Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 212 Hybrid Rice
"What should we do? Although the higher-ups finally agreed to our proposal and approved the veterans' enrollment and the establishment of a driver class, with so many students suddenly needing full-time study, where are we going to find enough food to feed so many mouths?"

In the world of Sijiu City, after a brief period of excitement, Lao Luo soon fell into an unsolvable problem again.

There is no food.

The world of Sijiucheng simply does not have that much food reserves to support so many full-time students.

The plan has not even started to be implemented, but it is stuck at the first step. What should I do?
Bai Ling, who was originally quite happy and felt that she could finally do something great for the world of Sijiu City, frowned slowly after hearing what Lao Luo said.

Her brain raced for a long time, but because a good cook cannot cook without rice, in the end, she still couldn't come up with any good solution.

I can only tentatively offer a stupid method that has been used many times over the years and is not a solution.

"How about trying to squeeze in somewhere else?"

This is similar to the saying, "Let the people suffer, and I will bear the blame."
"If you squeeze in, there will always be some."

In the long history of China that has lasted for more than 5000 years, history has proved the value of this sentence to us countless times.

To be frank, if we could really squeeze out enough food, we could solve the urgent problem at hand.

Even if you are criticized and misunderstood!

Lao Luo will never be vague, and he will never back down!
He is even more willing to take the lead and be the first to cut his own rations to help the world of Sijiu City overcome the current difficulties.

But there is no way. The world of Sijiu City is really left with nothing. Not even a drop can be squeezed out.

"Such a newly opened mine needs food to recruit workers to continue mining. The road leading to the Forty-Nine City also needs food to recruit workers to level and maintain it. There are also so many transportation personnel. People and horses need food, so food is needed everywhere!"

"These few items alone have almost completely depleted our already limited food supply. Even with this, we still have to squeeze out some food rations to support some students who are fully enrolled in school and to support industrial development!"

"If we keep squeezing like this, we won't be able to make it to next year's harvest, and we won't be able to survive this year! Tell me, where else can I squeeze in?"

In a word, the scale of the project was so huge that the city of Beijing, which had just emerged from the flames of war, could not bear such a large-scale construction.

But these projects cannot be stopped, what can we do?
"Could it really be delayed until the beginning of next spring?"

Thinking of this, Lao Luo and Bai Ling immediately fell into a dilemma again.

Hao Pingchuan, who had been staring at the side for a long time without saying a word, took advantage of the silence between the two and said something.

"Why don't you ask Brother Lang? Food is a big problem for us, but he has no shortage of it. Why don't you ask him to think of a solution?"

The two of them finally relaxed their frowns.

"Yes, we can ask Alang to help us think of a solution!"

But immediately, Bai Ling realized that something was wrong.

"That's not right. It's already the middle of the night! Why hasn't he come back yet?!"

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

As he was speaking, Ximen Lang, who had just taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, pushed the door open and walked in.

When he came in, he saw that everyone was really neatly arranged, and all their eyes were on him.

My heart skipped a beat.

But he didn't show it on his face.

He sat down among the crowd without hesitation, and started showing off to everyone with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Do you know what kind of generous treatment I secured for us? If I tell you, you'll be scared to death. You'll worship me in a moment!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ling, who was standing beside him with a listening expression.

Seeing that he didn't seem to notice anything unusual, I breathed a sigh of relief.

As he spoke, Ximen Lang reported today's achievements to everyone one by one.

The first is the issue of the 100-ton king and fuel.

"We don't need to worry about this at all. She's already thought of it for us. In just the next two days, both the trucks and fuel we urgently need will arrive one after another. There will be no delay in our progress."

"Even the professional books we need for driving lessons and vehicle maintenance are provided by them. We don't even have to worry about printing them; they take care of it all. Do you think they're thoughtful?"

"Thoughtful. Of course it's thoughtful, but we don't have that much money right now. Even if they can use minerals to offset it, it would be difficult for us to gather so many minerals in such a short time."

We've barely made up enough to buy all the various minerals from Liuye's production line, but suddenly there's this huge gap.
"This is indeed a difficult matter, but who can blame me for my reputation? Just one sentence, 'Give me some face.' She immediately relented and gave me this favor! Not only can she temporarily pay for the car and gas, but knowing that our agriculture is underdeveloped, she's also willing to sell us a batch of high-yield seeds at a bargain price! Look, how about my reputation, isn't it great?"

Lao Luo and his friends are worried about food.

When they heard that high-yield seeds were available for purchase, everyone immediately became excited.

He even sat up straighter, leaning forward and quietly waiting for what was to come.

But after waiting for a long time, I saw Ximen Lang was still immersed in his own world, showing off his face.

A deadpan sentence.
"Let's get down to business!"

Ximen Lang was so frightened that he shuddered.

Ximen Lang, who was so cocky just now, immediately became obedient.

I honestly began to introduce to them the most representative hybrid rice seeds among these high-yield seeds.

"Similar to the principle of grafting fruit trees, hybrid rice combines the advantages of both male and female parents to create a high-yield variety."

"How exactly we came up with this research is something that can't be explained in just a few words. We'll discuss it after the meeting."

"Let me give you a number. With proper care, hybrid rice can yield 1600 kilograms per mu! Even taking the average, you can harvest around 1200 kilograms per mu! In some areas with a suitable climate, it's even possible to harvest three crops a year!"

"How is it, is it fierce?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Luo and his friends, who had never dreamed that one acre of land could produce so much grain, were immediately furious!
"How much?! 1600 kilograms per mu?! And three crops a year?! Doesn't that mean one mu of land can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of grain a year?! Even if we conservatively estimate that we can only plant two crops a year and the management isn't that good, one mu of land should still produce at least 7000 kilograms of grain a year! 7000 kilograms of grain, am I dreaming?!"
