Every year, on summer days, after the pouring rain in early summer, lotus leaves are green on the lakes and ponds along the countryside. The lotus leaves that come out of the water are immediately spread out to catch the sun and the dew drops that fall at night. Lotus leaves are simple and sexy. Lotus leaves have two different sides, the upper surface is dark green and blue, the lower surface is silver and dusty like looking at the bottom of clear water. Usually the lotus leaf spreads out like a jade plate, catching the sun and clouds, the island welcomes the wind and ripples, adorning the pink lotus bud. Lot of rippled buckets push leaves swaying. The season of lotus leaves is summer, the season of the most brilliant sunshine of the year. The sun watered down the lotus leaves, catching the wind blowing up to soften the summer fire. Not only that, the lotus leaves also spread out, like a roof to protect green frogs, sharp frogmen, and even schools of jet-black perch swimming around. Especially, in those old days, after the countryside markets, the teenagers were often eager to welcome their mother or grandmother back from the market. Because after the market, mom will always have gifts for them when they come back. The gifts they receive from their grandmother’s hands are often wrapped in pieces of lotus leaves. Especially the steamed sticky rice is still hot and fragrant. The inherently fragrant and delicious sticky rice is also wrapped by lotus leaves, so the sticky rice is even more fragrant and delicious. Perhaps apart from lotus leaves wrapped sticky rice, it is difficult to have any leaves or paper wrapped sticky rice better. When I was young, I was told by my mother that lotus leaves, especially lotus leaves, can also make a cool medicine, regulate yin and yang, pick lotus leaves and cut them into small pieces, and cook with gold stars. Drinking can reduce high blood pressure, reduce dizziness, headache, eat well, sleep easily. That’s it, friends, lotus leaves are not gorgeous, not colorful, but very simple like a village girl walking in a rice field. Through the months of May, lotus leaves are still brought to our hearts from time to time. When the lotus leaves have solidly radiated, gradually covering the water surface, it is also the time when the first lotus buds of the season turn to the water. The lotus flowers bear the shape of a purple-white lotus, expressing purity, waiting for faithfulness. Personally, in the faint smell of lotus in early summer, I am deeply reminded of poet Xuan Hoang (Hoang Binh Thi). I miss Hoang the most when Hoang and us sit on the grass along the banks of the Perfume River in the summer days to chat and talk. Hoang has a very gentle smile and talks about flowers. Hoang talked about chrysanthemums – small chrysanthemums, thick petals, bright yellow like autumn sun; Hoang talked about the white lily flower, a modest flower like small butterflies with sparse hedges … and especially, when talking about lotus, Hoang expressed his feelings about this flower in a very subtle way. economic. Hoang said: “It is not by chance that King Minh Mang during the casting process of Cuu Dinh ordered to engrave the image of Lotus (Lotus) on the second peak named Nhan Dinh. From there, the lotus became one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. 9 flowers of eternal fame on the Nine Peaks Dedicating their pure beauty to humans The lotus is a metaphorical natural entity. It is possible to see in each petal the universal meanings of life. For example, how can there be such lovely white lotus flowers out of the mud? For example, the lotus can only live in mud but must be clean mud, mud but not mud? As for the pearly white color of the lotus flower, I still have to spend a lot of money on ink and paper. It is a multidimensional collective silk with fluttering veins. The process from mud to flower, from mediocrity to transcendent beauty, the fruit has gone beyond human interpretation. It is not simply the compliance of a certain biological law, but the beauty embodied like from a fairy tale. And it can only be explained by fairy tales.” “The uses of the lotus are innumerable. Lotus leaves are used to wrap gifts and cakes. The cellulose peel is as good as a banana leaf. Young lotus leaves wrapped in sticky rice or nuggets keep the flavor for a long time. Lotus root makes jam, it’s the best jam that can cure diseases. Lotus soaked in sour vinegar makes a drink in the top category. Then lotus heart, lotus seeds can be used for many other things. But above all the value of everyday use, is still the beauty of the lotus. A beauty that is silent, discreet and profound.” Is that why I love so much this cactus flower, so compassionate, so alluring. The fragrant lotus scent in summer makes me so happy? Ever since I knew what it is to be a beautiful flower, I immediately began to like the flower that is near the mud but doesn’t smell like mud. For a long time, the scent is cool, the lotus petals are sometimes soft pink, sometimes white. Young green always makes me think of the most youthful and lovely image of a girl.The lotus flower is the flower of the country, a country is in its youth, burning up, but in the heart. I thought that was also the image of a shy but personality girl, strong but loyal, skillful and delicate of this beloved country! Thinking about lotus forever, suddenly rushed into my mind the masterpiece “Thai Lien Khuong” (Song of the lotus picking) by the famous poet Bach Cu Di: “Tomb of Diep Hoanh Ba Ha Chieu Phong / Ha Hoa deep in the land of small boats. / Phung lang sex language for the first time / Bich Ngoc Tao is in the middle of water”. Translated as: “The waves sway the leaves, the wind shakes the flowers/ The lotus grove gently glides by/ With a smile on his face, his heart wants to say/ The deep pond falls into the ivory brooch” …Yes, Another lotus season has come…

Raising pigs in a closed cold barn is a new direction in livestock development In 2019, according to professional statistics, Thap Muoi had nearly 10,000 pigs of 406 households destroyed due to African swine fever. Like other pig-raising households, Ms. Luong Thanh Huong’s farm of nearly 500 pigs in Hamlet 3, Tan Kieu Commune also destroyed 164 pigs, it is worth mentioning that in the same place, but the cages are raised in the traditional form. disease, and the cage in the form of a closed cold barn (just a few meters away) was completely unaffected. Ms. Huong said that last year, due to the African cholera epidemic, her traditional farm was also affected by the disease and had to be destroyed a lot, but in the form of a closed cold barn, she was not affected. rebuilt the barn, raising all in the form of cold barns. Raised in this form, pigs grow quickly, reduce a lot of costs and are consumed at a higher price than the market. The closed cold barn system is divided into 3 areas including: food processing area, pig raising area and biogas cellar complex to treat manure and wastewater. This is a modern farm with full equipment such as water cooling system, exhaust fan, automatic feeding and drinking trough, automatic temperature control system inside… Model of the barn. closed cold, the temperature is always stable, the pigs are less tired due to the influence of the hot sun, helping the pigs to exercise well, eat well and grow stably, less effort to take care and clean pigs should be consumed with price is higher than the market. Therefore, there are many breeding households coming to learn the model of livestock by a closed cold barn system. Also a large pig breeder, Ms. Nguyen Thi My Em from Hamlet 4, Tan Kieu Commune is intending to rebuild the barn in the form of a cold-closed barn, but is still facing financial difficulties. Raising pigs in a closed cold barn system is a new direction in livestock development today, but the initial investment is relatively large. Mr. Nguyen Hong Sang – Deputy Head of Technical Training and Technology Transfer Department, Thap Muoi Agricultural Service Center said: “Effectiveness when raising livestock in the form of closed cold cages is clear, but the common difficulties of farmers are obvious. raising livestock in the district is the source of capital, because raising according to this model requires relatively large capital. Dong Thap also has policies to support the development of household livestock production, but it is difficult for people to access this capital due to the habit of small-scale livestock production, which the policy is bound to be on a large enough scale, depending on the type of livestock. but have different regulations, must link consumption, environmental protection issues… so it is difficult for people to access”. In order to keep livestock from being affected by the epidemic, ensure environmental hygiene, safety and efficiency, in the coming time, Thap Muoi needs to strengthen the propaganda to change the practice of small and fragmented livestock to form of farm farming, concentrated, self-contained, sustainable livestock production.
