Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1367, page 1354: Is it true that people say it doesn't?

Because they love eating wolf tooth potatoes, they specially cultivated a variety.

This reason... is very good, very powerful.

The reasons are very valid.

Having technical skills is awesome.

However, some people are still curious.

What are wolf tooth potatoes?

Luo Yihang replied, "Wolf tooth potatoes are a snack in the southwest region. They are characterized by cutting potatoes into thick, wavy strips, deep-frying them, and then adding seasonings. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and spicy and appetizing."

[Delicious, absolutely delicious! Potato lovers give Xiaoyan a million thumbs up! Long live Xiaoyan!!!]

[If wolf tooth potatoes are delicious, then they must be delicious as fries, right?]

Upon seeing this, Luo Yihang replied, "It's different. For French fries, potatoes with 22% to 24% high starch content are best, including about 33% amylose. They should form a glassy, ​​crispy crust after frying, not crumbly. They should also contain more than 65% amylopectin, which can form a loose honeycomb structure at high temperatures, so that when you bite into the crispy crust, you'll have a sandy texture inside."

"The variety of fries should be Qiuyan No. 19 or No. 20, but the specific location for planting hasn't been determined yet," Luo Yihang added.

However, not many people care.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned by the description.

【Huh?? Are there really so many rules about making French fries?】

You guys really did research this!

[That's so true! French fries should be crispy and crunchy to be delicious. Sprinkle with a little salt, and you just can't stop eating them!]

No need to ask, Xiaoyan is definitely craving French fries again.

Sister Xiaoyan is truly a savior for us potato lovers!

[Xiaoyan, hurry up, hurry up! We fries lovers are waiting for you!]

Wait, wait, is it really going to become this detailed?

Netizens quickly changed their minds and immediately accepted and looked forward to the "luxury" of cultivating a variety specifically for a food.

But some people think this is way too "extravagant"...

No, you guys... sigh, I don't know how to put it, is it impressive or outrageous?

Having over 10,000 patents is impressive, right? Isn't it a bit wasteful to use resources on a single product that can only be made into one dish?

[It's not just a little bit; you have to understand that in many places people still don't have enough to eat.]

Where? Africa or the Middle East? America? Yes, there are indeed people in America who go hungry; more than 20,000 people starve to death every year.

Didn't they tell you how to solve the problem of food and clothing?

Do you know our goal? To achieve communism. The core of communism is the extreme abundance of material wealth.

The fact that a single variety is specifically cultivated for a particular vegetable is a concrete manifestation of abundant resources.

Continuously meeting the people's ever-growing needs for a better life is a clear manifestation of adhering to the people-centered development philosophy.

Do you know the corporate culture of Cat Head? It's all about eating well and being full.

Look how sophisticated netizens are these days, connecting theory with practice.

Luo Yihang felt incredibly satisfied when he saw these comments.

He picked up another potato, held it in his palm with obvious affection, and said softly, "We put in a lot of effort to develop this technology, with over ten thousand patents and countless hours of hard work. Once we have the technology, we should use it to benefit humanity or even just a local community."

"This is an example of a new application direction for Breeding 4.0 technology: cultivating proprietary, unique, and distinctive varieties."

"It doesn't have to be widely adaptable, nor does it need to be particularly productive or outstanding. It may not be able to change the world, but it can change a small part, adapt to a certain place, and bring a small piece of beauty. That's enough."

“Breeding 4.0 can not only cultivate high-end varieties like Super Malan Grass and Jiaoqiqi, but also cultivate small and beautiful varieties.”

“For example, the Yuqiuyan No. 16.” Luo Yihang held up the potato. “It was bred specifically for wolf tooth potatoes and is only suitable for planting near Tongzi, Guizhou.”

"Quick and simple, no need for universality."

Luo Yihang put down the potatoes, faced the camera, and spoke with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

"Our goal is that each of the 1303 counties in the country should have its own specialty products; and each of the 4 townships should have its own unique flavor."

“Every specialty product and every flavor can bring joy to those who taste it and bring wealth to the local area.”

“Michelin says that every three-star restaurant they award is worth making a special trip to.”

"I hope that in the near future, every county and every town in the country will have delicious food that is worth making a special trip to taste."

Speaking of it.

Luo Yihang paused for a moment, then suddenly grinned mischievously.

With a wave of his hand, he said passionately, "Go eat, you greedy girls and greedy boys!"

"We'll start selling weight loss products later..."

The live stream fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang.

The screen was filled with a dense barrage of comments, layer upon layer.

【Did anyone say that?】

Is this even human language? How can someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius harbor such a cold heart?

It's all a trick, a complete scheme.

[They really are heartless capitalists, utterly wicked]

[You want to fatten us up first, then sell us weight loss products, and then slaughter us, right?]

[But, ironically, I'm actually quite looking forward to it. I admit, I'm a big glutton; just thinking about it makes me happy.]

Please, just sell weight loss products now! I gain weight even from drinking water, it's so painful!

Despite so much "condemnation," Luo Yihang still had the nerve to joke.

"It's a waste to gain weight just by drinking cold water. How about wolf tooth potatoes? It's more worthwhile to eat something good so that you gain weight properly."

Then, before the audience could even voice their opinions...

They anticipated their predictions.

Luo Yihang reached out and traced a large circle around the vast terraced fields harvested on and below the mountain.

"Look, the Autumn Goose No. 16 is already being harvested and will be available to everyone in a few days. Want to try some? If you do, follow Qiaomao Fried Food Shop. We have nationwide distribution, and this time there's no limit on quantity!"

As soon as these words came out.

Wails everywhere.

[Oh no, you can't trust what the cat says...]
-
imperial capital.

A sanatorium in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.

Uncle Li and a group of think tank experts gathered together again and reopened the command center.

And there were more people than when we were in Ping'an Gou.

As for why it wasn't in Ping'an Ditch?

Because this time it doesn't have much to do with Luo Yihang.

The meeting room remained filled with smoke and was in a chaotic state.

Everyone looked exhausted, their eyes were bloodshot, and they smoked one cigarette after another to stay awake.

"What's the situation now? Have you compiled any statistics?" Uncle Li asked in a hoarse voice.

Old Zhou, who helped out when Zuike Perfume went to sea, also came this time.

He pulled out a form, cleared his throat, and answered in the same hoarse voice, “In the past week, a fire broke out at a warehouse in the Ica region of Peru, killing three people and destroying 2,700 tons of goods, with estimated losses of $7.5 million; the Sudanese civil war broke out, and several transshipment warehouses were occupied, and negotiations are underway with the warring parties, but our satellites show that they haven’t even reached those areas; a warehouse in Pahang, Malaya, caught fire, and the losses have not yet been tallied, reportedly storing over 70,000 tons of fertilizer; a cargo ship carrying chemical raw materials ran aground and sank in the Caribbean Sea; and the Maersk, which was prosecuted and seized before it ran away, actually… haha, encountered pirates in the Gulf of Aden and was towed to Eritrea…”

Old Zhou started laughing as he talked.

This is all a mess.

And yet they all issued official announcements in such a serious manner. It's laughable.

These "accidents" might actually be real.

But the losses are 99% fake.

There's a term for this kind of thing: "a fire dragon burning the granary"...

Goods produced in the East were shipped out in batches and stored in warehouses around the world before being transshipped or sold.

These items won't all be sold at once.

For example, 1,000 tons are delivered, 500 tons are sold, and then another 1,000 tons come in.

It's like having one outlet and one inlet, both open, so there's always water in the pool.

No one could tell that two ladles were scooped out of the pool.

Now, due to a patent infringement case, the water inlet has been shut off.

The water in the pool could only flow out and not in, which immediately gave them away.

This is called "a single move can affect the whole situation".

Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

We absolutely cannot investigate; if we do, we're all doomed.

All those dirty secrets that were hidden away will have to be brought to light.

What to do if the accounts don't match?

A few days ago, I was still looking for goods everywhere, trying to find out if there was any stock in other places to help out.

Unfortunately, the source has been completely cut off.

Not only have prices skyrocketed, but there are also very few suppliers willing to deliver, making it impossible to keep up with demand.

It wasn't just one or two people scooping water with ladles; everyone was doing it, but the accounts didn't match up. Where did all that stock come from?

These days we're completely out of options, so all we can do is burn, sink, fight, and... Damn it, where are the pirates in the Gulf of Aden?

"We originally estimated that their inventory could last for another six months, but now it seems that they won't even last three months, let alone six months," Old Zhou concluded after laughing enough.

Uncle Li laughed too, "We need to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't do anything like cross-licensing or secretly produce under a different brand."

"What will the factory do? They've lost a huge number of orders," someone else said.

"It's alright, it doesn't matter who we produce for," Old Zhou waved his hand. "We'll take care of the domestic orders first."

"We seized so much market share a few days ago. Let's coordinate and share some with other factories. They get the meat, but others get a sip of soup too," Uncle Li added.

Old Zhou then emphasized, "Let's not worry about foreign-owned factories for now. They're big companies, they don't care about paying a few more months' wages."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Uncle Li pointed at Old Zhou, "You old man, you're the worst one."

That's a matter of paying wages. Many factories can't be shut down. Once they're shut down, the cost of restarting them is enormous.

Some production lines become useless once they stop; if you want to restart them... just replace them with new ones.

As for whether they will look for alternative factories outside?
No one mentioned it.

What are you thinking? Where can you find a replacement factory? What do you mean by a complete industrial chain? What do you mean by industrial Cthulhu?

Outside? Just the fact that there's no power supply 24/7 is something few countries can manage, including developed countries in Europe and America.

There is no rival in sight.

After the routine briefing on recent news, the operations room returned to its intense work.

Before we knew it, it was late at night again.

The expert, who had previously been so trendy and witty, stretched and yawned widely.

"Xiao Luo is so much better. She's always stirring up trouble and making things so lively. It's a pity we still have to work overtime all night."

Another person laughed, "Don't even think about it. Little Luo's work is finished, but ours has only just begun. Just watch, it gets crazier and crazier as it goes on. We're definitely going to have a big one..."
-
As for why Luo Yihang keeps stirring up trouble?
It all started after that live stream.

The live stream indeed generated a huge response, with clips and videos flying everywhere.

It not only caused a great uproar in the country, but also flew overseas.

This caused so much trouble for the reviewers on overseas platforms that many of them resigned.

However, the focus is completely different domestically and internationally, like two completely different worlds.

Overseas, the focus is entirely on the first half.

[The tyrant is so handsome!]

The tyrant is approachable and unpretentious.

[A billionaire personally working in the fields: This is a testament to the advantages of our system]

I won't go into the details.

The nickname "Tyrant" was originally given to Luo Yihang by foreign media during the July 7th Incident, in an attempt to evoke public disgust towards him.

As a result, it has now become an honorific title for Luo Yihang, and he has been given an honorific name.

Just like how Chinese netizens affectionately call Luo Yihang a succubus.

The focus is more on "condemning" Luo Yihang, which is still about challenging the world order and resorting to the same old conspiracy theories—nothing new.

And condemnation of seed industry giants and the four major grain traders.

Food prices are soaring, people are starving despite living on farmland, and the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are even facing civil wars, lamenting their bloodshed and tears everywhere.

Insiders also shared their experiences, saying that good people couldn't get ahead in those companies; they were either suppressed or removed, while only those who went along with the corrupt practices could rise to the top.

Then a large group of "people" emerged to refute this, saying that Qingyin Agriculture was hypocritical, all fake, and that all Dongfang people were liars, blah blah blah.

This sparked wave after wave of verbal battles.

In academic circles, however, there was shock that Luo Yihang actually proposed that substances existing in nature cannot be patented, thus restricting himself?
Breeding 4.0, with over 10,000 patents—it's clearly a new wave of hegemony.

Hegemony, hegemony, how much money does that cost?

Don't be fooled by the fact that the profits published by the four major grain traders seem less than what you'd earn in a bank. Those in the know understand that these figures are misleading; the real profits they make are unimaginable.

Besides, is this about money?

It can be as large as a continent or as small as a country. Except for the East, it can be allowed to live or die as it pleases.

Power—can you just give it up like that?
Doubts, disbelief, and expectations have fueled a heated debate within academia.

But most people still have high hopes.

Although it's just a push, and it's just the opinion of one company in the East, it represents hope.

While it can't be said that it has torn down artificially created barriers to the development of agricultural technology in other countries,

At the very least, our country's natural resources won't be stolen and then patented to prevent their use.

They found a way to be self-reliant.

Self-reliance—what a wonderful phrase!

It seems simple, but most countries in the world desire it but cannot obtain it.

In an instant, countless praises rained down like snowflakes.

"Angels never boast about their achievements and good deeds because they feel they haven't done enough! But devils need to proclaim their nobility everywhere because they need lies to cover up their sins!"

True good deeds need no fanfare; they are like stars in the night sky, silently illuminating the path for others. Those actions that crave fame, however, are like fireworks—brilliant for a moment, but ultimately fading into silence.

Listen to how well you've said it.

In China, the same thing has been hotly debated and discussed extensively.

However, the main focus... let's put the big principles aside for now, what's the deal with the wolf tooth potato?

I want to see just how delicious a variety specifically bred for a snack can be.
