Volume 3 Chapter 4 Miscellaneous Matters That Must Be Dealt With
Coax Tia to sleep. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Sheng watched her figure disappear on the stairs, and the smile on her face slowly retracted. He reached for the cigarette case and opened it, and he took out half of the cigarette, but he put it back again. The cigarette box and the cigarettes inside were crumpled up by him and thrown into the trash.
Early the next morning, Li Sheng did not send Tia to school, but asked one of the security guards who could fly a helicopter to send her. He needs to clean up all the sweet potatoes in the field this morning.
When he arrived, he found that some sweet potatoes had been gnawed, and the ground still had the characteristic smell of catfish. Have you ever been here? It's a little too arrogant. It's 20 kilometers from the nearest forest. How did those guys get here?
But there were hills not far away, and he had to give up now. Not far away was a large bamboo forest that had grown, and if Xi Mao ran into it, he would not be able to find it for a while.
He could only endure the faint smell of the catkins and clean up the sweet potatoes that were still intact. It was a busy morning and finally all the sweet potatoes were cleaned up. He then drove a tractor to move the sweet potatoes back to the warehouse. Then he changed his clothes, went to school to pick up Tia, and asked Chi Xi to come to the house for dinner.
After eating, let the two children take a nap before flying them to school. This time he didn't go back directly, but flew to the Gilolo tribe in a plane.
On the farmland he had allocated to the Gilolo tribe, someone was working.
After his plane landed, a young man ran over. It was Cheng Dong. He is still Zhang Feng's assistant, but Li Sheng has put him in charge of teaching the Giloro people to farm. The previous Gilolo people only cultivated cassava, and the cultivation method was very backward, only digging a pit, then burying the cassava stalk, and waiting for the next year's harvest.
That's definitely not going to work. The cassava planted in that way may only have two or three cassava sticks at a time. And those cassava contain a certain toxicity, which is more troublesome to eat.
The current Jilolo people also grow cassava, but the sweet cassava that Li Sheng got back from the outside is detoxified and domesticated, so even if it is steamed and eaten directly, there is no need to worry about poisoning.
In addition to cassava, the Gilolo people also grow sweet potatoes and corn. These are relatively easy to grow, and if it were wheat and rice, they would not be able to be taught for a while.
Li Sheng saw that the area fenced off by wooden railings had been reclaimed for one-fifth, and the rest was used by Gilolo to raise chickens. He also saw pigs in it. Those pigs mainly eat wild grass. He looked and felt like a wild boar.
Cheng Dong ran over: "Boss, are you here?"
"Why are you here?" Li Sheng really didn't expect to see Cheng Dong here.
Cheng Dong said with a smile: "I think about the harvest on the farm, and it should be about the same on their side." None of them had grown sweet potatoes and corn before, so I'll take a look. ”
Li Sheng was very satisfied with his explanation: "I think they are harvesting now, how is the yield?"
"The yield of sweet potatoes is quite good, about a dozen acres were harvested yesterday, and it is estimated that the yield per mu is more than 6,000 catties. They won't be able to eat all the sweet potatoes for a while, so I wondered if I would teach them to slice and dry them. That will last a little longer. Yes or made into dried sweet potatoes. ”
Li Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, thoughtful." But you can communicate with them?"
"Hey, no. All I could do was signal them to see what we did. They're not stupid, and they understand it very quickly when we do it. ”
Li Sheng saw that some of the workers were working with the Gilolo people. He also saw that Cheng Dong's hands were covered with black patches, and knew that they were not just moving their mouths.
To such a worker, he wants to dye like. What the boss didn't expect, they already started to do. That's pretty good.
He looked at the cornfield next to the sweet potatoes and asked, "What about the yield of corn?"
"Boss, I have to say, the green manure you made is too good. Most of these corns can produce two cobs in one plant, and they are all plump. I guess the corn yields on both will definitely be unexpected. Not only here, but also those on our farm. I heard that it is more than twice as high as what we grow in our hometown. ”
Li Sheng didn't expect the green manure to work so well. However, there is not a lot of corn grown on the farm, and it is mainly intended to be used as feed for pigs. Now that the yield is high, it is just the right time to raise more pigs. Corn on the cob can also be used as a medium for mushrooms.
The area of land for the Jilolo people is 3,000 acres, which was specially set aside for them by Li Sheng. And there will only be so many in the future. After teaching them how to grow new varieties of food, he doesn't plan to give more support. For example, mechanization and the like, it is impossible. At most, give them some ploughing cattle. If they want to use mechanization, they need to pay for it themselves and learn it themselves.
He is not stingy, but if a people is domesticated, it will be difficult to continue to develop. He hopes that the Gilolo tribe will have its own momentum for development. If their cultivation level is sufficient, 3,000 acres of arable land is enough for them to feed more than 10,000 people. And if they want more than 10,000 people, maybe it will take decades.
After a few decades, they will not be able to use a means of livelihood other than agriculture, and Li Sheng will not be able to help them more.
He greeted Taclolo, who was busy with his work, and did not disturb them. He walked around the land, and Cheng Dong followed behind.
He saw cracks in the ridges of the sweet potato fields that had not yet been opened. Knowing that the sweet potato yield in these ridges is really good. The sweet potatoes he grows here are different from those he grows himself, and the main focus here is on yield, while he mainly pursues taste and nutrition there. Therefore, many of the sweet potatoes here can grow to a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and one or two catties is not a problem.
He walked to the ridge where the cassava was planted. If cassava is planted on a hillside, it does not need a ridge, but it is flat land, which is easy to accumulate water, and if there is a ridge, the survival rate of cassava is higher, and the broken soil can also make cassava grow bigger.
Cassava has a long growing season and the yield is not too high. But in South America, cassava is as important as corn in Central America. All the Indians in South America probably survived by eating cassava. Eating cassava is already a habit in the bones of the local aborigines, so Li Sheng specially got a sweet potato back for them to plant.
Cheng Dong looked at him as if he was very concerned about cassava, and said: "Boss, the yield of this cassava should be very good, we have sampled and pulled out a few roots, and on average, one can have seven or eight old elders." About 600 trees can be planted on one acre of land. This acre of land can harvest more than 1,000 catties. The Gilolo people saw that they almost had a bonfire during the day to celebrate. ”
Li Sheng laughed at what he said, and said: "There are so many cassavas, they may not be able to eat them all in a while, you can teach them to slice and dry." These cassava are not poisonous, and after drying, they can be ground into flour, which is more convenient to store and eat. ”
"Yes, boss. I'll teach them how to do it. ”
Li Sheng nodded, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Do a good job." ”
He said that he was a little happy to stay, and Cheng Dong was a little inexplicable. I went to talk to Taclolo again, and then flew to the management area.
Before he could reach Zhang Feng's office, he saw Babur coming out of Anthony's office.
"Hey, Lee. Are you okay? I haven't seen you in a week. "Babur took his men to train in the forest last week.
Li Sheng hugged him and said, "I'm afraid it's fine." It seems that you are also fine and did not meet the big cats. ”
"Big cats are also afraid of us. Babur smiled slightly, "You're looking for Zhang?"
"Yes, I have something I want to talk to him about. ”
"Well, I have something to tell you about too. ”
"What's the matter?"
Babur looked around and found no one else, and then said: "I just received news when I came back that there were some changes in the Bruno family some time ago, and many backbones died. Papalo has taken full control of the Bruno family and is taking a break from the [poison] trade. ”
Li Sheng's eyes lit up, and he chuckled: "This is good news, isn't it?
"The death of Pino Bruno has been closed by the police as a gang vendetta. ”
"That's good news, too!"
At first, let the dead leaf viper take action, and then kill the dead leaf viper. That's not just to eradicate the hidden danger of dead leaf vipers, but also to eradicate them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Li Gang and Clarkson kill the contact person who knew they had found the Withered Leaf Viper.
Now that the matter is settled, apart from the six people who acted on them, the only person who knows is the betrayer Papalo, and Li Sheng believes that he will not tell the truth. Otherwise, he might not have been able to save his life.
"Thank you for the nice news. Li Sheng said with a smile. "You're here?"
"The bullets were almost gone, so I asked Anthony to buy some back. I won't bother you anymore. Good bye. ”
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Goodbye." ”
He was about to walk to Zhang Feng's office, but the door of Anthony's office opened, and Feng Xiaoting called him at the door: "Mr. Li, please come here." ”
The whole farm, that's what he called Li Sheng. However, Li Sheng does not require everyone to call himself boss. When he heard this, he approached and asked, "You have something to do with me?"
"Yes. I'm going to buy a batch of small equipment and reagents to do experiments. Anthony disagrees. As soon as Li Sheng heard this, he knew that he was going to spend a lot of money this time.
He was a little upset about this, but he didn't show it, asking, "Oh, what are you going to buy?"
"Some dedicated micropipettes, some high-standard reagents for DNA analysis experiments. My test requirements are relatively high, the precision of the pipette I bought before is not high enough, and the reagent is not very suitable. ”
Li Sheng didn't understand any of this, and walked into Anthony's office with him.
Anthony was already standing, and when he saw him, he said, "Lee, you come and take a look at Feng's purchase list." ”
Li Sheng couldn't look at it, he just glanced at the content above and then fell on the total amount of the purchase, which was $1.3 million.
If it's just a small device, these things should be too expensive.
He looked at Feng Xiaoting and was about to speak, but the other party immediately said, "Mr. Li, you look at this amount first." The purchase price for small equipment is not very high. The main part of this money is the purchase of these reagents. This standard reagent can only be prepared by Harbin University in the United States, so the price is quite high. I wanted a comparison of the amounts, but that's because I did a lot of trials in the comparison group. He stressed. "Functional tests of gene segments require a lot of experimental comparisons before conclusions can be drawn. So I need a lot of reagents. ”
Li Sheng heard him say this, although he still felt a bit exaggerated. But he felt that he could still agree one last time. He signed it, handed it to Anthony, and said, "Just follow this purchase order and purchase the above things back as soon as possible." ”
