Chapter 187 Bet
The president hesitated for a moment, his face gradually becoming ugly, "Our numbers are based on the seeds cultivated by the previous generation, and they are not out of the normal range. Professor Wen, don't you think the numbers you gave are too exaggerated?"
Professor Wen shook his head calmly, "No."
He nodded at the table and said, "Since the president doesn't believe it, why don't we make a bet?"
The president sneered, "What bet?"
Professor Wen picked up a tomato and played with it in his hand, "If the yield of my tomatoes reaches 30,000 catties per mu, you will provide us with your latest research and development results for free."
Yuan Xiao was curious about what research and development results the president had.
Wang Datou straightened his back and said to his teacher, "Just let him do it. Let him make a fool of himself when the time comes."
The president nodded, "Okay, then we'll take four months! In January next year, I'll go to China in person to inspect the results!"
Professor Wen spread his hands, "Then I'll be waiting for the president to come."
After this episode, the exchange meeting continued until the afternoon.
When the last person came on stage, Yuan Xiao realized that the president was the last one.
And the latest achievement he had in his hands was actually the vegetable dryer that Yuan Xiao had been thinking about!
Yuan Xiao felt mixed emotions. There was no doubt that Professor Wen knew this and proposed this condition.
She was immediately moved.
After the exchange meeting, they left and returned to the hotel.
Yuan Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, "Professor, what if the yield per mu is not 30,000 catties?"
Professor Wen laughed, "Then I have no loss, at most they will ridicule me a few times."
Ridicule is nothing, it doesn't hurt.
If they win, they can introduce vegetable dryers for free.
Yuan Xiao suddenly hugged Professor Wen, "You are so kind to me!"
Professor Wen pushed her away with disdain, "I am not doing this for you, I am doing this for our country."
But Yuan Xiao gave all the vegetable seeds in her hand to He Changlin. The leader in dried vegetables must be Qushui County.
By the time other places start to do it, Qushui County has already made a name for itself and has fixed partners and customers. Anyway,
the vegetable processing plant will not be built until next year at the earliest, so it doesn't matter if she waits a little longer.
Tomorrow, Yuan Xiao pulled out of the hotel and went out to go shopping to buy things. I bought long skirts, as well as flared pants. With high heels , her
legs were long, and she chose the pocket watch for Gu Lanting . "Xixi, come here, I think this bracelet is very suitable for you." Yuan Laixi took a look at the price and didn't even dare to try it. A bracelet costs more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, wow! It's too expensive! Yuan Xiao didn't care and put it on her hand. Yuan Laixi's wrist is slender and well-proportioned, and the slender bracelet is really suitable for her. Yuan Xiao also selected a few popular styles recommended by the salesperson for grandma and Wang Yazhi, and even Chu Jiangping, and then simply paid the bill. Yuan Laixi blushed and wanted to take off the bracelet in a hurry. Yuan Xiao stopped her, "I'm giving it to you. If you don't accept it, I'll be angry." "No merit, no reward, this gift is too expensive." Yuan Laixi said embarrassedly. Yuan Xiao pinched her face, "You helped me last time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to prove my innocence. No amount of money can buy it back. Let's go over there and take a look." There are many special foods in Gangcheng, which are quite in line with Yuan Xiao's taste. In addition, it is close to the sea, so there are also many dried seafood. This purchase is huge, and the two of them went back with large and small bags. Professor Wen shook his head after seeing this, extravagant. He and Wang Yazhi have been together, and his personality is also simple and low-key. How could Yuan Xiao spend money like water? He laughed happily, and Gu Lanting would have to suffer in the future. After a trip to Gangcheng, Yuan Xiao returned with a lot of gains. Gu Lanting knew when she would come back, and drove early to wait for her at the train station. After sending Professor Wen and Yuan Laixi to school, he took Yuan Xiao home. She told Gu Lanting about the vegetable dryer and asked him whether he should spend money to buy it now or wait for the result from Professor Wen. Gu Lanting knew which one Yuan Xiao preferred and just wanted to get his support. He smiled and said, "Then let's wait for Professor Wen to introduce it. Anyway, we are not in a hurry." Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "I think so too." Yuan Xiao was busy planting tomatoes during the rest of the holiday. Winter is coming soon. If tomatoes are planted hastily like this, they may freeze to death. Warmth measures must be taken. As for what kind of warming measures, Yuan Xiao suggested building a greenhouse. Professor Wen thought this was a good idea, so he let go and handed it all to Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao herself didn't understand much either. She was always good at talking. So she asked someone to find a professional to come and plant the tomatoes. As long as she paid, she could find anything. But many things still needed Yuanxiao's decision, so she did it herself. By the time the greenhouse was planted with tomatoes, it was already mid-September. On Friday, Yuanxiao went home after class.
She declined her classmates' invitations and went straight home.
Because Saturday was Gu Lanting's birthday.
She didn't know about it last year and missed it. This year, she couldn't pretend not to know.
She secretly asked Lan Muyun, and he said that Gu Lanting had not celebrated his birthday since his grandfather passed away.
So today, she was also going to give him a surprise.
Early on Saturday morning, Yuan Xiao went out to buy groceries and brought back a bunch of ingredients for making cakes.
Seeing Yuan Xiao working so hard to prepare a birthday cake for Gu Lanting, Chu Jiangping felt a little jealous and disliked Gu Lanting even more.
"Hmph! You don't even prepare for my birthday."
Yuan Xiao was somewhat helpless, "Then tell me, when is your birthday?"
Chu Jiangping snorted, "You don't even know when my birthday is, it shows that you are not sincere enough."
Yuan Xiao raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes, "If you don't tell me, I won't celebrate it for you."
Wang Yazhi came out with a washbasin, also laughing and crying, "Your uncle Chu's birthday is in April, you have to wait until next year."
After saying that, she thought for a while, "Xiaoxiao's birthday is next month, and mother didn't celebrate it for you before."
Last year's birthday was Yuanxiao's adulthood, and he didn't celebrate it.
Yuan Xiao waved his hands, and flour stained his nose, "I don't care about this, I am very happy every day with mother."
Wang Yazhi smiled and wiped the flour off her face, "Have you told Xiao Gu to let him come over tonight?"
"I did!"
Gu Lanting moved back to the army, and Chu Jiangping was the happiest.
But Yuan Xiao now feels lucky, otherwise he would not be able to give him a surprise.
