Chapter 179 Oh My Sister
The next day, the bus slowly drove to the gate of Jinong.
As soon as I got off the bus, I received a warm welcome.
The infrastructure of Ji Province is very good. The eldest son of the empire has developed rapidly in this era. The streets are wide and wide, and tall buildings are everywhere. Every place exudes vitality and joy.
In charge of the reception were two new teachers from Jilin Agricultural University, who were wearing ribbons and stood beside the car to express their warm welcome.
"Hello, Professor Zhou. I am Sun Cheng, and this is Xu Ying'an. We are both teachers from the Department of Agriculture at Jilin Agricultural University."
Mr. Zhou nodded calmly: "Where is your department head?"
Sun Cheng smiled and replied, "You can stay at the school with your students today. He will come to see you tomorrow and we can go to the greenhouse together!"
Mr. Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."
A total of 4 teachers and 10 students from Huinong University came this time.
Hang Jingshu, Yue Hongmei and Teacher Xiaoyu walked together. Jilin Agricultural University has a larger area than Anhui Agricultural University and the facilities on campus are also better.
After all, it is the industrial leader and has some economic strength.
The student dormitories are very clean and the bedding is ready, meeting the standards for move-in ready.
There are four girls in total, Hang Jingshu, Yue Hongmei, and two senior students from the Department of Plant Protection.
It's already June, but it's still cool here.
Compared to Huicheng, which has already become popular, it makes people feel relaxed and refreshed.
The shadows of the trees rustled, the breeze blew, and finally I didn't have to sweat every time I moved.
The food at the Agricultural University is generally pretty good, with home-grown new varieties, home-raised chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep. As long as you can hand in your homework successfully, you can basically eat as much as you want.
June is the month of watermelons, and the watermelons in the greenhouses of Jinong University are growing particularly well.
At that time, Qilin and 8424 were not yet widely planted. What is planted in the greenhouse now is the new generation Black Beauty watermelon.
Black Beauty watermelon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It is oval in shape, has thick skin and many seeds.
The fruit skin is dark green, with unclear patterns, but it has a characteristic that is very adaptable to the times.
Thick skin, durable in storage and easy to transport.
It won't rot halfway like other melons.
It is widely planted in the north. What we plan to cultivate here is the second generation, which is currently under research to reduce the problem of too many seeds and retain the thickness of the skin.
Here, Hang Jingshu also ate the pure 8424 watermelon.
8424 There are many varieties in later generations, and many have been improved. Some of them have very different basic tastes from the original ones.
In 1984, among dozens of experimental mixes of Wu Mingzhu's soil, the 24th group had the best variety, good taste, high maturity and early maturity.
So it was named 8424.
Many varieties are named in this way, usually with a name + number, which represents the number of the experiment at the time.
Watermelons are in their ripening period from June to September, and they are freshest and most delicious at this time.
The melons in the greenhouse are even better. You don’t need to cut them. Just pick them and tap them gently, and you’ll hear a “click” sound. The green skin and red soil, if you break the melon along the texture, you’ll smell the sweet scent of the melon.
Sun Cheng distributed melons to everyone, and Hang Jingshu followed the crowd, focusing on observing the current greenhouse.
The plastic film was relatively thick, but not as tough as later generations. This was probably due to insufficient technology.
The other instructors are similar, except that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the materials for making the greenhouse.
Building a greenhouse is not as simple as just putting something up. You also need to be able to control the temperature inside the greenhouse.
Nowadays, the supports for sheds are made of wood and bamboo poles. The advantage is that the materials are easy to obtain and the price is low. The disadvantage is that they are easy to rot, not wind-resistant, and need to be repaired once a year.
However, compared to the high cost and the need to introduce greenhouses, greenhouses cost much less.
Teacher Sun Cheng introduced enthusiastically: "Our current research direction is vegetable greenhouses, and we are already able to grow cucumbers and tomatoes."
There are also off-season vegetables in the Lu Province, all of which are greenhouse vegetables and soil-heated greenhouses. The temperature is maintained by burning coal, and three or four tons of coal are burned in a winter.
The cost is high and the profit is low, and the film has low light transmittance and cannot retain temperature, so we can only grow some leafy vegetables to sell.
Once the technical difficulties of plastic film are overcome, things will get better and better.
Hang Jing followed Zhou Lao and others, carefully observing the greenhouse technology of Jinan Agricultural University, and ignored Zhao Hongbing who was hesitant to speak.
She is not a trash can that accepts everyone.
After these two incidents, Yue Hongmei had a very good impression of Hang Jingshu.
Mainly because the little girl is strong enough.
If you say she has no temper, you are really mistaken.
Teacher Xiao Yu was also quite strange. Yue Hongmei used to look down on freshmen, but now she treats them like one.
Girls' friendship is magical.
The visit and study by Huinong University this time is highly valued.
The main reason was that everyone was a little curious about Hang Jingshu. They thought the freshman was joking, but they didn't expect it to be true.
The blueberry seedlings are growing really well.
Professor Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Hang: "Oh, Xiao Hang, hahahaha your blueberry seedlings are very useful, it's really amazing, Old Zhou has a keen eye..."
Compared to the aloofness of other professors, Professor Zheng from Jinan Agricultural University was particularly enthusiastic towards Hang Jingshu.
She was stunned and looked at Teacher Xiaoyu for help: What's going on?
Teacher Xiaoyu scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently: Hey, I don’t know.
After Professor Zheng praised the blueberry seedlings for several hundred words, he finally mentioned the topic: "Well...Xiaohang, do you plan to study for a master's degree at Jinan Agricultural University?
Our place is in line with your major!"
Mr. Zhou immediately became anxious: "Mr. Zheng! You are trying to steal students right under my nose, right?"
Professor Zheng pushed up his glasses, turned around and began to comfort Mr. Zhou: "The student's talent is here, you tell me, we can't delay it, right?"
You reap what you sow might be a joke somewhere else.
But in the eyes of Agricultural University students, there was only one person who could do it, and that was the dormitory manager.
Every time I go to my aunt's small vegetable garden, I always feel a little excited.
The failed grafted seedlings yielded a bountiful harvest in her hands.
She has a big jar of bacteria that cannot be cultivated.
The farm students all wanted to hug the aunt's thighs tightly, Auntie! Please accept me, Auntie!
Because we were students invited by the school, we were very welcome in the cafeteria.
As I walked, I would often receive gifts from students from Jinan University.
There were new varieties of sticky corn, self-cultivated fruits, and even little rabbits sent over for people to touch.
Xu Ying'an is a pretty female teacher. Even though she works in the fields frequently, her skin is not that dark.
In the past few days, I have been in contact with Hang Jingshu and other girls the most. She looks pretty, but I didn't expect her to be so open-minded: "Oh my god, sister! Come on, I'll treat you to chicken stewed with mushrooms."
