Wooden farmhouses scattered along the edge of the mountain terraces suddenly increased the fire from the chimneys, and the green smoke became thicker.

It may be that they want to temporarily increase Chen Cheng's lunch.

The farmer's food is very precious, and they are not sure that they will arrive before noon, so they have not cooked extra food before.

The winter sun shines lazily and is warm because of the high terrain and the good air.

The peasants set up a table and benches in the courtyard, and asked Chen Cheng and them to sit first, and then someone brought hot tea.

The mist rises from the large porcelain bowl, mixed with the surging fragrance, and also washes away the fatigue of the guests.

After a while, the meal was served.

Large bowl of white rice, large bowl of pork and wild vegetables.

Chen Cheng shook them in the car all morning, they were really hungry, and they gobbled it up directly.

Chen Cheng tasted that the pork at noon was also Panxi black pork, but it was smoked, but the taste was equally good.

It is also understandable that, after all, the peasant families in the mountains should not have universal refrigerators.

After lunch, Chen Cheng and the others started their work.

Wu Yongping led researchers down to paddy fields to check the water quality and take some water from the fields for simple nutrient measurements.

The results showed that the farmland was well nutrient, even better than that of the plains.

Chen Cheng was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that farmers in mountainous areas are not too reluctant to buy fertilizer to raise their fields, why are there so many nutrients in the fields?

Zhou Kai explained to him: "Because they use their own organic fertilizer.

When we visited here two years ago, we researched a set of organic fertilizer formulas for them according to local characteristics. It is mainly made of animal manure with plant ash and straw. By adjusting the ratio and controlling the temperature of the fertilizer, the final organic fertilizer is more effective than the compound fertilizer on the market. ”

Chen Cheng nodded approvingly.

Animal manure, straw and wood ash from firewood are the most readily available raw materials for mountain farmers. Zhou Kai and they used local resources to achieve better farming results while reducing farmers' expenditures.

This is the greatest value of agricultural researchers.

After completing the tests, the farmers from various villages in the distance have been notified to this village, and more than 30 people have crowded the entire small courtyard.

This is not all, but representatives sent from the villages.

Zhou Kai arranged for Wu Yongping to begin to explain to the farmers the planting methods and precautions of the new hybrid varieties.

The people of the county agricultural bureau first came to the stage to speak, the main content is to thank Academician Zhou Kai and his team, and then the county is very concerned about everyone, hoping that everyone will cherish this opportunity and work hard to learn agricultural knowledge.

Of course, Chen Cheng, as the main R&D personnel, was also called to the stage to accept everyone's welcome.

Looking at the dark but joyful faces in the audience, Chen Cheng felt that all the previous efforts were worth it.

This hybrid rice dominant gene preservation technology actually has great scientific and economic value. In this innovative technology, Chen Cheng has gained the least prestige value, but he feels the most rewarding and accomplished.

The reason for this is that it actually helps those who need it most.

When he looked at these simple smiles in the audience, he couldn't help but laugh along.

Wu Yongping spoke in great detail, and it took more than two hours to explain all the main points. The 'audience' in the audience was also very serious.

Chen Cheng can see that they are working hard to learn and remember.

The training was over, and the sun had set. The peasants who lived far away walked back in groups, and some of the people who lived nearby were retained by the village chief.

They have to hold a dam feast for Zhou Kai at night to catch the wind and wash the dust.

The Ba Ba Banquet was held on a stone slab drying ground at the back of the village, and the layout was not an ordinary banquet form. Instead, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the dam, and a circle of benches was placed around the bonfire at a distance.

Chen Cheng and the others were invited to sit down - on the floor, with a bench as a table.

In this form, many team members, including Chen Cheng, have met for the first time.

After a while, it got dark, and the campfire began to glow with its unique warmth.

The gongs and drums were beating, and a group of peasants, men and women, rushed out and began to dance around the fire.

Some people sang the song, others began to applaud and cheer.

Laughter and laughter rippled between the mountains and fields in an instant.

"Xiao Chen, come and have a drink."

Zhou Kai picked up the sake in front of him and raised his glass to Chen Cheng.

This sake is actually made from a local plant such as barley, and it has a very low alcohol content and a fragrant and slightly sweet taste.

Chen Cheng hurriedly picked up the wine glass and asked, "Teacher Zhou, can you drink?" ”

"What's there to drink, haven't you seen that the doctors are examining me all day today? Don't worry, I'm still tough, old man. ”

Chen Cheng looked at the doctor next to Zhou Kai with an inquiring eye, and the doctor's expression was very embarrassed.

Zhou Kaidao: "No problem! The main thing is that today is the day of my life's dream, I am very happy and I have to have a drink. Just one cup! ”

The doctor nodded, and Chen Cheng stretched out his wine glass to clink glasses with Zhou Kai.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

After speaking, Zhou Kai drank it all.

This probably means that everything is in the wine.

Chen Cheng also hurriedly drank it all.

"Teacher Zhou, you're polite. During my time with you, I have learned a lot of professional knowledge and a lot of life knowledge. ”

Zhou Kai breathed a sigh of relief happily and said, "I have no regrets in this life!" I can truly retire. ”

Chen Cheng hurriedly asked, "Then who will bring your team in the future?" ”

Zhou Kai frowned and said, "Whoever has the ability will bring it." I don't have any talk about a master-apprentice lineage. If they don't have the ability, you can take it over in the future. ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Chen Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

Zhou Kai raised his head, looked around at the mountains that had turned dark green, and said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, among these mountains, it's bitter!"

You see, among them, they are all middle-aged and elderly, where are there young people who want to stay in such deep mountains? ”

Chen Cheng nodded.

"But they are also human beings, and they also have the right to pursue a better life. Do you say that if they leave everything here, they will not be able to live if they enter the city? No.

But they stubbornly stayed here, guarding the land. It's not meaningless. Once in the city, they changed from food producers to food consumers. It's nothing for people from one village to go into the city, but what about a thousand villages, and ten thousand people from ten thousand villages have entered the city? How much should China's annual net food consumption increase?

So compared to us, they are the heroes. That's why I'm determined to help them solve their rice problems. ”

Chen Cheng also sighed: "Those who stay here are heroes. ”

Zhou Kai immediately glanced at a few researchers next to him, and said slowly: "We also have to leave a hero here." ”
