I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 347 346. Export of Products

   The Mid-Autumn Festival is less than a month away, and hairy crabs are starting to be listed one after another.

  Compared to the 22-year-old Tingtao crab and bathing crab, the 82-year-old hairy crab can be described as pure blood and pure fidelity.

   Now, whether it is Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs or Taihu Lake hairy crabs, whether it is Gucheng Lake hairy crabs or Weishan Lake hairy crabs, this will definitely not be fake.

  Wang Yi couldn't eat pure Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in 22 years, so he couldn't eat vomit in 1982?

   Not only can he eat and vomit himself, but now he has a boat, he can buy a boat of pure Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs and bring them back for 22 years to set up a big gift box sales route for the production team Dazao and Zhong Shiping's archipelago memories.

  How to buy hairy crabs these days? Through the supply and marketing company quasi-spec!

   So Wang Yi went to Wang Xianghong and said, "It's autumn now, and it's time to eat hairy crabs. Tell Manager Xu and let him help you get a boat of hairy crabs. Our restaurant can sell some hairy crabs to entertain customers."

Wang Xianghong said: "Hairy crabs are a good thing, I don't need Lao Xu's help. I'm waiting to go to the county to make a phone call. I have an old comrade-in-arms in Gusu. He works in Yangcheng Lake Aquatic Products Factory, and he can buy them through him. ."

  Wang Yi was overjoyed when he heard it.

   Is there such a hard relationship?

Wang Xianghong continued: "But I can't buy a boat. The sales of these hairy crabs in each region are quite numerous. At most, we can get 1,800 catties. In 1978, I bought 200 catties to send to the members' families for the Mid-Autumn Festival. holiday gift."

  Wang Yi said: "The members are not very keen on hairy crabs, right?"

   Wang Xianghong nodded: "Well, hairy crabs are delicious, but the crabs of the outer islands such as swimming crabs and Shijiahong are also delicious."

  Wang Yi said: "This year, we will not send hairy crabs, but moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival! I have already contacted my classmates in Yangcheng to buy moon cake molds and an oven through him, so that we can bake moon cakes day and night."

"Flour, sugar, and oil, all of which are available in our sales department. In this way, we have a mold and an oven. Let him give me some recipes and tutorials. This year, we will make moon cakes by ourselves. It will take another ten days and a half months. , make moon cakes ten days and seven days in advance and start selling."

   This year, moon cakes do not need to be sold several days in advance, and there is no market.

  Moon cakes are still quite a rare food, and the price is not cheap.

  The adults in every household can buy it before the Mid-Autumn Festival. They don’t usually buy it in advance, otherwise the children will steal it and eat it.

  Wang Xianghong immediately took off the cigarette stick he was biting in his mouth when he heard this: "How can you still fiddle with this good thing?"

  Wang Yi said: "Hey, isn't it easy? Cantonese mooncakes are famous all over the world. They have such a machine there. If you have money, you can buy it."

   "We are not short of money." Wang Xianghong smiled, "The public restaurant business is very good, and the six sons are busy in Shanghai. Now the collective account of our team has too much money, and it has become a bank!"

  Wang Yi asked curiously, "How many?"

   Wang Xianghong looked to the left and right, there was no one there, but he still whispered to him: "It's almost 100,000!"

   "So many?" Wang Yi asked in surprise.

  100,000 is a lot of money.

   There are a total of 145 households in the team. If all members share dividends, then on average, each household can pay 500 to 600 yuan!

   Wang Xianghong smiled and said, "It's better to buy a generator and buy this and that, or it will cost more!"

   "Currently, the team's collective account has one quarter's worth of money, and the third quarter is a little over two months away. If this month is added, I'm afraid there will be 200,000!"

  Wang Yi nodded and said: "Almost, the public restaurant plus Liuzi's sales in Shanghai, it is no problem to earn the past two months' money this month."

  Wang Xianghong said enthusiastically: "I don't dare to say that it is too dead. After all, the cold vegetable business in July and August is very good. You see that the temperature is cold today. I guess from this month, the cold vegetable business will die?"

  Wang Yi said: "The cold dish business is not good. Let's sell sugar-fried chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes. The business is booming!"

   Wang nodded to Hong and said, "If we have a moon cake machine again, and our members learn to make moon cakes, then the profit here should be not small."

  The food factory in Haifu County cannot produce moon cakes, so every year, the moon cakes in the county are purchased from the city and sold by department stores and various supply and marketing cooperatives.

   But the fishermen on the outer islands are generally afraid to enter department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the city. The fishermen are not used to entering such high-end places.

   They are guilty.

   So Wang Xianghong found a business opportunity:

  If their team can produce mooncakes and go to various islands to sell them, they will definitely sell well!

have to say.

  Money is a good thing.

  The old party secretary who used to be old-fashioned and conservative watched the team's savings increase day by day, and his mind became wild.

   Another thing is that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the members of the staff made zongzi by themselves, which also encouraged him.

  The members can make delicious dumplings, so learning to make delicious mooncakes is not a big problem, right?

   So the only thing he is worried about now is: "Can I really buy a mooncake baking machine? I heard that the food factory in our county went to buy it, but I didn't."

  Wang Yi said: "Impossible, their buyers must be lazy. Let me tell you the secretary, in fact, the Yangcheng side doesn't pay much attention to the ticket..."

   "You're talking about Pengcheng, right? I heard on the radio that Pengcheng plans to cancel the ticket system of food stamps and meat stamps in two years." Wang Xianghong narrowed his eyes, "I don't know if this plan will work."

   "If only it worked!"

   He is conservative and refuses to accept the big contract policy, resists the disbanding of the team's collective life system, and welcomes the cancellation of the ticket system with both hands.

  Farmers and fishermen are really trapped by tickets, they are so hard!

  Wang Yi said: "My classmates wrote to me and said this, so some of the products they have piled up now don't need tickets, and the machines that bake moon cakes don't have tickets anymore. This is the confidence I can buy."

   "Actually, it will take another five to seven or eighty days at most to get to Wengzhou. The last time I went to Shanghai, I called him to urge him to come, and he said at the time that the logistics will be delivered in the next two days."

   "What is logistics?" Wang Xianghong asked curiously.

   This was a word he had never heard of.

  Wang Yi explained: "The flow of goods is distributed. Cars are like rivers transporting wood. The continuous supply of goods to various places is car distribution."

  Wang Xianghong nodded again and again: "Xingxingxing, you have to worry about the communal, team and enterprise affairs. I will help you in this matter. You are a leading cadre, you are the first, and I am the second."

   The two briefly communicated the work plan for this month.

   Then Wang Xianghong said that he was preparing a meeting of representatives of members and party members to arrange the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  The weather was cold, so Wang Yi went to the freezer and took out some big bones and let them stew in a colander. The big bones were soup with noodles.

  The big bones were stewed for more than half an hour, and three pots of steaming bone soup were simmered. The sloppy water splattered with oil, and the fragrance of the stewed big bones wafted all over the island.

   The longer this soup is simmered, the better, but it’s too late, and bone broth stewed in a colander usually doesn’t simmer for a long time.

   I can't cook the bones for firewood.

   A big bone needs to be stewed at least three times, and it must be stewed three times to get a good taste.

After the bone broth was simmered, I made noodles, and finally sprinkled chopped green onions into the pot one by one. Wang Yi threw a few thick soup treasures into it. The noodles that came out did not need to be salted or seasoned, and were delicious enough. .

  Wang Yi brought a bowl of noodles to eat at the door, and asked the colander, "What's for lunch?"

  The colander said, "I saw a lot of pork ribs in the bones you showed me this morning, so how about making pork ribs rice?"

  Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, then these ribs are not enough, I will go to the freezer to clean up and take out all the ribs."

   He has restocked the freezer, and picked up 40 to 50 kilograms of spare ribs.

   The students saw so many meat discharges in the pot, their eyes really shone: "Is there any meat to eat?"

  The colander smiled and said, "Just look at the light in your eyes when you eat meat, and eat pork ribs and rice at noon!"

   "What is pork ribs with rice? Are pork ribs cooked with rice?" the students asked curiously.

  The colander said: "You'll know it by the beginning of noon, it's delicious and warm, so you have the strength to fight in the afternoon!"

  A delicious lunch is always the best way to motivate students' enthusiasm for learning.

   So with a big bowl of pork bone soup noodles, the students enthusiastically began to recite the text:

   "aoe, a, the doctor checked the mouth and said 'a'! o, the rooster croaked and called 'o'! e, the 'e' of the big white goose!"

   "Autumn! The sky is so high and so blue. There are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. There are rice fields that can't be seen at a glance. The rice is ripe, and the yellow color is like a floor of gold!"

   "Bridge! Early in the morning, I came to the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge. Today's weather is exceptionally good, with white clouds floating in the blue sky. The bridge looks very magnificent in the bright sunshine..."

   "Sanwei Shuwu! Sanwei Shuwu was a book school decades ago, and now it is part of the Lu Xun Memorial Hall. There is a painting on the wall in the middle of the bookstore. Under the ancient pine tree lies a sika deer..."

"Sunrise at sea! To watch the sunrise, I often get up early. At that time, it was not bright and the surroundings were very quiet. I could only hear the sound of the machinery in the boat. The sky was still light blue, very light and very shallow. There is a red glow in the place where I picked up..."

  Wang Yi listened to the students' morning reading and looked at the sea and sky in the distance.

   There is no sun rising today, only the endless surging of the boundless waves.

   Inadvertently he suddenly realized.

   Today is Bailu.

   The cool breeze blows, and the island has a sense of autumn!

  Someone came by boat in the middle of the morning.

  Wang Yi saw that he was an acquaintance, Huang Hui, a classmate in the same dormitory at No. 1 Middle School.

  Huang Hui came up to greet him and asked, "I heard that your school is now strong, with more teachers than our school?"

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, there are indeed a few more teachers who have joined our team. You don't have class this morning? Why do you come to see me when you have time?"

  Huang Hui said: "There are classes, the first and fourth classes are mine, so if there is time in between, I will come out to find you to buy something - I will come to buy blankets, do you have blankets in your store now?"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes, the weather is cold, so I really need to prepare a blanket."

   He led Huang Hui to the sales department and opened a box, which contained neatly folded blankets.

  The style of the blanket is combined with the style of the 1980s, with some bright red patterns on the whole body pink, some with the word "Happiness", some with the phoenix flying together, and some with pine and cypress.

   But the style is retro and the texture is not retro. These blankets are raschel blankets, which are double thickened, warm and skin-friendly.

   In contrast, the blankets sold in the countryside these days are not good enough to look at. The fluff on them is very rough, and if you cover your naked body with the blankets, you will not be able to sleep if you are scratched.

  Huang Hui was moved when he touched the blanket.

  This blanket is warm to the touch, and feels very good, very soft and comfortable.

   he asked: "What kind of material is this blanket? I have never seen such a good one."

  Wang Yi said: "I don't know the specific material, but I bought it from Shanghai."

  Huang Hui said: "No wonder, this is a product of Hudu Light Industry."

In the 1970s and 1980s, the light industry in Hudu was the pinnacle of manufacturing in the Republic. No matter where the residents in urban or rural areas, many people bought goods in Hudu, as long as they had labels and the labels could prove that they came from Hudu, they would not tear off the labels. , but with the label for a period of time.

  Huang Hui looked for the label as soon as he got the blanket, but he couldn't find it, and he felt very sorry.

   He asked again, "Isn't it expensive for this blanket to be so good?"

  Wang Yi said: "It's not cheap. I'll give you the ex-factory price, fifteen yuan. In fact, if you look at it in the Hudu Department Store, the cheapest blanket is twenty yuan. I'm still a high-end fabric."

  Huang Hui will scoff when others say that their products are high-end products, as a reason to raise the price.

   But Wang Yi said he had no doubts.

   It's not that he believes Wang Yi too much, but that he has touched this product, the fabric is really good, and he will definitely buy it.

   So he carefully groped for the blanket again and sighed, "It's really comfortable, it's so slippery."

   So he asked, "Can I buy two?"

  Wang Yi said: "Okay, we are classmates, I don't make your money, lest people tell our jokes behind their backs."

  Huang Hui said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wang, thank you."

   He took out the money from his trouser pocket, took out three pieces of Great Unity and looked at it carefully, confirming that the money was okay and handed it to Wang Yi.

   "Can I choose two patterns myself?"

"Row."

  Wang Yi's performance was very refreshing.

  Huang Hui had a class behind him, so he bought a blanket and left.

  Wang Yi went back to continue the class, but at the end of the third class, he saw Mao Haichao, another teacher in the same dormitory.

  Mao Haichao and Huang Hui are both teachers of the primary school on Jinlan Island. Huang Hui came back and he came back again. Wang Yi could guess what he came to buy with his butt:

   "You want to buy a blanket too?"

  Mao Haichao rubbed his hands together and smiled: "Mr. Huang took the blanket back and showed it to our colleagues in the office. It's a good thing, it's a really good thing. I not only bought it myself, but the teachers in our office asked me to buy it."

  Wang Yi said: "We are classmates. I will sell it to you at the ex-factory price. If your colleagues want to buy it, then I have to sell it at the market price."

   "After all, I was able to get these goods not only because of the travel expenses, but to be honest, I also gave gifts to the leaders of the factory logistics, and then they gave me some indicators."

  Mao Haichao smacked his lips and asked with a smiling face: "Look at our two islands are neighbors, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors..."

   Wang Yi said: "Mr. Mao, don't make it difficult for me!"

   Mao Haichao sighed and said, "Okay, the ex-factory price is 20 yuan, what is the market price?"

  Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment: "Mr. Huang told you that the ex-factory price is 20 yuan?"

   Mao Haichao nodded subconsciously.

   Wang Yi is happy.

  Huang Hui is quite a reliable person, and he knows how to deal with him in a reasonable and reasonable manner.

   He said frankly to Mao Haichao: "The ex-factory price of this blanket is 15 yuan, and the market price is 20 yuan."

   "But I asked Mr. Huang to go back and say that the ex-factory price is 20 yuan, so if your colleagues and friends ask you to buy this blanket, you can still take it back for 20 yuan."

   Mao Haichao was overjoyed when he heard it: "Old Huang, this shit, I didn't tell the truth when I went back."

   He was ready to buy this blanket for twenty bucks.

   Twenty yuan is a lot, and his half-month salary!

   It's just that this blanket is really good material and craftsmanship, and it's a famous brand product produced in Shanghai, so he gritted his teeth and decided to buy one.

   It turned out that the actual price of the blanket was fifteen yuan, and he felt that he had earned five yuan.

  When he was happy, he also bought two, and gave one to each of the three teachers.

   After choosing the blanket, he didn't leave, and continued to ask, "Hey, Mr. Wang, is it true that every household in your team has a radio now?"

Wang Yi said: "It's not a radio, we are a large collective responsibility producer. The collective account of the production team paid me money for parts, and then I led our team to each household. Assembled a radio."

   Mao Haichao lay on the counter and looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelf, and was very envious.

   He didn't know whether he was envious of so many products or the radio that every household had.

   Anyway, his expression is quite complicated.

   Wang Yi asked: "Are you still busy?"

Mao Haichao sneered and said: "Mr. Wang, your eyes are still so sharp, you can see my thoughts all at once, what, I, I have never had a radio at home, it will be September 12th in a few days, from 12th to 25th. The number is the day of the World Women's Volleyball Championship."

  Wang Yi asked: "Ah? The women's volleyball world championship is coming soon?"

  Mao Haichao asked suspiciously: "Yeah, the ninth World Women's Volleyball Championship is held in Peru, you don't even know?"

  Wang Yi shook his head: "No one in our team mentioned this."

   Mao Haichao said: "This is really not right."

   is indeed a bit inappropriate.

   Now the women's volleyball world championship is an important event, not only the women's volleyball world championship, but all foreign events of the women's volleyball team are very important!

   Just a few years ago, the reform and opening up had just begun, and the country was in a state of ruin. No matter from the perspective of national development or personal struggle, it needed a kind of spiritual inspiration to guide this huge nation out of confusion and towards hope.

   At the end of 1979, China resumed its seat in the International Olympic Committee, and Chinese sports were able to go to the world together with this world.

   At this time, the Chinese women's volleyball team appeared.

  The Iron Maiden won the Women's Volleyball World Cup last year with their tenacious fighting spirit. This is the first time that China's big ball has achieved such an excellent result in a world-level event.

   From this, we can see what kind of pride, encouragement and encouragement this was to the Chinese people at that time.

   However, the spirit of the women's volleyball team has not yet been raised, and they have just taken the first step of five consecutive world championships.

Now only Wang Yi knows what miracles Sun Jinfang, Zhang Rongfang, Lang Ping, and Chen Zhaodi will create. The 10th World Championships won consecutive championships.

   They will create the greatest record in the history of Chinese football!

   Later, the best results of other big **** were also runners-up in world-class competitions. Of course, if the men's football team can win a runner-up.

  But if the men's football team needs to take the runner-up in the international competition, only two countries can participate!

  Wang Yi doesn't want to follow the trend and mock the men's football team, but he has to say something fair for the sea cucumber:

  As the treasures of the outer islands, the sea cucumbers said that if they were to be eaten by male football players, it would be better to rot directly on the seabed!

   So I heard that in a few days, I will be able to witness the Iron Maidens' double championship, Wang Yi suddenly became interested—

   Do we have to bring a TV to the island?

   And Mao Haichao only wanted to have a radio, he asked: "Mr. Wang, you must know the importance of this game?"

   "Last year, our country's women's volleyball players won the championship for the country, and this year may be even more brilliant, so can you help me assemble a radio? I can buy it at the price of the Changjiang brand radio."

  Wang Yi said: "Well, don't buy our assembled radios. These radios are prone to problems. Members of our team can come to me directly for maintenance. How can you be convenient in Cam Ranh?"

   "Someone in our team replaced the next radio. It is a Kaige brand radio produced by Hudu Radio No. 4 Factory. Although this is an old machine, it has not been used a few times. It is well protected and is just like new."

   He asked Mao Haichao to wait a bit, and went to listen to Tao Ju into the space-time house and moved the radio out.

  82 was almost the last year or two that radios maintained their high status in the consumer market. From 1984 and 1985, radios would fly into the homes of ordinary people.

   Since the 1970s, various provinces have set up radio factories and broadcasting equipment factories to produce radios. Most of the machine models they produce are imitations of classic models in Shanghai and nationally designed products.

  These brands are rich in local characteristics, and the price of the popular machine is 30 to 50 yuan. In the 1980s, China became the world's largest producer of radios, and its output ranks first in the world.

   But now the market is still very chaotic, and the ticket structure is restricting the popularity of radios, so that farmers like Huang Hui and Mao Haichao have the money to buy two blankets but cannot buy radios.

  Mao Haichao wanted to buy a radio for a long time, so he knew the common brands on the market now.

   Now there are many brands of radios, among which the machines produced by the national and Shanghai factories are the most expensive, and the machines produced by the regional brands are cheaper.

  Kaige brand is a famous brand radio, and the cheapest model of a new machine costs fifty yuan.

  Wang Yi didn't know which model his radio was. He sold it for 40 yuan without a ticket. After Mao Haichao read it, he happily gave him the money, picked up the radio and ran away.

   Seeing this, Wang Yi knew that this model of radio should not be cheap, and he sold it cheaply.

   But now that everyone in the team has a radio, it is useless to keep this machine in my own hands, I can sell it for 40 yuan.

   The meat on the legs of mosquitoes is not meat?

   After the fourth class in the morning, the monitor of each class began to form the team. From the lower grades onwards, the students lined up to prepare for the meal.

  The aroma of rice is already floating on the top of the mountain!

  I ate pork ribs with rice at noon today. The pork ribs were stewed in soy sauce. After stewing all morning, the bones were stewed crispy!

   Such a bowl of rice per person, scoop a spoonful of soup on top and cover with four or five pieces of meat and bones, steaming hot and fragrant, what a good lunch!

  Xu Heng also prepared the bowls and chopsticks to eat. He stood at the door and said, "Lao Leo, Lao Leo, leave me a few ribs, I like to eat ribs."

   "You love to eat shit." Wang Yi scolded, "What can't you do, grab the first place."

   Xu Heng said stunned: "Why are you doing this, Principal? People are iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. I just want to eat. Why do you criticize me?"

  Wang Yi said: "I asked you and Teacher Sun to erect a shed here, why don't you listen to the command?"

   Xu Heng said immediately: "So that's what happened! How can we both not obey your command?"

"The two of us were going to set up a shed that night, but there was no suitable wood to use as a support rod. The secretary said that the moso bamboo would be bought by outsiders to make a dropper system in the summer, and he had to find another wood for us! "

   Wang Yi was stunned.

   That's what happened.

   So he said to Xu Heng: "Then you can't teach! You can't even teach the first grade in a commune!"

   Hearing this, Xu Heng bowed his head in shame on the spot.

   This is really a hard injury!

   But after Wang Yi left, he continued to say to the colander: "Lao Le, Lao Le, leave me a few ribs..."

  Wang Yi eats pork ribs with rice at noon.

   He got a bowl of rice and poured some soup, and sat in the sales office purring.

   Finished.

  Aunt Qing brought a bowl to buy fermented bean curd. She said, "Mr. Wang, rice with fermented fermented bean curd is also delicious. You can get some fermented bean curd and mix it in the soup, and it's ready to eat."

   said that she felt greedy herself.

   So she gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, weigh five catties of rice for me, and eat it at home tonight, fresh fermented bean curd and fresh rice. Tonight is New Year's Eve at home."

  Wang Yi laughed when she heard what she said was interesting, and said, "Auntie, I'll make more bean curd soup for you. You are willing to use the soup to soak the rice so that you can soak more."

  Aunt Qing was overjoyed when she heard the words: "Okay, Mr. Wang, you are generous, so I'll go to the island after I have dinner, and see if I can find you a few punches and snails."

  Wang Yi said: "The colander told you that I want to eat fistful snails?"

  Aunt Qing said, "Collapse spoon? No, it was said by the party secretary."

   Wang Yi guessed that the colander told Wang Xianghong about this, so he pushed the bowl and chopsticks to Wang Xinguo after eating: "I'll go to the secretary's house."

   He took a blanket for Qiu Weishui and strolled down the mountain to Wang Xianghong's house.

  Wang Xianghong was also eating, he and Xiufang continued to eat salted fish and cakes.

   Well, today is salted hairtail…

  Wang Xianghong nodded when he saw him coming in and said, "Mr. Wang, are you here? Well, I have something I want to tell you. The red-headed documents from the province let us learn from Comrade Yuan Longping, a national labor model."

  Wang Yi was refreshed when he heard this.

   I know this person well.

  22 years ago, I have seen it many times in books and news.

   Wang Xianghong coughed twice and continued: "Last month this year, when Comrade Yuan went to the International Rice Research Institute to attend the International Rice Symposium, he was awarded the title of the father of hybrid rice by experts from various countries."

"I went to the newspapers at the time to see that this was absolutely true. The director of the International Rice Research Institute told the leaders of various countries that he called Comrade Yuan the father of hybrid rice because his research gave proletarians all over the world. The class and the working people brought the gospel."

   "So now the state is taking the lead, and the provinces, cities and regions are leading by themselves to carry out a wide range of activities to learn from Comrade Yuan!"

   Wang Yi said: "This is a good thing, how do we learn?"

  Wang Xianghong took a sip of water and said thoughtfully, "You have to preside over this matter, because I still haven't figured out what this hybrid rice is?"

   "Crossbreeding, what a simple thing. The mating of a donkey and a horse to give birth to a cub is called a crossbreeding, and a mule can be born, right?" Xiufang expressed her opinion enthusiastically.

   "So I thought that this hybrid rice is that the country wants to mobilize our people to let rice hybridize with other crops and see what can be hybridized."

   "That's why Mr. Wang really presided over this matter. It must be high-tech and requires a high-level culture."

Wang Xianghong frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, Ms. Wang, is she right? Isn't she right? This learning activity is to learn from Comrade Yuan's scientific research spirit and dedication. research?"

  Wang Yi smiled and said: "Yes, the secretary is right, we can't do this research, you can't do it and I can't do it."

   "But sister-in-law Xiufang's understanding of hybrid rice is also partly correct. What is hybrid rice? It is not a hybrid between rice and other crops, but a hybrid between different rice varieties!"

   "For example, some rice grows strong and resistant to lodging but produces less rice, and some rice produces more rice but is not resistant to lodging."

   "If you cross them, you can get a good variety of rice that is resistant to lodging and produces more rice."

  Xiufang asked with concern: "What if you get a bad variety of rice that is neither resistant to lodging but also bears less rice?"

  Wang Xianghong patted the table and said, "Why don't you think about the country's order? And you have not started your work before thinking about failure. What is this called? It is called capitulationism!"

  Wang Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, secretary, my sister-in-law said that the possibility exists, so I said that if you can't do it, I can't do it. Why can expert Yuan do it?"

"Because he has a strong knowledge reserve and research ability, the meaning of his and his team's existence is how to make the hybrid rice obtain the dominant genes of the parent rice of the previous generation - in short, how to let the cub rice get the advantages of the parent and mother. Abandon the shortcomings of your parents!"

   Wang Xianghong nodded and said, "That's right. This is the ability of experts and intellectuals. I read in the newspaper that Expert Yuan was hired as a technical advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries this year."

  Wang Yi said enthusiastically: "Expert Yuan is very powerful. I have also seen his feats in books and newspapers."

   "He seems to be still researching a kind of rice that can be grown on saline-alkali land and sea beaches, so that our country can turn hundreds of millions of acres of barren beaches into fertile fields."

  Wang Xianghong and Xiufang looked at each other, and the two were dumbfounded: "Rice is grown on the beach? How is this possible!"

"That's right, in 1958 and 1959, there was a commune who was clamoring for this, and it took a lot of effort to reclaim the tidal flats, just as you said. The beach becomes a fertile field'."

   "What about the end result? All the rice transplants died, causing great waste and destruction of people's hearts!"

  Wang Yi said: "I ask you about that book, is it even more impossible to use an abacus and a pump to make the satellite fly into the sky?"

  Wang Xianghong wanted to refute, Wang Yi went on to say: "It's a nonsense if you don't talk about science. Under the guidance of scientific knowledge, you can complete the task in a planned way. This is called research and creation!"

   "Trust me, Yuan's team really has a way to do this!"

  Wang Xianghong was hesitant when he heard him say 'You believe me': "It's not that I don't believe you, and it's not that I don't believe in experts. It was something like this that really happened back then."

   "It was, was it the Loess Commune at the time? It's not like they didn't talk about science. They found some wild rice on the tidal flats that could grow in seawater, and they planted rice with this as their goal, but they still failed."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, let's not argue about this."
