The strongest peasant city

Chapter 528 Composition
Without Longquan fine wine, Gu Feitian took a few mouthfuls of food and said, "It's such a good food without wine, what a waste." Zhang Ziqiu said with a half smile, "Didn't you say that your liver is not good? , can't you drink?"

Gu Feitian said coyly: "My liver is very strange. He will get sick when he drinks good wine, but it's much easier to talk to our own wine! Ziqiu, don't talk nonsense, go and get it!"

Then he turned his head and smiled at Li Xiaogang: "Don't look at us as a barren desert, but one thing is produced."

Zhang Ziqiu got up to get the wine, Li Xiaogang asked with interest: "What is it?"

Gu Feitian touched a few times from his bosom, took out a few long beard-like grass roots, and said, "Bulb grass!"

"This...is this grass?" Li Xiaogang took the so-called grass bulb from his hand, and found that the root system of the bulb grass was unusually developed, layer upon layer, like a big net woven.

And at the top of the root system, there is a small green ball about the size of a ping-pong ball, which should be the aboveground part of the bulb grass.

Gu Feitian said slowly: "We are located in a desert, and what we lack the most is water. In order to absorb more water, these plants are desperately developing their own root systems, so that they can take root deeper and get closer to the groundwater. some!"

Li Xiaogang cheered up and said: "Since the bulbous grass can survive here, it means that there is indeed water under the desert! Right?"

Gu Feitian smiled and said: "That's natural! It's just that the groundwater is stored in a deep place. You can understand it by looking at these roots. But what I want to tell you is not the problem of water, but the grass root. You can eat it and taste it." taste?"

Li Xiaogang cut off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as he bit his teeth, a stream of sweet juice flowed out and filled between his teeth and lips. He couldn't help laughing: "It's so sweet! There is also a faint Grassy fragrance, but without the slightest earthy smell, really good!"

Gu Feitian laughed and said: "You like it too, don't you? This is our daily snack. Everyone puts a few in their pockets and chews them when they have nothing to do. But the biggest advantage of this bulb grass is that it can be used as a snack. brewing."

"Winemaking!? Can this be made into wine?" Zhou Zongnan, as a senior botanist, is naturally familiar with this special plant that grows in the depths of the desert. He even knows that it can be eaten, but he never thought of it. This one can also be used for wine making! "What? You don't believe me? No, here we come!"

Gu Feitian pointed to Zhang Ziqiu who staggered over with a large wine jar and said.

Zhang Ziqiu patted the wine jar in his hand and said: "I went to the cellar a few times and found that the two jars are delicious enough. One jar is here, and I will share the other jar with my comrades!"

Gu Feitian smiled and nodded, and then opened the clay seal with one hand, and a strong smell of wine came out. Li Xiaogang frowned and said, "It's really wine! The taste is quite fragrant!"

Gu Feitian said with a smile: "Try it first and then talk!"

After speaking, he poured a large bowl for everyone, Li Xiaogang picked up the wine bowl, looked it over carefully, and found that the wine made from bulb grass had a pure milky white color, a bit like diluted milk .

Smell it, although the fragrance is strong, but not long-lasting.

After drinking it down, Li Xiaogang felt more of the sweetness, but the spiciness of the wine was negligible, and the aroma was also lacking. It didn't feel like real wine. It would be more appropriate to call it a drink.

Seeing Li Xiaogang's brows furrowed slightly, Gu Feitian laughed and said, "This bulbous grass is grass after all, with too little alcohol and a lot of sugar, so the brewed wine is more like a drink. But In this desolate desert, drinking this is already worth laughing at, so just make do with it!"

"Wow, the taste is very good, so special!"

There was an exclamation, it turned out that Li Shuang couldn't help being curious and took a sip secretly.

Seeing Li Shuang's satisfied expression, Qin Qin picked up the wine bowl suspiciously and took a sip, followed by admiration in the next second, saying repeatedly: "It's really good, I've never had such a delicious drink before. Woolen cloth."

Seeing Qin Qin and Li Shuang's satisfied looks, Li Xiaogang's heart was moved, and he was a little curious. If wine heart grass was added to this wine, what would the result be?Although the taste of Longquan fine wine is excellent, it is also favored by consumers and has brought countless economic benefits to Longquan Group. However, Longquan Group has always been plagued by the problem of single varieties.

It's not that Li Xiaogang didn't think about adding varieties, but he suffered from lack of good inspiration.

It would be nice if we could take the opportunity to create a drink that is widely loved by people all over the world.

After all, there seem to be more people who don't drink than there are people who drink.

Li Xiaogang asked Gu Feitian: "Brother Gu, are there many bulb grasses like this?"

Zhou Zongnan smiled and said, "I can answer this for you! Bulb grass is a common plant that lives in the desert. As long as you are willing to look for it, it can be found everywhere."

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's good!"

Seeing Li Xiaogang's pensive look, Qin Qin couldn't help asking curiously: "Hey, what the hell did you think of?" Li Xiaogang glanced at her and stuffed the whole bulb grass into his mouth Li, chewed hard, and said: "If you talk to me again, I will ignore you in the future!"

Qin Qin stuck out her tongue playfully, and said loudly, "Hey, I was wrong! Hey, can you forgive me? Hey, go to hell!"

Li Xiaogang curled his lips, his face was full of helplessness, but Zhou Zongnan, Gu Feitian and the others couldn't stop laughing.

No matter it is wine or beverage, as long as you treat it as wine, you can drink the taste of wine.

Everyone is having a great time drinking one cup and one bowl.The atmosphere is also more active.

Gu Feitian has completely let go of the last trace of scruples, put his arm around Li Xiaogang's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Brother, tell Brother Gu, you are here for sightseeing in this desert, right?"

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Traveling? Do you think I have such a good life?"

"Then what are you here for? And you said you wanted to borrow my prisoner for use, what exactly are you using it for? What do you mean?" Gu Feitian asked repeatedly while hugging Li Xiaogang eagerly.

Li Xiaogang said two words mysteriously, "Plant trees!"

"Plant trees!?" Gu Feitian was stunned on the spot, couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard correctly, right? You want to plant trees in this desert? Don't you know that the sand under our feet is The most ruthless, they will only devour life, never give birth to life. If I am not crazy, then you must be crazy!"

Li Xiaogang took a sip of his wine and said: "The desert is ruthless, but people are sentimental! Here, on this ruthless desert under our feet, don't there still be men with affection and intentions like you? Your concern for comrades , love and care for the prisoners, which moved me. I firmly believe that the merciless people will be able to conquer the merciless desert!"

Gu Feitian smiled wryly and said: "These are two different things. Conquering the desert is useful or not? That requires wisdom!"

Li Xiaogang laughed and said: "We don't lack wisdom. Come on, let me introduce you to these friends of mine." Pointing to Li Xiang, he said: "This is a well-known student from the Agricultural University of S province. Professor, now he is independently presiding over the operation of a scientific research institute." After speaking, he turned to Zhou Keqing and Zhou Zongnan and said, "These two, one is a national treasure-level professor of the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University, and the other is an authoritative academician of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It enjoys a high reputation internationally."

After speaking, Li Xiaogang glanced at Li Shuang and Qin Qin, and said, "...wait a minute"

Li Xiaogang's words made Li Shuang and Qin Qin very angry. They pinched Li Xiaogang's waist fiercely, one left and one right, and shouted angrily: "Wait? Who of us said wait? What do you mean? Do you look down on others?" Li Xiaogang endured the pain, apologized repeatedly, and then let the two girls let him go.

Hearing the identities of these people, each one was bigger than the other, Gu Feitian was surprised. He looked at Li Xiaogang and asked, "What about you, brother? Are you also a scientist?"

Li Xiaogang said with some shame: "It's really humiliating that such a noble word as a scientist falls on my head. I'm just a..."

"He is a profiteer!"

Qin Qin followed Li Xiaogang's words as if revenge.

Li Xiaogang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You heard me, I'm just a profiteer." With scientific research strength and financial support, the team in front of him seemed to be really aiming at conquering the desert.

Gu Feitian was heartbroken and asked: "So, what you said earlier is true?" Li Xiaogang said with a wry smile: "Or do you really think we are here to play?"

Gu Feitian frowned and asked, "Could it be possible to plant trees in the desert here?"

Li Xiaogang nodded and said: "Now the theoretical research has been completed, this time we are here to do experiments, so I hope Brother Gu can support and help!"

"Success! If you can really turn this endless desert into a lush green forest, I will help you even if I do my best!"

Gu Feitian said excitedly.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said: "Our goal is not to turn this place into a forest, but to turn this place into the largest farming base in the world, and let this place become the new granary of our country! A few years later, when you When you look out of the window, what you see will no longer be the sand all over the sky, but a field of grain swaying gently in the wind.

Golden wheat, green corn, soybeans, even grapes, orchards, by then, you will be able to eat fresh vegetables every day, and you will no longer have to eat pickles..."

Listening to Zhang Qing's description in his ear, Gu Feitian seemed to be taken by Li Xiaogang to a wonderful place full of vitality and beauty.

The scenery there is picturesque, and people's lives are comfortable and relaxed. On the green grassland, everyone sings and dances, and joyous laughter permeates the entire vineyard.

Gu Feitian felt that he was a bit overwhelmed, and was immersed in the bright future described by Li Xiaogang.

But will that day really come?Looking at Li Xiaogang's star-like eyes, Gu Feitian said firmly in his heart: "Yes, there will be such a day!"
