Professor Li was a little bit unbelievable. How could it grow naturally like this? If the secret could be discovered, it would be a blessing for the majority of farmers.
He thought for a while and said, "So amazing? I suddenly have a bold idea. I wonder if you can accept it."
Old man Shen became interested, "Tell me about it?"
"Look, I want to study the watermelons and sugarcanes you grow here. I'll bring some students over to take a look. Can you help us find a place to rest? Just tell me how much funding you need. These are all work matters, so don't be polite."
Doing research?
Oh my goodness, are his things so good that they require such an authoritative old professor to do the research?
Old man Shen felt an indescribable sense of honor and happily agreed.
This is a good thing for both him and the village. Developing agriculture is one of the major tasks of the country now. The old village chief often talked to him about it and mobilized the villagers to find ways to increase the grain production in the village.
If they can figure it out, their village will be the number one hero and it will definitely be of great benefit.
For example, their sugarcane and watermelon are different from ordinary ones, so the prices must be different. This is like the difference between a Haishi watch and an ordinary watch. Good things must be sold at a higher price.
This is a truth that everyone understands. Old Man Shen has lived for so many years, so he must understand it even better.
Therefore, he agreed very enthusiastically, and even patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Professor Li, when you and your students come next time, I will make sure to arrange everything for them and ensure that they have good food and drink. Even if they want to build a new house to live in, we can make it happen!"
"We don't have much here, but we have a large area, many mountains, woods and stones. It only takes a few minutes to build a house, and you don't even have to spend money. You can just do your research in the village. We will cooperate with you in anything you need."
Professor Li didn't expect that Old Man Shen would agree so readily. He thought he was such an open-minded person and felt very relieved.
He is researching this area, which is not something that an ordinary farmer would do. Agricultural research is a high-tech job. If he can come up with some results, it will benefit the country and the people on a large scale, and it will also benefit the village on a small scale.
Wasn’t the villager just now envious of the Shen family between the lines?
Professor Li could see that Old Man Shen was different from most people. He was not afraid of research, nor was he worried about damaging his own interests.
He had visited some villages before and wanted to do research, but some villagers guarded their own things like wolves guard their food and would not allow anyone to touch them. He even drove them out of the village. It was ridiculous...
Those people don't know the importance of agricultural research, and they are just groping according to the methods left by their predecessors. That is like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Can the grain production be increased significantly?
Now that he had met such a reasonable person like Old Man Shen, Professor Li suddenly felt lucky. He would be able to bring students here to do research later.
Professor Li is a highly respected person, and inevitably has some pride as a cultured person, and he looks down on ordinary people.
However, the more I looked at Old Man Shen, the more I liked him, and the more I spoke to him, the better his tone became. "Old man, you are so polite."
