Scholars in the courtyard

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and dialed.

On the other end of the phone, the old dean was holding a fan and shaking it continuously. In the room, Gao Yufeng was reporting the situation. He was going to the northwest to take charge of the production of Artemisia annua this month.

Nowadays, the disease situation abroad is gradually improving. According to foreign experts, as long as it survives this winter, the toxicity will weaken, and ordinary people can treat it as a common cold after being infected.

In other words, when faced with these viruses in the future, antibiotics from abroad will be effective.

In this regard, domestic expert researchers also have conclusions in this regard. In short, this may be the last wave of dividends.

Of course, some experts believe that the mutation of the virus is unpredictable and may become more severe.

So the domestic directive is that, good or bad, preparation is a must.

Therefore, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences attaches great importance to planting areas in the northwest.

Originally we wanted Hou Lijing to take charge of the work, but now it seems that we have to send someone important to take charge.

The two were discussing their future work when they heard the phone ringing on the table.

Gao Yufeng stepped forward to help pick up the call, and then heard Yang Xiaotao's voice. He hung up the phone after saying a few words.

"Dean, this is Yang Xiaotao's call. He said that the threshing machine you mentioned is ready and he will pick you up later to check it out."

"Thresher?"

The old dean fell into memories and then remembered.

"Hey, I am forgetful as I get older. When I chatted with him last time, I asked him to help me build a machine."

"Has it been made now? It's pretty fast. I thought it would be next year."

Gao Yufeng smiled and said, "You have already spoken, but he doesn't dare to hurry up."

The old dean smiled and shook his head, "I'm old, and I only have this little respect left."

"Okay, now that it's done, let's go see what it is made of."

Gao Yufeng nodded. He happened to want to meet Yang Xiaotao. He was going to the northwest this time. If he came back, it would probably be autumn or winter.

For the rice in the south, we can only rely on this guy.

The two of them tidied up briefly at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and then came to the shaded area at the door to wait.

Not long after, the two saw an armored vehicle approaching from a distance. The two looked at each other. An armored vehicle was needed for this?

In the car, Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin watched Yang Xiaotao drive. They originally said that he was wasting gas, but now they felt the temperature difference between inside and outside, and they were speechless.

"When we go back, we can modify the jeep and install air conditioning, so we don't have to drive an armored vehicle."

"This thing consumes too much fuel."

Yang Xiaotao said to Yang Youning, the co-pilot, while driving.

"If you can, just do it."

Yang Youning said something, but he didn't object.

If he modified his Jeep, how could he lose theirs?

As for Liu Huaimin, he was currently holding a camera and was lost in thought.

This time the situation happened suddenly and he needed to think carefully.

Of course, this opportunity is also rare!

The machinery factory has encountered a lot of things recently, and even many problems have arisen in the internal audit, which gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.

If we can perform well this time, it will be a turning point for the entire machinery factory!

The car stopped at the entrance of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the car. He suddenly felt a heat wave coming from around him, and his whole body felt like he was in a sauna.

"Old Dean, Director Gao!"

Yang Xiaotao said hello, and Yang Youning came down to meet them.

Then the five people got in the car again, and Yang Xiaotao made a U-turn.

"Your car is so cool."

The old dean wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt the steel inside with great curiosity.

Yang Youning smiled on the side, "This is an air-conditioned truck we specially installed. Otherwise, such a big iron can would be suffocated to death."

Gao Yufeng nodded, and then asked about the threshing machine.

It was difficult for Yang Xiaotao to talk while driving, so Yang Youning explained from the side.

When they heard that a machine could produce one ton of grain in an hour, the two of them just thought there must be moisture in the air.

However, after seeing that Yang Xiaotao had no objection, he suddenly realized that if this matter was true, what benefits would it bring?

The two of them made eye contact, and their moods fluctuated with the bumps of the car.

The car stopped at the first branch factory. Sun Guo, who had been waiting here for a long time, was sitting on the tractor. Behind it was the threshing machine that was ready.

Several people got out of the car. Except for Yang Xiaotao, it was the first time for the other four people to see it.

Arriving quickly, Sun Guo stepped forward to explain.

The old dean ignored the hot iron sheet and touched it with his own hands, feeling the hardness of the steel. He listened to Sun Guo's explanation and was amazed.

"The name of the red type automatic threshing machine is too random."

Yang Youning muttered on the side, while Yang Xiaotao ignored him.

If I were to give this guy a name, I would probably just change it to another word.

"Chief, let's go to the village and try it first."

Yang Xiaotao saw that the old dean was still asking questions, so he stepped forward to interrupt, mainly because it was really hot in the sun.

"Yes, yes, let's go first, first."

The old dean said enthusiastically, already thinking that even if it only achieves half of the effect Yang Xiaotao said, he must vigorously promote it in the name of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

When Yang Xiaotao saw this, he was about to pull the old dean into the car. Unexpectedly, the old dean said that he would go with the thresher. As he said that, he stood next to Sun Guo and urged him to leave quickly.

Not only him, but Gao Yufeng, Liu Huaimin and others also wanted to ride on the tractor. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao was able to give up the idea of ​​riding in an armored vehicle.

Another tractor drove from the No. 1 branch, and Yang Xiaotao drove behind the thresher and rushed to the village against the sun.

In the carriage, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning sat next to Gao Yufeng. Each of the three of them held a cattail leaf fan and kept shaking it.

Behind them were three security personnel from the No. 1 branch.

Although it felt a bit redundant, no one said anything.

Not long after, two tractors arrived at the village on the outskirts. Before entering the village, they saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village. The leading ones must have gone to the first branch factory last night. They looked at the strange threshing machine from a distance. , immediately waved his arms and shouted.

Many people behind him cheered, and then some people ran out and beat gongs and drums, as if welcoming their relatives home.

Yang Xiaotao drove behind Sun Guo, but he couldn't see clearly what was going on at the front. He could only hear the roar of gongs and drums and the roar of people in front.

"Look, what is that!"

Suddenly, Yang Youning pointed forward and shouted loudly in the carriage. Liu Huaimin and Liu Huaimin also stood up and tried to look forward.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and could only vaguely see a piece of cloth or something. There should be words on it, but he couldn't see clearly, so he drove carefully.

The road was full of potholes and I didn't dare to take my hands off the handle. If I were not careful, some people in the car would suffer.

However, Yang Xiaotao could not see clearly, but Yang Youning could see clearly, and the look on his face was even brighter.

Liu Huaimin and Gao Yufeng also felt happy when they saw the words on the banner, "Workers and peasants are one family, not bad!"

Behind them was a group of people beating gongs and drums and holding banners.

Liu Huaimin was so happy that he immediately picked up the camera!

Now the material is available!

When the tractor stopped, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the banner hanging on a tree not far away, and saw the people in the crowd, and immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that the people in the village are not stupid. After seeing the machines of the No. 1 branch last night, they came back and immediately reported to the villages and towns above.

As a result, the leaders of the village and town arrived before dawn.

After learning about the situation, I immediately asked someone to make a banner.

"Commanders and leaders, welcome everyone!"

"On behalf of the whole town, I would like to thank the comrades workers..."

The leading middle-aged man is not tall, but he is the top leader in the town.

Behind him were several leaders of the town, and on the far side were the village chief and the captain, nodding and smiling.

However, after learning the identities of the old dean Liu Huaimin and others, this leader immediately looked similar to the village chief next to him.

The difference in identity between the two parties is not even a tiny bit!

Especially when he looked at Yang Xiaotao, he was even more surprised and shocked.

At first, he thought that Yang Xiaotao was a nobody like the security guards who came.

But after getting to know him, he discovered that this young man was actually the number two figure.

That's right, that long name made everyone present feel that this young man was the official.

At least he is older than several other middle-aged people!

Of course, compared to the people from the town, the people in the village still focused more on the threshing machine behind them.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Yang Youning took over the task of introducing the threshing machine.

Naturally, this guy is indeed a propaganda person. In addition to promoting the machinery factory, he also did not forget to bring the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

From the beginning, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences wanted to solve problems for farmers, but the machinery factory started the design and finally built it, which is the current Red One automatic threshing machine.

Although there are not many links, a lot can be said when expanded upon.

In particular, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' consideration for the people was highlighted. Yang Xiaotao of the Machinery Factory designed the drawings, and the first branch took over the task.

People all over the world say that at least in terms of propaganda, we have achieved equal exposure to rain and dew, and the workers and peasants are one family.

Although everyone was standing under the sun, Yang Youning's eloquence was outstanding, and what he said was what everyone liked to hear, so they didn't feel hot.

The top leader of the town is a standard compliment, and he cooperates with Yang Youning to boost the atmosphere.

The applause came one after another, and everyone thanked them.

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to stand in the sun and wait. Besides, what Lao Yang said was what he taught himself, otherwise he wouldn't know how to turn on the phone.

When he came to the poplar tree on the roadside, Yang Xiaotao looked at the time. If he didn't start, it would probably be noon.

Of course, he also knew that this thing had to be publicized, otherwise the aroma of wine would be too deep in the alley.

If this threshing machine is to be popularized quickly, it must be promoted in all aspects.

"Ouch!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was thinking about the follow-up promotion plan, Sun Guo's voice came to his ears.

Then I saw Sun Guo scratching his arm and tickling him.

Yang Xiaotao looked and saw that Sun Guo's arm was swollen and red. Not only that, several other places were also swollen.

This look made Yang Xiaotao immediately tremble in memory, and he quickly looked up.

Just above the heads of their family, many poplar leaves had been eaten, leaving only the stems, and inside these leaves, gray-green caterpillars crawled from time to time.

"Young spicy guy, Uncle Sun, leave quickly."

When Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he had already ran out.

When Sun Guo heard the sound, he didn't care about scratching his itch and hurriedly ran out.

Yang Lazi, why did you forget this thing?

The two of them ran away to the sun. No matter how hot it was, they did not dare to go under the tree again.

After a while, Yang Youning finished speaking, and the old dean said a few words, and he couldn't wait to give it a try.

So, Sun Guo endured the numbness in his arm and insisted on driving the thresher to the threshing floor, and then at Liu Huaimin's signal, he took over the photography task.

The car was very good. Yang Xiaotao went to the battle in person to start debugging the equipment, and then started the threshing machine in front of everyone's expectant eyes.

A rumbling sound was heard, and Yang Youning stood in front of the feed port with his sleeves rolled up, saying that he would do this job no matter what.

Gao Yufeng also stood on the other side when he saw this, so that the two of them fed the materials and took up the main work.

Liu Huaimin saw that he didn't get a good job, so he picked up the fork beside him and prepared to pick the wheat straw apart.

As for the old dean, he also wanted to do some work, but was stopped by everyone.

At this age, just write down the numbers on the side, don't be stubborn.

As the machine was running, the wheat heads that had been cut were continuously sent in by Yang Youning and Gao Yufeng, and soon there was a noisy sound inside.

The surroundings also became flying with grass debris, and under the sweat, many people felt that a layer of dust was spread on their faces.

Yang Xiaotao came to the side and took over the gate knife to help cut the wheat. Seven or eight gate knives around him worked together, and each of them had a team of people holding wheat and then sent the cut wheat to Yang Youning and the others.

Everyone couldn't hear clearly what they said, so they could only communicate in a simple way and do their own job.

Shouts came one after another.

Here wheat had to be transported, there were bags full and there was a lack of people to transport them, and the threshed wheat had to be spread out to dry.

For a moment, sweat, wheat straw, broken leaves and dust filled the threshing floor and covered the sky.

The sound of machines, shouts, encouragement, and scolding came one after another around, making it very noisy.

However, when everyone saw the wheat flowing out continuously, they all had the same expression on their faces.

Surprise and hope!
