Soon, the group arrived at the cornfield behind Niu Gaolong's house.
"Chief Niu, are you picking pearl corn in this field?"
As soon as Niu Gaolong walked to a tall corn plant, technician Liu pointed at it and asked immediately.
"Yes. By the way, is this land an experimental product?"
Niu Gaolong asked curiously.
He has been busy with village affairs outside, so he doesn't know much about the situation at home.
Moreover, even the last task of watering the corn with auxin was done with the help of Niu Damao, technician Liu and others.
Just now he saw that the corn seedlings were growing well and the cobs were big and long, so he naturally thought it was good.
"Yes, this is your experimental corn field. It was your wife's request to get it here. That day you went to the town for a meeting, and Damao Fugui and I watered your corn field with auxin."
Technician Liu said.
Then, he pointed to the slightly shorter corn plants in the back and said, "Look, the corn plants over there are slightly smaller, and the corn cobs they produce are also slightly shorter. But the taste is definitely different."
Sure enough, except for the plant in the experimental field, the plants at the back grew shorter and produced one or two fewer corn cobs.
The corn cobs in the experimental field grew larger and longer, and each plant produced one or two more corn cobs.
This kind of detail problem is really not visible at a glance unless you look carefully.
"Well, let me pick one and try it."
Niu Gaolong said with some excitement.
To be honest, he was a little nervous.
If all the corn in the village tastes like the experimental product, then this oleander village will be useless.
Everyone is in an unprecedented crisis.
Moreover, his two nephews, including him, may still face jail time.
In his mind, why not improve the economy of his village?
However, once the ideal results are not achieved, every villager will kill his backbone openly or covertly.
At that time, the Niu family will become sinners in the village.
Everyone watched as Niu Gaolong found a taller corn plant from the corn field at the back, broke off a newly matured corn cob, and peeled off the husks in front of everyone.
Everyone craned their necks to look over.
Fang Wei, who was wearing a straw hat, stood on tiptoes and looked at the corn cobs.
The next second.
Everyone was stunned.
They all held their breath and were speechless.
But I saw that the corn was still a layer of light gray.
The color of the corn is slightly lighter than that of the experimental product, without that annoying gray-brown color.
But this gray color still makes people uncomfortable to look at.
"Why is the corn still gray in color instead of the original bright yellow?"
Someone was curious and asked questions.
"Yes, I heard that the color of the pearl corn grown by Lin Feng's family was light green, like pearls and jade, and it was very beautiful."
"That's right. It stands to reason that the pearl corn in the experiment is gray-brown, and normal pearl corn shouldn't be this gray. The color is really ugly. I don't know how it tastes?"
"I guess the taste is similar. My corn is also this gray color. But I haven't eaten it. I don't dare to eat it."
"Well, this color is so unpleasant. It's so gray. Even if it's black, it's fine. I wouldn't dare to eat it."
"That's right, the black one is black rice, and it can be named black pearl. But what is this gray thing?"
"In addition, the smell of corn is not that fresh and fragrant, but rather rancid, like dead fish roe. It won't make you hungry."
"Yes, the smell is so strong that even humans, such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs, would not eat it, let alone eating it."
…
Everyone expressed doubts, worries, annoyance, disgust, and all kinds of emotions.
They were so confident that they destroyed all their previous crops and planted precious corn, hoping to make a fortune from this project.
I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy hormonal hormones and almost emptied my entire family fortune.
Another family of men, women and children, waited in the cornfield day and night, for fear that something would damage the corn cobs.
Just to make a lot of money.
Who knew it would end up like this?
"Don't worry, we haven't tasted it yet. Let's try it and see how it tastes. Although the color is not very pretty, I believe you will definitely be satisfied with the taste."
Technician Liu said quickly.
However, his eyes were not as confident as before.
Some are embarrassed and confused.
In fact, two days ago, he also inspected the pearl corn = rice and found that the corn kernels inside were light white and the taste was not bad.
It's the kind of fresh and refreshing flavor that leaves you wanting more.
Therefore, I confidently answered Niu Dawei’s various questions.
According to the mature look of sixty-seven at that time, that's pretty much it.
Little did we know that it had only been two days before the corn kernels turned light gray.
This color is really not very flattering.
No one will like this gloomy look.
It's like a spray of light gray paint.
Therefore, he could only hope that the taste of the corn would pass the test.
After all, he is just a technician responsible for planting and watering.
Rather than the scientific researchers who develop and grow auxin.
Even if there is a real problem, it is the matter of the scientific researchers and has nothing to do with him.
At that time, all he wanted to do was to get a small piece of experimental land out and conduct experiments and demonstrate it.
Unexpectedly, the two Niu brothers are eager for quick success and want to do something special.
Now I know something is wrong.
He can't afford to take this blame.
Niugaolong quickly picked out some corn kernels and put them in his mouth, chewing them slowly.
Then he showed a smile, turned his head and said happily to Technician Liu: "Although the appearance of this is not good-looking, the taste is really good, at least it is much better than the ordinary corn before."
"Really? I'll take a few and see."
"I want to eat a few to see how they taste?"
"Give me a few."
"I want a few too."
"Don't forget me. Let's all share some and see how this gray corn tastes."
Several villagers rushed to pick out a few corns from Niu Gaolong's hands and eat them.
After all, they have great hopes for this kind of corn.
If they don't succeed, they themselves will lose the most.
Therefore, everyone thought that the taste of this corn would pass the test.
Technician Liu also picked out a few corns, put them in his mouth, and chewed them slowly.
Sometimes he closed his eyes, sometimes his eyes widened, with exaggerated expressions on his face.
"Well, this tastes really good. It's at least ten times better than ordinary corn."
