Chapter 192
Fangzheng had no plans on doing the farming at the foot of the mountain . The Crystal Rice was precious and it would take a lot of effort to tend to it at the bottom of the mountain . He wouldn't be able to keep as close of an eye on it if he planted at the foot of the mountain . Most importantly, the cultivation of the Crystal Rice needed Buddha's aura and scripture recital . None of those would be found at the bottom .
After having lunch at noon, he continued the irrigation in the afternoon . Fangzheng finished everything just before the sky turned dark . He had also begun planting the seeds .
At that moment, the film crew also noticed the changes over here . When they saw Fangzheng carrying buckets of water up the mountain, irrigating the tiny plot of land, forming puddles of water, they were fascinated .
Lin Dongshi came over and asked curiously, "Venerable Fangzheng, what are you doing? Making a reservoir?"
Luo Li laughed . "That's impossible . It's difficult to store water on the mountain . "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and gave a Buddhist proclamation . "This Penniless Monk isn't making a reservoir but is planning on opening up a plantation on the mountain . "
"Eh . . . " Old Tao, who had been silent, could not help but laugh . "Venerable Fangzheng, I bet you haven't done any farming before, am I right?" It's so cold and you want to farm? All those seeds of yours will freeze to death . It's still not the time for them to germinate . Venerable Fangzheng, what are you planning on planting?"
Lin Dongshi asked, "That's right . This area freezes up at night . Any seeds will die . If you really want to farm, shouldn't you do it in a large greenhouse tentage or any similar building that will aid the plants growth?"
Fangzheng smiled, "Forget about the tentage . This Penniless Monk does not have the money . This Penniless Monk is planting paddy rice . As for solutions, This Penniless Monk will give it further thought . "
"Hehe, you sure are a stubborn monk . Fine, forget about our advice . If this field can produce anything, my name will be read backwards . " Luo Li rolled his eyes . He found the young monk amusing . At the same time, the monk did not seem to be able to know chalk from cheese . Their well-meant advice had fallen on deaf ears . Give it further thought? How was he to do any farming without a tentage in early spring? It would be useless even if the world's experts were gathered here . They guessed the monk would not come up with anything even if he thought about it for a decade .
Just as the trio wanted to continue, someone ran over and summoned them under the director's bequest . Without having enough time to waste it on Fangzheng, they returned to their jobs .
The film crew bustled but Fangzheng was equally busy . He went up and down to the river, fetching water . He did not stop once .
When the film crew found some free time, Old Tao, Lin Dongshi, and Luo Li would mention Fangzheng's hopes of planting paddy in March .
When everyone heard that, they were rendered speechless . Someone commented, "Perhaps he plans on preparing the land, get some water, and start planting when the temperature gets warmer?"
"That makes sense . Old Tao, I think you guys are overthinking things . Scattering the seeds in such weather? If he's not a retard, he's a retard's mother . Basically, he can't be that far off from a retard," remarked another person .
Old Tao thought for a few seconds . "That might be the case"
"Old Tao, look! What is that monk doing, bending his back in the water? He has a bag in his hand too . " Luo Li cupped his hands around his eyes and looked into the distance .
When everyone heard that, they stopped whatever they doing . Standing up like a row of weasels, they stretched their necks and looked into the distance .
They saw Fangzheng take out something from the bag and stuff it into the water .
"From the looks of it, he's planting the seeds," said Old Tao .
"Oh my, there's really such a retard?" the person who made the retard comment sighed .
"He's just too young after all . He lacks general knowledge," said Old Tao .
"Good advice falls on deaf ears . Benevolence does not help those who do not help themselves . We have already said what should be said . Since he insists on it, let him be," said Luo Li .
Everyone shrugged their shoulders and agreed before they continued working .
When Old Tao saw Director Yu, he informed him about Fangzheng . He hoped that the director could earn a laugh out of it .
The result . . .
