"Eh? I haven't seen this place for a month. It's changed a lot." After Lu Qin recovered from his injury, he finally returned to his daily work.
But when she returned to the Sheshan Test Base, she found that it had changed a lot.
The original experimental area was simply renovated on the basis of the original military region. It was okay as a collective dormitory, but it was far from being a high-end experimental area.
But when he came back this time, Lu Qin discovered that a new building had been built on the mountain, which was quite magnificent.
"You haven't seen this, have you? This is our new laboratory building." Shen Yiting proudly introduced it to her: "We spent a lot of effort to hire someone to build it, but we haven't had time to move anything in yet."
"It's so cold, and it's not easy to dig on the frozen soil. Have the higher-ups approved the funding for you?" Lu Qin was a little surprised.
"No, the Logistics Department is so stingy, they keep complaining about not being able to feed 230,000 people. How could they have the money to approve this for us?"
"Then it can't be conjured out of thin air, right?"
Shen Yiting was a little mysterious and didn't answer why, but pulled her to climb to the top of the mountain.
"Thump, thump, thump~" When they reached the mountain, she lifted the plastic sheet covering a field and showed it off proudly.
I saw a field of more than half an acre, lush and green with vines.
Perhaps because of the cold weather, the color of the leaves is a little darker, but it does not affect the vibrant feeling of the entire field.
"This... is this the new potato vine we cultivated?" Lu Qin was very surprised.
Is this too much? The whole field is covered with leaves, and the color of the soil is almost invisible.
"Congratulations, you got it right~" Shen Yiting smiled and said, "A lot! The density of the leaves above ground of this variety is beyond our imagination. The lab only planted a few plots, and the number is already huge."
"You didn't sell these..." Lu Qin asked.
"Hehe, that's a good guess. We agreed beforehand that, apart from the staple food, all by-products belong to the laboratory."
Shen Yiting smiled proudly.
The potato vines' ability to thrive in sub-zero temperatures surprised everyone. This new variety was quickly named "Qingteng No. 1" and officially placed on the active cultivation list.
Lu Qin nodded. No wonder she saw outsiders coming to Sheshan. Normally, no one was allowed to approach. She thought that they were recruiting construction workers to build a new experimental building on the mountain.
Digging frozen soil to build the foundation was indeed hard work, but the Sheshan Experimental Field offered edible potato vines as compensation, which attracted a constant stream of people asking to work.
The first batch of potato vines had been donated to the cafeteria free of charge. Many people tasted the fresh green leafy vegetables and were very interested in them.
Some people even come directly to ask how to get it, wanting to buy more.
As soon as I heard that it was a newly developed variety, I immediately became interested.
If you can get a stable source of income in advance, wouldn’t you become rich?
However, many people have this idea, but few people realize it.
The 756th Unit’s protection of Sheshan has become almost tight, and no one except researchers can easily approach the greenhouse.
According to estimates, the future green leaf production of "Qingteng No. 1" will be sufficient to provide daily expenses for the large population of Antu County.
At present, the value of "Qingteng No. 1" in the market is very high, usually three kilograms of rice for half a kilogram, which is not affordable for ordinary families.
However, it is foreseeable that after the official promotion, the price will inevitably become cheaper.
"What about the new varieties? How is the research on the new varieties going?" Lu Qin asked, touching the thick leaves of the potatoes.
"Um... well, we're still figuring it out..." Shen Yiting was a little embarrassed, "Teacher Zhang and I are still trying to figure out how to improve those seeds."
"Well, if it weren't for this sudden mutation that caused such a large harvest of potato vines, our experimental field wouldn't have the nerve to report to the higher authorities to rebuild the laboratory."
"Why think so much? Isn't there a result already?" Lu Qin didn't think there was anything wrong. This was an arduous road in itself, and temporary failure didn't mean anything.
"That's right, let's go! Let's go see how to set up things in the new laboratory!" Shen Yiting was a carefree person, and after a while he stopped hesitating and pulled Lu Qin to visit the new laboratory building.
…
"Xiao Qinqin~" Before the two of them turned around and left, a familiar voice was heard.
Lu Qin held his forehead and thought, well, it seems that he came at the perfect time, just when Professor Zhang was around.
"Oh, long time no see. You haven't come to see me for so long. Do you miss me?"
Professor Zhang’s beautiful yet annoying face appeared before my eyes.
Lu Qin gave him a friendly roll of the eyes: "I don't miss you."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Yiting rushed forward and twisted Zhang Cong's ear.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts, let go, let go, my dear wife."
? ? !!
What did she hear?
Before Lu Qin could react, Shen Yiting grabbed Zhang Cong's ear and said, "You ignored my words? I told you not to mess with the little girl, but you didn't believe me. The key is that you still want to mess with Qinqin!!"
"I... I didn't do that. It's been a long time since I last saw Qinqin. I missed her and just wanted to say hello." Zhang Cong said aggrievedly, "Honey, I was wrong. I won't dare to do that again. Please let me go~"
Watching the two people arguing in front of him, Lu Qin felt as if a flock of crows were flying by.
"Um... could you guys please stop arguing and explain to me what the term 'wife' means?"
Lu Qin asked weakly.
"This...it's a long story." Shen Yiting lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lu Qin: "I didn't tell you, Qinqin, it's all Zhang Cong's fault. I told you not to call me that outside!"
"What! You didn't even tell anyone that you are my wife!" Zhang Cong immediately got furious.
"Hey, hey, why are you talking so loudly? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
“…”
Lu Qin looked helplessly at the two people in front of him who were arguing again.
"Stop! Stop, Xiao Shen, tell me the truth! Why did I leave for a month and you..."
