Chapter 987: You're Old and Wise
As a national leader, Chen Lao is usually very busy with opportunities. So even if Xiao Ping is Chen Lao's health care doctor, it is not that he can see him immediately if he wants to see him. Even if Xiao Ping thought that Chen Lao was checking his body as an excuse, he handed over the application to meet him, but he waited for several days and did not get a reply.
In the past few days, Xiao Ping can be said to have been living like a year, and he is really anxious to wait. You must know that the time of sowing in Ludao is very particular, if you miss the current sowing season, you will have to wait until the spring of next year, which is not a situation that Xiao Ping wants to see.
Just when Xiao Ping was about to lose his patience, Long Wu finally came to inform Chen Lao that he was free. This made him very happy, and he hurriedly drove to Zizhu Garden.
In fact, Chen Lao's so-called free time is just half an hour out of the rest time after lunch. Don't look at this short half an hour, it is already very impressive. Generally speaking, it is common for the people below to want to meet with Chen Lao alone, and wait for a few months after applying, but only have about ten minutes at the end. And Xiao Ping only took a few days to apply, and he got half an hour, in addition to having the identity of a health care doctor, Chen Lao's very good impression of him is the more critical reason.
Xiao Ping drove the pickup truck to Zizhuyuan, and several of Long Wu's subordinates in charge of security were very interested in the bags of things in the car. One of them motioned for Xiao Ping to open it for inspection, and after opening several bags in a row and finding that they were full of rice and wheat, the expressions on their faces became even more strange. Seriously, in their working life, they haven't seen anyone bring this grain to see Chen Lao.
Xiao Ping also saw the doubts of several people, but he didn't explain much, just said with a smile: "These are the big gifts I gave to Old Chen." Be careful not to confuse rice with wheat. ”
The staff member in charge nodded in understanding. Then he motioned for Xiao Ping to go in and see Old Chen.
Xiao Ping left the pickup truck in the parking lot near the gate of Zizhuyuan and went to the small building where Chen Lao lived under the guidance of a staff member. Wait for him to arrive. Chen Lao was already sitting under the wisteria trellis in front of the small building to enjoy the shade. He sat on a rattan chair and gently shook the big pu fan, holding the teapot and drinking herbal tea slowly, looking leisurely.
"Hello Mr. Chen. Xiao Ping greeted Chen Lao from afar, and said to him with a smile: "You always look very energetic, congratulations." ”
Since taking Xiao Ping's specially prepared health oral liquid, Chen Lao's self-feeling is getting better and better. However, Chen Lao's praise of Xiao Ping was okay, he just glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you want to say next that this is all the credit of you, a health care doctor?"
"How can that. Xiao Ping said modestly: "This is mainly because you are well-maintained and pay great attention to all aspects of diet and daily life. As for me......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ping smiled. Then he said a little embarrassedly: "I can't talk about the credit, at most it's just a little bit of hard work." ”
"Yo, now I'm humble. Chen Lao looked at Xiao Ping in surprise and said, "Not bad, there is progress!"
"You've won a prize. Since Chen Lao said that Xiao Ping was modest, he didn't want to be too proud, so he said politely: "I'll give you a pulse first." ”
This is the duty of a health care doctor, and Chen Lao will naturally not refuse. After waiting for Xiao Ping to finish taking the pulse, Old Chen asked him a little casually, "How is it?"
"Your old body is very good. Xiao Ping smiled and said: "This pulse is stable, powerful and not slippery, and many young people's pulses are not as good as yours." ”
Chen Lao had just done a full-body examination in the hospital a while ago with modern instruments. Western medicine also said that his physical indicators were normal, and he was healthier than many young people. So Xiao Ping's words didn't surprise Chen Lai too much, he took a sip of tea slowly, and then said lightly: "Just say anything clearly." Stop going around in circles with me. ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ping said to Chen Lao in surprise: "I just want to check your pulse today and check it, nothing else important!"
Chen Lao pointed at Xiao Ping with a pu fan and said, "Pretend." I don't know what to say about you, boy, if nothing else. Can you take the initiative to check my body?!"
I didn't expect Chen Lao to demolish himself so mercilessly, and Xiao Ping couldn't pretend anymore. Touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Old Chen, you are wise, in fact, I came today, I really have a small matter to trouble you." ”
Chen Lao had expected Xiao Ping to say this, so he glanced at him angrily and said, "Say, what is the matter?"
Xiao Ping smiled and said, "Do you remember what I told you last time about cultivating excellent grain varieties?"
Hearing Xiao Ping mention the grain seeds, Chen Lao also had some energy, and subconsciously sat up straight and asked him: "What, you have been successfully cultivated, and your actions are too fast, right?"
Of course, Xiao Ping would not say that this was the credit of the demon refining pot, but only explained to Chen Lao in a low-key manner: "Actually, I have been doing this work for several years, and I only saw some hope of success this year, so I will be cheeky to ask you for help." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even mention it to you. ”
Xiao Ping's cautious attitude made Chen Lao agree, and he nodded slowly: "Hmm...... It's really better to be careful about such a big thing. ”
Seeing that Chen Lao was satisfied with his approach, Xiao Ping hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Now that the first generation of grain has been harvested, didn't you say that you wanted to plant some yourself last time, so I brought some by the way." ”
"I brought some with me, so please check my pulse by the way. Chen Lao corrected Xiao Ping's statement, and then said with interest: "But since you brought it, then bring it to me to see." I'd like to know what kind of food you kid can cultivate. ”
Of course, Xiao Ping had no opinion, and immediately rushed back to his car with a staff member, and took a bag of rice and wheat to show Chen Lao.
Chen Lao asked Xiao Ping to open his pocket, grabbed a handful of grains and looked at them carefully, and then frowned slightly: "These grains don't seem to be special, no matter the size of the grains or the degree of fullness, they are not much different from ordinary grains!"
Xiao Ping knew that Chen Lao had also gone to the countryside and planted land before, and he also had some research on grain seeds, and these grain varieties were originally ordinary varieties, and they would definitely not be able to hide from his eyes. Therefore, Xiao Ping had already thought of his words about this, and immediately explained with a smile at this time: "Old Chen, these grains are cultivated by me with the latest biotechnology. You don't have to look ordinary on the outside, but the yield is definitely much higher than other grains, and the taste and texture are very good. ”
Zhilu said that Xiao Ping would not brag about this kind of thing, and hearing that he was so sure, Chen Lai was also interested, and immediately nodded: "Okay, since you said so, then I will try to plant it in Zizhu Garden." Xiao Li, if you go and get me the same amount of ordinary grains, let's do a comparative planting test to see if these grains can really increase the yield by two percent as Xiao Xiao said!"
Now that Chen Lao has spoken, this matter is naturally settled. One of his secretaries immediately went to buy common grain seeds as a control group for the trial planting. The meaning of Chen's old words is already very clear, as long as the grain varieties cultivated by Xiao Ping can really increase the yield by two percent, he will definitely try his best to support him in promoting it throughout the country.
After Secretary Li left, Chen Lao asked Xiao Ping unhurriedly: "Xiao Xiao, is that all the grain you have cultivated?"
"No, a thousand kilograms in total. Xiao Ping replied honestly: "I sowed two hundred kilograms of seeds in the seed base in Wuxi City, and you have about fifty kilograms here, and there are about seven hundred kilograms left." ”
Xiao Ping's words made Chen Lao's eyes light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are the rest of the seeds?"
I had long expected that Elder Chen would ask such a question, Xiao Ping replied with a smile: "I have brought the rest of the seeds, and they are all in my car." ”
Hearing Xiao Ping's answer, Chen Lao couldn't help laughing, pointed at him and shook his head: "You kid, did you guess that I would ask this question a long time ago, so you are ready?"
Xiao Ping didn't deny it, but just said: "The food problem is not a joke, so I think you will definitely not only adopt the trial seed data of one place, the wider the coverage, the better, so I simply brought all the seeds." ”
Xiao Ping was right. If the grain is to be replicated throughout the country, it must be demonstrated that there will be a general increase in production in climate-specific growing areas. Just looking at the situation of the few acres of land planted in Zizhu Garden, Chen Lao would not support Xiao Ping with confidence.
Chen Lao was deeply impressed by Xiao Ping's words, and nodded with satisfaction: "I'm very glad that you can have such an idea, okay, the seeds are left, and I will let people send them to all parts of the country as soon as possible to try planting." The trial planting site in the capital is in Zizhuyuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are in Wuxi City, and I will let people arrange them properly in other areas. ”
Xiao Ping knew that Old Chen was doing him a great favor by doing this. After all, with the current strength of the Xianhu Company, it is impossible to try to grow these grains across the country. Now that Chen Lao has come forward, he will be able to get the output data of various places next year, which will be of great help to the promotion of grain varieties in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping sincerely wanted to thank Elder Chen: "Then I will thank you first, Elder Chen." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first. Chen Lao waved his hand and said: "These grains are as good as you say, otherwise my old face will be lost by you, if that's the case...... Hmph!"
Knowing that Old Chen was motivating himself, Xiao Ping said confidently: "Don't worry, I will only earn face for you, and I will never let you lose face!"
While speaking, the staff had already unloaded all the grain seeds brought by Xiao Ping. Zhilu said that Chen Lao's time was precious, and Xiao Ping did not stay long, so he said a few words and left Zizhu Garden.
On the drive back to Sioux City, Xiao Ping received a call from Gulfstream that his custom-built private jet was finally completed. (To be continued......)
