Chapter 260 Drip Irrigation Technology

In the studio, the recording team was already adjusting the camera position, and the studio owner was communicating with Liu Qingsong about the recording details. It might be that the studio owner needed to memorize some lines. He was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead.

Cao Chunyuan did not go over to join in the fun, but found Pei Shaorong who was studying strawberries in the greenhouse. After seeing Pei Shaorong and Li Ying, she trotted over.

"Academician Pei, let me pick some strawberries for you to try!"

Li Ying smiled slightly at Cao Chunyuan and said, "Mr. Cao, I just paid the money and I will pick some when I leave."

Cao Chunyuan's eyes widened, "You have to spend money to eat strawberries, isn't that a slap in my face?"

Li Ying waved her hand and said: "The greenhouse owner is not willing to charge. The teacher asked me to pay. It is not easy for others to grow strawberries. How can we eat their stuff for nothing!"

Cao Chunyuan was speechless for a while. As a landlord, it would make people laugh if guests came to his home and had to spend money to buy strawberries.

But who let the other party be Pei Shaorong? When Pei Shaorong's stubborn temper comes up, who can control her!

Cao Chunyuan could only shake her head helplessly and silently squatted beside Pei Shaorong.

"Academician Pei, I see you have been squatting for a long time. What are you looking at?"

"I'm wondering if drip irrigation technology can be used in strawberry greenhouses."

In Cao Chunyuan's previous life, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation technologies were already very mature and popular in China, and even related content was included in textbooks.

But it is now 1994, and technology is not yet developed. This advanced drip irrigation technology has not yet been implemented in China. Naturally, the greenhouses in Liujiacun are not equipped with sprinkler irrigation or drip irrigation equipment.

The second time Pei Shaorong came here, he was thinking about greenhouse improvement plans. Cao Chunyuan admired her very much. This serious attitude towards agricultural issues alone was worth her lifelong study.

"Academician Pei, don't worry. Sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation technology will be popularized in our country sooner or later. By then, let alone greenhouses, even ordinary farmland can use this irrigation technology."

Hearing this, Pei Shaorong looked at Cao Chunyuan with some surprise, "Do you still understand this?"

Cao Chunyuan's face instantly turned black. I am indeed relatively amateur when it comes to agriculture, but no matter how amateur I am, I am not a fool. How can I still know about this kind of technology that I can guess just by hearing the name?

"Haha, I understand a little bit."

"Since you understand, why don't you let everyone use this advanced equipment?"

Cao Chunyuan blinked and said: "I was in a hurry to start work, so I didn't think of this. Another point is that although I understand this technology, the workers in the construction team do not.

Even if I tell them how to do it, they may not be able to assemble the drip irrigation equipment. If there is something wrong with the equipment, not to mention the time and effort, the greenhouse may be empty in the first phase.”

"Alas~"

Pei Shaorong sighed, her face was heavy and her brows were full of sorrow.

“We introduced drip irrigation technology in 1974, and it’s been 20 years, and this advanced planting technology has not yet been promoted.

Each of the overseas growers has several hectares of land, and they all use drip irrigation technology, which can save a lot of labor. Why can't this excellent technology be promoted in China?"

As a witness to history, Cao Chunyuan has the right to speak. The domestic population base is large and the per capita land is small. In foreign countries, it is just the opposite. They have vast land and sparsely populated areas. In this case, it is natural to find ways to reduce the workload of growers.

But it's different in China. There isn't much land, and no one is willing to spend more money to install "useless" farming equipment.

Take Dazhangzi Township as an example. Each villager only has more than one acre of cultivated land, and a family of three only has 4 or 5 acres of land. This small amount of manpower is completely sufficient, and there is no need to waste money on installing sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation equipment.

There is also the fact that everyone has different acceptance levels of technological products, and foreign countries are willing to use advanced equipment to reduce labor costs.

But hard work is an old tradition in China, and farmers would rather work harder than rely on external help for farming.

Cao Chunyuan knew these things very well in her heart, but she didn't want to say them out because she was afraid that Pei Shaorong would feel even more uncomfortable if she did.

"Academician Pei, after the Chinese New Year, I will find professionals to install drip irrigation equipment for the greenhouses in the village. In addition, we will publicize it to the outside world and encourage growers to use advanced planting technology.

I believe that in the near future, all growers in our country will implement this technology."

"well!"

Pei Shaorong shook her head. Based on her experience, she couldn't tell that Cao Chunyuan was comforting her.

As an older generation of agricultural researchers, she has dedicated her whole life to agricultural research, but there are some things that cannot be accomplished with her hard work.

Pei Shaorong shook his head a little lonely and said: "I am old, and the future of the motherland depends on young people like you. Xiao Cao, you are a good boy, don't let down everyone's expectations of you."

At this moment, Cao Chunyuan suddenly felt that a mission fell on her shoulders. She nodded vigorously and said sincerely: "Academician Pei, don't worry, I will do my best to make the people around me live a better life.

At the same time, we will also find ways to help more people so that they can live a good life."

Pei Shaorong smiled slightly and gently rubbed Cao Chunyuan's hair.

"Good boy!"

At 15:40 in the afternoon, the recording in the Liujiacun greenhouse ended. Cao Chunyuan wanted to take Pei Shaorong and the recording team to dinner, but Pei Shaorong had to go back to the Agricultural Research Center.

Cao Chunyuan couldn't defeat Pei Shaorong, so she could only follow Pei Shaorong's wishes and return to the Agricultural Research Center with her.

After getting off the car, Pei Shaorong waved his hand to Cao Chunyuan, "You have been busy with us all day, so go ahead and do whatever you need to do, and don't worry about us."

Cao Chunyuan's biggest task now is to arrange the people of the scientific research team, and other things have been arranged later. She will never leave Pei Shaorong alone.

"Academician Pei, I'm in the office of Cen Shuhong's experimental group. If you need anything, call me anytime."

"Okay, then I'll go to the experimental field first. I didn't observe carefully enough just now. I want to reorganize the detailed data."

"Okay, you go to work first."

"Hmm~"

Pei Shaorong nodded and walked towards the experimental field again with Li Ying's support. Cao Chunyuan shook her head and quickly came to Cen Shuhong's office.

At this time, Cen Shuhong was busy entertaining several senior leaders of the scientific research team, so it was naturally impossible for her to be in the office. Cao Chunyuan took out her mobile phone and called her, summoning her to the office.

Cen Shuhong ran all the way back to the office and asked breathlessly: "Mr. Cao, what are your plans?"

"Academician Pei and the others came from Yanjing early in the morning, and it was getting dark right away. Even I felt a little hungry, let alone older people like them.

Immediately ask the canteen to prepare meals. After the meals are ready, send them to the scientific research team. Oh, by the way, the meals for the film crew will also be prepared together."

Cen Shuhong nodded repeatedly, indicating that arrangements would be made immediately.

"Did the professors from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences say anything while I was away in the afternoon?"

Cen Shuhong shook her head and said: "They have been studying rice and didn't mention anything else."
