Chapter 175 174. Qi Ruomu, the chatterbox, and the old tea tree

"What's wrong?" Luo Yihang asked hurriedly.

Professor Du stood up and looked carefully at the two handfuls of soil in his left and right hands.

He scattered the soil he had grabbed from Luo Yihang’s field with his left hand back into the field.

He raised the handful of food he had grabbed in his right hand and threw it back into the field.

Then he turned around and asked, "Is your field always like this?"

Luo Yihang rolled his eyes, thought of a good explanation, shook his head and replied: "No, I have improved it."

"Oh?" Professor Du was curious and asked, "How did you improve it? It's not a secret, right?"

"It's not a secret." Luo Yihang continued to shake his head and looked at Professor Du, "Because of you? I was inspired by you?"

"Me?" Professor Du pointed at himself and said happily, "Let's meet for the first time today."

"That's right. But you asked for soil samples several times before. I thought maybe there was something wrong with the soil at home, so after I rented the field on the platform, I brought some soil up and spread it on the field, and it really worked."

This is nonsense, just come out of your mouth.

Professor Du really believed it, and after thinking about it, he muttered to himself, "It can actually evolve and spread actively. This is a new topic."

Luo Yihang was shocked, thinking that he had messed up, and quickly asked, "Do I have to hand over this land to the country?"

Professor Du laughed loudly and waved his hands, "You are overthinking. At most, I can take some soil from you and put it somewhere else to see if it can be improved. Your land is still yours and you don't need to hand it over."

Afraid that Luo Yihang would not believe it, he further explained: "From my experience, the microbial community in your field is related to the local microclimate, and has evolved over a long period of time to reach a special balance. It is mostly coincidental."

“You are transporting soil from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, but you are still in this small environment.”

"I analyzed that the method of transporting soil for improvement can only reach your valley and the village at the foot of the mountain. It will be difficult to do it if the area is larger."

"This is such a small place. Can it be two thousand acres at most? It's too small. Even if the output increases tenfold, how much grain can be produced? The country doesn't want you."

"As the saying goes, eat well and be well fed. What the country needs is strategic, to be well fed. For a small place like yours, just work hard to ensure that you have enough food."

"Of course, this is just speculation. The specific results will depend on the test results."

While chatting.

A group of people walked around in the fields.

Professor Du looked very carefully and studied each crop from top to bottom.

Especially the root systems, after obtaining permission, each one was pulled out and examined, and after careful cleaning, they were collected by student Qi Ruomu.

Then he asked Luo Yihang a question: "Why are there no bugs here? I looked carefully and there is not a single bug."

"This..." Luo Yihang touched his nose and thought to himself, I can tell you, I'm having more fun these days because I can use new magic.

The fish and birds in the river have grown bigger.

"Well..." Luo Yihang gritted his teeth and decided to follow his father's example. "Maybe it's because this summer is not hot?"

"Naughty." Professor Du smiled and said, "The insect pests on the mountain are not serious. It's okay to use less pesticides. Insects are also part of the ecological cycle."

What can Luo Yihang say?

I can only agree obediently.

Afterwards, Professor Du asked in detail about the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

Luo Yihang racked his brains to make something seem real when it didn't happen, trying to make it seem like more.

One lie must be covered up with a bunch of lies.

It's really a waste of brain cells.

Wait until one circle is complete.

Luo Yihang asked Professor Du, "Professor Du, how do you think I should develop this piece of land? I plan to build a greenhouse next. Is it still suitable?"

"Many people also suggested that I build a mushroom house to grow some mushrooms. Do you think it's feasible?"

Professor Du thought about it and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Your situation is a little special. I need to think about it carefully and give you an answer tomorrow."

Luo Yihang was very surprised, "You can come again tomorrow."

"Why, you're not welcome?" Professor Du said with a smile.

"How can that be possible?" Luo Yihang waved his hand quickly, "You are welcome to come here every day and stay here permanently."

"Hahaha, no, there's too much to do." Professor Du pointed at Qi Ruomu beside him and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll have Xiao Qi bring it to you. The day after tomorrow, I'll try to make some time to come again."

After saying that, Qi Ruomu smiled at Luo Yihang, leaned close to Professor Du's ear and said, "Professor, it's almost time, we should go."

Professor Du looked at his watch and held out his hand to Luo Yihang, "Xiao Luo, sorry to bother you for the whole morning. We have to go first."

Luo Yihang held Professor Du's hand and didn't let go. "How can that be possible? It's already noon, we have to eat at least."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo." Qi Ruomu apologized first, "Professor Du is very tight on time this time. He has an appointment at noon and a seminar in the afternoon."

Luo Yihang tried to keep him once and twice, but still failed.

Professor Du is not being polite; he really doesn't have time.

It's not easy for an expert like him to come here, and many units are lining up to give lectures and exchange ideas with him.

I managed to squeeze out half a day to come to Luo Yihang's place today.
-
The next day, Professor Du did not come.

Qi Ruomu drove here alone, in the same Audi.

This time, since they were about the same age, they spoke more relaxedly.

When Qi Ruomu saw him yesterday, he thought he was a middle-aged man. Luo Yihang was still muttering in his heart, it was too miserable to be Professor Du’s student. He was over 40 and still hadn’t graduated.

Later I asked around and found out he was only 32.

This... looks a bit anxious.

"What's the matter? Your rank is not high enough. You can't even get a driver." Luo Yihang picked the man up and teased.

I called Ding Rui last night and told her that Professor Du and others had arrived.

Sister Zhao came over and started talking about Qi Ruomu. She said that Qi Ruomu looked like a decent human being, but his name sounded stupid, but he was actually very servile. He felt awkward when spoken to nicely, and was only happy when scolded.

That’s exactly what I said.

Luo Yihang understood instantly.

Dongzi and Ha Song, those guys are all like this.

Qi Ruomu was stunned for a moment after hearing Luo Yihang's teasing, then he immediately smiled and teased himself, "Of course, Professor Du is an expert who enjoys a subsidy from the State Council. He must be treated like a god wherever he goes. He must be picked up and dropped off by a car. I'm just a small worker, and it's good enough for me to have a car."

"Well, well, a postdoctoral fellow, enjoying the treatment of a full-time deputy director, a small-time worker at the same level as our district chief." Luo Yihang couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Oh, if that's the case, you'll have to give your wife one in two years. I heard from my junior fellow student's wife that your wife is so awesome, while we're still digging in the dirt, and others have already gone to the moon."

Qi Ruomu must be from the imperial capital, and he is very harsh with his words.

Luo Yihang was surprised to hear this. "You mean Ding Rui? Wasn't she monitoring the data? How did she go to the moon? Is this an exaggeration or is it true?"

"Oh, it's my fault. I didn't notice there was someone with a low enough rank here. I forgot about it once I noticed it was confidential."

"……"what's going on?

It seems quite extraordinary.

When asked further, Qi Ruomu refused to say anything.

The two of them joked around and went into the house to make some tea.

Qi Ruomu took a sip and started to complain, "I said your place is so good, why don't you grow some good tea leaves, some jasmine flowers, and make some good tea for guests? Instead, you just use these big leaves to fool people."

"Ha." Luo Yihang laughed, "My tea costs more than 200 yuan per kilogram. It's pretty good. Oh, that's right, you people in the capital love to drink jasmine, and you can't taste anything good in other things."

"Bah, you are from the imperial capital, your whole family is from the imperial capital. I am from Hebei Province." Qi Rumu was still unhappy.

From the way he speaks, you can tell that he is not from the imperial capital. Looking at his attitude, he is definitely from Hebei Province.

Qi Ruomu laughed and actually gave an idea, "I'll get you a few old tea trees, maybe 40 or 50 years old. Plant them on your mountain, and if you improve the soil a little, it shouldn't be a bad idea."

Wow, these tea trees are forty or fifty years old, almost as old as Luo’s father.

Luo Yihang became interested, "Where is this old tea tree from? Since it is an old tea tree, can it survive if it is transplanted?"

Qi Ruomu patted his chest and said, "What do I do? How can the tea I made for you not survive? That would be a slap in my face. It's not a famous tea. It's from Mount Emei, where the mountain green tea grows at an altitude of 600 to 1200 meters. It's suitable for you. You don't need to plant too many, just a dozen or so. You can harvest to kilograms of dry tea a year, which is enough for yourself or as a gift."

"Don't be disgusted, the green scent of the mountains makes a snowy smell, and the taste is unstoppable."

Snow? Scented? Isn't it still jasmine tea?

Okay, that's good.

The Luo family loves to drink anything, they’re not picky.

The old Ding family, that is, Ding Rui's parents' family, are really old people from the imperial capital. They love jasmine flowers and it is a good opportunity to show filial piety to their mother-in-law.

"Then thank you, Brother Qi. Please tell me how much money you need." Luo Yihang said with a smile.

Qi Ruomu's face pulled, "Are you trying to hit me in the face? My junior fellow apprentice told me before I came here that his girlfriend always uses your things, so he asked me to come and see if you need anything. A few tea trees are just a gift for meeting you, so you can keep them."

"In October, the weather will be cooler when the old tea trees are transplanted. I'll get them for you in October."

Having said that, Luo Yihang could only accept it with a smile.

At that time, he still didn't know the value of the old tea tree.
-
Chatted for a while.

Qi Ruomu took out a stack of papers from his bag and handed them to Luo Yihang, "Professor Du came back from your place yesterday and stayed up all night to make a plan for you. Take a look."

He pointed to his eyes and said, "See? I stayed up all night, my eyeballs are red."

Luo Yihang took the plan and was about to look at it, but when he heard this, he quickly looked up and looked carefully into Qi Ruomu's eyes.

He frowned.

There is a little bloodshot, but not serious, and the eyeballs are not red.

"You didn't see it, right? That's right." Qi Ruomu was very proud. "How could I let the old man stay up all night? He controlled the general direction and planned what I wrote. I fell asleep after staying up half the night."

"So." Qi Ruomu pointed at Luo Yihang's hand, "Maybe some details are not in place. I'm here to take a break today, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

……

Sister Zhao is right.

This person is indeed not normal.

I don't like to talk too much, I have to be a chatterbox.
