"oh?"
Lu Qingquan laughed again: "It seems that you are quite confident about this walnut!"
"Hey, the quality of the things I buy on the mountain has been very high recently, and I'm a little inflated."
"Hahaha……"
Lu Qingquan laughed out loud: "How about this, I have a friend who has been helping me cultivate your white tea trees recently. He encountered some problems there, and he also wants to send a student to check out the situation."
"He's a professor at the provincial agricultural university. I'll ask him for help. He'll probably be back next week. What do you think?"
"Okay! As long as it can be measured."
Zhao Xiaoyang agreed immediately.
One week is just the right amount of time.
In fact, he just needed to confirm what specific active ingredients the [two-star] walnuts he grew contained.
In this way, his next plan can be launched.
…
A few days later, Zhao Xiaoyang was feeding the pigs when he received a phone call.
Today is the day I have an appointment with Lu Qingquan, and his friend is coming over.
However, when he saw the number, Zhao Xiaoyang smiled.
It turned out to be a teacher he knew at university.
He was not his teacher, but someone who had worked part-time at school and helped out in a laboratory.
I just happened to meet Xu Zhen.
Because Zhao Xiaoyang has better hands-on skills than ordinary college students, even better than many graduate students under Xu Zhen, Zhao Xiaoyang helped Xu Zhen in the greenhouse test field for one or two years.
In addition to receiving a subsidy of several hundred yuan every month, he also has a good relationship with Xu Zhen.
When they finally graduated, Xu Zhen even asked Zhao Xiaoyang if he wanted to continue his studies in graduate school!
He quickly answered: "Hello, Teacher Xu, why are you calling so suddenly today?"
"Haha...it's really you, Xiaoyang!"
Xu Zhen's voice was filled with surprise. "That's the number Lu Qingquan gave me. I knew it was yours. How's it going? I heard you've been doing pretty well lately!"
…
The two of them talked for a while.
Zhao Xiaoyang then realized that Xu Zhen had known about the white tea he had grown for a long time, and that recently Xu Zhen had been in Beijing with Professor Chen Ping, jointly researching his white tea seedlings!
It’s a pity that no matter how professional they are, they won’t be able to produce any results.
Today Xu Zhen wanted to come here for an on-site inspection.
Zhao Xiaoyang naturally welcomed it.
Then Xu Zhen arrived. While Zhao Xiaoyang was making tea, Xu Zhen quickly took a tour of Zhao Xiaoyang's front yard.
"Xiaoyang, your place is not big enough yet!"
Xu Zhen said seriously, "If you want to develop your career, you can't do it piecemeal."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyang smiled faintly.
It's not that he wants to do it piecemeal, but that's the way the system is, and there's nothing he can do about it.
But then again, even with these little hits, he has gained a lot.
Of course, Zhao Xiaoyang didn't need to say these words. Instead, he expressed his agreement: "Yes, Teacher Xu, so I recently had an idea."
Zhao Xiaoyang said, "I've been promoting the tea from our Nanshan Village, and business is doing well. So I was thinking about the pecans we have in the village, could we make them into products as well?"
At this time, the walnuts in the peach trees on the back mountain have grown.
At this moment, the fruits have been picked by Zhao Xiaoyang, peeled and are drying in the backyard.
After the initial drying, it is dried in the oven and becomes the common dried walnuts.
"oh?"
Xu Zhen walked over and took a look, nodding his head. "Are these the walnuts from your Nanshan Village? They're quite good, and a bit larger than usual."
"Okay, I understand. I'll help you test these walnuts when we get back. I also have a related project on hand. If you have any ideas, I can give you some advice."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xu."
Zhao Xiaoyang agreed with a smile.
After graduation, I contacted Xu Zhen less and less, but we never lost contact.
Afterwards, Xu Zhen observed Zhao Xiaoyang's tea tree for a while, took some samples, and extracted some soil near the roots.
Then, despite Zhao Xiaoyang's repeated attempts to keep him, he still had to leave.
"How about this, Mr. Xu, when the test results come out in a couple of days, I'll treat you to dinner at my restaurant."
"Oh? You opened a restaurant?"
"Hey, I invested with my friends in the Yunhai Resort in Hailing City. It's called Baoheju!"
"Baoheju?"
Xu Zhen nodded, as if the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He didn't know much about food, so he just smiled and said, "I think it's a chain restaurant. I forgot when I heard about it. Someone arranged to go out for dinner, but I had something to do so I didn't go."
"Haha, yes, it's a chain!"
Zhao Xiaoyang smiled secretly, knowing that he, the former half-teacher, did not like socializing. It seemed that he really did not understand Baoheju.
"They taste really good. They're all local specialties from our mountain. Let's try them together when the time comes!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Xu Zhen could see that Zhao Xiaoyang looked much more energetic than when he was in school, and was full of youthful vigor and confidence.
For a moment, he felt that it was probably right for Zhao Xiaoyang not to listen to him and enroll in his graduate school.
