Chapter 317: Strange Potatoes
In the summer of August, the sky is always so clear, the cloudless weather often flashes, and the blue sky always makes people feel a little solace in the hot and dry weather.
It's just that the sun that always hangs overhead is too much, spewing light and heat at the earth unscrupulously, ignoring the chatter and complaints of the people on the earth.
Fortunately, occasionally, perhaps the heavens heard people's complaints or prayers, and always waved a cloud over it, quickly blocking the entire sky, and then a gust of wind blew, and the raindrops of beans would fall overwhelmingly in the rolling thunder.
On rainy days in summer, thunder and lightning are indispensable. In the weather forecast, this kind of weather is called a thundershower, which means that not only thunder, but also a very short time. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the clouds cleared and the sun shone brightly.
Wang Yong is interested today, and the school is about to start, and he feels that he should care about the business operation of his family before the start of school.
I got up early in the morning, finished my breakfast under the strange gaze of Mrs. Ye, strode with my hands behind my back, walked out of the house with my head up, and went straight to the farm located in the north of the village.
Nowadays, there are very few real production tasks in the countryside, and most of this land is used to build various experimental fields, real rooms, and some are used to build houses and use them for office use.
When you leave the village, you can see several small buildings towering among greenhouses and fruit groves. The buildings are not high, and the tallest is only six floors, which is the headquarters building of the old Wang family.
It took more than ten minutes to walk along a two-lane cement road that had been repaired for several years, and under the sun overhead, Wang Yong sweated profusely and walked into the farm.
"Yo! Why is the young owner so idle today? Remembering to come to us for a walk? ”
Before he got close to the headquarters building, Wang Yong met a staff member wearing a white coat walking in the shade of a tree standing on the side of the road with a smile and teasing himself.
Wang Yong looked up. Immediately became angry. This person's name is Liu Limin, since he established a relationship with his second sister Liu Jie, he has been dealing with himself and Liu Bin's second brother-in-law everywhere.
"Oops! Isn't this the future second brother-in-law? What are you looking at? Why did you stay on the road? Didn't my second sister let you stand again? ”
Speaking of bickering, Wang Yong really didn't fear anyone except Liu Bin. It's just that many times he doesn't have this interest, and if he really wants to exert his full strength, even Liu Bin, the poor king, has to be worried.
Liu Limin, who was red-faced by Wang Yong's words, stood there and glared at Wang Yong, turned around and burrowed into the woods.
This is a pound of rowan trees from abroad, more than a dozen varieties from Russia, North Korea, the United States and northeast China, which have been planted here for more than three years. The tallest has grown to five or six meters tall.
"Why did you burrow into the grove without saying a word? Are you dating someone to do something bad? Be careful, I'll call my second sister and ask her to come over and catch the rape! ”
didn't get a response, this kid is like this, he knows that every time he fights, he always suffers a loss, but he just can't enjoy it, and he always has to joke with each other when they meet, and he feels comfortable after a few words of ridicule.
After a while, no one responded, and Wang Yong pouted. Shrouded in the shade of the trees, he walked towards the headquarters building that stood not far from the main entrance of the farm.
This is a six-story building that was only built last year. It covers an area of not much, only more than 3,000 square meters, and its appearance is extraordinarily ordinary, which does not match the scale of its own enterprise.
You must know that after the profits of all the enterprises in the family were summed up last year, it has exceeded one billion yuan! This is the size of today's private enterprise. Among the agriculture-related enterprises, there is no other than the hope group of Sichuan and Shu that can compete.
However, Hope Group is now also a variety of operations, and its main business is no longer the feed mill it was when it started. Their scope of business has involved education, real estate. Tourism, hospitality, manufacturing, construction, financial investment and many other fields.
Although it still has the largest feed mill in China, the main source of profits has long been not this one. Especially after the four brothers and sisters of the Liu family split up in 95.
Wang Yong's enterprises are different, their main business and the largest source of profits have always been agriculture, whether it is out-of-season vegetables, or a variety of high-quality new varieties of fruit trees, or a variety of livestock and poultry breeds can bring hundreds of millions of yuan of net profits to their families every year.
In the six-story building in front of him, agriculture-related management departments occupy a full four floors, and a large number of highly educated and high-ability newcomers have joined, which also makes Wang Yong more optimistic about the future of the family business.
Like his father Wang Hai, he has always been a staunch farmer and is very optimistic about the future development of agriculture. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking and merrymaking, eating is always the first priority, the first element of human survival.
It is not that agriculture is without a future for development, on the contrary, agriculture has a lot to offer. Especially in the deep processing industry of agricultural products, a simple example, ordinary fruits, after processing into juice or canned food for sale, the profit is several times or even dozens of times.
Relying on the importance of science and technology and scientific and technological workers, in recent years, the company has a large number of high-quality talents to join every year, and every year there are new achievements into the world's agricultural product market, and are well received and welcomed by consumers.
"Hey! Wang Yong? Why are you free to come here today? Rare guests! ”
As soon as he walked into the hall, he heard someone next to him teasing him, Wang Yong turned to look over, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Uncle Biao? Why are you here? ”
"Nonsense, why can't I be here? Lao Tzu is a shareholder here, what, do you, the major shareholder, plan to ban me from coming in? ”
"Ugh!" Wang Yong touched the back of his head and didn't know how to answer, and secretly pondered, he had almost never seen Uncle Biao recently, so there was nothing to provoke him?
"What are you doing stupidly? Just right, come with me to the experimental field to see our new varieties of potatoes, and give some advice to see if this thing has any problems. ”
After speaking, Liu Biao, who had already come to Wang Yong's side, couldn't help but take Wang Yong's arm and walked out. As soon as he came in and cooled off for a while, Wang Yong was dragged outside under the sun again.
"Today, the new varieties of potatoes in the field are going to be harvested, and I tell you, these potatoes are all new, and you have never seen them before."
"Isn't it a potato in particular? I know it without looking. At most, the color is different! What red heart potatoes, yellow potatoes, black potatoes, purple potatoes, are they all potatoes? ”
While speaking, Wang Yong walked out for more than ten meters before he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why didn't Uncle Biao keep up? Turning his head, Uncle Biao was standing not far behind him, looking at himself with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
Wang Yong's eyes rolled and he understood that he was hit by his own knowledge. In this year, in China, except for those who study potatoes professionally, I am afraid that it is difficult for the vast majority of people to imagine that potatoes can have so many colors.
"Hurry up! Aren't you hot under the sun? ”
"Oh, oh, here we go!"
Obviously. Liu Biao has not yet recovered from the battered state. These colorful potatoes are new varieties that have just been introduced from abroad this year, and he has seen them all once, and he was really surprised for a long time after seeing them.
I wanted to show off in front of Wang Yong just now, but I didn't expect that this kid would know so clearly? What the hell is his brain? What is in it, why doesn't it seem that he doesn't understand?
Wang Yong knew why Uncle Biao was shocked, and now in this year, the domestic Internet network has just begun to develop. They never imagined that they would learn the news after the Internet tide began in the future. How easy it is to search for information.
Thinking of this, he felt that he should say more, and let Uncle Biao know a little more, and he would be able to bluff people or something when promoting colorful potatoes in the future.
"The origin of the potato is Peru in South America, and according to research, it should be after the great geographical discovery. Those colonizers brought Europe from the local area, and then began to spread all over the world. ”
"It is for this reason that Peru is recognized as the land of potatoes in the world. There are more than 3,000 varieties of potatoes in a variety of colors. What white, red. Black, purple, speckled pink, etc., come in all shapes and sizes. ”
Peruvians' love for potatoes is absolutely unforgettable, and their ancestors believed that potatoes have magical powers, not only do people grow potatoes, eat potatoes, but also wipe their heads with washed potatoes, which are said to relieve headaches. What's more, potatoes are applied to broken bones, and it is said that they can cure broken bones!
If you are going far away, then potatoes are absolutely indispensable, not only as dry food, but also as a talisman. Because they believe that the magical potato can cure rheumatic diseases.
The most popular variety of potatoes in Peru is a potato that looks like ginger, and the locals call it Huairo, which means "egg yolk".
Don't look at it doesn't look very good, it looks very similar to ginger, and the surface is uneven. However, it is very popular in Peru, with excellent taste and high nutritional content, and is considered one of the national dishes of Peru and has been exported to many countries around the world.
Compared to the large, good-looking white potatoes grown in the West, this yellow potato has an ugly appearance, but it definitely tastes much better than white potatoes! In Peru, you can often see a lot of low hills, but don't be surprised, they are not hills, they are just potatoes stored by farmers.
The Peruvian way of storing potatoes is very simple: now dig a big hole in the ground, then put a layer of potatoes on top of the soil, and pile them up on top of each other to become a hill. It is said that with this method, potatoes can be stored for more than a year.
Peruvians love to grow potatoes and prefer to eat them, and to this day, potatoes are still a staple food for most Peruvians. There are more than 100 ways to eat potatoes alone.
What baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, hash browns, potato stewed chicken, etc., the most famous and well-known is a potato delicacy called "bachamanka".
Bachamanka, in the Indian language, means pot on the earth. Before making this dish, a large hole is dug in the ground, covered with clean pebbles, and grilled over a fire, and various meats and potatoes and other seasonings are placed on the stones.
Finally, after about two or three hours, you can climb through the dirt and leaves, and enjoy the dish. (To be continued.) )
ps: I've really been out of state lately, so that one thing after another has been making trouble, and I've been watching Anai's "Ode to Joy" for the past two days, and I'm so touched, and I feel like I'm the kind of Sister Fan whose heart is higher than the sky and whose life is thinner than paper, and then incarnated as Xiaoqiu, and occasionally became a hard-working Xiaoguan.
Recommend, especially the sisters and sisters floating in the field, compared to the old man in the house, I feel sad tears when I think about it!
