I can extract side effects

Spring plowing is approaching, and the Seed Street in the North District of Lushi City, Anhui Province has ushered in another year's peak season.

On the more than 100-meter-long street, there are one seed shop after another.

At this moment, large advertisements are hung in front of each store, and the loudspeakers are repeated repeatedly, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Super soybean seeds are on the market, welcome to buy."

"Super soybeans with a yield of one thousand catties per mu have arrived. If you want to buy them, hurry up."

"Disease-resistant, high-yielding, high-protein super genetic soybeans are cheap and large quantities are favorable."

People were coming and going on the street, and it was very lively. When people heard the loud advertisement, they couldn't help but stop and watch.

These people looked dark and strong, honest and friendly, most of them were farmers who came to purchase seeds.

At the moment, many people are attracted by the advertisement, can't help but walk into the store and ask the boss.

"Boss, is your soybean seed real or fake? Can it produce a thousand catties per mu?"

The boss is a middle-aged fat man, his chest is pounding.

"Really! I am a genuine dealer, look at this manufacturer, Syngenta, this is a famous brand!"

A farmer whispered: "I bought fake seeds from you last year. Why are you selling the real ones all of a sudden?"

These words fell into the ears of others, and immediately caused a burst of laughter.

The boss's face remained unchanged, and he pointed at the distributor's authorization letter hanging on the wall with joy, and shouted loudly.

"Look at the wall. This is a formal power of attorney. You can call to inquire about it. It is absolutely authentic. If you fake it, you will pay ten!"

"My store has been open for almost twenty years. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I will find technicians for you and provide planting technical services."

While talking, the boss picked up a stack of old newspapers from the cabinet and distributed them to the farmers who entered the door one by one.

"Come on, come on, take a look at this newspaper, it's all in the news, can there be fake ones?"

The newspapers are full of news reports from the first time Super Soybean came out, and they are all front-page headlines, with shocking figures filled between the lines.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a farmer suddenly patted his head and said.

"I remembered, my baby told me last year, this super soybean is so powerful, it's all on TV, it should be true."

"It turns out that this is a super soybean. I also have an impression. It seemed to be very popular last year. I asked around and wanted to buy this seed, but it was out of stock in the store. I have been thinking about it. I didn't expect to be able to buy it so soon. .”

Most people have an impression of this news. At this time, under the reminder of others, they all think of the legend of the sensational super soybean.

The boss stood aside and kept explaining, frothing.

"It was just successfully developed in the laboratory last year, and it will be mass-produced this year. To be honest, the yield per mu may not reach 1,000 jin, but five or six hundred jin is definitely no problem. I can guarantee it!"

"The seeds are in sufficient supply this time. They have just been launched for an event, and the original price is 40% off. After passing this village, there will be no such store."

"By the way, this kind of seed is very popular in the market now. Everyone looks for the brand authorization letter and buys it from a regular store. Don't buy fake ones. It's a small thing to waste money, but it's a big thing to delay the spring plowing."

What? New product special, 40% off?

Wouldn't that be cheaper than imported genetically modified soybean seeds?

Yields are also higher than imported soybean seeds.

It's a great deal too!

The farmers suddenly opened their eyes wide, and their eyes were shining.

"Give me two bags!"

Someone couldn't hold back, rushed forward, and quickly left with a few bags of seeds in their hands.

The other people were also excited, and they stepped forward and asked in a hurry. After asking for a long time, they all placed orders one after another.

Looking at this fiery scene of selling goods, the boss couldn't help but feel happy.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang in his ear.

"Boss, your business is good. You don't need to crack down on counterfeits this time."

The boss looked up, and a vicissitudes of face came into view, which looked familiar.

He immediately remembered who it was, and walked forward with a smile on his face, saying hello: "Hey, this is a rare visitor, Lao Li, long time no see, what are you doing this time?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "Look at my memory, what else are you doing to defend your rights? This time, you're here to crack down on counterfeiting again?"

Li Dong lazily leaned against the cabinet next to him, with a dispirited expression on his face: "Last year, relying on the information you provided, we knocked down an infringing seed production base in Yili, and achieved excellent performance. This year is probably going to be a dead end."

The boss smiled and said: "This year, everyone has become a good person and sold super soybeans. Few companies sell deck seeds. Why don't you work more easily?"

He suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over and said, "Actually, there are fake super soybeans. I heard that a bunch of unscrupulous people who killed thousands of dollars took genetically modified soybean seeds and sold them as super soybean seeds. It is said that they have deceived many people... .”

Li Dong suddenly lifted his spirits: "Great, I didn't come in vain, I knew that every time I look for you, I will gain something, brother, you are my noble person."

The boss smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "That's not true, I'll help you find out, these fake goods sellers dare to rob my customers, I'm so impatient. "

*****

Haishi, just after the Spring Festival, the supermarket is crowded with people.

Not long after Zhang Yan got married, she was in a nearby supermarket shopping for the couple's weekend meals.

Because I stayed at home during the Spring Festival holiday and had to cook every day, the cooking oil was consumed very quickly, and it had bottomed out.

So I pushed the cart and came to the cooking oil area, ready to buy a new bottle to take home.

Arowana, Lu Hua, Orchid Flower...

She walked past one brand of cooking oil without even looking at it, and walked straight to Fulinmen at the front.

Zhang Yan's husband is a legendary little pink, who only buys domestic products. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she will try to pick some domestic brands when buying things to avoid her husband complaining.

Last year, the overwhelming news was promoting the wolfish ambitions of the four major grain merchants, harming domestic soybeans, and monopolizing the edible oil industry.

After learning that the commonly eaten arowana and orchids were not domestic products, their family immediately turned to Fulinmen, and other foods such as rice, flour, and soy sauce were also replaced by COFCO’s brands.

In her husband's words, people who are not of my race must have a different heart, and they will never give the enemy a chance.

She walked to the counter of Fulinmen with ease, and was suddenly taken aback.

I don't know when, a series of brand new soybean oil was quietly placed here, neatly arranged.

The body of the 5L barrel is written in bold characters:

"Extra-pressed soybean oil, derived from super soybeans in the black soil experimental field, new in season, high-quality selection, rich in linoleic acid, vitamin E, and rich lecithin, full-bodied fragrance, without any additives, nutritious and healthy .”

“Super soybeans!”

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly brightened. She had also heard of the famous super soybeans, which seemed to be improved by using the most advanced and cutting-edge gene editing technology, with high yield, high protein and high nutrition.

The row of soybean oil in front of him is actually processed from super soybeans, and it is also high-quality soybeans produced in the experimental field.

Due to the high quality and high yield, the relatively rare physical pressing method is adopted instead of the common chemical leaching method, thereby retaining the original flavor of soybeans, without any additives and solvent residues, and is a pure natural green food.

Suddenly, a sense of freshness and curiosity surged up.

She immediately picked up a pail and put it on the cart.

I thought happily in my heart, buy it back and give it to my husband to try it out. When he sees this thing, he will definitely praise her for buying it.

After taking two steps, she stopped and stepped back to the counter.

He picked up a bucket again and put it in the cart.

After thinking about it, he picked up another bucket and put it in.

There are three barrels in total, enough to last for several months.

Then he nodded and left with satisfaction.

Since it is the soybeans produced in the experimental field, the yield will definitely not be too high, and it is estimated that this batch will be gone after it is sold out.

She had to buy a few more barrels and stock up for some use.

That night, Zhang Yan enthusiastically cooked several dishes with the newly bought super soybean oil.

After serving it on the table, it was full of color and fragrance, and my husband was full of praise.

She watched her husband eat so much that he couldn't stop talking, and asked with a smile, "Is today's dish different from the usual taste?"

The husband pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "It doesn't feel as greasy as before, but it still smells good. Did you change the oil?"

Zhang Yan nodded, smiling so much that her eyes turned into two crescents: "That's right, I bought the new soybean oil today, and it seems that I bought it right."

The husband's complexion changed, and he suddenly hated iron and steel: "Soybean oil? Now there are genetically modified soybean oils on the market. How many times have I said that you can't buy genetically modified soybean oil."

Zhang Yan gave him a white look: "I'm not stupid, of course it's not genetically modified soybean oil, it's the super soybean oil that was very popular on the Internet before."

Husband suddenly turned from worry to joy: "Really? That's great, the soybean oil processed by super soybeans is actually listed in the whole country? This is too soon."

Zhang Yan shook her head: "No, I read the label above, it seems to be the super soybeans in the experimental field before, COFCO may have taken out a batch of soybean oil, let's try it out on the market, I don't think there are many, and it will probably be sold out. Gone."

The husband became anxious immediately: "No way, this is the only batch of such delicious soybean oil. If you don't know it, just buy a bucket. Let's go, let's buy a few more buckets."

Zhang Yan said triumphantly: "How can I be so stupid, I bought three barrels, and we will cook at night and on weekends, enough to last for half a year."

Husband gave a thumbs up: "My wife is indeed the smartest, she didn't love you for nothing."

Zhang Yan opened her curious eyes and asked, "By the way, husband, haven't you always said that genetically modified soybeans are not good? Isn't this super soybean also produced by genetic technology? Why do you have such a good attitude towards it?" .”

The husband put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and explained energetically.

"This genetically modified soybean was produced by Eagle Country. It has a petunia gene transplanted, which can resist herbicides, so it can greatly increase the yield."

"However, in the process of introducing foreign genes into soybeans, bacteria such as Agrobacterium are used, so the DNA of soybeans is integrated with bacterial DNA, and the genome is not pure enough. These inserted bacterial DNA may be harmful to the human body. There are unknown hazards, it's very unsafe and it's not good for the environment."

"Similarly, due to the use of bacteria, antibiotic antibody genes are also added to genetically modified crops. In this way, as long as antibiotics are added during the manufacturing process, genetically modified crops can be successfully screened out, but this will also make genetically modified foods contain antibiotic resistance. Genes may cause humans to develop resistance to antibiotics by infecting intestinal bacteria, which poses a great threat to human health."

"GMO food is mainly caused by these two hazards. One is redundant germ genomes, and the other is antibiotic resistance genes. Think about it, can there be no harm if these messy genomes are added to soybeans?"

"The gene-edited super soybean is completely different. It inserts and edits the genome on the DNA of the soybean itself, without introducing any bacterial DNA, and does not use any antibiotic resistance genes, so the genome is very pure and safe. Much more, similar to the high-quality soybean seeds bred by scientists through crossbreeding."

"So the cooking oil processed from super soybeans can be eaten with confidence, but I don't appreciate the genetically modified soybean oil. I'd better leave it to foreigners to eat."

Zhang Yan couldn't understand what he heard, and nodded repeatedly: "My husband is still the best. With this explanation, it's easy to understand."

The husband raised his legs, held a toothpick in his mouth, and added.

"I read a report before, saying that the genetically modified papayas on the domestic market all contain antibiotic resistance genes, which seem to be kanamycin resistance genes and tetracycline resistance genes, which will be resistant to kanamycin and tetracycline. These two antibiotics are very important second-class antibiotics and should absolutely not appear in food."

"If you eat these papayas, it is easy to develop resistance to these two antibiotics, making the antibiotics ineffective. Then if you get some bacterial infection in the future, kanamycin and tetracycline can't be used, and you have to replace them with other advanced antibiotics. .”

"And you know, antibiotic resistance genes can spread around in the bacterial population, and if this gene is passed to other bacteria in the human gut, especially in places where there are a lot of bacteria like hospitals, it can easily spawn If the super bacteria come out, then there will be no medicine to use, and we can only wait to die."

What Zhang Yan said made Zhang Yan dumbfounded, and the whole person was frightened.

After a while, she finally recovered, patted her heart and said in fear: "My God, it's too scary, it's too scary, I won't eat genetically modified food if I'm killed in the future."

After the two of them finished their meal, Zhang Yan took a few photos of Super Soybean Oil.

Then I attached the photos of the prepared food, made them into a nine-square grid, and posted them on the Internet.

"I went to the supermarket today and bought the new super soybean oil. It tastes great. The fried dishes are not greasy, but have a fragrance. The whole family loves it, and I highly recommend it!"

Not long after it was posted, some other netizens who bought super soybean oil also posted their real photos.

As soon as the number of people increased, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

"Hey, is the cooking oil processed from super soybeans already on the market?"

"It's so fast! It was only developed last year, so you can eat soybean oil this year?"

"It is said that this is just the batch of super soybeans produced in the experimental field last year. COFCO made the first batch of edible oil. It is likely to test the water and see how the market accepts super soybeans."

"This product is selling very well. After I saw the news on the Internet, I went to the supermarket to see that it was sold out."

"The soybeans in the experimental field are carefully cultivated, and the quality should be the best batch. The fried vegetables made must taste delicious."

"It's a pity. I didn't grab it. I asked the supermarket staff, and they said it would be gone when it was sold out."

"I heard that genetically modified soybeans are harmful to the human body. Isn't this super soybean oil a genetically modified food?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately lifted her spirits, and immediately sent out her husband's explanation, lest netizens might misunderstand Super Soybean.

Sure enough, after reading her speech, the netizens suddenly realized and praised her one after another.

"This should be someone in the industry. The explanation is very clear. The harm of genetically modified food is indeed very serious. You must never eat it again in the future."

"Super soybeans are indeed different from genetically modified foods. This is a genetically produced crop special to our country. It is very green and healthy with high nutritional value. It will be officially launched in the future. I must buy it and eat more."

"I heard that there are other genetic crops that are also in production. It is estimated that they will be available on the market in a year or two."

"Wow, it's great to think about it, I can eat delicious and nutritious food in the future."

"I'm so looking forward to it. Can the legendary fruits of gratitude come true?"

"Let me make a list, potatoes that won't germinate, peanuts that won't mold, lychees without pits, durians full of meat..."

Netizens discussed enthusiastically, imagining everything that will happen in the future.
