In the evening, Li Weidong stayed in the Sixth Farm, and Zhao Haifeng really took out his treasured good wine and entertained Li Weidong well.

However, on the table, there was an extra pot of boiled sweet potatoes.

The ones that were just dug up today.

Compared with Zhao Haifeng, who said that it was delicious, Li Weidong tasted it, it was a little dry, a little choking, and there was almost no sweetness.

It can't be compared with the small smoked potatoes or sweet potatoes of later generations.

However, for people nowadays, especially those in rural areas, the main thing they usually eat is stick noodles, and in winter, the whole family gathers around and can cook a pot of sweet potatoes, or cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and cook them on the stick noodles, which is a rare delicacy.

It's hot, and it fills your stomach, so you won't be hungry in the middle of the night and have a stomachache, so you can only pour cold water into your stomach.

In the era when there was no chemical fertilizer, or chemical fertilizer had not really been popularized, all the fertilizer used was farmyard, and the output of grain in the field was far from ushering in a jump.

Therefore, Li Weidong knows very well what sweet potatoes that have increased their yield by at least 40% in the same land and the same planting have increased by at least 40%.

Moreover, the adaptability of sweet potatoes is far stronger than that of other grains.

It is precisely because of this that Li Weidong did not choose wheat or corn, but chose sweet potatoes that could not be used as staple food.

Because if it is really wheat, even if the yield is increased, how can the common people be willing to eat it?

In the end, it will be replaced with cheaper stick noodles or sweet potatoes.

Because it's a much higher yield.

No one grabbed it.

But at the moment, the cultivation of the experimental field is only the first step, and the next step is to need Zhang Xingwu's side to carry out publicity.

In fact, with Li Weidong's relationship, people can also be found, and even at a higher level.

It's not that he is reluctant to find a relationship, but at the moment, just the success of a small-scale experimental field is not worthy of huge publicity, otherwise it may be easy to make jokes.

So it's just right to take it one step at a time.

When it is really necessary to carry out large-scale promotion, it must be used, and it will not be stingy, but at that time, it will not be propaganda, no one is a fool, and Weidong No. 1, which has increased the yield by more than forty percent, will not be planted, but will also plant those with low yields?

So at that time, the relationship around him, what he really had to do was to protect him and prevent someone from picking peaches.

Anyway, Li Weidong made Weidong No. 1, which is both public and selfish.

And he never denied it.

After eating, Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai left, but they did not go back to the dormitory immediately, but walked around the farm and watched the changes that have taken place on the farm these days.

Although it was night, the moonlight was not bad today, and the sky above them was not polluted at this time, and the bright Milky Way lay above the heads of the two of them.

"Let's get married."

Suddenly, Li Weidong grabbed Zhou Xiaobai's hand.

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaobai only felt a buzz in his head.

Although she already knew that there would be such a day, after all, the two were not privately agreed for life, but the parents of both sides had already met and agreed.

But didn't you say that you would get engaged first, and then wait for Li Weidong to graduate before getting married?

Why did you say such a thing so suddenly today?

And, to get married?

Want to marry Li Weidong?

If Zhou Xiaobai is unwilling, it must be fake, her heart has long been pinned on Li Weidong's body, and he is inside and out.

But when she suddenly heard this, she seemed overwhelmed, and even couldn't speak with excitement.

"I, I ......"

Seeing her like this, Li Weidongri couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose, and then continued: "There is a saying that plans are not as fast as changes, originally I thought about getting engaged first and then getting married, but this will, I suddenly feel that we can be faster, just get married directly."

What do you think? ”

Although Li Weidong was asking, there was an undoubted domineering in his tone.

Zhou Xiaobai, who was speechless, could only nod in the end.

Marrying Li Weidong, why didn't she agree?

After all, this is also something she has been looking forward to for a long time.

"Then it's decided, I'll go to your house to propose marriage, and then let's discuss a good day, and the marriage will be done before the year."

Li Weidong said simply.

Originally, he wasn't in such a hurry, but during this time, the quiet life in school made him want to settle down all of a sudden.

After seeing Zhou Xiaobai again today, he couldn't suppress that impulse.

So I just brought it up.

"Okay."

After adapting to this meeting, although Zhou Xiaobai's heart was still beating fast, almost jumping out of his throat, and his face was like fire, at least he could speak.

"Let's go, I'll send you back to the dormitory, and you can rest early."

Subsequently, Li Weidong sent Zhou Xiaobai back to the dormitory, and then the two kept warm for a while, and with strong self-control, Li Weidong left Zhou Xiaobai's dormitory.

Although he knew that if he wanted to, Zhou Xiaobai would definitely not refuse him.

But he also knows that Zhou Xiaobai is actually a very traditional girl in her bones.

So on that day, he didn't want to pick it early, but waited until the moment of the wedding night.

The next morning, Zhang Xingwu came here with reporters from several daily newspapers and several model workers.

It seems that he was not idle last night, otherwise this group of people would not have come so early.

This group of people obviously knew something about this side, and although Zhang Xingwu swore and promised, they were still skeptical.

Especially after seeing Li Weidong, this is even more so.

After all, Li Weidong is too young, can he breed and improve sweet potatoes that increase yields by 40 percent?

Although there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, it also scores the industry.

Like cultivating and improving sweet potato varieties, it is not so simple.

But they didn't question it, what the truth is, it will soon be solved, they just came to verify the weight of the yield per mu, and then report the matter.

As for whether it was cultivated by Li Weidong or not, someone naturally investigated it clearly.

Sometimes it's even better to be controversial.

Naturally, they can also be taken seriously, and there can be more news to dig up.

It's a win-win-win

The model workers who were found by Zhang Xingwu were also not interested in Li Weidong, and what really interested them was naturally the sweet potatoes in the experimental field.

Moreover, they are not stupid, they know that they measured the number of acres of land first, and after confirming that it was one acre, they walked around next to each other, and found no signs of deliberate transplantation, and the distance between each sweet potato plant was just right.

Unlike in the past, in order to deceive, even the wheat in other fields was cut and inserted into another field to disguise the appearance of a good harvest.

But in fact, you can see at a glance whether it is true or false.

Eventually, that bubble was punctured.

Since then, when it comes to the issue of grain production, everyone has taken it seriously and resolutely put an end to fraud.

What's more, they came here today to verify and be a witness, which is equivalent to using their identity and reputation as a guarantee.

If there is fraud here, their reputation will be ruined after it is exposed.

If Zhang Xingwu hadn't been kind to them at the beginning, they wouldn't have vouched for this kind of thing.

Subsequently, under their supervision and even with their personal participation, another acre of experimental fields was cleared out, and the whole process, these people were extremely serious, and even simply lay on the ground, studying whether they secretly buried sweet potatoes underneath.

Each sweet potato plant is pulled out, and even the rhizome is fresh.

With that serious look, I almost took a magnifying glass to watch.

But the more serious they are, the more revealing they are.

In this process, the reporters of the daily newspapers kept taking pictures of these scenes with their cameras, and Zhang Xingwu did not show his face less, and even selected the largest sweet potato with an excited face and was frozen by the camera.

On the contrary, it was Li Weidong, although the other party offered to take pictures of him, anyway, these new varieties are named after the other party, Weidong No. 1.

So as the cultivator of Weidong No. 1, it is normal to show your face.

But he was rejected by Li Weidong.

He does need fame, but he doesn't need to be in the newspaper, and he can't be in the newspaper to expose his photograph in a grand manner.

Even, even if a reporter secretly took a photo, he would be detained when he came back to the newspaper.

Because of Li Weidong's level of secrecy, it is impossible for him to appear in the newspaper.

But just the name, or just the name of the new variety Weidong No. 1, is still no problem.

And in these years, there are not 1,000 but 800 people named Li Weidong.

In the absence of photos, who would connect the two of them?

After some careful inspection, this acre of sweet potatoes was quickly harvested, and then it was still repeated.

Unexpectedly, the weight of this acre of sweet potatoes is even more than yesterday's two acres, directly reaching 1921 catties.

It's not just a matter of 40 percent, it's close to a 50 percent increase.

Such a bountiful harvest is naturally exciting.

Especially those model workers, they can be sure that there is no fraud in the sweet potatoes on this acre of land, and they are all real.

If chemical fertilizer is not secretly added in the planting process, then once it is popularized, it will be inevitable that the production of sweet potatoes in the country will increase.

And the reporters of the daily newspapers also took enough photos and recorded the entire process of these Weidong No. 1 from the beginning to the cultivation and then to the current experimental field, which are all first-hand information.

Especially when reporting, there must be these narratives to increase the authenticity.

After these reporters and model workers left, Zhang Xingwu did not stop there, but brought a few more over the next day, repeating yesterday's process.

Even on the third day, he didn't know where to find a few sweet potato experts, but this time, it was obviously different from the previous two times.
