Chapter 332 I declare that from now on, we will never go hungry again!
After leaving the office, Su Wenchen returned to the cafeteria.
I found that Lu Anguo had finished his meal and was sitting aside, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
Director Cai and Dean Lin also came with their people. Each of them took a big spoonful of food and started eating.
See Su Wenchen walk in.
Lu Anguo fanned the fan in his hand.
"Xiao Su, how is it? What did the leader say?"
What did you say?
Su Wenchen thought about it and found that the leader didn’t seem to have given any instructions!
So what does it mean for the leader to make this call?
Are you bored?
This is of course impossible, but after reviewing what just happened in my mind.
Su Wenchen had a vague guess.
That is because we are afraid that he will become arrogant, or that he will become too proud of himself.
However, since he later used the leader's words to issue a military order, the leader did not say anything later.
Thinking of this, Su Wenchen still felt warm in his heart.
Here, Lu Anguo saw Su Wenchen standing there in silence.
"What's the big deal?"
Su Wenchen immediately came back to his senses upon seeing this.
"It's not a big deal. They just asked me to try to arrange someone to help me share the workload. They also said they would report it to the top management as soon as possible."
"Then talk to the local leaders about the land issue!"
Lu Anguo asked with some doubts when he heard this.
"We need to arrange someone for your field? Why didn't the leader tell me just now?"
"Are you short of staff? If not, I can talk to the leader for you."
Obviously Lu Anguo felt that this might be the leader's intention.
However, he knew that some capable people often did not like to delegate the tasks at their disposal.
Especially at this time, he did not want to cause any discord within the Blue Water Farm because of this personnel transfer.
This is also the reason why he has never sent anyone here.
I'm just afraid that if any trouble comes, the thriving farm will instantly fall into internal friction.
Su Wenchen obviously didn't expect that Lu Anguo would say that.
After all, when it comes to arranging personnel at lower levels, subsequent leaders will definitely discuss this with him, and as the leader of the agricultural reclamation department, he definitely cannot skip it.
Su Wenchen was still quite touched by what he said now, so he spoke directly.
"Director, we are really short of people!"
"Especially the person who is in charge of the daily affairs of the branch. We are really short of a host right now."
"Otherwise I can't stay here forever!"
"Besides, I'm still responsible for the technical backbone training in September, and I don't have the ability to split myself into two parts!"
"But Chief, please help us stop those people who come here to make a living!"
"Otherwise, I will definitely bother you every day!"
Lu Anguo nodded.
"Yes, you still have things to do later, so we really can't be without someone in charge here."
In Lu Anguo's opinion, if it was the original branch, there would be no need to have a deputy here.
Because several people's communes were merged, and the leadership system was also merged.
As long as the original people are in charge of the original matters, there won't be any problems.
But when millions of acres of land came in later, the situation was completely different.
In the future, we will definitely have to coordinate various tasks with the local authorities and the ministry, and by then the leadership level of these communes will indeed be insufficient.
So he felt that he had to arrange a more capable deputy here.
Thinking of this, Lu Anguo added directly.
"Okay, I'll definitely help you keep a close eye on things at the Ministry when I get back. After all, your project involves millions of acres of saline-alkali land, and it's now a key project of our Bureau."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately replied.
"Thank you very much, Director. Don't worry, our farm will definitely give the bureau a satisfactory answer later."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Lu Anguo nodded, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
I smacked my lips and found it tasteless.
"This plain water really doesn't taste good right now!"
"Xiao Su, don't tell me about the tea you made for me. It was really hard to drink at first."
"But once you get used to it, it really does have a unique taste."
"No wonder you guys always use it to make tea!"
"I even feel like my muscles and bones are a little bit more relaxed."
"I told you you're such a shrewd little bastard, how could you drink something so disgusting!"
Su Wenchen immediately felt guilty at this time. He looked above Lu Anguo's head to make sure there was no panel or anything like that, and then said carefully.
"Director, are you sure there are any changes in your body?"
"That thing shouldn't be that magical!"
To be honest, he didn't know whether this thing would work on humans.
Because he had never eaten cultivated feed before, but he had fed cultivated feed to other species before, and at that time only the same type could be used together.
And the effect will be greatly reduced.
As for cross-type, for example, a dog eating chicken breeding feed has no other effect.
So Su Wenchen felt that it should have no effect on humans.
However, Lu Anguo found it useful.
"If you want to say it's particularly obvious, it's not, but I do feel quite comfortable after drinking it."
When Lu Anguo saw Su Wenchen's expression, he immediately became angry.
"Xiao Su, you're so stingy! You can't even bear to give me some local herbs to soak in water?"
Su Wenchen was stunned and said hesitantly.
"Director, it's not a problem to give you a pack, but if the taste is not right, you won't mind, right?"
Lu Anguo asked suspiciously.
"What tastes wrong? You're cutting corners!"
"We can't be so stingy!"
"I asked your cafeteria director, and he said that these are all poor families here who can't afford to buy tea, so they use it to make tea leaves and drink it instead!"
"They're not valuable things. If they were really valuable tea, I wouldn't dare ask you for it!"
Su Wenchen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
How do I give this?
Were they giving him feed to soak in water? Or were they giving him herbs he could normally soak in water for drinking?
If the director knew that he drank feed water, he would definitely chop him to pieces!
Afternoon.
Even after noon, the sun in the hot summer still seems to melt everything.
The billowing heat waves on the hood of the jeep were also constantly distorting and deforming in the air.
After dinner, the group of people from Beijing prepared to leave.
Next to the car.
Su Wenchen said goodbye to each of them one by one.
"Director Cai, Dean Lin, our people are all busy harvesting this time. We apologize for the poor hospitality!"
"When you come over next time, we will treat you well!"
Director Cai also said goodbye with a smile.
"Director Su, we're sorry for not hosting you well. We've learned a lot this time."
"But I might disturb you again in the future, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble your farm again then."
Su Wenchen smiled and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter if it's a hassle or not. As long as we can contribute to the country's scientific research, it will be an honor for our farm."
Dean Lin looked a little embarrassed at this time.
"We should be the ones to feel sorry this time!"
"Our people have caused a lot of trouble to your farm this time!"
Su Wenchen replied with a smile.
"This is a hassle. We are all communicating and learning from each other!"
"How can this be considered trouble?"
"Our farm may also trouble you with some agricultural-related issues in the future!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Dean Lin nodded in understanding.
"Don't worry, Director Su, we will be able to help you if you need any help. We at the agricultural academy will definitely do our best."
"Haha, with what Lin Yuan said, we will definitely have to trouble you when the time comes."
At this time, Lu Anguo waved his hand.
"Okay, that's enough. It's too much to stand outside in this weather."
Seeing this, Su Wenchen took a bag of medicinal herbs wrapped in oil paper from Ren Dachuan behind him.
He coughed lightly and said with a guilty conscience.
"Director, this is the local herbal medicine I asked them to prepare for making tea."
"You can drink it normally if you like."
"But the taste might be a little different from what you've had before!"
"Director, please don't mind it!"
In the end, Su Wenchen still didn't give Director Lu the feed to soak in water, because he was afraid that the other party would strangle him to death when he found out.
Lu Anguo asked curiously.
“How can it taste different?”
"What you gave me is a fake!"
Su Wenchen thought about it and said directly.
"It's not fake, it's just that everyone mixes it differently, so the taste is definitely different!"
Later, Ren Dachuan was a little confused. How could the taste be different?
He has been drinking this stuff for so many years and doesn't feel any difference!
Director, is this what you are talking about?
Lu Anguo didn't know why, but he always felt that Su Wenchen was hiding something from him.
But think about it, this is not something particularly precious, so it seems unnecessary!
So I asked with some suspicion.
"Is that true?"
Su Wenchen nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, that's it!"
Lu Anguo couldn't explain what was wrong, so he prepared to get in the car.
But just as he opened the car door, he seemed to remember something.
Pull Su Wenchen aside.
"Ahem, by the way, what's the name of that doctor from your provincial People's Hospital you mentioned earlier?"
Su Wenchen didn't react at first and asked in confusion.
"What doctor?"
Lu Anguo looked around and whispered after seeing that no one was approaching.
"The doctor you mentioned in the office who prescribed you medicine and treated you!"
Su Wenchen suddenly understood, and then looked at Lu Anguo strangely.
"Director, there should be more large hospitals in Beijing!"
"With your current position, Director, you shouldn't be unable to find someone to treat your illness!"
Lu Anguo looked at Su Wenchen and coughed lightly.
"Ahem, that wasn't me. It was an old friend of mine who wasn't feeling well."
Then he said a little embarrassedly.
"He's been seeing someone in Beijing. You know, the best Chinese medicine practitioners are acquainted with a lot of people. It's not convenient for him to see those people, so he can only see an average one!"
"By the way, don't tell him about it!"
Su Wenchen immediately understood when he heard this.
As for old friends!
hehe!
He naturally understood, so he nodded directly.
"Director, I understand. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone except my wife at the time."
"I understand!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell you about it!"
"You can go directly to the hospital and ask for Dr. Fang Hongren. I only drank it for half a month and it was all replenished."
He patted his chest as he spoke.
"Now I'm a good guy again!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Lu Anguo's eyes lit up.
"You made up for it in half a month?"
"Your name is Fang Hongren, right? I've got that!"
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Okay, go back now!"
After saying that, he immediately walked to the car, opened the door and sat in.
Su Wenchen also waved his hand.
"Okay, Director, please take care of yourself. You should control yourself at your age!"
Lu Anguo said directly and stubbornly.
"What's the point of asking about control? I already told you I'm asking this for an old friend of mine!"
"He wants a child, it has nothing to do with me!"
Then he quickly urged the driver!
"Xiao Wu, what are you standing there for? Drive!"
Su Wenchen looked at the three cars raising clouds of dust, smiled and shook his head.
Still friends!
This guy is really tough!
After seeing the guests off, Su Wenchen brought Ren Dachuan to the drying yard.
At this time, the farm workers had already finished lunch and were busy working under the scorching sun.
The entire drying yard is divided into two major areas, one is the threshing area and the other is the drying area.
The threshing area is mainly populated by men wearing straw hats, because threshing is still semi-mechanical and mainly manual.
There are flails with wooden handles and stone rollers pulled by oxen.
Su Wenchen walked over and saw that all the employees in the threshing area were skilled in their movements and cooperated very well.
Seeing Su Wenchen coming over, the man who was sweating profusely and waving a flail to thresh the grain immediately greeted Su Wenchen with a grin.
"Director, you're here!"
"I heard that if you eat white flour at night, you can eat as much as you want. Is that true?"
Su Wenchen first squatted down and grabbed a handful of wheat grains with his hands to see how full they were. Hearing this, he replied with a smile.
"That must be true!"
"I guess the canteen has already started to make dough by now."
"Now that the new grain has arrived, we should let everyone enjoy a good meal."
Hearing this, the other party immediately touched his head.
"Director, if you say that, I can eat as much as I want tonight!"
At this time, the team leader next to him immediately retorted.
"Da Zhuang, what nonsense are you talking about! It's good enough to have white flour to eat, and you're still thinking about having a full meal!"
Hearing this, the other party immediately felt aggrieved.
"What do you mean I'm talking nonsense? It was the director who said that!"
Su Wenchen put the wheat grains back, dusted off his hands and said directly.
"That's what I said. Everyone, please work harder and store the food early. You can eat as much as you want at night. Just don't get too full!"
"Otherwise, if you overeat for this meal, you'll feel uncomfortable later."
"We have developed a new method for treating saline-alkali land. The day when we can eat fine grains every day is not far away."
"So everyone, please don't miss out on countless meals in the future just because of this one meal!"
When someone heard Su Wenchen say this, they immediately laughed.
"Director, that's definitely not the case. We're guaranteed to keep our stomachs from getting overfilled. I've never experienced what it's like to be overfed!"
"Haha, Dazhuang, if you want to experience this, just eat dirt. I guarantee you'll be full!"
"You're stupid, but I'm not. My dad once said that eating dirt is just cheating your stomach!"
At this time, the team leader in charge also said.
"Okay, everyone has rested for a while, let's work harder and store the grain as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I'd be sorry for the big white steamed buns in the cafeteria tonight."
"That's right! I feel so energetic just thinking about the big white steamed buns tonight!"
"Da Zhuang, are you thinking about the steamed buns you want to eat or other steamed buns?"
"Any other two-grain steamed buns?"
"Haha, Dazhuang is still a rookie! What can he understand if you tell him this!"
Su Wenchen next to him was also frowning, but although these people kept talking dirty.
The hands never stopped moving, with several people working together. Some were responsible for pulling the animals, some were responsible for spreading the ground, some were responsible for turning the straw, and finally some were responsible for beating it with a flail!
After a series of operations, you can basically get wheat grains with a threshing rate of more than 85%.
When it is almost all removed, a specialized person will start to lift it up high with a shovel for the final air separation.
The blown wheat husks will be initially separated from the wheat grains under the action of the wind. The separated wheat grains will be loaded onto a cart and sent to the drying area nearby to be spread out for final drying.
For a moment, the entire threshing ground became busy and orderly again.
Afterwards, Su Wenchen didn't bother them anymore because he couldn't really help much.
However, he still thought that when his deputy came over later, it would be better to purchase some matching mechanical threshing equipment for these threshing tasks.
Just like the tractor of their brigade, they spent money to install a traction roller, the effect of which is actually similar to that of a stone roller pulled by an ox cart, both of which are used for crushing and threshing.
However, the effect will definitely be many times more efficient than it is now, and it will also reduce a lot of risks.
Although Su Wenchen was not good at farm work, he knew that the most feared thing when harvesting wheat at this time was rain.
Because the wheat grains are too small and light, they are easily washed away by water in the drying yard.
Even if it is not washed away, once soaked in water, it will easily sprout quickly if it is not dried in time, and it will become inedible.
Thinking of this, Su Wenchen shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands and looked up at the sky.
"Old Ren, the sky looks quite clear, so it's unlikely to rain this afternoon!"
"I don't know what will happen in the next few days. I hope God will not give me any face!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Ren Dachuan, who was following behind, couldn't help but say.
"Director, we have a lot of people on our farm. We only have over 10,000 acres, and we'll almost finish harvesting it by evening."
“Even if there is any left, it will be very limited.”
"The rest is just drying it in the sun. It should only take two or three days and nothing will happen."
Su Wenchen also nodded.
“I hope these days will be like today!”
"Okay, you better go over to the cafeteria and keep an eye on it! Don't let anything unexpected happen."
"I said we'd have a good meal tonight, don't make me break my promise!"
Seeing this, Ren Dachuan smiled and assured.
"Okay, Director, I'll be back first. I'll make sure all our employees have a good meal tonight!"
After they separated, Su Wenchen also walked towards the wheat that was drying in the experimental area.
Time passes.
As the sun slowly set, only a few afterglows remained on the drying yard. The farm workers who had been busy all day also began to stop their work one after another.
In the threshing area, the bundles of wheat waiting to be threshed and bundled have been piled up into small hills and neatly stacked aside.
The wheat grains in the drying area have also been gathered into long piles, waiting to be turned over and dried again after the sun comes out tomorrow.
For a moment, the whole air was filled with the fragrance of new wheat and the salty taste of sweat.
However, at this moment, the faces of all the employees revealed the joy of a good harvest, because they all knew that the more food they had, the less they would have to experience hunger in the future.
Especially those who have experienced hunger know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry, so they naturally cherish the days when they can eat their fill.
On the drying yard, more than a dozen tractors formed a large circle along the drying yard, with one parked at a distance.
Su Wenchen was leading a few employees to put a layer of oilcloth on the truck bed.
"Hey, Director, you still have a way. Sleeping in here tonight is not much different from sleeping at home."
Su Wenchen tied a rope in his hand and brushed off the dust on his hands.
"It's definitely different from sleeping at home, but if we can just make do for a few days, sleeping in the truck bed shouldn't be a problem."
After all, with so much wheat, Su Wenchen must arrange someone to guard it before it is stored!
Otherwise, go back to sleep, there is a 100% chance that someone will come to steal the wheat!
And it's not just to prevent thieves. In case of unexpected weather conditions, the guards here can also cover the wheat with rainproof cloth in time.
This way you can always save some losses.
After everything was arranged here, Su Wenchen looked at the workers who were walking over in groups of three or four, carrying tools, with tired looks on their faces.
But he couldn't hide his anticipation.
He cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"Comrades, today's harvest mission was completed very well. More than 10,000 acres have been harvested. Thank you all for your hard work!"
"Also, our production has almost been calculated. Although only about half of it has been counted, the basic yield per mu is around 220 kilograms!"
"But this is only the first year. If we continue to grow it for a few years and apply more fertilizer, I believe it will be no problem to achieve a yield of 300 to 400 kilograms per mu."
As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers.
Although everyone had basically expected it during the harvest, many people still felt like it was just yesterday when they heard Su Wenchen's announcement.
Because in the past, the yield per mu here was about 80 to 100 kilograms.
The yield per mu is over 200 kilograms, which is comparable to the treatment of the communes around the county.
Now they have this harvest, which means that they no longer have to actively diet and save food every winter.
Many older people in the crowd couldn't help but secretly wipe their eyes.
They finally reaped the rewards of their hard work and finally had a capable leader to lead them!
Su Wenchen continued.
"Another piece of good news is that our experimental fields have been tested and the yield per mu has been calculated."
"The highest yield per mu can reach over 500 kilograms!"
"I declare that from now on, our days of going hungry will be gone forever!"
"As long as we work together and work hard, everyone's life will definitely get better day by day!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, someone immediately shouted excitedly.
"Director, do you mean that all our lands could have the same yield of 500 kilograms per mu as the experimental fields?"
"Oh my god, is this true? Is the yield in the experimental field that high?"
"That must be true! It's right in the northeast corner! The technicians even asked me to help thresh the grain this morning! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"There are four mu of land over there, but it produced more than two hundred kilograms!" said an employee proudly.
Su Wenchen also smiled and nodded at this time.
"It's true that the yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms, but that experimental field was carefully taken care of by three or four of us veterans every day!"
"When the time comes, we won't be able to take care of it so meticulously when we do large-scale farming!"
"But 300 kilograms is definitely achievable!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, someone immediately expressed satisfaction.
"Three hundred kilograms is enough! When have we ever had such a high yield here?"
"Don't worry, leader. We will definitely work hard under you. But do you think I can find a wife in the future?"
Su Wenchen said with a smile.
"Everyone, don't worry. As long as you don't have any bad habits, the employees of our farm will never have trouble finding wives in the future."
"If you're really willing to work hard and still can't find a wife, then come find me. I'll personally take care of you in your old age!"
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense, let's go home and eat!"
As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the field!
Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers!
"Let's go back and eat!"
Then they all hurried over carrying their tools!
Some people grinned as they walked.
"Director, we all remember this! Let's go back and eat white steamed buns!"
A few older people nearby also joined in the fun.
"Zhuang, we can go to the cafeteria and eat white steamed buns, and then we can continue eating when we get home!"
"Get lost, I don't have time for you tonight!"
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, loud laughter broke out in the crowd!
Then, I don’t know who started singing “Returning from Target Practice”, and the entire returning team started humming along!
"The sun sets in the west and the clouds turn red!"
"Soldiers, return to the camp after target practice! Return to the camp!"
