Countryside – Spress https://en.spress.net Spress is a general newspaper in English which is updated 24 hours a day. Wed, 23 Jun 2021 01:53:07 +0000 en-US hourly 1 191965906 “The Countryside in Chinese Painting”: To see the most beautiful ancient village of Huizhou style houses, just go to Hongcun https://en.spress.net/the-countryside-in-chinese-painting-to-see-the-most-beautiful-ancient-village-of-huizhou-style-houses-just-go-to-hongcun/ Wed, 23 Jun 2021 01:53:07 +0000 https://en.spress.net/the-countryside-in-chinese-painting-to-see-the-most-beautiful-ancient-village-of-huizhou-style-houses-just-go-to-hongcun/ Our self-driving trip to the south of the Yangtze River will mainly focus on two themes, one is to visit ancient towns, and the other is to visit ancient villages, just look at the classics in the classics! Tongli is the first of the six ancient water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It must be the first stop of our self-driving tour. The results did not disappoint. Next is the ancient village. The ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River have a relatively large selection space, and the most famous one is Xidi Hongcun, which is known as the most representative ancient village among Hui-style residential villages and is known as the “village in Chinese painting”. Although it is 400 kilometers from Suzhou City to Huangshan City, it is worth the gamble. Along the way, from plains to mountains, from highways to high-grade highways, quiet and freehand ink-wash villages have replaced the lively and prosperous new villages and towns, and large tracts of crops are spreading between the sky and the earth. Under the shining of the sun, the architecture and the landscape naturally evoke the charm of ink painting. After nearly 6 hours, the car finally stopped in front of the Hongcun Scenic Area in Yixian County, Huangshan City (ticket 94 yuan/person, manual explanation: 498 yuan). At the entrance of Hongcun Village, there are two “feng shui trees” with sturdy branches, each of which is more than 500 years old, and it takes about five people to hold each other hand in hand. Under the tree are villagers who are resting, drinking tea and chatting, and children chasing and playing around. I curiously asked the villagers about these two feng shui trees, and learned that the feng shui pattern of Hongcun Village is a “cow”, the two big trees in the village are the “ox horns”, the moon marsh pond in the village is the “cow stomach”, and the village is criss-crossed. The waterway is the “bull intestine”… I walked into the village with a little bit of Hongcun Fengshui knowledge from the hearsay. Strolling in the streets of Hongcun, you can feel a natural, unmodified beauty. White high walls, black tiles, and towering horse head walls, there are many broken brick carvings and old courtyard doors, plus the stone road reflecting the leisurely daylight, all this seems to be telling The past of this national historical and cultural village with a history of nearly 900 years. Most of the famous garden owners in the south of the Yangtze River are officials in the dynasty, and they have a lot of savings. They are willing to spend money like the earth on a piece of Taihu stone that resembles a Buddha statue. However, generations of house owners in Hongcun are more willing to work hard on their own small yard, even if it takes a lifetime or even the efforts of several generations. These are two groups with different values ​​for the environment and life. The food in Hongcun left a deep impression on me, “heavy oil, heavy color, heavy firework”. It is said that this is a typical characteristic of Huizhou cuisine, and it has also left a deep impression on the tourists who have been here. One of the famous attractions in Hongcun is the “Prime Minister’s Mansion”. It is a place repeatedly mentioned in various travel guides and travel notes. It is said that it was once used as a hotel for the CCTV program film crew. Unable to resist the temptation of big brands, we also went to taste his signature dish-stinky salmon. It was dark when I came out of the restaurant. In Hongcun at night, the shimmering lake is reflected in colorful lights. Fortunately, the gut-shaped drainage system design of the ancient town makes us like road idiots not afraid of getting lost. As long as we walk along the sound of water, there is no reason to go back. It is said that the water system runs through the whole village of Hongcun, and no matter from which angle one goes, the effect of reaching the same destination can be achieved by different routes. In the early morning of the next day, the sun poured into the room, and the sound of washing was heard outside the window. I gently opened the window and saw the villagers washing the lake by the lake. I put on my clothes, picked up the camera, and jogged downstairs to capture the scene. In the early morning, Hongcun’s breeze was blowing, with a little mist. I have long heard that there are sometimes more students who come to Hongcun for sketching than tourists. Sure enough, in many places in the village, you can see those students who are carrying their drawing boards or sitting somewhere intent on painting. We walked randomly along the alleys in the village, and the sound of gurgling water was endless. Before I knew it, I had walked out of the village, passed a stone bridge and then turned to the right. There were large swaths of water in the fields on both sides that I saw when I came here. I continued to walk along the ridge on the side of the road, in the middle of the field. I was not only a part of the scenery of Hongcun, but also the recorder of the scenery of Hongcun.

The woman said she hopes the video “can make her life better”. “Our organic vegetables are not being sold very well. So I thought to use my Douyin account to promote agricultural products,” Xu said.

Land fund or construction budget is limited but still want to own a comfortable and unique level 4 house is the desire of many people today; and one of the models that can meet the above expectations is a level 4 mezzanine house.

Level 4 house with Thai roof with mezzanine in the countryside A model of a level 4 house with a mezzanine in the city Normally, level 4 houses are built on a modest ground, so the mezzanine design is considered an effective way to increase the usable area of ​​​​the house without causing its height to change. The mezzanine (or mezzanine floor, loft) is an intermediate floor, designed to connect with the ground floor and used as a space for resting, reading, worshiping… The model house level 4 has a mezzanine that is both beautiful and economical. Save the living space for the family as well as create a highlight for the house. Even if the owner uses the first floor for business, the living room can be moved to the mezzanine so that the family can both receive guests and observe the trading on the first floor. House space with mezzanine Currently, there are several types of mezzanines that are chosen by many people such as the front mezzanine, the side mezzanine and the in-room mezzanine. In particular, the front mezzanine is used a lot because it makes a strong impression when entering the living room, creating a new and attractive feeling. The mezzanine on the side brings novelty, uniqueness and personality, but must ensure the area is large enough because this type of design requires a spacious space. The mezzanine in the room is often arranged on the toilet, creating a workspace or reading place. However, to be able to find a beautiful mezzanine house design idea and suitable for the needs of the family, homeowners need to have a good construction plan. It is necessary to determine the available space, choose the most suitable material for the structure of the building and, importantly, choose the height of the mezzanine. It is necessary to avoid the design of the mezzanine that is too high or too low to affect the daily activities of family members. In addition, it is necessary to calculate in the most meticulous and detailed way the ventilation and air circulation capacity by using the appropriate light sources of the mezzanine. The height of the mezzanine must be suitable so as not to create a sense of mystery or shock for occupants. According to many architects, the height of the mezzanine should fall between 2.5m – 2.8m, the mezzanine should not be designed lower than this minimum height to avoid causing a feeling of mystery and suppression for users use; but also should not be too much higher because it makes people feel dizzy and lose their aesthetics. For a house with depth, homeowners can design a mezzanine located in the ground floor and used as a common living place. Floors with mezzanines usually have to be 4.5m – 5m high, mezzanine floors need to be designed to occupy 2/3 of the area of ​​a floor. Mezzanine design should not occupy more than 80% of the ground floor area. In particular, in Vietnam, when designing mezzanine floors, great attention must be paid so as not to violate the Construction Law; For example, if the owner fills the atrium in the mezzanine floor, it will be considered an act of building more than the allowed number of floors and will be fined.

After drinking a bowl, the person was sweating profusely but was extremely happy.
Fortunately, having the opportunity to eat “hybrid” cassava soup again in the hometown of Go Cong, Tien Giang province, what a joy.

That day, I was treated to potato porridge cooked with snakehead fish. The difference is that, the cook also “ballasted” (seasoned) to add one or two tablespoons of delicious fish sauce to the porridge pot to add flavor, before sprinkled with onions and pepper. At first, the pot of porridge gives off an attractive aroma quite similar to rice flour cake soup. But when you taste it, you can clearly feel the bold and light sweetness from cod fish fat and the characteristic sweet aroma of fresh cassava roots. And strangely! It seems that, when swallowing porridge, people immediately feel that the nutrients are “running” there. After drinking a bowl, the person was sweating profusely, so refreshing. Nutritious, easy to digest, hybrid porridge with tapioca soup. In particular, this porridge is not served with vegetables. In particular, this porridge does not need accompanying vegetables. If it feels bland (pale), add a little fish sauce with dangerous chili peppers, it will be very harmonious. When the weather is hot, people are sluggish, so they can easily lose their appetite. However, whenever someone invites me to drink cassava porridge, I am extremely interested. Because it is strange and easy to digest. This dish can be eaten as a filling or as a soup with cold rice in the main meal. More luxurious, add a pot of braised goby with pepper or braised fish sauce with lots of fat and dotted with small dried shrimp, half the size of a chopstick. How much rice! When you eat it, you will feel the sweet, dark and light taste from copper fish fat. The “hybrid” soup of the southwestern countryside, can be cooked with a few copper fish (small, perch, choke) or a bunch of shrimp and shrimp to add sweetness. There are places, even more “playful”, cooked with bamboo chicken or young chicken. So the more I think about it, the more I love the noodle kitchen! Because in order to have the above-mentioned quality soup, the most important requirement is that there must be fresh tapioca, the form that has just been spit up is the best. Old potatoes, will reduce the characteristic sweetness. In particular, the “young” cassava variety planted in 3 months for harvest is more useful than the “old” variety, it takes 6 months to grow the tubers to be large enough. Because the tubers of the 3-month-old potato are always sweet and fragrant. Of course, cassava can be processed into many other delicious dishes, such as: grinding it, rolling it into a curry ball or pouring it into a little sweetened condensed milk pressed into a mold like a printed cake to be grilled over charcoal fire or wrapped. little cakes, steamed silkworm cakes… Shredded cassava ingredients for curry. However, still not as deeply impressed as the “hybrid” soup just described. Because this dish, not only strange and nutritious, but also makes the writer nostalgic about the interesting porridge and soup dishes he has tasted. It’s like, a thin line between really good porridge and soup. And even happier with souls that are always full of a memory of the countryside with the kitchen, the noodles… the fluttering! How to cook “hybrid” tapioca porridge with snakehead fish or chicken is basically as follows: Peel and wash the raw cassava, divide it in half. Half sliced ​​thinly, minced. Cut the other half into large, medium-sized pieces. When the water is just warm, add the minced noodles first and let it simmer. Next, add the rest of the tapioca. Clean snakehead fish, cut into long slices, the size of three adult fingers, drain. Drop the fish into the pot at the same time as the large chunks of potatoes. Soup, cooked fish, then take out. Wait to cool. Drain the lean meat, remove all the bones. Next, put about 1/3 of the amount of fish that has been poached back into the porridge pot, to make the porridge more sweet. Or cook with chicken, cut raw chicken into bite-sized pieces, marinate: salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate about 15-20 minutes before. Fry until golden brown with a pinch of purple onion, lightly stir-fry the chicken and then put it in the pot of porridge/potato soup. Finally, season to taste with common spices: sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate. And most importantly, sprinkle a pinch of finely chopped fresh green onions with a few teaspoons of aromatic pepper powder. Articles, photos: Ta Tri

Facebook sees great potential in rural Vietnam (Photo: Nikkei) Facebook is looking for a new growth approach in rural Vietnam as its advertising business gets tougher than before. According to Facebook’s assessment, rural areas in Vietnam are rapidly adapting to smartphones, especially features such as chat and video calling. Responding to the Nikkei newspaper, the social network said that Vietnam and Thailand lead the world in using chat in online sales, in terms of the volume of messages exchanged between businesses and customers. Mr. Khoi Le, in charge of Facebook business in Vietnam, revealed that many of his colleagues in the US have been “opened eyes” to this trend. Currently, Vietnam is an extremely important market for Facebook. According to Nikkei, in its financial report filed in January this year, Facebook listed Vietnam as the largest revenue engine in Southeast Asia. Globally, nearly all of the company’s revenue comes from advertising. Mr. Le said rural markets are part of Facebook’s next phase. Of the 98 million Vietnamese, 62 million live in rural areas. Even so, their spending is expected to grow faster than those of urban dwellers. Facebook forecasts that rural spending on FMCG will grow 7% annually from 2020 to 2025, compared with 2% in cities. A survey by GroupM company on 4,500 Vietnamese people living in rural areas, Facebook pointed out that if in 2018, television is still their main traditional means, by 2020, the rate of watching TV will be only 86% and remaining Internet usage rate will reach 91%. Mr. Le shared: “I used to think that rural people are not really proficient in using the Internet.” However, a Facebook survey found that 92% of rural households own a smartphone, using it to play games, shop and watch television. “They used every tool at hand extremely proficiently,” Mr. Le said. Given the growing video-watching habits of Vietnamese users, Facebook has identified several areas of focus, including live streaming, TV shows on Facebook Watch, video clips in the news feed, reposts. from Facebook-owned Instagram. For e-commerce, Le said these options will complement Facebook’s chat feature, from chatbots to allowing sellers to answer questions directly via livestream. The company hopes it will help retailers stay connected with customers, especially after Apple’s policy took effect in April, requiring iPhone owners to allow apps to track them. The change in Apple’s policy means that companies buying ads from Google or Facebook will send targeted ads to the right audience. On Monday, Apple unveiled more security features for its latest operating systems, a move expected to further disrupt online advertising. According to Phuc Ngo, Director of Strategic Planning at marketing agency Vero, advertisers are still figuring out how to adapt to Apple’s strict tracking policy. Custom ads are currently the most effective, while “community commerce” like Facebook is touting plays a small role in the translations he manages. Mr. Ngo said: “Before the policy change, you can completely depend on Facebook’s artificial intelligence because it is very smart.” While the Vietnamese countryside is getting richer, it still lags behind the cities. The minimum monthly wage in Hanoi is 4.4 million VND, compared to 3 million VND in poor provinces. Focusing on video will bring Facebook closer to competitors like YouTube, TikTok. In contrast, TikTok is also wary of Facebook and YouTube. A survey of research firms Decision Lab said Facebook is the top choice of Vietnamese users when it comes to watching short videos, but it lost 3% in the first quarter from a year ago, while TikTok doubled its market share. Although Mr. Le emphasized the role of e-commerce in helping businesses connect with rural customers, cost is still a major obstacle. With little infrastructure outside of cities, overall logistics costs equate to 16.8% of gross domestic product, higher than the Asian average, according to the Ministry of Commerce’s 2020 Vietnam Logistics Report. . Companies can advertise their products to Vietnamese farmers. But shipping those products after a successful promotion is another matter.

In the middle of the early summer afternoon, walking under the stone fences, above are the cedar trees, shady trees, people’s hearts are softened.

]]> 20717 Color of memories https://en.spress.net/color-of-memories/ Tue, 01 Jun 2021 10:41:14 +0000 https://en.spress.net/color-of-memories/ In the cool afternoons under the veranda, listening to the rustling of leaves on the roof, my father often said that the memory of Uncle Hai would never fade in my grandmother’s heart. At one point I asked her, ‘What color are your memories?’. ‘It’s the color of ripe plums’. Looking up at the plum tree in front of my house for a long time, I still don’t understand why the memory brings such a popular and rural fruit color? She laughed, ‘you’ll understand when you grow up’.

In the cool afternoons under the veranda, listening to the rustling of leaves on the roof, my father often said that the memory of Uncle Hai would never fade in my grandmother’s heart. I once asked her, “What color are your memories?”. “It’s the color of ripe plums.” Looking up at the plum tree in front of my house for a long time, I still don’t understand why the memory brings such a popular and rural fruit color? She smiled, “when you grow up, you will understand”. It was a time when the wind was strong, and the plum tree in front of the house rustled again. On nights like that, Grandma had trouble sleeping. She lay tossing and turning, sometimes sitting up, turning on the canna lamp (chili shaped) in front of the porch. North of a small chair, grandmother sat there and stared blankly at the plum tree in front of the yard. Far away is the river, where the fishing lights go on forever. Where in the past, she rowed a canoe to take him across the river to the base, where Uncle Hai got off the boat to the north to protect the border. And the riverbank in the grandmother’s heart always carries the color of loneliness and pain about a belief that is lying deep somewhere, far away. Grandma used to tell us about the plum tree in her front yard. She said that when she went to the north, Uncle Hai wrote to say that plum tree, in the north called whip tree and in the central part called peach tree. Each place has a different name, but plum is still a fragrant home garden fruit and is associated with the nostalgia of many children far from home. In my memory, my plum tree is tall and wide, covering an entire yard. The plum branches are long, reaching as far as the eaves. A few walks of fallen leaves on the corrugated iron roof, at night the wind pushes the palm branches into rustling sounds. Although I know it’s hard for old people to sleep, when I see my grandmother tossing and turning all night, my father is also worried. He intended to cut the plum branch, so that the night wind would not rustle the roof. Hearing that, grandma didn’t like it. She said, thanks to the wide canopy, the yard is cool from the road to the house. Besides, this branch has been bearing fruit for the past few seasons, and she feels sorry to have cut it down. I know, grandma has another belief. When she stood under the tree, she looked aimlessly at the plums laden with branches, her heart was not willing to cut down any branches full of memories. When I was a child, I could not hold the armor of a tree. I wish I grew up quickly, so that I could wrap my arms around the tree easily. But strangely, when I grew up, there was still no way to hold the armor with one arm. Hearing that, my grandmother patted my head and smiled: “Every day you grow up, the tree grows like you every day.” At that time, I wondered again: “Why does the seedling come like that, does the tree have thoughts too?”. She nodded: “That’s right, trees, like people, also know how to think, also know how to love and give fruit to those who feed it.” I pondered again and asked: “So the tree has parents and grandparents? Who gave birth to the plum tree?” She was silent and did not speak, perhaps she did not know how to answer so that her five-year-old grandson could clearly understand. She patted my head again and said: “You will understand when you grow up!”. I believe, and I firmly believe in her words, that there are things that you don’t understand until you grow up! The times I climbed up the swinging plum tree, looked down at the porch, where my grandmother sat beside a basket of plums and a few fluttering betel leaves, I saw my grandmother storing up a treasure trove of memories of Uncle Hai. At that time, I believed more and more, there are things that when I grow up, I understand clearly. At the age of twenty, I followed my father and grandmother to the border. A few days before the day of the trip, she asked me to go down to the river to draw up a bucket of water, she digs around the soil at the plum tree in front of the house and then sprinkles the water meticulously and carefully. Like a diligent and dedicated gardener. She pulled out all the grass around the tree, leaving only the roots that sprouted from the big, rough roots that sprouted a bit into the ground. I wonder why it has to be the river’s water to water the plants. Why not pull the tap water, water the plants, both fast and convenient. She smiled, her mouth was full of grace: “River water carries heavy silt, nutrients like the milk of the mother river, helping the tree to bear fruit”. Grandma used to go around the plum tree. As she walked, she collected crushed ripe fruit and fallen leaves and gathered them in one place. She lit up the smoke, fragrant plum smoke, fluttering in the afternoon, mixing with the color of her hair. At that time, my heart suddenly fluttered, for the first time in my life, I realized that my grandfather was old. And the time she spent with her children and grandchildren also gradually shortened. A few days later, we went to the border. She said “go pick up Hai”. Sitting on the train, Grandma still couldn’t stop hugging plums. Those are the biggest, tastiest fruits I’ve ever picked. Grandmother has selected to save to bring to the border, “for the uncles”. Along the way, she never stopped talking passionately about her child. She said that in the past, she was pregnant with Uncle Hai until nine months and twenty days before giving birth. The baby was so big, weighing more than four kilograms, she thought she wouldn’t make it. But the child loves his mother, so he tries to pull away. She said, my uncle Hai from a young age loved fruit trees. Grandpa saw that, so he planted dozens of stone plum trees around the house for green fruit. But unfortunately, in the water season of the year of the Dragon, the water soaked for several months, the trees died, there was only one plum tree in front of the house. After the water season that year, Grandfather entered the resistance base before he had time to replant some new plum trees around the house. Uncle Hai was only ten years old, without a father, he taught himself how to take care of the tree and nourish the only remaining plum tree that did not die despite experiencing many floods. That year, the plum tree blossomed with big and delicious fruit, Uncle Hai climbed up and broke almost the whole basket, loaded it into a backpack, and carried it to the base for his father. But who knows, that was also the last time he saw his grandfather. After that time the base was bombed, he turned into clouds and wind, but his grandfather still lived with the breath of the mountains and forests of his homeland, with the plum branches he cultivated. Grandma said, my grandfather lived a holy life, so over the past few decades with so many flood seasons, the plum tree is still green and growing bigger and bigger. Uncle Hai’s plum garden from the mother tree in the front yard is also growing. Peace restored. The plum trees from the fruit of two generations have a chance to pay off. But it was only four years before the border had an enemy. Uncle Hai followed the call of the mountains and rivers, put on a small backpack and a water bottle, and set off. Before leaving, grandma still carried some plums in her hand, hoping that if she missed the road, there would be fruit to her stomach. Before we went to the border to pick up Uncle Hai, the bad season started to sow the wind. Because of the rustling branches of the tree or because the grandmother’s dreams were fluttering, she was always tired every morning. She said that last night, she dreamed that Uncle Hai came back. Uncle carried a backpack filled with stone plums. As she remembers it very well, she hugged Uncle Hai, crying bitterly: “Hai, where are you, my mother looked for me but couldn’t find me”. Uncle Hai said, Grandma affirmed that the voice was exactly the same as the old uncle’s voice, with no difference: “I’m going to plant plums, when the plum season is ripe, I’ll message my mother to pick me up.” After he finished speaking, he left, then the sound of plum branches rustling on the porch. Grandmother woke up in the phobia of the pain of losing her husband and children. She quickly ran to the yard of the house, stopped at the plum tree, looked at the river in front of the house, she called “Hai, Hai, where are you so that my mother can pick me up, Hai!”. After that delirium, my father thought that he must set out to find Uncle Hai. Dad goes from year to year. Every year during the summer vacation, he goes on the road again. Working hard across the border strip, in the end, heaven did not let people down. Dad grabbed a few clues about Uncle Hai, when he stopped at the foothills planted with plums and green fruits. My father reunited with his brother’s teammates. The uncles, the uncles recounted, when he first joined the unit, he boasted to his teammates that he had brought a “delicious” southern plum with him. But there are only a few fruits, how can I divide them equally among the units, so my uncle Hai spent time incubating and planting. Uncle fought while carefully cultivating the roots and watering carefully little by little for the plums that had just sprouted. In the severe cold northern seasons, you have to keep the plants warm so they don’t die. Uncle took care of plums like taking care of his hometown soul. The uncles and uncles said sadly, there was a time when enemy artillery suddenly bombarded the hill, my uncle died in that battle, but the plum trees he planted were still lucky to survive and turn green. My uncle lost his grave, it took several decades for his former comrades to find him, but he did not know where to find his relatives. The comrades laid him down beside the plum trees to overcome the fire, they tried to preserve and take care of the southern plum tree that his comrades had left behind on this land. The land was already slightly human, so the stone plum trees took root on the hills of the North. A few years later, when they produced green fruit, the teammates had the opportunity to return to eat a delicious piece of grass, but sadly missed a teammate. On the day of Uncle Hai’s reburial, in addition to the remains, we also brought back a few kilograms of plums from the tree he planted. Placed in front of Grandfather’s grave and Uncle Hai’s grave, white moon-smoky incense flies aimlessly… Strangely enough, the plums we brought back and the plums from the tree in front of the house were exactly the same, even though the two trees were grown in two different regions. differ in both soil and climate. Grandma sat in front of Uncle Hai’s grave, peeled a piece of stone plum and put it in my hand, her voice was cool and sweet as if it contained the aroma of plants and trees in the garden: “When you are old like her, you will understand. Just like the color of plum, memory is a color that lasts forever!”

]]> 19685 Ketchup memories… https://en.spress.net/ketchup-memories/ Mon, 31 May 2021 16:40:08 +0000 https://en.spress.net/ketchup-memories/ Cicadas tingle somewhere in the garden, at leisure, at climax… The school days have finally passed, and my childhood was bathed in a summer in the countryside. That’s when the noonday heat begins to simmer, the family meal cannot be complete without the traditional soup with the mother’s Northern-style sour batch and the father’s “heaven” ketchup plate. Remembering life is the sweet vegetable dish dipped in soy sauce that is still somewhere softly and richly deposited on the tip of the tongue. For many years, every summer, I remember the atmosphere of family meals when I was still three and all family members. Now he has gone a long way.

Water spinach soup, tomato pickle with soy sauce… Every year, after the season of plucking the peanuts and pressing the oil, Dad uses those oil cakes to make soy sauce. Banh Dau sauce is made from the carcass of peanuts after pressing all the essential oils. The bean carcasses are packed into round, thick cakes. When making soy sauce, three chop the oil cake into pieces and then pound it, sifting to get the fine powder. The flour is roasted, mixed with hot rice, granulated sugar and salt, finely ground and incubated for fermentation, forming soy sauce. The stages of making Banh Dau sauce are not difficult, but perhaps the secret, or it is often said, that the person who has the best hands in making the best soy sauce in the village is only three.
One of the secrets of my father, I know, when making soy sauce, he never used well water but only rain water from the cement block in front of the house. This is also the type of water used to make tea, offer rice on the occasion of the full moon, or the death anniversary. In summer, it usually rains for two or three days. Rainwater from the jackfruit tree makes a faucet catch the lake, carefully covered around it. Giap weekly change the water so that it does not get dirty, swarm or leaves fall in. The most oppressive tree on the summer side, when the wind blows, only a few leaves are considered as water damage. Banh Dau sauce has a brown color of cockroach wings, fatty, aromatic taste, at first glance similar to fish sauce, but the taste is lighter and the fragrance is very characteristic.
In those years, life was still very difficult, fish and shrimp paste was not like it is now. I remember sometimes carrying fish from the sea across the sea to follow in the footsteps of thousands of women, every house buys a little bit called… to eat for fish. In order to have a more sustainable meal, many families have to pack bags and tin boxes to cycle for dozens of kilometers down to Hoi An to buy fish incubated with fish sauce to eat all winter.

At that time, my house was at the top of the village, right at the foot of the mountain. After the liberation from the North, his father spent months in the forest cutting trees to build a spacious 4-room wooden house. On the porch, close to the wall facing the rising sun, put two jars of earthenware, a jar of soy sauce and a jar of salted eggplant. Ba Bao ketchup is like a plant, it needs sunlight to be delicious. With soy sauce, each meal can be scooped into a cup and then cooked in the rice cooker when it is exhausted. Changing the taste can de-oil making the sweet potato dipping sauce great, and the pickled eggplant is also delicious.
Every day, when there is pork divided into seasonal rice, my father shows off his ability to store meat with soy sauce, which is very interesting. Pork cut into small slices, marinated with a little seasoning, sugar, main noodles, onions, garlic for about fifteen minutes for the meat to absorb the spices. Lemongrass washed, cut the white part, chopped. Heat peanut oil and then add lemongrass and stir until the lemongrass turns yellow and fragrant, then add the meat and stir-fry. When the meat is cooked, add the soy sauce and stir. Then, add a little warm water, simmer on low heat for the meat to infuse. When the water in the pot is completely exhausted, the slices of meat become dry, a layer of brown soy sauce, emitting a fragrant aroma is okay. You can also add a little roasted sesame to braised meat, rub off the silk skin to make the dish more flavorful. In particular, this delicious dish can also be preserved in a glass jar and eaten gradually for a few days and still retains its delicious taste.
Soy sauce is also used to pickle pickled tomatoes. The fish is drained, soaked with seasoned soy sauce, and eaten very well. Biting a piece of coffee, it sounds like a crackling sound, no matter how tired people are, they want to wake up. The sweet and fatty sauce mixed with the tray taste of the eggplant settles down on the tip of the tongue, it is difficult to resist when picking up the first egg, the second and third are hard to resist. And always, the ketchup meal ends with a cup of water spinach soup, or a new bowl of boiled vegetable juice. Reading “Love and miss the twelve”, writer Vu Bang once sang “how disgusting that the beloved North Vietnamese country is not richer than anyone else, not as luxurious as anyone else, but how can it produce a delicious eggplant, melon, soy sauce, and fish sauce? “The devil cries so much”.
Please tell me, the Central region of my hometown is also inferior, especially the dish of ketchup, boiled sweet vegetables dipped with soy sauce on every summer occasion that my father makes. But that’s also true, delicious food doesn’t have to wait to be rich. And then the writer and author of “Hanoi delicacies”, “Stranger dishes of the South” confessed: “Oh, it’s the compassion of people, many things don’t produce anything “dead” that they can do for themselves. But remembering the turmeric eggplant or a piece of tomato and soy sauce to eat right in the summer, it’s not just about missing coffee, it’s about remembering the wife of Cao Khang…”.

In that garden, she spends her time planting and caring for 200 types of rhododendrons that are always blooming brightly.
Ms. Xuan Huong (born in 1984) is currently a housewife, busy with taking care of the family. She was born and raised in the central coastal land, Phu Yen province. She has been living in the US for 10 years in San Diego CA, California. In addition to taking care of children and housework, she loves leisurely moments watching the garden and taking care of plants.

Xuan Huong was born and raised in Vietnam. Then she immigrated to America. Currently, she enjoys the housewife life, taking care of her family and unleashing her passion for all kinds of quince in her garden. Ms. Huong shared: “ Before, I planted a lot of flowers, I like to plant for fun because my house is quite large. At first, I did not grow Quynh but planted a variety of varieties such as roses, chrysanthemums… However, realizing that other flowers take a lot of time to care for, prune, and water daily, I decided to choose primrose, which is both easy to care for and blooms brilliantly. I usually focus on taking my kids to school, cooking, and spending more time with myself “. Previously, she also tried to grow many different types of flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses… However, most of the flowers she planted need a lot of time to take care of. Therefore, she has researched and chosen to plant varieties of rhododendrons, flowers that bloom brilliantly but don’t take much care. Her garden is therefore always lush and impressive. A corner of rhododendrons is blooming brilliantly. Ms. Xuan Huong beside the blooming sunflowers. Initially, Ms. Huong planted a few varieties of rhododendrons and found this to be a suitable variety for warm climates. The tree also has many colors, flowers bloom beautifully, is durable and does not require much care. Up to now, Ms. Huong’s garden has more than 200 different types of Quynh. The more I grow, the more I love it, so I don’t stop buying more of my favorite varieties to plant. Among all types of Quynh, my favorite is Quynh sen (German Empress) because the flowers bloom for the longest time compared to other types of Quynh. Each flower can bloom for about 7 days while other types of rhododendrons only last 2-3 days. The color of the flowers is similar to that of Vietnam’s lotus bud, so every time Quynh blooms, she misses her hometown more. A brilliant garden corner, showing off her fragrance with the types of Quynh that she loves. The characteristic of Quynh is that it likes light sunshine, under a sheltered place, little watering, dry soil. Quynh blooms can be fresh for up to 1 week, helping her garden always shine very impressively. One corner is placed a lot of potted rhododendrons with different varieties. Ms. Xuan Huong currently grows more than 200 types of quince in her garden. In her spare time, she still spends her time collecting different types of rhododendrons to plant in her garden. Flowers are also quite diverse in color. In her spare time, Ms. Huong often walks around the garden, with time on the weekend she will take advantage of watering more fertilizer. She often plans with a periodic irrigation schedule. On average, she fertilizes flowers once a month. In winter, she gives the plant a break without fertilizing. In the summer, she watered every 3-4 days, in the winter because it was cold, the plants kept moisture well, so she only watered once every 10 days. The owner of the garden shares the secret of flower care: “If I want flowers to bloom beautifully, I usually add bloom booster to promote more flowers. In terms of soil, I plant cactus soil or potting soil that is easy to drain. I don’t like to water a lot, if the soil is moist enough, the plant can grow well. “. Quynh is a flower that does not need much effort to fertilize, does not water a lot, sometimes adding fertilizer periodically is enough to enjoy the brilliant beauty of the flowers. In her free time, Xuan Huong often takes her children to the garden to take care of the sunflowers, learn about nature, and get closer to the trees. This is also the time when she feels happy, relaxed and loves her home and garden more. Thanks to these simple experiences, the garden of Ms. Xuan Huong’s family is always brilliant with all kinds of rhododendrons racing to bloom. I love every little corner of my garden. The charming types of Quynh stand out in the garden like a highlight creating a natural feature, close to nature, helping every member to love their home more every day.

Student life is full of new and interesting things, one of which is the experience of working part-time. Students work part-time not only to accumulate experience, but a large part of them go to work to earn extra income, to cover their lives and to feed their passions and dreams.

However, from these part-time jobs, each student has different experiences. Some of you have been cheated by your employer, have a situation where “old ghosts bully new ghosts” … and you are mocked “why do college students do manual work”? That is also the story that a female student has just shared on a social networking forum and received a lot of attention from fans. At the beginning of her story, the hot girl student H oh : “Selling coffee carts is not respectable labor, people?”. The female student chose the job of selling trolley coffee to work part-time, even though it was a genuine job, she was ridiculed by her friends. Illustration Next, the female student recounted that, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the economic situation of her parents in the countryside was severely reduced, so the female student found herself a part-time job after school to earn more money. tuition fees for living expenses. The job that the female student chooses is selling trolley coffee, a job that receives a salary that makes her happy, more importantly, that she has just made money without affecting her studies. The story would not be worth mentioning if the female student did not have to listen to the sarcasm and teasing of her classmates about the job the female student is doing. The text of the story is shared as follows: “This year, the epidemic has returned, so my parents are in the countryside, doing live music rental business, but during the epidemic season, no one can organize events or get married to have an income. Just under control, our family receives After a few parties, when the festival came, the epidemic broke out again. If I could not pay the investment debt to buy equipment, I would lose my income because of the epidemic, so my education would also be affected. I see that, so I also want to go to work to help my parents in the countryside. But I still have a busy schedule, so full time is impossible. So I’m looking for part-time jobs. That’s it, I read and found a job that was selling trolley coffee. The work is not very hard, just push the small coffee cart to the corner of the street to sell. With an initial salary of 28k / hour, but one day I sold a lot, so the owner supported me to increase it to 40k / hour. I worked for a few weeks and felt that I could both ensure my schedule and take advantage of my free time to earn extra income, so I’m quite satisfied. And the story should have stopped here, but when I was assigned to sell near my school in Binh Thanh and my guests that day were students in the same course as me. And especially before, I once refused the love of a male friend in that group and until now I still think it was the right decision because even though he is really rich, he is like a beloved son with a series of “favorites”. ” about his feelings on his school’s Confession. Yesterday, it was sunny, but I was still recognized by them. They mocked “I knew you in the past, but now I don’t have to do this hard wholesale” and many sayings sound like nothing, but really, in my situation, I can understand what it’s like to be hinted at. Only “studying in college but going to the street to sell coffee, accepting friends N. is time to go out” is very annoying. Honestly, at that time, I was also a little sorry because I did not have the same conditions as them. But it wouldn’t be sad if today I didn’t hear my friends talking about them going around the school saying “business administration” but selling coffee, mocking me for studying “business administration” at a school. fame without finding a suitable job to do but selling coffee for a walk…. Then my friends also asked if I needed any help… Then when I go to class, everyone keeps teasing me, why don’t you sell coffee anymore, tomorrow get me a few dozen cups and I’ll invite the whole class to drink. … Hey everyone, the ministry of manual labor is not worthy of respect, is it that I go to college to gain knowledge, universities train quality labor, not always training directors and chiefs? where is the room. I do it with my own strength, I wake up at 5 am to prepare, at 5:30 am I have to be at the shop. I do it with my own strength, not cheating or stealing from anyone. Every industry is a profession, it is also a labor. Why do they have a mocking attitude towards people, part-time students like me?”. Immediately after this story appeared on social networks, it immediately received a lot of attention from fans, especially students. A series of comments were made, most of which advised female students to stay confident in what they are doing, to be proud of themselves when they can earn genuine money to support themselves. help parents. “Why do you care so much? I just do what I like, I have to be myself. I don’t care what other people say, as long as it doesn’t break the law it’s fine.” “In the past, when I went to school, I sold burgers, cleaned the toilet, cleaned the office, still delicious. Only someone who has never worked for a living behaves like that, but what makes money without committing crimes? All laws are the same.” “There is nothing funny about doing business with your own labor, thanks to a few small businesses, you have learned a lot of experience, the important thing is that not everyone dares to work hard and show their face to sell like that. !”. “Students in any profession need to be respected and put in the effort to be shameless. Those who are successful, they have also done manual and hard work to get the results they are today. what the gossip in and out of”. Indeed, any profession is worthy of respect, any genuine work is suitable for us to be passionate about. Earning money is not easy, for this reason, when you earn it yourself, you can see how precious it is. For those young people who are fortunate to have a better life, better family conditions, please refrain from criticizing and mocking other friends. Because you can’t know that those words, whether unintentionally or intentionally, will not make you more noble and noble; not to mention will severely hurt those “innocent” friends.

]]> 16438 It is India’s turn to be ravaged by the pandemic https://en.spress.net/it-is-indias-turn-to-be-ravaged-by-the-pandemic/ Thu, 20 May 2021 01:37:11 +0000 https://en.spress.net/it-is-indias-turn-to-be-ravaged-by-the-pandemic/ After raging and causing serious consequences in a big city in India, the Covid-19 epidemic continued to hit the countryside – where there was a shortage of means to fight the epidemic.
In Basi village, a 90-minute drive from the capital New Delhi, about 75% of its 5,400 villagers have contracted Covid-19 and more than 30 people have died in the past three weeks. Basi village has no medical facilities, no doctors or oxygen tanks, according to Bloomberg .

Unlike city people who know how to use social networks, Basi villagers cannot go to Twitter to call for help from strangers. Basi village in Uttar Pradesh state. The state has more than 75% of its people living in rural areas, according to the most recent 2011 census of India. “Most of the people who died in the village were due to not being given oxygen in time,” said Sanjeev Kumar, the newly elected village chief. Mr. Kumar said the seriously ill had to travel four hours to get to the nearest hospital, but many died on the way. Village chief Sanjeev Kumar on May 10 holds portraits of recently deceased Covid-19 patients in Basi village, Uttar Pradesh state. Photo: Bloomberg. What happened in Basi village is a common image of rural India at the moment. Through interviews with representatives from more than 18 towns and villages across India, the scale of the crisis gradually emerged. According to the Indian Ministry of Health, the country has more than 25 million cases of Covid-19 and 274,390 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. But many believe that the scale of the crisis is significantly larger than the official figure, given that many villagers are sick but afraid to leave their homes, and the death toll from Covid-19 is not fully recorded. General image of rural India After the recent Basi village chief election, many election workers contracted coronavirus, including Kumarsain Nain, 59, and his 31-year-old son. When Nain had trouble breathing and had to go to the hospital, his family couldn’t find an ambulance with an oxygen ventilator, according to Praveen Kumar, another son of Nain. “When we got to the hospital, the doctor said my father had passed away. But instead of recording the cause of death as Covid-19, they just recorded cardiac arrest,” Kumar said. “The doctor said there is no need to check if my father is positive for Covid-19 because he is already dead.” Not long after, in another clinic, Kumar’s brother also died at the same time as six other patients. All 7 people were on ventilators at the time before they died. “I suspect that the hospital ran out of oxygen which led to death,” Kumar said.

Reply Bloomberg On May 18, Mr. Baijayant Panda, a senior official in the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, defended the government’s response. He pointed out that the electoral body is the one who decides to hold the vote, and that the state governments are responsible for building the oxygen plants. These facilities receive federal funding. “In early January, the general view was that India passed the strongest wave of corona virus infections. Many epidemiologists are voicing criticism right now, in fact the people who said in October 2020 that the worst is over, so there’s no need to put a lot of restrictions,” Panda said. In the state of Bihar, where nearly 90 percent of the population lives in the countryside, residents last week found 70 bodies floating in the Ganges. Because the crematorium is overcrowded, people are concerned that they cannot afford the funeral expenses, so they have to “send” the bodies of their relatives in the Ganges River. To this day, people still find bodies pushed ashore by the current. A similar scenario is seen in the state of Madhya Pradesh, where 72 percent of the population lives in rural areas, according to 2011 figures. “There are no hospital beds or medicines. People just lay there waiting to die. In the city of Ujjain and surrounding areas, in the past two weeks there have been several cases where the whole family has not survived,” said Rajesh Sharma, owner of a travel agency in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh state. “Unprecedented scale of crisis” In the state of Punjab, local authorities called on volunteers to knock on doors for health checks and urged people to get vaccinated. These medical volunteers (ASHA) have to work in difficult conditions to immunize children and provide first aid to the villages. But according to Balbir, an ASHA from Ludhiana district, Punjab, the scale of the crisis is unprecedented. The fields in Basi village were abandoned because many of the labor force fell ill.

Despite the outbreak of the disease, they still haven’t given us adequate protective gear: no masks, no gloves or anything,” Balbir said. The state of Uttarakhand, where nearly 70% of the population lives in rural areas, has also suffered a severe blow from Covid-19. The number of infections in Uttarakhand increased 20-fold after welcoming more than 9 million visitors to the Kumbh Mela ceremony on March 31-24. “There is not a single family in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand state without a sick person. Haridwar, in the same state of Uttarakhand, is in a similar situation,” said Navin Mohan, who helps arrange trips to holy towns on the banks of the Ganges. “The pandemic really got out of control. Thousands of people have died and will die in the coming weeks,” Mohan said.

More and more Chinese tourists are visiting the farms and enjoying the fresh produce. Tourists pick persimmons at an orchard in Shufeng village, eastern China. Photo: CNN According to CNN, China is one of the largest domestic tourism markets in the world. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism estimates that over 4 billion trips will be made across China by 2021, with a market value exceeding $500 billion. Given that an outbound tourism model is not viable due to pandemic restrictions, the need for an alternative domestic option is not surprising – especially since China is the home. of 55 World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO. However, not only looking to the historical and natural wonders in the country, people now look to a different atmosphere when returning to the peaceful countryside. In posts posted on the social network Weibo, an account named Ancailie said that after a day of picking strawberries, planting rice and eating food raised by her own hands, she felt “much happier”. Another user, laozhenyiwen, described how his family caught fish and ate seafood during the last Labor Day holiday as an enjoyable experience and “avoiding the crowds”. China-owned Trip.com, one of the world’s largest online travel agencies, said that in March 2021, rural trips in China increased by more than 300% compared to same period last year. People in China’s big cities are tired of urban life and are looking for something healthier. Tourists are painting nature at Xiaolingnan, Anhui province. Photo: CNN This trend has become so popular that Trip.com is planning a “five-year action” to promote rural tourism, including linking up with 10,000 professional travel agents to focus on developing the field. and invested 1 billion yuan (US$150 million). Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said Chinese people are getting tired of not having many entertainment spaces and unique experiences in the country’s big cities. “They need a different life experience, a peaceful weekend away,” he explains. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps coordinate tours and activities in the countryside. She says that on one of the tours she runs, visitors can experience fruit growing, participate in an agricultural development model, and learn about the traditional crafts and customs of the region. . “Most of the tourists who join these tours are kindergarten or primary school students with their parents,” Wang said. Some rural retreats can be reasonably minimalist, with activities as simple as strawberry picking, visiting a folk museum or attending local musicals. In Wang’s opinion, there are two main reasons why people are enthusiastic about vacationing in the countryside. It is a quiet space to be alone and experience a healthy lifestyle. One of the resorts Wang affiliated with in Shandong province opened in May 2020 – right after the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic passed in China – quickly being booked by tourists. “The population density in rural areas is very low. The control and prevention measures are also very good,” explained Wang. People like to experience life with nature. Photo: CNN Besides, living in a country that is full of scandals related to food contamination, tourists feel safer and healthier when they grow clean foods themselves. The trend of “going home to rest” is also strongly promoted by influential figures on the Internet, such as Ly Tu That. Videos of this girl living in the countryside, cooking dishes from home-grown ingredients by herself on the peaceful background of music have attracted tens of millions of views. Wang said she believes rural tourism is just getting started and that in the future, tours will focus more on China’s myriad local cultures. “Looking at agricultural and rural development policies in recent years, I think that rural areas have a lot of potential. I think in the future there will be more tourism products with content based on local culture, that is, tours with cultural depth,” Wang said.

]]> 15379 The Covid-19 pandemic in India enters a new phase https://en.spress.net/the-covid-19-pandemic-in-india-enters-a-new-phase/ Sun, 16 May 2021 09:49:07 +0000 https://en.spress.net/the-covid-19-pandemic-in-india-enters-a-new-phase/ From crowded urban areas, the Covid-19 epidemic gradually spread to rural areas of India. That raises concerns that the situation will be even more dire.
Every day, a series of sad images and news about India flood the media. “Record number of infections”, “lack of oxygen” or images of bodies suspected of being infected with Covid-19 washed up on the banks of the Ganges became the headlines of the news.

Even more sad is that those endless tragedies still have no end. These stories will appear more and more, as the Covid-19 pandemic begins to spread from big cities to rural India, where the health system is much worse than the urban areas. The picture is full of contrasts The Indian capital New Delhi recorded nearly 12,500 new Covid-19 cases on May 12 – just half of the number recorded here on April 30. Another somewhat positive sign is that the positive rate of tests has dropped to 19%, from a peak of 36% a few weeks earlier. A farmers market in Mumbai on May 11. Photo: Reuters. A similar positive situation is recorded in Mumbai – India’s most populous city. The positive rate of the test here dropped to 7%, below the 10% recommended by WHO. That partly shows that the two largest cities of India are gradually controlling the epidemic. However, if looking at the whole picture, the picture of the Covid-19 pandemic does not seem to have too many bright spots. Dark spots are appearing more and more, especially in rural India. This leads to a conundrum: If New Delhi, which has good health infrastructure and many good hospitals, struggles to contain the pandemic, how can rural areas where the system much weaker health care – can withstand the wave of epidemics. And the answer came pretty quickly. When the source of oxygen is exhausted On May 11, Sri Venkateswara Ramnarain Ruia Hospital in Andhra Pradesh state ran out of oxygen supply, while more than 60 patients were in critical condition. 11 patients later died. In anger, relatives of these people stormed into the intensive care unit, knocking over tables and chairs and smashing equipment. Television images showed several people clutching their heads in grief, while doctors and nurses fled for fear of assault. A Covid-19 patient is being cared for at a public hospital in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Photo: Reuters. Andhra Pradesh, like many other southern states, is facing severe oxygen shortages. Statistics of an Indian newspaper show that oxygen depletion has taken place in 20 hospitals, leading to the deaths of more than 200 patients. In the past, the southern states of India have agreed to share oxygen with each other. Now, some states want to end the cooperation. The southern state of Tamil Nadu refused to share oxygen with the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh, where the tragedy took place that left 11 people dead. The state of Kerala also refused to share oxygen because of the state’s high demand for oxygen, as the test positive rate in the state increased to 27% from 8% in early April. “Many people have died without treatment,” commented Rijo M. John, a health economist in Kerala. Behind the bodies in the river People in Bihar, a northern Indian state, could not help but be shocked when they discovered dozens of bodies, suspected of being Covid-19 victims, washed up on the banks of the Ganges River on May 10. “I have never seen so many corpses,” said Arun Kumar Srivastava, a local doctor. He also said that “there will certainly be more deaths”, as many people carry bodies on their shoulders. A family member of a Covid-19 patient is grieving after hearing the news of a loved one’s death. Photo: Reuters. Officials said the bodies were dropped by ambulance drivers from a bridge, and denied that the bodies were floated by relatives due to lack of burial conditions. Krishna Dutt Mishra, an ambulance driver in Bihar, said that many people had to drop the bodies of loved ones in the river because the cremation price was too high. According to him, during the second Covid-19 wave, the price of cremation has increased from 2,000 rupees (about 27 USD) to 15,000 rupees (200 USD). This is a huge sum of money for many Indian families, and as a result, cremating a loved one becomes an impossibility for them. “I drove all the way from Buxar to Chausa. I’ve never seen dead bodies in the river, let alone seen dozens, or hundreds of bodies,” Mr. Mishra said. Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

]]> 14926 India: Danger, the epidemic is spreading rapidly to poor rural areas https://en.spress.net/india-danger-the-epidemic-is-spreading-rapidly-to-poor-rural-areas/ Sun, 16 May 2021 09:19:15 +0000 https://en.spress.net/india-danger-the-epidemic-is-spreading-rapidly-to-poor-rural-areas/ The epidemic tends to decrease gradually in large urban areas but is spreading rapidly to poor rural states that are very weak in health infrastructure.
The COVID-19 epidemic in India is still very dangerous when the country continues to record up to 348,000 infections and lose up to 4,205 lives on May 11, the highest death rate in a day because of the epidemic in the country, according to a report. Times of India . As of May 12, India has recorded more than 23.3 million people infected, of which more than 254,000 have died. Science magazine The Lancet warned that India could lose up to a million people to COVID-19 by August 1.

The banks of the Ganges River in the city of Garhmukteshwar, Uttar Pradesh state (India’s most populous state) became a place to cremate the bodies of people who died of COVID-19. Photo: AFP/GETTY IMAGES The epidemic is spreading rapidly to the countryside After four consecutive days of recording the number of infections above 400,000 / day, the last two days the number of daily infections in India has fallen below this level. Many government health officials and experts predict this second wave of epidemics in India will peak around the end of this week. However, it seems that the epidemic crisis in India is moving to a more dangerous new phase. The danger is that the virus is now spreading rapidly to rural areas, according to the CIDRAP Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. In the article in the newspaper New York Times Journalist Jeffrey Gettleman, head of this newspaper’s office in the capital New Delhi, also said that the infection and death from COVID-19 that broke out in big cities a few weeks ago is now spreading very quickly to rural areas. village. New Delhi recorded nearly 12,500 infections on May 11, less than half of the number recorded on April 30. Hospitals in New Delhi are now accepting patients again, after having to stop accepting them because of overcrowding last month, leaving infected people to die on the streets. Mumbai also recorded the same. The danger is that the number of infections in New Delhi and Mumbai will probably stop increasing and decrease gradually, but in many other places will increase. In other words, the situation of New Delhi a few weeks ago now extends to almost the entire country. Some of the worst-affected states are in the south, especially Karnataka. I cannot imagine what would happen in rural India. Expert RIJO M. JOHN worried about the prospect of the COVID-19 epidemic overflowing into the countryside How will it be? This fact raises a terrifying question: If New Delhi, a rich metropolis with dozens of hospitals, is unable to handle the current wave of high cases, what will happen once this wave spreads to the country? poor rural areas? The answer seems to be gradually becoming clear. On the evening of May 10, a leading hospital in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh ran out of medical oxygen. More than 60 critically ill patients wear breathing tubes but no oxygen. The doctors worked frantically, but 11 patients did not survive that night. In a distraught over the loss of a loved one, family members stormed into the hospital and smashed it. Doctors and nurses had to flee until the police arrived. It can be clearly seen that the hospital overload, lack of oxygen, medicine … very serious even in large urban areas will be more alarming in rural states, according to the radio. CNN . Chogath farming village in the western state of Gujarat has a population of 7,400, but there are 500-600 infections, the number of people who have not survived is very high because the whole village does not have a doctor. Nearby towns have several medical centers, but these small facilities have run out of beds and medical facilities. Dinesh Makwana drove his father, who was severely infected with COVID-19, through four medical centers in neighboring towns, but had to return home, because these centers had run out of beds. Usually about 30 people die in this village every year, but in the past month alone, villagers have had to cremate 90 bodies, according to Mr. Girjashankar. Many families have lost a lot of loved ones to COVID-19. Girjashankar, 70, still volunteered to go up the hill to cut firewood to help cremate the dead. Many southern states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu have made it clear that they will not share the medical oxygen they have with each other, having to keep it to serve hospitals that are overloaded because the number of patients is growing too fast in their states. Medical aid goods from other countries have started pouring into India since the end of April, but it is still not enough compared to the reality of the shortage in this country. Currently, in addition to urban areas suffering from severe epidemics, Prime Minister Narenda Modi’s government also spends some oxygen and medicine to urgently distribute to the states. However, with this little common ground, remote and isolated localities such as Chogath village (Gujarat state) still have to rely on their own strength.• Drop the body Ganges River because there is no money for cremation Newspaper Indian Express On May 10, Indians discovered more than 40 bodies washed up on the banks of the Ganges River near Bihar and Uttar Pradesh states in the north. Some news channels say that the number of bodies floating in the Ganges must be in the hundreds. In India, there is a custom that when a family member dies, the relatives will tie a stone to the body and drop it into the Ganges River – a sacred river for Hindus. However, many officials and locals believe that these bodies are those who died from COVID-19. Many bodies were partially burned and locals explained that the bodies were not cremated or cremated incompletely due to a severe shortage of firewood. Another reason families choose to drop their loved ones’ bodies in the river is because they can’t stand the cost of cremation, many health workers told the newspaper. New York Times . Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are two of India’s poorest states and are home to about 370 million people. Doctors warn people not to use cow dung on their bodies in the belief that it will help their immune systems deal with the virus or help them recover faster if they get sick. Hindus believe cows are a symbol of life and cow dung or cow urine is therapeutic. However, according to doctors, not only is there no scientific evidence that this can defeat COVID-19 but can also bring many other disease risks.

However, each NTM project is really bringing meaning and change in people’s lives.

The concrete route goes through the orchards of Khmer farmers in Nui To commune Convenient roads There was 1,000m2 of garden land at the foot of Co To mountain, but in the past, the income brought to Mr. Chau Si’s family (To Thuan hamlet, Nui To commune, Tri Ton district) was not much. The reason is that the road from the foot of the mountain to the garden is trails and not convenient for motorbikes, so it is difficult to transport materials and agricultural products. When the People’s Committee of Tri Ton district deployed the construction of a road connecting Soai So Lake to Soai Chek Lake with the length of 1,864m, mobilized by the hamlets and prestigious people of the Khmer ethnic minorities, Mr. Chau Si and more than 130 households Khmer in To Thuan hamlet voluntarily donated the land area with roads passing through, supporting additional costs of scooping land to create the most favorable conditions for the construction unit. The concrete road with 3m wide road surface has just been completed by the end of 2020 (not including the roadside 1m on each side), creating many advantages for people to circulate and transport goods and agricultural products. With a solid design, allowing a payload of 3.5 tons, not only motorbikes but cars, trucks can also circulate from Soai So tourist resort through the Soai Chek tourist site. With this approach, the concrete route connecting Soai Chek Lake (Nui To commune) across the border of An Tuc commune (the road to the Tuc Dup hill tourism area) is 1,235 meters long, the road surface is 3.5 meters wide. convenient for Khmer people to circulate and transport goods. For tourists, visiting and exploring Ta Pa hill, Soai Chek lake, Soai So, Tuc Dup hill is also shortened and more convenient. Up to now, there are 4 communes in Tri Ton district recognized as NTM commune standards: Vinh Gia (recognized in 2016), Ta Danh (recognized in 2017), Luong Phi and Luong An Tra (recognized in 2019. ). By 2020, these communes all maintain the set of NTMs and criteria and are aiming to reach the advanced NTM commune standards. For people in these localities, NTM is not only a title to be proud of, but also brings efficiency and practical benefits. Typically, in Luong Phi commune, thanks to the construction of the NTM, there are now more important roads invested, such as: a concrete road connecting Provincial Road 955B bordering the beginning of Ben Bo canal, connecting Provincial Road 955B bordering the beginning of Ben Xa canal. , Ben Dau street (section 2) … Also in Luong An Tra commune, U-shaped asphalt slab is being upgraded to H7 (section 1). In the commune with the largest number of Khmer ethnic minorities in the province is O Lam commune, which is being invested in a concrete route Pray Ta Pun; An Tuc commune is the canal H7; Le Tri commune is the road from group 13 to football field … Change production mindset From the National Target Program to build NTMs, the face of rural areas in many communes of Tri Ton district has changed many times. In families, thinking of production, cultivation, and husbandry has many innovations, helping to improve the efficiency of farming on the same area, increase income, improve life … Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (Agriculture and Rural Development) of Tri Ton district Nguyen Van Van said that many high-tech agricultural models at district and provincial levels have been supported for implementation. Thereby, creating a demonstration model in the locality to persuade farmers to study and apply. In Co To commune, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Tri Ton district and the locality supported the model of growing hydroponic vegetables in a mesh house according to the model of high-tech agriculture in the district. Meanwhile, in Chau Lang commune is the application model of automatic sprinkler irrigation system remotely controlled by smart phone on jackfruit orchards. The application of water-saving irrigation systems for crops has been widely deployed in the district, including: water-saving irrigation for orange trees in Tan Tuyen commune; irrigation for mango trees in communes: Le Tri, Tan Tuyen, Luong Phi; canola in Nui To commune; jackfruit tree in Lac Quoi commune; Thai custard-apple in Luong An Tra commune. In the communes: An Tuc, O Lam, Vinh Gia are continuing to implement the model of chicken raising on biological mat. In Nui To commune, it is a model of growing hydroponic vegetables in a net house. The provincial agricultural models applying high technology are also supported to deploy in Tri Ton district. In the extremely difficult communes of the district, support is provided for the implementation of automatic irrigation with solar energy to grow fruit trees. Meanwhile, the model of a lemon garden using high technology (water saving irrigation system combined with solar cells) is effective. Below Chek Soai Lake, the model of grid house application combined with economical irrigation system in melon production opens new development prospects. In Lac Quoi commune, the model of application of spray irrigation system at the base of longan showed positive results. Meanwhile, the model linking backyard chicken raising towards VietGAP for tourism helps people increase their income … Along with building NTM commune, Tri Ton district also implements criteria for NTMs standard hamlets for difficult and border areas. Up to now, two hamlets of Vinh Hoa and Vinh Thuan of Lac Quoi border commune have achieved 19/19 criteria, the remaining hamlets are striving, such as Ninh Thanh hamlet (An Tuc commune), An Thanh hamlet (Le Tri commune). , Phuoc Loi hamlet (O Lam commune) and To Thuan hamlet (Nui To commune).

More than 100 corpses of suspected COVID-19 patients have been found washed ashore on the banks of the Ganges River that flows through the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar.

Many states in southern India are warning to stop sharing medical oxygen with each other, protecting all that is available as their hospitals increasingly “swell” because of the increased number of COVID-19 cases. leap. At an Andhra Pradesh hospital, the family of COVID-19 patients went into a rage when the hospital treating their loved ones suddenly had their oxygen supply interrupted. These are the best evidences of the recurring tragedy in India itself. Despair that enveloped New Delhi – the capital of India, over the past few weeks has now spread across the country. Rural areas with poor health infrastructure are slowly feeling the devastation caused by the COVID-19 tsunami. According to the New York Times , it seems that the COVID-19 crisis in India is entering a new phase. Workers deliver oxygen tanks to a hospital in the states of Jammu and Kashmir. (Photo: AP) The number of COVID-19 cases in New Delhi and Mumbai is slowing down. But elsewhere are now really taking the COVID-19 blow. People questioned New Delhi, home to many of India’s top hospitals and packed with the country’s elite that can’t even handle the massive surge in cases, what will happen in the regions. poor countryside. On the night of May 10, a government hospital in Andhra Pradesh fell into a state of oxygen depletion. Doctors frantically call the providers to ask for help. But when the source could not be found, 11 patients died. The families of the patients, after learning of the news, entered the intensive care unit, screaming and smashing the equipment. TV images show the women holding their heads in despair. Doctors and nurses had to flee and wait for the police to arrive. Despite the aid of other countries, India still has a serious shortage of medical oxygen. More than 20 hospitals were depleted of oxygen, nearly 200 patients died from lack of oxygen. Vaccine campaign is being accelerated, but supply is not enough demand. Many vaccination sites in the states have run out of vaccines and people are still unable to schedule vaccinations. When the COVID-19 tsunami shows no signs of cooling down, the wave of criticism against Prime Minister Narendra Modi has intensified. Many people thought that he declared the victory of the epidemic too soon, causing the country to fall off guard. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) remains India’s most powerful political organization by far. But the solid wall the party has maintained over the years is showing some cracks. When the second wave of COVID-19s began to strike India, the country almost split into two extremes. New Delhi, Mumbai – the two largest cities in India warned that the number of new infections increased continuously with the infection rate up to 36%. In rural areas, the epidemic has also spread but has not yet strongly exploded, leaving many people leisurely. Currently, the situation in New Delhi and Mumbai is improving. On May 11, New Delhi reported 12,481 new infections, half the number of cases recorded on April 30. The positive rate for COVID-19 decreased to 19%.

(Image: Getty Images) In Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, the incidence of infection decreased from 25% to 7%. People began to believe that the epidemic was about to end – something they didn’t dare to think about a few weeks ago. Last month, many hospitals in New Delhi were closed due to lack of oxygen. People are not allowed to be hospitalized to die right in front of the emergency room, in front of the hospital gate, or even on the street. When the situation was less stressful, these hospitals accepted the patients again. At the beginning of April, the infection rate in many rural India was only one digit. But now, this number is skyrocketing. “It’s hard to imagine what’s going on in the rural areas, where infection rates rose from 8% in early April to almost 27% on May 11. “, Professor Rijo M John went to the Indian Institute of Management in Kerala state. According to Mr. John, rural India does not carry out testing much and many patients may be dying because they do not receive treatment. On May 11, Modi’s government dispatched an “oxygen express train” to bring liquid oxygen to COVID-19 hotspots in the southern region. But states need more than that. A few weeks ago, several southern Indian states agreed to share oxygen supplies with each other. This week, some started mentioning ceasing to cooperate. The state government of Kerala says it cannot supply oxygen to neighboring states as it needs to retain the entire supply for the state’s growing demand. Tamil Nadu also made a similar statement, claiming he could not be shared with his poorer neighbor, Andhra Pradesh. Earlier this week in the village of Chausa, Bihar state, people panicked when they found dozens of bodies floating mysteriously on the banks of the Ganges River. No one knows who these people are or how their bodies got there. Even on the evening of May 10, images of decomposing bodies in colorful, bulging and floating bodies floating on the river shook the Indian media. Suspected bodies of COVID-19 have been washed ashore in the Ganges river in the past few days. (Photo: PTI) About 30 bodies have been found, most likely, of patients with COVID-19, officials say. Meanwhile local people said they saw about 100 bodies. “I’ve never seen so many bodies,” Arun Kumar Srivastava, a doctor in Chausa said. When the uneasiness of the villagers of Chausa had not passed, their neighbor witnessed the same scene. Villagers in Gahmar village, Uttar Pradesh state found more than 50 bodies of patients with COVID-19 washed up on the banks of the Ganges River as they passed their villages. Krishna Dutt Mishra, an ambulance driver in Chausa, said many poor people were throwing their loved ones into the river when the cremation price increased from $ 27 (more than 600,000 dong) to 200 dollars (more than 4.6 million dong). At many cremation sites, staff in some places charge five or even 10 times more than the usual price. For many families, this is too much for them.

The ‘land fever’ fever appeared in many places, people saw the scene of dragon-man struggling in the previous land plots, still sucking pigs with little human footprints to the bustling places of congregation.

The street people … finished buying the countryside, there was indeed a part of the countryside present on the land. – Photo: Internet City people flock to … buy countryside There are many ways to explain the “land fever” in the tumultuous villages. In part, it is the influence of new urban planning on the trend of displacement, many works are planned to be built or simply opening a road, building a bridge also makes the ground in the area. That area is “cold” suddenly turns “warm”, “fever” gradually increases. Some people also believe that the Covid-19 epidemic has been raging and persistent for a long time, causing many people of the rich to not dare to venture to invest in what fields. Buying land seems to be a sure choice for many people … However, in another aspect, urban people in recent years are also tending to buy land for farm or family resort. weekends. Foreseeing that trend, many young people in the suburbs of Hanoi suddenly became “storks” of land. There are many factors for these rural land “storks” to have outstanding advantages over the city “storks”, they know each piece of land, even familiar with that land owner. Hometown – it is spacious enough to catch the eye, where one can freely hire to plant fruit trees, grow leaf trees, or have a lake enough to feed fish, enough garden – pond – barn The “sell-eat-gradually” model Some people even frankly admit, “stork” is the traditional way of saying, calling to a broker, calling it more practical is that it is the job of selling the countryside to the street people. Street – it is a meeting place with full facilities, where people can easily make a living with their work, but there are also many street people who will sometimes get bored with the noise, bustle, worry. afraid before the food included in the family meal can ensure food hygiene and safety (?!) … So the street people flock … to buy home for themselves and family. Hometown – a piece of land that is spacious enough to see where one can rent fruit trees, leaf trees, or near a stream with water every day, or a lake. To raise fish, enough garden – pond – barn. “The street people… after buying the countryside, it is true that there is a part of the countryside present on the land. But the street people… finished buying the countryside and staying with the countryside is not an easy task. Buying a country, but becoming a real country is not easy! ”. Journalist Ho Viet Thinh If there is a demand, there must be a supply, there are many people in the countryside who are willing to cut a part of land that seems to be small, but it is big for the street people to have an abundant part of money. That’s why there is a saying, in the past, the villagers had the model “VAC”, that is, garden – pond – barn. Today there is another very trendy model, the “BAD”, which is to sell – eat – gradually. The street people … after buying the countryside, there is indeed a part of the countryside present on the land. There are people who have got along with those who share the same interests and buy many plots of land close to each other to be neighbors in the countryside. Together, they make the road spacious, clean and convenient for commuting. Some other people, even though they are in their hometowns, also want their hometown to be like a city or park near their home. The street of the street people must also have street lights bright – red all night, and there are signs leading to each house clearly and meticulously. The land of many street people in the countryside is adjacent to each other like a miniature village, the village of the street people does not have a clear name plate but is often conventional by word of mouth, which can be classified according to the work of the people in the village. that or place of residence. That’s why there is a village in the countryside whose name is like a street, of course it’s just a conventional name. Stay with the countryside But the street people… finished buying the countryside and staying with the countryside is not an easy task. It is like an experience that, at first, we are excited and then we are discouraged. The street people have to hire the countryside to look after their garden house, so the cost is also up. At first, the idea when buying land in the countryside was to plant and take care of each tree and child by hand, but then the experience was handed over to another person, and that other person was paid for the experience that is actually is the homeowner’s excitement. Journalist Ho Viet Thinh That is not the common denominator of many street people. There are also street people, although luxurious and elegant, with great position, great power, but there seems to be a country that flows in his blood. Returning to their hometown on weekends, they are eager for their experience of being a farmer on their land, and that both exercise and bring practical results. Buying a country, but becoming a real country is not easy!

]]> 13501 Writing contest ‘Words in Memory’: Cooperative warehouse and unforgettable memories https://en.spress.net/writing-contest-words-in-memory-cooperative-warehouse-and-unforgettable-memories/ Sun, 09 May 2021 16:47:10 +0000 https://en.spress.net/writing-contest-words-in-memory-cooperative-warehouse-and-unforgettable-memories/ My hometown now has no name, the co-operative warehouse yard no longer exists, but the beautiful memories on the large, wide yard, tiled red ship after that day can never fade.
Talking about the village, people often think of “banyan tree, water station, communal roof” with familiar and simple images that go anywhere, everyone is heading. My hometown is like many other rural areas in the North. Formerly known as Thieu Hung commune, Thieu Yen district, Thanh Hoa province; lying on the banks of the gentle Chu River, running water at night and day, carrying heavy alluvium to fill up the fields of stork flies. But now, the two place-names in the commune and district that look up on the database software of state agencies are no longer available, but replaced by Thieu Hoa town. The name is no longer because my hometown belongs to the administrative center of the new district of Thieu Hoa, which is separated from Thieu Yen and Dong Son districts (old). I have been away from the countryside for a long time, but the memory still imprints the countryside with memories that are so familiar and familiar, so overwhelming.

Place to save memories That old life recedes as quickly as possible into the past like a nap. That was the 70s and 80s of the last century, the time we could never forget with the busy days, the “big screen screen projection, earth theatrical performances” was very special. It was so innocently interesting and the “incidents” lingered in the cooperative’s storehouse full of memories. I remember vividly about the warehouse yards of the three villages of Tri Can, Kien Hung and Duong Hoa. The three cooperative warehouses are in three different villages, but the building style is very similar. When we were growing up, the warehouse was ever there. The yard is very large. All three are located in the center of three villages to facilitate collective activities when the village holds games on holidays, New Year and cultural performances between production teams when the planting season begins, The harvest is over … A movie screening session at the cooperative warehouse yard. (Artwork from the internet) Tri Can village is a warehouse of the second team as the center of three production teams: One, Two, Three. Kien Hung village is the warehouse yard belonging to Team Five, which is the center of four production teams: Bon, Nam, Sau, Bay and this is also the central warehouse yard of Thieu Hung commune. There is another yard in Duong Hoa village. This warehouse is centrally located in the production team 10 for 4 teams: Eight, Nine, Ten and Eleven. At that time, the warehouses at that time, during the rice harvest season, all the production teams of the three villages gathered rice for plucking. By the way, this yard is used to dry rice. During the season, rice was spread over the yard and the young men were assigned to guard the whole area. These days, my hometown is happy like the association, I think back to remember and regret it. The warehouse yard is also a place for mobile film projection teams and art troupes of the province to visit and perform for my hometown people to enjoy with neighboring communes whenever there is an emulation movement. Each warehouse yard is a row of solid and solid warehouses. The warehouse was built very big, very big, located inside the yard and arranged very tidily for the convenience of cars, tractors and oxcarts to pull in and out. The warehouse area has many large houses, used to store staple food, the door is tightly closed so that thieves cannot get in and steal, extending a few rows of headlines. The column is made of something that is difficult to peel off. It seems that the warehouse belongs to a rich farmer from a very distant childhood. The roof is tiled with fish scales, this type of tile is difficult to find nowadays, sometimes there are still a few houses left, but the moss is old and old. This tile roof, birds and bats love because this is the quietest place for them to live because the ceiling is very high, no one can play with. Warehouse fence walls are built with bricks, high green stones. On the wall of that fence, people planted many fragments of glass bottles. We dare not play with these glassware for fear of bleeding. Fear of ghosts – an interesting childhood fear At the end of the rice harvest season or there is no event, the warehouse yard will return to a quiet, dull look and only the rice plucking machine is waiting for another harvest season to come. The tranquility of the yard and the ventilation are the ideal places for our children to play. In the afternoon, we gathered to hop on the ground to measure and measure the length of the yard. Remembering the long yard, we jogged from the north to the south end of the yard tired. The yard is tiled with the red ship, the square brick next to the size of 30 cm, straight line. On this brick background, watching the screen projection on the big screen is very interesting. Because the yard was too large, the children gathered together to count how many rows and bricks would take a long time to finish. Tiles are glaring in the eyes. We are also kind of goofy, so we count the number of bricks for sweating to have a quiz about ice cream betting. Yet many of them also gave up, sometimes even adults. My grandmother heard us arguing about winning and losing about the number of bricks in the garlic-stained yard and immediately threatened: “The yard is hiding a lot of ghosts”. Hearing that, we all panicked and did not dare to go there to play anymore, hiding behind her and whispered: “Grandma, people build a very high wall! How can ghosts hide?”. She did not explain any more. Seeing her silent, we feared and skeptically thought of all sorts of things to weave, whispering loud and small. The fear made us feel even more that if anyone in the village died, it would be early evening that we would not dare to pass the door of our room any more. We believe she is right because she is the person with the most image of that warehouse yard. From then on, whenever we walked across that warehouse yard, no one would say anything to each other, so we could not dare to turn around, afraid to turn around and fear that we could not run. We got past the front yard of the courtyard, and we breathed a sigh of relief, our faces rustling. Many of us even came up with a way to walk across the yard by asking the dog to follow to ease our fear. But sometimes when passing by, I kept hearing the birds singing in the warehouse and the wind blowing even more scared. During the day I was scared to wonder what happened at night. Hello! We scrambled to go in the middle. If the ghost clings, there are people who go first and go after. So every mother sent to the edge of the pond to pick vegetables and it was a bit dark, she would make it up like this and that to avoid going through the yard of the warehouse where she said there were “ghosts”. Later we thought “what the hell are you afraid of? Let’s be a hero!” and just invite each other out to the warehouse to play hide and seek to delight. Time passed by, the warehouse yard in my three villages was gone. Instead, they are the homes of the people in my hometown. Now that the decades have passed, we remember forever the storage yard full of memories at that time when we were delighted to play on the drying ground of the cooperative, and also went to the cinema, opera, row … Sometimes I come back and hang around here in the language of my homeland.

]]> 12712 Dropped leaves filled the countryside fence, selling abroad for a lot of money https://en.spress.net/dropped-leaves-filled-the-countryside-fence-selling-abroad-for-a-lot-of-money/ Tue, 27 Apr 2021 20:10:08 +0000 https://en.spress.net/dropped-leaves-filled-the-countryside-fence-selling-abroad-for-a-lot-of-money/ Along with banana leaves, almond leaves, fresh and dried bamboo leaves are being bought by many small traders for export to other countries as materials for wrapping food and food packages at not cheap prices.
On the net market and online sales groups, many small businesses openly buy bamboo leaves, also known as the “” “” leaf “, with an unlimited quantity. This is a wild tree, grown in abundance in the highlands and plains.

Mr. Tran Van Hai from Lang Son said that for the past few years, his family specializes in purchasing, preliminarily processing and refining all kinds of cake wrapping. In the past, people only used bamboo to build their house, cook, firewood, make cakes, and discarded leaves. But in recent years, fresh bamboo leaves have been collected and purchased by many people and then sold to traders exported to Taiwan for 10,000 VND / kg of fresh bamboo leaves and 40,000 VND / kg of dried bamboo leaves. Bamboo leaves are bought and exported to Taiwan “I myself and my family never thought that bamboo leaves could be sold abroad. It is not until a contact to buy bamboo leaves to return to a traditional Taiwanese cake package that we know that bamboo leaves can be sold and exported abroad. From there, my family went to get bamboo leaves to sell.

The counter selling tobacco leaves, the herbal medicine of Dai Yen villagers is also located on the cement base. Cement and paving stone, have breathed the flavor of the leaves, let the natural look of nature in the market soul. Then the basket is sifted, and the bamboo is less. Second, to bamboo shoots, vermicelli, rice cakes also vacuum. If you keep going to the supermarket at the listed price with the glasses on, sometimes the old mother just gazes blankly … everything in the modern market has changed drastically. Watching people swipe the payment card, no bargaining and no challenge. I go to the market, the soul of the Hanoi fair and the old country market still has something to look back today, to see the figure of the curved lever, the bamboo rays scattered on the shoulders of my mother, her shoulder, of old Hanoi. season.

The number of cooperatives operating exceeded the set target

According to the report, by the end of March 2021, the country had nearly 17,600 agricultural cooperatives and 68 cooperative unions operating in the agricultural sector. Basically completing the target of 15,000 effective agricultural cooperatives assigned by the National Assembly and the Government.

Currently, 56/63 provinces and cities have issued a Resolution of the Provincial People’s Council on policies to encourage production and consumption of agricultural products; 48/63 provinces issued a list of key key products and commodities that need to be encouraged for development; 16/63 provinces have approved projects and joint projects of the province with 359 projects approved.

From 2017 to now, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has advised the Government to issue two important documents, namely Decree No. 40/2017 / ND-CP on management of salt production, processing and trading and Decision No. 1325 / QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on August 31, 2020 approving the salt industry development project for the period of 2021-2030.

To initially form industrial salt production zones in three provinces of Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan.

However, despite strong changes in both quantity and quality, the scale of revenue and the size of members of the agricultural cooperative remains small. Leadership capacity of cooperatives is still limited.

The implementation of agricultural mechanization still lacks strategy and is not synchronous. Important policies such as investment in supporting infrastructure, especially infrastructure for production and business, land policy and especially credit are still the bottlenecks.

Therefore, at the conference, many opinions said that the key point for cooperative development is human, so it is necessary to pay attention to support and improve the cooperative management capacity for the board of directors and the president of the society. board.
