After the wheat harvest was over, they were busy plowing and sowing the fields again. The work was not completed until mid-May.
After calculating the harvest at home, Hua Hong said happily: "The first season of wheat grew well this year. I harvested sixty-two sacks, kept half, and sold the rest."
"Our family has more land? Our production has doubled." Lin Yan was curious. Food is the most important foundation. How can we harvest so much if we run a restaurant by ourselves?
Huahong smiled and said: "Our family has opened five more acres of land, totaling twenty acres. We have planted sixteen acres of wheat, two acres of chestnut orchards, and two acres of cotton. Now the wheat yield per mu has increased, and some can It reaches more than 400 kilograms.”
"The seeds were improved by the Ministry of Agriculture?"
"Yes, in the past few years, the Ministry of Agriculture has taught everyone how to select improved seeds every year. They have been passed down from generation to generation, and the yield per mu has increased."
"So how much wheat can be sold?" Lin Yan felt that every household was a large grain producer. In addition to their own food, there was still a lot left. It would not be easy to sell it.
Nowadays, Mingcheng, Qingyan and Yuanye are also cultivating their own wasteland. It will definitely be difficult to sell so much food.
"We can sell as much as we want." Huahong looked cheerful. "Since the winery was opened, there has been a huge demand for food. As long as there is food, they will take it."
Lin Yan had already drank the liquor and fruit wine brewed by the winery, and they tasted pretty good.
"How much does a pound of wheat cost?"
"It depends on the situation. When the harvest is good, it costs five pounds per penny, and when the harvest is not good enough, it costs four pounds per penny."
Lin Yan feels that prices are quite stable. Two years ago, they were four pounds per penny. In the past two years, wheat has been abundant, so it is good that food prices have not fluctuated much.
Suddenly thinking of the high-yielding corn, she hurriedly asked: "Mom, don't we grow corn at home?"
Huahong shook his head, "Our family is too busy. Many other people's families grow corn, and they can sell it for a lot of money every year."
From home, Lin Yan learned a lot about the situation, and everything was developing steadily.
On this day, she went to the Research Institute. After all, as the dean, she still had to fulfill her responsibilities.
After sorting out my thoughts, I went to the Materials Institute first.
Bai Chen was immersed in the experiment. When he saw Lin Yan, he was stunned for a moment, "Please wait a moment, I can't stop the experiment."
"You go about your business, I'll look around as I please." Lin Yan looked around Bai Chen's office, which was filled with various utensils and jars, and records on the table and bookshelf.
Lin Yan casually took out a book and flipped through it. It was about experimental data on explosives.
Bai Chen was very attentive and recorded the test process and data in great detail, making it clear at a glance.
A booklet was open on the table and was half-written. Lin Yan glanced at it and thought it was a textbook.
Pick it up and read it carefully. It is indeed a tutorial, covering some basic knowledge of chemistry and experimental principles.
Bai Chen caught a glimpse and said casually: "That is a textbook compiled for school. Hua Min asked me to publish several books, from basic chemistry to advanced, from easy to difficult, for students in the future."
"Aren't current textbooks useful?"
Bai Chen nodded, "The existing chemistry textbooks are too general and the teachings are superficial. Hua Min wants the children to learn more."
"Hua Min usually seems unconventional, but she is very reassuring when doing things. She is devoted to education, and with her here, there is no need to worry about no one available in the future."
Bai Chen smiled and agreed with Lin Yan's words. He handed Lin Yan a notebook and said, "Please help me find out what is wrong here. Every test fails to achieve the expected results."
Lin Yan opened it and took a closer look. It was a synthetic record of a new type of material, and its performance did not meet theoretical expectations.
The two discussed it for several hours, and when it was time for lunch, Ye Cong came over to join them for dinner.
Shi Zhi and Feng Wenwen were busy experimenting and did not eat with them.
The research institute now has more than 100 people, and it shares the cafeteria with the neighboring school.
As soon as Lin Yan and others arrived, they attracted the attention of all the students.
The students here are all elementary and middle school students and already understand a lot.
I know the legends of Sun City very well, and seeing so many of them at once made me excited immediately.
Lin Yan and the others were surrounded as soon as they showed up, and all kinds of questions kept coming at them.
Bai Chen reacted quickly and hurriedly put up a mental barrier to cover several people to prevent them from being squeezed.
"What's the situation?" Lin Yan was a little confused. He didn't expect such a situation at all. "Do you usually come to eat like this?"
Ye Cong smiled and said: "I forgot to come late and caught up with the students' meals. We are not as popular as you. The students all come here for you."
"You did it on purpose. Today's students are so enthusiastic, it's really scary. Let's leave quickly and find a place with few people."
Ye Cong laughed loudly: "I really didn't mean it, I just forgot. You have been away for a long time, and the students admire you so much. You don't usually see people, but you rarely meet by chance, and you have to show off."
Bai Chen pointed in a direction, "Lin Yan, go over there. There is a quiet private room at the back. Ye Cong, stop talking and take Lin Yan there quickly."
Seeing the students happy and shouting at them, Lin Yan had something in his heart to break through.
She shouted to the crowd: "Don't crowd, be quiet and listen to me."
Bai Chen stopped and helped maintain order with Ye Cong.
After a while, the crowded students gradually became quiet.
Lin Yan said: "I feel your thoughts. If I have time another day, I will definitely come to the school to find you. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be impatient now. Pay attention to your steps. The older one will take care of the younger ones. First Gone."
"Be obedient and go back to class. I will keep my word."
A student took the lead to leave, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Lin Yan said nervously: "There are too many people, I'm really afraid of a stampede."
Ye Cong: "There are more than 3,000 people in the school. After the implementation of the graded and divided class system, the management is much better than before."
"How many people are there in the elite class?"
"About fifty people, gathering all the geniuses in the school." Ye Cong pointed not far away, "That's where the elite class is. You can go and have a look after dinner."
Lin Yan nodded: "Okay, students all wear the same clothes. When will the school uniforms be made?"
"More than a year ago, after the weaving and dyeing technology improved, the school customized uniforms for the students. Some students did not pay attention to hygiene, so Hua Min also had an idea to uniformly dress the children for easy management."
"Yes, I do feel better looking at it. It was a mess before, wearing everything."
Lin Yan was thinking that these children were quite obedient and were all wearing their school uniforms. Deep in my memory, students are rebellious, show off their individuality, are unwilling to wear school uniforms, and always want to be different from others.
The food in the school cafeteria is really average, incomparable to restaurants outside.
Lin Yan wasn't picky either, he would be fine if he ate some. Children today are much happier than they were at the beginning.
While they were eating, the school's principal Yu Qian hurried over with Lanya. They were delayed in news and learned that Lin Yan was coming, so they hurriedly called to hear.
