't I tell you that my girlfriend is a policeman and is in charge of economic crimes?" Cang Hai didn't think much about it, and answered the teacher's question truthfully.

"I see that you haven't contacted people all day long. Did you two quarrel?" Guan Qidong asked again.

Cang Hai replied: "It's nothing at all. She is really busy. She is either in meetings or on business trips all day long. There is almost no time for rest."

"Oh!"

At this point, Guan Qidong stopped asking.

"Wait until the meal is over. Teacher, where are you going to paint, Qu Bo, where are you going to choose the fishing spots?" Seeing that the teacher was silent, Cang Hai asked.

After hearing this, Guan Qidong said: "I'm going to put the easel over there on the soil slope over there, just in the shade."

Seeing Cang Hai looking at him, Qu Guowei said, "I'm free to catch a leisurely fish, and I'll go pick fish later."

After waiting for the meal, Cang Hai was in charge of washing the dishes, while Guan Qidong and Qu Guowei were busy with their own work. Guan Qidong picked an angle and set up an easel to start painting watercolors, while Qu Guowei found When I was satisfied with the fishing spot, I pulled out the fishing rod and started fishing.

Cang Hai set up a tent and prepared to sleep for a while.

As soon as he set up the tent and got in, he heard the teacher call him Cang Hai had to get out of the tent again and came to the teacher's side.

"Look at how my painting is doing." Guan Qidong circled his drawing paper, then pointed to the scenery in front of him and asked.

Cang Hai stood beside the easel, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "Teacher, you have improved again."

"Proficiency lies in diligence and waste in play," Guan Qidong said while continuing to paint.

Cang Hai admires the professionalism of the teacher from the bottom of his heart. Everyone of the older generation is really focused on skills, but in the eyes of many architects in the society, they run projects after making money, and their words far outweigh their hands. The kung fu is invincible in the world, but they are powerless in practice. Without giving them a book to copy, they can't even grasp the size of the building they designed by themselves, let alone other things.

Especially in basic skills or learning new knowledge, most of them are far behind these older generations.

However, the whole society is impetuous, not only the construction, but also a common social problem. Otherwise, there would be no such slogan as the spirit of craftsman.

After arresting Cang Hai, Guan Qidong educated him again, telling Cang Hai to learn more and not to dawdle like this.

Cang Hai naturally complied, but it's hard to say whether to do it or not.
