Chapter 341: Heavy Duty
"Xiao Zhao. Originally, at my age, I shouldn't overeat, but today's meal tastes so good. The taste of this wine is even more fragrant. I couldn't brake, and my stomach was a little stretched. Yuan Lao said.
"There is a saying in our countryside that if you can eat, you are blessed. It's okay to eat a little more once in a while. Besides, today is all some fish, no meat, although eat a little more, it will not have much effect. Laiwang said.
Old Man Luo also smiled, "In the past, when I was in Xingsha, I only dared to eat one bowl of rice at a meal, but now, I eat two bowls at a meal." I used to have this disease, that disease. I won't be able to live for many years in the future. But now I'm in good health, I don't have any problems, and I really feel like I can live another 500 years. So, it's a lot of food, it's not a big deal. And the food here is safe food, so it's okay to eat a little more. ”
"But Luo Lao, you are different from me, you are working every day now, but I can't do anything. Physical activity is rarely done. So, I can't compare with you! Yuan Lao said.
"Where can't it be compared? But I think it's time for you to let the young guys do it. Scientific research is always taken over by young people. You are now a role model for young people. Your healthy life is more important than your scientific research. Old Man Luo said.
Professor Luo also agrees with this, "Mr. Luo said this well. Yuan Lao's health is more important than scientific research. As long as Yuan Lao is in charge of the Rice Research Institute, he can give young people an incentive and point out the direction for young people. When young people are in trouble, you are the most powerful support behind them. ”
Yuan Lao nodded, "It's true that I can't do it." I saw that Luo Lao was living so happily in Xiao Zhao's farm. I'm also very envious. This idyllic life is what I have longed for all my life. I'm also ready to put down my job and give it to young people. So, ah. Xiao Zhao, you have to keep a good house for me. Maybe one day, I'll come to your farm and be a farmer. ”
"When will Yuan Lao come, I will have the best house here for Yuan Lao at any time." Laiwang said with a smile.
"Old Yuan, you see, our treatment is completely different. When I came over, this guy pushed three and four, for fear that I would eat and drink him for nothing. You're different, you have the best house at any time. I said that this kid has built a beautiful suite over there, who is it going to give it to? It turned out to be for Yuan Lao. Luo Lao said.
Laiwang scratched his head. To be honest, he didn't really prepare a house for Yuan Lao. He is not an immortal, how could he know that Yuan Lao will come over again, and he still has plans to go to Zhaojiatun to recuperate? That house was actually lived in by himself after Laiwang was going to get married.
Of course, he couldn't really say this, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, yes, as long as Yuan Lao comes, Yuan Lao can pick the house here." ”
Yuan Lao naturally knew that this was Old Man Luo teasing Laiwang. I didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "I want to come here to be a farmer, not to enjoy it." This man. No matter how many houses there are, you can only sleep in one room and have more cars. You can only take one car, no matter how much money you have. You can't buy a long life. I'm a bad old man, and I'm going to come with my wife to farm. Why do you want a house that big? I just want a house like Mr. Luo's. ”
"Elder Yuan said it well. I've heard on TV that your name is worth hundreds of billions, which is amazing. Who would have thought that your requirements for life would be so simple. Old Man Luo said.
"Huh. One more thing. Xiao Zhao, when we were in early rice, we took samples from you and found a very interesting thing. The hybrid rice you grow here turns out to be homozygous, that is, you can keep your own seeds. If you continue to plant that variety next year, you can keep the seeds for yourself and don't need to buy seeds. Moreover, the yield is also very good. Yuan Lao said.
Yuan Lao took a sip of tea and continued, "If you agree, we are ready to continue to conduct cultivation trials on the seeds in the experimental field, and if the shape can be stabilized, it can be promoted in production." ”
"What's not to agree with about this? You can do research, you can do promotion. As for our Fuwang farm, we will not be planting regular varieties next year. I'm going to grow fragrant rice on a large scale next year. Our rice fields are so good, it is not cost-effective to plant ordinary rice. We are ready to grow fragrant rice with a higher value. In the future, our Fuwang Farm will be based on the domestic high-end rice production market. First, our Fuwang homeland has a relatively large demand for high-quality rice. As we all know, there is also a charge for the rice in our Fuwang homeland. But the rice we serve is definitely the highest quality in the country. Laiwang said.
"Xiao Zhao's idea is good. But to plant such a large area at once, do you have reliable seeds ready? Professor Luo asked.
Laiwang nodded, "The seeds have been preliminarily determined, which are our local fragrant rice seeds." I don't have high requirements for yield, and the local fragrant rice is still good in terms of disease and insect resistance. Our farm can also continue to breed and finally get the best seeds. ”
"In other words, you have given up the pursuit of yield for the sake of quality." Yuan Lao said.
Laiwang nodded, "The output is not important. We have a fixed sales chain. Compared to the yield, I pay attention to the quality of the product. I have heard that the rice of the island country and Thailand has almost monopolized the domestic high-grade rice market. I think that in the future, we at Fuwang Farm can also make a certain difference in the high-end rice market. ”
Yuan Lao nodded, "That's true, the rice of the island country is sold for 99 yuan per kilogram in China, and it almost monopolizes the market of high-grade rice with Thai rice." But the quality is on par with the quality of your early rice. You now have hundreds of acres of paddy fields, and if you continue to grow a large number of high-quality rice, you can do more prominently in deep processing. Strive to occupy a place in the high-end rice market. Xiao Zhao, the situation of late rice this year is also very optimistic. I think we can try to hit the high-end rice market. Normally, the quality of late rice will be much higher than that of early rice, and then the quality of your rice will surpass that of island and Thai rice. But first you have to build your brand. If, you are ready to defend the high-grade rice market in our country. I can speak for you on a voluntary basis! ”
Yuan Lao endorses, this is more influential than any world star. You must know that in China, no one can match Yuan Lao's influence in agriculture.
"Such a cheap thing, of course I can't miss it. Depending on the situation, in the second half of the year, Fuwang Farm will produce at least 50 tons of rice. By next year, the production will be even higher. Laiwang said.
"Xiao Zhao, if you want to hit the high-end rice market, I think the first thing to do is to certify organic rice. Now the cultivation method of Fuwang Farm fully meets the basic requirements of organic rice production. The other thing is to apply for a brand and then promote the brand. Yuan Lao said.
Laiwang nodded, "In fact, we have already started to do this work, and now it has entered the approval stage." There are no surprises, and the approval should come down soon. We have also registered brands such as Fuwang Farm and Fuwang Homestead. ”
"Okay. Well done young man. Things are so well thought out. Yuan Lao smiled.
"All this is thanks to Zeng Fangming, if it weren't for him, where did I know so much?" Laiwang said.
"That's good. When the organic rice is certified, it can be advertised. Doesn't the agriculture channel of the national station have a special program for the promotion of the agricultural industry? I am very familiar with the comrades of the agricultural channel, and I can contact you. However, there is still a need for publicity through various channels. Yuan Lao said.
"Actually, publicity is not a problem. There is Yuan Lao out of the horse. It's all very simple. As long as there is a press conference and the matter of Yuan Lao's endorsement of Fuwang Farm is announced, a large number of media will naturally come to Fuwang Farm to do free publicity. Laiwang even saves advertising costs. At that time, by the way, the organic rice of Fuwang Farm will be promoted. The ad must have worked very well. Old Man Luo said.
"That's right. It's a good idea. However, Xiao Zhao, it is not unconditional for me to endorse you. Yuan Lao said.
"What conditions? As long as I can do it, I will do it! Laiwang said.
"You can definitely do it. I don't want a penny from your Fuwang Farm, but you fight for our Chinese rice people and take back the high-end rice market that foreign rice has seized. In addition, although it is high-end, I hope that more people can afford it. Of course, I don't want you to lose money, you have to make money, otherwise you won't be able to do this business. Just don't be like foreign rice, like robbing money! Yuan Lao said.
"That's it? Old Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do this! Laiwang said.
"I'm really looking forward to what kind of impact will your rice bring to the domestic rice market when it goes to the market?" Yuan Lao sighed.
"I have also eaten high-grade rice from abroad. In fact, it's not bad for the rice we eat today. You know, this rice in Laiwang is early rice. If it is late rice, it is estimated that there is still a lot of room for improvement in quality. In other words, even if Laiwang grows ordinary rice, it is enough to completely explode foreign high-grade rice. Come to Wang, fight for breath, and sell rice abroad in the future. Our Chinese rice can also go to foreign high-grade rice to grab money. Oh, it's not to grab money, it's to compete! Old Man Luo said.
At this moment, the height of this problem was suddenly raised.
Lai Wang was a little confused, he didn't quite understand, when did an ordinary farmer like himself have to shoulder such a big responsibility? (To be continued......)
