17 Barn

Katie seems to be extra involved in her physical interaction with Lin Yilong in order to make up for the deficit in the previous six months.

By the time Lin Yilong sent Katie to the bedroom to bed and then left, it was already three o'clock in the morning when he returned to his house.

Even so, Sister Yeon still didn't sleep, waiting for him in the hallway.

"It's so late, you haven't rested yet?" Lin Yilong saw Nadia and Vera.

"I can't sleep a little. Nadia ignored the sleepy-eyed Vera beside her.

"Go back to sleep, I'm right here. Lin Yilong returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes, was hugged by the two sisters one by one, and fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Yilong was woken up by Fatima's phone ringing, all the saffron had been dried and sealed according to his request, and the petals were frozen and placed in the wooden box prepared by Lin Yilong.

The dried saffron stigma planted in the flower fields and yards of the Bracken Tree Farm weighs 10 kilograms, and up to 180 kilograms of petals are harvested. According to the ordinary selling price, just a dozen hectares of saffron can bring Lin Yilong a profit of 200,000 pounds.

According to Lin Yilong's request, Fatima filled Lin Yilong with more than 20 samples of small bottles in some leftovers, Lin Yilong took the whole 20 bottles, and gave the rest of the extra to Fatima.

Fatima immediately asked Lin Yilong to try it, and Lin Yilong paid Fatima an extra 200 pounds to buy lamb and other spices, and the right to eat the Bengali version of the working lunch for the entire forest farm.

This was about the first time that the planters, including the Yeang sisters, had tried South Asian evaporation, and the inhabitants of the alpine regions were clearly more interested in barley or barley rice than impatient with the long, thin South Asian long grain rice. Although it tasted good in Lin Yilong, they didn't like it very much, so they just barely ate it. But everyone admits that the part with saffron flavoring is much better than the part that is not added. Saffron neutralizes the smell of lamb meat and the saltiness of salt, making it sweet and delicious.

Although Fatima acknowledges that it is the smell of saffron, she still has reservations about the classification of the plantation plants in the flower beds of the Bracken Tree Farm.

After the meal, Fatima took advantage of Lin Yilong's visit to the barn where she had been working a few days ago to get spices, and asked Lin Yilong for bulbs that he had stored.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you these things. Lin Yilong said, "This is a plant endemic to our forest farm, and I have also signed a confidentiality agreement with the agricultural research institute that asked us to experiment, and I can't break it." ”

"Well, I'll be frank. Fatima began her speech, "I would like you to provide me with the contact information of that institute. ”

"No way. Lin Yilong shook his head, "Part of the confidentiality agreement, I can help you convey it." And you have to tell me, why do you want all this stuff. ”

"I hope to at least convince them not to put it on the market. "If this saffron were to be put on the market, it would inevitably hit me, my father and my fellow villagers." ”

"But don't you think that's a good thing. Lin Yilong asked, "This is the contribution of scientific progress to mankind, so that everyone can use saffron." ”

"It's a devastating blow to us, if we can really grow more saffron in the cold and high latitudes, it will inevitably cause the price to drop, and then we will be sacrificed. Fatima looked directly into Lin Yilong's eyes.

Lin Yilong seemed to be shocked by Fatima's eyes, and he slowly leaned back, staring at the gardener's scissors in Fatima's hand.

"But what does this have to do with you?" Lin Yilong asked, "After all, you won't return to your hometown, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"I came here with the high price of saffron, and my friendship with it is hard to let go. Fatima's tone became agitated, "So, can you .....?"

"Let me tell you what the hell is going to happen as someone who has come here, maybe you really don't quite understand. Lin Yilong smiled mockingly, "Do you think this is an ordinary discovery or experiment?"

"Yes, as long as we don't put this stuff on the market, we're safe. Fatima said.

"Of course not. This is not a simple business practice. Lin Yilong said, "First of all, the most direct perception is that this agricultural company will be affected by this, and the stock price will rise sharply;

"Secondly, the share price of the sales and support company related to this company will also rise;

"Thirdly, the stock prices of the existing producers who specialize in saffron spices will fall very badly;

"And then there's the impact on European farmers and other policy adjustments, like the Iran embargo or whatever, to your father and your hometown, which is only sixth or seventh. Lin Yilong opened his fingers and counted Fatima one by one, "Are you thinking about it, what will happen to the corporate debts of these companies, how can so many interests be entangled, how can they stop like this because of Fatima's will alone? Capital doesn't care about the life or death of your villagers." ”

"Besides, what if this thing isn't saffron?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "The agricultural company can say that they have found a plant that can replace saffron, and the effect is the same." Fatima and your folks alone can't stand up to powerful capital, and unfortunately, we live in such a world right now. This rule is not only to be observed by the propertied and rich, but also by the proletarians and the poor who are affected.

"Of course, there are exceptions to this thing, that is, when the interests of the majority are destroyed, are your folks and your interests the interests of the majority? Your little persistence is just touching and heroic, but if you don't have the consciousness to break your bones, don't say you want to change the status quo. ”

Fatima took two steps back, she was half frightened to death by the truth of the world revealed by Lin Yilong, threw down the gardener's scissors with aggressive intentions, sat in the corner of the barn, hugged her legs and cried.

Lin Yilong ignored Fatima, put the saffron and petals on the all-terrain vehicle, and drove out.

Closing the barn door, on the side of the barn, Lin Yilong blocked Nadia and Vera's escape path - the Yeon sisters have been eavesdropping on Lin Yilong since he entered the barn to talk to Fatima.

was caught by Lin Yilong again, and Nadia also began to pretend to be cute and stupid.

Lin Yilong eats the Yeang sisters very much, and it has become a common way to beg for mercy, and Lin Yilong will not have any other dissatisfaction except for "punishing" them in the bedroom.

"You guys. Lin Yilong shook his head, "It's really ...... to tell me that you can listen openly in the future."

"I thought you and Fatima. Nadia said pitifully.
