Chapter 870

"Brother Guang, what kind of grapes do you have? Why are they different from those sold in the market?"

"Yeah, is it because of the lens? The color of the grapes is too purple."

Water friends found that the grapes in Liu Xiaoguang's hands were somewhat different from the common grapes on the market.

"It's not because of the lens, the grapes are just a little purple!"

"How do these grapes taste?"

"It looks delicious!"

“It’s such a blessing to be able to eat the grapes I grew myself”

The vines in Liu Xiaoguang's yard are quite old.

Since Liu Xiaoguang was young, there have been these vines in the yard.

Every summer, it is lush and green, and it is a good place to escape the heat.

Liu Xiaoguang still remembers that in the long summer afternoon, he and Liu Tiezhu put up a deck chair and lay under the vines to enjoy the cool.

Grandpa fanned him while telling him stories.

Sometimes when I have spare money, I will buy him a five-cent popsicle.

Those are Liu Xiaoguang's fond memories of summer.

Liu Xiaoguang didn't know what kind of grape vine was in his family, but he only heard from his grandfather that he dug it from the back mountain when he was young.

This grape is different from the grapes on the market. It is slightly smaller, but full of flavor.

Moreover, these grapes have grown for more than [-] years, and they still produce grapes every year.

It feels quite old and strong.

Liu Xiaoguang later ate many varieties of grapes, but none had the taste of that kind of grapes, which could compare to the one in his own yard.

"I don't know what varieties these grapes are. Wait a minute, I'll ask my old man!"

Liu Xiaoguang went back to the house and called out Liu Tiezhu who was watching the news broadcast.

"Grandpa, what variety are these grapes?
"What variety?" Liu Tiezhu glared at Liu Xiaoguang, "I don't know what kind it is, this is the wild grape I dug in the back mountain. Don't delay me from watching the news!"

After speaking, Liu Tiezhu stopped taking care of Liu Xiaoguang, and went back to his room to continue watching the news.

"The old man's body is quite tough, full of energy!"

"Haha, I just like watching Brother Guang suffer!"

"Brother Guang is no good either, he looks like a grandson in front of others!"

"There's nothing wrong with that, Brother Guang is the real grandson!"

Liu Xiaoguang was a little speechless, but he became interested in these vines.

He walked up and counted carefully, there were eight plants in total!

Liu Xiaoguang confirmed with Liu Tiezhu that he dug back eight plants from the back mountain.

In other words, during the past thirty years, all eight vines have survived.

Such tenacious vitality is very rare.

"Brothers, I'm going to ask the experts on the farm to take a look. These eight vines can survive for more than [-] years without any disease. If this gene can be grafted to other varieties of vines, it can greatly improve the quality of life. reduce pests and diseases."

"There have been no problems for more than [-] years? This vine is really powerful!"

"There won't be any new species, will it?"

"Really, it looks amazing."

Liu Xiaoguang also had such doubts, but he didn't tell the water friends too much, and the final result would not be known until experts confirmed it.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoguang contacted Shen Mingzhu and asked her to arrange for two agricultural experts to come to his yard to confirm the grape variety.

At nine o'clock in the morning, two men wearing glasses came to Liu Xiaoguang's yard.

The two are old and young, and the older one is about 50 years old.

The younger one, in his twenties, was bookish.

The same thing is that the two people have dark skin, and they often work outdoors from the beginning.

"Mr. Liu, I'm Gu Mingcheng from the New Hope Agricultural Research Institute! This is Zhao Ziming. Mr. Shen asked us to take a look at your grapes."

Although Zhao Ziming was young, Liu Xiaoguang knew that those who could be arranged by Shen Mingzhu must have good professional knowledge.

"Excuse me, both of you, please follow me!"

Liu Xiaoguang led the two into his small courtyard.

Both Gu Mingcheng and Zhao Ziming walked into Liu Xiaoguang's small courtyard for the first time.

Seeing the internal structure of Liu Xiaoguang's small courtyard, both of them were a little surprised.

In their impression, the place where a billionaire like Liu Xiaoguang lives is absolutely magnificent.

But such an ordinary small courtyard really surprised them.

This small courtyard is not even comparable to the courtyards of many villagers in Liujia Village.

"There are a total of eight vines here, all of which were dug by my grandfather from the back mountain. It has been more than [-] years!"

Liu Xiaoguang brought the two of them to the vine.

The expressions of Gu Mingcheng and Zhao Ziming immediately became serious, and the two of them entered the working state.

"Ziming, check the roots of these vines and determine the age of the vines."

"Okay, teacher!"

The two are in a master-student relationship.

Before Gu Mingcheng came to work at New Hope Farm, he was a teacher at the Agricultural College.Gu Mingcheng has peaches and plums all over the world, and Zhao Ziming is his proud disciple.

After switching jobs from the Agricultural College to New Hope Farm, Gu Mingcheng brought Zhao Ziming with him.

Although the two are now colleagues, Zhao Ziming is still used to calling Gu Ming "teacher".

Zhao Ziming measured the rhizomes of the vines, while Gu Mingcheng stared at the grape leaves and grapes carefully.While watching, he muttered to himself, "The grapes grow really strangely. I haven't seen grapes like Zhang Cheng's."

"Is there anything strange about these grapes?" Liu Xiaoguang asked Gu Mingcheng.

"That's it, Mr. Liu, look at the grape leaves," Gu Mingcheng pulled a grape leaf.

"Isn't this just an ordinary leaf?"In Liu Xiaoguang's opinion, there is nothing special about this grape leaf.

Gu Mingcheng smiled, "Mr. Liu is not a professional, and he is not familiar with the shape of the leaves of grape vines. The leaves we usually see are similar to maple leaves, which are usually divided into 3 to 5 lobes, but the leaves of this grape are Not lobed, but an oval."

After Gu Mingcheng's introduction, Liu Xiaoguang noticed that the grape leaves in Gu Mingcheng's hands were regular ovals, which were somewhat different from the grape leaves he usually saw.

"Teacher, this vine has grown for at least 40 years!"

At this time, Zhao Ziming, who was squatting on the ground, exclaimed, his tone full of surprise.

"40 years?" Gu Mingcheng was also a little shocked.

The growth period of grapes is only more than 30 years.Grape vines over [-] years old are rare.

The few vines in front of us have grown for 40 years.

The most important thing is that these vines are still bearing fruit, and there are still a lot of them.

Gu Mingcheng looked at the fruitful vines and said to Liu Xiaoguang, "Mr. Liu, can you pick a bunch of grapes for me to taste?"
