1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 549: New melon varieties cause a big drama

Luo Tao and his party came to the vegetable greenhouse area.

Picking a shed at random, the brigade walked in and saw a few women comrades in their 40s who were busy taking care of vegetables in the shed.

They were very nervous when they saw so many people whom they didn't know. They stopped what they were doing and froze in place, not knowing how to speak.

At this time, Wei Erlai, Wanhe and others took advantage of their grassroots work and introduced Luo Tao and his party to them.

They had a certain understanding of each other, and Luo Tao also fully developed his spirit of becoming one with the people.

Putting the inspection work aside for now, it is necessary to chat with the villagers about daily life.

"How many people are in the family?"

"How long have you been working here?"

"What's your family's annual income?"

Such a simple question immediately narrowed the distance between them.

Several elder sisters saw that Luo Tao was not only wearing a simple gray tunic suit, but also a pair of old cloth shoes.

What's more important is that he has the face of a good guy.

It was particularly comfortable to look at, especially when his smile was like a spring breeze, warming everyone.

Luo Tao's current appearance is true to the old saying, appearance comes from the heart, and a person's appearance will change according to the quality of the heart.

"If there is a mind but no form, the phases follow the mind and arise; if there is a form but no mind, the phases follow the mind and disappear."

Doing too many good things can not only change a person's mood, but also change his appearance.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the four major evil arts in Asia, it is not far behind.

"Appearance comes from the heart" This "appearance" does not mean to change a person's appearance, but to increase the aura of kindness in a person.

As Luo Tao, he is very aware of this change in appearance. After all, he has witnessed what he will look like when he is in his 60s.

Nowadays, everything is changing, and he is not surprised by this. This may be God helping him to make a change in appearance from the person he was in the previous life.

More importantly, after more than ten years of rebirth, he has gotten used to the living habits of this "Luo Tao".

Regarding the decades in his previous life, he could only say that it was nothing more than an illusory dream.

This life is his real life.

Several fellow villagers especially liked chatting with Luo Tao and Zhu Lin. They stood in the vegetable greenhouse that had already warmed up and chatted about home affairs. They also enthusiastically introduced the seasonal vegetables they now manage to Luo Tao and his wife.

After listening to their introduction, Luo Tao learned that the yield of tomatoes grown here is very impressive, reaching [-] kilograms per mu.

I also learned a lot about growing tomatoes.

"I just heard you say this tomato is sweet. You have to taste it to really know whether it is sweet or not?"

You must know that the vegetables in the greenhouse are not as delicious as the original ones. Take this tomato as an example. The tomatoes grown in the greenhouse are not as sweet and delicious as the original ones.

When they heard that Luo Tao wanted to eat the tomatoes in the greenhouse, they were very happy, but they were also worried.

After all, the vegetables grown in the greenhouse are not from their own small vegetable garden.

Out of the most essential considerations, they hesitated for a moment.

However, in just a few seconds, they also wanted to understand why the boss needed to ask for other people's opinions if he wanted to eat his own food.

Moreover, the village party secretary Er Lai and Manager Wan were both here, so there was no possibility of suspecting them of stealing food.

So he generously invited Luo Tao and his party to eat tomatoes.

They pick the ones that are red and big.

Everyone with status had one in hand. As soon as Luo Tao took it, the people accompanying Xu Le quickly handed over the water, meaning they wanted to wash it before eating.

Luo Tao's face darkened when he saw this.

“If we don’t dare to eat the vegetables we grow ourselves, how can we let others trust that we grow good vegetables?”

Luo Tao warned them severely.

They were criticized by Luo Tao and knew they were wrong, so they all lowered their heads.

Luo Tao didn't intend to catch them, but planned to clean them up severely.

His eyes and thoughts quickly shifted to the tomato in his hand, he fiddled with it for a few times and then took a big bite.

Sweet and juicy, it is worthy of being a fruit among vegetables and a vegetable among fruits.

This scene just now was naturally seen by several leaders of Xiweng Town who came with them. This deepened their understanding of Luo Tao, and their good impression of Luo Tao reached an unprecedented height.

They all praised Luo Tao, and at the same time expressed their recognition of Luo Tao with practical actions, and imitated Luo Tao's eating habits.

The tomatoes were very delicious, and Luo Tao was full of praise for them. He even told several elder sisters that the tomatoes were so delicious because of their hard work.

A simple greeting.

It almost brought tears to the eyes of several elder sisters. Their faces were filled with joy and being recognized by others was something worth celebrating.

After chatting with a few elder sisters, the group visited several vegetable greenhouses under the leadership of Wan He.

The sun is high in the sky, and the surface temperature is getting higher and higher. Entering the greenhouse at this time is definitely torture to the body, rather than enjoyment.

Due to various considerations, the group did not intend to continue to inspect the shed. Instead, they went to the watermelon planting area to find a pergola and sat on the sorghum poles placed under the pergola.

Luo Tao asked Wanhe: "Are you still working in the shed in this weather?"

"No one is working now. We have time regulations. Since it is late spring and the temperature has warmed up a bit, we usually start working at six in the morning. The period from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon is the rest time. At four in the afternoon to six o’clock.…”

As the person in charge here, Wanhe explained to Luo Tao in detail.

This work and rest time rule looks good, but in Luo Tao's view, it is too rigid and not very flexible.

Then he suggested: "This is too rigid. I think you should arrange your working hours flexibly according to the weather changes of the day. If it's hot, go to bed early, and if it's cold, work more."

Later, I suggested to several leaders in the town, "If there is any problem here, you have the responsibility to come forward to safeguard the interests of the villagers... After all, this is under your rule."

When Luo Tao said these words, several people in the system were greatly encouraged. They felt that there would never be a better investment company than Xichang in the world.

There is no entrepreneur who understands righteousness better than Luo Tao.

"Mr. Luo, we have always been very grateful to Xichang for coming to us for investment and construction... To be honest, since Xichang came to our Xiweng Town, the changes in our town have been getting better year by year... and indirectly. Attract other companies to come to us.

In the past two years, the lives of the villagers have been greatly improved. Everyone is very grateful to Xichang, thank you.

The folks all say that Xichang is good, but no one says that Xichang is not good.

Let me tell you the truth, as long as Xichang can lead everyone to get rich, it doesn't matter if everyone is tired and miserable. "

He asked the fellow villagers around him very encouragingly: "Do you think this is the truth?"

The villagers praised Xichang one after another.

At this time, seven or eight uninvited guests suddenly arrived from the periphery of the crowd.

The leader is Sun Zhan'an, who is now the top leader in Miyun. He is a retired soldier and a serious hero who has been on the battlefield.Even when he arrived at the place, he still maintained the straightforwardness of a soldier.

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

His laughter is also considered a beauty in Miyun. Because this man likes to go deep into the grassroots all year round, the 40 people in Miyun are very impressed with him.

Everyone thinks that he is the official who can best stand with the people.

Luo Tao also knew a lot about this person and admired his ability to go deep into the grassroots and truly understand the voices of the people.

He has also visited Xichang Vegetable Basket in Xiweng Town many times for inspection and research, and most of the folks here know him.

His arrival naturally caused a commotion.

Everyone shouted: The secretary and the county magistrate are here.

They also all moved out of the way, which shows that he is indeed loved by the people of Miyun.

He and Zhang Dongfeng had no airs among the crowd. They shook hands with everyone cordially and exchanged a few greetings.

When the first and second leaders in the county arrived, Luo Tao naturally stood up to greet them.

"Secretary Sun, County Magistrate Zhang, long time no see!"

"Mr. Luo, you are wrong. Why don't you come to Miyun and sit down in the county for me and County Magistrate Zhang to fulfill our duties as landlords?
You said hello in advance and came quietly. If Comrade Chen Nong from Huai County hadn't called us, we would still be waiting in the county. "

These words had a bit of an instigation to punish him, and now I can see that this is the character of this person.

He had no intention of asking guilt in his heart, it was just to show that they were familiar with each other.

Luo Tao readily admitted his mistake and joked, "What? This Xiweng Town is not under the rule of your Secretary Sun."

Everyone smiled when they heard this.

Luo Tao added: "I think you two can do your part as landlords here. Just now, Secretary Wang and the others in the town treated us to tomatoes."

Sun Zhan'an knew in his heart that he was joking, and there was a slight surprise on his face. He pointed at the secretary of Xiweng Town and criticized with a smile: "I said you old Wang, what you are doing is wrong. You invited Mr. Luo in advance. , What do you want me and County Magistrate to do?"

The leader joked that it was like walking on stilts on ice, which would easily ruin your appearance.

Serious humor.

Secretary Wang from Xiweng Town also followed the leader closely. He didn't talk much and just kept to the point.

Acknowledging the mistake with a smile, "My fault."

County Magistrate Zhang Dongfeng, who had been silent at this time, stepped forward at the right moment to "make peace".

"Since Lao Wang and the others invited Mr. Luo to eat tomatoes, I think we might as well treat everyone to watermelon."

Speaking sometimes requires skills.

If someone else said this, it would give people the impression that they were going to have sex for nothing and treat them to eat the watermelon they grew in their place. It would feel a bit awkward no matter how you think about it.

But when Zhang Dongfeng said this, it was different.

No one in the system present knew that Luo Tao and Zhang Dongfeng were from the same family, and they were both considered to be the top leaders of the city. If they were older, they were members of the Xu family.

What a family eats a few watermelons.

In fact, everyone is "playing". Are these words really just for a few watermelons?

Everyone is just trying to get closer.

This may seem like it has been rehearsed in advance, but in reality this situation can happen at any time.

The stories in the novel are arranged logically, but in reality many things happen by chance, not necessity.

When there are multiple coincidences in an event, it is definitely a conspiracy.

"This is good. The weather is perfect for eating melons." Luo Tao, as the real landlord here, agreed before Secretary Sun could answer.

After the performances of these three performing artists, it is time for first-class actors to enter the stage.

Wan He, the manager of Xichang Vegetable Basket in Xiweng Town, immediately took people to pick up watermelons in the greenhouse.

The movements were very quick, and within a short time several people came with seven or eight watermelons in their arms.

Someone had already prepared water, a small table, and melon-cutting tools.

They didn't need Luo Tao to tell them anything and they had it all done.

For a few minutes, everyone sat around under the watermelon arbor and ate melons.

Just when everyone was enjoying the food, Zhang Dongfeng suddenly said, "Qing Enemy Yan's power has subsided, and Liang Sheng's wine tolerance is wide."

Everyone was stunned, didn't they agree that everyone would concentrate on being melon-eating people, why did you become a cultural person.

This hole was opened by Zhang Dongfeng, and even Secretary Sun, who was born in the military, couldn't help but cater to his ancient poems about watermelons.

"What kind of watermelon is this? Why is it so sweet and the skin is so thin?"

Faced with Secretary Sun's question, Wanhe acted as the explainer and explained: "Secretary Sun, this is the 8424 melon variety developed by researcher Wu Mingzhu, a breeding expert from Yuanjiang. ..."

Mr. Wu Mingzhu is a great god in my country's melon industry and is definitely the "Queen of Melons". The Uyghur people affectionately call her the "Pearl on the Gobi Desert".

She is also Yuan Shen’s classmate.

The number 8424 is the code name of this variety of watermelon. It was researched by Mr. Wu Mingzhu in 1984. Some people say that the number 24 is time, and some people say that it is because many experimental proportioning plans were used at that time, and finally a good variety was found in group 24.

The melon of this variety, 8424, has thin skin, pink flesh, fine and crunchy texture, and is of excellent quality.

It is very popular in the market. Due to the short development time, it is not widely disseminated yet.

Xichang is able to obtain such good melon varieties thanks to the endorsement of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. With their support, there are basically a number of newly developed varieties of vegetables grown in Xichang every year.

This is the best example of having the coolness behind a big tree.

However, this coquettish thing is enough for everyone. After all, except Luo Tao, everyone else's traditional cultural foundation is very weak.

The topic gradually deviated, so everyone chatted about development while eating watermelon.

Everyone worked together and put forward a lot of opinions, which made Tian Hao and Wan He, who were responsible for the vegetable basket base affairs, feel even more pressure.

Of course, several people within the system will not interfere with their normal work. They are only concerned about the future development of Xichang Food Basket.

It is no secret that Xichang built an agricultural research institute in Huai County.

They are a little worried that Miyun will lose its previous status as the main force in the Xichang vegetable basket project.

Luo Tao did not argue with them on this issue, but made a guarantee in front of the villagers that Xichang will always be in Miyun...

He also made it clear to them that in the future, Xichang will build Miyun into a benchmark for the vegetable basket industry in the country and even the world.
