During this year's Spring Festival, Wang Hai's family almost didn't have time to hang out with relatives. Wang Hai wanted to watch the big mess, and Wang Yong's mother also had to go to the farm to prepare three meals a day for the workers who still had to stay on duty during the Chinese New Year.

In this way, going to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings can only be Wang Yong, who is the elder brother, and Wang Liang, the younger brother, going door to door. But on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, he was also called away by a phone call.

The call was made by the farm attendant, it is said that the strawberries and watermelons planted in the greenhouse have problems, and my father Wang Hai is anxious to turn around, this is the New Year, it is not good to call Zhang Chunxiang who goes home for the New Year, right?

People can't go home a few times this year, and finally they can rest for a few days after the New Year, and they can't call people back because of this just the strawberries and watermelons they are trying to plant.

Wang Haidu has already made up his mind to give up these strawberries and watermelons that he tried to grow. It's been several times, but it's always unsuccessful because of one kind or another problem. Just don't get it. But at this moment, the attendant had an idea.

"Why don't you let your eldest son, Wang Yong, come over and take a look? Doesn't he usually follow Zhang Gong's ass around, maybe he knows what's going on? What if there is still salvation? This is all Zhang Gong's hard work! ”

"Good! Yes! Hurry up, call now! Let me get that bunny over here! Wang Hai shouted impatiently, stopped spinning, stretched out his hand and wanted to grab the phone and call his son in person, but unfortunately he was preempted by the attendant who always wanted to make a fresh call.

Wang Hai felt that time passed too slowly, and he had never realized that time passed so slowly. Just when he ran to the door for the sixth time, he finally saw the figure of his eldest son Wang Yong.

"You're here, didn't you hurry? Why did it take so long to come? Why are you going? Wang Hai was really anxious, and he came up and yelled at his eldest son Wang Yong.

Wang Yong didn't care at all about his father's roar, glanced at his father in surprise with slanted eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed back, then tilted his body and walked into the farm from Wang Hai's side.

Forty or fifty meters behind him, Wang Liang was wearing a down jacket he bought a year ago, pedaling small leather shoes, playing while walking, walking and stopping for three minutes and walking slowly.

As soon as Wang Hai saw the appearance of his youngest son, he knew that it must be this kid who dragged down his eldest son, otherwise he would have said like this, with Wang Yong's speed, no matter how slow it was, it wouldn't take half an hour?

Wang Hai, who was worried about the strawberries and watermelons in the greenhouse, didn't think about anything else, and quickly turned around and chased after his eldest son. The top priority is to hurry up and see if Wang Yong has a way, otherwise this trial may be over again, and Lao Zhang will have to be uncomfortable for a while.

I tried to plant twice before and it didn't work, and it fell after flowering, but this time it was good, and I finally saw the little strawberries and small watermelons. But Zhang Chunxiang has only been home for the New Year for a few days? The strawberries and watermelons in this greenhouse are disobedient, and now seeing them rotten one by one, Wang Hai is also distressed!

This thing is in the middle of winter, and it's an absolute rarity. Needless to say, anyone can think of the huge business value here.

Sell for a sky-high price, no one will be surprised!

When Wang Hai arrived at the greenhouse to try to grow strawberries and watermelons, Wang Yong was already inside. As he looked along the ditch, he asked the villagers in charge of the greenhouse's care about the last few days.

"Well, it's okay, third uncle. It's not a big deal, it's not like you don't know, it's not worked out twice. Maybe something went wrong, but it definitely has nothing to do with you. ”

Wang Yong comforted Xu Zhenguo, the third uncle who felt that it was his own problems that led to the current situation. There's no way, there are only a few people in the village, and no matter where they come from, they can be related to each other.

This Xu Zhenguo is a rare surname in the village, and there are only two families in total, which is the surname with the smallest number in the village.

However, after Xu Zhenguo graduated from junior high school, he worked in a factory outside for a while. I didn't go out until I got married, guarding my wife and children, and living on the few acres of land at home.

When Lao Wang's farm was looking for someone, he was the first to sign up. Wang Hai saw that he had worked outside, had seen the world, and had graduated from junior high school, and his knowledge and experience in all aspects were much stronger than those of others who had been nesting in the village, so he directly designated him to follow Zhang Chunxiang to help him deal with some things, and also learn some greenhouse planting techniques.

It can be said that he is Zhang Chunxiang's assistant or secretary, and because of his proximity to the water, his skills are undoubtedly the best on the farm except for Lao Zhang. Because of this, when Zhang Chunxiang went home for the New Year, the matter of taking care of this greenhouse could fall to him as a matter of course.

After comforting Xu Zhenguo, Wang Yong lowered his head again and carefully inspected the flourishing plants. Just looking at these seedlings, I can't believe that almost all of those little watermelons will melt!

Melt, that's a proper noun! It means that after the watermelon or other melons and fruits bear fruit, for some reason, they no longer grow but slowly rot, and finally disappear without a trace.

It is precisely because of this that the common people have given this situation a figurative term -- to melt away. It's like ice turns into water in the sun and disappears.

"Is there any disease or infection with any germs?" Wang Yong muttered, it was really his complete duck to put this thing on the shelves, with big cloves of garlic. He has never grown watermelons, so where do he understand these professional things.

Xu Zhenguo, who was following him closely, heard him say this, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Impossible, the fungicide that Zhang Gong just took when he left, besides, I've seen it all, it doesn't look like a bacterial infection?" It seems to be stunted, and when it grows to a certain extent, it doesn't grow at all. ”

"That means a lack of nutrition?"

"That's even more impossible, if you look at these branches and leaves, all of them are green, where can you see that there is a lack of nutrition? Besides, the watermelon is okay to say, you look at the strawberries here, one by one crooked melons and cracked dates, it looks terrible, if it really comes to the market, who will buy such strawberries? ”

Wang Yong turned his head to look at the strawberry on the other side, and his mouth grinned. Sure enough, as Xu Zhenguo said, it is really ugly! If you look at it, there are already a lot of strawberries that have turned red, and six or seven out of ten are deformed fruits.

There was one that grew together and split in the middle; Some look like cracked chestnuts, and some look as flat as Zhang Cake, and the most terrifying thing is that there is one, Wang Yong saw it very clearly, and there were three "little feet"?

If you don't know the situation, let alone eat such a strawberry, it feels terrifying at a glance. But Wang Yong knows that this is nothing for planting strawberries out of season, and it is a very normal situation.

In general, strawberries have a lot of deformed fruits, and the main reason is insufficient pollination. There are many reasons for insufficient pollination, such as insects, low temperatures, environmental factors, and the use of hormones such as bulking agents.

Looking at the current situation, Wang Yong estimates that the majority of this strawberry deformed fruit is probably caused by insufficient pollination. Instead of using bee pollination, which was commonly used in later generations, the method was completely artificial, and because of the lack of experience, it was easy to cause insufficient pollination.

A person takes a cotton swab, dips it on one flower, and then touches the other, thus completing the artificial pollination of a flower. It can be said that compared with bee pollination, the quality of artificial pollination is not easy to guarantee.

"I think it's a lack of pollination."

"Well, that's what I thought too. In the first two times, Zhang Gong had conjectures in this regard, saying that there might be a phenomenon of insufficient pollination leading to more deformed fruits. Xu Zhenguo nodded and agreed with Wang Yong's statement.

"This is easy to solve, but it really can't work, let's buy a few boxes of bees and put them in it, so that they can replace manual pollination, which will definitely reduce the occurrence of deformed fruits."

Wang Yong said to himself, while turning around and continuing to study the cause of the watermelon falling fruit, leaving Xu Zhenguo, who was stunned, still thinking about the possibility of using bees to pollinate in the greenhouse.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Yong, who didn't see anything, lowered his head and walked out of the greenhouse, came to his father's office, picked up the phone, thought for a while, put it down again, opened the drawer of his father's desk, and found a notebook.

This book contains the mailing addresses and contact numbers of many agricultural experts and professors who came here some time ago, both at school and at home. Those old experts are enthusiastic! The enthusiastic Wang Hai was a little overwhelmed.

After turning a few pages, Wang Yong successfully found a person's name, followed by a mailing address and phone number at home and school.

Liu Ziyun, a well-known watermelon breeding and planting expert in China, is the inventor of the famous No. 3 watermelon. In North China, melon farmers all know a saying, when planting watermelons, they look for Liu Ziyun.

**No. 3 watermelon has stable hereditary, consistent shape, high sugar content, bright red melon, crispy and sandy flesh, juicy, delicious flavor and strong resistance. After community tests and production trials, as early as 1983, "**3" officially passed the appraisal.

After nearly 20 years, under his promotion, ** No. 3 swept the land of North China, whether it is in the countryside or the city everywhere can be seen in its figure, is currently the most popular watermelon variety in the northern region.

The watermelon in the greenhouse is planted with **No. 3, but it is planted out of season. Just because this is the first time that No. 3 has used greenhouses for off-season planting, the old gentleman who learned the news has a tired journey despite his advanced age and fatigue, and some time ago he personally came over to inspect and guide on the spot, and instructed Zhang Chunxiang to report the planting and growth situation to him in real time.

Now, when there is a problem with the planting, Wang Yong's first thought is the respectable and admirable old man who wears a pair of glasses, is elegant and elegant, but has tanned skin because he often has to go to the countryside to work in the field, and he dresses more like a farmer than a scientist.

"Grandpa Liu? I'm Wang Yong! ”

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the watermelon? Before Wang Yong could say anything, the old man on the other side hurriedly asked as if he had a premonition.

"Well, a lot of fruit is deformed, and a lot of it has melted. I thought about it, the deformity may be caused by insufficient pollination, but the cause of this fruit loss, we pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out what the cause was, so we had to call you to help analyze it. ”

Wang Yong didn't have inkblot anything, he knew that he didn't need to be polite to talk to this kind of real scientists who had not been polished by the commodity society, what they cared about most was technology, and it was their technology that could make the people get benefits.

"Huh? How is the temperature controlled? ”

"The temperature is fine, I looked at the records of the past few days, and it has always been above twenty degrees."

"How do the seedlings grow? Is it thriving? ”

"Well, exuberant. But the seedlings don't bear fruit! ”

"Oh, then I guess it's caused by poor management of the flowering period. During the flowering period, the temperature is higher than 35 degrees or lower than 15 degrees, and watering or rainy weather during the flowering period will affect pollination and melon setting. ”

Wang Yong thought of the pollination period seen in the record book, as if they had watered more than once, and each time it was flooded. It seems that this expert is not an all-rounder! Uncle Zhang is a good hand at growing vegetables, but he is too bad when he grows watermelons.

"Oh! That's it! They have indeed watered. What about the melon that can't sit still? What is the reason for that? Wang Yong asked the biggest problem facing these watermelon fields today.

It's okay to talk about other problems, no matter how you say it, you can guess what the problem is, and you can make targeted measures next time. But this is the result, he has never understood this kind of thing, huh?

"There are many reasons for this, as I just said, the flowering period is cloudy and rainy. No, there should be no need to consider this situation in the greenhouse, let's put it another way, that is, the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are large, and the slightest carelessness in management will cause the plants to grow wildly, which will cause flowers and fruits to fall. ”

Wang Yong listened carefully, and waited for the following, when he heard the old man on the other end of the phone seem to shout to someone: "Pack my luggage, I'm going to Hong Kong City!" ”

Wang Yong fainted directly!

It's the time for the Chinese New Year, okay? The second day of the Lunar New Year! What is your old man going to make trouble about? Are you so willful, do your wife and children agree?

In fact, Wang Yong also understood in his heart that the old man was worried that he couldn't understand it on the phone, couldn't say it clearly, and how could he rest assured if he didn't take a look at it in person on the spot?

But it's only the second day of the Lunar New Year, what should I do if you do this? Don't be blamed to death by your family!

It's a pity that Wang Yong was wrong.

After waiting for a long time, no one answered the other end of the phone, so I listened to the sound of chaotic footsteps inside. Needless to say, the old man went to pack his luggage himself.

Just when Wang Yong was about to put down the phone, and then called again to persuade the old man not to be at this time and let him come back for a few days, someone on the other end of the phone spoke.

"Hello? Feed? Is anyone listening? ”

"Ahh In, in! ”

"You're Wang Yong, right? That little prodigy? I've heard my dad talk about you, and you're listening, the old man is packing up! There is a passing bus into Beijing tonight, I have booked the tickets, and I will arrive in Hong Kong City at about seven o'clock tomorrow morning, you have to send someone to pick up my dad, no problem, right? ”

"No problem, no problem. No, no. This is the New Year, why don't you persuade the old man, we are not in a hurry, anyway, it's like this, how can we let the old man come over after the New Year! ”

"It's okay, our family is used to it. My dad is like this, when he encounters something related to his watermelon, no knife in the world can stop him. Okay, you just remember to send someone to pick up the station, my brother went with him, you just arrange accommodation, and you don't need to be special in terms of food. ”

"Okay, okay!" What else can Wang Yong say? The family members have booked all the tickets. But you can book a ticket so quickly, it seems that the old man's son is not too young!

Thank you very much for the continuous starting point coin reward of the book friend A19951014 and other friends in the past few days, thank you, the two-in-one chapter is sent, thank you again for your support and love!
