I don’t want this cheap master anymore. What can be squeezed with a hammer?
All right, I squeezed in again and said, "Little Master, what do you think of the watermelons I planted?"
Zhao Jin gave a thumbs-up. "It's better than anything in the research institute."
"Do you know how the villagers reacted when I first asked them to manually pollinate and remove the melons by pinching the vines? If it were any other person, they would definitely have gotten a beating from the bad-tempered ones. I just feel that if you rely solely on bees, butterflies, and the breeze for pollination, there will always be some that slip through the net. If there are too many melons growing on one vine, won't they get enough nutrition? So we discard some and focus the nutrients on the remaining melons."
Wenwen looked at Zhao Jin, who seemed lost in thought. "Facts have proven that my method is effective. Then, Master, you can give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can always try something else."
Zhao Jin pondered, "Artificial pollination? To get rid of the bad ones? Artificial pollination is understandable, but what's wrong with this rice?"
Wenwen shrugged: "How should I know? I don't understand it. Maybe it will grow back better after I cut it off."
Zhao Jin's mind flashed with inspiration as he heard this, so fast he couldn't catch it. "Wait, what did you just say?"
Wenwen was inspired by his expression and said, "I said I don't understand."
Zhao Jin was anxious: "No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Young Master, will the hair grow back if it is cut?" She said nonsense seriously.
Zhao Jin rolled his eyes at her. What an idiotic question.
"Cut the mother ears and see if they will grow again?" Wenwen thought to herself, "I don't want to explain it too clearly. After all, these are all your own ideas."
Zhao Jin finally understood: "Rice ears will grow back after being cut, but the new ones will be worse than the first ones."
"That's because the first time I pruned it, it was already mature. What grew back would definitely be inferior. The best nutrients would have gone to the ends. But now I pruned it right after it grew out. It's different."
Wenwen saw Zhao Jin looking at her: "Isn't that right? And if the female plant is cut off, the male plant's pollen will have no place to pollinate. Why not pour the pollen on the cut ear head? Maybe it will work?" This is something you will think of later, but now it's ahead of time.
Zhao Jin continued to look at her without saying anything.
Wenwen: "Little Master?"
"Little Master? Are you stupid because of what I said? I already said I don't understand these things, especially rice. It was you who asked me to tell you. If I told you..."
Zhao Jin tugged at her sleeve and said, "Let's go home."
"No, let's go home. Let go of my sleeve first and don't tear it." The man was startled.
"I mean, I want to go back. I want to leave here and go back to give it a try. Maybe the method you mentioned will be useful." Zhao Jin shouted anxiously.
"I don't understand anything. This is just nonsense. You can't tell anyone, otherwise people will laugh at me." This must be useful.
Zhao Jin returned to the Wen family compound, picked up two pieces of his clothes and went to the station.
Chen Yuelian shook her head when she saw Zhao Jin leaving in a hurry. This guy was really impatient.
He Hongchi looked at his evil disciple and asked, "Did you say anything to that idiot? Otherwise, why would he be so impatient to leave?"
Wenwen looked at him with a bewildered look: "Did I say anything? No? I don't understand those things."
He Hongchi saw that she was still playing dumb: "I think Lijiawan will be very lively in the future!"
Wenwen shrugged: "It's quite lively now, okay."
He Hongchi looked at her like this, shook his head and ignored her. He carried the basket on his back and went up the mountain.
. . . . . .
The early summer sun is getting increasingly scorching, and people are busy rushing about. Time flies like sand through fingers, and the busy days always pass quickly.
Wenwen stopped her hurried steps and sat in the shade, holding a piece of sweet and juicy watermelon in her hands. She took a bite, and the sweet juice instantly cooled her parched heart.
The watermelons from several acres of land were all distributed to the villagers and workers on the construction site. For the people of Lijiawan who could eat watermelons in early summer, it was nothing, because there was the young vice president. She was the best at making things happen, but she could always make good things out of them. Isn’t that infuriating?
But everyone on the construction site was from another place, and they were all very surprised.
"There are watermelons now? Doesn't it take more than a month for the first crop of watermelons to come out? They are very expensive. Every year when the first crop of watermelons comes out, I will buy one for my family to taste."
"This watermelon is delicious, crispy and sweet, better than any other watermelon I've ever had."
"The people of Lijiawan are so generous. I've gained weight working here this year, and I can eat a full meal every day. Now I even have this precious watermelon to eat."
"Who says it isn't? What a shame! The project is almost finished, and I won't be able to find such a good owner again."
The workers at the construction site were discussing...
Beijing City
On the Secretary-General's desk lay a handful of plump, golden rice grains.
The secretary-general rubbed his hand and said, "Is this what you planted after returning from Lijiawan?"
Zhao Jin nodded excitedly, "Yes, although it's not ideal, I believe it can be promoted after a few more improvements."
"Good, that's great. Lijiawan is indeed a blessed land. As long as the food problem is solved, the people will be able to eat their fill." said the Secretary-General.
Seeing his good mood, Zhao Jin said, "Lijiawan is truly a treasure trove, so I wanted to establish the experimental field there. This time, I saw and heard more than I've ever seen in Lijiawan before."
Zhao Jin excitedly spoke of the crops he had seen in the fields of Lijiawan a few months ago. They had grown earlier and better than anywhere else...
The secretary general listened quietly. In fact, the old man had already known this. He also knew that Zhao Jin left in a hurry after staying for one night, and after returning to the experimental field, he immersed himself in rice research.
He looked at the rice on the table and thought, hasn't this been figured out?
He also knew that the people in Lijiawan were now eating the first crop of watermelons this year. It was said that the watermelons were large and juicy, and even the tribute was probably not as good as this one.
Secretary-General, please knock on the table: "Is the climate in Lijiawan suitable for growing rice?"
Zhao Jin suppressed his outward emotions: "Common sense says it's not suitable, but I think this matter cannot be considered with ordinary thinking." He thought Lijiawan was amazing, and his apprentice was even more amazing.
The secretary-general thought that the old man was thinking ahead and had known that you would do this. "The higher-ups thought your last comment about Xiang City was very good. This is a big deal, and we can't let our emotions get in the way."
Zhao Jin was about to say something when he raised his hand and said, "If you miss your apprentice in the future, you can stay at Lijiawan for a few days."
Zhao Jin shut up. What else could he say? He had no choice but to obey. Xiang City was so far from Lijiawan that it was rare to visit there throughout the year.
After Zhao Jin left, the secretary general brought the old man a handful of golden rice.
The old man now values Comrade Xiaowen very much. He thinks she is a lucky star and anyone recognized by her will have some luck.
So, she had to arrange for people to go down and protect them well, fearing that some ignorant people would hurt them. She also wanted the retired personnel to turn a blind eye and let her do whatever she wanted.
