Chapter 349: Whole Rice Feast?
Ye Zhou originally thought that the so-called full-rice feast was a gimmick, but he didn't expect that all the whole rice was really related to rice.
The staple food is rice and rice noodles, so it goes without saying that the various snacks made from rice were not unexpected, but the patterns of the main dish really gave him a lot of surprises.
Flower fish, rice-flavored chicken, beef crumbs, rice-flavored shrimp, rice-flavored loach, lotus root, bullfrog, rice-flavored turtle...
All the breeding and planting products that symbiotically with rice were brought to the dining table, which opened the eyes of Chen Hao and Ye Zhou, who were originally purely here to relax. Ye Zhou, who was tired of eating the recipes prepared by the health care workers arranged above, was even more feasted on them, and even the guard Wu Ping, who followed him, was at a disadvantage.
According to Ye Zhou's request, there was no other leader in the meal except Xu Lei and a few young colleagues. They did not know the true identities of Ye Zhou and Chen Hao, so everyone was not very restrained. They ate until the cup and plate were in a mess, and then everyone fell on the chair to rest while touching their stomachs.
After a moment of breathing, Xu Lei sighed first:
"It's so good to eat in this kind of dinner... you don't need to drink or flatter you, and there are still people who will be reimbursed for the meal. Ye Gong, please come a few more times in the future, it's best to come once a month to improve our food."
Ye Zhou looked at her with some amusement. After returning from the experimental field, she still dressed up with a plain face, but after changing into refreshing clothes, she looked like there was a youthful atmosphere that suited her age.
"You are still worried about not having food or drink when you are guarding so many industries? You have raised these things yourself, right? Unfortunately, there are no snails---I remember that the two years before the sympanium of rice and snails were also a very popular topic, right?"
Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Xu Lei instantly returned to her professional working state, nodded slightly and replied:
"Rice snail symbiosis is indeed a good topic, but the requirements for water quality of snails are too high. Slight acid-base changes will lead to large-scale deaths. This requires the number of times of rice spraying and fertilization to be strictly controlled, but this is basically impossible."
"I heard that before I came, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had built one or two acres of rice and snail symbiotic fields, but the effect was too poor and it could not be promoted. The project was cancelled in less than two years."
"The field is still there now, but it is not snails, but ducks. It's almost ready to eat it during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ye Gong, do you want to come?"
Looking at Xu Lei's cunning smile, Ye Zhou nodded with understanding and replied:
"See if there is time at that time. But to be honest, are you so miserable in normal times? Why do you feel like you can't eat enough?"
Xu Lei laughed and replied:
"That's not as exaggerated as not having enough food. The main reason is that who would refuse to eat a good meal... You see, this meal is not something that can be made in our cafeteria. They are chefs specially invited to the restaurant."
"Our leader still wants to come, but I heard you have rejected it?"
Xu Lei looked at Ye Zhou curiously. Today's meal was indeed the most special meal she had ever had since she worked, so she had no choice but to explore the reasons behind it.
According to the reception specifications of your own unit, generally speaking, the visits of colleagues from the same-level units will be solved in the small restaurant of the canteen. The chefs are the canteen masters, and the staff responsible for arranging receptions are not fixed. They are basically a group of newcomers.
Senior leaders of the same-level unit are also receiving in small restaurants, but the dishes are relatively high in specifications and are also receiving special office staff.
When you arrive at the superior leaders of the superior unit, you will have to go to a special restaurant. The dishes are subject to fixed meal standards and the single budget is strictly controlled.
She only attended the dinner arranged on the farm like today, and was the only elected backbone employee last year. That time, many of the leaders she met frequently appeared on TV.
But today's meal is different from any previous meal.
The biggest boss personally arranged the menu, and the office director personally went to the best hotel in the county to hire a chef. The ingredients of the dishes were all just caught from his own experimental fields, and even the seasonings were bought and unpacked again.
Under such specifications, the only ones I earned in the end were just my own small characters.
This contrast made her wonder if she was a mysterious second generation here this time, but looking at the young and easy-going face opposite, she really couldn't match him with the second generation in her impression.
However, this face is a little familiar.
Ye Zhou on the other side didn't think so much. After all, he was just a free meal. A series of things were arranged by Chen Hao and Chen Hao's office staff, so when he heard Xu Lei's question, he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:
"Probably... I refused. Anyway, we are here to see the new rice seedlings this time, and it's not an inspection, so there is no need to do it...well, there's no need to do it too seriously."
Ye Zhou originally wanted to say "there is no need to mobilize the masses too much", but then he thought about it and found that this was actually a very naive statement.
With his current identity, no matter where he goes or what he wants to do, it is impossible not to mobilize all his troops, because his importance lies here, and his safety must be strictly guaranteed at any time.
This is actually one of the reasons why he is reluctant to go out. He has not really adapted to this "special" treatment.
"Hehe, I think this is good, it would be great. If only there are more leaders like you... Master Ye, what are you responsible for? Can you say this?"
Xu Lei asked this question a bit recklessly, and Ye Zhou certainly would not answer, but just smiled and said:
"This involves confidentiality, so I won't tell you. However, it must have something to do with our rice research, otherwise we wouldn't have come."
"That's it...hehe, actually I didn't really want to know, I understand the confidentiality rules!"
Xu Lei did not continue to ask questions, but skipped the topic calmly.
Several people returned to the topic of eating and drinking for a while, and Ye Zhou saw that they were all tired, so he proposed to end the show.
The accommodation was arranged long ago, and it was still led by Xu Lei. Ye Zhou and his group found their own rooms. Just as Xu Lei introduced them to how to use various facilities, the watch on her hand suddenly vibrated.
Xu Lei raised her arm and looked at the display of the wrist watch, and then said a little apologetically:
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Chen, I won't introduce you more. Anyway, these things are no different from ordinary hotels and guesthouses. I have to go to the field to deal with it. I'm sorry."
"An urgent matter? What can happen so late?"
Ye Zhou looked at the other party in confusion and asked.
"The monitoring system prompts that the water level of a field is lower than the cordon. It is estimated that the upstream canal is blocked. I have to clear it up----it doesn't matter, you can just rest, it's not a problem."
"This is not a problem of whether it's troublesome or not. You are a girl who is still going to the field so late. Is it safe? Why don't you let your leader change someone?"
When Xu Lei heard Ye Zhou's words, he laughed.
"Ye Gong, the countryside is different from the previous countryside. Our experimental fields are connected to intelligent systems, and with the Skynet system and safe rural system, there is no need to worry at all..."
Ye Zhou nodded suddenly, and after a moment of pause, he spoke:
"That's it...why should we go with you? I'm just over and I'm full, so I'll go for a walk and digest it."
"Then let's come together, just let you take a look at our field management system."
Xu Lei nodded without any pretentiousness and continued:
Chapter completed!
