Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 572: 571. Working in the farmland

Views:

Professor Song was making phone calls one by one outside the yard - he was old and slow at sending messages, so he usually sent voice messages.

When there is an emergency, I still prefer to contact by phone.

In the yard, Zhang Yanping was full and felt like a brave man again. Looking at Tang Xiaodong at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing that I didn't study agriculture because I was afraid of hardship. Otherwise, others would work in the CBD while I would work in the fields... How hard it is!"

Tang Xiaodong also sighed: "Actually, it's not all like that. Many people who work at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also stay in the office every day, working from nine to five and making a living... We have official positions, don't we?"

and…

He looked at Zhang Yanping curiously: "What major did you study? Aren't you also working in the farmland now?"

Zhang Yanping: …

That’s true.

He decisively changed the subject: "So have you been farming all your life in college?"

"That's not the case," Tang Xiaodong said honestly.

"University isn't that hard. The internship is just a small area, so it's not tiring."

"I only started farming seriously after I became a graduate student - after all, I got a research project! Hey, let me tell you, the research project of our old professor ten years ago was an orange tree, big and sweet! We had to rob it every year!"

"There is also a project in the dormitory next door. We picked an old hen that is about to graduate at night and stewed it into soup. The aroma spreads far and wide! I couldn't stop eating it. Luckily, I also put the last one into the pot..."

He talked about gossip non-stop: "There is also a senior sister, who is amazing! She went to a remote experimental station for internship. The experimental shed there had just been demolished. She thought it didn't matter. It was a remote place with no one around. The project was simple, so she just planted some newly cultivated rapeseed in the open air..."

"Guess what happened?"

Tang Xiaodong was beaming with joy.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yanping also cooperated: "Are you asking them to pick the vegetable moss and eat it?"

Tang Xiaodong: "… I can't tell what major you studied, but your thinking is quite peasant-like."

"—What do you mean by picking vegetable moss? I was found by an internet celebrity! Kaka was running and jumping around and lying down... When they found me, the whole field looked like it had been rummaged by a wild boar."

Zhang Yanping frowned: "This is too unethical, regardless of whether it is an experiment or not. With such a large field of rapeseed, can't people just make rapeseed oil? Why waste it like this?"

He thought of the jokes on the Internet and his eyes showed sympathy.

Tang Xiaodong chuckled, "But Senior Sister didn't lose out either, her graduation project wasn't about this. She might as well just let go and start suing! She even hired some internet trolls to hype her up! That internet celebrity almost became famous!"

"This won't be much compensation, right?"

Zhang Yanping still felt uncomfortable. Rapeseed is not a valuable economic crop. Even if he won the lawsuit, how much compensation could he be awarded

It's not worth the effort.

"Well, the compensation is not much, one or two thousand yuan at most - but because netizens are very concerned about this kind of thing, once the internet celebrity meets with the lawyer of the senior sister, and then looks at the big data... Unless she wants to destroy her own job, she has to hide this stain."

"In the end, she paid 50,000 yuan and asked the senior sister to write a letter of apology, no, to reconcile."

Zhang Yanping: … This is a great novel!

This senior sister is awesome!

!

Tang Xiaodong is very experienced in this kind of thing: "Let me tell you, in this kind of thing, we are not to guard against internet celebrities, but old men and women, uncles and aunts... Internet celebrities want fame, and as long as she is not a black celebrity, she is willing to pay compensation."

"But the old man and the old lady were too reckless. Not to mention the lawyers, they rolled on the ground, crying and making a fuss when the police came... We were afraid that their blood pressure would go up!"

Tang Xiaodong couldn't stop talking: "So, we are afraid of this, and so is the teacher. Others are following the development of the times and building internet celebrity bases, but he never agrees. It's not that no one in the unit says he is conservative..."

Zhang Yanping scoffed: "To build an internet celebrity base, we must pay attention to adapting to local conditions. Now it is a matter of top-down imitation... I am going off topic. What I mean is that we are just farmers. We don't need tourism to boost the economy."

Tang Xiaodong was amused: "The conditions in your village are not good, the transportation is not good, the scenery is ordinary, and the mountains and rivers are not special... If you want to call it an Internet celebrity base, it must match it, right?"

"Hey, what you said is not right!" Zhang Yanping disagreed:

"Nowadays, any flood discharge river section can become popular. Netizens are really not picky! We are not speculating. Otherwise, if we planted half a bunch of wild peonies on any hilltop and named it "highland peonies in the deep mountains", would many people see it?"

Tang Xiaodong's eyebrows were knotted - because when he thought about it, it seemed really possible!

As they were talking, it was getting dark. Yanran looked at the vast twilight and suddenly ran upstairs to get out his camera. He took a picture of Song Sancheng who was still packing bags in the yard.

Before Zhang Yanping could ask, she went upstairs again and soon came down with her cell phone:

"Look, I just edited it with my phone. Isn't this picture particularly artistic?"

Zhang Yanping looked out—

In the distance is the vast dusk and the shadows of mountains, and in the near distance is the side profile of Song Sancheng with relaxed brows. Under the light, a hand that looks a bit dark and yellow and has a simple peasant feel is grabbing a full cup of tea leaves...

“This is a great photo!”

Zhang Yanping was instantly moved: "Pass it to me, pass it to me, I'll use it as a promotional picture for my online store—"

Song Tan also came over to take a look and took out his cell phone.

"Give me a picture and I'll develop it. Yanran, you take really great pictures!"

Yan Ran was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I usually take pictures of mountains and fields, and I have gained experience after taking a lot of pictures."

You can take pictures of mountains and fields. If they are geographical details, you don’t need light and shadow filters!

Tang Xiaodong was not without jealousy: "Obviously the five-digit camera and the five-digit lens are better..."

Yan Ran was proud: "There's nothing I can do... Who made me win the national award last year!"

The national award was definitely not enough, and her family had to contribute 20,000 yuan to get this outfit together.

“It’s so expensive…”

Song Tan looked at her camera thoughtfully, and smiled at this moment: "Then... Yanran, if you are free these two days, why don't you help me take a few more promotional photos?"

"Photograph everything you grow in the fields and raise in the pens!"

"Ah?" Yan Ran was stunned, then hesitated: "But whether it's the crops you grow in the fields or the crops you raise in the pens, the yields are very small, don't you plan to sell them?"

Those pigs in the back hill... just that good meat, how many people can they share

"It doesn't matter."

Song Tan smiled slightly: "If you can't use it now, won't you be able to use it next year?"

"Besides, I just like the feeling that netizens can see it but can't buy it."

Everyone: …

At this moment, Professor Song happily walked into the yard: "Um... Zhang Yanping, I just contacted them, and they will send samples tomorrow - by the way, here is the contact information, please write it down."

Zhang Yanping perked up: "Why send samples? Just give me a few kilograms of each! Even if they are not suitable, we still need them for cooking at home."
