Xianyuan Farm

A few days ago, I read some news about the Great Bustard. This bird is now endangered and extinct. In reality, we can only watch it die, and we can only fantasize about it in the novel!

…………………………

After chatting with Gu Hongyu for a while, several experts gathered around the lake, expecting the appearance of a big fish. However, they would never know that the fish would never come out of the water again after Gu Hongyu's instructions, so until noon, the group of people still got nothing.

The secretary was very dedicated. Seeing that the sun was hanging in the sky at noon, he ran to the wooden house and said enviously when he saw Gu Hongyu lying comfortably on the rocking chair and taking a nap: "Brother Gu, I really envy your leisurely life!"

"Oh, Brother Wei, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Hongyu asked with his eyes opened. Through the previous conversation, he knew that the young secretary's surname was Wei, but that was all.

Secretary Wei stated his purpose straight away: "Brother Gu, it's already noon, can you arrange some food here? Don't worry, we will pay for it."

Gu Hongyu laughed and said, "Forget it, seeing that you have taken the trouble to come here, and the experts are not young anymore, how can I still charge you money? Today is my treat, and we will settle it later!"

"This..., Brother Gu, I will be disrespectful to refuse!" Secretary Wei did things very straightforwardly, without any hesitation or hesitation.

"It's just a meal, there are only five of you, it's not a big deal?" Gu Hongyu said generously.

As a result, the lunch at noon conquered the experts and Secretary Wei again. The experts were a little hesitant to eat because they were concerned about their face, but Secretary Wei, who was only a few years older than Gu Hongyu, didn't care about these things. While eating, he kept giving Gu Hongyu a thumbs up.

Secretary Wei was so full that he took a walk by the lake under the scorching sun after dinner. The other experts were not much better. Although they maintained their manners, they couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice than usual. Fortunately, Gu Hongyu prepared a lot of chairs after entertaining guests from the town last time, and the experts all lay comfortably in them.

"Xiao Gu, why are these vegetables so delicious?" An expert asked curiously after taking a sip of tea.

Facing the experts, Gu Hongyu didn't dare to answer like he would to the villagers, but he had a plan in mind: "This kind of vegetables is equivalent to organic vegetables. They are all grown in greenhouses, and farmyard manure is used. In addition, they are carefully managed at ordinary times. The quality must be much better than ordinary ones."

"I see, I said that this vegetable tastes special and must be special. I must buy some when I leave." Professor Qin said.

Professor Li thought for a moment and asked, "The vegetables we ate today are not cheap, right? We haven't seen such vegetables sold in the city?"

"I sell these vegetables directly to Hong Kong. The average price of several vegetables is about 14 yuan. The price will increase according to the market in the future!" Gu Hongyu replied calmly.

However, this news surprised several experts: "Ah, direct sales are wholesale prices. This is 14 yuan. If you buy it directly from Hong Kong, I don't know how much the retail price is. Such vegetables are really unaffordable!"

Gu Hongyu shook his head: "There is no way. The cost of growing organic vegetables is high now. Even if there is a problem with such large-scale planting, there is still a risk of loss!"

In this regard, Gu Hongyu will definitely not tell the truth to several experts. After listening to them, considering the current situation, they really think what Gu Hongyu said, but Professor Qin, who was planning to take away some vegetables and buy them back, never mentioned buying vegetables again.

Gu Hongyu saw this and guessed that many experts were from relatively poor families. Even if they had no worries about food and clothing, they could not afford to be particular. This was the true portrayal of many capable and cultured experts. Only such experts could be respected. He made up his mind to give some to the experts before they left.

The gold bricks in the afternoon would not appear. If he followed his previous mentality, Gu Hongyu would not bother to care about this matter. However, after changing his attitude towards these experts at noon, he would not let them continue to wait in vain.

Hesitantly, Gu Hongyu suggested: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, the big fish has appeared continuously in the past few days. If it had not appeared this morning, I think it would not have been picked out in the afternoon."

"Oh, Xiao Gu is very clear about this matter?" asked Mr. Qin.

Gu Hongyu still had some questions, but he nodded at the local question: "Yes, I have seen it occasionally a few times. The big fish usually appears in the morning."

Hearing Gu Hongyu's answer, several experts sighed with regret, probably complaining about their bad luck in their hearts.

Seeing this, Gu Hongyu said, "Aren't you interested in wild animals? There is a large swamp opposite this big lake, and there are long reed marshes by the lake. If you go there, you may find the wild animals you are interested in."

"Oh, so, Xiao Gu, have you been there?" Expert Liu asked.

Gu Hongyu nodded, and Expert Liu continued to ask, "What did you find?"

"There are many species in it. There are many birds in the reed marshes, and there are many small puddles in the swamps. We found wild fish and swamp turtles in the puddles. I also saw other wild animals at the edge of the swamp, such as antelopes and wild deer." Gu Hongyu did not hold back and told what he saw and heard last time he went to the swamp.

"Really?"

"You read it right!"

"Is there such a place?"

"Even if we don't see big fish this time, it's not in vain!"

Several experts said these words almost at the same time, which scared Secretary Wei who was walking outside to digest food. He thought something happened and ran in quickly.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Gu Hongyu nodded again: "Really, we only went there for a short time last time, and we didn't know many birds. It didn't take long for us to go back home."

"Quick, Xiao Wei, go and get ready, we will go there as Xiao Gu said!" As soon as Gu Hongyu finished speaking, Professor Qin began to give orders. Professor Qin was considered a leader in the village.

……

On the way to the swamp, several professors could naturally see Gu Hongyu's business in the small village, one by one, more than 2 meters high vegetable greenhouses, a melon field with endless growth, and a large circle of lambs surrounded by iron fences, all of which moved them.

"Xiao Gu, this is a big deal, the investment amount is not small, right?" asked Liu, the only female expert among the experts.

Gu Hongyu just smiled at this question. He didn't want to tell others the specific investment amount: "It's not much, just tens of thousands!"

But the people inside were not stupid. They all saw that Gu Hongyu was not sincere. They didn't ask any more questions, but they repositioned themselves in their hearts towards Gu Hongyu.

If they had treated Gu Hongyu as a junior and taken advantage of their seniority before, then from now on they could only put Gu Hongyu on an equal footing.

Secretary Wei and Gu Hongyu were the only ones who had no estrangement among them. Perhaps because they were close in age, Secretary Wei shouted as they walked past the vegetable greenhouse and melon field: "Brother Gu, where are the swamps and reed marshes you mentioned? How far is it?"

It was really difficult for him. Several professors were old and many of their instruments were carried by Secretary Wei. Fortunately, they could carry them by car when they entered the village, but here they had to rely on manpower to carry them. Gu Hongyu smiled and went over to help him move some photographic equipment and said: "It's only a few miles away, and we've already gone more than halfway."

With Gu Hongyu's help, Secretary Wei's burden was greatly reduced. The group talked and laughed, and it didn't take much time to reach the small hill where they met Yuanbao.

Just like the scene when Gu Hongyu first saw the swamp, the experts and professors were stunned by the scenery in front of them. At this time of autumn, the plants in the reed marshes began to turn yellow, which made autumn seem closer than the relatively green and abundant grass next to them. A wide swamp next to the reed marshes was very quietly distributed on this land.

"I didn't know there was such a place in a small village under the jurisdiction of my city?" Professor Li said in amazement.

Unexpectedly, expert Zhang standing next to him said: "I know this place, but I didn't expect the actual landscape to be so fascinating. The area is more intuitive than the numbers in my head."

"Let's go down and take a look. Xiao Gu, where did you enter from last time?" Professor Qin gave an order and asked Gu Hongyu for his opinion.

Gu Hongyu pointed in the direction of the reed marsh: "Last time, I and others went in this direction, and we walked into the reed marsh."

"Then why don't you continue to lead us this time?" Professor Qin asked politely.

"No problem at all."

According to the last route, everyone soon arrived at the reed marsh that Gu Hongyu approached last time, and also startled a group of flying birds. Fortunately, nothing happened during the period, and Gu Hongyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, there are so many species of flying birds here, and the number of birds is huge!" Professor Li exclaimed immediately.

"Xiao Gu, did you guys get here last time?" Professor Qin asked hurriedly.

"Yes, we didn't go any further because of time constraints." Gu Hongyu replied.

"Then let's take our equipment and set up the camera to observe what kind of birds there are here." Professor Qin instructed everyone.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a large group of birds flew towards the reed marsh. The group flew very low. Gu Hongyu could clearly see that they were all quite large, with a wingspan of more than 50 cm. They hovered on the top of a reed bush for a while and soon disappeared into the reed marsh.

At this time, expert Liu shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, this is a great bustard, this is really a great bustard, I didn't expect to see so many great bustards here!" Gu Hongyu found Liu's incoherent speech funny, but other experts followed with excitement and asked: "Are you sure that the group that just flew down are all great bustards?" "Yes, isn't it said that this kind of bird is endangered?" "If that's the case, I'm afraid this place will never be peaceful in the future!" Upon hearing this, the other experts were stunned for a moment. Yes, if rare birds appear here, many bird lovers will come here from thousands of miles away, and there will be investigations and research. Then this paradise may bring harm to the bird flocks here as more humans come. Without the excitement at the beginning, everyone was a little dull. Finally, Professor Qin said: "Don't worry about the future. Now let's count the number of great bustards. This is a rare opportunity!" Yes, as an endangered bird, great bustards must be counted and protected well. r1152...
