Back to the Red Age

Chapter 166 Return to Beiqing

"Excuse me, are you Chef Qin Mingqin?" He had just come out of the private room and was about to visit the famous courtyard of the Forty-Nine City Hotel when he heard an uncertain voice coming from behind him. He turned around , in front of him was a strange face.

"You are really Chef Qin. I saw you from a distance during your thank you banquet, but I never expected to see you in person today."

The visitor looked polite and greeted him enthusiastically, "Chef Qin, please introduce yourself. My surname is Wang Xingguo. I am one of the public managers of the Forty-Nine City Hotel. I have heard about Chef Qin's new Sichuan cuisine. The best in the world, I finally met you in person today, I wonder if it is such an honor to ask Chef Qin to show his skills?"

"Manager Wang, is this inappropriate?" How can anyone ask a guest to cook as soon as they arrive, let alone the fact that this is the Forty-Nine City Hotel? Although he is a cook, he rashly goes up to carry a big spoon. This is not obvious. Are you scolding someone for not being able to grab a job with their skills? This is a taboo thing in the industry, so Qin Ming's face darkened a bit, "I'm here to accompany someone to talk about something, so I'm not suitable for cooking."

"Chef Qin, please don't get me wrong. In fact, this is what happened. Your reputation for being generous, eager to do justice, and generous with your teachings has spread in the circle. Everyone has always wanted to see your cooking skills. , but you are no longer in this circle, so this matter has become a regret for everyone. We just met each other by chance, and I was excited at the moment, so I went too far. I, Wang, am here to apologize to you, Please, Sir, please don't be ignorant of us." Wang Xingguo apologized to Qin Ming sincerely, and then called someone out. When Qin Ming saw He Ming, he seemed to understand why Wang Xingguo lost his composure. .

Previously, He Ming regarded Qin Ming as his strong rival and love rival, and tried his best to fight against him. However, after discovering Qin Ming's true strength, He Ming gave up and retreated. Later, Zhang Weiyong He became a fan of Qin Ming, pursuing all kinds of Qin Ming, and He Ming also became a fan of Qin Ming, but Qin Ming remembered that this boy was working as a cook in the steel rolling mill, so why did he suddenly come to the Forty-Nine City Hotel again?

"Master Qin, you also know that my cooking skills are nothing at all. Being a chef in a steel rolling mill seems to be respected, but it will be like that for the rest of my life. I want to return to Fengzeyuan, but Fengzeyuan has already There is no shortage of people, it just so happens that the Four Nine City Hotel needs people, so I came here to do some odd jobs."

Although He Ming said it lightly, Qin Ming knew that as long as there was no one behind He Ming, he would not be able to do the odd job at the Forty-Nine City Hotel.

And although his reputation is great, this is the Forty-Nine City Hotel, and there are many masters. As the public manager, Wang Xingguo is only one of them, but how can he be so fascinated by him? All of this must be related to He Ming couldn't escape the involvement, and as expected, He Ming soon admitted that he was the one who encouraged Qin Ming.

"Master Qin, I didn't mean it on purpose, but I think that the people at Sijiucheng Hotel are far behind you in terms of being a person or cooking..."

"Can this be the same?" Qin Ming said in his heart that this matter is completely different. "Why are the chefs at the Four Nine City Hotel unwilling to give orders? That's because they have to rely on this craft to eat, but Qin Ming is different. He doesn't If you plan to work in this industry, the reason why you teach others is just to prepare for opening a restaurant. The two sides have different positions, and the methods they adopt will naturally be different."

However, it is impossible for Qin Ming to tell others these things. Even if he told such things about the general trend of the world, others would not believe it.

After declining Wang Xingguo and He Ming's offer to cook, Qin Ming returned to the private room.

Both parties came with an attitude of friendly negotiation, so the negotiation went very smoothly. In the afternoon, the Lingquan liquid was safely delivered to the experimental base and handed over to Qin Ming.

At the same time, grains collected from the granary were also continuously delivered.

"Professor Liang, let's prepare the culture solution ratio together." The one year agreed between Qin Ming and Li Changqing now only has more than three months left. During this period, Qin Ming will teach all about the cultivation of grain seeds. Give it to the people at the experimental base, so that even if they leave, the work here can still continue. Moreover, these people are not idiots. They are all talents with real talents and knowledge, and they may be able to develop other varieties.

"This is a unique secret recipe. If you want to pass it on to me, you will be my teacher from now on." Professor Liang thought for a moment, and then gave Qin Ming a big gift. Qin Ming quickly turned aside and said, "Professor Liang, You are the elder, and you are hurting me by being like this." Not to mention that Qin Ming has never accepted a disciple, but this time he accepted a gray-haired old professor. Even if others didn't tell him, he didn't care about it in his own mind. make life difficult for.

"Teacher, teaching knowledge and solving doubts has nothing to do with age. If you can teach us knowledge, you are our teacher." On this point, Professor Liang is very stubborn.

People in this era are very simple. Qin Ming created the project, so the credit belongs to him. No one wants to take the credit from him, which stumps Qin Ming.

"Well, if you two don't mind, can I be your apprentice?" Lin Sheng weakly raised his hand at the side, and Professor Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Lin Sheng's words are good, even if the old man becomes your apprentice, The master will not live long, but this boy is young, Lin Sheng, please kowtow to your master and become a disciple."

"I said, Professor, there is really no need to do this. Even if I don't teach you these things, you can figure it out by yourself." Qin Ming still felt that this was inappropriate, but everyone thought it was reasonable. Lin Sheng was better than Qin Ming. He's only a few years older, so there's no problem in accepting him as his apprentice.

"I heard the elders in my family say that there is a complicated process to learn from a master. We don't have any outsiders here, so we are not so open to outsiders. However, you must drink the apprenticeship tea." After Lin Sheng finished speaking, he walked away. He ran away holding Qin Ming's big teapot. When he came back, the teapot was filled with water. With a 'pop' sound, Lin Sheng knelt directly in front of Qin Ming, "Master, disciple Lin Sheng, Meet the Master."

Seeing how clever Lin Sheng was, Qin Ming thought for a moment and took the teapot.

During the time he came to the experimental base, he had the deepest contact with Lin Sheng. Knowing that his ability and character were trustworthy, he took a sip of tea and put the enamel jar aside, "In that case, Lin Sheng, from now on From the beginning, you are my Qin Ming’s apprentice, so during this period, you should stay with me.”

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Sheng was overjoyed, kowtowed quickly and stood behind Qin Ming.

"Congratulations to Professor Qin for gaining a beloved disciple!" Everyone congratulated the two of them.

"This can't be done. I'm just a handyman, not a professor." Nowadays, professors also need to be rated. Qin Ming has no intention of participating in this rating, so the title of professor is naturally out of the question.

"Professor Qin, your knowledge has already surpassed all of ours. Although you have not yet participated in the rating assessment, in our eyes, you are a professor!"

Qin Ming didn't accept a disciple before, so it was okay to call him comrade, but now that he is not only capable, but also accepted a disciple, this honorific title has to be used.

"Professor Qin, is it a professor or not? It's just a title. The most important thing for us people is to do more practical things, right?" As soon as Professor Liang said this, Qin Ming felt a little ashamed, "Professor Liang said The words woke up the person in the dream, it was for my own sake."

"Xiao Lin, let's go and check the cultivation device with our master first."

In the past, when conducting experiments, we could use some daily tools to cultivate them, but now that there are many kinds of grains, this method is naturally not feasible. Fortunately, the superiors also attached great importance to their experiments, and many cultivation devices were transferred to them at once. .

In the following time, Qin Ming led everyone to cultivate various grain seeds in the experimental base.

As their project progresses, more and more grain seeds are transported from here and distributed to the grain depot.

Spring plowing is approaching, and even if Qin Ming and the others work hard every day, it is impossible to cultivate all the grain seeds in a short period of time. Therefore, the grain seeds are distributed in the form of half cultivated grain seeds and half uncultivated grain seeds. Although Qin Ming feels a little sad for the grain seeds that will be wasted, there is no way. Time is limited, but he can wait until next time. .

Three months is neither long nor short, almost in the blink of an eye, it's time for Qin Ming to leave the experimental base.

Early that morning, before dawn, Qin Ming climbed up from the kang. After putting his things into his baggage, Qin Ming left the dormitory with the baggage.

During this period, they have been working on breeding almost every day and night, and their relationship with the staff in the base is getting better and better. It is precisely because of this that he accidentally heard from several female researchers yesterday After talking about his departure and crying, he made the decision to leave alone.

The dormitory area was quiet at this time. Qin Ming left the dormitory building without disturbing anyone.

But when he came to the entrance of the base, he met a figure, "Professor Liang, why are you here?"

"I'm older, Young Master Jue. I'm here to wait for you." Professor Liang handed a bag of things to Qin Ming, "This is..."

"This is everyone's opinion. Don't refuse. Let's go and open it when you get back." Professor Liang urged Qin Ming to go out, then turned around and went back. "When you have time, come back often." , this experimental base will always be your home!"

"Win! I remember it!" Qin Ming squeezed the bag in his arms. It was so light that it was almost weightless, but if Professor Liang made a special trip to wait here, it would definitely not be empty. Could it be money tickets or something like that? s things?

It was still dark, so Qin Ming didn't open it. He turned around and strode away from the experimental base.

At Beiqing University, Qin Ming stood at the gate of the school with his luggage, thinking about where he should go.

I haven't been back for such a long time, and I don't know if my dormitory is still there.

It was now class time, and it was not convenient for Qin Ming to carry his things to find his roommate. Between going to the electrical department laboratory and the director's office, Qin Ming chose the latter.

"Dong dong dong" he knocked on the door of Director Wang's office.

"Please come in!"

Qin Ming opened the door. Director Wang was the only one in the office. He was writing something on his desk. When he looked up and saw Qin Ming coming in, he stood up happily and said, "No wonder there was a magpie so early this morning." Just as he was chirping, it turned out that the great hero of our Electrical Machinery Department has returned. Qin Ming, I already know that you are in the Agriculture Department, but you have made great achievements. Lao Li will definitely know that you are back. You will be very happy, should I ask him to come and take you away?"

"Not yet. I made an agreement with the teacher to take the exam for my senior year when I come back. Now I'm ready and can take the exam at any time."

"Really taking the exam?" Director Wang felt a little uneasy. Qin Ming was not messing around in vain when he went to the experimental base of the Department of Agriculture. He had improved a lot of grain and vegetable seeds. Although it was not the harvest season yet, those vegetables were better than The previous quality was much higher. To be able to achieve this in just one year, you can imagine how hard Qin Ming worked this year, precisely because he poured all his efforts into improving the improved varieties. , so we can achieve such great success.

But you can’t do two things at the same time!

If you are good at agriculture, can you still take courses in the electrical engineering department?

"Of course, this is the agreement between me and the teacher!"

"Well, you don't need to be so impatient. That old boy Li Changqing is not in school now," Director Wang smiled and reassured Qin Ming, "You have just finished your work. Please rest for a while. It won't be too late for us to take the exam again!"

Li Changqing is not in school?

Qin Ming was stunned. You must know that this is a scientific research madman who spends almost every day in the laboratory, but now, he is not in school. Could it be that he went to the Northwest?

If you think about it carefully, this is still possible. Li Changqing's research direction was originally related to this aspect. In addition, last time he made a linear motor steel pipe conveyor, it can also be used as a reference for Li Changqing and the others.

"Ding Ling Ling" Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the desk in Director Wang's office rang.

"Hello?" Director Wang grabbed the microphone.

"Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out to be you, old guy. What's the matter on the phone?" Director Wang's expression was relaxed and his tone was familiar. It was obvious that the person on the other end of the phone was an acquaintance of his.

"I understand, Qin Ming, Li Changqing's phone number."

Qin Ming took the phone and put it to his ear, "Hello, teacher?"

"Qin Ming, I'll give you a task. Complete your college coursework within two months, and then obtain the school's diploma. Can you do it?" Li Changqing's somewhat distorted voice came from the receiver.

"No problem, I promise to complete the task!" In fact, for Qin Ming, it didn't take that long at all.

"Okay, it's the laboratory of the School's Electrical Engineering Department. If you want to do anything, you can go directly there and I'll ask Lao Wang to grant you permission. I hope to hear the news about your successful graduation in two months."

"Tsk, tsk, two months. It seems that Li Changqing really has confidence in you," Director Wang said, "This time is not long. If you really want to achieve this goal, we have to take action now. "
