Scholars in the courtyard

In the evening, Teacher Yuan arranged accommodation for Yang Xiaotao and others, and invited them to have dinner together.

Needless to say, the most sumptuous dish on the table was a fat carp.

"Try it, this fish has been raised in the rice field for more than half a year, and it was not small when it was caught."

Teacher Yuan asked Yang Xiaotao to pick up the chopsticks first, and Yang Xiaotao took a little with the chopsticks, and then tasted it, "Delicious, this braised dish is delicious, delicious."

An Ran, who was standing by, smiled and was particularly happy.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao looked over, "You didn't cook this meal, did you?"

An Ran nodded immediately, "Of course, I cooked it."

"Great!"

Yang Xiaotao gave a thumbs up and praised.

An Ran smiled modestly, she knew Yang Xiaotao's cooking skills, and being praised by Yang Xiaotao was also a kind of affirmation.

It's worth his time and effort on this.

As Yang Xiaotao picked up his chopsticks, the people at the table also started eating.

Everyone took the steamed buns made of two-layer flour, ate pickles and fish, and there was fish soup in the bowl. They ate happily.

From time to time, the sound of slurping could be heard.

After dinner, Teacher Yuan knew that Yang Xiaotao and his friends had been tired from traveling, so he didn't disturb them anymore.

After Yang Xiaotao and his friends returned to their residence, they didn't go out again and lay down to rest.

As for the matter of the pharmaceutical factory, since no one called, it meant that the matter had been resolved and he was no longer needed.

This way, he would have more time to deal with things here.

"Mr. Yang, these are today's photos."

In the room, Wang Hao came over with a camera.

Before coming, Yang Xiaotao brought his camera from home.

He didn't want to miss this memorable moment, so he handed the camera to Wang Hao.

"How about it, are there any outstanding photos?"

"Yes, there are a lot."

Wang Hao said, and then told the moments he recorded, and Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.

These are not only the materials for publicity, but also the key to their memories in the future.

When he is old and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and watching the awards ceremony on TV, he can take out these photos and tell the children around him, this is your Grandpa Yuan...

Yang Xiaotao regained his composure and then smiled, "Tomorrow we will probably harvest the rice, and weigh it. You should record all of this and wait for the photos to be developed so that we can take them back and report to the work."

After instructing Wang Hao, Yang Xiaotao went to bed to rest.

Seeing this, Wang Hao could only go back to the house to rest.

"By the way, let Captain Hao go to the town to buy some meat tomorrow morning, buy more."

As he said this, Yang Xiaotao took out twenty yuan from his backpack and a stack of national food coupons and handed them to Wang Hao.

"Okay, I'll give it to Captain Hao later and ask him to go early tomorrow morning."

Wang Hao knew that Yang Xiaotao was wealthy and knew that there was funding for this trip, so he didn't bother to be polite with Yang Xiaotao.

After saying that, he left and Yang Xiaotao lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

It was late at night. Xiao Wei emerged from the table. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had fallen asleep, she did not make a fuss. She just helped relieve his fatigue.

Outside the yard, Hao Pingchuan and Xiaobo were arranging patrol and guarding tasks with Captain Wang.

Now that the harvest is imminent, the grain is placed outside the base, so we have to be careful.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Even if it is stolen by rats and mice, it is a loss.

The next day, the sky was dawning and the morning mist was filled.

After getting up, Hao Pingchuan drove the jeep to the town. Wang Hao gave him money last night, so he naturally had to buy more things.

If he went too late, it would be gone.

Besides, he also knew that today would be a good day.

The sun gradually climbed higher, and the scorching temperature baked the earth.

When Yang Xiaotao got up, there were already people walking around in the yard, and Teacher Yuan was sharpening his knife in a short shirt.

There were two people around to help, grinding the black guillotine little by little.

"Brother Yang, did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well. I haven't had a good sleep on this journey."

"Here, listening to the chirping of insects and surrounded by the fragrance of rice, I sleep very soundly."

Yang Xiaotao said, Yu Hua smiled, "Teacher Yang, you said the same thing as the teacher."

"In the past, the teacher often spread a mat beside the rice field and lay down to sleep."

"Don't mention it, those mosquitoes and other things don't bite. Everyone says that mosquitoes also understand human nature and know who is good and don't bite."

Yu Hua said, but Teacher Yuan disagreed, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have much meat and blood, so I can't bite and bleed."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

After packing up, breakfast was also ready.

After a simple breakfast, everyone was ready to start work, and they were even more excited!

They knew that they must have succeeded, but they didn't know how many pounds they would get.

If it was just a little more than ordinary rice, it would not be of much use.

At least, it should be like high-yield corn.

Everyone was looking forward to it, but there was a little more trepidation.

Teacher Yuan was the same. While busy, he kept looking at the grain stack outside, thinking about how much grain he could harvest.

Soon the tasks were assigned.

Yang Xiaotao was assigned by Teacher Yuan to pack bags, while he was ready to operate the thresher.

However, Yang Xiaotao refused this arrangement because he was more familiar with the thresher.

Teacher Yuan didn't say anything about this. After all, when it comes to machinery, Yang Xiaotao is more authoritative.

Coming to the carport next to him, Yang Xiaotao began to check.

Xiaobo came over at this time and said that many people from the surrounding villages were coming and told Yang Xiaotao not to move around casually.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, he was not someone who refused to listen to advice.

He would naturally obey the arrangements for this kind of thing. Only a brainless editor would come up with such a mindless act of seeking death.

You really treat people like fools!

After Xiaobo left, Yang Xiaotao continued to inspect the tractor and thresher.

Add oil, add water, check the rubber ring...

It took about ten minutes to complete the whole set.

At this time, Teacher Yuan and others were already preparing outside.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao used a tractor to pull the thresher to the threshing floor outside the base.

At this time, after receiving the news, the surrounding villagers rushed over from outside to check the situation.

They come here, first, to see how much output the institute has created.

Is it like what they say, one acre of land is worth two acres?

Secondly, I also wanted to take a look at this threshing machine. Although several surrounding villages had used it in advance, seeing is believing.

Years of working methods have made them biased against new things. Some people even think that the rice produced by the machine will lose its original taste, and some people think that some rice will be lost...

Under various circumstances, people who came to the scene surrounded the area, and some children climbed directly onto the walls and trees, full of energy to watch the excitement.

Yang Xiaotao adjusted the car and then connected the thresher's engine to the tractor with rubber rings.

Because the rice has matured early, the grains inside the ears are full, and it smells like grain.

In other words, it's more like the smell of sunshine.

Yang Xiaotao took out a pack of masks, put one on himself, and then gave it to others.

Everyone got into position, and then in Yang Xiaotao's voice, the tractor made a clicking sound, and then drove the threshing machine to rotate rumble.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Teacher Yuan on the other side had already raised the guillotine. Next to him, Yu Hua put the prepared rice in. Then the guillotine dropped hard, and a pile of ears fell to the ground.

Soon someone picked up Suitou and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

So in Chaoyang, at the base outside Xiaoping Village, under the gaze of everyone.

Yang Xiaotao put the ears of hybrid rice into the thresher with his own hands, and then there was a rumbling sound inside, and a moment later, rice flowed out of the grain outlet.

Next to him, Wang Hao recorded the moment.

After Teacher Yuan finished the first blow, he held a pen and paper and watched carefully.

Until they saw the white rice flowing out of the outlet, a little yellow chaff mixed in it did not affect everyone's mood at all.

Teacher Yuan reached out and picked up a handful of rice, his eyes sparkling.

"White, so white!"

Bang

As he spoke, Teacher Yuan pinched a handful of rice grains and put it in his mouth. He bit hard with his teeth and bit the rice that was not yet dry. The bits and pieces filled his mouth, but he had a look of satisfaction on his face.

It tastes the same as rice before.

Teacher Yuan didn't care to tell others that the machine was rumbling now, which was the time to be busy.

He nodded to Yu Hua and the others, and then came to the side to prepare to transport the rice to the side to dry.

As the rumbling sound continued around, the yellow rice ears were fed into the machine, and then the outer husks were violently broken inside, leaving the rice behind and flowing out with a whirring sound.

The person holding the bamboo basket quickly caught it, then carried it aside and fell to the ground.

On the other side, a hot wind blew out, accompanied by yellow chaff, keeping the people around away!

This scene is so similar to when wheat is harvested.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care to look too much. He just put the piles of rice ears into the mouth of the machine as required, and then went back to pick up new ears of rice.

As time goes by, there are less and less rice around, the rice spread out not far away is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people watching the excitement around, and the voices of discussion are getting louder and louder.

Some people were sighing around the threshing machine, saying that they would be able to use this kind of machine in their own village.

If I had known it, they would still thresh the grains by beating them.

With so much rice, it would take the whole family just one or two days to finish the work.

Unlike now, it's not even noon yet, and most of it has been done. You know, this is five acres of land.

But some people were surrounding the spread rice and couldn't help but look at it.

An older man came to the rice field, stretched out his hand to hold a handful, and looked at the rice that was larger than the rice at home with excitement.

One, two, more and more people will be surprised when they discover this situation.

They looked at Teacher Yuan and others no longer with suspicion, but with disbelief and a little gratitude.

If such a good seed is planted, wouldn't it be possible to harvest more next year?

Some people have thought of it, and some are ready to do it!

Unfortunately, they don't know that if these seeds are planted, the yield will probably decrease next year.

An Ran heard everyone's comments and felt very proud. Their efforts finally paid off.

As for the seeds, she explained patiently. Although everyone didn't understand why they couldn't be planted, the things in the research institute were something they didn't understand, and everyone understood it.

In the middle of the afternoon, the thresher finally stopped rumbling, and the whole sky became quiet.

Yang Xiaotao plucked his ears and sat on the tractor, looking at the steam coming out of the water tank in front of him. He took off his mask and lit a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.

Xiao Bo and Wang Hao were sitting aside smoking cigarettes. They were in charge of the knife this time, and they were very tired!

The three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Teacher Yang, give you some water!"

An Ran walked over from the side. Yang Xiaotao saw him and took a sip from the kettle.

"Where's Brother Yuan? Why haven't you seen him?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the scene. There were many people around, but no one from the research institute was seen.

An Ran smiled, "The teacher is waiting for someone to estimate the output!"

Yang Xiaotao put down the kettle, then smiled and said, "He can't wait any longer!"

"That's right. I've been waiting all morning. You don't know that the teacher is eager to put on a stove to dry the rice quickly!"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this, then handed the kettle to An Ran, then got up and walked inside.

An Ran watched Yang Xiaotao leave and quickly followed.

Just as he entered the gate of the base, he saw Yu Hua running out, and he looked particularly excited after seeing Yang Xiaotao.

"Teacher Yang, it's figured out, it's figured out!"

Yu Hua said excitedly, and An Ran stepped forward to ask what was going on. Teacher Yuan also came out from behind, holding a pen and paper in his hand, and started talking to the side without waiting for Yang Xiaotao to ask.

"It's a basket of rice, three and a half kilograms heavier than usual!"

“We remember the number of baskets of rice!”

As he spoke, Teacher Yuan spread out his notebook, and there were rows of straight characters on it.

Then, regardless of whether Yang Xiaotao understood it or not, he said excitedly again, "According to our calculations, the yield per mu is more than one thousand kilograms!"

"A thousand pounds!"

Teacher Yuan's expression could no longer be suppressed. This number and quantity fully demonstrated that his hybrid rice was successful!
