Chapter 464 Successful Grafting
Eleven o'clock at night is already very late in the extreme cold, and most people have already gone to bed for a long time and are in a deep sleep.
So Han Ying didn't plan to say anything to them at this time, and just asked Qin Qinghai to go back and rest quickly.
But she saw Qin Qinghai, who was wearing thick winter clothes, but was still shaking all over.
The best thing to do at this time is to let him lie down on the kang as soon as possible.
The two of them returned to the third floor with the dumplings.
The new type of tomatoes grown on the third floor are growing well. The black and purple tomatoes on the branches are large or small, and most of them can be picked.
Next to the new tomatoes are rows of small potato seedlings that have just been transplanted into snow trays.
Ignoring the crops in the living room and other rooms, the two went straight into the room.
There are also four planting pots placed next to the kang in the room.
One pot contains long peppers, one pot contains round eggplants, and two pots contain black and purple tomatoes.
The crops in the four planting pots are growing well, and we can already see the highlights.
These four pots are grafted crops made by Lu Yuan himself.
The rhizomes of the new tomato were grafted onto ordinary peppers and eggplants.
Then the upper part of the cut new tomato is grafted onto the potato seedlings.
If successful, it would perfectly solve the problem that the mutated seafood mushroom juice has no effect on ordinary crops.
It can also make ordinary crops less resistant to the extreme weather in the end times.
Crops can also be grown with hunger-resistant potatoes growing at the bottom and new types of tomatoes growing at the top, so that more space can be freed up to grow other crops.
These are also the main reasons why Lu Yuan agreed to take over the farm.
He originally planned to tell Professor Li about this matter after the fruit was successfully grown, but he didn't expect that Professor Li collapsed before he could tell him.
Now these four crops have bloomed and will bear fruit soon, so it is obvious that they are successful.
After checking the growth of the four pots of crops, Han Ying took Lu Yuan and Tang Yuan into the space.
The weather was too cold, so the two of them would take a bath for a while every day.
Some mugwort water or ginger soup is added to the bath water, which can also effectively drive away the cold.
Although it was very late, after taking a bath, they each took out a bowl of noodles for a midnight snack.
Han Ying had seafood noodles, Lu Yuan had beef noodles, and each of them had a poached egg.
It was just a big bowl, just enough to fill their stomachs considering their current appetite.
After all, they just had a quick bite in the car at night and didn't eat enough.
Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, I went to the roof to shovel snow as usual, and then went downstairs to shovel the snow in the yard with everyone.
There were already three people outside the yard, shoveling the snow near the wall.
A cart was parked outside the wall, waiting for Han Ying and the others to shovel out the snow and then transport the people away.
After shoveling the snow, everyone went upstairs tremblingly.
At the staircase on the second floor, Lu Yuan stopped and turned to look at the people who were about to enter and said, "Brother Lei, Teacher Qin, please come up to the third floor. Han Ying and I have something to discuss with you."
"good."
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai didn't think much about it and nodded to indicate that it was no problem.
Han Ying walked in front and went upstairs first.
When we had the New Year’s Eve dinner before, everyone sat on the kangs of the two families downstairs.
The weather is too cold and the living room is not suitable for discussing business.
So Han Ying also invited Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai to the kang in their room.
However, everything that shouldn't be in the room had already been put away.
Including the two sets of radiators, which were also put away by Han Ying after she got up in the morning.
Instead, two stoves were brought out, burning bamboo charcoal.
After getting on the kang, Lu Yuan got straight to the point: "Brother Lei, Teacher Qin, do you want to work on the farm?"
"farm?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai looked at each other, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question.
In fact, we had discussed the work matter before. The extreme cold, heavy snow and wind blades made it very unsuitable to go out to work.
Moreover, Hongmei Village is quite far from the working places, and it takes at least an hour to walk there.
It's such a cold day and it's snowing heavily. Walking outside for an hour is no joke.
But the two also knew that Lu Yuan would not ask casually. There must be some very good position or something.
"Han Ying and I have already contracted the entire farm at the base yesterday. We will probably go back and forth between the farm and here every day in the future."
"So if you are interested in working on the farm, we can work together or we can lend you the other car."
In addition to the RV, there was also a truck in the yard.
Although the weather was cold, the truck should be fine as long as they installed anti-skid chains on the wheels and were careful.
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qin Qinghai and Lei Minghu both opened their mouths in shock, and for a moment they didn't know if they had heard it wrong.
Aren’t the farms on the base officially owned?
How many points or materials are needed to contract a base farm?
Han Ying and Lu Yuan have been silent, have their wealth become so terrifyingly rich?
Moreover, can official farms be contracted out to private individuals at will?
The series of questions in their minds left Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai speechless for a long time.
But the two knew that Lu Yuan would definitely not brag, so if he said he had contracted it, then he must have really contracted it.
That's why the two were so shocked.
"So what do we need to do?"
Lei Minghu retracted the shocked expression on his face and asked.
Since Han Ying and Lu Yuan have contracted the farm and are now asking them if they want to work on the farm, it is obviously impossible for them to just simply farm.
They probably want them to take up some important positions.
"You said, if we can do it, we won't refuse."
Qin Qinghai also knew that although Lu Yuan and the others might need a few trustworthy people, wasn't this also an opportunity for them?
No matter how much wealth you have, there will come a day when you will run out of it.
What’s more, who can guarantee that society will return to normal after this extreme cold?
It never hurts to stock up on some stuff.
"I'm not sure what to do yet. We'll see after we officially take over. I'm just letting you know in advance."
Han Ying placed the poured ginger tea on the small table on the kang and asked everyone to take a cup and drink.
"Okay then. If you need us, just let me know."
Lei Minghu blew on the cup of ginger tea in his hand.
Then Lu Yuan took out the map of Jiangcheng and circled the current location of the farm with a red pen.
You know what, it’s really big.
According to what Professor Li said before, the entire farm now covers nearly 1,000 acres and is still in the process of being reclaimed.
It is really not easy to open up such a large piece of land in the city.
