I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

While their overseas business layout was progressing steadily, Chen Jia and Chen Jue set their sights on a new field - overseas fresh fruits and vegetables. They found that fruits and vegetables that are common overseas, such as cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, and potatoes, were rarely known in Daqing. The two keenly realized that if these fruits and vegetables could be introduced to Daqing and successfully cultivated and promoted, it would not only enrich the dining tables of Daqing people, but also open up a new business opportunity.

On this day, the sun shines through the window into the room of the Chen Mansion, which is filled with all kinds of overseas fruit and vegetable samples and planting books. Chen Jia and Chen Jue are sitting at the table, which is filled with cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, potatoes and other fruits and vegetables. Chen Jia gently picks up a tomato, with excitement in her eyes, and speaks first: "Husband, look at these fresh fruits and vegetables brought from overseas. They look novel and have a unique taste. I think it would be great if we could successfully cultivate them in Daqing so that the people can also taste these delicacies. Moreover, this may become another breakthrough point for our business."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the fruits and vegetables, and he said thoughtfully: "My wife, your idea is very far-sighted. However, these fruits and vegetables grow overseas, and their climate, soil and other environments are very different from those in Daqing. To successfully introduce them, we need to study their growth habits in depth and find techniques suitable for cultivation in Daqing. This is not an easy task."

Chen Jia put down the tomatoes and said seriously, "Husband, I understand the difficulties. But we can gather experienced farmers from all over Daqing and scholars who have studied plant cultivation to discuss and research together. First, carefully observe the growth environment of these fruits and vegetables overseas and record the temperature, humidity, light and other conditions. Then, find a similar environment in Daqing for trial planting, and study how to make them adapt to the environment of Daqing by improving the soil and adjusting the planting time."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and added: "Madam, in addition to studying the planting environment, we also need to pay attention to the planting techniques of these fruits and vegetables. For example, their sowing methods, fertilization methods, pest and disease control, etc. We can let the old farmers rely on their experience and combine the theoretical knowledge of scholars to summarize a set of planting techniques suitable for Daqing. Moreover, during the promotion process, we must let the people understand the nutritional value and eating methods of these fruits and vegetables, so that they can be better accepted by everyone."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "It's great that my husband has thought so carefully. Let's act quickly and gather people from all sides to jointly start this research of extraordinary significance."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's not delay any longer. Gather everyone as soon as possible, pool our wisdom, and strive to come up with results as soon as possible."

Soon, a group of experienced farmers and knowledgeable scholars gathered at the Chen Mansion. After Chen Jia and Chen Jue explained their ideas in detail, a senior farmer frowned and said, "Duke, Madam, it is indeed a big challenge to make these overseas fruits and vegetables take root in Daqing. Each kind of fruit and vegetable has its own unique temperament. For example, cucumbers like warmth, and eggplants cannot tolerate cold. We have to understand their habits in order to prescribe the right medicine."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Father, you are very experienced. During the planting process, I hope you can pay more attention to their growth conditions. We can first set out a few test fields to simulate the overseas planting environment, plant them according to different methods, and record the effect of each method in detail."

At this time, a botanist said, "Madam, Duke, theoretically, we can create conditions suitable for the growth of these fruits and vegetables by improving the pH and fertility of the soil. At the same time, we can study their growth cycles and reasonably adjust the planting time to avoid the harsh climate period in Daqing."

Chen Jia said, "Sir, please take the trouble to develop a detailed planting plan based on the experience of the old farmers. If you need anything during the research process, please feel free to ask."

A scholar continued, "Duke and Madam, we must prepare in advance for pest control. We must understand the common pests and diseases of these fruits and vegetables overseas, study whether there are similar situations in Daqing, and find corresponding prevention and control methods."

Chen Jue nodded and said, "This is indeed crucial. We cannot let the fruits and vegetables we have worked so hard to grow be destroyed by pests and diseases. We must work together to ensure a smooth planting process."

Everyone took the order and devoted themselves to intensive research and experimental planting.

A few days later, Chen Jia and Chen Jue came to the experimental field. An old farmer said to them excitedly: "Duke, Madam, we planted these fruits and vegetables in different ways. So far, it seems that cucumbers and eggplants have adapted well. But tomatoes and potatoes seem to have high requirements for soil fertility. We are still adjusting the type and amount of fertilizer."

Chen Jia looked at the fruits and vegetables in the experimental field and said, "Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work. For tomatoes and potatoes, continue to try different fertilizer formulas to see which one works best. At the same time, pay attention to their needs for light and water."

Chen Jue also said: "Father-in-law, if you encounter any difficulties during the planting process, don't be discouraged, we will work together to find a solution."

In the botanist's laboratory, scholars are analyzing soil samples and growth data of fruits and vegetables. A scholar said to Chen Jia and Chen Jue: "Duke, Madam, after testing and analysis, we found that tomatoes and potatoes are more suitable for acidic and fertile soil. We can improve the soil by adding some acidic fertilizers and organic matter. In addition, the planting time of potatoes may need to be slightly later than that of local crops in Daqing to avoid the low temperature weather in the early stage."

Chen Jia said, "Sir, your research results are very important. Let's continue to try this method in the test field and see how it works."

After months of careful research and repeated experiments, we finally figured out a set of techniques suitable for growing these overseas fruits and vegetables in Daqing. Cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes and potatoes are growing very well in the experimental fields.

Chen Jia looked at the tomato plants full of fruits and said to Chen Jue excitedly, "Husband, look, our efforts have finally paid off. These fruits and vegetables can thrive in Daqing."

Chen Jue smiled and responded: "Madam, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Next, we have to consider how to promote it on a large scale so that more people can benefit from it."

In order to promote the cultivation of these fruits and vegetables, Chen Jia and Chen Jue organized a number of planting technology training courses, inviting veteran farmers and scholars to teach planting techniques to the people.

At a training class, Chen Jia said to the people who came to learn: "Fellow villagers, these fresh fruits and vegetables from overseas are not only delicious, but also nutritious. After you learn the planting techniques, you can plant them in your own fields when you go home, and you will be able to eat them often in the future."

A commoner asked curiously: "Madam, this tomato looks bright red, how should I eat it?"

Chen Jia smiled and replied: "Tomatoes can be eaten raw, which is sweet and delicious; they can also be fried and used to make soup, which is especially delicious. In addition, it has many benefits and can make people healthier."

Chen Jue went on to say: "Fellow villagers, there are many ways to eat potatoes. You can boil them, roast them, or cut them into strips and stir-fry them. Planting them is not difficult either. You can grow them well by following the methods we teach you."

In addition to organizing training courses, Chen Jia and Chen Jue also organized people to compile a planting manual, which detailed the planting techniques, nutritional value and eating methods of these fruits and vegetables and distributed them to the people.

During the promotion process, some difficulties were encountered. An old farmer said worriedly: "Duke, Madam, we have been farming for a lifetime and are used to growing local crops. We are not sure about growing these crops that we have never seen before."

Chen Jue said patiently, "Don't worry, father-in-law. We will arrange for someone to guide you in planting. If you have any questions, you can always find us. Moreover, the market prospects of these fruits and vegetables are very good. If they are planted well, they can bring you a lot of profits."

As the promotion work progresses, more and more people are trying to grow these overseas fruits and vegetables. Chen Jia and Chen Jue are very pleased to see the people's enthusiasm gradually increase.

Chen Jia said: "Husband, I am really happy to see that people are becoming more and more accepting of these fruits and vegetables. This not only enriches everyone's diet, but may also change everyone's life."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "My dear, this is just the beginning. We must continue to pay attention to the planting situation, constantly improve the planting technology, and help the people solve the problems they encounter. At the same time, we must open up sales channels for these fruits and vegetables so that they can truly become a good helper for the people to increase their income."

Thanks to the efforts of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, potatoes and other overseas fruits and vegetables have gradually been widely planted in Daqing. People taste these new fruits and vegetables, and their lives have become more colorful. Chen Jia and Chen Jue have also won praise from the people for this introduction and promotion, and have also made a significant contribution to the business field. Their stories have spread in Daqing, inspiring more people to be brave enough to try and innovate.
