Chapter 1023 The Surprise of Blood Jade
On the other side, Wang Huzi, who had completed his work, was preparing to return to the station. After being out for two days, it was time to go back and take charge.
Just before leaving, Ma Sanxing called him to a saline-alkali land.
He came here mainly to see the tractors, but Ma Sanxing insisted on dragging him to see some salt-alkali resistant corn fields.
At first, when he heard that Yang Xiaotao had developed corn that could be seeded in saline-alkali land, he was curious about it for a while, but thinking about the situation in saline-alkali land, he didn't ask any more.
In his opinion, if it can grow, then sow it.
Anyway, as long as you reap more than you sow, it will be fine.
But when Ma Sanxing took him to his destination, the scene in front of him was different from what he imagined.
Corn grown in saline-alkali land will never grow so neatly.
It should be the kind of corn scattered in twos and threes, short and narrow in the west. How could it be like this? It shouldn't be like this.
Wang Beard had some doubts as to whether this was a saline-alkali land.
However, looking at the color on the ground, he had no doubt that this was a salt-alkali land.
But, looking at the two-meter-high corn stalks in front of him, neatly arranged in rows, with long corn cobs hanging on them, Wang Huzi had to believe it even if he didn’t dare to believe it.
Seeing Wang Huzi's shock, Ma Sanxing burst into a smile.
"Chief, these are the seeds that Teacher Yang brought before. He said they can grow on saline-alkali soil."
"It's amazing. After so many years of farming, my old man discovered that such good corn can grow in saline-alkali land for the first time."
"Look, this cob, look at the particles inside, one None of them are worse than ordinary corn.”
Ma Sanxing came here almost every day just to see with his own eyes these corns that can grow on saline-alkali soil.
Wang Huzi suppressed the shock in his heart and walked straight into the cornfield without saying anything else.
Ignoring the entanglement of corn leaves, I touched this one and pinched that one from time to time. Finally, I broke off one, peeled it off myself, and took a big bite.
born! But it’s chewy!
“Yeah, it’s delicious, haha, not bad.”
Behind him, Xiao Wu and several guards met and stood by until Wang Huzi came out with two corn cobs before he stepped forward. then.
"This piece is all about that one, blood jade?"
"Yes, Teacher Yang got the blood jade because it was planted late at that time, and it may have something to do with the variety. This blood jade Flowering and pollination are later than ordinary corn, so they mature later.”
"But, this yield, sir, is definitely better than ordinary corn."
"From one acre, you can get a harvest of three to four hundred kilograms at least."
"It used to be here. It is a saline-alkali land that cannot be planted. Even if it is planted, it may not be worth a hundred pounds, which is not enough. "
Ma Sanxing sighed, and Wang Huzi was also in an excited mood.
In the vast northwest land, there are large areas of saline-alkali land, which are not suitable for human cultivation and cultivation, so only a small part of it is used by farms.
Now, with this kind of seed, it means that the size of the farm can be doubled or even several times expanded.
In the future, not only cotton and other cash crops can be grown here in the northwest, but also this kind of corn. It will become the country's grain warehouse, feed more people, and stabilize border defenses.
“I remember Yang Xiaotao said that this kind of seeds should be stored separately and cannot be mixed with others?”
“Yes, Teacher Yang said, these are special seeds and should be stored separately. When the time comes, they should be stored separately. You can't plant them close to those corns, just like breeding."
Ma Sanxing said solemnly, and Wang Huzi nodded.
"This year will be like this. When next year starts, these seeds will be planted. In the future, with tractors, farming will be easier. You should pay more attention to this breeding matter."
Ma Sanxing nodded in understanding.
The two of them walked around the cornfield, and Wang Huzi immediately returned to the farm.
Wang Huzi picked up the phone again and reported the situation here.
"Old money, huh? The tractors are very good, very good. I agree to make a batch of them to try."
"Yes, it is very dynamic and energetic, and it is very suitable for this environment."
"There is something else I want to tell you this time."
Wang Huzi suppressed his excitement and When I told Secretary Qian about the blood jade, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
It was not until the end that he said, "I will report to my superiors."
Just when Wang Huzi was about to go back to make plans, the sky was already darkening in Sijiu City.
Yang Xiaotao was finally free. He came out of the steel factory and drove to Yangjiazhuang.
Back in Zhuangzi, I found that the large team headquarters was full of people.
When I walked in, I realized that I was actually there.
The corn harvested this time has been dried and ready for storage. Judging from everyone’s demeanor, it should be a good harvest year.
"Master, Uncle Nine, Uncle Da Zhuang."
"Hey, Xiaotao is back."
Yang Xiaotao walked in and greeted the people in the room. Everyone responded with smiles. Then he saw Teacher Hong holding a notebook and reading the numbers. The most important thing is the amount of corn harvested this time. Next to him, Uncle Jiu also has an abacus and is dialing it continuously.
Fatty Ding even rubbed his hands. Whether he can complete the task of his superiors depends on this time.
“It’s out!”
With Uncle Jiu’s last push of his left thumb, a six-digit number appeared on the abacus.
Yang Xiaotao stretched out his head and took a look. The upper bead on the far left plus the lower one were exactly six.
More than six hundred thousand.
Quite a few.
I remember that Yangjiazhuang originally only had 600 acres of land. This is the sum of the good and the bad. Counting the other two villages, the available arable land in the farm is only 1,600 to 700 acres. According to In terms of yield per mu, the yield of three to four hundred kilograms per mu is very consistent with the yield of ordinary corn.
After all, these are bred.
If Yangcun No. 1 is planted, the yield is estimated to double.
The preliminary data came out, and the room burst into laughter.
Fatty Ding stepped forward to carefully copy the data, while Yang Dazhuang was checking from the side.
Yang Xiaotao approached Teacher Hong, chatting and laughing, and handed over the fruit bag Ran Qiuye asked to bring.
Teacher Hong was not polite when he saw it. He took the bag and smiled, "My Xiao Zhang said that every time I come back, I can take advantage of your family. When this child comes out, I won't recognize him as my godmother." .”
"Haha, let's admit it, we are familiar with each other anyway."
Yang Xiaotao said indifferently, and even thought it would be good to become a godfather with Teacher Hong.
After all, this is the future six-star!
"By the way, I will go up to watch the ceremony in two days. How about it? Are you very excited?"
"Excited? It's okay, but speaking of which, how many times have you been there?"
"I think it should be four or five times." "What do you feel?"
"Feeling? Nothing at all!"
"I feel stupid It’s showing off.”
“Haha.”
The two were chatting and laughing, and on the other side, Yang Xiaotao saw two white flour bags on the ground.
"You came back just in time. These two bags are made from two kilograms of noodles produced by each family in the village. Take them with you to the car when you leave. Remember to deliver them to me."
Mr. Yang Just as he was talking to Uncle Jiu, he saw Yang Xiaotao speaking solemnly, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.
This is what he came back to do this time, although he felt a little embarrassed.
“I gained a lot this time.”
"All the seeds planted in Zhuangzi are high-quality seeds. Because the scale has been expanded this year, the number of high-quality seeds has increased by more than half compared to last year. When planting again next year, more surrounding villages will be able to use Yangcun No. 1."
"That's good. By the way, these cornmeal can't be Yangcun No. 1."
Yang Xiaotao suddenly asked, and Mr. Yang stood aside and asked. After receiving a bunch of melon kernels, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly covered his head and stood aside. He heard Yang Dazhuang and others laughing, "How can we bother grinding such good seeds?"
"Everyone in our village has a share. , this is what we agreed on last time, and we will give it to several surrounding villages together.”
“Oh, that’s it, haha”
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "What about planting wheat next?"
"Well, we'll start after the National Day. By the way, all the tractors in the village have been replaced by diesel engines this time, so it's really fast. "
Yang Dazhuang sighed, this diesel engine is faster than the steam version, and it doesn't have so many problems. It doesn't have to run and stop to add coal and water, which wastes fuel.
“Are the supporting equipment complete?”
“It’s complete. All the ones used on steam tractors in the past can be used. You don’t know, the surrounding villages are thinking about getting one. This one is the best. Half the brigade is here.”
"Yes, Xiaotao, your machinery factory needs to produce more. The more machines we have, the more we can do."
Yang Jiushu and the others were also talking, seeing the benefits of tractors and their cheapness. , everyone looked down upon the previous working methods.
"Don't worry, after the integration of the machinery factory, the production of tractors will increase day by day. It won't be long before the whole country will be using it."
"That's great."
< br>Everyone laughed, Yang Xiaotao wanted to go back quickly, so he carried two solid bags of cornmeal into the car, then picked up Mr. Yang in the car and went back to Sijiucheng together. This time Mr. Yang wanted to see the scene.
In the car, Mr. Yang handed a small book to Yang Xiaotao.
"What is this?"
"See for yourself."
Yang Xiaotao was surprised. When he opened it, he saw a sentence written at the beginning of the first page.
Looking at the handwriting, it looks like a student’s handwriting.
"Gift to those closest to you."
"Dear Chief, we are villagers of Yangjiazhuang. Our village was originally"
"Now, we have been able to be self-sufficient. Every day we Every child can have enough to eat and grow up happily under the red flag"
"Grandpas told us that we should never forget the well digger when we are drinking water. We have a good life today because of you, who provide us with a carefree blue sky."
"So, we will The fruits of the harvest are given to you dearest, and I wish you good health.”
"This, this"
"This is what the villagers asked for. They are afraid that if you send it, they won't accept it. With this, no one can say anything."
"Okay."
Yang Xiaotao put the pamphlet away and then smiled and said, "Am I the hope of the whole village?"
"Hurry and leave."
Mr. Yang leaned against the co-pilot and squinted his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then drove the car and said goodbye to Yang Dazhuang and others.
After returning to the courtyard, it was getting very late.
Yang Xiaotao moved the cornmeal home, and people around him were curious when they saw it.
However, after knowing that it is cornmeal, many people are psychologically disgusted.
The third aunt was especially jealous. Those two bags of cornmeal would last at least half a year if she left them at home.
Yan Fugui came back with a fishing rod and a fish bucket. He went fishing this afternoon and caught two small fish. Fortunately, he was able to make some soup.
Just seeing Yang Xiaotao carrying the dough bag home, my eyes felt a little painful.
Qin Huairu looked at Auntie's door, with envy in their eyes.
However, envy is envy, but there is no thought at all.
They also know the relationship between the two families over the years.
They are lucky to live in peace and quiet like this.
"Huairu, have you visited Zhuzhu recently?"
Aunt asked, Qin Huairu shook his head, "The coal yard is far away, and besides, Zhuzhu is busy, and I have children here. Take care of her"
The aunt sighed, the two of them talked, and Qin Huairu wanted to go home.
Looking at Qin Huairu's leaving figure, the aunt shook her head.
These days, Qin Huairu has a lot of money, but...
How can she, a woman, not know where the money comes from?
“What a pity for the pillars.”
“Is there an extra dog in the house?”
As soon as Mr. Yang entered the door, he saw the big black dog standing up, but he had a collar around his neck and didn't pay attention.
"Well, I'm looking for Wangcai!"
"My name is Hei Niu."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, this name was given by Ran Qiuye, it was very appropriate.
In the house, Ran Qiuye pushed the two girls out, and little Duanwu followed behind. When he saw the master coming, he immediately ran forward with his calves.
"Oh, slow down, slow down!"
My grandpa took two steps forward and held the little guy in his arms, "It's sinking again, haha!"
"My lord, come into the house quickly. ! "
Ran Qiuye said, and the old man walked into the house with the child in his arms.
