In the end, it was Shen Qiansan who solved the puzzle, "The coach said to the student, because I have to correct your wrong movements first, and then teach you the correct movements."

Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu were both stunned, but after thinking about it, it was true.

When a master teaches an apprentice, it is easy to teach him with a blank slate, and he will learn whatever you teach him. However, those who have learned halfway have already had some related thinking and habits. Even if the master teaches him the correct movements, it is difficult for him to change his old habits, and it is very troublesome to correct them.

After all, developing new habits takes time and requires tremendous perseverance.

This means that the coach has to spend more time and effort, so it is reasonable to charge double the fee.

Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu were both smart people, and they quickly understood what Shen Qiansan meant.

Tang Mingzhu said, "Third brother, you mean that the infrastructure in the city has already formed a certain scale. If we build it according to your ideas, the cost will be too high, right?"

Zhao Hanyu added: "It's not just a matter of higher investment costs, but also involves a lot of formalities and relationships, which also require energy and money."

Seeing that the two understood so quickly, Shen Qiansan smiled slightly, pointed at the streets of Baiguo Township, and said as if pointing out a river and a mountain: "That's right, you see, this place is almost like a land reclamation, it's much easier to move than in the city."

Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu both nodded.

Shen Qiansan said: "Of course, even if this is the truth, when we actually plan, we still have to make long-term and scientific plans based on the actual situation. The principle is overall planning and phased construction. Only in this way can we use the minimum investment and get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost."

Tang Mingzhu asked: "What are the specific steps?"

Shen Qiansan said: "I do have an idea. Since you are here, let's take a look together first. I will draw the first draft later and you can take a look at it together then."

So, under the leadership of Shen Qiansan, the three of them wandered around Baiguo Township.

In winter, there are not many crops in the fields. What you can see are patches of radishes, cabbages, etc.

Walking in the fields, Tang Mingzhu's eyes lit up as she looked at the radishes and cabbages. She said, "There are so many vegetables! And they are all growing so well!"

The three of them had been walking around for a while and were a little thirsty. Zhao Hanyu looked around but didn't see anyone, so he said, "I'll go pick some radishes."

As he said this, he went down to the field, picked up a few large white radishes, pulled them up and brought them back. The green radishes were wet and there was fresh yellow mud on the bottom of the radishes.

He handed one to Shen Qiansan and Tang Mingzhu respectively, and said, "It looks good, try it!"

Tang Mingzhu happily took it and asked, "Do you have a knife?"

Zhao Hanyu was stunned, "No!"

Tang Mingzhu asked, "How can we eat without a knife?"

Zhao Hanyu scratched his head, feeling somewhat troubled, and could not help but look at Shen Qiansan.

Shen Qiansan smiled, tore off the radish and used it to clean the yellow mud on the radish neatly. After throwing the radish on the side of the road, he looked around and found a relatively sharp stone. He lifted the radish and knocked it against the sharp stone. The long radish broke into two pieces.

Shen Qiansan didn't want the root part either, and threw it next to Luo Bo Yin, saying, "This part doesn't taste good, just eat the part below."

Refers to the part with radish greens.

As he said this, he took a bite of the half white radish, quickly spat out a piece of radish skin smoothly, and then began to chew it happily.

Does this work too?

Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu are both city dwellers. They grew up in the city and have eaten raw radishes.

But that was only at home, when I peeled the radish with a knife. I had never eaten raw radish like this before.

But now that he had no knife, he just followed suit. He first plucked a handful of radish and wiped the mud off it, then broke the radish on the stone and ate it like Shen Qiansan did.

The freshly pulled radish is tender and juicy. It tastes icy, sweet and slightly spicy when you bite it.

But it's really delicious.

But Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu were not like Shen Qiansan. They threw the radish leaves that were covered in mud and the upper half of the radish that had been knocked off randomly on the side of the road. They didn't put them together and started eating them impatiently.

When Shen Qiansan saw this, he took the initiative to pick up the half-cut radish and radish leaves that the two had dropped, and then took them to the place where he had placed the half-cut radish and radish leaves.

Tang Mingzhu chewed the radish happily and asked in confusion, "Third brother, why did you pick them together?"

Shen Qiansan said: "Don't waste it!"

Tang Mingzhu asked, "Is there anyone else coming to pick it up?"

Shen Qiansan said: "Of course, the owner of this farm will come to the farm to pick radishes this afternoon, and he will pick them up and take them home when he sees them."

Tang Mingzhu said, "It's already so dirty, what can you do with it if you take it home? Are you going to eat it?"

"Of course!" Shen Qiansan said with a smile: "It's just for pigs to eat."

When Tang Mingzhu heard that the radish in her hand was actually for pigs, she immediately said, "I can't even eat such a good radish in Jiangcheng, so you're just giving it to pigs?"

A look of disbelief.

Zhao Hanyu felt it was a pity and said, "It would be nice if we could sell such good radishes in the city."

It was only 1991, transportation was inconvenient, and people in rural areas did not yet buy vegetables. They planted radishes and cabbages for their own consumption and more often as pig food.

After listening to Tang Mingzhu and Zhao Hanyu's words, Shen Qiansan nodded and said, "You are right. It is a pity that such good radishes are eaten by pigs."

After a pause, he continued, "But it's not realistic to teach farmers to sell vegetables in the city now."

Tang Mingzhu couldn't help but ask: "Why is it unrealistic?"

Shen Qiansan said: "Transportation, price, etc. are all reasons, but more importantly, pigs also need to be eaten!"

In this era, pigs were raised in rural areas but were rarely fed with feed. Sweet potatoes, radishes, and potatoes were the staple foods for pigs.

This only works when the fields are producing. If there is a shortage of food, people have to cut grass by the fields and on the mountains and bring it back to feed the pigs.

There is not even enough to feed the pigs, so where do the farmers get the extra to sell?

This is also the reason why Shen Qiansan packed up the things he didn't want to eat and put them together.

It can't be wasted.

He still remembered the hard work of collecting grass for pigs when he was a child, and he also thought of that time.

Every afternoon when I got home from school, the first thing I did was not to do my homework, but to collect grass for the pigs, chop it up and feed it to the pigs.

Pigs can be fed raw or cooked.

Shen Qiansan's family just cooks the food and feeds it. There are three pots on his stove. There is a medium-sized pot on the left for frying vegetables, a small pot in the middle for cooking rice, and an extra-large pot on the right for cooking pig food.

It takes a lot of time to boil such a big pot of pig feed, at least an hour.

Seeing that Shen Qiansan suddenly stopped talking, Tang Mingzhu asked: "Third brother, what are you thinking about!"

Shen Qiansan came back to his senses and said, "I remembered some things from my childhood, and I was also thinking about you guys. I think there should be something to do again."
