Chapter 112 111. Young Technician
The timing was perfect, just before lunch.

Technician Zhou drove over with a young man.

After getting off the car, Technician Zhou was so happy that he was beaming with joy. He greeted from a distance, "Xiao Luo, I brought the person to you."

The purpose is not simple...

But since they've come and brought gifts, we should at least treat them to a simple meal.

Of course, the young people brought were not a gift.

When Luo Yihang saw Technician Zhou, he came out to greet him with a smile.

Technician Zhou was also laughing. He took out a basket from the car and handed it to Luo Yihang. "I went to Meixuai yesterday. There was a chicken farmer there. They raised eggs from pheasants. I got two baskets and brought one to your grandfather."

This is good stuff.

Although it is tiring for them to promote agricultural techniques, they can really get a lot of new things by traveling around the mountains and the countryside.

Luo Yihang thanked Technician Zhou on behalf of his grandfather and took the basket. It was quite heavy, almost ten kilograms.

Technician Zhou then pulled the young man behind him and introduced him, "I've brought someone with me, too. This is Ma Zhitao, a newly assigned college student who majored in edible fungi science and engineering. He's a graduate of a serious professional school, so if you have any questions, you can go find him."

Ma Zhitao in real life is not as... well, I would say he is very open online but very shy in real life.

He would blush when he heard Technician Zhou praising him.

Luo Yihang extended his hand and shook his, then led the two into the house, saying politely, "Come on, come on, we'll talk about it this afternoon. Let's eat first. It's just simple food, please don't mind."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. I've been dreaming about the meal at your house. As soon as I got the chance, I came here immediately." Technician Zhou was really honest.

The honest young Ma Zhitao pulled his sleeve from behind and said, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, you...also..."

As a young person who has just entered society, I don’t know what to say.

Although the words were not spoken, Technician Zhou understood and directly taught: "In our job, you have to treat fellow villagers as family members. Why would they trust you if you are polite all the time? Come to your relatives' house for a meal, there is no need to be so polite."

Ma Zhitao was enlightened after hearing this. Although he still didn't understand why people didn't believe him after he was polite, he still worked hard to study.

In the kitchen, Luo's father heard the noise outside and came out. He just happened to hear it and praised loudly: "Xiao Zhou, what you said makes sense. We are all family, why are you being polite? My old man was still talking about you when he left."

"Brother Luo is fine, and the old man is fine too. We came here suddenly without telling anyone. We are so sorry."

"All right, all right. Come and sit down. I'll prepare a good meal for you and we'll have a couple of drinks at noon."

"What's the point of cooking? I'll eat whatever you eat at home. Let's not be shy."

"Don't be shy, at least you can prepare some snacks to go with the wine."

"Then I'll help you."

The two middle-aged men politely went into the kitchen together, and then a voice came from inside: "Sister-in-law, you are very good. Sorry to bother you again..."

Ma Zhitao was left in the living room, neither standing nor sitting, shouting in his heart, "Didn't you agree to be my master and take me with you? Why did you abandon me as soon as I arrived? Is this the workplace? There is no real emotion, only fake..."

Fortunately, Luo Yihang was still there. He came over on a cloud of auspicious clouds. He broke the awkwardness, asked Ma Zhitao to sit down, and poured him tea.

"Technician Ma, I was chatting with you online. I heard that you learned to grow mushrooms?"

"Eh, yes."

"This is the first time I know there is a profession called mushroom growing."

“Oh, it’s indeed quite small.”

"So you like mushrooms?"

"Oh, it's for adjustment."

"...Or we can talk on the phone." "Is that okay? That's great!" As soon as the words came out, Ma Zhitao immediately lowered his head and used his toes to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house with a large yard.

Luo Yihang was also a little speechless. He was just making a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but how could it have touched someone's heart?

He also noticed that this young technician was the kind of person who talked incessantly online, was socially anxious in real life, and didn't think before speaking.

To put it in modern terms, it is called clarity with stupidity.

The career prospects of horse technicians are worrying. As for the promotion of agricultural technology, there are only a few young people willing to work in agriculture, most of whom are the same age as Luo Yihang's father. It is a bit too much to ask them to fight with technicians with their mobile phones.

"Technician Ma, you are really interesting. This is my idea. Please listen to it and see if there is any problem..." Luo Yihang changed the subject and got straight to the point.

Luo Yihang recounted the story, but of course he didn't tell the whole story.

Ma Zhitao listened carefully and concluded, "You have a friend who runs a barbecue restaurant and you want to supply him with goods. The peak season is coming soon, so you want to find a product that can be used by the barbecue restaurant and that grows quickly."

"Very good." Luo Yihang gave a thumbs up.

Ma Zhitao clapped his hands excitedly, "The mushrooms are just right. They can be picked in ten days using mushroom bags, which is definitely fast enough. Besides, a barbecue restaurant doesn't have to only sell barbecue, right? Oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms can be skewered and grilled, and oyster mushrooms can also be made into fried mushrooms."

He must be thinking how fitting it is that it’s finally open.

But there is still a question, "How big do you want to be?"

"How many mushrooms can a barbecue restaurant use in a month?" Luo Yihang asked.

"This..." This involves Ma Zhitao's blind spot in knowledge. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked back, "How much material is used for a string of fried or grilled mushrooms?"

"This..." Luo Yihang didn't know either, but he had a plan, "Just give it a try and you'll know."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, do we have any shiitake mushrooms? Oyster mushrooms are also fine. I want fresh ones."

The answer from the kitchen was quick: "No!"

"Fuck."

Luo Yihang turned around again and saw Ma Zhitao holding up his hand. "I brought some samples, but I left them in the car and forgot to take them. There are both oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms..."

"Okay, let's make some after dinner and see how much it takes."

"Well... I'm not hungry, so let's try it now." Ma Zhitao is quite dedicated. He has just joined the company and is seizing the opportunity to show his abilities.

That’s right, emotional intelligence was omitted.

Since the other party had mentioned it, Luo Yihang naturally agreed and followed Ma Zhitao to get the mushrooms.

Technician Zhou came out of the kitchen and only his back was seen.

"This child..."
-
It took a long time for the child to come back.

He and Luo Yihang took the mushrooms and went to Luo Yihang's grandfather's house downstairs to do experiments. There was also a kitchen there.

I cooked some oyster mushrooms, some shiitake mushrooms, and fried the king oyster mushrooms until they were burnt. Ding Xiaoman, who had just woken up, got up and tasted a bite, yue~
Then, Luo Yihang forgot how fast his family eats when there are outsiders around, and when he came back, it was already past dinner time.

Fortunately, Zhang Guiqin still thought about them and saved some food for them.

Then, Ma Zhitao was about to cry.

Holding the big bowl, he worked hard without even raising his head, swallowing the delicious food mixed with tears of regret.

Why is the food in this restaurant so delicious? Why am I so stupid? Why am I trying so hard to show off? Wasn’t it good for us to just have a meal together?

Also, there is not enough food...

Woooooooooo~~~
