Chapter 48: The Story of Malt
sent away Widow Zhang and ushered in Zhang Er's lameness. This guy is a well-known second-rate son in the whole village, he doesn't do good things on weekdays, he doesn't do a lot of things like stealing chickens and dogs, and there are few people in the village who treat him! There were also some conflicts with Li Xiaogang's family in the past. Seeing him walk in, Li Ming and Bai Yun's faces sank.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, ......" At this time, Zhang Er's lame man no longer wanted to be as arrogant as before, but looked a little embarrassed.
Li Xiaogang understood his intention at a glance, turned his head out the window to think about his own affairs, and left him to Li Mingyun to deal with.
"Alas, second cripple, you have never disdained this door of my family, why did you ...... today" Bai Yun said sarcastically.
The second cripple was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly put the two bottles of wine in his hand on the kang, and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I used to be not a human being, I am here to make a compensation with you, I ......" can make the second cripple pay a no, and let the rooster lay an egg in Happy Village.
Li Ming knocked on the cigarette pouch and said: "You are here for the matter of wheat, you go back, I said that the whole village wants it, and the whole village wants it, and yours is also included!" Li Ming's words made the second cripple feel even more embarrassed.
I didn't say a word for a long time, and finally my heart was crossed, and I said: "Okay, big brother, sister-in-law, with your kindness today, if I do things that are not done by people in the future, you will break my legs." "Turn around and leave!
But he was stopped by Bai Yun, handed back the two bottles of wine he sent and said: "Brother, you better take this wine back, your eldest brother is not very good, you should keep it for yourself, you just need to have this distraction!" But remember in the future, don't always think about taking advantage of others when getting along with everyone. That's not good! β
"Hey, I wrote it down! But if I take this wine back again, will I still be human? After saying that, he walked out. Bai Yun took two bottles of wine and glanced at the silent Li Ming, and shook his head helplessly.
Happy Village saw the light of day, and the Li family became a big savior.
Under the scorching sun, families are happily harvesting the storm-battered wheat with the joy of the rest of their lives on their faces.
Li Ming and Bai Yun were also harvesting in their fields. Li Xiaogang did not come. Because since the day the village chief came, Li Xiaogang has begun to lose his mind from time to time, especially in the past few days, he has reached the unconscious Cheng DΓΉ. This made Gao Yuanyuan very worried.
Without Li Xiaogang's strong labor, the harvesting work became a huge challenge to Li Ming and Bai Yun.
However, the embarrassment did not stay on the faces of the two for long, and in just half an hour, dozens of enthusiastic villagers gathered in the Li family's field. Although Li Ming repeatedly asked them to finish harvesting their own wheat before coming to his aid, most of the villagers just smiled innocently and continued to wield the sickle in their hands.
In their hearts, these feats are really not worth mentioning compared to the Li family, and gratitude is the most basic advantage of these villagers.
In just over an hour, all the five acres of wheat planted by the Li family were harvested, and they were bundled and shipped back. As soon as I got home. What greeted him was Gao Yuanyuan, who had some loss on his face.
"What's wrong, Gao Yuanyuan, where is Xiao Gang?" Bai Yun asked while holding Gao Yuanyuan's hand.
Gao Yuanyuan shook his head helplessly and said, "He said that he was going to find something and would come back in a few days!" Bai Yun nodded and understood why Gao Yuanyuan was in a low mood, most likely because Li Xiaogang didn't take her there!
In the past few days, Li Xiaogang has been thinking about how to use these sprouts to obtain the highest profits.
Come to think of it, there are nothing more than three kinds, flour, making zuΓ² into maltose and making wine. If you make zuΓ² into flour. The profit he can obtain is the lowest of the three, and now it is a bumper harvest every year, and the most important thing is food. The price of flour will only go down, not up, unless you can make a special flour that tastes great, but it is not impossible but too difficult to make it with these sprout flours!
Maltose is good, but it's not easy to sell. What Li Xiaogang is most excited about is to use these sprouts to make a kind of superb grain wine that only exists in the legend, and it is best to use it to create a brand that is as brilliant as Wuliangye Group or even surpasses him!
Li Xiaogang was distracted from time to time, constantly searching for the memories left by Nuwa. Sure enough, in this huge memory, he found an interesting plant.
Nuwa gave it the name of Liquor Heart Grass. This grass looks like a normal weed. But after high-temperature cooking, a special liquid is released. This liquid was called koji by the ancients, and it is magical.
As long as a small amount of this liquid is mixed with grain crops, and simmered at high temperatures for a period of time, it can be squeezed into a refreshing wine, with few processes and extremely operant sound, the ancients could use it to make wine, let alone now!
But this kind of wine grass, after tens of millions of years, still exists, which draws a big question mark in Li Xiaogang's heart. So Li Xiaogang decided to go to Shennongjia to find out. As the world's best-preserved paleoecological site, this is Li Xiaogang's last hope.
Gao Yuanyuan clamored to go, but Li Xiaogang clearly knew the great danger of his trip, and finally did not hesitate to be angry to stop Gao Yuanyuan's willfulness, seeing Gao Yuanyuan's sad appearance really made Li Xiaogang feel distressed.
entrusted the acquisition to Li Ming and Bai Yun, and left them enough funds, Li Xiaogang quietly set off without having time to notify the second elder.
In the whole happy village, there was laughter, but the office of the provincial party committee was smoky and silent. Gao Liguo was extremely anxious at this time. This rainstorm came down. Tens of thousands of acres of wheat to be harvested have been reduced to nothing, and he, the provincial governor in charge of agriculture, is really under great pressure.
After taking a sip of his cigarette, Gao Liguo patted it and said: "What's the matter, is there any good plan, now the farmers can wait to see our actions!" β
Director Jia of the Food Department is a middle-aged man with a relatively rich body, his hair is combed and shiny, his eyes are big, probably caused by his habit of staring, and his lips are very thick, which makes him look more bureaucratic overall! I saw him muttering a few words and said, "This ...... It's going to rain, my mother is going to remarry, and this is not something we can stop! β
Gao Liguo snorted angrily: "Nonsense, if you could stop it from raining all day, you wouldn't be sitting here!" I'm asking you to come up with a plan to share the worries of the peasants, and your grain department has completed its grain collection task this year? β
Director Jia sneered: "In the past few years, there has been a bumper harvest, all over the country, and now the most is grain!" Therefore, this year's grain harvest index is much less than in previous years, and besides, we are harvesting grain, so what is the use of harvesting this sprout wheat? Isn't this a loss to the country? β
Gao Liguo glanced at him and said, "Oh, then according to what you say, it doesn't matter if the peasants suffer losses, right?" β
Director Jia shuddered, he knew this governor best, he was famous for caring for farmers, and if he was angry, he wouldn't be able to wear his own little shoes in the future.
Hurriedly said: "Of course not! The peasants are the foundation of the country, and the loss of the peasants is naturally also the loss of the country, but at the moment, the whole province is severely affected, and we are both willing and powerless! At most, we will buy the wheat that the farmers have grabbed back in time at a high price, and as for the sprouts, we really can't do anything! β
Gao Liguo turned his head to look at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, now that the peasants have arrived in this field, they can only rely on our government, if we don't stretch out our hand to pull them, how can they trust us in the future!"
Let me tell you, you don't know the peasants, you just have to lend a hand to them when they are in trouble, and they can give you their lives when you need them! Comrades, it is not easy for the peasants, all year round, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, working hard for a year, but when it comes to harvest, they are washed clean by a heavy rain, they are difficult enough, let's not stab them! β
After a pause, Gao Liguo looked at the silent officials around him, and said with a burst of disgust in his heart: "Starting tomorrow, I will personally lead everyone down to inspect and work on site!" All agricultural research departments and market departments should think carefully about how we can turn the sprouts in the hands of farmers into money! Not only do you not let the farmers suffer, but let them gain benefits! After three days, each department gave me a detailed plan, and I wanted to see it! Meeting! β
After Gao Liguo finished speaking, he ignored the wide-eyed officials and got up and left the conference room. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the bustling crowd outside, I thought about the old and young masters who might be crying, and I felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Xiaogang had already flown over Shennongjia, descended from the clouds, and floated in mid-air looking at this large green ocean, Li Xiaogang had never felt so strong, and it had continued its vitality for millions of years.
Falling to the ground and stepping on the fallen leaves like snow, a strong sense of familiarity swept over him.
Li Xiaogang was covered for a while, and involuntarily followed the trace of familiarity in his heart and walked forward. The more he walked, the stronger the intimacy in his heart, the stronger the intimacy, the faster his pace became, and in the end it turned into a wild run, shuttling through the forest like a ghost. When Li Xiaogang stopped, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In the depths of this dense forest, there is an incomparably exquisite small bamboo house.
The whole structure of the house is made of a kind of purple bamboo, and from a distance, you can still see a trace of purple air around the house, and suddenly there are no weeds and shrubs around the bamboo house.
Under the door frame in the center of the bamboo house, there were three flying and elegant words, and to Li Xiaogang's surprise, he unconsciously read out the Zizhu Pavilion!
"Is there anyone in the house?" Li Xiaogang asked respectfully. But for a long time, I didn't hear any sound from the house, on the contrary, the feeling of kinship became stronger! As if he was eagerly summoning Li Xiaogang in! (To be continued)
