Chapter 348 What is the Whole Rice Feast?

Ye Zhou originally thought that the so-called whole rice feast was just a gimmick, but he didn't expect that the whole rice was really all about rice.

The staple food is rice and rice noodles, so it goes without saying that the various snacks made of rice are not beyond his expectations, but the variety of the main dish really surprised him.

Grass fish, Daoxiang chicken, beef crispy rice, Daoxiang shrimp, rice field loach, lotus root, bullfrog, rice flower soft-shelled turtle
All the breeding and planting products symbiotic with rice were put on the dining table, which opened the eyes of Chen Hao and Ye Zhou who came here purely to relax. Ye Zhou was already tired of eating the recipes prepared by the health workers arranged above. It was even more feasting, and even Wu Ping, the guard who came with him, was faintly at a disadvantage.

According to Ye Zhou's request, there were no other leaders at this meal except Xu Lei and a few young colleagues at the same level. When the cups and plates were messed up, everyone felt their stomachs and leaned back on the chairs to rest.

After panting for a while, Xu Lei first sighed:

"This kind of dinner is really enjoyable. You don't need to drink, you don't need to flatter, and someone will reimburse you for the meal. Ye Gong, you can come here a few more times in the future, preferably once a month, and improve the food for us."

Ye Zhou gave her a funny look. After returning from the experimental field, she was still dressed in a plain face, but after changing into fresh clothes, she looked more youthful in line with her age.

"With so many industries, you still worry about food and drink? Are you raising these things yourself? It's a pity that there are no snails—I remember that the symbiosis of rice and snails was a hot topic two years ago, right?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Xu Lei instantly returned to her professional working state, nodded slightly and replied:
"The symbiosis of rice and snails is indeed a very good subject. However, the water quality requirements of snails are too high, and a slight change in acidity and alkalinity will lead to large areas of death. This requires strict control of the frequency of spraying and fertilizing rice. It's basically impossible."

"I heard that before I came here, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had set up one or two acres of rice and snail symbiotic fields, but the effect was too poor to be promoted. The project was canceled within two years."

"The field is still there now, but it's not snails, it's ducks—it will be ready to eat in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Gong, do you want to come?"

Seeing Xu Lei's sly smile, Ye Zhou nodded understandingly, and replied:
"We'll see if we have time then. But seriously, are you all so miserable? How can you say you don't have enough to eat?"

Xu Lei laughed and replied:
"That's not as exaggerated as not being able to eat enough. The main thing is that who would refuse to eat a good meal? You see, this meal is not something that our unit cafeteria can cook. It is specially invited to the restaurant. chef."

"Our leader still wants to come, but I heard that you rejected it?"

Xu Lei looked at Ye Zhou curiously. Today's meal was indeed the most special meal she had ever eaten since she was working, so she couldn't help but to explore the reasons behind it.

According to the reception specifications of your own unit, generally speaking, the visits of colleagues at the same level in the same unit will be settled in the cafeteria.

Senior leaders of units at the same level also receive reception in a small restaurant, but the dishes are of relatively high standard, and the reception is also dedicated to office staff.

When you arrive at the superior leader of the superior unit, the reception will go to a special restaurant. The specifications of the dishes are in accordance with the fixed meal standard, and the single-person budget is strictly controlled.

As for the dinner arranged at the farm like today, she only participated once, and she participated as the only key employee elected last year. Many of the leaders she met that time were those who frequently appeared on TV.

But today's meal is different from any previous meal.

My biggest boss arranges the menu in person, and the director of the office personally goes to the best hotel in the county to invite the chef.

Under such a specification, the last ones to eat were actually just a few small characters like himself.

Such a sense of contrast made her suspect that the person who came this time was some kind of mysterious second generation, but looking at the young and easy-going face opposite, she really couldn't match him with the second generation in her impression.

However, after all, this face is a little familiar.

Ye Zhou on the other side didn't think too much. After all, he was just here to eat. A series of things were arranged by Chen Hao and Chen Hao's office staff, so when he heard Xu Lei's question, he I didn't know how to answer for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:
"Probably. It's a refusal. Anyway, we are here to look at the new rice seedlings this time, and it's not an inspection. There is no need to do it. Uh, there is no need to be too serious."

Ye Zhou originally wanted to say, "There's no need to overexcite the teachers and mobilize the crowd", but after thinking about it, this is actually a very naive statement.

With his current status, no matter where he goes or what he does, it is impossible not to mobilize people, because his importance lies in this, and his safety must be strictly guaranteed at all times.

This is actually one of the reasons why he is reluctant to go out. He has not really adapted to this "specialized" treatment.

"Hey, I think this is pretty good. It would be great if there were more leaders like you. Ye Gong, what are you in charge of specifically? Can you say this?"

Xu Lei's question was a little rash, and of course Ye Zhou would not answer, but just smiled and said:
"This involves confidentiality, so it's inconvenient for me to tell you. However, it must have something to do with our rice research, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

"That's it, hehe, actually I didn't really want to know, I understand the confidentiality rules!"

Xu Lei didn't continue to ask, but calmly skipped the topic.

Several people returned to the topic of eating, drinking and drinking for a while. Ye Zhou could see that they were a little tired, so he proposed to leave.

The accommodation was arranged long ago, and it was still led by Xu Lei. Ye Zhou and his party each found their own room. Just as Xu Lei was explaining to them how to use the various facilities, the watch on her hand suddenly vibrated.

Xu Lei raised her arm and glanced at the display of the watch, then said apologetically:

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Chen, I won't introduce you any more. Anyway, these things are no different from ordinary hotels. I have some urgent matters. I have to go to the field to deal with them. I'm sorry."

"Is it urgent? What can I do at such a late hour?"

Ye Zhou looked at the other party suspiciously and asked.

"The monitoring system indicates that the water level in one field is lower than the warning line. It is estimated that the upstream canal is blocked. I have to unclog it. It doesn't matter. You can just rest. It's not a troublesome thing."

"It's not a matter of trouble or not. Is it safe for you, a girl, to go to the fields at such a late hour? Why don't you let your leaders change?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Xu Lei laughed.

"Gong Ye, the countryside now is different from the one before. Our experimental fields are all connected to the Internet with intelligent systems, plus we have the Skynet system and the Safe Village system, so we don't have to worry about it at all."

Ye Zhou suddenly nodded, and after a pause, he said:
"Is that so, why don't we go with you? I happen to be full too, so go for a walk and digest."

"Then let's come together, just to show you our field management system."

Xu Lei nodded without pretense, and then continued:

"Hey, most of our budget has been spent on this, we have to let the leader see the results."
