When he arrived at the meeting place, Chen Cheng was surprised to see Zhou Kai wearing a jacket.

"Teacher Zhou, are you going to the mountains too?" Chen Cheng asked with concern.

Zhou Kai smiled and nodded.

"You're all right, right? Leave any scientific research tasks to me, or don't go. Chen Cheng said.

Zhou Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid." I know you've recently grown a lot in your skill set. Even Elder Zeng personally helped you stand on the platform. I'm glad you came. But this time I have to go in person, after all, I don't think I will have the opportunity to go into the mountains again in the future, so I will go boldly this time! ”

Chen Cheng looked at Zhou Kai's student Wu Yongping, and Wu Yongping spread his hands, showing that he could not do anything.

In today's era, hilly areas can no longer be called mountainous areas, and only high-altitude and mountainous places in the northwestern part of the Han Dynasty can be called mountainous areas.

Academician Zhou Kai is almost eighty years old, the mountain is high and the road is long, Chen Cheng is really worried about what is wrong with his body.

When it was time to get into the car, Wu Yongping whispered to Chen Cheng: "We brought Mr. Zhou's personal doctor and prepared medicines, so there should be no problem." ”

Chen Cheng let go of his hanging heart.

Coaster, who was in a hurry for eight people, soon drove out of Hanxi Province, and after driving for more than an hour, they could faintly see the continuous mountains in the distance and the white "hats" on the top of the mountains.

That's snow.

Chen Cheng and Zhou Kai sat in the first row, separated by an aisle.

Zhou Kai was very interested in what happened to Chen Cheng recently, so Chen Cheng had to lean sideways to give him the interesting things he had encountered.

Whether it is plant mineral operant or plant preplastid operantin, these are technologies that can no longer be studied in depth in this life for Zhou Kai.

So to be able to listen to how Chen Cheng studied and how miraculous they were, Zhou Kai felt very happy, and he didn't even feel the pain of the bumps on the way.

It was late in the evening that Coaster stopped in front of an inn at the foot of the mountain.

There was still the most difficult mountain road to climb, and it was not suitable to continue the mountain road when it was dark, so they had to rest for one night before walking.

Chen Cheng originally thought that he would go to bed after a simple dinner, but he didn't expect a group of people from the county party committee to enter the hotel and invite them to dinner.

It turned out that the magistrate of Panxi County heard that Academician Zhou Kai led the team to deliver rice seeds, and hurriedly arranged a reception meal.

"Academician Zhou, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to think about the rice in Panxi County all the time. County Magistrate Sun raised his wine glass and opened his mouth to thank him.

No anti-theft

Zhou Kai cut off the hot water and called Chen Cheng up.

"County Magistrate Sun, you have to thank Xiao Chen, this technique is all his credit."

County Magistrate Sun said with a smile: "Academician Zhou, don't look at our remoteness here, but Expert Xiao Chen is famous. Come, Expert Xiao Chen, I will also toast you. ”

Chen Cheng hurriedly picked up the tea and clinked glasses with him.

County Magistrate Sun drank the wine, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Academician Zhou, Expert Xiao Chen, please eat." We have a remote location here, and there are some dishes that can't be served on the table, don't mind. ”

Chen Cheng and the others were polite and hurried.

What Chen Cheng didn't expect was that the first bite of boiled pork amazed him.

The pork was eaten, fat but not greasy, and there was even a slight sweetness.

He didn't move any dipping sauce.

"County Magistrate Sun, why is this pork so delicious?" Chen Cheng asked.

Seeing Chen Cheng's surprised appearance, Zhou Kai and the others all smiled and said nothing.

Looks like they've tasted it before.

County Magistrate Sun smiled: "This is our most famous Panxi pork!" ”

The most famous?

Chen Cheng said he had never heard of it.

"Expert Xiao Chen, that's right. The pigs in our Panxi County are domesticated from local wild boars, which are very different from the common white pork on the market, and our pigs are grown up eating local wild grasses and never feed feed. County Magistrate Sun explained.

Chen Cheng asked: "Then why not vigorously develop industrialization?" ”

County Magistrate Sun said: "Panxi pigs are small, grow slowly, and have a low slaughter rate. If you are fed feed or fine grains such as wheat and corn, the meat quality will change. It doesn't taste as good as grazing pigs.

Moreover, the Panxi pigs with the best taste are bred in the high mountains, so most of the Panxi pigs are self-produced and sold, and rarely taken out. ”

Chen Cheng nodded.

That is, the Panxi pig genetically leads to its inability to be industrially farmed.

It's a pity that such delicious pork can't be enjoyed by the world.

Chen Cheng sighed with emotion and sandwiched two more pieces of boiled pork.

Seeing that his products were so loved by the guests, County Magistrate Sun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and continued to explain: "Our Panxi pig, because it eats wild grasses on the high mountains to grow, has never been fed many messy things, so it tastes pure, even if it is boiled in white water, there will be no smell or fishy smell." ”

Chen Cheng nodded while eating, if this quality pork is really market-oriented, I don't know how much it will cost a catty.

...

Early the next morning, Chen Cheng and the others set off again, this time with an additional county agricultural bureau chief.

For such an important opportunity to brush his face, the county will definitely send someone to it.

It took Coaster two hours to climb from more than 2,000 meters above sea level to more than 4,000 meters above sea level. Halfway through, the doctor measured Zhou Kai's blood pressure and heartbeat several times, but fortunately, they were all within the normal range.

After lunch, the money finally arrived in the village they had chosen before. The car stopped at the fork in the road and couldn't drive any further.

Panxi County does not yet have the economic capacity to build a road connecting villages and villages.

Chen Cheng carried Zhou Kai and walked forward on the gravel road, while Wu Yongping and the others each had to carry a bag of rice seeds, which was more difficult.

After a few rounds, Chen Cheng finally saw the whole picture of the countryside in the alpine area of Panxi County.

This is a village nestled in the mountains at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. It is said to be a village, but in fact it is a few wooden houses scattered among the mountains.

There was a little smoke from the houses, and in front of the houses were terraced rice fields hanging between the ridges.

Looking at the village with a strong rural atmosphere, Chen Cheng actually felt that there was a kind of paradise-like beauty.

Suddenly, someone in the distance began to shout, and the shouting echoed several times in the mountains, but Chen Cheng didn't hear the specific content clearly.

After a while, a group of peasants dressed in old-fashioned navy blue tunics ran towards them around the ridge.

That kind of dress, Chen Cheng vaguely remembered the way the old people in their hometown liked to dress many years ago.

I didn't expect to see it again in such a remote mountain village.

"Oops! Why bother you to move things? ”

The village chief, who took the lead, hurriedly beckoned the farmers to take the seeds and other things from them.

Five peasants, each carrying several bags, led the way in front of them with a brisk walk.

Chen Cheng hugged Zhou Kai and slowly followed behind.

There are fields on the left, mountains on the right, and occasionally trees, and chickens and dogs barking.

Standing high and looking into the distance, it is really a refreshing view of the mountains.
