246: Wait, well?
246: Wait, well?
Tan Hongru was holding a small basket in his hand, and his expression relaxed a little.
After receiving the news from Xiao Qingdai, he pulled Xiao Liu to wait outside.
Been waiting for several minutes now.
He hasn't left the research institute for many days. Qingdai said that they were going to identify grapes today, so she asked him to take a basket and pick some ripe fruits to eat.
Such a thoughtful younger generation is hard to find even with a lantern.
Tan Hongru touched the plastic bag in his pocket, looking forward to it.
When Xiao Liu saw his childish actions in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
"Master Xiao probably guessed that you wanted to go out for a stroll recently, so he specially arranged a job for you. You can go out and relax, and pick some fruits to eat."
Tan Hongru nodded somewhat arrogantly, his words making no secret of his admiration for her, "This girl really kills three birds with one stone."
The car drove out of the institute.
Xiao Mo, who was waiting outside with his phone in hand, relaxed instantly when he saw the car.
He’s out! He’s out!
I could hear the equally shocked voices of my teammates.
"Professor Tan is really willing to help us identify it!"
"He's practically the most authoritative person in this area. With him involved, this matter will probably be resolved quickly."
Previous investigations took a long time, this is the first time the efficiency is so high.
After the excitement, they discovered new problems.
Professor Tan is so authoritative that what he says is more useful than machine testing. After all, he is a god-like existence in this field.
They definitely could not invite Professor Tan on their own. It must be the Xiao family behind the team leader who helped build the bridge.
So the question is, by inviting such a capable person to make the appraisal, isn't the Xiao family just hitting themselves?
It will be found out later that it is not worth much, and the fine may not be worth mentioning to others, but this matter has made such a big fuss online now, and the reputational impact is the biggest factor.
It's really confusing.
They followed the institute's car, which seemed very skilled. Finally, they drove out of the city and stopped in front of a very new compound.
When getting off the car, everyone, including Xiao Mo, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, he is followed by a heavyweight boss.
But to this big guy, he looked no different from an ordinary old man on the street. He even carried a basket in his hand, looking as relaxed as if he was going to the street to buy vegetables.
He seemed a little impatient and hurried in carrying the basket.
He didn't look like he was here for identification, but rather like he was rushing to the supermarket to grab discounted eggs.
The person in charge who knew the news in advance took them in. The moment they entered, Tan Hongru keenly smelled the faint fruity fragrance in the air.
Although he was the oldest, he was the first one to smell it among them.
Hearing this, he quickened his pace and the basket in his hand swayed.
Xiao Liu is no longer as nervous about his health as before, because he knows that Professor Tan's legs and feet are now agile.
He was leisurely enjoying the scenery in the orchard.
Although it is bare, it is decorated very nicely.
The thought of planting three fruit trees here makes it seem even more generous.
After arriving at the place, the person in charge turned on the light under the grape vine.
The originally large and round bunch of grapes was illuminated like amethyst, emitting a vague purple halo.
The person in charge kindly handed Tan Hongru a pair of scissors and spread a small ladder next to him on the ground to make it easier for him to pick grapes.
The joy of choosing things yourself cannot be experienced by waiting for others to deliver them to you at home.
When Xiao Mo and the others who followed approached the huge grape vine, they suddenly smelled a fresh fruity fragrance, which flowed into their hearts and made them feel refreshed.
They stood under the grape trellis and looked at the grape bunches on it, their expressions were very similar to the little foxes drooling under the grape tree a few days ago.
They are indeed very beautiful grapes, and they look even more beautiful than amethysts under the light.
But it’s not worth 300,000 yuan a string.
What does 300,000 mean? It takes an ordinary person three years’ salary, and they may not be able to save that much.
They felt that the Xiao family would not be able to escape the fine this time.
Over there, Tan Hongru was still picking grapes with great effort. He was cutting them with scissors while Xiao Liu was holding a basket to catch them. The two of them worked in perfect harmony.
"Professor, there's a bunch of purple ones over here, please come down and move the ladder."
Tan Hongru came down obediently. The person in charge helped move the ladder and he went up to reach it.
The string that Xiao Liu mentioned is indeed very good and very beautiful.
This bunch alone takes up a small half of the basket.
After it was full, he was very satisfied.
Today's trip was really a waste. He didn't know how many days he could eat these grapes.
The premise is that if no one competes with him for it.
Seeing that they had picked a whole basket full of fruits, the members of the investigation team were a little puzzled.
It turns out that so many grapes are needed for testing. If those grapes that cost 300,000 yuan a bunch are real, then there must be at least one million in this basket.
Xiao Liu carried the basket, and the two of them left the grape vines contentedly.
However, Tan Hongru did not go back. He asked the person in charge to take him to see other fruit trees here.
When he saw that there were only two fruit trees planted in such a large greenhouse, he couldn't help it.
In such a big yard, you only plant two? From a distance, they look like small noses.
It's somewhat of a waste of resources.
He found the person in charge and couldn't help asking him, "How many employees do you have in the orchard now? Why are you only planting two trees? Didn't you hire anyone?"
The person in charge said they had hired someone. "Not counting me, there are five full-time staff members. In addition, our boss has hired a professional team."
Hearing this, Tan Hongru was shocked.
Three trees, five people serving them?
If he knew that those five people had nothing to do and just sat together playing games every day, he would probably be even more shocked.
"Why don't you plant more and fill this place up?"
The person in charge shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. The boss only wanted three."
Originally, Tan Hongru's mind was full of outrageous thoughts, but after he calmed down, he figured out the reason.
By the way, it should be for the sake of Qing girl.
But it would be a shame not to plant such a large orchard fully.
After walking out of the greenhouse, he suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped, and stopped moving forward, staring at the faucet in the yard with a thoughtful look on his face.
He recalled the little dumpling's ability, having seen it once before.
When he came, he saw a river nearby. If Xiaotuanzi's ability could be integrated into water, he could easily ask someone to find a place in this orchard to dig a well!
You can't let your children raise one tree at a time. That would take a lot of energy.
Fruit trees all need watering. If the energy could be dissolved into the well water, wouldn’t that be a permanent solution?
And you can plant as much as you want at that time!
