Chapter Ninety-Nine: Watermelon Seeds
Xu Xiaoyan absentmindedly finished saying that the watermelon was so big, took a bite of the watermelon, paused for a moment, and then continued to eat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Fei understood her movements, because this watermelon was too far from the watermelon they usually ate!
Can the watermelons grown in the greenhouse be compared with the islands with sufficient sunlight and suitable temperature? Whether it is taste or sweetness, it is not a grade at all.
Although the girl didn't show it too obviously, the two old men, well, the two professors still found out.
Even if this watermelon is just an internship for the students, it is a carefully selected variety. Even if it is grown in a greenhouse, at least, it is a first-class watermelon.
Inevitably, these two old men felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Girl, you are so obvious, are these students we taught, and the watermelons you grow, really so different from what you used to eat?
Professor Qi didn't say anything, but Old Man He couldn't help it: "This classmate, have you ever eaten a bigger and sweeter watermelon than this?"
How obvious, only those who regularly eat bigger and sweeter watermelons will be dismissive of their watermelons.
Xu Xiaoyan finally knew that something was wrong this time, as if she was acting too obviously. She was still thinking about how to answer this question! When she heard Yan Fei speak, "I have eaten, we eat every day when we are at home." ”
Without waiting for the two to ask, Yan Fei continued: "I knew an old man when I was a child and had been growing melons for decades. His watermelon is bigger and sweeter than that. ”
Old man He was surprised: "Really, what kind of watermelon did he grow?"
Yan Fei looked confused: "It's our local watermelon! He said that growing watermelons is actually very simple. It is to choose the biggest and most delicious watermelon every year to be left as a seed, and it goes on like this every year, and after a long time, the largest and most delicious watermelon will be better than the previous year. Anyway, their family has always planted it like this, and now even his generation has been planting it for decades. Any watermelon you grow is bigger and sweeter than someone else's. ”
Miss Xu Xiaoyan is used to Yan Fei's nonsense, anyway, what he says, naturally he has his reasons, she will not debunk herself, she never knew that Yan Fei still knew an old man who planted melons.
The two professors were irrefutable when they heard this, after all, what Yan Fei said in his mouth was that his ancestors didn't know how many years they had been planting, and it was understandable that they could cultivate such watermelon seeds. Old man He also asked with some disbelief: "He grows melons so well, why hasn't anyone ever heard of it?"
Yan Fei expressed disdain: "It's not that growing grain yields hundreds of catties more, who pays attention to this! Anyway, it's delicious." ”
Indeed, even if you grow three hundred pounds of watermelon this year, everyone will praise a few words when you eat it at most, and then pass it on as a strange story for a few days, at most there are people who love to eat melons and ask a few more words about how this is grown, as for the rest, everyone really doesn't care.
Old man He was very depressed: "Then can we go and meet him? If such a seed is promoted, you can also understand the meaning." You also know that we grow watermelons every year, which is also a great thing for melon farmers. You can rest assured, our two old men will not take advantage of him, and when the time comes, the seeds will be promoted, whether it is fame or fortune, it will still be his. ”
"Alas!" Yan Fei sighed faintly. "It's late, the old man died a few days ago. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoyan almost covered her mouth and snickered, Professor Qi looked unbelieving, and Old Man He was also suspicious.
But Yan Fei didn't care what their expressions were, anyway, there was no proof of death, who could do anything? I'll bring you some next time, if you want. ”
When Xu Xiaoyan heard him say this, she actually believed his previous nonsense, and said in surprise: "Ah? No wonder you used to eat watermelons and put away watermelon seeds, I thought you were going to fry and eat it, it turns out that this watermelon still has a history!"
"Uh-huh!" this girl was really cooperative, Yan Fei nodded with satisfaction. "The old man is dead, we don't have a good watermelon to eat, and we are going to grow some watermelons ourselves next year, so that we don't have to eat in the future." ”
When the two old men heard that there was a seed, their disappointment turned into surprise.
Although one of them studied the land and the other studied wheat, it was the same whether it was wheat, watermelon or even cabbage and radish. As long as high-yield seeds can be cultivated and popularized, we will not talk about anything that benefits the country and the people, at least it will be a great thing for the farmers who grow these crops.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in this province, the area of watermelons planted every year is hundreds of thousands of acres, and sometimes even millions of acres. And this number will definitely increase as everyone's life gets better and better.
As long as you do the math casually, you will know that the yield per mu will increase by a few hundred catties, what kind of concept is that? As for whether what Yan Fei said is true or false, does it still matter? Anyway, he promised the seeds.
Old man He nodded again and again: "Yes, as long as it is really as good as you say, why not? As long as this kind of seed is cultivated, the naming rights can be given to you, and the benefits you deserve are absolutely indispensable, and the two of us can still guarantee this. ”
Professor Qi also nodded: "Seed cultivation is like this, and it is of course good to have high-yield seeds." What conditions do you have?"
"Forget about the benefits. "Yan Fei is very generous, you are high-spirited, and we are not self-cherishing people. "I'll bring you the seed when I get back. But watermelons are also quite evil, and they don't grow the same piece of land in the same way! I will continue to plant them in the future, and if the seeds brought here are not as big as I planted, then don't blame me. At most, if you want seeds, I'll keep sending them to you. ”
There are a lot of watermelons on Caiyuan Island, and now the season is not right, and it is far from the time when people have watermelons to eat all year round, so he can only eat those watermelons by himself, and at most secretly give them to his daughter-in-law. As soon as there are many things, it is not uncommon.
It's that the climate of the land outside is definitely not as good as the vegetable garden island, and it is impossible to say how bad it is, so I will give the two old men a preventive shot first.
Besides, what Old Man He said just now also makes sense, take out the seeds, in case the cultivation is successfully promoted, this is a great thing. I don't want money for things, I can do something good, why not? As for the benefits or something, it really doesn't matter, everything is a gain or loss, annoying!
What's more, this Professor Qi has spoken, we still owe two favors to others!
However, he was also quite interested in what the naming right was, and asked with great interest: "The watermelon seeds have been cultivated, can you let me name it, is it that so-and-so No. 1 and No. 2?"
