Chapter 24 bumper food

It was an afternoon in autumn, by the Wenyu River with lush vegetation. I sat on a horse and painted watercolor sketches. With all the doors open, I leaned back, put my hands behind my head, and enjoyed the "passing wind" passing through the car body. The three of us met by chance on the banks of the Wenyu River.I set up a study in a village not far from the river, and I love to paint landscapes by the river when I am not writing. Not long after Lao Du retired, their dry rest house was located in Tianzhu Town, Hedong. He likes to collect plants, flowers and leaves to make Specimen: Brother Wang is called Mr. Wang by others. He has a small European-style building in the high-end villa area by the river. Sometimes he drives past the Wenyu River and then leaves the road and slides the car into the grass by the river. He says it is "breathing oxygen." , but I judged from his squinting and contemplative expression that he was probably still thinking about business, because he was two rounds younger than me and Lao Du when asked, so we just called him Brother Wang, and he stretched every time. The voice promised, and it looked very listenable.

We met again, and after exchanging warm greetings, we went about our own business.Suddenly hearing the sound of "bleat", a group of sheep, about thirty or forty, moved over following a shepherd.The shepherd is a man in his 40s. We all greeted him, and he stopped and chatted with us.Although I, Lao Du, and Wang Geer introduced ourselves to each other in the question and answer room, we left a lot of room after all, but the shepherd listened to a few simple questions, and when we didn't get to the bottom of it, he asked his family and even The situation in their village is automatically transparent.It turns out that raising such a flock of sheep can earn about 12,000 yuan a year.He said that sheep love to eat meeting food, so they must be thrown out of the pen every day for stocking.The same plants, if you cut them and put them in the pen to feed them, they don't like to eat them, and they have to walk and forage by themselves, so that they are fragrant and happy.Of course, after winter, the remaining breeding sheep can only be bred in captivity and fed the stored feed, and the risk is particularly high, not to mention getting sick, even anorexia, poor appetite, and unwillingness to mate, which is annoying enough.

The flock of sheep happily looked for the sweet and sweet food, and gradually went away, and the shepherd said goodbye to us and followed.The setting sun wrapped my body, warm and crisp, I finished the painting, Lao Du clamped the specimen, Wang Geer got out of the car to look at the painting and the specimen, the three of them chatted, and expressed their emotions from the meeting food. I said that when a writer writes, it is best to get nutrition from "meeting food".There is a famous writer in Argentina named Borges, who has been working in the library for a long time, read a lot of books, and imagined. Almost all of his novels are inspired by "circle food". Although they are weird and exquisite, they lack the pulse of the times and life.For many years, many people said that he deserved the Nobel Prize in Literature, but until his sudden death a few years ago, he still missed the award, but someone like Günter Grass who loves to eat "meeting food" is willing to follow the development of reality Although the writers who follow the trajectory and capture fresh materials are very controversial, they can "win the toad palace".Of course, awards are not the criterion for judging the achievements of writers. From the perspective of readers, cabbages and radishes have their own preferences. My favorite literary creation is mainly the product of eating "meeting food".

But Lao Du said, don't mention "meeting food", when he was in office, he ate "meeting food" all day long. This meal is a banquet for others, and that meal is a banquet for others. He listens to the secretary's reminder on where to eat, which is a "working meal." , often have to be picked up by the driver and introduced by the secretary to know where the reservation is made. It is rare to have a "circle meal" at home all year round.It wasn't until after I retired that I realized that "circle food" is more delicious than any fresh seafood and French meals. The round "general belly" formed by eating "meet food" repeatedly is now relying on "circle food" and walking to collect plants. Only when the specimen is calmed down can a profile photo be taken.

Brother Wang laughed after hearing what we said, saying that you two old men may not be able to guess my thoughts.He said that for him, the key to grasping his career is not only to have enough "circle food", but also to be good at eating "meeting food".In economics, if there is no "encirclement", it will become a "leather bag company", and if there is no "encirclement food", you can only think about "empty hands and white wolves" all day long. Not only will it be difficult to succeed, but it will easily lead to disaster.But you can’t become a “strong man” if you only know “guarding the circle” and only relying on “quantity food”. You must also be good at eating “meeting food”, that is, you must never miss the opportunity, and you must bring dew and fold flowers to keep it fresh .He said that economic activities are speculative to a certain extent. It is true that eating "meeting food" is a kind of speculation, but speculation must be within the scope determined by the "rules of the game". Sheep naturally know what can be eaten and what is poisonous. Zhan, economical people do not have the "instinct" to eat "meeting food", so they have to be honed in practice and mature in the years... After a while, Lao Du and I were dumbfounded.

That night, I checked my watercolor sketch under the lamp in the study. There were sheep foraging among the wormwood under the willow forest.
