Chapter 142: A Handsome Old Man (4/5)
With the first experience, when the young shoots were fried next, Qin Yi's control of the heat had improved a lot, although the appearance was still a little unsightly, but at least it was not burnt anymore, and the fragrance and aura of the tea were well preserved.
When the tea leaves came out of the pot, Qin Yi and Susa brewed two cups first, and sat on the terrace to taste them slowly. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the vast pastures in the distance, the calves strolling leisurely, and the snow on the top of the Rocky Mountain that glows with holy light, lying on the rocking chair, taking a sip of fragrant tea, experiencing the comfortable atmosphere flowing throughout the body, comfortable and serene!
After closing his eyes and enjoying himself for a while, Qin Yi told Susa about buying a vineyard and wanted to hear her opinion.
Susa's eyes lit up and she was a little excited: "Of course it's good, your winemaking skills are so good, when the finished product comes out, it will definitely become a world-famous wine!" ”
"It's not as good as at home." Qin Yi took another sip of tea, looked at the color of the tea in the cup, and secretly said that it was a pity, if the tea master came to stir-fry, maybe the color and fragrance could go to the next level!
"The raw materials are different, and the red wine produced in the vineyard can't catch up with the batch at home."
"That's certainly not bad, when the time comes, it will definitely become another big industry besides the ranch!" Susa didn't care about Qin Yi's words, where could he go? If you can have one-tenth of the current fruit wine, it will be sought after!
Susa knew some of Qin Yi's magic, so she had a lot of confidence in him.
After eating at noon, Qin Yi remembered that Davide, an old professor, had been wandering around the ranch with two assistants for so long, and he didn't know if he had researched anything. Riding Xiao Hei to their temporary residence, he saw Davide and his two assistants observing a few petri dishes from a distance.
"Professor Davide, how's the research going?"
Davide was concentrating on observing the grass sprouts on the petri dish, and after listening to Qin Yi's words, he realized that the ranch owner had arrived.
"Alas, not much progress!" Davide shook his head and said, there was no disappointment in his tone, Qin Yi secretly praised in his heart: This research is not afraid of setbacks!
"Take your time. There will always be a result. He comforted him a little, he was not surprised by Davide's words, they might find some appearances, but if they wanted to find the spiritual spring water, it was impossible, at most they just felt that the water contained unknown trace elements that could promote the growth of pasture.
"It's not that I didn't find anything at all." Davide led Qin Yi to take a general tour of the humble laboratory, and then they came to the bench next to the RV and sat down, an assistant named Johnny brought two cups of coffee, and turned around to fiddle with the instruments.
"We found that the grass seeds here are more vigorous. The ordinary seeds brought in from outside are planted in the pasture, although they are worse than the original seeds, but they are much better than those grown in the outside world. ”
Davide took off his cowboy hat, scratched his slightly bald head with some confusion, and continued to talk about his findings: "We have also studied the soil, air, water and other factors of the pasture, and found that the root cause is still in the water quality of the pasture, but no matter how we study, we can't figure out how this water is essentially different from ordinary river water!" ”
Davide said. Grabbing the coffee on the small table and taking a sip, his expression finally showed some distress, after all, they had been on the ranch for more than twenty days, and the progress they had made was very limited. The calm on the face is made for people to see. For an old guy like him, who is obsessed with animal husbandry research, how can he be calm when he knows a new mutated pasture but can't analyze the causes of the mutation!
Yes, Davide's words just now are not complete. Forage grass is not only vigorous, but also resistant to drought and cold, even if it is planted in the outside world. It may not grow as well as Sun River Ranch, but it is much better than the existing forage varieties, and its performance in drought resistance and cold resistance is even better.
He didn't mention this just now because he knew that the mutation of forage grass started from the dry season, and Qin Yi, as a rancher, witnessed this mutation, so he would naturally know the drought resistance of forage, so this thing that everyone knows is not a research result, and there is no need to say it.
"Maybe the water contains some unknown elements." Qin Yi looked sloppy, "Otherwise, looking at your research, it seems that it can't be finished in a short time, I'll ask Ryan to arrange a room for you, how can you rest well if you are always crowded in the RV!" ”
Johnny and another assistant named Price listened to Qin Yi's words, and their eyes suddenly lit up, three big men have been nested in the RV for so long, and they really feel that it is not a human life!
Johnny gently pushed Price, and said to David Nunu, Price, who understood, leaned over to Davide's side and whispered: "Mentor, our research still needs a lot of time, and it's really not good to rest in the RV, which affects the progress of the research." ”
In fact, Davide was already a little moved when he heard Qin Yi's words, and at this time, after Price's persuasion, he immediately stopped hesitating, rubbed his old arms and legs as if he was about to fall apart, and smiled at Qin Yi self-deprecatingly: "Seriously, Yi, I'm so old, I'm really a little unbearable, and I've been a little insomnia recently!" Well, thank you, Yat, we really needed a room with a single bed! ”
"Ha, you're welcome, the research results belong to the ranch, and after all, you still work for the ranch. Cowboys know that I treat my employees very well! Qin Yi put down the coffee cup and joked.
"Well, I like generous bosses!" Johnny and Price give a high-five, happy for the upcoming single bed.
Qin Yi called Ryan and asked him to arrange this matter, then said goodbye to the three of Davide and went back to the main house.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Miles called and said that there were a few good vineyards near Los Angeles and asked Qin Yi to come over and have a look.
The next day, Qin Yi dressed in business casual attire at Sousa's suggestion and embarked on a trip to Los Angeles with a small bag. Angel wants to go to school, Susa naturally has to stay and take care of the little girl, and some financial transactions such as the construction of the farm hotel also need her to follow up, so Qin Yi can only be left on the road alone.
I landed in Los Angeles in the morning, and when I walked out of the airport, I saw Sara holding a big sign. Qin Yi walked towards this easily shy girl, and was a little puzzled that she would come to pick up the plane, because yesterday Miles said that he was coming to pick up the plane.
"Hi Sarah."
Qin Yi greeted casually, he was very familiar with Miles and Sarah, the father and daughter had also gone to the ranch a few times before, and the two sides could be called good friends, he would live in the villa on Miles' side when he came to Los Angeles this time.
"Hi Yi!" Sara greeted Qin Yi with a slightly red face, Qin Yi found it funny, this little girl is still so easy to be shy!
"Hehe, are you confused when you see me? Miles is over there! Sara grinned and led Qin Yi to the parking lot.
"It's a little, but it's also a surprise, the beautiful girl came to pick up the plane, but it's countless times better than the old man Miles!" Qin Yi wanted to tease her when he saw this shy little girl.
"Hmph, it's not good to say in front of your daughter that her father is an old man, although you say that I'm beautiful makes people happy!" Although she said this, she didn't see anything wrong with her happy smile!
"Well, I was wrong, Miles is a handsome old man!" Qin Yi followed Sarah's footsteps, teasing the little girl while looking at the Los Angeles airport, which was full of people coming and going.
"Hey, Miles must be very happy to hear this, because finally someone said that he is handsome!"
Talking and laughing, I came to the parking lot after a while, and with Sarah's little hand, a middle-aged man with sunglasses not far away, leaning on a red convertible sports car, looked at this side in a drag, at first glance, it was really handsome! (To be continued......)
