Three days later, Zhu Yimin sent someone to deliver four tangerines on time.

Chen Cheng chose two pills, one large and one small, and handed them to Ding Tao for him to do laboratory tests and analyze trace elements. There were two left, and he was going to peel them open and taste them.

After all, tasting is also a kind of experiment.

At this time, the tangerines look larger than they were three days ago, and the skin at the stalk has begun to turn slightly yellow, and it seems that it will soon be harvested in large quantities.

Could it be that auxin has also advanced the harvest date of the fruit?

If he hadn't been busy writing a paper on the mineral operants found in wild mandarins these days, he would have wanted to go to Yanyuan County to check it out in person.

Chen Cheng thought as he put a petal of tangerine into his mouth.

With the previous experience of being sour to the point of toothache, he was fully prepared this time.

Unexpectedly, after taking a bite, the full juice overflowed in the mouth, and there was a sweet taste with a slight acidity, and after swallowing it completely, I tasted a faint salty taste on the tip of the tongue.

"This tastes special!"

Chen Cheng was pleasantly surprised and handed another orange to Tang Qiang. Tang Qiang looked at the turquoise orange and shook his head again and again.

"No, no, I've been afraid of sour food since I was a child."

"Taste it, you've never tasted it before!"

At Chen Cheng's strong request, Tang Qiang just broke a small petal from his hand, put it in his mouth, and frowned together in advance.

"Huh?"

Tang Qiang's brows suddenly relaxed, and then parted to the sides, his eyes widened.

"Holy, what kind of breed is this? Why is it so delicious? ”

Tang Qiang broke another petal and threw it into his mouth, chewing and tasting: "This taste is moderately sweet and sour, not greasy or sour, and there is a trace of salty aftertaste." As the saying goes, salty can make it taste, and this orange is simply amazing! ”

The two of them finished eating the two oranges with great satisfaction, and then waited for Ding Tao with blank eyes.

Because after Ding Tao finished the experiment, the two oranges that were tested could still be eaten.

Occasionally, agriculture has the benefit of eating experimental products.

This is better than biology, which experiments are frogs, mice, and the like, and no one can talk about it.

After a while, Ding Tao came out of the laboratory.

He handed the experiment report to Chen Cheng and wondered, "How can this orange sample contain so many kinds of trace elements?" And there is also sodium chloride! ”

Tang Qiang, who had already brought oranges from the laboratory, said mysteriously: "Don't ask yet, you'll know when you eat it." ”

Then Ding Tao's eyebrows went through the same process as Tang Qiang.

"Lao Chen! Where is this orange? What is your name? I can still eat ten! ”

"Yes, Lao Chen, let them send some more!"

Chen Cheng sent an email to Zhang Dawei and said, "Wait two more days, my paper is finished, they should also pick in batches, I'll take you to eat!" ”

"Good! I'm going to eat for free. ”

"Old Chen is awesome!"

Seeing the two cheering, Chen Cheng added: "It's okay to eat for free, but you have to help others pick oranges for a day." ”

......

Two days later, Chen Cheng received an invitation letter from Zhu Yimin himself.

Invitation to the annual dealer purchasing meeting of Yanyuan oranges.

He didn't expect that Yanyuan County would hold such a grand dealer procurement meeting every year, which can be regarded as a unique business model.

The next day, Chen Cheng took Wang Kai and others to Yanyuan County.

Wang Kai heard about sweet and salty oranges because he came back that day, and he complained to Chen Cheng because he missed good oranges at work.

Chen Cheng agreed to take him with him on the spot, and he gave up.

As soon as the car drove into Yanyuan County, I saw an overwhelming number of billboards with all kinds of advertising slogans written on them.

"Salt source oranges, mineral salt oranges you've never tasted!"

"Don't have the strength to play basketball? Hungry, let's have a mineral orange! ”

"Tangerines that can supplement trace elements in the human body, a unique variety in Yanyuan County!"

Chen Cheng and the others discussed excitedly, and then found that the road in front of them was blocked by rows of large trucks.

And it's not an ordinary truck, but a refrigerated truck with a fresh-keeping function.

A few people got out of the car and walked in confusion, the venue of the dealer procurement meeting was on the county government square, Chen Cheng came once, remember the road.

However, what he did not expect was that Wang Shiwei, director of the Provincial Agricultural and Industrial Committee, also attended the procurement meeting in person.

Seeing Chen Cheng who was ushered in by Miss Etiquette, Wang Shiwei, who was speaking, immediately stopped and beckoned Chen Cheng to the stage.

Chen Cheng found that on the long table covered with red cloth on the table, there was a place for his seat card.

Chen Cheng sat down a little uncomfortably, this kind of scene of a row of leaders sitting obediently on the stage, he had only seen it in the news.

"Folks, this is the expert who has solved the aging problem of our Yanyuan oranges, Chen Cheng, he is a special expert of our Handong Provincial Agricultural and Industrial Committee!" Wang Shiwei pointed to him and introduced him to the audience.

Chen Cheng wondered: When did I become a special expert?

For the sake of your contribution to the construction of the laboratory building, you say yes!

"Expert Xiao Chen! Attaboy! ”

"Thank you, Expert Xiao Chen!"

The audience resounded with the shouts of the peasants one after another.

Wang Shiwei smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "Today's theme is business procurement, I won't say much, everyone remember, our orange industry in Yanyuan County is promising, please come back to build your hometown!" ”

After speaking, he handed the microphone to Zhu Yimin next to him.

Zhu Yimin read out the rules for dealer procurement, because this year's salt source orange is rich in trace elements, the gimmick of mineral salt mandarin was fired by the Agricultural and Labor Committee, so the dealers are bound to win, and the competition is extremely fierce.

In order to protect the market, Zhu Yimin specially designated the rule of supplying goods in sub-regions across the country and not allowing monopolies. On this basis, it is the bidding order.

"Start quoting now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dealers below stood up and shouted their own quotations at the top of their voices.

"Beihan area, Meinong Group, 30 tons, 10 yuan per kilogram!"

"Nanhan area, Orma supermarket, 40 tons, 11 yuan per kilogram!"

"We are red and chained, 13 yuan per kilogram, how much you want!"

...

Listening to the higher and higher offers below, Chen Cheng felt that his imagination was still too low.

The wholesale price is so high, and the market price is not 20 yuan a catty!

Looking at the audience, Wang Kai and the three of them were frantically stuffing oranges into their mouths, and they may have eaten a red ticket for a pound.

When the dealers quoted the price, everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Yimin, because it was time for him to announce the list of winning bids for procurement.

In the expectant eyes of the audience, Zhu Yimin slowly stood up.

"Five or six days ago, I thought that Yanyuan tangerines would disappear from now on, but I didn't expect..."

walked up to Wang Shiwei and bowed, then walked up to Chen Cheng and bowed deeply.

When he turned around again, his face was full of tears.

The dignified county magistrate actually whimpered: "Thank you, Director Wang, thank you Expert Xiao Chen." Without you, there would be no Yanyuan orange today, thank you! ”
