Chapter 83
Wan Ping'an didn't participate in harvesting the rice; he brought Da Hei and was responsible for supervision.
For this kind of purely physical work, without any technical content, he didn't want to do it anymore. If he was going to do something, he would do something with technical content.
Ah!
Not far behind Wan Ping'an, a shrill scream came.
What happened?
Wan Ping'an was shocked, did someone cut their leg?
The sickle was sharp. If you accidentally cut your leg, at best you'd be bleeding, at worst, you could cut the leg tendon and become a cripple!
"Old Seven, I thought you cut your leg, you're not hurt, why are you screaming?"
Wan Ping'an had just walked over when he heard Cai Quanwu scolding.
No one was hurt.
Wan Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cai Ge, this, this, why is this rice golden?"
"I thought it was gold!"
Old Seven's voice was trembling with fear.
He was holding a few golden rice grains in his hand, which had fallen off because some rice ears were too dry during the harvest.
The others stared at the rice grains in Old Seven's hand, all of them with their mouths open, unable to speak.
Even knowing it was rice, they couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
It looked too much like gold!
There was no difference in appearance!
Wan Ping'an laughed; he was also surprised at first.
The system provided rice seeds, a very high-yield, high-quality rice. During the growth period, there was no big difference in appearance from ordinary rice.
The difference was after maturity.
After full maturity, the rice grains would turn golden. At first glance, it was easy to mistake them for gold.
You could distinguish them when you held them in your hand.
Gold was very heavy.
Heavy, pressing on the hand!
Golden rice was different.
The appearance was the same as gold, but the weight was different. Placed in the palm, it was light, making it easy to distinguish.
Harvested a piece of land.
Everyone took a temporary break, drank some water!
Han Dahe didn't rest.
He collected the harvested rice and recalculated the yield per acre.
Last time the yield per acre was calculated, it was no less than 1,600 catties.
That was without harvesting, so the error was relatively large.
After harvesting, it could be calculated more accurately.
Of course.
The most accurate measurement method was after threshing and drying, which was the most accurate, but there were no conditions for that now.
"1,800 catties!"
Han Dahe's voice was trembling.
This was a crazy yield per acre!
"Ping'an, am I dreaming?"
27 Han Dahe finished speaking and slapped himself.
Slap!
He hit very hard.
The sound was very crisp.
"Haha, I'm not dreaming, there really is such high-yield golden rice in the world!"
"If all the land in the country were planted with this high-yield golden rice, I'm afraid no one would go hungry, and no one would starve to death!"
His face was red.
A clear five-finger print appeared.
Han Dahe laughed. If Wan Ping'an didn't know he was stimulated by the super-high-yield golden rice, he would have thought he was mentally ill!
[Ding!]
[Detected a bumper harvest of golden rice!]
[System reward is being calculated...]
Wan Ping'an's eyes lit up.
The system reward was here again.
The farming system had always been very generous, and the rewards were very rich.
[Reward calculation complete!]
[Prize distribution!]
[Prize: Special reward, Golden Gun Never Falls!]
"Farming system, are you really a serious system?"
Wan Ping'an was overjoyed.
Who doesn't like to be stronger?
Under the big stick, who dares not to submit?
The system was truly too thoughtful!
[Prize: Cash 100 yuan, 1 ton each of 10 random fruits, 1 ton each of 10 random vegetables, 1 ton each of 10 random meats, 100 meters of cloth coupons, cotton coupons...]
The system rewards were shockingly rich.
What Wan Ping'an was most satisfied with was the "Golden Gun Never Falls" reward!
He was receiving the reward.
Old Man Han Dahe's expression was very conflicted. He opened his mouth twice, didn't say a word, and closed it again.
"Old Man Han, do you have something to say?"
Wan Ping'an asked with a smile.
"Sigh, you saw it."
"Do you know how significant high-yield rice is?"
"It can let many people eat their fill, no longer go hungry, no longer starve to death. You haven't seen people starve to death, it's really too miserable!"
Han Dahe said, falling into memories, unable to help but shed tears.
He had experienced the old society and seen too much suffering.
Too many people starved to death in the evil old society!
"Old Man Han, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush!"
Wan Ping'an vaguely guessed Han Dahe's thoughts.
"Ping'an, the golden rice you cultivated is beneficial to the country and the people, and its significance is very significant. I suggest you report it to the upper level immediately."
"Otherwise, your safety might be hard to guarantee."
"You should know that just entering the new society, there are still many remaining destructive elements."
"Once your golden rice is known by them, they will definitely be unfavorable to you, either capture you or kill you, they won't keep you."
"Cooperating with the upper level is your best choice!"
Han Dahe was very worried about Wan Ping'an's safety.
Planting tomatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, these aren't staples, it doesn't matter if you eat them or not.
Even if the impact is great, the attention attracted is very limited.
Rice is different. This is a staple!
It can feed many people!
From ancient times to the present, the food problem has been a big problem, and it is the most important!
"No problem!"
Wan Ping'an hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement.
The most important thing wasn't the safety issue, but how to expand the planting scale?
He only had six acres of land, how much agricultural produce could he grow?
Too limited!
Cooperating with the upper level was the only way to get a large amount of land and quickly expand the planting scale.
With a larger planting scale, the system rewards would be more.
Han Dahe thought there was no time to lose. He happened to know some people, so he immediately got up and left the six-acre field to contact his old comrades.
By noon.
A small half of the golden rice had been harvested.
"Boss, can I ask you for something?"
During the break.
Old Seven came to Wan Ping'an's side, his expression a bit uneasy.
Wan Ping'an could see that Old Seven was an honest man, and he worked very hard!
"What is it?"
Wan Ping'an asked with a smile.
"I've never seen golden rice before, the quality is too good, it must be tribute from the imperial palace in the past!"
"I want to ask you to exchange my wages for rice, I want to take some back for my wife and children to taste."
Old Seven looked at Wan Ping'an uneasily.
The others who came to harvest the rice with him were also looking at Wan Ping'an.
If Wan Ping'an agreed to Old Seven's request, they could also muster the courage to try and take some back for their families to taste.
"I thought it was something big?"
"Isn't it just a little rice?"
"You all work hard, when the rice is harvested, I'll give each of you a catty, no need to exchange, just take it as a reward for you."
Wan Ping'an laughed.
Old Seven was truly simply cute.
"Really?"
Old Seven was very surprised.
He didn't expect Wan Ping'an to be so easy to talk to.
He was born in the old society and grew up in the old society. Those bosses and capitalists in the old society weren't so easy to talk to.
"Of course it's true!"
"You all are the same, work hard, when the harvest is finished, I'll give each of you a catty!"
Wan Ping'an nodded.
Great!
Old Seven and the others cheered.
Cai Quanwu looked at Wan Ping'an with gratitude.
The people he found were all porters he had worked with before, and their relationship was good. He also hoped to seek some benefits for these people.
The premise was that Wan Ping'an allowed it!
The break was over.
Started harvesting rice again.
Old Seven and the others worked even harder. For the catty of golden rice Wan Ping'an promised, they would also do their best to make Wan Ping'an satisfied!
Woof!
Da Hei was lying beside Wan Ping'an.
Suddenly it stood up and barked at Wan Ping'an's back.
Wan Ping'an wasn't anxious at all.
He could hear that Da Hei's barking wasn't a warning of danger, but a greeting.
The one coming must be an acquaintance.
No danger!
"Annoying, Da Hei, you ruined my good deed again."
Chen Xueru complained with dissatisfaction.
She and Xu Huirong came together, intending to sneak over and scare Wan Ping'an.
But forgot about Da Hei!
Da Hei was very loyal to Wan Ping'an. As long as it was there, no one, including acquaintances, could sneak up to Wan Ping'an.
"Da Hei, well done, I'll reward you with a chicken leg later!"
Wan Ping'an laughed.
He touched Da Hei's head.
Da Hei seemed to understand, jumping around Wan Ping'an, its tail wagging like a windmill.
"Annoying, you're as annoying as Da Hei."
Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Wan Ping'an.
"Do you want some gold?"
Wan Ping'an laughed.
He opened his palm, a small pinch of golden rice grains shining in the sun.
"Giving gold?"
"How vulgar!"
Chen Xueru curled her lips.
"Vulgar?"
"Fine, then I won't give it to you."
Wan Ping'an was about to take it back.
"Wait, why are you so stingy?"
"How can you take back something you're giving to someone? Can't I have it?"
Chen Xueru glared at Wan Ping'an with a reproachful look.
She reached out.
Grabbed the golden rice grains from Wan Ping'an's hand.
Wan Ping'an was slightly stunned; Chen Xueru's small hand was too soft!
"Huh?"
"Wait, this isn't gold, it's too light, and it's not fool's gold, what is this?"
"Why is it shaped like rice grains?"
Holding it in her hand.
Chen Xueru noticed something wrong.
"Let me see?"
Xu Huirong leaned over and picked up a few rice grains.
"It really looks like rice grains, no, this is rice!"
Xu Huirong put a rice grain into her mouth.
Crunch!
Accompanied by a slight cracking sound, she bit a rice grain into pieces.
"That's right, this is rice."
"Even the royal tribute rice of the past couldn't compare to this golden rice."
"Ping'an, you really gave me another big surprise. Is this the rice you grew?"
"I remember when I came last time, the rice was white, how did it turn golden?"
Xu Huirong was very surprised.
