Chapter VIII Villagers' Congress
In the days that followed, Zhou Cheng did not go to the county seat, because he didn't have a dime, and he didn't know the road, he was sent back to the village after he fell unconscious, besides, he didn't have a means of transportation, these dozens of miles of mountain roads, he had to vomit blood and die when he walked to the county seat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past few days, while carefully observing the planted tomatoes, he ran to Wu Laojiu's house, Wu Laojiu is very majestic in the village, although some facial paralysis and indifference, but he is a good person, the most important thing is that he can rub cigarettes, Uncle Duan smoked dry tobacco, Zhou Cheng rubbed a few mouthfuls, and was almost choked and fainted.
To say that this improved tomato is really strange, this growth rate is enough to brush Zhou Cheng's eyeballs, and it begins to bear fruit on the fifth day, and the strangest thing is that this thing is like a strawberry, relying on the stolons on the ground to reproduce asexually.
It's only been five days now, and a second small seedling has branched out on the fork that sent out.
Zhou Cheng had planted strawberries before, and he almost unconsciously pressed the small seedling sprouts into the soil, if nothing else, at this rate, the second batch of tomatoes will grow in about three days!
Zhou Cheng muttered in his heart, the idlers who improved the tomato gene sequence are really idle to a new level, and even the breeding method of tomatoes has been changed.
This first batch only has a cluster of fruits, three, and they are only the size of a fist, it seems that it will not continue to be big, and it should be colored and red tomorrow Zhou Cheng was a little eager to taste it, but he still held back.
Unripe tomatoes contain solanine, not only bitter taste, but also poisoning if eaten more, and even life-threatening, Zhou Cheng is a student biological, this tomato gene has been modified so perfectly, but whether solanine exists or not, he is still not sure, so he decided to wait one more day.
The next day, Zhou Cheng got up early in the morning and slowly turned to the tomato seedlings, and sure enough, the small seedling sprouts inserted into the soil last night had taken root, not only that, but there were three small seedling sprouts next to it! The first batch of fruits also changed from dark green to bright green, and it is estimated that in a few hours, the color will change to bright white, pale yellow, pale pink and then red, and then ripen!
Zhou Chengcheng squatted like this, like looking at his own child, until there was a shout of 'tap and tap' outside.
"Village Chief Zhou, come and help!"
Zhou Cheng turned his head and saw that it was a few guys carrying Uncle Duan's coffin into the courtyard, Uncle Duan was at the front to give everyone a command, and it was the young man who carried the coffin who spoke, and it was also the big copper chain that embarrassed him that day, but the big copper chain seemed to be impressed by Zhou Cheng's personality charm, which would have already shouted out the village chief, and his attitude was much more respectful.
Zhou Cheng was more useful, and hurriedly agreed, everyone put the coffin away, Uncle Duan gave a few guys cigarettes, and everyone left, except for the big copper chain, he saw Zhou Cheng go to see the tomato again, scratched his head and squatted down.
"Village Chief, what are you looking at?"
"Tomato!"
"What's there to see about tomatoes?"
"This is the future of our village! You don't understand, why do you want to go! ”
"Oh!"
"Hey, wait, what's your name?"
"Report to the village chief, my name is Wang Gang, hehe......"
"Wang Gang? Well, okay, follow me to do a good job, and you will be replaced with a gold chain to wear in the future, throw away your copper, the copper oxide generated after copper oxidation, the generation of alkaline copper carbonate in a humid environment, excessive copper into the human body will affect the kidneys, increase the burden on the kidneys, and will also cause heavy metal poisoning due to the high copper content in the blood. ”
As soon as he heard that it would not work at night, Wang Gang was frightened and quickly ripped off the copper chain, his eyes full of convincing.
"Village chief, I'm really convinced, I don't understand a single word of the big list you just said, but it seems to make sense. I'll do it with you in the future, if you go out, the village chief, you must take me with you, I have a lot of acquaintances in Heishi County, and it's good to learn some knowledge with the village chief, and by the way, show my talent......"
"Anything else?"
Zhou Cheng's head was a little big, he couldn't imagine that this Wang Gang's eloquence was as good as Xiao Liu's, the nonsense was not over, and he hurriedly pulled up his face again, and he found that this Wang Gang really ate this set.
"Something! Brother Jiu, oh, it's Village Chief Wu, he asked me to bring you a message, at half past two in the afternoon, there will be a meeting at your homestead, don't be late. ”
"Where's my homestead?"
"It's right next to your field."
"Where's my responsibility?"
"Right next to your homestead......"
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of three tomatoes was finally ripe! The fist-sized, pink color with emerald green leaves makes people can't help but have an appetite, and they can't wait to take a bite.
Zhou Cheng is close to the water, the first to taste the tomatoes grown in this thousand oceans, the cold is sweet, the sweetness is mixed with aroma, there is a little more sourness in the aroma, after a bite open, the mouth is full of relish, the thick tomato juice goes down the throat, the stimulating taste buds are blooming, and even the intestinal peristalsis is a little faster, making people feel more hungry after eating.
After Zhou Cheng ate the whole tomato, he remembered that he hadn't observed it carefully, he just ate it, and even forgot to look at the tomato seeds, but judging from the juice dripping to the ground, the improved tomato should still have seeds, but the seeds seemed to have shrunk and were smaller than the seeds of ordinary tomatoes, but Zhou Cheng still decided to try it and understand it thoroughly before he was relieved.
He divided some seeds on the ground into two parts, one part was planted in the soil next to it, and the other part was soaked in clean water, which is called soaking seeds in warm soup, soaked for about two hours, and then changed to 55 degrees Celsius warm water to soak for four hours, constantly stirring to prevent scalding of the seeds, so as to prevent leaf mold, canker, early blight and other diseases.
After that, it is time to promote germination, first soak in warm water for 6-8 hours to make the seeds fully expand, and then place them at 25-28 degrees Celsius temperature for 2-3 days to sprout, and now this temperature is just right.
However, it was obviously too late to soak in the warm soup, it was almost half past two, Wang Gang had already come to find him for the second time, and Zhou Cheng went to his homestead with the remaining two tomatoes, which was originally reserved in the village.
It was divided by the family before, and the foundation was laid, and later the family moved back to their hometown, which can be regarded as withdrawing from Qili Village.
The foundation was rammed and sprinkled with several layers of lime, so that despite the ages, the top was smooth and dry. Only a few stubborn weeds grew in the crevices of the rammed earth, but now they were flattened by the villagers who had crowded into the meeting.
The homestead is not big, but compared with the three-room suite in the city, it is a lot, at least four or five hundred square meters, next to the homestead is about one acre of responsibility field, which was originally from this family, and then the people left, and other people in the village temporarily planted, and now there are still some vegetables planted in the field.
"Quiet!"
Seeing Zhou Cheng coming, Wu Laojiu roared with a cold face, and after everyone was quiet, he pointed at Zhou Cheng and continued.
"This is Zhou Cheng, the new village chief sent by the state to our Qili Village! Graduated from South China University of Technology! Ph.D. in Biology, Ph.D. in Physics!
The state has selected our village as a pilot village, which is the glory and pride of our village, and now we have sent a new village head.
I Wu Laojiu has nothing else to say, I hope that I will listen to the arrangement of Village Chief Zhou in the future, who dares to make trouble, don't blame me Wu Laojiu for not remembering the old feelings! ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Laojiu's eyes swept around, Wang Gang and the others hurriedly lowered their heads, and even Zhou Cheng's legs were weak unconsciously, he had a shadow on Wu Laojiu.
"Village Chief Zhou, please say a few words."
Wu Laojiu handed the right to speak to Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng snorted, looked at the somewhat serious venue, and thought that this is not good, it is better to liven up the atmosphere, and it is best to extend it to the theme of the meeting.
Thinking of this, he patted his head, and hurriedly took out a tomato from his pocket and handed it to Wu Laojiu.
"Village Chief Wu, you have worked hard, eat one?"
