The next morning.
When going to the buffet restaurant on the top floor of the hotel for breakfast, Tang, Song and Yuan met Ahmed Hussein Salluman again.
"Oh, my dear friend, how were you last night?"
This time Sal Luman asked in English, and Tang Songyuan could tell from his accent that his English was mixed with a strong British accent.
To put it simply, it’s just a bit of pretense...
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly, nodded and responded in English:
"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Highness. We had a good sleep last night, and the facilities in the suite are very comfortable."
Sal Luman was very happy after hearing this, with an approachable smile on his face:
"I'm glad to hear that, my friends. I hope you have a pleasant holiday here."
Tang Songyuan also responded politely: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. We will definitely enjoy it."
Li Qingying and Ni Sisi took the meals, and of course they didn't forget to arrange one for Tang Songyuan.
The three of them sat down in a corner of the restaurant by the window.
Li Qingying picked up a piece of grilled lamb chop with a fork and said:
"I checked, this Prince Sal Luman is the sixth heir to Qatar,"
"He has several older brothers before him. In principle, he has no fate with the throne..."
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "What use is the throne to them?"
"The Qatari royal family is in charge of hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth, there are oil and natural gas resources to sell, and the family also has investment groups,"
"As long as they are not particularly prodigal, they can spend their entire lives in a state of dissatisfaction..."
Li Qingying pursed her lips and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that Sal Luman came to Qiongdao this time to discuss with the officials the promotion of date palm cultivation."
"Choose the place near the wasteland you were interested in before..."
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "Oh? How could he think of coming to Qiongdao to promote date palm cultivation?"
Li Qingying chuckled and said, "There are many reasons for this."
"Let me put it this way, date palm is a very important crop in the Arab region, so in date palm cultivation, pest control and other issues are very important and critical."
"The domestic comprehensive control technology for date palm pests has been widely recognized internationally, which is one of the important reasons for cooperation in date palm research..."
Tang Songyuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "In other words, they don't have enough dates to eat, so they need us to help plant them, right?"
Li Qingying laughed twice, nodded and said: "The enemy!"
Tang Songyuan sighed and said, "It seems I have to change my original plan."
His original plan was to find a way to contract the desert-like land to see if he could cultivate the rare grapefruit.
Now it seems that this plan has to be brought forward.
After breakfast, Li Qingying took Ni Sisi to play nearby, while Tang Songyuan took a taxi to the edge of the desert.
This place used to be a huge wasteland, but after decades of coastal forest management, the desertification area has been reduced by two-thirds.
The effect is still very significant.
Tang Songyuan took out a complete grape fruit, and then removed a complete spore from the inner wall of the fruit.
One spore can only produce two to three grape fruits at most, but a mature grape fruit contains tens of thousands of spores.
Although there are so many spores, in the African environment, not every spore can eventually germinate successfully.
Sometimes it's even rare.
He planted the grape spores under a tree.
Then he poured some passive water on it, and then activated the ability to control plants, causing the grape spores to grow at a speed twenty times faster.
The grapefruit is best at parasitic growth and likes to be parasitic on the roots of some trees.
The growth of grapefruit requires sufficient sunlight, water and soil nutrients. The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties constantly adjusted these conditions to allow the spores to grow in the best environment.
An hour passed, and Tang Songyuan finally saw the spores begin to germinate, break out of the ground, and grow a tiny green bud.
A delighted smile appeared on Tang Songyuan's face, indicating that his efforts were not in vain.
Next, he continued to accelerate the growth, making the green shoots grow taller and thicker until they grew into a sapling half a meter high.
Tang Songyuan carefully observed the sapling and found that its leaves were full and green, its branches were tough and strong, and it looked very healthy.
He nodded with satisfaction, then took out some special fertilizer from his pocket and applied some to the sapling.
These fertilizers are specially prepared by him and contain the nutrients needed by various plants, allowing the saplings to grow more vigorously.
After applying fertilizer, Tang Songyuan poured some water on the saplings, then sat on the stone next to him and waited quietly.
But half a meter high seems to be the limit of the sapling, and it no longer continues to grow.
Tang, Song and Yuan knew that it would bloom and bear fruit next. According to past experience, this process would be shortened to three to four days at a growth rate of twenty times.
I just need to wait patiently.
And you don’t have to keep watch all the time.
Tang Songyuan stood up and planned to leave here first and come back when the fruits are ripe.
As soon as he took a few steps, his cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Ni Sisi calling.
"Song Yuan, where are you?"
"I'm out to do some errands. How was your time?"
"It's good, but..." Ni Sisi's tone was a little hesitant, "You should come back quickly, that Prince Sal Luman is here again, saying he wants to invite us to play at the beach together."
Tang Songyuan frowned slightly after hearing this. Prince Sal Luman was really haunted.
"Okay, I'll go back right now."
Back at the hotel, Tang Songyuan saw Prince Sal Luman, Li Qingying and Ni Sisi sitting in the pavilion in the hotel garden chatting.
"Oh, my friend, you are finally here." Sal Luman greeted Tang Songyuan warmly.
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and walked over, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It doesn't matter, we just arrived." Sal Luman said.
Li Qingying quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tang Songyuan coming back.
Obviously, she doesn't like the behavior of this Qatari prince.
She thinks he is too good at pretending...
Tang Songyuan gave her a calm look, looked at Sal Luman and said:
"I'm sorry, Prince Salluman. Thank you for your hospitality last night, but as we have an old saying, there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends."
"It's time for us to say goodbye to you..."
