Chapter 104: Food (Part II)

"Please use it slowly, Master Jean, I'll call the section chief up."

"Larry, how do you know I'm going to be here at this point?"

Larry said with a smile baring his white teeth.

"According to your speed and daily habits, I have known you for almost 50 years, after all."

Jean sat down eagerly, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat, noodles made from fresh wheat flour this morning, chewy, fragrant with wheat, and thick bone soup.

Soon a bowl of noodles went down, Jean was comfortable on the chair, tilting his head, the sun penetrated through the cracks in the vines and plants, and the light and shadow were dappled on his face, a little warm, and a slight coolness, just right.

"How's it going?"

An old voice rang out, and Jean turned around.

"One out of five succeeded."

The old man behind him had age spots, wrinkled skin, a thin body, a height of 1.7 meters, wearing a white shirt, rolled up his sleeves, his hands and face were stained with mud foam, and the smell of earth filled the air.

The old man's eyes are gentle, although he is thin, but he looks in good spirits, he is the chief of the 12th agricultural department, Ye Chunwang, with a gentle temper and personality, has served as the section chief of the agricultural department for more than half a century.

Although it has a certain degree of impact on the human body, but now with the maturity of technology, the impact is getting smaller and smaller, because of Ye Chunwang's contribution, half of the people in Bright City have meat to eat 50 years ago.

"What do you mean by a fifth, what exactly are you doing this year?"

Ye Chunwang sighed a little helplessly, sat down, and pressed Jean's shoulder.

"Jean, the soil you brought back from the barrier area more than a year ago, there have been at least 13 places where the soil has been revived under my technology, although the crops and plants cultivated are a little malnourished, but as long as you go to the field and slowly improve, there is a way, the key is the rationing of funds, materials and talents, these things are not available, what can you do with our agricultural department?"

Jean pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and shook his head helplessly.

The 12th Agricultural Section is the most special of the 13 Sections, because they cannot have an affair with any businessman, they cannot participate in any discussion of rights, they are only responsible for farming, but they are not interfered with by anyone or anything, and if anyone interferes, it is a felony, or it is a felony for the Agricultural Section to have an affair with some outside businessman.

After all the grain output is sorted, there are clear and detailed records, and then handed over to the hands of the commercial section of the trading station, the pricing of various foods and the daily shipments are controlled by the commercial section, so the last end of the season did so much, the second section has information to check, from the initial problem, a little bit back to check, after finding the accurate and detailed grain figures of the 12th agricultural section, you can find things, but there must also be specific materials that have problems in which link, otherwise it will be such a huge number of numbers, Even if the people in Section 2 work tirelessly, it will take at least a month to do it, which is why Section 2 has results in three days after receiving evidence.

"What are you laughing at Jean, aren't you in a hurry? The events of the past few days have not subsided, and now the city's food storage capacity is enough to feed the whole city for 10 years at most, after all, the population has increased so many times, and most of the poor people will be hungry at that time. ”

"Got it, I'm planning."

Ye Chunwang pointed to the east.

"Only the recovery of the barrier area is the future of mankind, I told you more than 10 years ago, if it doesn't work, you can climb back, you have to let the plan pass, the relevant plan report was done as early as half a year ago, and the technology was immature before."

Jean looked at the prison tower to the south, like a chimney in the distance.

Jean's eyes trembled slightly, he got up and sat down in front of the shelf, leaning down comfortably, and it was very comfortable to be cold and cold under him, because the uniforms of the 12 section members were specially processed, and the heat dissipation performance was extremely strong, although it was black, it would not absorb heat too much, and there was a certain fire prevention function, and Jean's pants were already hot.

"I'm not going."

Ye Chunwang squatted in front of Jean.

"Don't play a child's temper with me at this time, Jean, you crawl back on my knees, get the seal of the Six Gods King, and let the plan pass."

"By the way, let's not talk about this for now, take me to see your super gene fruit tree."

Ye Chunwang walked up a little helplessly, Jean followed behind him, outside a test field in the corner of the research institute, Jean smelled the aroma of several fruits from afar, and Jean was shocked in an instant, the aroma of real fruits in these distant memories is not comparable to taste agent and fruit flavor agent, those things with a pungent metallic smell are just fake tastes.

After turning around some experimental potted plants, Jean looked at the fruit tree in front of him in amazement, which he couldn't say.

A fruit tree with a diameter of about 20 centimeters thick, hanging oranges, bananas, apples, peaches, pears, grapes six kinds of fruits, the outer skin of the tree is heterochromatic, there are many kinds of colors that make people have no appetite when they look at it, and look at the fruits on the tree, even if the species is the same, they are also large and small, especially bananas, some large ones are about ten centimeters, and the small ones are only as big as toothpicks.

"Is this the product of some kind of radiation contamination?"

Jean said jokingly, and Ye Chunwang next to him squinted at it with some dissatisfaction.

"It's good to have something to eat, I used the fruit genes in the gene bank and successfully grafted it onto a tree, and the variety of the tree has also been improved, but the good and the bad are uneven, and it still needs a period of improvement and testing, and now it is basically harmless."

Jean showed a look of disappointment, and Ye Chunwang slapped Jean on the back of the head, and he almost bit his tongue.

"Bastard, think about it, if this fruit tree is pushed out for a long time, many people will really be able to eat the fruit."

Jean walked over, plucked a bright red peach, and wiped it on his clothes.

Click

Jean chewed it, tilted his head, and smiled softly.

"The taste is not bad, a little sour."

Ye Chunwang laughed.

"When I was a child, I used to hear you talk about the taste of fruit, how about I'm amazing, Jean."

Jean smiled, walked over slowly, and patted Ye Chunwang on the shoulder.

"It's amazing."

Ye Chunwang's old cheeks showed a childlike smile.
