"Where should we go next?" Lin Wei asked Wu Hao after leaving the laboratory.
Wu Hao looked at the blue sky, then smiled and said: "Let's go eat first, and then I will take you somewhere."
"What place is so mysterious?" Lin Wei couldn't help but wonder.
"Haha, I told you how to surprise you." Wu Haochang smiled, and then greeted Zou Xiaodong behind him: "Let's go, I will take you to eat delicious food. I told you, here
The mutton is very authentic, you have to try it."
Upon hearing Wu Hao's words, Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but smile: "Then I have to give it a try."
With that said, everyone headed to the small restaurant in the base. This small restaurant is also a staff restaurant. However, compared to several large restaurants, this is a commercial service restaurant with a good environment and considerate service.
Although there are subsidies for employees to eat, the amount of the subsidy is lower than that of an ordinary employee restaurant. Although the subsidy is low, it cannot stand up to the delicious food here, so this small restaurant is very popular.
The dining staff seemed a little surprised by their arrival, but they were not too surprised. Because it was common for Wu Hao and the others to dine in ordinary restaurants, so it was not unusual to encounter them.
Everyone then found a place to sit down, and then the person in charge of the restaurant rushed over, said a few words and started ordering.
It didn't take long for the table to be filled with all kinds of delicacies. Lin Wei couldn't help but pick up her customized mobile phone and look at the delicacies.
Wu Hao greeted Zou Xiaodong: "Try these charcoal-grilled lamb chops. They are made from Yellow River Tan sheep. The meat is fat and tender. Moreover, the skill of the master who grilled the lamb chops is also very extraordinary. This is a family tradition."
"Really? Then I have to try it." After saying that, Zou Xiaodong immediately tore open a lamb chop and started eating it. After taking the photo, Lin Wei couldn't wait to pick up a baked bun and start eating it.
The food in Haoyu Technology's restaurant is very good, so it is very popular among employees. Therefore, in the company's internal community forum, some good employees posted a food ranking list. What is delicious in the company's restaurant? This
It has become an important reference for everyone to check in when traveling.
The Northwest R&D Center’s baked buns, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, and beef noodles are all on the list. Lin Wei had already made relevant guides on the plane, so she ordered these directly. Otherwise, there are several at the base.
Restaurant, why would they choose to come specifically to a small restaurant?
After the meal, everyone returned to the hotel to rest. Lin Wei, as for Lin Wei, was obviously a little eager to know what surprise Wu Hao had prepared for her, and asked many times.
And every time, Wu Hao would smile and not answer or say a few words, which made Lin Wei a little crazy.
Finally, at Lin Wei's urging, Wu Hao made a few calls, and then took her out of the hotel and got into the car. The vehicle drove smoothly on the asphalt road at the base without feeling any bumps.
As the construction of the base continues to improve, the infrastructure here is getting better and better.
The vehicle left the base, drove for a while, and then came to a green sea filled with flowers of various colors.
Looking at the flowers outside, Lin Wei became excited and excited.
"These are roses!"
Wu Hao nodded, then took her out of the car and walked towards the rose garden.
There are still many people in the entire rose garden, and there are many tourists scattered on the plank road in the park to take photos and enjoy the flowers.
Not far away, a group of people were rushing towards them. The leader was a woman wearing a purple round hat. This was Yang Fang, the person in charge of the drought-tolerant plant cultivation project.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin, welcome to the rose garden." Yang Fang warmly shook hands with the two of them.
Wu Hao smiled at Lin Wei and introduced: "This is the person in charge of our drought-tolerant plant cultivation project, Dr. Yang Fang. This beautiful rose garden was written by her."
"Hello, Dr. Yang, this place is so beautiful." Lin Wei shook hands with Yang Fang and looked at the rose garden and said, "You are really amazing. You have grown so many flowers in this desert Gobi."
Such a huge sea of roses.”
"Haha, this was all Mr. Wu's idea. He has always kept us secret, just hoping to give you a surprise." Yang Fang glanced at Wu Hao, and then said to Lin Wei.
"Thank you!" After hearing Yang Fang's words, Lin Wei couldn't help but look at Wu Hao with misty eyes and said sweetly.
Wu Hao took Lin Wei's hand and smiled softly, then looked at Yang Fang and said with a smile: "Okay, stop teasing us. Now that we are here, you can introduce us to us as the master.
.”
Hearing his words, Yang Fang glanced at Lin Wei, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk while we walk."
Then everyone walked in this sea of roses, and Yang Fang also introduced to him: "This sea of roses is actually one of our experimental projects.
What we are mainly engaged in is cultivating super drought-tolerant plants suitable for the Gobi desert, and this rose, which is distributed in the northwest region of our country, is also one of the target plants for our research.
As we all know, this rose flower not only has high ornamental value, but also has edible value and additional economic value.
As for this ornamental value, everyone knows that roses represent love, so they have become a very popular flower variety among the people.
The current ornamental rose market is very large, with an output value that has already exceeded tens of billions, and is growing very fast. It can be said that the market prospects are very good.
Next is the edible value. As we all know, roses can not only be used for viewing, but can also be used to make flower cakes, and can also be used as drinks. They are very popular among women, so the market is not bad.
Finally, there is the added economic value of roses. Roses can be processed to produce rose essential oil, perfume, and aromatherapy.
Whether it is essential oils, perfumes, or aromatherapy, the economic value is very considerable, and it can be said to be an important economic crop that drives local wealth."
At this point, Yang Fang stopped, then picked up a budding rose with her fingers, smelled it, and then smiled and said: "Of course, we chose it not only because it has a higher
Its economic value is also because it is drought-resistant, easy to cut, easy to survive, and the plants are relatively lush and the root system is relatively developed.
Compared with some other plants that are easily eaten by herbivores, this rose vine is thorny, so it is not a plant that animals like to eat.
Even if it is eaten by animals, it will quickly grow new branches and leaves, making it an ideal sand-fixing plant.
Coupled with its economic benefits, it is very suitable for management of the Gobi Desert.
Of course, these alone are definitely not enough. We have carried out relevant gene editing and optimization on the original local rose planting strains. On the one hand, we have strengthened its drought resistance, and on the other hand, we have also enhanced its flowers.
The flower pattern has been improved so that the flowers they bloom are better, larger and more colorful."
