Chapter 110: Old Lu's Experimental Field
Lu Xiancheng now has money, so the things that can be done with money are naturally no longer a problem, let alone two rooms or something. Since Zhang Qiang took Lu Xiancheng to a high-end party, and met Gu Yubin, a hermit in the south of the country, Lu Xiancheng has become more and more looking forward to his future life.
Although he can't stay in the deep mountains and old forests, it doesn't prevent Lao Lu from enjoying this kind of life, even if he can't reach the realm of being happy with suffering, Lu Xiancheng can also seek a little leisure.
Lu Xiancheng's method is also very simple, directly make a small piece of land on the ground of Shicheng Ranch, build a house on it, and then make a small courtyard and a vegetable garden in the yard. Just prepare to experience the leisurely life of sunrise and sunset.
Once the enthusiasm is burned, Lao Lu will not give up because he has to spend a little money. It took only three days to design a small 'experimental' courtyard for himself, and then with a wave of his hand, he directly found someone to open the cover, and he was preparing for the first year of university exams.
Waiting for the exam to be over, the money is enough, the small courtyard including the building has been completed smoothly, and some simple facilities have also been installed in place at the same time, with the weather in Shicheng, it will only take a month at most, and Lu Xiancheng can live in his own small courtyard.
Lu Xiancheng was very satisfied with the speed of the construction team, and the 'experimental courtyard' was very in line with Lu Xiancheng's standards.
All that's left is to go home while waiting for the house to dry up so that you can move in, and as for this summer, there is the most important thing, that is, her sister Lu Muzhi is going to college.
After returning home after the exam, Lu Xiancheng said goodbye to his parents and prepared to visit his ranch in the countryside.
Regarding Lu Xiancheng's affairs, now Lu Xingguo and Lu Xinghua brothers don't ask, because they find that they can't keep up with their son's (nephew's) thinking no matter how they play. simply didn't ask anything about how Lu Xiancheng tossed around.
Lu Yao, who rejected Lu Xiancheng's invitation a few months ago, now only took a phone call to accept Lu Xiancheng's job offer. The reason is simple, he hasn't received a penny of his salary for more than a month. Lao Lu accepted the job without even putting a phone call.
went to the ranch, Lu Xiancheng took Lu Yao to drive the car with him, and went to the ranch early in the morning.
There is almost nothing in the current Pglinton (China) pasture, and the grass has not yet been studied. All you can see is the bare mountains and the yellow sand that is bare in sight.
If you want to talk about buildings, there are a few more, close to the lake of Youjiawa, and across the small lake from Youjiawa are the research points of two professors, Wen Jifeng and Xu Guanping, and there are so many traphouses.
The work of several wooden houses and dormitories is almost put together, and as for its crowding, it is not something that Lu Xiancheng should consider. These are all made by the two professors themselves, Lao Lu just borrowed funds, how to spend as long as there is an account, it is the business of the two old men, if Lao Lu is left, it will be distributed by the two of them.
After enduring the short horse carrying himself for two and a half hours, Lu Xiancheng was a little exhausted. before climbing to the top of the hill.
Lu Yaozhi is quite energetic, but following Lu Xiancheng all the way is a little uncertain about his future work, and he always feels that what kind of ranch he runs here may make him unemployed at any time.
Sitting on horseback, he shook slightly and said to his employer, "This place is too remote!" ”。
"Isn't it good to be remote?" Lu Xiancheng had just passed the hill here, and at a glance he saw several buildings with white wooden boards and blue color steel tiles opposite Youjiawa, and his spirit couldn't help but be lifted.
With Lu Yao's intelligence, it is difficult to understand Lu Xiancheng's thoughts, not to mention Lu Yao, so far, few people think that Lu Xiancheng can make any tricks by getting a ranch here, even if Ye Yihong and Zhu Zihua's evaluation of Lu Xiancheng's ranch is burned.
Fortunately, Lu Yao didn't think much about this matter, in his opinion, if the boss gave him money to do things, he would do things well. I don't have to worry about anything else. And Lu Xiancheng obviously likes him, that is, he likes him.
"It's difficult for children to go to school, and soon our girls should go to school," Lu Yao said.
"You can let your sister-in-law take the children to school in the county seat. There's no need to come here with you, I'll give you two days off a week when the time comes," Lu Xiancheng said briskly.
When Lu Yao heard Lu Xiancheng say this, his face couldn't help but darken, but Lu Xiancheng happened to walk in front and didn't notice the expression on Lu Yao's face, so naturally it was impossible to ask anything.
"Two steps away, we're coming!" After Lu Xiancheng said a word to Lu Yao, he urged the inferior horse to step down. I only heard the horse's hooves shouting with Lu Xiancheng, boom! Boom! Boom! rang out, and the speed couldn't help but be fast.
It took more than twenty minutes for the two of them to reach the front of the small cottage with three horses.
"Who are you? This is a place with a master, not a barren mountain......" looked at Lu Xiancheng and Lu Yao. A young man dressed as a student came out of the room.
Lu Xiancheng didn't explain anything to him, and said directly: "I'm looking for Professor Wen Jifeng or Professor Xu Guanping!" ”。
"Our boss went to see the grass, and Professor Xu is no more, and it will take a while to come back!" When the person who spoke heard Lu Xiancheng's words, it turned out that he was looking for his teacher, and his tone couldn't help but be a little better.
As soon as he heard about seeing grass, Lu Xiancheng's interest immediately increased, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is your experimental place?" ”。
"If you go up the bank of the river, between two small hills, you will see a small, shallow lake that is much larger, and you can see it on the other side of the lake," said the young man.
Lu Xiancheng thanked them when he heard this, and then said to Lu Yao: "Why don't you stay here and get the things off the horse first, I'll go and see first!" ”。
Lu Yao said: "I'll go with you, just leave this horse behind!" ”。
As soon as Lu Xiancheng heard this, he and Lu Yao unloaded the things on the back of the horse that was carrying the things, and then the two of them stepped on the horse and walked towards the place pointed by the young man.
As soon as they crossed the ridge between the two small hills, needless to say, Lu Xiancheng and Lu Yao saw several crisp green grasses by the lake, which couldn't help but make people's eyes shine.
Lu Xiancheng only knew that the grass seeds selected by the hybrid had been planted, and he didn't expect it to be such a big piece, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.
"Drive!" Lu Xiancheng urged the horse to run towards the meadow.
Professor Wen Jifeng is taking the students to check the development of the grass plants. Hearing the student next to him calling someone over, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes and look at Lu Xiancheng and Lu Yao.
"Who are you looking for?" Wen Jifeng saw Lu Xiancheng, and the two of them shouted loudly not far away.
The two professors had never met Lu Xiancheng, the boss, before, but they had heard from the foreign manager from the United States that the owner of the China Ranch Company was a Chinese.
"I'm Lu Xiancheng, are you Professor Wen or Professor Xu?" When Lu Xiancheng reached a distance of five meters, he immediately jumped off his horse. He replied with a smile.
Professor Wen Jifeng said: "I am Wen Jifeng, Lao Xu is observing his bamboo forest over there, and I am going to move a piece of bamboo forest on the mountain over there."
As soon as he heard that the person was called Lu Xiancheng, Wen Jifeng naturally knew that it was the boss of the ranch company, although he looked young and in his twenties at most, but people in charge of the ranch were equivalent to their own bosses, although Wen Jifeng was a professor, he was not a nerd who stayed in the ivory tower and died, and he naturally spoke very politely and would not have any big behavior because of his age.
Lu Xiancheng got off his horse and walked to the edge of the grass with the reins. Reaching out and touching the grass that had almost grown to his knees: "How is this grass?" ”。
"The grass looks good, but the rhizome is too short in the soil, so it is impossible to survive except in places close to the water source, such as the top of the mountain, and it is good over there."
Since he is the CEO of the company, Wen Jifeng naturally wants to start showing off his achievements these days, to be honest, Wen Jifeng has been wanting to talk to the so-called 'American expert' who does this breeding these days, but unfortunately the United States does not give Wen Jifeng an answer at all.
Although the grass seeds that meet the requirements of investors have not yet been formally bred. But Wen Jifeng already knows success in his heart.
Now Wen Jifeng's main concern is how to divide the credit! Although the research was carried out on my own side, the ideas and the father's pasture were ready-made. To be honest, I just did the work of a migrant worker. If you publish a paper, you will be the first author.
Where would Lu Xiancheng think that the old man Wen in front of him was thinking about the distribution of honor after the successful cultivation of pasture, and now Lao Lu cares about when his pasture will come out, so that he can plant special mother's all over the mountains, and then the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
Stepping and following Wen Jifeng to the meadow he said, Lu Xiancheng took a look and found that the plants were much shorter than the ones he had just seen. It's a little shorter, but it's a lot thicker than the previous one from the roots, almost twice as thick as before. If the grass just now is a plant, then the grass grows like a 'flower' like a cauliflower growing in all directions.
"What's wrong with this grass now?" Lu Xiancheng asked.
Professor Wen said: "I haven't seen it yet! It's very compliant, but there are no tall plants as stated in the requirements."
"Where's that over there?" Lu Xiancheng stretched out his finger and pointed to a few grassy fields in the distance and asked.
"It was the first batch of selected and bred, the first generation of hybrid grass ......," Professor Wen explained to Lu Xiancheng in detail, mainly to show his achievements after getting the funding.
Lu Xiancheng didn't care about this thing. He only cares about when his grass will come out, and Lu Xiancheng can only express his satisfaction with the current research progress.
"If you have any requirements in life, you can mention it, and I will try my best to help you solve it!" Things are doing well, and Lu Xiancheng naturally wants to give these people a little encouragement.
Professor Wen said: "First, there is no electricity, and secondly, the road here is too bad, and we can't transport some instruments or anything, so the laboratory can only be built in the town, and we have to go to the town to do any tests!" ”。
Lu Xiancheng immediately laughed in his heart when he heard this, no matter whether the road was flat or not, Lu Xiancheng was not ready to let Professor Wen run to his ranch to get a laboratory, no matter what laboratory was honestly put in the town or in the county, because Lao Lu didn't want to pull the electricity over for the time being.
Just kidding, can you still count on Lao Lu to answer the electricity for such a long way? The horses have to walk for more than two hours, and where is the cost of receiving electricity, which Lao Lu is willing to pay now. Besides, Lu Xiancheng still wants to experience a life far away from industrial civilization, how can he connect to electricity, and he can't wait until he can't stay up.
Even if you get electricity, most of them will get a wind turbine, and you don't need to look at the face of the '******'. As for diesel generators and the like, there is pollution, and Lu Xiancheng is not interested.
As for the road being repaired a little, it is not a big problem, but the cost of paving the road is too high, and Lu Xiancheng is also unwilling to do it.
However, it is always not good for people to raise problems and not solve them themselves: "I think it would be good to build a few small stone bridges over a few river bends, shorten the distance first, and then level some places again."
Speaking of this, he turned his head to Lu Yao and said, "Brother Lu Yao, if you arrest this matter, we will build a few small bridges a few meters wide on the way here, so that the round-trip journey to the town will be greatly shortened." The rest of us had to get over it first, and the company didn't have so much money to invest here all of a sudden."
Professor Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Roads always have to be repaired, I heard that in the future, the ranch will have to build a lot of infrastructure, and the big trucks can't drive it, so how can it be done?" ”。
Lu Xiancheng said in his heart: At that time, naturally someone will pay this money with me, and if I build the road now, it is not equivalent to spending money for the pastures on both sides of the road in vain.
But what Professor Wen said is also right, he is still going to build a super wooden house here, you can't get into the truck back and forth, and the wood is not easy to get in, just rely on how these mountain horses can carry the coarse wood!
But when I think about it, the mountain horses here are not good, and there are horses in the world, so when I go back and ask what kind of horses in the world are better, don't you get twenty or thirty horses to come in!
"That's it!" Lu Xiancheng didn't care about Professor Wen, he thought about it and decided this matter first. (To be continued.) )
