Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 153

Li Lei recalled the basic situation of several academicians in the agricultural field in Hunan, academician Zou Xiaoxue of chili pepper, Liu Zhonghua, academician of tea, Bai Lianyang, academician of weed control, Shan Yang, academician of food engineering, and Wu Yiqiang, academician of wood and bamboo, and himself. It has little to do with the results, and there is no point in rushing to the door.

Yin Yulong, an academician of pig farming, is currently working at the Institute of Animal Nutrition in Germany, and he cannot be found at the Institute of Subtropical Agroecology.

The most famous academician, although there is nothing to cooperate with at the moment, but since he is here, I feel a little regretful to take a look.

"Go to Mapoling!" Li Lei still couldn't hold back, and reported the familiar address to Xu Zhengyang, where the Hybrid Rice Research Center is, and it is also a sacred place in the hearts of many agricultural practitioners.

Xu Zhengyang flipped through the map, turned the car to the east, crossed the Liuyang River, and turned north when he was about to reach the Agricultural College. After driving for a while, he saw a small four-story building set off by the low earthen houses around him. The bottom is very conspicuous.

This was built two years ago. Mr. Yuan first worked in Anjiang Agricultural School in Huaihua. His first paper "Male Sterility of Rice" and the "Three Lines" of indica hybrid rice were completed here .

On June 1984, 6, the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center was established, and Mr. Yuan served as the director. In the following decades, he spent almost all of his time here.

"Okay, just stop here, let's go over there!" Li Lei asked Xu Zhengyang to stop when he was still one mile away from the research center.

Taking out the camera and hanging it around his neck, Li Lei walked over unhurriedly. At this time, the research center was not as luxurious as later generations. There was only a small building surrounded by experimental fields. The rice in the fields had grown to waist height. Several researchers are doing research in the rice fields.

Li Lei recognized Mr. Yuan at a glance. He was wearing plain clothes, standing among the waves of rice fluttering in the wind, holding an ear of rice in his hand, and his eyes were serious and focused.

His skin is dark, which is the result of being often exposed to the wind and sun in the field. His hairline has not moved back, his hair is thick and black, and he looks abnormally energetic.

I don't know if he found something, Yuan Lao suddenly laughed, and hurriedly called other researchers to come over to look at the ear of rice in his hand. After a while, people gathered around, staring at the ear of rice engrossed, chattering Tongue said something, and then let out a hearty laugh at the same time.

This should be a breakthrough, right?Li Lei hurriedly picked up the camera and recorded this precious scene. At this time, Xu Zhengyang also followed. He was a little curious why Li Lei stopped, "Boss, what expert do we need to see again? Why don't we go?"

"Forget it this time, I'm sorry to come to the door empty-handed, and come back when you have prepared a gift next time!" Although he didn't speak, he could be regarded as seeing Yuan Lao with his own eyes, and Li Lei was already very satisfied.

"There are still two boxes of eggs in the car, which were originally used as samples to open up the market. Now that we have to go back, they shouldn't be needed, right?" Xu Zhengyang reminded.

"Yes, yes." Li Lei hurried back to the car with Xu Zhengyang, drove the car to the entrance of the research center, and then walked in with a box of eggs.

"What do you two do?" The old man at the gate stopped them, "Our place is a research center, and outsiders are not allowed to come in casually."

"It's okay if you don't go in, so please help me pass it on!" Li Lei put the eggs in front of him, opened the box and showed him, "The two boxes of eggs are also a little bit of our heart, for Researcher Yuan and other work. Thanks to the staff for their contribution to the farmers!"

"No, no, no, we have regulations, we can't accept these!" The old man at the gate is no stranger to it. Since the invention of hybrid rice, people often come to give gifts.

"We came all the way here, you can't let us take things back, can you?" Li Lei winked at Xu Zhengyang, Xu Zhengyang immediately went back to start the car, Li Lei stopped the uncle a little bit, and then jumped into the car with a stride , "Master, I put the things down, please hand them over to Researcher Yuan, and I will come back next time!"

After Xu Zhengyang kicked the gas pedal, the car ran away with a whine, leaving only the gatekeeper speechless at the door, "Hey, it's like this again, it won't work if you don't take it!"

It seems that this is not the first time he encountered the thing of putting down his things and leaving, so he had to go to the building and call two people to deliver the eggs to the cafeteria.

In fact, he was also very happy in his heart. Researcher Yuan and his uncles also saw their hard work. It would be good to have a few more eggs to supplement their nutrition.

As long as Researcher Yuan and the others can eat well, I'll be fine with a few criticisms. It's not a big deal. Could it be that they can still fire me?
In the rice field, Researcher Yuan may have heard the commotion here, looked up twice, and then lowered his head to observe the ears of rice seriously.

Li Lei kept looking at them until their figures disappeared from his sight, and then slowly turned his head. This time, he only brought some eggs. I am sorry to meet with Researcher Yuan. I will meet him next time when I prepare a better gift. Let's meet!Li Lei had already thought about what gift to prepare.

To increase rice production, seeds are definitely the most critical, but only seeds are not enough, and better fertilizers and pesticides are needed. In these two aspects, I can still do something.

"Is that the researcher Yuan mentioned in the newspaper?" Xu Zhengyang asked curiously. He had seen reports about Researcher Yuan in the newspaper, and he also knew about this agricultural science and technology worker who made more Chinese people eat rice.

"The one with the ear of rice in his hand just now has big ears, so it's easy to recognize!" This face is probably one of the most famous in the country, right?

"Oh, that's him." Xu Zhengyang was a little surprised. This ordinary-looking man seemed not much different from the average old farmer. He didn't expect to make such a great achievement.

That night, they returned to Wuhan, rested overnight in Wuhan, and continued to set off early the next morning, heading north all the way back to Central Plains Province.

When we arrived in Central Plains Province, the situation on both sides of the road was a little different. We could see wall advertisements saying "Farmers want to get rich, Huinong is here to help".

Now the advertisements of feed mills and breeding farms have spread throughout the province, and there are also advertisements in Chongqing, Hefei, Wuhan, and Xi'an, but the scope is not so wide, only around the cities, and there are not many other cities.

After walking along the national highway for a while, when encountering road construction ahead, we had to go down and take the provincial road around. After walking for a while, we encountered someone blocking the road to collect tolls.

A few stones were placed by the side of the road, and a tree that had just been cut down was erected on it. The bark was not even peeled off. The people guarding the side were not wearing uniforms. ", saw a car stop, and quickly surrounded it with a hoe.

"How much?" Well, Li Lei also saw what was going on. This pole was definitely built by the villagers in the nearby village without any official permission.

This is also the norm nowadays. As the saying goes, "You can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to drink water." If you are close to the road, you have to eat the road. You can collect money with a tree. Anyone who dares to break through will be stabbed When a hornet's nest is formed, the whole village can come out to trouble you.

So Li Lei had no choice but to admit that he was cowardly and planned to spend money to buy peace. Fortunately, such charges were generally not very high, and they were relatively easy to satisfy.

"Ten yuan, ten yuan, let him go!" This asking price is a bit expensive, and it is worth half a month's wages for workers who have just entered the factory, but now those who can drive on the road are rich people, and they don't care about it. point.

Li Lei was about to pay, but Xu Zhengyang pressed his hand, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took a walk around, and then said, "We are from Huinong Feed Factory, and we just delivered the feed."

"Really from Hui Farm?" Several people were stunned.

"Look, this is my work card. Our factory uses this kind of Japanese trucks, and there are not many in the whole Central Plains." Xu Zhengyang showed his work card.

The other party took it and stared at it for a long time, but it was a pity that he couldn't read it. Fortunately, he was quick-witted, so he ran directly under the wall advertisement, looked at the advertisement on the wall for a while, and looked at the work card in his hand for a while. Recognized, "It seems that it is indeed the word Huinong."

"You bastard knows the word for shit, go and call Fang Laoer over, he bought Huinong's feed and knows the delivery person, let him see if it's right!" The person next to him scolded him twice Then he shouted at the top of his voice. This is the case in the village. The traffic basically depends on walking, and the communication basically depends on shouting.

"Come on, come on, what's the matter! Are you going to fight!" After a while, Fang's second son came over with a hoe. He thought someone was going to break into the card by force, so he was going to help fight.

"Look, do you recognize this car? Is it Huinong's car delivering feed? And this work permit, is it real?" The person who called him pointed at the truck and handed him Xu Zhengyang's work pass.

"Well, it's Huinong's work permit, which is exactly the same as Master Mao's!" Master Mao was the truck driver who delivered the goods to him. He looked up at the car again, "The car is also the same."

"Forget it, let's go! No more money!" The leader waved his hand resentfully, and asked someone to lift the pole, letting Li Lei and the others leave.

When they let them go, Li Lei didn't want to leave, so he got out of the car, unpacked a pack of cigarettes and walked around, "Why don't Hui Nong's car accept money when others charge money?"

"We are too poor to do this!" Fang Laoer took a look at the cigarette, and it was still a filter. He couldn't bear to smoke at the moment, so he put it directly on his ear, and then explained to Li Lei, "The people in Hui Farm are all good people. Teach us to raise chickens and pigs, and help us earn money, if we take money from them, are we still human?"

"This house belongs to his family. Hui Nong wrote a few words on the wall and gave him five yuan; and he also raised chickens at home and made a lot of income every month, so there are regulations in the village. But all Hui Nong's cars will be released for free!" Fang Laoer said excitedly.

Farmers’ ideas are simple. Whoever can help them live a good life is a good person. Huinong has brought hope to the village, so he must be a good person. How can we collect money from a good person?
"What's the name of this master? Where did you deliver the feed? Why haven't I seen you before?" Fang Er Er asked.

"My surname is Li, and his surname is Xu. This time, we are going to Wuhan to deliver feed. We are mainly responsible for developing new markets. There are few markets in the province. It is not surprising that you have never seen them!" This situation made Li Lei very pleased. , It is definitely something to be proud of to be recognized by farmers.

"I heard from Master Mao that you are going to open a new factory in Wuhan." Now the last bit of doubt is gone, Fang's second child is pulling Li Lei affectionately and is about to pull him home, "It just so happens that it is time for dinner Come to my house and have a meal before leaving!"

"It's okay to eat, but you have to pay for the meal. If you don't charge me, I won't go!" Li Lei really wanted to go to his house to sit and learn about the common people's recognition of Hailan layer hens and Huinong feed.

"Hey, your factory is good in everything, but it's too unreasonable. You have helped us so much, and you have to pay for the meal, so that other people think I'm stingy!" Fang Laoer was very angry. have no choice.

This is also the rules and regulations that Li Lei has repeatedly emphasized. Regardless of whether it is delivery or door-to-door technical guidance, as long as you eat at a farmer's house, you have to pay for the meal, and you can't take advantage of others; judging from Fang's second reaction, The system works well.

Ask Xu Zhengyang to pull over the car, and the two of them followed Fang Laoer to prepare for his house. Fang Laoer called several people to accompany him. Seeing this, Li Lei hurried to the nearby supply and marketing agency to buy a barrel of loose wine. Needless to say, He must drink later, so let him buy this wine.

"Second, are there any visitors at home?" Villagers kept calling along the way.

"The people from Huinong are here, the distinguished guests are here, third uncle, you have to come and help me make a scene!" The second Fang's face was glowing red, as if it was an honor for the people from Huinong to come to his house for dinner same thing.

"In the middle, I'm going to treat the distinguished guests with two bowls!" Li Lei was almost scared to pee at these words. With so many accompanying guests, if each of them had two bowls, he would have to drink and lie down.

When he arrived at the door of Mr. Fang's house, there were already two tables of people behind him. As soon as he got home, he asked his wife to cook quickly, and then poured cigarettes and water for Li Lei and the others.

"This is the pig you raised? It's not bad." Li Lei walked to the pigsty with a water cup to observe. There were also folk pigs in it. He fed a few piglets that were fat and chubby. Humming and screaming, I thought it was time for dinner.

"It's all your technicians who taught me well. He explained clearly how to raise and how to feed. If I don't raise well, wouldn't I be as stupid as a pig?" Fang Laoer said with a smile.

"Are there many pigs in the village?" Li Lei asked while continuing to observe.

"Baby pigs are not cheap, and the cost of feed is also high. Most people still only raise one, and not many like me raise several; but there are many chickens, and baby chickens are cheap, and you still come to collect eggs, as long as you have the ability Everyone is willing to raise it!"

"Raise chickens to make money first, and then raise pigs when you have saved enough! Hey, there seems to be something wrong with this pig!"
