Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start-Chapter 73 - Endless Rice Fields

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Endless Rice Fields!

Chapter 73 -73: Endless Rice Fields!

The Hailan River flowed gently.

A expanse of lush green rice fields.

It was still midsummer, the rice fields had not yet turned yellow, and they looked very fresh.

In the rice fields, there were some carefully painted rice paddy art, inscribed with the words: “Huaxia Granary.”

Xu Yang parked his motorcycle by the roadside, set down his backpack, launched the drone, and adjusted the live streaming camera.

With nothing better to do, he started the live stream today, visiting the large farm.

The land here was indeed vast, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Crops of various kinds were planted in designated areas.

In some places, tens of thousands of acres were all corn, while others were entirely orchards.

The place Xu Yang arrived at was a rice field.

The live camera clearly captured the scene below.

Xu Yang got back on his motorcycle, slowed down, and meandered along the cement road between the fields.

The viewers streamed in.

[Finally started streaming!]

[Are we going into the mountains today?]

[Wow, where is this? It’s so beautiful!]

[How big is this place?]

As soon as the streaming started, the chat became lively.

Xu Yang’s live streaming career had taken off, he had a group of regular viewers, even without promotions people would watch his streams.

This is the advantage of creating content.

If there were only female streamers who marginally associated themselves with dancing videos, viewers loved watching those videos, they really did not enjoy watching them chat aimlessly on camera, so those streaming rooms did not have many viewers.

The drone flew high and far.

Everyone was surprised to see the endless rice fields, stretching beyond sight.

[Is this all fields?]

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

The scale of Beidahuang was beyond imagination.

Many people did not know that the large farms here had long adopted large-scale mechanized operations, with rice fields connecting into expanses of tens of thousands of acres.

The farm Xu Yang visited wasn’t even that large.

Further north, the farms were even larger.

Xu Yang waited a moment until the number of people in the stream began to increase, then he turned on the microphone and explained:

“Today, we’re visiting one of the large farms nearby.”

“We’ll head over to the viewing platform later to check out the rice paddy art.”

“The Northeast is known as the national granary, with a very high grain output.”

“I’ll let you all experience the foundation of our country’s industry.”

“Look at these fields of rice, how beautiful the scenery is.”

“The air is filled with the fragrance of grains.”

“If only I had this much land, I wouldn’t have to do anything else, just enjoy life every day.”

Xu Yang’s voice broadcasted through the live stream.

Hearing his voice and seeing the vast rice fields, everyone felt their thoughts broaden somewhat.

[Is this rice? Isn’t it that the south grows rice and the north grows wheat?]

[So beautiful, how much grain must it produce!]

[First time seeing such a big field!]

[There are fields like this domestically?]

Everyone responded one after another.

The rice fields here were very orderly, sectioned off in blocks, with cement roads dividing them.

Xu Yang rode along the road.

“The Northeast grows far more rice than wheat, as this region has abundant water resources which are more suitable for rice cultivation; wheat is less suitable here.”

“Rice cultivation here can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, they were growing it back then.”

“Agriculture is continuously developing.”

“I remember that here the rice is now grown alongside shrimp farming, but it’s not permissible to enter the fields, so I can’t really check if there are shrimp.”

Xu Yang explained to everyone.

This kind of farm couldn’t be entered arbitrarily, Xu Yang was allowed in only after registering.

Today was just a visit to see the rice field scenery.

All this was a man-made landscape, specially designed for orderliness, though lacking the wildness of nature, it had gained an artistic beauty.

Many birds were flying to and fro over the rice fields, searching for food.

It all looked vibrant and full of life.

The online viewers quietly appreciated the scenery of the rice fields.

Xu Yang rode his bike to the base of the viewing platform.

The viewing platform was a three-story high stand, and all one had to do was climb the stairs.

He aimed the drone’s camera at the scene in the rice field.

When the viewers saw the painting in the rice field, they were all stunned and speechless in amazement.

The entire rice field resembled a canvas; on one side, several figures were painted looking vibrant and uplifting, in the middle was an aircraft carrier, seemingly on a majestic voyage, and on the right side were two lines of text:

Strong agricultural nation, Huaxia’s granary

Nobody expected such a scene in the rice field.

[What is this? Special effects?]

[Are you sure it’s not special effects?]

[Wow, it’s so beautiful!]

[Looking at this rice field, I don’t know why, but I feel so excited.]

The live broadcast immediately became lively.

Xu Yang parked the motorcycle and walked up the stairs, narrating as he went:

“When I was in college, I told a few of my buddies that our fields are thousands of acres each, and they didn’t believe me, saying I was bragging.”

“After all, in other places, having a few dozen acres is already considered a lot.”

“Then, during one summer vacation, I called them over to our place to hang out.”

“One of my buddies saw this land and was so moved that he almost cried.”

“He too had graduated from a rural area and had never seen such vast stretches of farmland.”

“The feeling you get from watching the live broadcast and seeing it in person is different.”

“Standing here, you can more vividly feel the awe that thousands of acres of rice fields bring.”

“You can also sense the depth of a major agricultural country.”

Xu Yang walked up to the top of the viewing platform and looked down at the rice fields below.

The beautiful rice field landscape was all within view.

The audience in the live broadcast was also immersed in this painting of the rice fields.

Seeing that many people were asking how the rice field painting was made and some were speculating that it had been dyed,

Xu Yang explained with a smile:

“Creating a rice field painting isn’t so complicated; it’s not dyed but rather made up of different colors of rice.”

“It’s quite simple; you just create the desired image on a computer and then mark each spot.”

“Next, you use the Beidou positioning system to set the coordinates in the rice field and mark the positions.”

“Then you plant different colors of rice in different areas.”

“Once they grow, it looks like this.”

“Any large-scale farm has rice field paintings; even if you don’t do it yourself, having someone come over to draw one in the spring is quite convenient.”

Upon hearing Xu Yang say this, everyone had a sudden realization.

Xu Yang stood on the viewing platform, his elbows rested on the stone railing as he gazed at the rice field below.

The breeze was blowing towards him, carrying a slightly astringent scent of rice.

He said nothing more.

The online viewers were admiring the scene, lost in the vastness of the rice fields.

[It’s indeed beautiful; I want to take a walk in it!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen such a vast rice field!]

[This isn’t big; go to Heilongjiang’s Beidahuang, the size of the fields there is even more terrifying.]

[Yes, just the 856 farm in Beidahuang has a cultivated area of 1.02 million mu!]

[How much, over a million mu? Are we now using ten thousands mu as a unit?]

Xu Yang’s live stream opened the doors to a new world for many.

Such vast areas of cultivated land were truly shocking.

Xu Yang said with a smile:

“Beidahuang indeed has vast areas, and the farmers there are workers, who have salaries, pensions, and retirement benefits.”

“We have many such grain farms around here.”

“When it comes harvest time in autumn, all this grain will be taken to the drying grounds. Then, all the farmers will discuss varieties and yield per acre.”

“It’s quite lively.”

He took out his phone and played a piece of background music in the live stream—it was Zhou Jielun’s “Rice Fragrance.”

The melodious tunes began to play, accompanied by the sounds of cicadas and singing, making the view of the rice field painting even more enjoyable.
