Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 889 Professor Liu's Identity
Professor Liu took a tour of the mushroom cultivation base and spoke highly of Zhou Ziwen's technology.

"Comrade Ziwen, your mushroom cultivation technology is really amazing." Professor Liu looked at Zhou Ziwen with admiration in his eyes.

"Professor Liu, you are too kind. I have only done some basic work," Zhou Ziwen said modestly.

"Ziwen, don't be so modest. Your technology not only increases the yield of mushrooms, but also improves the quality of mushrooms. This is of great significance to the agricultural development of our commune." President Fu also echoed.

"Yes, Ziwen, your technology is a valuable asset to our commune. We hope that you can continue to use your expertise to help our commune's agricultural development reach a new level." Wu Dagang also said.

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said he would continue to work hard.

Professor Liu observed the base for a while, then said to Zhou Ziwen: "Comrade Ziwen, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to have some technical exchanges with me? We can learn from each other and improve together."

When Zhou Ziwen heard this, he immediately agreed.

"Of course, Professor Liu. I also hope to learn more about agriculture from you."

"That's great." Professor Liu said happily, "This time I came here, in addition to wanting to see your mushroom cultivation situation, I also want to discuss some cultivation techniques with you. We can exchange experiences and see if we can find a better cultivation method."

"I am also looking forward to communicating with you." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Then let's go to the office and sit down and talk slowly." President Fu suggested.

"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

The group left the mushroom cultivation base and returned to the village committee office.

Wu Dagang asked someone to make tea, and then everyone sat around the table and began to exchange planting techniques.

Professor Liu spoke first: "Comrade Ziwen, I have seen your mushroom cultivation base and found that your cultivation method is very scientific. How do you do it?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just adjusted the planting environment based on the growth characteristics of mushrooms. For example, I controlled the temperature and humidity, ensured sufficient fresh air, and disinfected regularly, etc."

"These are all basic planting techniques, but it is not easy for you to do it so meticulously." Professor Liu nodded.

"Professor Liu, you are an expert in agriculture. Do you have any good suggestions on how to further improve the yield and quality of mushrooms?" Zhou Ziwen asked humbly.

"This requires comprehensive consideration of many factors." Professor Liu thought for a moment, then said, "First, you can try to introduce some new mushroom varieties to see if they can adapt to your environment. Secondly, you can study the nutritional content of mushrooms to see if you can improve the quality of mushrooms by adjusting the culture medium."

Zhou Ziwen listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"In addition, you can also consider the deep processing of mushrooms. For example, making dried mushrooms, canned mushrooms, etc., which can increase the added value of mushrooms." Professor Liu continued.

"Professor Liu's suggestion is very inspiring. I will consider it carefully." Zhou Ziwen said gratefully.

"Comrade Ziwen, you don't have to be so modest. Your technology is already very mature. As long as you keep working hard, I believe your mushroom cultivation base will develop better and better." Professor Liu encouraged.

"Thank you, Professor Liu." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"By the way, Comrade Ziwen, I have another idea." Professor Liu suddenly said, "This time I came here, in addition to wanting to exchange planting techniques with you, I also want to invite you to participate in an agricultural seminar in our province. I wonder if you are willing to go?"

Zhou Ziwen was stunned. He didn't expect Professor Liu to make such an invitation.

"Professor Liu, I may not have time to attend this." Zhou Ziwen thought about it and finally refused.

He now has a family to take care of and a mushroom cultivation base to manage, so he really can't spare the time.

"It's okay, I'm just making a suggestion. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to attend our seminar at any time." Professor Liu said with understanding.

"Thank you, Professor Liu." Zhou Ziwen nodded gratefully.

Next, Professor Liu discussed some details of planting technology with Zhou Ziwen, and the two had a very interesting conversation. President Fu and Wu Dagang sat aside, listening to the conversation and also learned a lot.

Time passed quickly and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Wu Dagang suggested: "Professor Liu, President Fu, it's noon, let's have lunch together!"

"Okay." Professor Liu nodded.

"Then let's go to the cafeteria. I have asked someone to prepare the food." Wu Dagang said.

"Okay." President Fu also agreed.

The group arrived at the cafeteria, where a sumptuous meal was already prepared on the table.

Everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Through the chat, Zhou Ziwen also learned about Professor Liu's identity.

He is a professor at the Provincial Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College, specializing in planting and breeding techniques.

When Zhou Ziwen learned about Professor Liu's identity, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"By the way, Professor Liu, does your college have white piglets?" Zhou Ziwen asked tentatively.

"White pig, you are talking about Landrace pig, right?" Professor Liu was stunned and then asked.

"Yes, yes, I heard that Landrace pigs grow fast, have a short breeding cycle, and are highly profitable. If our village can also breed them, I believe it will be of great help to the development of the village."

Zhou Ziwen said excitedly.

Hearing the conversation between Zhou Ziwen and Professor Liu, Wu Dagang and the team leader on the side also became eager.

Even President Fu was concentrating on listening to their conversation.

It would be great if the Landrace pig was really as magical as Zhou Ziwen said.

"Oh? Ziwen, it seems you know a lot about Landrace pigs!" Professor Liu looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.

"Professor Liu, I have only heard a little about it. I know that Landrace pigs are an excellent breed of pig. If they can be introduced to our village, I believe it will be of great help to our breeding industry." Zhou Ziwen explained.

"Yes, Landrace pigs are indeed a good breed. They grow fast, have strong reproductive capacity, and have good meat quality."

Professor Liu nodded hurriedly. "There are some Landrace pigs in our college's farm. If you are interested, I can help you get in touch with them."

Looking at Professor Liu's expression, it seemed as if he was afraid that Zhou Ziwen would not raise Landrace pigs.

"But how come we have never heard of such a good pig?"

Wu Dagang on the side asked.

Wu Dagang was an experienced and shrewd man. He felt something was wrong as soon as he saw Professor Liu's expression.

Sure enough, Professor Liu felt a little embarrassed when he heard Wu Dagang's question.

He also realized that he seemed to be too eager.
