In the evening, Li Weidong stayed at the Sixth Farm, and Zhao Haifeng took out the fine wine he collected and entertained Li Weidong well.

But there was an extra pot of boiled sweet potatoes on the table.

These are the ones just dug out today.

Compared to Zhao Haifeng who kept saying it was delicious, Li Weidong tasted it and found it was a bit dry, a bit choking, and almost no sweetness at all.

There is no way to compare with the small tobacco potatoes or sweet potatoes of later generations.

But for people nowadays, especially those in rural areas, they mainly eat stick noodles. In winter, the whole family gathers together to cook a pot of sweet potatoes, or cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and cook them in stick noodles. Rarely delicious.

It's hot and filling, so you won't feel hungry in the middle of the night and have to pour cold water into your stomach.

In an era when there were no chemical fertilizers, or in other words, when chemical fertilizers had not yet been widely promoted, all that was used was farmyard manure, and the yield of food in the fields was far from a leap forward.

Therefore, Li Weidong knows very well what the yield of sweet potatoes has increased by at least [-]% with the same land and the same planting, for those places that are short of food.

Moreover, sweet potatoes are far more adaptable than other foods.

It is precisely because of this that Li Weidong chose neither wheat nor corn, but sweet potatoes, which cannot be used as a staple food.

Because if it were wheat, even if the yield was increased, how could the people be willing to eat it?

In the end, I will switch to cheaper stick noodles or sweet potatoes.

Because the output of this thing is higher.

No one grabbed it.

But for now, cultivating it in the experimental field is just the first step. The next step is to promote it from Zhang Xingwu.

In fact, with Li Weidong's relationship, he can also find people, even at higher levels.

It's not that he is reluctant to find connections, but that at the moment, just a small-scale experimental field success is not worthy of massive publicity, otherwise it might be easy to make a joke.

So it's just right to take it step by step.

When we really need to carry out large-scale promotion, we will definitely use our connections and we will not be stingy. But at that time, it is not about publicity. No one is a fool. Weidong No. [-], which has increased production by more than [-]%, will not be planted. , but also want to plant those with low yields?

So at that time, what the people around him really wanted to do was protect him and prevent anyone from picking peaches.

Anyway, Li Weidong created Weidong No. [-] with both public and selfish motives.

And he never denied it.

After eating, Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai left, but they did not go back to the dormitory immediately. Instead, they took a walk on the farm and looked at the changes that had taken place in the farm over the past few days.

Although it was night, the moonlight was pretty good today, and the sky above them was not polluted at this time, and the bright Milky Way lay across their heads.

"let's get married."

Suddenly, Li Weidong took Zhou Xiaobai's hand.

After hearing his words, Zhou Xiaobai felt his head buzzing.

Although she had known that such a day would come, after all, the two of them did not have a private life-long decision, but the parents of both parties had met and agreed.

But didn’t you say that you should get engaged first and then wait for Li Weidong to graduate before getting married?

Why are you saying this so suddenly today?
And, getting married?

Want to marry Li Weidong?

To say that Zhou Xiaobai is unwilling is definitely a lie. Her heart has long been placed on Li Weidong, both inside and outside.

But when she suddenly heard this, she seemed at a loss and was even too excited to speak.

"me……"

Seeing her like this, Li Weidong couldn't help but reached out and pinched her nose, and then continued: "There is a saying that plans can change quickly. Originally, I thought about getting engaged first, and then getting married, but this time, I suddenly I think we can go faster and just get married.

what do you think? "

Although Li Weidong was asking, his tone was undeniably domineering.

Zhou Xiaobai, who was speechless, could only nod in the end.

Why didn't she agree to marry Li Weidong?

After all, this is what she has been looking forward to for a long time.

"Then it's decided. After I finish my work here, I will go to your house to propose marriage. Then we will discuss a good date and the wedding will be arranged years ago."

Li Weidong said simply.

Originally, he was not so anxious, but during this period, the peaceful life in school made him want to settle down.

After seeing Zhou Xiaobai again today, he couldn't resist the urge.

So I just brought it up.

"it is good."

After this moment of adaptation, although Zhou Xiaobai's heart was still beating very fast, almost jumping out of his throat, and his face was on fire, he could at least speak.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the dormitory, and you should have a rest early." Then, Li Weidong sent Zhou Xiaobai back to the dormitory, and then the two of them were affectionate for a while. With strong self-control, Li Weidong left Zhou Xiaobai's dormitory.

Although he knew that Zhou Xiaobai would definitely not refuse him if he wanted to.

But he also knew that Zhou Xiaobai was actually a very traditional girl at heart.

So that day, he didn't want to pick it early, but wanted to wait until the wedding night.

The next morning, Zhang Xingwu came here with several reporters from daily newspapers and several model workers.

It seems that he was not idle last night, otherwise this group of people would not have come so early.

This group of people obviously already knew something about this place. Despite Zhang Xingwu's assurance, they were still dubious.

Especially after seeing Li Weidong.

After all, Li Weidong is too young. Can he cultivate and improve sweet potatoes that increase yield by 40.00%?
Although there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, there is also a separate industry.

Breeding improved sweet potato varieties is not that simple.

But none of them raised any questions. The truth would be revealed soon. They came here just to verify the weight of the yield and then report the matter.

As for whether it was cultivated by Li Weidong, naturally someone will investigate clearly.

Sometimes it's even better to be controversial.

Naturally, they will also receive attention and have more news to dig out.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

The model workers recruited by Zhang Xingwu were also not interested in Li Weidong. What really interested them was the sweet potatoes in the experimental field.

Moreover, they were not stupid. They knew to measure the number of acres of land first. After confirming that it was one acre, they walked around again and found no signs of deliberate transplant fraud. Moreover, the distance between each sweet potato plant was just the same. good.

Unlike in the past, in order to deceive, the wheat in other fields was even cut off and inserted into another field to pretend to be a bumper harvest.

But in fact, you can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.

Eventually that bubble was burst.

Since then, everyone has taken the issue of grain production seriously and resolutely put an end to fraud.

What's more, they came here today not only to verify, but also to serve as witnesses, which is equivalent to using their own identity and reputation as a guarantee.

If they commit fraud here, their reputation will be ruined once it is exposed.

If Zhang Xingwu hadn't been very kind to them, they wouldn't have guaranteed this kind of thing.

Later, under their supervision and even personal participation, another acre of experimental field was cleared. During the whole process, these people were extremely serious, and they even lay on the ground to study whether sweet potatoes were secretly buried underneath.

Pull out each sweet potato plant and even check to see if the rhizome is fresh.

He looked so serious that he just needed a magnifying glass to look at it.

But the more serious they are, the more illustrative it becomes.

During this process, several reporters from the daily newspapers kept taking pictures of these scenes with their cameras, and Zhang Xingwu also showed his face. He even picked out the largest sweet potato and hugged it with excitement, which was frozen by the camera.

On the contrary, it was Li Weidong. Although the other party offered to take photos of him, in any case, these new varieties were named after him, Weidong No. [-].

So as the breeder of Weidong No. [-], it is normal for him to show his face.

But he was rejected by Li Weidong.

He does need fame, but he doesn't need to be in the newspaper, and it is impossible for him to be in the newspaper and have his photo openly exposed.

Even if a reporter secretly took a photo, they would be detained when it was published in the newspaper.

Because of Li Weidong's confidentiality level, it was impossible for his appearance to appear in newspapers.

But just the name, or just the name of the new variety Weidong No. [-], is still fine.

And these days, there are not even one thousand but eight hundred people named Li Weidong.

Who would connect the two without photos?
After some careful inspection, this acre of sweet potatoes was quickly harvested and weighed again.

Unexpectedly, the weight of this acre of sweet potatoes was even greater than the two acres yesterday, directly reaching 1921 kilograms.

This is no longer just a problem of 40.00%, but close to a 50.00% increase in production.

Such a bumper harvest is naturally exciting.

Especially those model workers, they can be sure that the sweet potatoes in this acre of land are not fake and are all real.

If chemical fertilizers are not secretly added during the planting process, it will be inevitable for the country's sweet potato production to increase once it is popularized.

The reporters from the daily newspapers also took enough photos and recorded with pen the entire process of these Weidong-[-] from the beginning to the cultivation to the current experimental field. These are all first-hand information.

Especially when reporting, these narratives must be included to increase authenticity.

After these reporters left with the model workers, Zhang Xingwu did not give up. Instead, he brought a few more over the next day and repeated yesterday's process.

Even on the third day, he didn't know where to find several sweet potato experts, but this time, it was obviously different from the previous two times.
