After Jiang Tiantian left Tan Zhilin's house, she went to the seed store again, intending to buy some new seeds that she didn't have.
When the seed store owner saw her, he smiled and said, "Girl, you are here again."
"Uncle, let me take a look and buy some more seeds,"
The boss was delighted, but then frowned, "We bought so much last time, and it was still not enough."
"Girl, let me tell you, it's not that I don't want to sell you these seeds, but if you buy so many and keep them, the seeds may not work well next year if you don't store them properly."
"It's better to buy it when it's time to plant seeds."
I didn't expect that this boss is such a sincere person.
After just two contacts, Jiang Tiantian had a good impression of the boss, and thought he was someone she could continue to deal with.
Jiang Tiantian's eyes rolled and an idea came into her mind.
"Uncle, don't worry, I didn't buy much today, so nothing will be wasted." She replied with a smile.
The boss heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good, I was just worried that you didn't understand, so it's not necessary to buy more and keep them."
After that, he asked again in confusion, "Girl, which village are you from? There is a lot of land in your village."
The ones I bought last time were almost enough for many remote small villages, enough seeds for the entire village for a quarter.
Jiang Tiantian didn't want to be exposed so soon. If the villagers knew that they bought the seeds from here, it would be disastrous.
So, a few words changed the topic and diverted the boss's attention.
After a while.
Jiang Tiantian picked out some seeds she wanted from the shelf, handed them to the boss for payment, and pretended to ask the boss unconsciously:
"Uncle, I came here twice and I only saw you here alone. Where are your family members?"
When the boss heard this, his face darkened and he said nonchalantly, "Hey, I'm an old man with a bad fate. Now I only have a granddaughter who is still in elementary school. The others are gone."
"However," the boss showed a look of satisfaction when he said this, "my granddaughter is very sensible and has good academic performance. She will definitely be able to enter university in the future. I have confidence in her."
After saying this, he nodded as if to comfort himself.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."
Jiang Tiantian accidentally mentioned someone else's sad story and quickly apologized.
The boss waved his hand generously, "Hey, it's okay, it happened several years ago. Now thinking about it, it's just like a dream, it passed in the blink of an eye."
"This seed shop was originally opened by my son and daughter-in-law. I didn't expect that they were unlucky. When they went out to buy goods, they met with a car accident and died."
"My wife had been in poor health in recent years. When she heard about this, she was so exhausted that she passed away."
At this point, the boss paused before continuing:
"My granddaughter was studying in town at the time, so I had no choice but to rent out my land to someone else to grow crops, and come to town to take care of my granddaughter and run this store at the same time."
The boss's calm tone sounded as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Everything will be fine after the worst." Jiang Tiantian listened quietly, not knowing what else she could say. She could only comfort her boss.
"I know, as long as my grandson and I are still here, there is hope. Girl, thank you for taking care of my business." The boss said calmly.
After paying the money, Jiang Tiantian hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Uncle, if I have a batch of seeds of better quality, can you help me sell them?"
She thought about it.
China is such a big country with a large population and limited land, and resources are limited. People in many places probably still can’t get enough to eat.
Compared with the entire Chinese nation, Chajia Village is a very small place, and the types of crops that can be grown and the area covered are very limited.
Since she has an advanced laboratory, she doesn't want to waste it. She wants to do something for the country within her ability, which she can consider as a reward for God's gift of a chance to be reborn.
In the laboratory, she tried to improve many grain varieties, such as rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., which can be cultivated on a large scale.
She did not make too many improvements to the taste like she did with the batch of seeds she provided to Chajia Village. These days, the right thing to do is to have enough food to eat first.
Chajia Village is consciously aiming to be built into a high-end vegetable and grain production base. Not only the output needs to be guaranteed, but the taste also needs to be very different from that outside.
For those grain seeds that only increase the yield but do not improve the taste much, she needs to find an agent to help her find channels and distribute the goods.
She thought the seed shop owner in front of her was useful.
The boss was stunned when he heard this, "You have seeds to sell?"
Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes and started to fool people.
"Yes, I have a friend who is particularly interested in studying the improvement and cultivation of various crops. He currently has two varieties and has conducted several rounds of planting experiments. The yield has increased by 2-3 times."
"He has accumulated a batch of these seeds and wants to ask someone to sell them to him so that he can get some research funding back."
"Uncle, do you have such a channel?"
The boss frowned and thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What kind of seeds does he have? Is there a lot of them?"
"this……"
Before Jiang Tiantian could think of what to say, she heard the boss say, "If it's not much, he can sell it to me."
It's not easy for everyone, so every bit of help counts. Besides, the money is used to continue their research, so people like this should be helped. Anyway, they can just put it in the store and sell it there.
Maybe if it is sold to the right person, if it is true as the girl said, the output can be increased by 2-3 times, and maybe it can even feed a lot of families.
Jiang Tiantian felt warm in her heart and replied with a smile: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, he has quite a few seeds, and the quality is definitely better than the seeds on the market now. In terms of yield, it is definitely the best."
"My suggestion is that if you know a good seed dealer, you can be a middleman and help him sell this batch of seeds. Then, I will ask him to give you a commission."
After Jiang Tiantian finished speaking, she took out two large bags of seeds from her bag and handed them to the boss.
"Uncle, please take a look at the quality of these seeds first."
The boss took the seeds, opened them and saw that they were rice and corn.
He grabbed a handful of each and placed them in his palm, examining them carefully.
Jiang Tiantian watched the boss picking up a handful of seeds in his palm with an amazed look on his face, and then spoke:
"Uncle, you are a farmer and now you run a seed store. You should have an idea of the quality of this seed."
"If you don't believe me, you can find someone who is suitable to try planting it first. When the yield comes out this season, you will know that what I said is true. The yield is definitely 2-3 times that of ordinary seeds now."
The boss looked at the corn in his hand. The grains were large and full, evenly sized, bright in color, and smooth in surface, without any worm holes or dryness.
It is indeed a top-quality seed!
He looked up at Jiang Tiantian, "Girl, are all the seeds in his hand like this?"
Ginger sweet dessert, "Exactly the same, no adulteration."
"Uncle, you know that there is still a shortage of food in many places. I can't say how much this batch of seeds will have if it is circulated, but at least it will allow some people to eat more."
"Moreover, my friend said that this batch of seeds has another feature, which is that they are highly adaptable and more resistant to diseases and pests than ordinary seeds."
Jiang Tiantian did not force the boss to make a decision immediately. She smiled and said;
"Uncle, you can consider whether this deal can be done. You can also ask the dealers you can contact. I will come back in two days."
After saying that, Jiang Tiantian smiled at the boss, then left with her bag.
"Hey, girl..."
The boss held the seeds in his hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
After Jiang Tiantian walked away, the boss fell into deep thought.
