Chapter 47: Grandpa Yuan and the life of hybrid rice
Taking out the first volume, Tao Qiqi habitually chose to look at the catalog first, but when she opened the cover and looked at it, she saw the words "Yuan Longping and the Life of Hybrid Rice" in the catalog.
Nothing else.
As soon as Tao Qiqi saw Grandpa Yuan's name, she thought of Grandpa Yuan's life-long contribution to the great motherland in this world. After that, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
After feeling the feeling for a while and controlling her tears, Tao Qiqi wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed and continued to look down briefly.
The entire book explains and analyzes everything about Grandpa Yuan and hybrid rice in his life.
Regardless of all the problems encountered in the process of developing hybrid rice, or the various difficulties experienced, and even the analysis of the final successful results, they are all written very clearly.
Looking at the contents of the book, Tao Qiqi's mind was filled with the image of Grandpa Yuan busy in the farmland, and then his loving smiling face after the research was successful.
Seeing the final success, Tao Qiqi also cried with joy without knowing it.
Closing the book that recorded Grandpa Yuan's life research, Tao Qiqi hugged him tightly in her arms, imagining it was like holding Grandpa Yuan.
After hugging him for a while, he finally reluctantly put the book back into the warehouse.
After wiping away her tears, she left the space and returned to the courtyard. The group of people in the courtyard all gave Tao Qiqi strange looks.
Tao Qiqi looked confused, looked behind her, and then touched her face again. There was no problem, "Why are you all looking at me so strangely?"
Tao Qiniang came over and looked at Tao Qiqi and asked in a low voice, "Why are you crying in the latrine? Why are your eyes so red?"
After Tao Qiniang asked, Tao Qiqi reacted and quickly explained: "Stop talking, you shouldn't be greedy last night. You ate too many kebabs and got a little angry, so you squatted in the hut.
After squatting for a long time, the smell inside was too strong and it was smoked to death."
After saying that, Tao Qiqi did not forget to pretend to pick up her clothes and smell them, and then said: "No, my clothes are all covered in smoke. I have to change my clothes."
After saying that, Tao Qiqi walked to her room.
After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, everyone naturally believed them to be true. After all, she had indeed been squatting inside for a long time just now.
After Tao Qiqi changed her clothes and came out, Fang Yu heated up breakfast for her and ate something simple. After lunch, Tao Qiqi began to continue studying with Jiang Ye.
Fang Yu is also very talented in learning. If she doesn't understand what Jiang Ye explains, she will ask Tao Qiqi. After Tao Qiqi's explanation, she quickly learns it.
In fact, if it weren't for the ancient rules, if women could enter the school, they would definitely not be worse than men.
In the next few days, even though Tao Qiqi and the others were temporarily resting in Guanzhou, they were not idle at all.
Either go into the mountains or process and eat food at home.
If you are not processing and eating, you are studying.
When he wasn't studying, he was selling wild goods in the market to earn money.
When Tao Qiqi went into the mountains for the second time, Jiang Ye and Zhao Hu also went with her. Of course, her Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai would also follow.
With Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, they had another great harvest on the mountain.
However, when they first went up the mountain, they just had a little fun, catching some pheasants, hares, and digging some medicinal materials and wild vegetables.
When they were about to go down the mountain, Tao Qiqi didn't want to catch any big fish, so she excused herself and ran away. Then in the blink of an eye, when she appeared in front of them again, she had either caught a bison or a wild boar.
Finally, the three of them went down the mountain contentedly.
Of course, since she was staying here for several days, Tao Qiqi could eat the peppers just by looking at them, so she was not in a hurry to leave. When the peppers matured, she would go up the mountain again and get some of the peppers to pass through the open road.
As soon as Pepper crossed Ming Road, Tao Qiqi became busy again.
Some chopped chili peppers, sour chili peppers (pickled chili peppers), and dried chili peppers are provided.
Of course, her favorite fried pork with green pepper, scrambled egg with green pepper, and beef with pickled pepper will also be arranged.
After the chili peppers in the space turned red, she tossed some out, dried them, processed them into chili noodles, and finally made chili oil.
Chili oil is not only delicious in many ways, but also easy to store.
Finally, the group stayed in Guanzhou for ten days before packing up their things and preparing to continue their journey to escape.
But now it is mid-June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Whenever she is hot and sweating, Tao Qiqi misses the ice cream in this world.
Of course, in this imaginary ancient times, it was not impossible for her to eat if she wanted to.
But in order to eat a popsicle, she had to spend a huge amount of money to get it, so she would rather choose to continue carrying it. Anyway, she is not someone who can't carry it.
A popsicle cost nearly one hundred taels. She was afraid that she had a brain disorder or a convulsion to be so extravagant.
In fact, no matter in the real ancient times or the ancient times that Tao Qiqi traveled through, saltpeter was extremely expensive.
Due to limitations in refining technology and high costs, saltpeter is not only expensive but also precious.
If Tao Qiqi wants to eat a popsicle, she not only has to spend a huge amount of money to buy saltpeter, but also has to go through all the trouble.
Because it is expensive and precious, medicine shops do not store too much saltpeter, and even if you buy it, there are restrictions.
If Tao Qiqi wants to successfully process popsicles, he will definitely need more than a little saltpeter.
So she had to go all the way to the city to buy in order to save up a certain amount.
Calculated in this way, the cost of a popsicle is almost a hundred taels. Such a sky-high price of popsicles is not made like this even if you have money.
What's more, every time she went to a place, she had to go to the city to buy saltpeter. Even if she didn't die from the heat, she would still torture herself to death.
Anyway, if others can hold her up, they can still do it, it's not so pretentious.
When you were an agent in this world, what kind of hardships did you not suffer? What does this little hardship mean?
Fortunately, I stocked up on all kinds of food when I was in Guanzhou.
Everyone will not have a hard time on the road ahead.
Jiang Ye had prepared enough rice and noodles, and Tao Qiqi had prepared enough vegetables and oil. Finally, the food in her space could secretly help the refugees from time to time, which was quite good.
Finally, after another four-day journey, they finally arrived at the first city in the south, Nanyang City!!
But I have to say that summer in the south is really hot.
Tao Qiqi and the others entered the city in the afternoon.
For the sake of convenience, they still thought of renting a yard to live in as before.
But this time they were not so lucky.
Since Nanyang City already belongs to the southern boundary, the drought situation is not as severe as in the north. Many wealthy families who fled from the north have long chosen to rent a yard to live here. When the famine years are over, it will be convenient for them to return to their hometowns.
.
When Tao Qiqi and the others came over, the empty yard was long gone.
Not only are the empty courtyards gone, but even the inns and restaurants are full of people.
After walking around in a big circle, the group couldn't find a place to stay.
"If not, let's ask the people if they have extra rooms for rent. It's okay to rent two rooms and rest for one night. Will we continue our journey tomorrow?" Tao Qiqi was already hot and sweaty, and her clothes were soaked.
You have to find a place to rest and change clothes.
"I'll ask Chang Wu to inquire about it."
Jiang Ye then found a shady place to rest for a while, and then asked Chang Wu and Chang Ning to ask if anyone was willing to rent out the room.
As a result, there was nothing gained after going around.
Until a sweet voice sounded, "Two young masters, my father heard that you were coming and was worried that you would not be able to find a place to stay, so he asked me to come and take you back to my house to rest."
