Chapter 94 Gift (Medium Cup! More Updates) (Ch 812266881)

Before you know it.
Another four days passed.
Jiang Miao is still selecting genetically mutated tea seeds.
At the same time, some potential genetically mutated tea seeds were planted in the experimental greenhouse of Nanhu Farm.
As long as the seedlings are planted, secondary screening can be carried out and tissue culture seedlings can be started.
That’s right, the scale of tea oil seedlings can be quickly expanded through tissue culture technology. This technology was initially researched in 1986 and is now an extremely mature technology.
In the past few days, Jiang Miao has gradually selected 1,375 tea seeds with benign mutations from 600,000 genetically mutated tea seeds.
The numbering of the Oil King series has increased to 11.
The title of Oil King No. 1 with the highest oil yield per mu lasted only two days before it lost the title and was replaced by Oil King No. 7.
Under ideal conditions, the oil yield per mu of Oil King No. 7 can reach 230 kilograms. This variety is also characterized by high oil quality and fast growth. However, its cold resistance is a little poor, so it cannot be planted in areas north of the Yangtze River.
This yield has already caught up with the oil palm grown in Qiongzhou in China.
Although it is not as good as the Southeast Asian oil palm’s per-acre yield of 300 kilograms of crude oil.
However, there is not much competition between the two, because palm oil mainly targets the industrial oil market and is rarely sold directly as daily cooking oil. At most, it is mixed into blended oil.
Tea seed oil is a top-grade edible oil, and its main market direction is edible oil for daily cooking.
However, Jiang Miao knew that it would take at least two or three years for the Oil King series to really take off.
This is also the trouble with woody oil crops.
With more than a dozen good varieties already in hand, Jiang Miao has also temporarily suspended the screening of tea oil varieties. If his old classmate Li Hao really wants to grow tea oil, he can also come up with some new varieties to deal with it so as not to break his promise.
Turn your attention back to durian.
Inside the GMO laboratory in the experimental area.
Jiang Miao planted 300 tissue-cultured transgenic kapok seedlings cultivated some time ago in special nutrient pots, and also set aside a tissue culture room as an exclusive cultivation room for the transgenic kapok seedlings.
Because he has removed part of the gene fragment that restricts the growth of the genetically modified kapok, and enhanced the efficiency of the roots in absorbing nutrients and the photosynthesis efficiency of the leaves.
In just ten days, the seedling, which was only the size of a little finger before, has now grown to more than ten centimeters in height, growing at a rate of almost one centimeter a day.
Of course, this kind of growth is not without restrictions. Jiang Miao has made relevant genetic restrictions. As long as its growth time exceeds half a year, the genetically modified kapok will not continue to grow taller, but will grow horizontally instead, expanding the diameter of the stem and increasing the probability of side buds sprouting.
In other words, the genetically modified kapok tree will not be taller than 2 meters.
The purpose of this design is to ensure that the overall tree height does not exceed 3 meters after the second grafting, thus achieving the dwarfing of the durian tree.
Looking at the already large genetically modified kapok seedlings.
Jiang Miao did not wait for them to continue growing before he began to try grafting durian branches.
The reason why the common kapok was not grafted first is that these genetically modified kapok were designed based on the common kapok as the mother plant. In addition, Jiang Miao removed some gene fragments related to immune rejection. The probability of grafting rejection between the genetically modified kapok and the common kapok is only about one in ten thousand.
Therefore, he chose to test the grafting affinity of durian and genetically modified kapok first.
Thanks to the identification panel, as long as the grafting is completed, Jiang Miao will be able to see the grafting status of the two in about ten days, including which genes are in conflict. He can then make secondary adjustments to the gene sequence of the genetically modified kapok according to the situation.
Some fresh durian buds were selected and grafted onto the side branches of the genetically modified kapok.
He worked hard for most of the day and finally grafted 400 durian buds onto 100 genetically modified kapok seedlings.
Now just wait for the growth and healing in ten days.
He had just walked out of the laboratory after finishing this matter.
Then he saw Jiang Haibo with a happy face.
“Haibo, what’s the good news?”
Jiang Haibo looked around and whispered, “Boss, this morning’s news said that the domestic branch of Baishan Investment was closed down. I heard that it involved profit transfer and leak of secrets.”
“Oh? That’s really a good thing!” Jiang Miao smiled faintly.
Jiang Haibo felt the same way: “Yes! This kind of investment crocodile has complicated connections at home and abroad. If they really have any ideas about our company, it will definitely be a big trouble. Now that they are in trouble, they will definitely have no time to take care of other things in the short term. We can develop steadily for a while longer.”
After Jiang Miao washed his hands, he took a tissue and wiped them, then looked up at Jiang Haibo: “Yeah. By the way, Haibo, you should prepare to recruit a group of real estate-related talents in the near future, especially the management level.”
“Oh? The company is planning to start a real estate business?”
“It’s another company under my name, but you guys will be the agent for the recruitment first.”
“I understand.” Jiang Haibo knew that the company was going to build houses for its employees, so starting a real estate company was an inevitable choice.
The two came to the lunch box rack in the restaurant. Jiang Haibo picked up one at random, while Jiang Miao took the box with his name on it. Then they found another seat.
After sitting down, Jiang Miao opened the lunch box and said, “I will directly invest in the development of the real estate company. Please help me deal with the possible legal risks.”
“No problem. As long as it’s the boss’s after-tax income, and not a direct transfer from the company’s public account, there generally won’t be too much legal risk.” Jiang Haibo didn’t feel embarrassed by Jiang Miao’s instructions.
After all, what legal and financial departments worry about most is that the boss will evade taxes, and they have to clean up the mess themselves or even take the blame.
Jiang Miao had no intention of evading taxes. His job in legal and financial affairs was the easiest, and he did not have to worry about having to go to Tilanqiao for further studies one day.
Right at this moment.
Shuya walked out of the laboratory carrying a box.
Jiang Haibo quickly picked up the lunch box and said with a smile, “I won’t bother the boss and his wife.”
After saying that, he ran away to another table to eat.
Jiang Miao shook his head with a dumb smile.
Shuya took her lunch box and saw Jiang Haibo, who was sitting opposite Jiang Miao just now, running to the next table with a look of helplessness on his face:
“Vice President Jiang is too polite.”
“Haha, no, no, I’ve finished talking with President Jiang, so I won’t take up a seat.” Jiang Haibo waved his hand and buried his head in his meal.
Jiang Miao changed the subject: “What’s in the box?”
“A surprise.” Shuya raised her eyebrows and opened the lunch box: “Guess what.”
“I won’t guess. Otherwise, how can it be called a surprise?” Jiang Miao shook his head. In fact, he could roughly guess what was in the box without the identification panel.
“Okay then! Let’s open it together after dinner.”
“Then I’ll wait and see.”
The two did not change their eating pace in order to see what was in the box. They continued to eat slowly as usual and took more than twenty minutes to eat.
Jiang Haibo, who was worried about being a light bulb, finished his meal in less than ten minutes and disappeared in the restaurant.
After lunch.
Jiang Miao and Shu Ya came to the lounge on the third floor.
“The moment to witness a miracle has come…” Shuya opened the insulated box, and inside was a white truffle the size of a tennis ball.
Jiang Miao looked at the white truffle, then smiled and congratulated her on her achievement: “It seems that you have succeeded. Congratulations on taking the first step.”
“Thank you, A Miao!” Shuya rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged his waist: “Without your support, I may not be able to do all this in my life.”
Jiang Miao patted her back gently: “To congratulate you on your success, I also have a gift for you.”
“You have prepared a gift too?” Shuya asked while wiping her tears, full of confusion.
Jiang Miao took out a jewelry box from the safe on the third floor and handed it to Shuya: “Open it and take a look!”
“What is this? It’s so mysterious.” Shuya took it and opened the box.
A glass-type jade bracelet with a light sky blue color lies quietly on the velvet base of the box.
Shuya was a little surprised: “Is this a jade bracelet? It’s really beautiful…”
“I opened a piece of material some time ago and made six bracelets. I left one for you. Do you like it?”
“I like it!” Shuya put the bracelet on her hand. The size was just right: “Thank you, A Miao.”
Shuya played with the bracelet for a while, then turned her attention back to the white truffles in the incubator.
“A Miao, I think the large-scale breeding technology of white truffles has matured. According to my estimation, we only need to adjust the temperature, humidity, and light, and add specific material packages. Under the premise of ensuring the flavor of white truffles, the growth cycle of white truffles can be compressed to about three months.”
“This time is enough.” Although Jiang Miao had a plan that could further shorten the growth time to about two months, he did not say it out loud.
Shuya picked up the white truffle and said, “It will grow to the size of a tennis ball in about three months. I personally think this stage is the most cost-effective. If you continue to cultivate it, although it can continue to grow, the growth rate will definitely not be much faster.”
She has been doing related experiments for more than a month and found that after the first five weeks of cultivation, the white truffles can enter the mushroom bud stage. From this stage on, the growth rate of the white truffles is very fast, and it is also the time when the flavor substances accumulate the fastest. This stage will last about six weeks.
After rapid growth, the growth rate of white truffles will drop a lot, probably because a lot of specific nutrients in the material bag have been consumed. In the next three weeks, the growth rate shows a gradual downward trend.
The whole cycle takes 14 weeks, or about 98 days, for the truffle to turn into a tennis ball-sized white truffle.
If you want to make the white truffles grow bigger, there are only two ways.
One is to use a larger feed packet at the beginning to ensure that the total nutrients in the packet can allow the white truffles to grow larger.
Another way is to apply specially formulated nutrients again.
However, after Shuya’s research, she believes that both methods are not cost-effective.
The first method will cause the bags to become larger, which will increase the space occupied by a single bag and extend the growth cycle.
In this case, it is better to directly increase the number of bags.
The second method is contaminated by foreign bacteria and the growth cycle is greatly extended.
Instead of spending this free time, you might as well harvest and then start the next round of cultivation.
Jiang Miao cut a small piece, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
The first thing that hits your nose is a rich earthy smell, a strong aroma similar to moist soil.
Next comes the aroma of mushrooms and nuts, which is a bit complex and deep, followed by a hint of sweetness and spiciness, which mix together to form its unique flavor.
With such a subtle aroma, white truffles are not as direct as some other ingredients, but require careful savoring.
At the same time, the taste of white truffles is so unique that it is difficult to replicate with other ingredients.
He called up the data of wild white truffles previously included in the identification panel, compared it with the data of artificially cultivated white truffles, and found that there were actually slight differences between the two, but the differences were not big.
The biggest difference is that the earthy smell of wild white truffles is more pungent, while artificial white truffles are relatively softer and more suitable for Chinese eating habits.
Of course, artificial white truffles have another advantage, which is that their sweet flavor is about 36% higher than that of wild white truffles.
Jiang Miao put the mushrooms back into the incubator, then looked up at Shuya and said, “Aya, I will be conducting a grafting experiment on genetically modified kapok and durian in the near future. The mass production of white truffles will be handed over to you. You can discuss it directly with Lu Weibin. Just take a rest these few days. I will accompany you to relax after a while.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve been doing scientific research for more than half a year. It’s time to slow down.” Shuya stretched.
afternoon.
In front of the office building of Nanhu Farm.
Lin Shuya, Li Wenna and An Ning, who were walking over, saw the very busy packaging workshop.
A team of temporary workers consisting of more than a dozen middle-aged women in their forties and fifties skillfully picked, sorted, weighed, packed and sealed the boxes, and then handed them over to a few regular employees to affix labels and express delivery slips.
Currently, the farm’s 100 acres of strawberries have entered their peak fruit-bearing period, and about 2,000 kilograms of strawberries can be picked every day. This is excluding the production capacity of a portion of the strawberry greenhouses that need to take turns resting and applying fertilizers and pesticides every month.
2000 kg doesn’t seem like much.
But in fact, based on the one-kilogram package, which is the best-selling product in the online store, that’s 2,000 packages per day, or nearly 60,000 packages per month.
In order to ensure quality, there is no way to mechanize the picking and sorting of strawberries, and it all has to be done by manpower.
Middle-aged and elderly women in Nanhu Village and town are scrambling to get into Nanhu Farm as temporary workers.
After all, temporary workers on the farm are paid on a piece-rate basis, and picking 1 kilogram of strawberries is just 1 yuan. It is no problem to pick 200 kilograms a day. If it weren’t for Lv Weibin’s requirement for quality assurance, the women could have worked even faster.
Even the SF Express station in Magong Town has benefited from it. After all, one or two thousand express deliveries a day can quickly fill up a container.
“The boss lady is here!” An older lady greeted with a smile while wrapping tape.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Lin Shuya smiled and nodded, then asked the order taker beside her, “Xiao Wang, is Manager Lu here?”
The order taker pressed the pause button and thought for a while: “It seems the manager went to check the new greenhouse.”
“Thank you, you guys go ahead and get busy!” Lin Shuya took Li Wenna and An Ning to the greenhouse area.
The rice fields on both sides of the road are in the heading stage and are lush and green. At the end are rows of white solar greenhouses, but now it is summer and all the greenhouse films have been rolled up.
To the west of the sunlight greenhouse, located halfway up the hill, is a steel structure factory building covering more than 150 acres. This is a fully controlled intelligent greenhouse prepared for rare mushrooms such as white truffles. After more than three months of construction, it has been completed and can be put into use at any time.
Walked for a while.
She saw Lu Weibin and his assistant.
“Researcher Lin, the boss didn’t come with you?” Lu Weibin looked towards the greenhouse behind Lin Shuya, but did not see Jiang Miao.
Lin Shuya shook her head: “He is doing a research recently. I came here specifically to see Manager Lu.”
“Oh? What do you want, Researcher Lin?”
“That’s right. The large-scale artificial cultivation technology of white truffles has been studied and completed.”
Lu Weibin’s eyes widened: “It’s done?”
He couldn’t believe his ears, and exclaimed in his heart: “Oh my god! Is this what it means when birds of a feather flock together? The boss and his wife are both so awesome?”
At the same time, Lu Weibin also felt that his IQ had been deeply crushed several times. The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and pigs.
Lin Shuya didn’t have Jiang Miao’s ability to see through people’s hearts, so she naturally didn’t know the mixed feelings in Lu Weibin’s heart. She smiled and repeated, “Manager Lu, the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles has been completed, and now we can start preparing for production.”
Lv Weibin reacted and quickly replied: “These 150 acres of smart greenhouses are all ready for use. The supporting facilities such as the batching room and monitoring room that the boss had specially planned are also ready.”
“Then let’s start purchasing raw materials!”
“Researcher Lin, let’s go to the office to talk! It’s not convenient here.”
“Okay.” Lin Shuya nodded.
In fact, the lesson of the special eel feed being stolen was learned.
Jiang Miao has already made various preparations.
This includes mixing various raw materials with the raw materials needed by eel farms and purchasing them together, and deliberately adding more than a dozen ambiguous and useless raw materials to the purchase list.
At the same time, the process of manual mixing has been eliminated, and some very important raw materials with relatively small quantities are mixed using special fully automatic mixers.
For the secondary ingredient preparation that requires manual assistance, employees will not be told the specific amount. It will be divided into several processes as much as possible to reduce the situation where a single employee operates the equipment.
The reason for secondary batching is that the amount of seven raw materials used is relatively large, including pine needles, pine cones, pine sawdust, two specific types of soil, slaked lime, and a natural phosphate.
As long as the outside world is willing, they can definitely collect relevant information about these raw materials.
But Jiang Miao was well prepared.
For example, pine needles, pine cones, and pine sawdust may look ordinary, but they actually have profound secrets.
For example, the amount used when using Masson pine as raw material is different from that when using Chinese pine, Armand pine, and cedar as raw materials, and the proportions of pine cones, pine needles, and pine sawdust are also different.
These proportions require special attention to achieve the best effect of the ingredients.
In fact, those two special soils are distributed in most parts of southern China, but in order to cover them up, the company plans to use the construction materials of real estate companies as a cover, and purchase several more types of soil to further confuse the outside world and make it difficult to distinguish.
At the same time, the mixing room must be fully closed and managed, and personal belongings of employees who come into contact with the ingredients are strictly prohibited from entering or exiting. Even when inoculating bacteria, full body protective clothing, gloves and helmets must be worn.
After all, if workers don’t wear gloves, there is a possibility that some soil may be caught in the gaps between their fingernails.
Anyway, both the inoculation room and the mixing room need to maintain a sterile environment, so it is better to be direct and have employees wear full-body protective clothing, breathing helmets, plastic gloves, and plastic waterproof boots. This not only ensures the health of the employees, but also enhances confidentiality.
