"Xiao Lin, Ah Hu, each table has one plate of braised taro and two plates of tomato sauce." Su Zhenhong ordered in the kitchen.
"Okay." Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and others nodded and went out carrying braised taro and tomato sauce.
"Grandpa, uncle, I also want to eat braised taro." Su Yan ran directly into the kitchen to ask for something to eat.
"We are very busy here, go find your grandma or mother." Su Zhenhong said.
"Yanyan, come here." Su Zhenyue took a small bowl, filled it with a bowl of braised taro, handed it to Su Yan and said, "Take it, but don't come into the kitchen again, otherwise we will accidentally knock you over when we are busy, and you will be hurt." You know, let’s go find uncle for food?”
"I know, uncle." Su Yan called sweetly, took the bowl of braised taro, and said, "I also want ketchup."
"Okay, I'll give you a bowl of ketchup too." Su Zhenyue said with a smile.
Su Yan carried taro in one hand and ketchup in the other. She walked carefully to the living room, placed it on the table, and then started eating by herself. She grabbed the taro with her hands, dipped it in ketchup, stuffed it into her mouth, and then showed an intoxicated look. color.
She finished a piece of taro in two or three bites and licked the ketchup on her hand. Her eyes lit up. She dipped her hand into her mouth with some ketchup and her eyes brightened even more. Then, he picked up the small bowl of ketchup and started licking it like a puppy. He licked the small bowl of ketchup cleanly in a few licks. She did remember what her grandfather and uncle said, and ran directly to find Su Jing instead of running to the kitchen. Su Jing was naturally not stingy when it came to her little niece and gave her two big red tomatoes.
At the same time, the guests in the yard also discovered the delicious taste of tomato sauce. They wrapped the taro in their bowls one after another, and the tomato sauce was used up in a few times. Some of them were thick-skinned, such as Qin Shuang, Tang Xiaoyu, Qin Xulan, and Liu Qing at the table immediately picked up the bowls of ketchup and grabbed them. After only one bite, they concluded that the ketchup was made by Su Jing. However, they miscalculated this time. The deliciousness of ketchup lies not in the preparation, but in the tomatoes themselves.
"Uncle, many people want ketchup, is there any more?" Su Liang walked into the kitchen.
"Didn't we just bring two bowls of ketchup to each table? The only thing that needs ketchup is taro. Why do we need so much ketchup?" Su Zhenhong said strangely.
"I don't know, a lot of people are rushing to eat ketchup, and one guy just eats ketchup mixed with rice." Su Liang was also a little surprised.
"Robbing to eat?" Su Zhenhong scooped some ketchup with a spoon and put it into his mouth, and then his eyes widened quickly. He made the ketchup himself, and he knew very well that the recipe was as simple as usual, so it was so delicious. , it should not be due to the method. Thinking of Su Jing's reaction before, he couldn't help but think, "Are the tomatoes in the refrigerator not ordinary tomatoes?"
However, Su Zhenhong didn't think too much and said, "Just say no more. How can anyone be full after eating ketchup?"
"Ah Jing, how did you make this tomato sauce? Why is it so delicious?" When Su Jing went to greet the guests, Wang Zhuo pulled Su Jing to sit down and asked. Qian Shufeng and Zhao Zhi looked even more excited. At the beginning, He wanted to invite Su Jing back to the hotel restaurant to be a chef, but unfortunately he failed. Su Jing's cooking skills couldn't be bought, but he might be able to buy the secret recipe for tomato sauce.
"Haha, this ketchup is just like ordinary ketchup." Su Jing said.
"This is impossible." Qian Shufeng and Zhao Zhi denied in unison. It's not like there is no ketchup in their hotel restaurant. The ketchup and other sauces carefully prepared by the chef are not as delicious. How can ordinary ketchup be so delicious? Dozens of people at tables were grabbing ketchup. It’s not easy to see such a grand occasion.
"Haha." Su Jing smiled and said nothing. She went to get two tomatoes, cut them into many pieces in front of them, and then said, "You guys eat and see."
Wang Zhuo, Wang Siya, Qian Shufeng, and Zhao Zhi all looked puzzled. They didn't know what Su Jing meant. However, they picked up the tomato one after another and took a bite. Then they immediately looked shocked and raised their hands in two or three movements. I ate all the tomatoes in there.
"You mean, it's the tomato itself. What kind of tomato is this? Why is it so delicious?" Qian Shufeng looked surprised. Maybe a new variety was released, but he didn't hear any news about it.
"It turns out that tomatoes can be so delicious when eaten raw." Zhao Zhi exclaimed. Wang Zhuo and Wang Siya simply stopped talking and ate one piece at a time. It looked like they were eating elegantly, but in fact they chewed very quickly. In a short time, both tomatoes were eaten.
"Ah Jing, where did this new tomato variety come from? There shouldn't be one on the market, right?" Wang Zhuo asked.
"It's a variety I cultivated accidentally. It shouldn't be available on the market." Su Jing nodded.
"Did you cultivate it accidentally?" Wang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You said it so lightly. If people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences heard this, they would probably be scared. They spent huge sums of money for ten years. , I haven’t developed such a delicious tomato yet.”
"It's just a coincidence." Su Jing scratched her head. She was just a tomato variety picked up from the garbage of mortals cultivating immortals, and she had no merit to speak of.
"With such a good tomato, have you ever thought about planting it in a large area and developing agriculture? Because the tourism industry has been doing well recently, someone from your town mayor recommended a large area of cultivated land to me. It is said that there was a lot of corn in the past. The harvest was not good and the money was lost, causing the land to be barren for several months." Wang Zhuo suddenly had a thought.
"Of course I have thought about it and am preparing to find land to recruit people." Su Jing's eyes lit up. In fact, if she wanted to do it on a large scale, the most troublesome thing would be to find land, plus a series of procedures, recruitment, sales channels, etc. The messy questions were too troublesome, causing Su Jing to take no action. After all, it is impossible for me to spend too much time and energy on this matter. If you can cooperate with Wang Zhuo, it will definitely save you worry and effort.
“But there is a problem. Agricultural patent protection is too weak. Currently, in international conventions, although the TRIPS Agreement and the UPOV Convention both stipulate that new plant varieties can be protected through patents, many members of the TRIPS Agreement still have Domestic laws do not grant patent rights to new plant varieties. Currently, my country does not grant patent protection to animal and plant varieties, including new plant varieties bred through genetic engineering. There is only a specialized new plant variety law to protect new plant varieties," said Wang Zhuo , paused for a moment, and continued, "In short, once this new variety comes out, anyone can use it to cultivate and grow it. We will lose our advantage, and our profits will be very limited in the future."
Wang Zhuo's meaning is obvious. This tomato can only make the first handful. After that, this variety will definitely spread across the country and become a common agricultural product. Of course, you can still make money if you plant well, but this kind of profit is not worth the investment for him and Su Jing.
"Brother Zhuo, what if I can guarantee that this new breed will not leak out?" Su Jing said, which made Wang Zhuo narrow his eyes slightly.
