After figuring all this out, Da Yuanzi actually pulled a brown paper bag out of his briefcase and pushed it in front of Zhao Youcai.

"These are our requirements and conditions. Comrade Zhao, please take a look and see if they suit your taste?"

Zhao Youcai was actually too lazy to read written materials, but since the other party was from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they represented the country.

Who dares to challenge the state? That's like an old man who's tired of living.

"Luckily, I am an educated person, otherwise I would have had to ask someone else to read this thick stack of documents for me."

The wronged man's face froze instantly, secretly relieved that Zhao Youcai was literate.

It's all his fault for staying in Beijing for too long and forgetting that most people in the countryside, especially in the villages, are illiterate.

Fortunately, Zhao Youcai could read; otherwise, his actions would have absolutely offended people.

If he overlooks such a minor detail and it affects the whole situation, he'll have nowhere to turn to complain.

Meanwhile, the researcher from the Heilongjiang Province high-yield corn seed base, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, and his bodyguards, were all very quiet. They showed no intention of interrupting their conversation, nor did they immediately reveal the purpose of their visit.

In their view, things must be done one step at a time. Whether it's because the other party is not to be trifled with, has a temper like a mad dog, or because of the order of arrival, they have to wait.

He just didn't expect that Zhao Youcai would simply take the contents of the brown paper bag out and hold it in his hand without looking through it.

Instead, she smiled and looked in his direction, her tone softening slightly.

"And you? What brings you back to my house this time?"

The researchers originally didn't intend to bring it up in front of so many people, since it was their research project.

But since the other party is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they are essentially our own people working hard for the country.

As soon as their fertilizer for increasing production is released, it means that Beijing will definitely receive the news.

If there is a surplus of grain, besides enough to feed the people of one's own country, the excess will definitely be sold abroad.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is always involved in any transaction with foreigners.

Since we'll be in the same boat sooner or later, it doesn't make much difference whether it's a day earlier or a day later.

Judging from how much they cherish Zhao Youcai, they can probably guess roughly how much they know about this.

Besides, it wasn't them interrupting; Zhao Youcai asked the question first. They couldn't just turn their backs on him and act all high and mighty, could they?

So, the research institute, disregarding the expressions of the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, smiled and took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase.

Unlike the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this one not only has illustrations but also a voice recorder.

"Because we didn't know Comrade Zhao's knowledge reserves, let alone how many words you knew, our people made several preparations."

The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this.

Look!

These are small details that other people can notice, yet these diplomats who deal with people all year round have never paid attention to them.

When translating foreign languages, Mingming thoughtfully tried every means to describe words that didn't exist in those countries.

Things that are truly difficult to describe, such as various desserts or other items not found in other countries, will be drawn, and their taste will be described.

Why are they so careful and considerate towards foreigners, but completely different when they come to their own country's citizens?

This must be corrected. I need to write a self-criticism and post it on my wall as soon as I get back.

As for writing a self-criticism to the boss, let's forget about it.

If the leader thinks he's incompetent, and he proactively submits this self-criticism, it's like leaving himself with the potential for demotion or unemployment. He's not stupid; why would he do such a thing?

“I already know why you've come. The documents are quite thick, so I'll have to wait until I've finished reading them before I can give you a reply.”

Both groups realized that Comrade Zhao Youcai was subtly trying to get rid of them.

None of them were thick-skinned, and both were quick-witted, so they naturally got up and took their leave from Zhao Youcai's house.

"Father, what are they doing...?"

Zhao Youcai waved his hand to interrupt his third son, who was about to continue speaking, "I'm hungry, quickly prepare some food for me."

As for these two things in my hand, it doesn't matter if I look at them later.

After all, he had not been on a temporary post at the base, nor had he made any promises to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Their anxiety stems from the fact that it's their job and the purpose of their trip, not from the fact that Zhao Youcai should be led by the nose.

Zhao Youcai's public image is that of a rural old man with a lot of clever ideas and a talent for business.

Oh, let's add one more advantage: looking good in old age.

It's not my fault that the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to me. Even if I do nothing, I don't think they will do anything to retaliate against me.

But in Zhao Youcai's view, the matter at the high-yield corn seed base was far more important than the matter at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Once the fertilizer for increasing production is officially put on the market, there will be more grain crops available.

Then I can just take lots and lots of stuff from the farm and use it, and no one will notice anything wrong.

Moreover, Zhao Youcai plans to further expand the variety of snacks sold in the food factory, and potato chips and fries are indispensable.

Especially sweet corn, it tastes delicious no matter how you cook it.

Zhao Youcai would never admit that he simply wanted to look at the materials with illustrations first.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Youcai's mind went completely blank.

I thought you'd draw the growth process of crops after using chemical fertilizers, but what are these drawings?

Is this a disassembled version of the periodic table?

Why does it look so much like the messy stuff drawn on the instruction manuals for medicines bought in later generations?

After quickly flipping through several pages, Zhao Youcai's eyelids twitched violently.

Sure enough, he overestimated the researcher's artistic talent.

How could someone who is single-mindedly focused on research possibly think of so many details unrelated to their research?

However, he did read what was written on the cover.

"Third brother, tomorrow morning you go to the guesthouse and pick up the researchers from Heilongjiang Province so they can take a look at our backyard vegetable garden."

Zhao Youcai's vegetable garden is almost becoming a famous tourist attraction.

Not only do the villagers of Zhaojiagou frequently visit, but even prominent figures from the town and county who come to buy vegetables from Zhao Youcai's home will ask to visit his vegetable garden.

There was no way around it; not only was Zhao Youcai's vegetable garden exceptionally well-managed, but the vegetables also grew better and in greater quantities than those of other people.

Many people want to learn how to grow vegetables from Zhao Youcai's family, but unfortunately, everyone in Zhao Youcai's family is too busy and says they don't have much time to manage their vegetable garden.

I only occasionally weed or fertilize, and when the kids come home from school or on holiday, I carry buckets of water to water the plants. That's all I've ever done.

The third brother wasn't surprised that someone was coming to check on his vegetable garden; he was used to it.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know what to do."

What Zhao Youcai hadn't expected at all was...
