"No wonder the next batch only had a few successful breedings. They even selected bad ones! How did you teach them? They only selected bad ones!"
"Haha, thank you so much, Professor Yu!" Madam Xu said with a smile.
Just as Xu was pondering whether there was a suitable candidate outside the company, or whether he should step down himself, Li Sixin spoke up again.
So, for the first time before graduation, Li Sixin experienced the life of worrying about work and being a lazy bum in Chengdu.
"Hmm...hmm...hmm? Hmm!" As Peng Tao spoke, the expression on Peng Taobin's face became increasingly strange.
"Do you remember the Shanghai Machinery and Equipment Expo?" He Zibao noticed Peng Tao's confusion and quickly reminded him, "The food at this expo wasn't served outside your shop!"
Those words made Cheng Ming very clear, and everyone present remained silent after hearing them, promising to come and help before the cement dried completely.
"No, it's just calculating his salary, and it's calculated at eight times the normal rate!" Xu chuckled upon hearing this and immediately said with great pride.
"......"
Hearing Peng Taobin's two sentences, Peng Tao's heart suddenly pounded. He was afraid that Nanye Food Co., Ltd. would seize on the fact that Peng Taobin had worked for another company during his employment and make trouble for him, since the two of them did not have a labor contract.
Ring ring—ring ring—
Before Peng Tao could finish speaking, Peng Taobin finally spoke up to confirm.
“Professor Wei, excuse me for disturbing you, isn’t that Mr. Xu, the owner of Xu’an Catering who acquired Shuan Shuan La…” Manager Zhu began to introduce him to Professor Wei, but was interrupted by Professor Wei before he could finish speaking.
One chili pepper plant can yield a total of one pound of dried chili peppers, so seven hundred plants would yield seven hundred pounds. They ripen every eight months, and in a greenhouse, eight harvests can be made in a year. One greenhouse can produce 1,700 pounds a year. With seventy-four greenhouses, the total yield would be nearly ten thousand pounds, which is more than enough!
During Peng Taobin's introduction, Hezibao and the Xu family exchanged business cards.
Hezibao had been in charge of the construction of small sheds in Honghe City for many years and had seen many similar scenes. He calmly and anxiously tried to reassure everyone.
"It's so interesting, really so interesting! Watching TV series is boring, reading books is boring, playing on my phone is boring, even shopping is boring..."
Before hanging up the phone, Li Sixin, who had been so listless just moments before, sat down at his computer desk, humming a tune, and finished collecting relevant information and getting back to work.
Before the two geologists could even get to work, they pulled out their phones and made a call. A moment later, several engineering vehicles arrived, their enormous excavators slicing into the thick soil with the ease of cutting through tofu. A few commands later, they were uprooted, carrying a full bucket of soil, leaving a small, deep crater...
"Oh dear, thanks boss! I'll definitely send you the analysis report after 5 PM tonight!"
The bad news is that the survival rate of *Shuanshuanla* (a type of spicy chili pepper) per acre is less than 70%; the good news is that at least 1,000 plants can be planted per acre.
Before exchanging a few words with Xu, Hezibao finally got into work mode and explained work matters to everyone present.
"Oh, Secretary Li should have told you about that matter. You could have just delivered it directly. Why did you need to buy it from a store?"
"Oh!" Madam Xu realized what she meant and grasped Hezibao's hand in return, smiling, "Hezibao, you also participated in that exposition!"
"Mr. Xu, is he from Xujia Village?" Professor Wei asked directly.
"Secretary Li, Professor Wei hasn't started selecting seeds yet, can't you go and take a look?" Xu asked immediately, mistaking the word "selecting seeds" in everyone's mouth.
"Yes, Hezibao, it will be slower if there are fewer people. We don't have the strength, so you can't help. Free help is paid!"
It's not that Li Sixin is actually still an employee of Pengtao Catering. Assigning work tasks to an employee who has just joined the company is really not excessive!
"Once the cement dries completely, we'll be done with the previous step. If the young man isn't free at this time, he can come and help out. He said he'll definitely finish the process a few days earlier so we can put it into use sooner! Not yet, we'll slow down the seedling cultivation first. We'll finish it after we build the frame. Otherwise, if the seedlings are damaged and the shed is already built, that would be a real disaster!"
"Haha, that's what Professor Wei told you earlier, and after that, you also know..."
"Yes, Professor Wei, do you know me?" Xu was bewildered. How come everyone here knows her today, but she has no recollection of us?
"Survival rate, that's a bad thing..." Professor Wei pondered for a moment before saying, "After those days of seedling cultivation and planting, we learned that the planting method for the 'Shuanshuan' chili is the same as other chili peppers. Normally, you can't plant 8,000 to 7,000 chili peppers per acre. If the goal is to harvest dried chili peppers, it's not too much to plant 7,000 to 10,000 chili peppers per acre."
"Professor Wei, do you know how low the survival rate of those spicy fish is right now? Is it less than 10%?" Seeing that the conversation had already gone off-topic, Madam Xu quickly asked the question that she was most concerned about.
However, some people are born to be busy, like Peng Taobin, who at this moment is lying sprawled on the sofa, his head tilted back, staring at the ceiling with an expression that says he has nothing to be ashamed of.
"The reason it took so long is mainly to wait for the cement to dry completely. If the cement isn't completely dry before moving on, the small shed that was built at a low price will fall apart after a few years. So, if it's possible to..."
