Without Longquan wine, Gu Feitian ate a few bites of food and said: "Such a good dish, without the accompaniment of wine, is really a big waste." Zhang Ziqiu said with a smile: "Didn't you say that your liver is not good and you can't drink?" ”

Gu Feitian said curtly: "My liver is very strange, as soon as he drinks good wine, he will be sick, but it is much easier to talk about the wine we brew ourselves!" Ziqiu, don't talk nonsense, go get it! ”

Then he turned his head to Li Xiaogang and smiled: "Don't look at us as a desert where there is no hair, but we produce one thing." ”

Zhang Ziqiu got up and went to get the wine, and Li Xiaogang asked with interest, "What is it?" ”

Gu Feitian touched it from his arms a few times, took out a few grass roots that looked like long whiskers, and said, "Bulb grass!" ”

"This ...... Is this grass? Li Xiaogang took the so-called bulb grass from his hand, and found that the root system of this bulb grass was unusually developed, and the layers seemed to be woven as if it was a big net.

At the top of the root system, there is a small green ball about the size of a ping-pong ball, which is supposed to be the aboveground part of the bulb grass.

Gu Feitian said slowly: "We are located in the desert here, and the most lacking thing is water, in order to absorb more water, these plants are desperately developing their own root systems, so that they can root deeper and closer to the groundwater!" ”

Li Xiaogang perked up and said: "Since the bulb grass can survive here, it means that there is indeed water under this desert!" Is that right? ”

Gu Feitian smiled: "That's nature!" It's just that the groundwater is stored in a very deep location, and you can see if you look at the root system. But what I'm going to tell you is not about water, but about the grassroots, can you take a bite and taste it? ”

Li Xiaogang pinched off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and as soon as he bit his teeth, a stream of sweet juice immediately flowed out. Diffuse between his teeth and lips, and he couldn't help but smile: "It's so sweet! There is also a faint scent of grass, but there is no trace of earthiness, which is really good! ”

Gu Feitian laughed and said, "You like it too, right?" This is our usual snack, and everyone has a few in their pockets. Take it and chew it when you're fine. However, the biggest benefit of this bulb grass is that it is used to make wine. ”

"Winemaking!? Can this be brewed? Zhou Zongnan is a senior botanist. I knew everything about this particular plant that grew deep in the desert, and even knew that it was edible, but I never thought of it. This can also be used for sake brewing! "What? You don't believe it? No, here we are! ”

Gu Feitian pointed to Zhang Ziqiu, who was hobbling over with a big wine jar, and said.

Zhang Ziqiu patted the wine jar in his hand and said: "I went to the cellar a few times, and found that two jars are delicious enough, one jar is here, and the other jar I let the comrades divide!" ”

Gu Feitian smiled and nodded. Then he opened the mud seal with one hand, and a rich aroma of wine came, Li Xiaogang frowned and said, "It's really wine!" It tastes pretty good! ”

Gu Feitian smiled: "Taste it first!" ”

After pouring a big bowl for everyone, Li Xiaogang picked up the wine bowl, looked at it carefully, and found that the wine made from bulb grass had a pure milky white, a bit like diluted milk.

Sniffed. The fragrance was strong, but it didn't last.

After drinking it all, Li Xiaogang felt more sweet, but the spicy wine was negligible, and the fragrance was also lacking. It doesn't feel like real wine, and it's more appropriate to say that it's a drink.

Seeing Li Xiaogang's brows slightly raised, Gu Feitian laughed and said: "This bulb grass is grass after all, the alcohol content is too small, but the sugar content is a lot, so the wine brewed here is more like a drink." But in this desert where there is no one to drink, it's already worth snickering, so you'll be fine! ”

"Wow, it tastes so good, it's so special!"

An exclamation came, and it turned out that Li Shuang couldn't help but be curious and took a sip secretly.

Seeing Li Shuang's satisfied expression, Qin Qin also took a sip of the wine bowl with some suspicion, and the next second he also admired it, and said in a loud voice: "It's really good, I've never drunk such a delicious drink." ”

Seeing Qin Qin and Li Shuang's very satisfied looks, Li Xiaogang's heart moved, and he was a little curious, if he added wine heart grass when making this wine, what would the result be? Although Longquan wine tastes very good, it is also very popular with consumers, and it has brought countless economic benefits to Longquan Group, but Longquan Group has always been troubled by the problem of single variety.

Li Xiaogang didn't want to increase the variety, but he didn't have good inspiration.

It would be nice if we could take the opportunity to create a drink that is loved all over the world.

After all, there seem to be more people who don't drink than people who drink.

Li Xiaogang asked Gu Feitian: "Brother Gu, is there a lot of bulbous grass like this?" ”

Zhou Zongnan smiled: "I can answer you with this!" Bulb grass is a common plant that lives in the desert, and if you are willing to look for it, it can be found everywhere. ”

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

Seeing Li Xiaogang's thoughtful look, Qin Qin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, what kind of ghost idea did you think of again?" Li Xiaogang glanced at her, stuffed the whole bulb grass into his mouth, chewed it fiercely, and said, "If you talk to me again, I will ignore you in the future!" ”

Qin Qin playfully stuck out her tongue and said loudly: "Hey, I was wrong!" Hey, can you forgive me? Hey, you die! ”

Li Xiaogang pursed his lips, his face was full of helplessness, but he couldn't stop laughing at Zhou Zongnan and Gu Feitian.

It doesn't matter if it's wine or a drink, as long as you treat it as wine, you can drink the taste of wine.

Everyone, you and I are very happy to drink a bowl. The atmosphere is also more lively.

Gu Feitian had completely let go of the last scruples, put his arm around Li Xiaogang's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Brother, tell Brother Gu, should you come to this desert where birds don't?" ”

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Sightseeing? Do you think I have such a good life? ”

"So what are you here for? And what did you say you were going to borrow from my prisoners? You mean, huh? Gu Feitian eagerly hugged Li Xiaogang and asked repeatedly.

Li Xiaogang said two words mysteriously: "Plant trees!" ”

"Plant trees!?" Gu Feitian was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I heard you right, right?" Are you going to plant trees in this desert? Don't you know that these sands under our feet are the most unforgiving, they only devour life, never give birth to life? If it's not that I'm crazy, then it must be you're crazy! ”

Li Xiaogang took a sip of wine and said, "The desert is ruthless, but people are affectionate!" Here, in this unforgiving desert beneath our feet, aren't there still men like you who live with affection? I was touched by your concern for your comrades and your love for the prisoners. I firmly believe that sentient people will conquer the unforgiving desert! ”

Gu Feitian smiled bitterly and said, "These are two different things. Is it useful to conquer the desert? That requires wisdom! ”

Li Xiaogang laughed and said: "We don't lack wisdom, come, let me reintroduce you to these friends of mine." Saying that, he pointed to Li Xiang and said: "This is a well-known professor at the Agricultural University of S Province, and he is now presiding over the operation of a scientific research institute. After speaking, he turned to Zhou Keqing and Zhou Zongnan and said: "These two, one is a national treasure professor of the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University, and the other is an authoritative botanical scholar of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they both enjoy a high reputation in the world. ”

After speaking, Li Xiaogang glanced at Li Shuang and Qin Qin, and said, "...... And so on."

Li Xiaogang's words made Li Shuang and Qin Qin very angry, and the two of them pinched Li Xiaogang's waist fiercely from left to right, and shouted angrily in unison: "Wait? Which of us is called wait? What do you mean, you look down on people so much? Li Xiaogang endured the pain and apologized repeatedly, which made the two girls let go of themselves.

Gu Feitian listened to the identities of these people, one by one, and was surprised in his heart, looked at Li Xiaogang and asked, "What about you, brother?" You're also a scientist? ”

Li Xiaogang said with some embarrassment: "It's really insulting for such a noble word of a scientist to fall on my head, I'm just a ......"

"A profiteer for profit!"

Qin Qin continued Li Xiaogang's words as if retaliating.

Li Xiaogang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You heard, I'm just a profiteer." "With scientific research strength and financial support, the team in front of me seems to be really here to conquer the desert.

Gu Feitian's heart perked up and asked, "So, what you said earlier is true?" Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, you really think we're here to play?" ”

Gu Feitian frowned and asked, "Is it really possible to plant trees in the desert here?" ”

Li Xiaogang nodded and said: "Now that the theoretical research has been completed, this time we are here to do it, so I hope that Big Brother Gu can support and help more!" ”

"Done! If you can really turn this endless desert into a green forest, I will do my best to help you! ”

Gu Feitian said with some excitement.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said: "Our purpose is not to turn this place into a forest, but to turn this place into the world's largest farming base, and make this the new granary of our country!" In a few years, when you look out the window again, you will no longer see a field of sand in the sky, but a field of grain swaying in the wind.

Golden wheat, green corn, soybeans, even grapes, orchards, and then you will be able to eat fresh vegetables every day, and you will never have to eat pickles again......"

Listening to Zhang Yue's description in his ear, Gu Feitian seemed to have been taken by Li Xiaogang to a wonderful, vibrant and beautiful place.

The scenery is picturesque, the people live a comfortable and relaxed life, and in the green grasslands, everyone sings and dances, and the sound of joyful laughter fills the sky over the vineyards.

Gu Feitian felt that he had a little, sinking into the bright future described by Li Xiaogang.

But will that day really come? Looking at Li Xiaogang's eyes that twinkled like stars, Gu Feitian said with determination in his heart: "Yes, there will definitely be that day!" (To be continued.) (。 ))
