Yang Yongge's Pastoral Conspiracy

"Yang Yongge's Pastoral "Trick": The Retired Old Man's Thirty-Six Strategies for Farming" After retirement, Yang Yongge moved "Thirty-Six Strategies" into Banqi vegetable garden. Others grow vegetables based on experience, but he relies on "strategies" to fight weeds, prevent chickens from pecking, and control vegetable insects, and he has put a thousand years of strategy into practice. Weeds growing wildly? He used "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron" and planted fast-growing radish vines to occupy the territory and make the weeds "hungry" and wither away; Uncle Zhang's chickens always pecked at the vegetable seedlings, so he "scattered grain to distract the chickens"; even the cabbage bugs had countermeasures - "beauty trap" put out marigolds, the bright colors of which made the bugs detour. The "secret battle" between neighbors in farming is even more ingenious: Aunt Li likes to beg for vegetables, but he is "pretend to be crazy" and deliberately puts the melons and jujubes in a crooked position, then turns around and quietly stuffs the good-looking ones into the opponent's basket; Uncle Zhang competes with the size of radish, and he "watches from the other side", waiting for the other party to over-fertilize and cause the radish to crack, and then slowly shares the secret of "thinning seedlings to ensure yield". When "hiding from the sky" means setting up a shade net for the vegetable seedlings, and "waiting for work" means squatting in the shade of a tree to watch the vegetables grow, Yang Yongge finally understood: the thirty-six strategies are not calculations, but the life wisdom of his ancestors - farming is like living a life, knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to hide the dew, only then can you grow a crop of crops with stability and joy.
