Chapter 353 How Does It Taste?

After the first batch of rice was dried, Ni Hua asked the workers to use a small rice mill to grind the rice into rice, and then said to Tang Shenyuan: "Tang Dong, how about we go to the cafeteria to taste the taste of Yexiang No. [-]?" Let's do it!"

Tang Shenyuan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Soon, the chef in the canteen cleaned up a pot of rice and cooked a table of delicious dishes...

Everyone was waiting around the rice cooker. This is a pressure cooker. About three catties of rice were put into this pot of rice. It took about 10 minutes for the pot to emit heat. A strong aroma of rice spread from the leaked water vapor. Come on, everyone will be intoxicated when they smell it!
"No wonder it's called Ye Xiang, the rice it cooks is really delicious!"

"Hehe, where are you now? Don't you know that there is a kind of Ye Xiangyou, which smells delicious when cooking, but has no smell when eating..."

"Hey, everyone seems to have forgotten one thing... Now this rice is early rice, can early rice be delicious?"

An employee who looked a bit fat knew that he was a foodie when he saw him. His eyes lit up when he heard food, but it was not appropriate to digress because of the leadership around him, but he also whispered: "Who still eats now?" Early rice, the cooked rice is so unpalatable..."

An aunt in her forties said: "I'm at home. Early rice is used to cook porridge. The porridge made from early rice is sweeter! But I still use late rice for cooking..."

Guangxi Province belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with humid climate and high rainfall, which is very suitable for rice planting. The rice here is grown twice a year, so the rice grown is divided into early rice and late rice!

The definition of early rice, middle rice and late rice in modern agronomy is mainly determined by the length of growth period.Among japonica rice and indica rice, according to their sowing period, growth period and maturity period, they can be divided into three categories: early rice, middle rice and late rice.

Generally, the growth period of early rice is 90-120 days, that of middle rice is 120-150 days, and that of late rice is 150-170 days.Their sowing and harvesting seasons also vary greatly due to the different climatic conditions in various regions.Due to the length of the growing season and the different climatic conditions, the quality of the same type of rice also shows some differences: early rice generally has a larger white belly, less hard grains, loose rice quality, and poor quality, while late rice is the opposite. The quality is better.

Therefore, farmers generally keep the better-tasting late rice for their own consumption, while selling the early rice for income.

Ni Hua and Tang Shenyuan were not surprised to see the workers discussing a lot. They are in the cafeteria now, so everyone can talk freely.Soon, the rice cooker tripped, indicating that the rice was cooked!
"Old Huang, hurry up and bring the rice spoon, how does this new rice taste like?"

The old Huang in Ni Hua's mouth is the canteen cook invited by the company, he is a very fat middle-aged man, as soon as Ni Hua, the manager, called him, he brought a stainless steel rice spoon without waiting for Ni Hua to pick it up. When it came over, a worker with a sharp eye and a quick hand took it, and quickly served the two leaders with food...

"Hey, this guy is good and has a future!"

Ni Hua secretly praised in his heart, this young man is a newly recruited college student this year, a graduate of the Agricultural University, he can't think of such sharp eyesight, but those old workers can't do it, they are holding bowls and waiting...

Soon, a small bowl of rice was placed on the table in front of Tang Shenyuan. Looking at the crystal grains of rice, Tang Shenyuan felt like a work of art, making people reluctant to eat, because the steam was still rising from the rice just out of the pot. , you can smell the strong rice fragrance as soon as you smell it, it will make you feel excited, and you will inevitably have an appetite for this rice... Tang Shenyuan first picked up chopsticks to eat at the push of Ni Hua and the others...

This tasted rice, so there was no need to serve it. A small handful of rice was put into his mouth, and Tang Shenyuan was scalded. I felt a burst of fragrance coming from my mouth, my mind was cleared up, I felt that my whole body was much stronger, and my mouth couldn't help speeding up the chewing speed...

Ni Hua and the others waited for Tang Shenyuan to finish eating, and quickly asked, "Director Tang, how does this rice taste?"

"Mmmmmmm..."

Tang Shenyuan had food in his mouth and didn't want to talk. He just waved his hand to signal Ni Hua not to worry. He just took a bite and was not sure yet. Then he took another ball of rice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. There are a lot of tricks - this rice is very soft and cooked. If you eat it right out of the pot, you can swallow it without chewing it many times, and it is different from other fragrant rice. It is fragrant when cooked but not fragrant when eaten. No. [-] is also very delicious to eat, just like those rice sellers said, this kind of delicious rice can be eaten for two or three bowls even without vegetables...

Tang Shenyuan didn't speak after eating, and only asked Ni Hua to eat too. Once Ni Hua ate, the workers also ate together. Everyone is an old worker, and they have their own understanding of what kind of rice is good. They have eaten rice for decades Rice, what kind of rice is delicious, of course, no one else needs to say!
"it is good!"

"good to eat!"

"This rice is fragrant and soft, it's good rice!"

"..."

Ni Hua took a sip and didn't rush to make a conclusion. Out of respect for Yexiang No. [-], he ate a few more mouthfuls before putting down the bowl, and exclaimed: "This kind of rice is the best rice I've ever tasted... ..."

Well, the lack of adjectives didn't hide Ni Hua's admiration for this rice!Looking at his expression, it is obvious that the results of Yexiang No. [-] are beyond his expectations. It has high yield, good taste, and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. With these three points, Yexiang No. [-] can become the new darling of farmers. It will definitely be planted in a large area, then Fenghe Seed Company will make a fortune!

This is a new variety cultivated by their Fenghe Seed Company!

I only made three catties of rice, and you and I quickly finished eating a bowl. Many people couldn't get enough of it, and the dishes on the table were hardly touched. Everyone was tasting the new rice!
Tang Shenyuan stood up and said to Ni Hua: "Mr. Ni, I would like to trouble you to instruct the workers to harvest the remaining rice these few days. After harvesting, make it into seeds. I don't care..."

What Tang Shenyuan thought was that now he could finally explain to Old Professor Wu. The old man kept urging him, but now he hasn't spoken on the phone for almost two months, and he doesn't know how he is doing now!

Tang Shenyuan took out his mobile phone and dialed Professor Wu's number, and the call was connected quickly, but it was not Professor Wu himself who answered the phone, but one of his students... When Professor Wu answered the phone, Tang Shenyuan's first In one word -

"Professor Wu, happy event, great happy event..."

"Congratulations? Are you married? If you are married, then congratulations, but I am very busy recently and may not have time to congratulate you in person... Hahaha, rest assured that the red envelope will not miss you, after all, you have helped me. Don't be too busy, we can be regarded as friends who forget the year!"

Tang Shenyuan was sweating profusely, "Professor Wu, where have you been thinking? I'm not talking about marriage... Uh, I'm getting married soon, so I'll tell you when the time comes... I'm calling this time to talk to you Say, you asked me to breed new food varieties, we have already bred them..."

"What? Really?"

"of course it's true!"
