Meanwhile, in the rice paddies, after the Miao people had returned to work in the fields, the old man surnamed Jian approached Mu Achen.
"Young man from the Miao family, we are from an agricultural school. My surname is Jian, and this is my student, Yi Ming."
"That Mr. Zeng was a businessman Yi Ming knew in his early years. It's a pity he was blinded by money and lacked even the most basic morals. I hope you won't take it to heart, young master."
This old man was quite kind at the beginning; otherwise, Mu Achen wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
"Young man, the rice you grow is amazing! There is no rice with such a high yield in our country."
“This ear of rice has at least 540 grains. With the density you planted, it can produce at least 2,000 catties of rice per mu after it matures.”
"In our Great Xia, in places with excellent conditions, a rice stalk can have two hundred grains, and the yield per mu can reach 1,200 jin of rice, which is considered the highest yield."
"But here in your Miao region, not only has the price doubled, but the aroma of this rice is so strong! This is real rice!"
"Young master, this is a miracle! Not to mention this era, even twenty or thirty years from now, rice with such yield and quality will be the pinnacle of rice production. So, old man, may I ask, did you cultivate this rice seed yourselves?"
Actually, when Old Man Jian started talking about rice, Mu Achen had already wondered which agricultural school the old man came from!
Looking back now, it wasn't simple at all.
Sure enough, Old Man Jian launched into a long explanation of rice, even mentioning the planting times for early, mid, and late rice.
There are even various factors that affect rice yield due to different regions.
Now, Mu Achen couldn't help but ask curiously, "The old man must be a professor at an agricultural university, right?"
"Young man, my teacher is a professor at Daxia Agricultural University," the old man's student, Yi Ming, immediately introduced himself.
Mu Achen suddenly realized, and wore an expression that said, "No wonder."
But Old Man Jian said, "It's nothing to mention, nothing to mention at all! The Miao people are full of mystery. If it weren't for my old friend's invitation, I wouldn't have known that in addition to the sacred fruit and the melon fields in the legendary Starry Sky Fruit Forest where the climate is so unusual that they can be cultivated, there is also this rice with extremely high yield."
"Miao Family Starry Sky Orchard?"
"Yes! Young brother, you are from the Miao people, so you should know that two old men came here a month ago, right?"
Ah Chen nodded.
Old Man Jian continued, "That old fellow surnamed Chi invited me here! But now I don't want to go to that orchard anymore, young master, what about the rice seeds in your paddy field..."
This old man, he can't stop talking about his old profession.
Mu Achen said, "These rice grains were given to us by the clan elders; we are only responsible for planting them."
Miao ethnic elders?
This really stumped the old man surnamed Jian!
You see, in the two days they've been here, they've heard a lot about the Miao people from the Han people who were drawing lots to buy sacred fruit at the fruit shop. You can imagine how difficult it is for someone of high status in the Miao family to get ahead.
They can't even see the village chief of the Miao village now.
But---
Old Man Jane has a new research direction now!
If we could research and develop a breakthrough in this field of rice with its exceptionally high yield and quality, and widely promote this technology, the grain production of the Great Xia Dynasty would undergo a complete transformation.
Therefore, he directly showed Mu Achen his work permit and ID card, hoping to be able to enter the rice paddy to conduct research.
Mu Achen never expected that another professor specializing in agriculture would come to the Miao village.
However, he did not agree, saying that he could not make the decision.
Old Man Jian was quite discouraged by this.
soon---
It was mid-June when Mu Achen rode his horse back to the Starry Sky Fruit Forest from the direction of the back mountain.
No one was home. I asked the auntie who was working outside and found out that Duoduo had taken Teacher Shen into Bai Miao's 800-acre melon field.
Having changed back into Miao clothing, Achen crossed the canyon suspension bridge and arrived at the melon field. From afar, he could hear the Miao people singing folk songs as they worked, and even Duoduo joined in.
Instead, Teacher Shen stood in the empty space, her face pale, and no one knew what had happened.
"Ah Chen, you've come!"
"Auntie, what happened to Teacher Shen?"
"She was startled by the long snake that suddenly appeared!"
snake?
It's the height of summer now, so it's perfectly normal to see snakes, especially in this deep mountain area.
Fortunately, the grass ghost girls were keeping an eye on things, otherwise, this area would probably be teeming with countless insects.
However, to ensure the safety of the Starry Sky Fruit Forest, Mu Achen still ordered someone to summon Wu Ani.
When Wu Ani appeared in front of Achen, Mu Achen looked at the girl dressed in the white Miao summer clothes and marveled at her beauty. At the same time, he cursed Tang Abao in his heart: He really got lucky.
yes!
Wu Ani's beauty is indeed extraordinary; her skin is fair and smooth, and her lips are rosy and full.
When they came, their demeanor was elegant and their steps were light.
Especially her white Miao costume, with its strong ethnic flavor, no wonder Mu Achen cursed Tang Abao in his heart.
But Mu Achen had no idea that this moment of distraction, even this frown, fell into Wu Ani's eyes. Wu Ani assumed that the future Miao King was angry because of the long snake appearing in the orchard, so after bowing, she hurriedly said:
"Ah Chen, it is my responsibility that snakes appeared in the orchard. You may punish me as you see fit, but could you please let me thoroughly investigate the surrounding area before I come to accept my punishment?"
ah?
If someone punishes you, what crime will you be charged with?
