"Yes, Mr. Jiang, this kind of pumpkin requires very high cultivation technology."
"To get pumpkins to grow this big, you need to prune them regularly."
"It also requires proper lighting, fertilization, etc."
"Of course, even without professional technology, the economic benefits of this new pumpkin variety are much better than other pumpkins on the market."
Professor Nong nodded and said that if you want the pumpkin to grow well, you need to fertilize it regularly.
You should also prune the branches and leaves regularly to ensure that the nutrients from the vines are delivered to the pumpkins.
Many farmers are certainly unaware of this professional knowledge.
"Yeah, it's understandable that the cost of growing pumpkins has increased since they've grown so big."
"Let's see if the pumpkin tastes as good as Professor Nong said."
"If that's the case, I believe farmers will be happy to plant it even if the cost is high."
"At worst, we can just provide a pumpkin planting video to guide farmers on how to plant it."
Jiang Che nodded, because of him, so many people lost their jobs.
It is definitely not feasible to rely solely on official arrangements, especially since many farmers are old.
It can't withstand the tossing and turning, and the high-yield seeds cultivated by ourselves can just solve this problem.
Allowing many older workers to settle down in their hometowns and return to the land.
By relying on farming, one can still get rid of poverty and become prosperous.
Only when science and technology and agriculture develop together can China achieve long-term prosperity and peace.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, this pumpkin will definitely taste great."
"This big pumpkin is ready to eat. How about we have it for lunch?"
Professor Nong is quite confident in his work, and this pumpkin can be eaten in a variety of ways.
It is not fully ripe, has fewer seeds and more flesh, is slightly less sweet, and is not as soft and sticky.
But the taste is definitely not bad, much better than other pumpkins on the market.
"Yes, no problem. Professor Nong and everyone else can come to my house for lunch at noon."
"And please call your families too, so that we can all taste this pumpkin together."
"If there's no problem, I'll send them to the Spring City breeding base for seedling cultivation."
The families of Professor Nong and others have all come, but they haven't been invited to their home for dinner yet.
This is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. We'll be in your presence for the rest of the day."
"Let's look at other improved crops."
Professor Nong quickly agreed. The food at Mr. Jiang's house is not just delicious.
It also has very good therapeutic effects, and eating one of them is a blessing!
While they were talking, Jiang Che and Professor Nong had already arrived at the next planting area.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Che smelled the strong aroma of leeks.
That’s right, all that’s grown here are green chives.
These leeks are different from common leeks. The leek seedlings grow very thick.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s green onion.
"Boss Jiang, this is our improved leek."
“Not only are the plants bigger and thicker, but they also grow a lot faster.”
“After harvesting the above-ground portion, it only takes three days to harvest again.”
"It also contains more nutrients, and has very good effects on nourishing the kidneys and improving essence, as well as promoting diuresis and relieving constipation."
Professor Nong looked at the green leeks with excitement on his face.
I believe no man would refuse such delicious vegetables, right?
Chives are perennial herbs. They grow again after each cutting, and can be harvested for two to three years after being planted once.
It is recognized as the best vegetable to grow.
Several agricultural professors around him smiled when they saw the leeks.
They walked forward, pinched a piece of chive leaf, put it in their mouths and started eating.
Whenever they come here to inspect, they always eat a few leek leaves.
The effect is also quite obvious. They clearly feel that they are more stable and can last longer.
Jiang Che pinched a handful of leaves and put them into his mouth to eat.
When eaten raw, leeks are a bit spicy at first, and the taste is a bit pungent, like the taste of varnish.
However, once you get used to the smell of the varnish, you can taste the sweetness of the leeks.
The more you eat, the more you like it. It tastes pretty good.
"This leek is good and has reached the standard for mass production."
"I'll have someone send it to the Spring City base later."
After tasting the leeks, Jiang Che nodded and approved of this improved leek.
Chives have low planting costs and grow quickly, so farmers can quickly cash in if they plant them.
It is perfect for promoting planting.
The large breeding base in Chuncheng was actually built with government help.
The last time Longya Rice came out, the government was preparing for its promotion.
A large amount of manpower, material and financial resources were organized to establish a one million hectare planting base in Chuncheng.
Some of the dragon tooth rice seeds have been taken there for planting, and Jiang Che also provided a batch of nutrient solution to the officials.
"It's great that President Jiang is satisfied. We have finally made some achievements here."
Professor Nong and others were very happy that the product was recognized by Jiang Che.
The Ju Mang gene editor is such a sophisticated device, so I taught them how to use it.
Professor Nong and others were full of gratitude towards Jiang Che, and always wanted to make some achievements to repay Jiang Che.
After studying for so long, I finally gained something.
"Professor Nong, please don't be polite to me. I was the one who did all this."
"I'll leave it all to you now, just don't feel tired."
"By the way, I just saw that you, Professor Nong, have improved cotton. How are the results?"
Jiang Che smiled and quickly changed the subject.
"Boss Jiang, just come with us and we'll know."
Professor Nong quickly took Jiang Che to the next planting area.
Here, Jiang Che saw the improved cotton.
Each cotton plant grows as tall as a small tree, and its branches are covered with flowers as big as bowls.
Some branches still have huge cotton balls hanging on them, and they have already exploded.
But I didn't see any cotton wool being vomited out.
"Please take a look, Mr. Jiang."
Professor Nong picked up a cotton ball and held it in front of Jiang Che.
You will see that the cotton inside the cotton ball becomes like a sponge.
"There's something wrong with the genes of this batch of cotton. Although yields have increased, the cotton isn't producing fluff."
"This kind of cotton doesn't keep you warm at all, and it's impossible to spin it into yarn, so we're still working on improving it."
Professor Nong picked out a piece of cotton. The piece of cotton that had not exploded was about the size of a grapefruit.
If it exploded into cotton wool, it would probably be half the size of a grapefruit.
Unfortunately, despite so many improvements, it still failed.
"That's pretty good. I believe you'll succeed in no time."
Jiang Che nodded after reading it and said with a smile.
Being able to improve cotton to this state is already quite a success.
Jiang Che used his spiritual sense to take a quick look at the cotton seeds and found that there was something wrong with the gene chain.
These are all minor problems, and with Professor Yinong and his team's current abilities they should be able to discover them quickly.
"Okay, I have to go see some other places, so I'll leave first."
