Chapter 118: , test station
Linshui Pearl Cultivation Test Station.
"Do you really want to open a pearl cultivation factory?" Yao Changtai looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him doubtfully.
The woman nodded and said, "I want to cultivate pearls."
Yao Changtai is a researcher in the core technology of large pearl culture in the South China Sea, responsible for the breeding of pearl oysters. They are now at the most critical stage of technical research, but there are not many examples of actual success.
"The technology of the experimental station is not mature yet, and the cultivation of pearl oysters is not easy. There are not many pearl oysters cultivated in our station... This technology is not yet mature and is not suitable for promotion and application." If their test station can successfully tackle the large-scale pearl culturing and inserting technology and cultivate large-scale pearls, this technology will definitely be promoted in China, it is only a matter of time.
However, the technology of their experimental station is not mature now. Whether it can be successfully promoted in large quantities is still unknown, and it will depend on continuous experimental research in the next few years.
“We cooperate in breeding, the technicians of the experimental station give us technical guidance, and we can also provide data and data to the experimental station during the breeding process. This will be a win-win cooperation.”
Yao Changtai smiled: "Of course, if you want to cultivate pearls, the people in our experimental station are naturally very happy, but we do scientific research and get national wages, and the failure of the experiment is not for us personally. Any losses, but if you want to open a pearl cultivation factory, these are your personal actions, if the pearls are not raised successfully in the end, you will lose everything."
"These countries can't tell you."
"The pearl cultivation technology in front of us is not yet mature, and we can't guarantee you that we can cultivate good pearls..."
Nowadays, everything is unknown in pearl cultivation. No one can say whether good pearls can be cultivated and how they will be sold.
, instead of spending a lot of time and effort to raise some inedible pearls, it is better to fish for shrimps.
Qin Rou nodded: "I understand all of these situations, I am a student of the Department of Business Management of Lingnan University, I said that I want to open a pearl cultivation factory is not a decision made indiscriminately, but After doing a detailed understanding, I read a lot of materials in the school, the biological experiment station of Lingnan University..."
Qin Rou naturally came prepared. After she decided to open a pearl cultivation factory earlier, she has been preparing for it. To catch up with such a good time, she must be the first to eat it. The first big cake.
For the current researchers, they still feel that the technology is immature, but Qin Rou has visited the Pearl Museum of Later Times, learned about the history of pearl cultivation, and actually visited the pearl cultivation factory. Cultured pearls, she has mastered mature cultivation techniques.
She has to hurry up and set up the first factory. After 1985, pearl cultivation factories here will bloom everywhere, hundreds of large and small, and various small workshops are prevalent. It is difficult to make a name for herself. She has to make a name for her pearl brand from the beginning.
"As long as you figure out all the stakes, the people in our test station are willing to cooperate with you, and we will cooperate with you in terms of technical guidance..." Yao Changtai brought two researchers with Qin Rou It was discussed to cooperate in the development of pearl culture.
.
If their country wants to become a pearl farming country, they need more people to participate in supporting pearl farming.
This young woman named Qin Rou is a good partner. The test station attaches great importance to her cooperation. If it is placed on others, the test station may not choose to cooperate .
Because Qin Rou is a student of Lingnan University's Department of Business Management, she is a highly educated person, and she is still studying business management. Compared with ordinary people, she is capable and has more contacts in the school. Carry out scientific pearl culture management.
These technicians are only responsible for technical research, but if the technology is promoted in the future, talents like Qin Rou are still needed. She is more professional than ordinary farmers.
How about giving it a go?
"I will take you to visit the breeding center of our experimental station carefully."
Qin Rou stayed at the test station for half a month to learn more about the breeding technology of white butterfly shells. At the same time, she put forward several constructive suggestions based on the breeding mode of later generations, which surprised Yao Changtai and others .
Yao Changtai praised her: "You really want to learn how to cultivate pearls. By cooperating with people like you, people in our test station can also put down their high-hanging hearts."
Their technology has been successful, but it is not mature enough, and various experiments are needed to check the gaps and screen out the most perfect breeding program.
"Thank you, I am also infected by the serious study of your researchers." After this period of study, Qin Rou's pearl cultivation plan in her mind is more complete, she has already thought of all kinds of ideas. Questions were asked in detail to professional researchers.
Now let’s look at the actual breeding process.
The researchers here are more focused on cultivating large pearls, that is, super giant "pearl kings" with a body size of more than 15 mm or more, and Qin Rou opened a pearl factory with the goal of cultivating ordinary pearls Type seawater pearls require a large number of high-quality round micro-blemish pearls of about 6 to 12 mm.
Pearl, the rounder the shape, the bigger the size, the fewer the growth lines of flaws, the more valuable such pearls are.
The price of pearls under 12 mm is relatively close to the people, and the price is more and more expensive. As for super giant pearls, they are used for museum auctions and exhibitions.
It's very elegant to wear.
Wearing a cheongsam and a pearl necklace, that temperament and charm is absolutely amazing.
"These two pearls are cultivated by our test station, and they are for you."
Before Qin Rou left the pearl test station, Yao Changtai, on behalf of the staff of the test station, gave her two seawater pearls, two carefully selected seawater pearls, about eight millimeters in diameter, perfectly round, The sheen is strong.
"They are chatting in private, saying that a beautiful woman like you looks good in pearls." Yao Changtai joked.
After Qin Rou came to their test station, this young and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many young people in the test station. It is difficult not to be liked by such a beautiful and beautiful girl.
It's a pity that they are married and have children, and the boy at the test station is heartbroken.
"Our test station are all male compatriots, who revolve around mother-of-pearl every day. These pearls look good, but our male compatriots don't look good when they wear them, haha..." Pearls are a rare thing for many people in this era. Most people have come out of famine, and more of the pursuit is to eat their stomachs. They must eat their stomachs before they can think about other clothes and jewelry.
It is true that when good fabrics are not produced in large quantities in China, there are many places where you can't even cover your body. In some places, three brothers in a family only have one pair of trousers, and whoever goes out wears trousers. Others are naked at home.
Qin Rou put away the two pearls and smiled brightly at several researchers at the test station: "Now women in our country wear beautiful red dresses on the street, I believe they will in the future You can also wear beautiful pearl jewelry."
Qin Rou's smile made the two young male researchers behind Yao Changtai blushed.
The gleaming in the middle makes it impossible to look directly into her eyes. This woman is even more beautiful than the stars on Hong Kong Island.
—It's a pity she's married.
marry home.
Qin Rou left the test station, Yao Changtai and Cui Mingzhan were still talking about her.
Yao Changtai patted on Cui Mingzhan's shoulder and patted the person back to his senses, "Don't look, look straight, Comrade Qin is gone."
Cui Mingzhan said: "In the future, I will come to the technical guidance of her breeding plant."
"You volunteered? What do you want to do? They are already married, and they are military wives. Don't think about it."
Cui Mingzhan sighed: "Everyone has a love for beauty. I can't help but look at such a beautiful girl."
"Didn't you hear what Ren Xiaoqin said? Is she the mother of four children?"
"You want to be someone's step-dad, but they haven't given you a chance."
Cui Mingzhan: "…"
Which man was smoking on his ancestral grave and married such a beautiful and beautiful woman who gave birth to four children for him, the more he thought about it, the more jealous he became!
How can there be such a lucky man in this world?
"I don't want to be a step dad, I know what to do."
Yao Changtai said to the people behind him: "Cui Mingzhan, you and Lin Guisheng are responsible for contacting the people from Qinrou's breeding factory and do a good job of guiding and recording."
Cui Mingzhan and Lin Guisheng nodded in agreement.
Cui Mingzhan, who successfully got this task, is very happy. He is not to see Qin Rou more, but also to witness the promotion of pearl cultivation. He wants to see the scene of large-scale pearl production.
Maybe you will see more beautiful women wearing pearls on the street in the future.
Cui Mingzhan and Lin Guisheng went to eat in the cafeteria together. The two sat together and chatted while eating.
Cui Mingzhan is laughing and laughing. He is not very serious on weekdays. Lin Guisheng is relatively silent. After finishing his research work every day, he returns to the dormitory and flips through the books.
Lin Guisheng is not interested in pearl cultivation, let alone staying in this dilapidated island, he has been trying to find a way to leave.
This island is too bitter, and the place across the strait has begun to undergo earth-shaking changes. He wants to go to Guangcheng and stay in a wider field.
"Pearls are so beautiful, pearls match beautiful women, we men can't wear them." Cui Mingzhan laughed and laughed, "But I really like opening pearl oysters, just like the kind of pearls that are found when they are opened. Surprise, Comrade Qin is right, every pearl is unique, she likes pearls, and I like pearls too."
"The pearl shells in our test station are so precious, we can't open them casually, we have to take x-rays to know that there are pearls in them, and then we can open them carefully... I think every time I open a pearl is a magical time experience."
Cui Mingzhan said it eagerly, but Lin Guisheng faced it indifferently. After hearing Cui Mingzhan say a lot, Lin Guisheng asked him: "Do you really think that the pearl cultivation factory of the woman surnamed Qin can be opened?"
"Why not?"
"I don't think so, if it is a man, there is still the pitiful nature of success, but what can she do as a woman?" Lin Guisheng shook his head, he knew that Qin Rou was a beautiful woman, but a woman The beauty of pearls is for men to see, and such beautiful things as pearls should also be given to women by men.
Lin Guisheng thinks that women should take care of children at home, and only women who are restless run around.
A woman like Qin Rou, even if she is a college student, what is the ability? After learning business management, you should honestly go to a state-owned factory to stay, find a good man to marry, and have a husband and a child.
Cui Mingzhan said: "Don't underestimate a woman's ability."
"Haha." Lin Guisheng laughed a few times, "Look at this woman, the breeding plant must not last for half a year, what kind of pearls? The ghosts of pearls can't be raised."
"Don't make a conclusion so early." Cui Mingzhan saw that Qin Rou's plan was detailed and considered every aspect, and even noticed more details than their scientific researchers. The pearl cultivation factory has great potential, and Cui Mingzhan is very optimistic about this cultivation factory.
Lin Guisheng said: "Or let's make a bet, I'll bet that her breeding plant won't open for a year, and we go to guide, it's just a waste of water."
"I bet you, whoever loses will be invited to a restaurant for dinner, the kind that requires several meat dishes!"
"Good."
The two high-five and bet, "You have to remember!"
"Remember, let Lao Yao testify."
…
Cui Mingzhan patted his thigh, "I really want to see what Comrade Qin's husband looks like in order to marry such a beauty!"
"Amy, what do you want to open...a pearl cultivation factory?"
Qin Rou arrived at her sister-in-law's house in Dajiao Village. She told her sister Qin Mian about opening a pearl cultivation factory. After Qin Mian heard it, she was confused and shocked.
"What can a pearl do?"
“It looks delicious, who wants it? I can’t eat it…”
"You go to the beach to pick up a few beautiful shells and string them together. This pearl has to be raised for so long, it's a waste of time, who wants to raise it? Use it as a button for clothes? "Qin Mian is a girl who came out of the valley. She has never seen any pearls before. In the landowner's wife, what she wears is gold, silver and jade, such as gold bracelets, gold beans, and pearls.
In the past so many years, everyone wore simple clothes, women did not wear makeup on their faces, and no jewelry was worn on their necks and wrists. Except for literary and artistic actors, wearing these things of landowners and wives would be criticized of.
"Pearls can be made into earrings and worn on the ears, as well as necklaces, bracelets, rings... They can also be ground into pearl powder, which makes pearls more useful."
Qin Mian shook her head: "Are pearls so good? Is it good to have gold? People don't dare to wear gold if they have it at home."
"Some people dare to wear them now, and now economic policies have changed, many people have money on their hands, and women in the city are working **** dressing up."
"Then you raised these pearls, and people wear gold and silver, why should they buy your pearls?"
Qin Mian shook her head: "I heard A Shi say that pearls will turn yellow after a long time, and no matter how beautiful and beautiful pearls are, they will lose their luster, Amei, do you know a word called The old pearl is yellow? How can this pearl be compared to gold, and gold will be like that for many years."
"I think those rich people are willing to buy gold to go back. It looks good on the body, and can be preserved for a long time to be passed on to the next generation."
"Sister, pearls are beautiful. Pearls will grow old, and beauty will also fade away. Isn't it good to pick a string of beautiful pearls to grow old with you?" Qin Rou smiled and said: " Sister, you haven't been to Guangcheng, you don't know, there are many foreigners on the streets of Guangcheng now, foreigners like pearls, they are very sought after in their countries, especially in Europe, because they don't To produce pearls, we have the best pearls in the waters of Guangdong and Guangxi.”
"The pearls we raise, let's not talk about earning money from Chinese people, we must earn money from foreigners."
"Now foreigners come to us to invest and set up factories, they want to make our money, and we also want to make theirs."
"Really?" Qin Mian originally thought that the pearl was useless, but her sister insisted that foreigners like pearls very much, and the pearls raised in the future will definitely be sold. If the factory is well established, they will be able to make a fortune.
"Sister, I have been studying abroad for the past two years, and I may not be on the island often. You help me manage the breeding plant. When the income of the breeding plant comes out, I will give you dividends. Now the world has changed. , let's earn more money, you and your brother-in-law can live comfortably on the island, but next year Juanjuan and Jinghua will also be admitted to university. Their grades will definitely be able to get into a good university. It's expenses, and you have to save money for them."
"Isn't it, these two children are so old now, they are about to go to college, and when they finish their studies, they will get married and start a family, and our family should save more for them Order the dowry."
Thinking of the eldest daughter and second son in the family, Qin Mian really wanted to save more money in her heart. She was a girl in the mountains and married casually, but her daughter wanted to give it to her Prepare more dowry, so that you will have more confidence in your husband's house in the future.
So is her son Jinghua, he has to marry a daughter-in-law, and now he needs to buy four big pieces. Now, what refrigerators, washing machines, and imported color TVs are all hundreds of thousands of dollars in size.
My daughter saves a set of gold jewelry as the bottom of the box.
"Amy, what are you talking about as a pearl cultivation factory?"
"I invested money and cooperated with our pearl experiment station here. The researchers will come to guide us to cultivate pearls. I have also written a plan here, sister, I also plan Find A Shi and let him grow pearls with me..."
Qin Rou showed Qin Mian her plan for opening a breeding factory, Qin Mian shook her hand, she doubted herself: "How can I understand your sister, I don't understand any culture The instructor came to teach you how to cultivate pearls, can I learn it? Don't screw up your business, Amei..."
"Don't worry, there are researchers from the experimental station who will regularly check and record the growth and cultivation of mother-of-pearl oysters. There will be no major problems. Let's talk about it—" Qin Rou smiled and looked at her sister: " Sister, you also have a big think tank brother-in-law by your side, you can't understand it, he can understand it, so let your brother-in-law teach you."
Qin Mian nodded in confusion, anyway, just do what her sister said.
The sisters Qin Rou went to find A Shi together. A Shi heard about the pearl cultivation, his eyes flashed, and he did not agree immediately.
"It's a cooperation with other people's test stations, don't worry, there's no problem."
"This is an opportunity to make money. Your sister's illness is going to be treated in the hospital. All these need money."
Ashi looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and the faces of his sister and grandma appeared in his mind. Although grandma asked him to stay in the village honestly, he was not reconciled. Unwilling to stay poor in the village like this.
In the end he nodded: "I promise you."
A Shi returned home, and after being silent for a long time, he still told his grandma, but was scolded by grandma: "Who told you to touch those things again, those are good Something? Be careful to cause trouble for the family again, and now I finally took off the hat, in case you put it on again..."
"Grandma, let me try it, this year is different from before. In the future, you can go to the brigade to listen to the radio, the news of our country, and many people who came back from Guangcheng. People, they all say the outside is different."
"Our family will be able to live a good life in the future."
Qin Rou also intends to find a few more acquaintances to help, if it is a local from Qiongzhou Island, it will be better, so that it is convenient to deal with those villagers and fishing boats: "How is Aunt Fu's house recently? ?"
"There was an accident at her house." Qin Mian couldn't help sighing when she mentioned Aunt Fu's house, "Her daughter Menglan almost died of pesticides, but fortunately, her sister-in-law was killed by her sister-in-law. I saw it, sent it to the hospital and rescued the person."
"The Zhou Yuanfang she married is really not a good thing. She was admitted to a college and found another woman in the city. The woman gave birth to a son and got a marriage certificate. Meng Lan She and her daughter Qingqing were left in the village... Meng Lan went to school with her brother to look for him, and was humiliated by the people over there. After returning, she didn't think about it, and almost brought her daughter... Aunt Fu is now at home every day. Daughter and granddaughter wipe away tears."
"I'll check it out later." There were countless educated youths returning to the city to abandon their wives and children.
Qin Rou went to Aunt Fu's house and knocked on the door. Aunt Fu was folding vegetables and was very happy to see her: "Little Qin sister, are you here to visit your sister and brother-in-law again?"
Qin Rou looked at Aunt Fu, and found that her hair was more than half white.
She chatted with Aunt Fu.
"You've heard about our Menglan, hey, I also persuaded me, I don't know how to persuade, Xiao Qin, you are young and literate, help me persuade Menglan Lan."
"The man will leave as soon as he leaves, and the day will go on."
Qin Rou walked into Fu's house, Meng Lan, a young girl in her twenties, lay on the bed with a pale and haggard face, with a sluggish expression on her face, next to a man who was over a year old little girl.
Qin Rou hugged the little girl and coaxed, and when she heard her daughter's voice, Meng Lan's tears flowed down, "Sister Qin Rou, how do you think I want to live, Zhou Yuanfang He doesn't want our mother and daughter anymore, he has someone outside, and he said I was ashamed to seduce him..."
"My mother didn't tell me, and I know that many people in the village are laughing at me behind their backs, saying that I was shameless and shameless to hook up with educated youths in the city, and now they are ruined by others. A broken shoe deserves it."
"I embarrassed my parents and my mother..." Meng Lan choked and said incoherently. The recent events had hit her hard. She and her brother went to Zhou Yuanfang's school to find him a theory. , but she and her brother were both born on the island, they were born and raised in the village, and they had never been outside.
The outside world is so different, they look at the new things in the city tremblingly, they don’t dare to touch anything, they don’t dare to ask anything. Can't understand.
When she arrived at Zhou Yuanfang's school, she was met with countless cold eyes. There was a bright and beautiful female student with permed hair and high-end clothes. Black and ugly, dressed in sloppy clothes, and can't stand on the stage. Compared with Zhou Yuanfang, who is dressed in fashion, one is in the sky and the other is underground. The students over there laugh at her for eating swan meat.
"Zhou Yuanfang, is this your country daughter-in-law?"
"You pick this one too?"
"It's really not too picky."
…
, she should keep her duty and find a local man to marry, so that her brother will not be humiliated with her.
She saw how sloppy she was in the mirror in the city, she saw with her own eyes how humble and cautious her brother was in front of the city people, not only the mockery of the school students, but also The cold eyes of the conductors, the disgust and impatience of the waiters...
Meng Lan covered her ears and wept bitterly. She wanted to cover her ears and eyes, but those pictures and sounds would still float.
"Sister Qin Rou, what's the point of my life? I'm going down with my daughter, so as not to drag my parents and my mother down."
Qin Rou raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Don't say these words, I'm sorry your man won't be hurt by these words, only your parents who love you will be sad for you sad."
"Let my aunt hear it, isn't this poking her heart with a knife?"
"Menglan, you have to live well, you have to live wonderfully, if you want to not be laughed at by others, then you have to become stronger."
Meng Lan looked at Qin Rou in front of her with tears in her eyes. Sister Qin Rou was more beautiful and beautiful than the students she saw that day. She would never laugh at her and would talk to her gently.
"Sister Qin Rou, I want to be like you too... Do you also think I'm delusional?" Meng Lan laughed at herself: "I'm a country girl, and ugly It's ugly, how can I climb the ranks of the city people, and I have no culture..."
"Look at my hand." Qin Rou stretched out a hand in front of her.
Meng Lan saw the snow-white palm spread out in front of her, with a shining golden bead in the palm, the light from the window shone in, and the red-gold bead reflected a dazzling light .
So beautiful.
A golden light appeared in front of her eyes.
"Did you see this golden pearl?"
"See."
"Like it?"
“Like.”
"Do you want to raise pearls with your sister Qin Rou?"
