Chapter 98
The s.h.i.+re, Dilshadu, like Suhrab, were technicians, machines, although they gained mental consciousness, they could not creatively invent some kind of pranks. They acted strictly according to the program. There is a standard, and work is being carried out on it. Everything is clean, clear and understandable. No lyrics!
Over the past two days, to the surprise of Dara, the field has already sprouted, and instead of clearly sown squares of garden crops, one could see some smooth lines, circles. How to clean it?
Obviously someone intervened!!!! What for??? A chill crept into Dara's soul, he seems to have guessed who it was... Feng Shui couldn't do it. And this means that this someone was originally from China!!!
The younger and older sisters only chuckled at their grown eyes and with a frozen face in their misunderstanding of the situation.
Feng Shui gives the correct arrangement of plants in this case, according to the energy meridians. But for Dar, it was a shock!
It's good that Little Leah wasn't here, otherwise, she would have had something else from a weirdo! Women do not understand their logic! But this is the subtleties of gender psychology, and Dara did not begin to develop this topic so that he would not be accused of s.e.xism! Yes, while Dara lived in a post of socialism in the world, immediately with the transition to feudalism and traditionalism, the world went somewhere very far away. At the same time, the world again suffered a mistake, a crisis of consciousness began. But in this jungle of philosophy, Dara did not want to climb. He was distracted by third-party money-making and abandoned the farm. But on the other hand, money is always good, they allow you to move forward, save lives. give hope, develop and not stagnate! A farmer always needs a lot of money! Money is never enough!
As Russians say, wise people - happiness is not in money! And in their quant.i.ty! This is sarcasm, but there is some truth in it.
Before the eyes of Dara, there was a picture painted by seedlings.
Green, yellowish, aquamarine - the painting depicted a rock garden.
Dara, there was a gesture, hand-face.
2 hectares and 40 acres... they all planted not as Dara wanted. The sisters made adjustments to his plans; they were not obedient p.a.w.ns. On the other hand, they knew life better than the young maximalist! They knew nature! With agriculture, you need to be sympathetic, this is not a technique, you need ingenuity and knowledge of water, land, energy distribution.
Now on its land, root crops of parsnip, chicory, parsley grew. Artichoke and pumpkin, watermelon. Shrubs of blackcurrant, luffa strawberries, tomatoes, petiole celery, potatoes.
As well as several dozen trees of cherries, apricots and pears. The first fruits they had to give only a year later.
Several bushes of roses - pink, red, white, lime.
And that's all...
... this is not what Dara was counting on, he was thinking about numbers, calculating productivity, how much money he would get. And the sisters decided everything for him.
The crisis dictated its rules of the game.
Dara was in shock. Now he did not know the number of sown acres. Everything had to be reviewed!
On the other hand, Suhrab told him that all the data has already been entered into the laptop.
From shock, the willfulness of mental ent.i.ties, Dara lost sight of the fact that sprouts sprouted too quickly. This does not happen in the real world. Dara was too fixated on what had happened. Instead of
Well, he was just starting his way, therefore, as he pa.s.ses, he will gain new knowledge, experience, make mistakes and correct them, he learns life. This is the comprehension of the path of enlightenment, the bright Tao. Each chooses his own path, his own method, some cultivate the soul, others shade the body, and others comprehend the Tao by educating and enlightening others. Others are looking for a way to search for treasures and artifacts. There are those who improve crafting. And there are those who cultivate their life experience, seek their zen, through hard work and meditation.
Now, Dara had to concentrate on the farm, but at the same time not to forget his other business, he forgot that his land is magical!
This is both a plus and a liability. You need to smartly manage your strength, help others, you need skillfully.
Meanwhile, s.h.i.+rAli also decided to open a cafe in the Research Inst.i.tute of History, where poor scientists were forced to save money and eat in the dryer. Some bought bread and made black tea with sugar. Others brought home dinner, potatoes, and vegetables in gla.s.s jars. Almost no one had meat. Some who received a salary a little more than others, allowed themselves to buy puff pastry with meat. But they all ate in the dryer, it was not a healthy meal.
According to the plan of Dara, he decided to open a small dining room in this research inst.i.tute. The dining room was, but it has long been empty since the research inst.i.tute could not allow its maintenance. If during the time of the second empire, 6 billion dollars were allocated for science in Small-An, then in 2030 the level of funding for science barely exceeded 40 million dollars. Scientists received a salary of 200-300 dollars. In this case, no conditions were created, formalism strangled scientists, so there was not a single n.o.bel Prize laureate in Small-An. Science was strangled, without money.
Dara believed that if at least scientists can eat tastily and cheaply, then they will have more strength and new ideas to advance the science of his beloved country. This was a small contribution to the development of scientists, people of the country. That means a good deal for karma.
s.h.i.+r Ali also believed that good and tasty, healthy food gives strength and joy from the creativity of both the cook and the person who ate his food.
The director of the research inst.i.tute was glad he even agreed to make a minimum payment in the first year of renting the premises. For this, s.h.i.+rAli said he would sell cheap, but at the same time quality food.
We decided to cook national cuisine and some European food. In the dining room, there were 15 tables with 4 seats. But at a time in the dining room never gathered more than 20 people!
But people came within 4 hours. The dining room worked from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. But if you arrive after 2 days, only black and green tea, a few rolls and sandwiches with cheap cheese and jam remained in the dining room.
But it already inspired life in a forgotten research inst.i.tute.
From the menu, there were soups with lamb, thin noodles, vegetable soups. Porridge - buckwheat, oatmeal, with steamed vegetables. For the second potato with meat, stewed vegetables with meat, fresh salads from tomatoes and onions, warm salads.
From desserts - buns with apple, with cottage cheese, sandwiches with cheese, sandwiches with jam.
Black tea, green tea, currant tea, tea with chamomile, cocoa.

Serving prices are $ 1.5 and $ 2 for the first and second. Dessert separately for 50 cents.
So the condition was met - support for poor scientists and once a week, s.h.i.+rAli, near his cafe with the money that Dara threw, arranged a free distribution of pilaf for the poor in the area.
And the poor was due to the fact that pensions were ridiculously small. People who worked for 40 and 50 years, received a pension in the amount of 22 - 44 US dollars. Whereas the cost of living was $ 200 a month. Tariffs for utilities were constantly growing, at least 3-4 times a year. Each time, 12-30 percent. Drug prices were twice as expensive as in the country that produced them. Prices for the purchase of clothing Beijing-Factory were from $ 40. 1 kg of meat cost $ 6, 1 kg of apples 1.5 dollars.
Therefore, honest retirees having paid for utility bills, 80 percent of their small pensions, then went hungry. Those who did not have relatives were forced to collect expired goods in supermarkets and buy cheap food in wholesale markets. Collect paper, 1 kg of which was 40 cents, 1 kg of plastic bottles of 50 cents, 1 kg of iron - 60 cents. But still, there was not enough money, because sometimes they were beaten by homeless people since the entire territory of the city was divided between groups of beggars and homeless people. Other pensioners were forced to sell their apartments in the city center and move to the outskirts, but there was a lower quality of medical care or in the village. But they were old people, and therefore they needed better medical care. An ambulance could arrive in the city center in 10-50 minutes. And on the outskirts of the city within 2-3 hours, and in the village, she might not have come at all.
Therefore, some retirees, women aged 70-80, went outside and stood near supermarkets, where they were given people who bought money, who bought food and who bought medicine.
Poverty. Although they honestly worked, their money was lost... because the organizations where they worked were in the second empire, and not in the new country of Small-An. Data for the mid-80s of the 20th century were lost. Therefore, they received the smallest pension.
The average pension for scientists and those whose organizations did not close after the collapse of the second empire received a pension of $ 200. And good pensions were considered at $ 500, but they were mainly received by those who worked in the police, soldiers, and politicians.
Therefore, a free pilaf would be a good support for the elderly, who could not afford to eat meat. And without it, a person loses strength and can easily get sick.
It's a good thing to help someone who needs bread, a sip of water.
Dara was also thinking about how to give the poor of his area a job. After all, then they would have their own source of income. But he did not know what experience they had. Yes, and this is a big responsibility. They are old, sick, tired, they need a subtle approach. Dara, just thinking about it.
