Chen Cheng was a little puzzled.

"Next year is the first season for farmers to plant new varieties of rice, just in case, I think we need to leave a technician here to guide them through the planting until the rice harvest is completed," Zhou said. ”

Chen Cheng nodded.

This is not very necessary, but it is the most responsible thing to do.

He thought about it, and originally said that he would stay, but he could think of the wheat in Hanzhong Province, as well as the experimental rice research on Zeng Lao's side, and Zeng Lao's super rice research.

There are also the affairs of the four major grain merchants.

He really doesn't have that much free time.

Zhou Kai looked at Chen Cheng's embarrassed appearance and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, don't plan to." Even if you want to stay, I won't agree.

There are so many important things that you need to do, but you can't delay the development of agricultural technology in the whole country for such a small thing. ”

Chen Cheng lowered his head embarrassedly.

Zhou Kai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Chen, if you really have a heart, you can take the time to think about how to solve the problem of getting rich in the mountainous areas of Panxi County once and for all." After all, our improved hybrid rice has only solved their food and clothing problems. ”

Chen Cheng nodded vigorously.

Then, Zhou Kai called the other seven researchers from his team.

A few people drank sake and watched the performance, already slightly drunk.

"Guys, I thought about it. Next year's rice season will be the first time farmers have planted rice, and there will definitely be a lot of problems, so I think we have to leave someone here as a technician to guide them through the first rice planting. ”

As soon as Zhou Kai's voice fell, several people were slightly stunned.

Going to the countryside to work as a technician is a chore, and you don't have to think about it.

First, life in the countryside is very hard, life is boring, not to mention the hard work, and you can't even eat a bite of takeout. Secondly, after going to the countryside, his research tasks in the institute have to be pressed back, which is undoubtedly a waste of valuable time for young people who want to use scientific research results to impact their professional titles.

Chen Cheng understands their struggle, but what if they don't want to stay?

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Kai. If this is the case, Academician Zhou may not be able to hang his face.

Zhou Kai's face was calm, and he looked at his students and disciples with a surging expression.

Suddenly, he heard several people say in unison, "I'll stay." ”

When he looked up again, he saw that all seven people raised their hands towards Zhou Kai at the same time.

Zhou Kai smiled slightly and said, "Don't stay all, there are still so many experimental plans at home." Is it possible for me, an old man, to go down to the field and plant seedlings? ”

The crowd was amused by his words.

After the laughter, several people raised their hands again and looked at Zhou Kai sincerely.

Zhou Kai took a sip of water and said, "Yongping, you stay." ”

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Wu Yongping smiled 'victorious' and raised his head to drain the wine in the glass. Several of the other researchers stumbled back to their seats.

Zhou Kai said to Wu Yongping: "Do a good job, we must ensure that the farmers have a bumper harvest of the first rice crop this year." ”

Wu Yongping shook his head hard, and then returned to his seat.

Chen Cheng asked: "Mr. Wu should be the only one in the team who can stand alone in rice technology, why did he stay?" ”

Zhou Kaidao: "He's an associate researcher, so it stands to reason that it's a bit overkill to keep him here." But I want him to suffer a little more. ”

Chen Cheng probably understood Zhou Kai's thoughts.

If you want to take on a great task, you must first work hard.

Zhou Lao is cultivating him.

"Being able to stay here for half a year in a down-to-earth manner also allows him to precipitate his technical ability." Zhou Kaidao.

Chen Cheng said: "Teacher Zhou, you really think too much about the farmers here. ”

Zhou Kai smiled and looked up at the group of peasants who were still cheering and jumping around the fire.

Their rustic joy is contagious.

Chen Cheng, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

...

The next morning, Chen Cheng got up and went directly to meet the people from the Yasi County Agricultural Bureau who had come with them, and then took him to the village chief who received them.

"Village chief, I want to buy a piglet, which is the piglet of your black pig in Panxi County." Chen Cheng said and took out two thousand yuan from his bag.

He didn't know how much a local piglet was worth, but he thought two thousand should be enough.

The village chief was puzzled: "If you want to eat pork, I'll give it to you." What do you do when you buy piglets? ”

After saying that, the village chief made a gesture to pick up the smoked pork hanging on the beams of the house.

Chen Cheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "I don't want pork, I want to study the breed of Iasi black pig." ”

"Research?" The people at the county agricultural bureau were also scratching their heads.

"This breed of pig in our county can only be raised at high altitudes, and it is also related to the food it eats. Many people from animal husbandry companies have come to inspect before, but most of them have returned in vain. A person from the Agricultural Bureau introduced.

The village chief also nodded.

Chen Cheng smiled: "It's okay, I just happened to be preparing to carry out research in this area, so I am going to buy a little pig to breed and see what technical problems there are." ”

The village chief was puzzled: "It's not that I don't sell it, even if I give it to you." It's just that we, pigs, don't have anything special when we go down the plateau. ”

While a few people were talking, Zhou Kai walked over.

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Cheng told Zhou Kai his thoughts.

"So you want to improve their Iasi black pig breed?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said: "I want to do a detailed study to see if I can break the restrictions that restrict this breed and let the Iasi black pig really go to the market." In this way, you will be able to solve the problem of poverty in the Iasi Mountains once and for all. ”

Zhou Kai nodded.

"Fellow, or you can sell him a piglet." Zhou Kai persuaded.

The humanitarian of the County Agricultural Bureau: "Academician Zhou, the fellow said that even if it is to send him." It's just that Chen Cheng is engaged in rice technology, does he still understand the technology of animal husbandry? ”

Zhou Kai said: "Engage in research, allow failure." But if you let Xiao Chen do it, even if it doesn't succeed, you can have a good harvest. You can rest assured. ”

After Zhou Kai finished speaking, the people from the county agricultural bureau nodded suspiciously.

Several people looked at the village chief, who ran away in a puff of smoke.

A few minutes later, he came with a little piglet with a straw rope around his neck.

Chen Cheng touched the wild little black pig and hugged it into his arms.

Everyone packed up and was about to set off, but they didn't expect that many peasants came from all around, all carrying things in their hands.

Some carried rice and rapeseed oil, some carried pork, and some carried a chicken and a duck.

really stunned Chen Cheng and them.

A group of people stuffed things into their hands, and Chen Cheng hurriedly refused.

One of the most energetic was the village chief, shouting slogans to everyone: "Don't be here, send them to the car at the intersection!" ”

So a group of people hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village again.

Chen Cheng couldn't catch up, so they had to follow behind.

The send-off scene where you chased me was very lively.
