Chapter 631 This is indeed what we planted
Lu Fan handed the key to Shang Ruoting and said with a smile, "Let me wish your father a prosperous business."
"Thanks to Mr. Lu's good wishes, business will definitely be good."
The two exchanged pleasantries and then went about their business.
Shang Ruoting returned to the courtyard and handed the key to Shang Lifeng, asking him to ask Tan Chen to take a look at it in the next few days, and then renovate it before reopening.
Shang Lifeng wanted to bring up the issue of paying the rent, but after thinking it over he decided not to say it.
Given his daughter's personality, she probably wouldn't accept the rent he gave her. If he mentioned it casually, it would inevitably make Tingting feel alienated from him.
Therefore, Shang Lifeng and Chen Shurong tacitly did not mention it.
This is also a tacit understanding among relatives. Shang Ruoting really cannot collect rent from them.
It is absolutely unacceptable that someone should pay her rent for using the house under his own name.
After delivering the keys, Shang Ruoting looked at Old Mrs. Shang and her two daughters before returning to the village in the suburbs.
Today is the time when Huang Baosen comes to class. He is asking students about the completion of their homework in front of the experimental field.
Shang Ruoting arrived late, and in order not to disturb the class, she tiptoed to Zhang Xiaohong and Xu Lijie.
At this time, a classmate was answering Huang Baosen's question.
"Teacher, I think that no matter what kind of land it is, the country is currently short of food, and these lands must be used to grow food. As for what to grow, it depends on what the country needs most."
Several classmates nodded in agreement with his statement.
Huang Baosen's face turned a little dark. He really didn't know how these students got into Peking University. A student majoring in agriculture could actually say such low-level words.
Did he become stupid from studying too much?
The behavior of a few people cannot represent the whole group. There are still some students who have done their homework seriously.
"Teacher, I don't agree with what this student said."
Yang Xiaojuan raised her hand and prepared to speak.
Huang Baosen suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, then please let this student tell me if he has any different opinions."
Yang Xiaojuan must have done her homework. It is no secret that Beihe Province has successfully planted double-season crops. Anyone who pays attention to agricultural news knows about it.
"I think growing soybeans in clay soil should not affect yields, no matter what the crop is, because what we need now is high yields.
Also, corn can be grown on clay soil. I also heard that in a county town in Bac Ha Province, such land can produce two crops every year: corn in the spring and winter wheat in early October.
Only by mastering the technology of double-cropping can we truly achieve high grain yields.”
Shang Ruoting didn't expect that people outside knew about her planting two crops in Sihe Village. She must have put a lot of effort into this matter.
Soon, someone began to refute Yang Xiaojuan's words.
"You make it sound easy. You've only heard of this kind of technology. It's not mature yet. It's simply wishful thinking. Farming is like being a human being. Only by being down-to-earth can you be safe."
"You're right. We don't have such technology yet, so we shouldn't be too ambitious."
"I've also heard that some people in Northern River Province can grow two crops a year, but I don't know if we can do the same."
Seeing that the students were discussing enthusiastically, Huang Baosen did not stop them, but looked at Shang Ruoting who seemed to be thinking about something.
He had heard before he came here that the first place in Beihe Province to successfully grow two crops was Sihe Village. Huang Baosen unconsciously thought that the great contributors were most likely Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.
In order to confirm his guess, Huang Baosen called Shang Ruoting aside while the classmates were discussing heatedly.
"Shang Ruoting, they say the double-season crops grown in Beihe Province are the work of you and Tan Chen, right?"
If that's the case, he could stop being an agricultural expert and just take Shang Ruoting as his teacher.
It's not that he doesn't understand the principles of double-season crop cultivation, however, that only applies to the geography and climate of the south. If it were Beihe Province or the capital, Huang Baosen wouldn't dare say that he could grow double-season crops.
Shang Ruoting had no intention of hiding anything and generously admitted, "We indeed grew this."
Huang Baosen's eyes lit up when he got a positive answer. If he hadn't had a bit of rationality left in him, he would have almost pulled Shang Ruoting away immediately and sincerely become her disciple.
Even so, Huang Baosen's excitement was beyond words.
"Shang Ruoting, do you think we can also grow double-season crops in our experimental fields?"
In fact, when Huang Baosen assigned homework to everyone for the first time, Shang Ruoting had thought about this question, and it was also the topic she was preparing to answer today.
"Teacher Huang, as you know, growing double crops in our area is much more difficult than in the south, but it's not completely impossible."
