"Is this Uncle Su?" Qi Chu looked at Su Dalin next to Wu Guixiang.
Su Dalin nodded and smiled. He was always reticent.
"Come on, you two take your seats." Qi Chu said with a smile, and the others also gave way.
The old couple of the Su family sat at the table. Without a few words of conversation, Li Xiulian and Zhang Xinlan in the kitchen started serving food.
Platefuls of fragrant dishes were brought out like water, and soon the whole table was filled. Shredded pork with green pepper, braised fish, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried ham with bamboo shoot tips...
The aroma penetrated everyone's noses. They had been busy all morning and were already hungry. Their stomachs growled as soon as the food was served.
"It's so troublesome for you to prepare such a big table of delicious food." Qi Chu said gratefully. Seeing Li Xiulian and the others walking to the kitchen, he hurriedly said, "Stop working, the table can hardly be set."
"There's also chicken soup, and there's not much else."
Zhang Xinlan and Li Xiulian entered the kitchen and filled two large bowls with the fragrant chicken soup. Each took a bowl out and placed it carefully on the table.
"Everyone, eat quickly and use your chopsticks." Wu Guixiang greeted everyone.
Qin Youfu said: "Aunt, wait a minute, there are still dishes."
Zhang Xinlan and Li Xiulian looked at each other, where is the food?
Just as he was talking, the courtyard door opened, and someone came over with several large bowls of food, which Qin Youfu had previously prepared for the inspection team. Since the inspection team had come to Su's house for dinner, it was the same thing to bring the dishes to Su's house. .
Qi Chu smiled and said: "The table really can't be set now."
"Then we won't be polite."
Everyone used their chopsticks in unison, and no one wanted to talk about work during the meal, but just chatted casually.
Although they all belong to S Province, S Province has a vast territory and a large number of people. The food tastes in the provincial capital are also somewhat different from those here, and everyone's food is a bit novel.
Qi Chu pointed to the fried ham with bamboo shoot tips, "This dish is not available in our provincial capital. It tastes really good, with the aroma of meat and the freshness of bamboo shoots."
Zhang Xinlan was stunned when she heard this, with a proud smile on her face, "Of course we don't have it anymore. This meat is called ham. It is a specialty sent by my boss from Chuncheng. I heard it is called Xuandu ham. We don’t have such a thing here.”
Qi Chu was a little surprised, "Really? That's really hard-won. Your boss over there is..."
"I'm serving as a soldier over there." The expression on Zhang Xinlan's face became even more proud.
"Oh, that's really amazing." Qi Chu gave a thumbs up, which was very flattering, "Protect your home and country, you're a man."
"Who says it's not the case? My eldest son wanted to be a soldier but he hid it from me and his father. Even if he wanted to do it, he couldn't hold back eight horses." Zhang Xinlan pretended to be helpless.
Qi Chuxiao said, "If a child has this ambition, parents should support it. I am just a child, and he has engaged in scientific research like me, otherwise I would still want to send him to join the army."
Zhang Xinlan felt as if she had met a close friend, "Yes, we are parents..."
"Okay, okay, let's eat. Why do you talk so much?" Wu Guixiang interrupted Zhang Xinlan. How could she speak so well? Did they come to chat with her? No eyesight at all.
The smile on Zhang Xinlan's face dropped, and she was speechless.
Qi Chu looked at Wu Guixiang and said, "Aunt Wu, let's chat casually. It's nothing. I also like to hear you talk about this."
"Okay, but let's eat first and then talk." Wu Guixiang said with a smile.
Su Aimin called to Qi Chu, "Come, brother Qi, have some soup. This soup has been stewed for a long time and is very fragrant."
Zhang Xinlan curled her lips secretly, how could it not be delicious? With so many ingredients, she looked at the table full of dishes and felt sour in her heart. Their family didn't even have such a good meal during the Chinese New Year. It was really unfair that this guest would eat so well.
Zhang Xinlan completely forgot that Su Qingyun paid for this meal alone, and she didn't spend any money from the family. She felt uncomfortable eating a good meal for nothing.
Soon, everyone was full of food.
Zhang De covered his stomach with one hand and waved his hand with the other, "I really can't eat anymore, I'm so full."
Qi Chu nodded, "Me too."
Everyone in the inspection team also nodded, feeling too full after eating this meal.
Zhang Xinlan raised her head proudly. She was indeed the best cook in the family.
Wu Guixiang frowned, seeing that she was getting complacent again, and shook her head in her heart, this second daughter-in-law really, if you say something nice to her, she can go to heaven.
"Okay, let's clean it up." Li Xiulian called to Zhang Xinlan to clean up the table and make room for everyone.
Now that we’ve eaten, it’s time to get down to business.
Qi Chu took the tea, took a sip, smiled and said to Su Qingyun: "Qingyun, have you considered it? Join our work."
Qin Youfu opened his eyes wide after hearing Qi Chu's first sentence, "What?" Let Qingyun girl follow them to join their work?
Su Qingyun smiled helplessly, "Uncle Qi, I still have to go to school."
Qi Chu stared, "I don't know you yet, so what does it matter if you can't study?"
The Su family opened their mouths but hesitated. Is this still important?
"Besides, I won't let you delay your studies. If the test site is set up in your village, it will be so convenient for you. You can just come and help during school hours and weekends."
Su Qingyun: "..."
"Uncle Qi, you really don't give me any time to rest."
Qi Chu was happy, "Isn't it true that those who can do more work?"
Su Qingyun looked at the sky, "Then I'd rather not be a capable person."
"Hahahaha!" Qi Chu laughed, "Then it's settled." He knew that Su Qingyun basically agreed when he said this.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded helplessly.
"It's a deal!" Qi Chu said impatiently.
Qin Youfu's eyes shone, and it was settled with one word. That girl Qingyun agreed. Wasn't Team Leader Qi's words hinting that he would choose Luoshui Village? No, that's almost made clear.
Great, great! Qin Youfu was overjoyed.
After reaching an agreement with Su Qingyun, Qi Chu stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Qingyun, tell me your opinion now."
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, seed sowing is based on the location, but ours is a test site for special wheat species. Naturally, the site is selected based on the type. The soil is relatively fertile and moist, and the land is flat, easy to irrigate and drain. In addition, it is necessary to select some different pieces of land, classify them and sow them at the same time, and strictly record the growth of this wheat species on land with various soil types, in order to draw detailed data and the most comprehensive conclusion."
Qi Chu listened carefully and nodded while listening. It wasn't until Su Qingyun stopped talking that he smiled and said: "That's very good. It's difficult to think about it comprehensively. Don't you think you understand it very well? You said you know nothing, but too humble."
The people in the inspection team were also a little surprised. They thought that Team Leader Qi recruited this girl to join the team just to do data analysis work. Unexpectedly, she did not have any research on agriculture, so joining their work would definitely be more interesting. Advantage.
"I'm just talking casually." Su Qingyun was a little embarrassed, and she looked at Qin Youfu, "Everyone in the village understands what I'm talking about, and they even know it better than me. They are the people who are most familiar with this land."
Qi Chu nodded and agreed. He was right. Although they were engaged in agriculture, no one was more familiar with this land than the farmers. After all, every grain of soil here was soaked with their sweat.
He looked at Qin Youfu and said, "Captain Qin, if this test site is opened, your help will be indispensable."
"Of course, of course." Qin Youfu was quite flattered, "We will definitely help."
What Team Leader Qi said couldn't be more obvious. Qin Youfu couldn't help but smile when he thought about the benefits that his village would get after the pilot site was launched.
The Su family didn't know what the experiment was about, but just like the people in the village, they knew it was the best thing.
After everyone chatted for a while, the inspection team was about to leave. They had to rush to the next village to have a look.
"Okay, Qingyun, Brother Su, Captain Qin, please don't send me off." Qi Chu smiled meaningfully, "We will meet again."
Qin Youfu was overjoyed, "Definitely, definitely."
After seeing off the inspection team, Qin Youfu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Su Qingyun with gratitude in his eyes, "Qingyun, you helped me a lot today." He knew that if Su Qingyun hadn't spoken in the middle, maybe The people in the inspection team would not express their preference for their village so obviously.
Su Qingyun is indispensable.
Su Qingyun didn't feel that he had played any role, "Don't say that, with Uncle Fu, our village has the advantage, otherwise why would people choose us."
The choice of a wheat test site has nothing to do with what a person says or does; it all depends on specific conditions.
"That's right." Qin Youfu nodded, "Okay, go back quickly, you are tired too."
"good."
The news that the inspection team was interested in Luoshui Village was released again for some reason, and the fact that Qi Chu invited Su Qingyun to join their work was also known to the people of Luoshui Village. The villagers did not think much other than sighing at Su Qingyun's ability. , but there is a group of people whose minds are starting to get wild again.
That was the group of intellectual young people in Luoshui Village. This group of people secretly thought in their hearts, since Su Qingyun can help, why can't they?
If the experimental site is established, it will definitely require the help of the villagers, but now that the educated and educated people in the village have gone to school to become teachers, they are the only educated young people in the whole village who have the knowledge and education to help.
A group of people were a little excited when they thought of this, but what they didn't consider at all was that the people in the inspection team didn't need help from people with knowledge and culture. There were so many of them. What they needed was people who were truly native-born and understood this land. people.
And they, a group of educated young people who don’t even know what month wheat seeds are sown, how could they be selected by the inspection team?
