Chapter 266: Preparing for a Treat
Before the New Year, the campus is filled with a joyful atmosphere, with the sound of music wafting around every corner.
The radios donated by the Green Leaf Society were distributed by the Music Club a week before the New Year, and since then, the Music Club has been regularly broadcasting records on the radio for a period of time for trial broadcasts and modulation.
At the door of the Civil Guidance Research Association, a notice was posted: "The radio donated by the Green Leaf Society, if it fails, can be repaired by the Guidance Society." ”
Regarding the principle and structure of the radio, Duchamp specially invited Hermi Stova, the technical director of the Green Leaf Society, to give a lecture at the Civil Guidance Research Association. After that, the students tried to make some rough radios out of some of the materials they had collected.
Now, the deafening sound in the white house is one of the noisiest of these homemade products.
Duchamp crossed the territory of the White House to visit another experimental project he had worked on: greenhouse vegetables.
The two greenhouses, each covering an area of about 50 square meters, are only the top half of the glass, and some vegetables and mushrooms that are rare in this season are now growing. There were also several pots of flowers and plants hanging in the air, which was the result of the whims of the girls.
The heating of the greenhouse is heated by the simplest conductive furnace, so that the temperature in the greenhouse reaches about 15 degrees, which is enough for vegetables to grow.
During the lunch break, several students in charge of the project were still diligently taking care of the vegetables, and when they saw Duchamp coming, they greeted Duchamp in a friendly manner.
Duchamp noticed that there were a few more lights in the air. Crowe proudly pointed to the lamp in the sky and said, "With the addition of fluorescent lamps, vegetables are less likely to fall into dormancy and grow better." ”
The vegetables in the greenhouse are indeed growing well, and all kinds of small emerald green leaves are growing vigorously. In addition to the vegetables on the ground, there are also some sprouted vegetables and mushrooms on the shelves, which shows that these students really know how to grow vegetables.
Duchamp stretched out his thumb: "They are all masters of growing vegetables!" ”
With a smile on his face, Crowe said, "Our family runs a mill, and I grow a small vegetable garden." ”
Duchamp was not interested in this at all, he only knew that the vegetables were bought in the market.
He walked around the shed, picked up the record book hanging on the wall and flipped through it, and found that the accounts on it were not clear. He took the ledger and said to Crow, "All the cost of building a glass conservatory, and how much money you have spent on seeds and other things, must be costed in detail." In addition, the harvested vegetables cannot be taken out indiscriminately, the output must be counted, and the market must try to sell, and estimate how much these vegetables can be sold in the northern winter. Finally, it can be calculated how many years it will take to recover the money from building a greenhouse, and whether it has commercial value. Finally, a detailed report is produced. ”
"But we grow it for everyone to eat." Crow said earnestly, and several other people gathered around to say the same thing.
Duchamp looked at the sincere faces of a group of classmates, smiled and said, "I know, but we are also doing a rigorous experiment, which, if successful, may provide a way for the vast northern region to produce vegetables in winter." So its costs and gains, input-output must be very clear. Those vegetables that are eaten by themselves are not counted in price, but they are also included in the total production. The organizers will pay for the vegetables taken from here at half of the market price. ”
Crow knew very well that the money to buy food at each party was either from Gude or Duchamp. He argued with reason, saying, "Styry, we can't do this, we want to do our part for everyone." ”
Duchamp touched his nose, and this seemed to be a good reason. He suddenly thought of a reason, and said with a smile: "Class A will come to borrow our site to hold a dinner in two days, they have money, you don't have to save for them." ”
Crow stubbornly insisted, "That's your classmates, just like our classmates, we can't take their money." ”
Duchamp's eloquence failed, and he couldn't help but slander: "You treat them as classmates, they may not treat you as classmates." They said a few more words to Crow, and then said goodbye and went out to find Goode and Ella.
Duchamp said that Class A was going to have a dinner, which was true, but it was also planned by him on a whim.
Duchamp's 99 successful cooking tasks passed through all corners of the continent, and he had the opportunity to cook, especially during the promotion on the streets of Rulei. But now in school, when it comes to brushing the last dozen or so, it seems to have hit a bottleneck. He was determined to take advantage of this New Year's opportunity to brush up on this task. I happened to go to the Republic some time ago and observed some special dishes, which are just right to use now.
Even if he has top-level cooking skills, he has to overcome the limitations of the achievement conditions, and now he relies on the praise of this group of old diners of the Civil Guide Research Association, and he can't be promoted, in order to complete this task as soon as possible, he needs to change diners.
Duchamp calculated the time, and on New Year's Day, he would definitely be busy with radio and concert matters, and the next day was the day when the Green Leaf Society celebrated and distributed dividends, and he only chose to come to invite guests on the New Year, and after counting the days for half a day, he set the time for Thursday afternoon.
He whispered to Eric about his plan to invite everyone to dinner, and Eric naturally supported it vigorously and wrote a notice seriously.
Duchamp didn't know how many people in the class would come, but at least the vase group that rehearsed together would be all present, plus Fang and Eric, that is, 12 classmates, and the remaining half of the classmates would be as many as they wanted.
On Tuesday, Eric told him the final number, which totaled just 20. Duchamp calculated that if he removed himself, there would be only 19 people, which was not up to the standard of a successful cook, so he had an idea and invited Professor Ashley, who readily agreed to attend.
All that's left is to find a helper. This group of young masters, you can't expect them to help with any work, but you can't ask the students of the civilian class to help.
In the end, Duchamp really couldn't think of a trick, so he temporarily hired two housewives as helpers from the school's miscellaneous dormitory, and borrowed some utensils from the school cafeteria, trying to put them on a decent display.
At noon on Thursday, Duchamp sneaked into the White House to prepare, and Gavin helped him deliver a lot of custom-made meat, fish, vegetables, and spices, plus fresh vegetables and mushrooms in the glass greenhouse, which in winter were enough to be called luxurious.
He arrives at class before class, and when Eric sees him, he quickly tells him that the number of students has changed, and that there is no one left in the class, and they will all attend the dinner party in the evening.
"Why the sudden change?" Duchamp asked curiously.
"Because the students knew that Professor Ashley would be there." Eric replied helplessly.
Duchamp is stunned, what a group of students with sore eggs!
