Chapter 143: Shocking the Island

In November, when the weather turned cooler, two earth-shaking events occurred on Pingzhou Island.

The first thing was naturally that the dozen or so saline-alkali rice plants that had been carefully guarded finally matured.

On the day of harvest, not only the county governor and the division commander came, but even a reporter from People's Daily came.

The small area was surrounded by heavyweights.

Even the mayor and the secretary had to stand aside.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath and watched Chen Liangxue preparing to harvest rice in the fields.

Under everyone's careful care, the dozen or so rice plants finally matured.

The golden rice ears bent down under their heavy weight.

The plump and plump rice grains are very pleasing to the eye.

Anyone with experience can tell at a glance that the yield of this single rice plant is no less than that of rice grown on land.

In order to prevent the rice grains from falling on the ground and being lost, Chen Liangxue cleaned up the debris in the field thoroughly before harvesting.

There were two people in the field.

One is Chen Liangxue and the other is town secretary Lu Zhiping.

At this time, he was holding a winnowing basket for rice in his hand. His blood was boiling and his eyes were fixed on the rice in the field.

Chen Liangxue took a deep breath, then raised his trembling hands and carefully cut the first rice plant.

The eyes of the onlookers seemed to be glued to the rice. As the rice was harvested, everyone's anxious hearts gradually relaxed.

But his eyes followed Chen Liangxue's movements slowly and accurately.

Not until the first rice plant was placed on the newly woven winnowing basket did Chen Liangxue breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, his movements became much faster.

The photographer next to him had already started taking pictures with his camera.

The onlookers stared with wide eyes, carefully checking whether there was any fallen rice on the ground.

You have to know that this is saline-alkaline rice, and every grain is very precious.

It was the first time that Su Ranran saw such a scene, with dozens of people watching two people harvesting a dozen rice plants.

Those who know think they are harvesting rice, while those who don’t think it is an archaeological site where some amazing treasure has been unearthed.

However, the value of this rice is indeed an amazing treasure.

Su Ranran watched the rice plants being carefully placed into the winnowing basket, and she was just as excited as everyone else.

Shen He stood straight, his face usually expressionless, but now one could clearly see the excitement in his eyes.

Wang Chunmei has been here for quite some time and has clearly realized how important food is to this newly established country.

In other words, food is extremely important to any dynasty.

If the people can have enough food to eat, the world will be at peace.

Her admiration for Su Ranran and Chen Liangxue, who developed this kind of rice, is beyond words.

At the same time, Wang Chunmei became more and more jealous of Su Ranran.

Because she not only proved that women are no worse than men, but can even be better.

Thinking about the examination at the county machinery factory in a few days, Wang Chunmei felt both excited and nervous.

Under the expectant gaze of thousands of people, a dozen rice plants were finally harvested.

And every grain of rice that fell in the field was picked up.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene!

The entire rice field was then filled with cheers.

"Good! Good! Good! With this, we will have more places to grow rice in the future. Comrade Su Ranran, Comrade Chen Liangxue, you have made a great contribution to the country!"

The division commander Zhao Wenliang praised him repeatedly.

He had just agreed to it casually at first and didn't hold out much hope, but he didn't expect that they would give him such a big surprise.

It is difficult to go from 0 to 1, but it is much easier to go from 1 to ten thousand.

As long as there is rice that can grow in saline-alkali soil, there will be no worries about not being able to develop better rice varieties in the future.

This is a great thing that transcends time!

The reporter from People's Daily was so excited that his face turned red. He picked up his notebook and pen and went forward to interview.

Chen Liangxue, who had never experienced such a battle, was so nervous that he was sweating.

Fortunately, the questions the reporter asked were all about rice.

Although Chen Liangxue was nervous, he was still able to answer fluently.

When asked about his research experience on rice, Chen Liangxue once again mentioned Su Ranran's name.

"This project was proposed by Su Ranran, who consciously cultivated and selected rice seeds. If it weren't for her good breeding of seeds, this saline-alkaline rice would not have been successful so quickly."

Hearing this, the reporter with a keen sense of smell quickly saw the lesbian who was pregnant but still beautiful.

She had done her homework before coming here and knew that in addition to Chen Liangxue, who grew saline-alkali rice, there was also a very legendary military wife on Pingzhou Island.

I heard that she is more than six months pregnant and is almost seven months pregnant. She is very beautiful.

When she saw the lesbian at this moment, she immediately knew that she was the person she was about to interview.

After finishing the visit to Chen Liangxue, the reporter walked towards Su Ranran.

But before she got there, she saw the county governor walking up to Su Ranran with an excited look on his face.

"Comrade Su Ranran, I heard that you have developed a plant adhesive that can be used to grow vegetables directly on sand, right?"

He had just heard a military wife say this.

I heard that the vegetables are ripe for picking.

"Yes, County Governor Zhu, but the vegetable field is in the army's South Island planting base."

Seeing that she did not deny it, Zhu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up amazingly.

The reporter from People's Daily also had his eyes light up.

She really didn't expect that such a beautiful military wife could do so many things without making a sound.

For a moment, she was also looking forward to the interview.

After the harvest in Hanshui Village was completed, the group hurried to the South Island Base.

As usual, this group of people are all heavyweights.

Soon, we arrived at the South Island planting base.

This land is no different from other places, just sandy land with high salinity.

Everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Is it really possible to grow vegetables directly on this kind of land?
