Chapter 93 Gift (medium cup! More updates)
Unknowingly.
Another four days passed.
Jiang Miao is still selecting genetically mutated Camellia oleifera seeds.
At the same time, some potential genetically mutated camellia seeds were planted in the experimental greenhouse of Nanhu Farm.
As soon as seedlings are planted, secondary screening can be carried out and group cultivation of seedlings can begin.
Yes, Camellia oleifera can also quickly expand the size of its seedlings through tissue culture technology. This technology was initially researched in 1986, and it is now an extremely mature technology.
In the past few days, Jiang Miao has successively selected 1,375 benign mutant tea seeds from 600,000 genetically mutated tea seeds.
The number of the Oil King series has been increased to No. 11.
The title of Oil King No. 1 with the highest oil output per acre only lasted for two days. It also lost this title and was replaced by Oil King No. 7.
The oil output of Youwang No. 7 per mu can reach 230 kilograms under ideal conditions, and this variety also has the characteristics of high oil content and fast growth. However, it has poor cold resistance and cannot be planted in areas north of the Yangtze River.
This yield has already caught up with the domestic oil palm grown in Qiongzhou.
Although it is not as good as the yield of oil palm in Southeast Asia, which can easily reach 300 kilograms of crude oil per mu.
However, there is not much competition between the two, because palm oil focuses on the industrial oil market and is rarely sold directly as daily cooking oil. At most, it is mixed with blended oils.
Tea seed oil is a top-quality edible oil, and its main market direction is edible oil for daily cooking.
However, Jiang Miao knows that it will take at least two or three years for the Oil King series to really take off.
This is also the trouble with woody oil crops.
With more than a dozen good varieties in hand, Jiang Miao has also postponed the screening of camellia oleifera varieties. If his old classmate Li Hao really wants to grow camellia oleifera, he can also come up with some new varieties to cope with it, so as not to break his trust.
I redirected my energy to durian.
Inside the genetically modified laboratory in the experimental area.
Jiang Miao planted the 300 tissue-cultured transgenic kapok seedlings he had cultivated some time ago in a special nutrient bowl, and also designated a tissue culture room as an exclusive cultivation room for the transgenic kapok seedlings.
Because he has removed part of the gene fragments that restrict growth in the transgenic kapok, the efficiency of the root system in absorbing nutrients has been enhanced, as well as the photosynthetic efficiency of the leaves.
In just the past ten days, the seedlings that were only the size of a little finger have now grown to a height of more than ten centimeters, growing at a rate of almost one centimeter a day.
Of course, this kind of growth is not unlimited. Jiang Miao has made relevant genetic restrictions. As long as it grows for more than half a year, the transgenic kapok will not continue to grow taller, but will instead grow horizontally, expanding the diameter of the stem and increasing the number of side buds. Probability of germination.
In other words, the genetically modified kapok will not be taller than 2 meters.
The purpose of this design is to ensure that the overall tree height will not exceed 3 meters after the second grafting, thereby dwarfing the durian tree.
The genetically modified kapok seedlings are already quite large.
Jiang Miao began to try grafting durian branches without waiting for them to continue to grow.
The reason why ordinary kapok was not grafted first is that these transgenic kapok itself was designed with ordinary kapok as the female parent. In addition, Jiang Miao removed some gene fragments related to immune rejection. The difference between transgenic kapok and ordinary kapok During this time, the probability of graft rejection is only about one in 10,000.
Therefore, he chose to test the grafting compatibility of durian and transgenic kapok first.
Since there is an identification panel, as long as the grafting is successful, Jiang Miao will be able to see the grafting situation of the two in about ten days, including which genes are in conflict, and he can make secondary adjustments to the genes of the transgenic kapok based on the situation. sequence.
Some fresh durian buds were selected and grafted on the lateral branches of transgenic kapok.
He worked hard for most of the day before grafting 400 durian buds onto 100 transgenic kapok seedlings.
Now just wait and see how it will grow and heal in a dozen days.
After finishing this matter, he just walked out of the laboratory.
Then he saw Jiang Haibo who was beaming with joy.
"Hai Bo, what's the happy news?"
Jiang Haibo looked around and then whispered: "Boss, the news this morning is that the domestic branch of Baishan Investment has been sealed. I heard that it involves cases of profit transfer and leakage."
"Oh? It's really a good thing!" Jiang Miao smiled faintly.
Jiang Haibo felt the same way: "Yes! This kind of investment crocodile has intricate connections at home and abroad. If it really has any thoughts about our company, it will definitely be a big trouble. Now that something has happened to them, we will definitely have no time to take care of them in the short term. We It can develop smoothly for a while.”
After Jiang Miao washed her hands, she took out a paper towel and wiped it. She looked up at Jiang Haibo and said, "Yeah. By the way, Haibo, please prepare to recruit a group of real estate-related talents in the near future, especially management."
< br>
"Oh? The company is preparing for the real estate industry?"
"It's another company under my name, but I'll let you do the hiring first."
"I understand." Jiang Haibo knew that the company was going to build houses for employees, so starting a real estate company was an inevitable choice.
The two came to the lunch box rack in the restaurant. Jiang Haibo took one casually, while Jiang Miao took the box with his name on it, and the two found another seat.
After sitting down, Jiang Miao opened the lunch box and said: "For the development of the real estate company, I will directly fund it personally. Please help me deal with the possible legal risks."
"No problem. As long as it is the boss's after-tax income and not transferred directly from the company's public account, there is generally not much legal risk." Jiang Haibo did not feel embarrassed by Jiang Miao's instructions.
After all, what legal and financial personnel worry about most is that the boss will evade taxes, wipe the other party's back, or even take the blame.
Jiang Miao has no idea of tax evasion. It is easiest to handle his legal affairs and finance. He does not have to worry about one day going to Tilanqiao for further studies.
Right now.
Shuya walked out of the laboratory carrying a box.
Jiang Haibo quickly picked up the lunch box and said with a smile: "I won't disturb the boss and the boss's wife."
After saying that, he rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran to another table to eat.
Jiang Miao shook her head with a dumb smile.
Shuya, who had taken her own lunch box, saw Jiang Haibo, who was opposite Jiang Miao just now, running to the next table with a hint of helplessness on his face:
"Vice President Jiang is too outspoken."
"Haha, no, no, I won't take up my seat after I've discussed things with Mr. Jiang." Jiang Haibo waved his hands, and then immersed himself in his food.
Jiang Miao changed the subject: "What's in the box?"
"A surprise." Shuya raised her eyebrows, then opened the lunch box: "Guess what."
"I won't guess anymore, otherwise how can it be called a surprise?" Jiang Miao shook his head. In fact, he could probably guess what was inside the box without the identification panel.
"Okay! After dinner, let's open it together."
"Then I'll wait and see."
The two of them did not change their eating rhythm in order to see what was inside the box. They continued to eat carefully and slowly for more than twenty minutes.
But Jiang Haibo, who was worried about being a light bulb, finished his meal in less than ten minutes and then disappeared into the restaurant.
After lunch.
Jiang Miao and Shuya came to the lounge on the third floor.
"It's time to witness the miracle..." Shuya opened the incubator, and inside was a white truffle the size of a tennis ball.
Jiang Miao looked at the white truffle and then smiled and congratulated her on her achievement: "It seems that you have succeeded. Congratulations on taking the first step."
"Thank you, Amiao!" Shuya rushed over to him with tears in her eyes, and then hugged his waist: "Without your support, I might not be able to do all this in my life."
Jiang Miao patted her back gently: "To congratulate you on your success, I also have a gift for you."
"You also prepared a gift?" Shuya wiped her tears and was full of doubts.
Jiang Miao took out a jewelry box from the safe on the third floor and handed it to Shuya: "Open it and take a look!"
"What is it? It's mysterious." Shuya took it and opened the box.
A light sky-blue glass jade bracelet was quietly placed on the velvet base of the box.
Shuya was a little surprised: "Is this an jade bracelet? It's really beautiful..."
"I opened a piece of material some time ago and came out with six bracelets. I left one for you. Do you like it?" "Yes!" Shuya put the bracelet on her hand, the size was just right: "Thank you, Amiao."
Shuya played with the bracelet for a while, then turned her attention back to the white truffles in the incubator.
"Amiao, I think the large-scale propagation technology of white truffles has matured. According to my estimation, it only needs to adjust the temperature, humidity, light, and add specific materials. Under the premise of ensuring the flavor of white truffles, we can The growth cycle of white truffles is compressed to about three months.”
"This time is enough." Although Jiang Miao had a plan to further compress the growth time to about two months, he did not say it out loud.
Shuya picked up the piece of white truffle: "It will take about three months to grow to the size of a tennis ball. I personally think this stage is the most cost-effective. If you want to continue cultivating it, although it can continue to grow, the growth rate will definitely not be much faster. ”
She has been doing relevant experiments for more than a month, and found that after the first five weeks of cultivation, the white truffles can enter the bud stage. From this stage, the growth rate of the white truffles is really fast, and it is also a flavor substance. At its fastest accumulation, this stage lasts about six weeks.
After high-speed growth, the growth rate of white truffles will drop a lot, probably because the specific nutrients in the material package are consumed a lot. In the next three weeks, the growth rate will show a gradual downward trend.
The entire cycle lasts for 14 weeks, and in about 98 days, a hundred truffles will turn into white truffles the size of tennis balls.
If you want to continue to make white truffles bigger, there are only two ways.
One is to use a larger material bag at the beginning to ensure that the total nutritional content of the material bag can allow the white truffles to grow larger.
Another way is to apply specially formulated nutrients again.
However, after Shuya's research, she believed that these two methods were not cost-effective.
The first method will cause the bags to become larger, thereby increasing the space occupied by a single bag and prolonging the growth cycle.
In this case, it is better to directly increase the number of bags.
The second method involves bacterial contamination and greatly extends the growth cycle.
With this free time, it is better to start the next round of cultivation directly after harvesting.
Jiang Miao cut a small piece, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
The first thing that hits your nose is the rich earthy smell, which is a strong aroma similar to moist soil.
Aromas of mushrooms and nuts follow, which are somewhat complex and deep, followed by hints of sweetness and spiciness, which blend together to create its unique flavour.
With such a subtle aroma, white truffle is not as straightforward as some other ingredients, but needs to be savored carefully.
At the same time, the taste of white truffle is so unique that it is difficult to replicate with other ingredients.
He called up the wild white truffle data previously recorded on the identification panel, compared it with the data on artificially cultivated white truffles, and found that there were subtle differences between the two, but not much.
The biggest difference is that the earthy smell of wild white truffles is more pungent, while the artificial white truffles are relatively softer, which is more suitable for Chinese eating habits.
Of course, another advantage of artificial white truffles is that their sweetness is about 36% higher than that of wild white truffles.
Jiang Miao put the fungus back into the incubator, then raised his head and looked at Shuya: "Aya, I will conduct a grafting experiment on genetically modified kapok and durian in the near future. I will leave the mass production of white truffles to you. You Just discuss it with Lu Weibin and treat it as a break for the next few days. I will go out with you to relax after a while.”
"It doesn't matter. After doing scientific research for more than half a year, it's really time to slow down." Shuya stretched.
afternoon.
In front of the office building of Nanhu Farm.
Lin Shuya, Li Wenna, and An Ning walked over and looked at the very busy packaging workshop.
A temporary team of more than a dozen middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s quickly picked, packed, weighed, packed and sealed the boxes, and then handed them over to a few regular employees to label and post express orders.
At present, the farm's 100 acres of strawberries have entered the fruiting period, and about 2,000 kilograms of strawberries can be picked every day. This is the production capacity after excluding part of the strawberry greenhouses that need to take turns to rest, fertilize and spray pesticides every month.
2,000 kilograms doesn’t seem like much.
But in fact, based on the best-selling one-kilogram package in the online store, there are 2,000 servings per day, nearly 60,000 servings per month.
In order to ensure quality, there is no way to mechanize picking and sorting of strawberries, and all can only be done manually.
The middle-aged and elderly women in Nanhu Village and town are eager to work as temporary workers at Nanhu Farm.
After all, temporary workers on the farm are paid on a piece-rate basis. Picking 1 kilogram of strawberries costs 1 yuan. There is no problem in picking 200 kilograms a day. If Lu Weibin hadn't asked for quality assurance, those women could have done it faster.
Even the Shunfeng Express Station in Magong Town has benefited from it. After all, one or two thousand express delivery services per day can quickly fill a container.
"The boss lady is here!" An old lady greeted with a smile while wrapping tape.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Lin Shuya smiled and nodded, then asked the order clerk on the side: "Xiao Wang, is Manager Lu here?"
The order maker pressed the pause button and thought for a while: "The manager seems to have gone to inspect the new greenhouse."
"Thank you, get busy!" Lin Shuya walked to the greenhouse area with Li Wenna and An Ning.
The rice fields on both sides of the road are already in the earing stage, and they are lush and green. At the end are rows of white greenhouses. However, it is summer, and the greenhouse films have all been rolled up.
To the west of the solar greenhouse, in the area halfway up the hillside, is a steel structure factory building of more than 150 acres. This is a fully controlled intelligent greenhouse prepared for white truffles and other rare fungi. After more than three months of construction, , has been fully completed and can be put into use at any time.
Walked for a while.
She saw Lu Weibin and his assistant.
"Researcher Lin, the boss didn't come with you?" Lu Weibin looked at the greenhouse behind Lin Shuya, but did not find Jiang Miao.
Lin Shuya shook his head: "He is currently doing a research, and I came here specifically to see Manager Lu."
"Oh? What are your orders from Researcher Lin?"
"That's right, the large-scale artificial cultivation technology of white truffles has been researched."
Lu Weibin's eyes widened: "Is it done?"
He couldn't believe his ears, and exclaimed in his heart: 'Holy crap! Could it be that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together? The boss and his wife are both so awesome? ’
At the same time, Lu Weibin also felt that his IQ had been crushed several times. The gap between people was sometimes greater than the gap between people and pigs.
Lin Shuya didn't have Jiang Miao's ability to see through people's hearts, so she naturally didn't know the mixed feelings in Lu Weibin's heart. She smiled and repeated: "Manager Lu, the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles has been completed, and preparations can begin now. It’s about production.”
Lu Weibin reacted and quickly replied: "These 150 acres of smart greenhouses are ready for use, and the supporting facilities such as the batching room and monitoring room specially planned by the boss have been completed."
"Then start purchasing raw materials!"
"Researcher Lin, let's go to the office to talk! It's not convenient here."
"Okay." Lin Shuya nodded.
In fact, after learning the lesson of the secret eel special feed being stolen.
Jiang Miao has made various preparations.
Including mixing various raw materials with the raw materials needed for eel farms and purchasing them together, and also deliberately adding more than a dozen ambiguous and useless raw materials to the purchase list.
At the same time, the manual batching process has been eliminated, and some very important and relatively small raw materials are batched using a special fully automatic mixer.
For the part of secondary ingredients that requires manual assistance, employees will not be told the specific dosage. They will be divided into several processes as much as possible to reduce the need for a single employee to control the equipment.
The reason for the need for secondary ingredients is that seven raw materials are used in relatively large amounts, including pine needles, pine cones, pine sawdust, two specific types of soil, hydrated lime, and a natural phosphate.
As long as the outside world is interested in these raw materials, they can definitely collect relevant information.
But Jiang Miao was already prepared.
For example, pine needles, pine cones, and pine wood chips may look ordinary, but they actually have big doors inside.
For example, when using masson pine as raw material, the dosage is different from using pitch pine, Huashan pine, and cedar as raw materials, and the proportions of pine cones, pine needles, and pine sawdust are also different.
These ratios require special attention to achieve the best results from the ingredients.
As for those two special soils, they are actually distributed in most places in the south of the country. However, in order to cover up, the company plans to use construction raw materials from real estate companies as a cover-up, and purchase several more types of soil to further confuse the outside world to distinguish.
At the same time, the batching room must be fully closed, and employees who come into contact with the ingredients are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving their personal belongings. When inoculating bacteria, they must also wear protective clothing, gloves, and helmets.
After all, if employees don't wear gloves, they may get a little bit of soil out of the gaps between their fingernails.
Anyway, both the incubation room and the batching room need to maintain a sterile environment. Let's be more direct and provide employees with full protective clothing, respiratory helmets, plastic gloves, and plastic long waterproof boots, which not only ensures the health of employees, but also enhances confidentiality.
