Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 841 Salt Alkali Resistant Corn

In the office, Yang Xiaotao was sitting at the desk, Lou Xiaoe was standing sideways in front of her, and Yu Haitang was facing him. The relationship between the three of them was clear at a glance.

"Director Yang, it's like this. Our director was notified by the factory manager and arranged a lot of tasks. There are a lot of tasks from you. But now there are only a few, and it is difficult for our publicity department to do."

Yu Haitang spoke softly, looking at Yang Xiaotao while talking, trying to see some expression changes on Yang Xiaotao's face.

It's okay to even smile at her.

"I will tell Director Li about this matter."

Yang Xiaotao didn't answer, just replied, then continued to correct the document with his head bowed.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's ignorance, Yu Haitang gritted her teeth.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e knew that she was helping her, so she turned around and stood at the door. When Yu Haitang saw her, she couldn't say anything, and finally left aggrieved.

"Director, I'm off to work."

Lou Xiaoe smiled, and Yang Xiaotao waved his hand.

After the two left, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone on the table.

"Old Li, me."

"Yes, yes, I mean, this thing can't just look at the past, but also look at the future..."

Publicity Section.

Director Li hung up the phone with a troubled face.

"I don't want the reputation I got, it's really strange!"

Shaking his head towards the memorial.

After a while, Yu Haitang looked at Lou Xiao'e with a cold face and walked away with a smile.

An indescribable annoyance in my heart.

……

After eating at noon, Yang Xiaotao told Yang Youning that there are some things to deal with in the past two days, and the rolling mill may not come here.

Yang Youning also knew about Yang Xiaotao's next arrangement, and he was going to go to the Northwest next Monday. Gao Yufeng talked to him a lot about this matter in the past few days, and of course he talked more with Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Youning also knew that this matter was unusual, so Yang Xiaotao had a lot of time for himself.

What's more, now that the rolling mill is on the right track, Yang Xiaotao treats it as a vacation when he goes out for a period of time, seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, cultivating his sentiments, and then returning to continue to contribute to the rolling mill.

Driving all the way back to the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao came back suddenly, which surprised many people in the courtyard.

But looking at the jeep at the door, everyone guessed that something was urgent, and no one came forward to ask.

As soon as he entered the yard, Yang Xiaotao walked inside.

Along the way, Yang Xiaotao was concerned about the growth of the corn.

If all goes well, just like Yangcun No. [-], find high-yielding corn that can resist salt and alkali, and then find the corresponding parents and bring them to the northwest.

Taking two quick steps, Xiaowei flew out from the pile of tomatoes and landed on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, her expression not high.

In an instant, Yang Xiaotao's footsteps stopped.

Then he walked quickly to the place where he planted it last night.

The expected rows of corn seedlings did not appear, only a few scattered in front of them.

"what happened?"

"Whoa!"

Xiaowei explained in her heart.

It turned out that this morning Xiaowei ripened the seeds last night according to Yang Xiaotao's instructions, but found that some seeds could not be ripened at all.

In the end, only a few corns successfully developed, and the germ began to grow.

Yang Xiaotao frowned upon hearing this, "Could it be that the energy is not stable?"

I guessed in my heart, but looking at the sparse cornmeal, I counted only eight seedlings, which was less than one-tenth of the planted seedlings.

I couldn't help but panic.

Obviously, this is completely different from what I thought.

However, it is not bad to have a long one, at least there is still some hope.

Yang Xiaotao comforted himself in his heart, the experiment had just started to improve, how could he give up easily.

No matter how bad it is, keep trying.

Back in the room, Yang Xiaotao took out a pen and paper to think about it again, then called Xiaowei into the room, took out A, B and the other two kinds of common corn from the space, and asked Xiaowei to inject the energy from the blood willow into them .

Xiao Wei did so.

But the final result is the same as before, either shriveled, swollen, or even shriveled.

This also made Yang Xiaotao sure that at present only the C strain can be compatible with the energy in the blood willow to form a new individual.

And no other corn.

In other words, the eight corn seedlings grown in the yard are the last hope.

"Xiaowei, take good care of these corn plants, and there must be no accidents."

Things are far more serious than I thought, and there is no room for sloppy.

Xiaowei nodded, flew to the side of the corn, and began to display her abilities.

During the day, there were many people in the yard, and Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to let Xiaowei do her best, but at night, when the lights in the yard were turned off, no one cared in this corner.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after Yang Xiaotao finished his meal, Xiaowei worked hard for a long time and finally ripened the corn to the pollination period.

This time, in order to ensure stable traits, Yang Xiaotao asked Xiaowei to control them well, all of which are self-pollinated.

In the middle of the night, when all the work was done, Xiao Wei was already tired enough to climb the wall and open the window, her mouth kept opening to the moonlight, and the emerald green on her body gradually returned to turquoise.

Yang Xiaotao also took the opportunity to turn on the light to help her increase her energy.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up to check the results.

All eight corns were pollinated successfully, and under Xiaowei's care, some ears have already emerged.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao was relieved, so he drove away from the courtyard and ran all the way to Yangjiazhuang.

He's going to the northwest in a few days, and he has to talk to Ran Qiuye and the others, besides, he doesn't know how long he will be out this time.

Yang Xiaotao went back to Yangjiazhuang for one night and learned a lot.

First of all, this Monday's exam, the students have made great progress, and under the special guidance of the teacher, some problems have also been found to solve the problems.

The second is Yang Hui. Last time, Mr. Hong mentioned that he submitted the method of breeding earthworms. This time, he came directly to ask for guidance.

After discussing with Yang Dazhuang in the village, Grandpa Yang asked Yang Hui to go.

There were other people on the farm anyway.

And according to Mr. Hong's news, Chief Han intends to bring Yang Hui into the team. Of course, it depends on Yang Hui's performance.

Yang Xiaotao has no objection to this, and even thinks it is good for Yang Hui to take this path.

At least Chief Han is a trustworthy person.

After staying at home for one night, Ran Qiuye also noticed a change in Yang Xiaotao's mentality.

The most direct thing is to go back to being as shameless as before.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao picked up on the matter of experimenting with corn, and Xiaowei's unintentional surprise was also described by him as an accidental discovery.

After all, the more you explain something, the more flaws you have.

Early on Thursday morning, Yang Xiaotao drove away from Yangjiazhuang and said he would come back on Sunday.

Along the way, he was thinking about the corn in the courtyard. After driving back to the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao went straight to the courtyard of his home.

Standing at the door, Yang Xiaotao watched the eight corns grow quite tall, with broad leaves and stalks. Although the corn cobs were not big, they were not small either.

It shows that these corns have strong salt-alkaline resistance.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to the corn near him, and stretched out his hand to grab the cob.

The next second, Yang Xiaotao felt something was wrong.

The stick is very light, and when pinched by hand, there is no sense of fullness, but a bit soft.

Yang Xiaotao easily peeled off the skin, and sure enough, there were only sticks inside, not a single corn kernel.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao's breathing became heavier, and his heart felt even heavier.

Put down the stick and pick another one.

Again, no corn kernels.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't believe the result. He was ecstatic after his success the day before yesterday, thinking that he had found the right direction, and named it Blood Jade, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, if things don't end, it's hard to know whether it's good or bad!

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but they don't know that there are still mountains behind.

I broke off six corns in a row, but the result was the same, only empty cobs without a kernel of corn inside.

Yang Xiaotao was a little discouraged.

"Perhaps, failure is failure. Don't be eager!"

Thinking in his heart, he walked to the last two corns, broke them at the same time, and then peeled off the corn husks.

Huh?
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao saw a few corn kernels growing sparsely on a piece of corn.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao felt unreal.

This, as long as there are long ones, you can continue to plant them.

Really, the hard work pays off!
Yang Xiaotao carefully put the corn aside, and then opened the last one.

As a result, still nothing.

But Yang Xiaotao has already found the corn kernels, so the next experiment can continue.

"Eighteen kernels of corn."

In front of the desk, Yang Xiaotao looked at the neatly arranged corn kernels. These were carefully taken down by Xiaowei, and each one was full.

"Xiaowei, let's see what's different."

Yang Xiaotao took out a handful of C-type corn seeds and compared the two.

Xiaowei stepped forward, put her little hands on a corn kernel, and felt it carefully.

Later, Yang Xiaotao knew the most fundamental difference between the two in his heart.

The size of the energy.

"In other words, the energy contained in the blood jade is twice as much?"

"Whoa!"

"Interesting, interesting!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the eighteen seeds, and then at the ordinary seeds beside him.

Standing up suddenly, "Whatever the situation is, let's plant it first."

So, the yard got busy again.

One by one the seeds were buried in the saline-alkali soil, and after watering, Xiaowei began to "work" and Yang Xiaotao waited for the results.

Before dinner, when Yang Xiaotao went out to look, eighteen green shoots grew out.

This is a good sign, at least it can grow.

On Friday night, after a day of "dream" growth, the two extra rows of corn made the green color in the yard thicker.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the well-grown corn with wide leaves, stretched out his hand to break off the cobs, peeled them off and looked at the corn kernels inside.

At a glance, the yield of this blood jade is higher than that of C-type corn. Although there is no detailed count, [-]% of the corn cobs are covered with corn kernels.

Of course, this cob is much worse than hybrid corn, and even compared with ordinary corn, it has no advantage.

The cobs are short and the corn kernels are small, but they are grown on saline-alkali soil.

"Finally an explanation."

Yang Xiaotao's body suddenly relaxed, and this nearly half a month was exhausting both physically and mentally.

Even Xiao Wei was tired, let alone his master.

Sitting on the steps, laughing, laughing.

Everyone in the courtyard watched Yang Xiaotao's funny scene. Wang Dashan walked over, and it was obvious that Yang Xiaotao was busy working, but he didn't know what he was busy with.

"Xiaotao, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Dashan looked at the corn protruding from the ground, the head was too small, and the corn grains, if there were fewer flours.

"Uncle Wang, it's okay, it's okay. I just think of happy things, so happy!"

A few people behind Wang Dashan listened and were all curious.

But Yang Xiaotao said so, they didn't ask any more questions, and went home when they saw nothing.

The other people in the yard also dispersed after seeing each other, busy with their own business.

In Jia's house, Jia Zhang gnawed on the cornbread, heard the big noise, and stared at Yang Xiaotao with an old face, the figure of the elder under the light.

"Crazy crazy, sooner or later you will have a stroke!"

"Pooh!"

Qin Huairu on the side stared at the two bags of corn kernels in Yang Xiaotao's yard.

"It's been a long time, it's a waste, it's shameful."

Jia Zhang nodded silently.

Then they both touched their bellies.

"Huairu, why don't you go to the street office to have a look?"

After Qin Huairu heard this, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"In two days, I'll go find Sha Zhu again."

After thinking for a long time, Qin Huairu still did not give up.

Jia Zhang listened, but did not insist.

After all, that is a silly pillar.
