Chapter 220 Cooperation
A few days later, the rapeseed at home was dried. Xia Shiyu first led her family to sort out the ones that were of poor quality.
Then they put it in bags and sent it to the oil press in town to have it pressed for oil.
Xia Shiyu was taken to town and found the oil press owner.
"Boss, could you press some oil for me? These are seeds from the rapeseed we grew this year."
"Okay, let me see." The boss leaned closer to take a look, then grabbed a handful of rapeseed and exclaimed in surprise.
"Your rapeseed is excellent; it will definitely yield a good oil. You can rest assured then."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Okay, how much do you want to charge?"
The boss glanced at it and said, "No need, no need. You don't have many acres of land here, so we won't charge you. However, the rapeseed cake left over from pressing the oil will belong to our factory."
Rapeseed cake can be used as animal feed or fertilizer, and it is very nutritious overall, so the oil press decided to buy it.
Xia Shiyu took a look and thought that the rapeseed cake could be used at home, either to feed chickens and ducks or for composting.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'd like half of this rapeseed cake too, but I'll just have to pay some money."
The boss was taken aback, perhaps not expecting her to want this too, since usually everyone just wanted to eat the oil.
"Okay then, just give me 200 yuan for processing fees."
They press a lot of oil here every day, and Xia Shiyu's oil is just something they do incidentally.
Xia Shiyu scanned the QR code with her WeChat and sent 200 yuan.
The boss said, "You can come and pick it up tomorrow. The machine is busy today, and we still need to process yours."
"Okay, I'll leave my phone number. Call me tomorrow if you're feeling better."
Xia Shiyu wrote down her boss's phone number before returning home.
When they got home, they found that there were unexpected visitors.
Several refined-looking elderly people sat in their courtyard, accompanied by two young men.
When they saw Xia Shiyu enter, their eyes lit up and they stood up.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Xia, the flower seller?"
Xia Shiyu looked at them and nodded, "Yes, that's me. Do you have any questions?"
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Haha, you're really young and promising."
Lin Yuan stood up and said, "Hello, young lady. We've seen the flowers you planted before, and after testing them, we found that they were very effective, so we came to find you."
Yu Juan also helped to introduce them, saying, "Xiao Yu, these are professors and students from N City University. They said they think your flowers are very good and want to study them."
Xia Shiyu thought to herself that this was a discovery of the flower's special characteristics, but she didn't expect that the professors would start studying it so quickly.
She put her things down and brought out a stool to sit down. "I see. Teachers, please sit down and let's chat."
"it is good"
As soon as he sat down, someone asked a question. Lin Yuan said, "Shi Yu, right? May I call you that? It was by chance that a friend sent over your flowers and asked me to test them. The results showed that they were very active. In particular, as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I know that the petals of your magnolia and forsythia are very effective when used to make Chinese medicine. They are even more effective than the best medicines in our hospital."
After all, apart from wild ginseng, other medicinal herbs in their hospital also need to be prepared and treated by doctors to achieve their full effect.
However, the forsythia and magnolia flowers planted by Xia Shiyu had this effect directly, which was truly amazing.
Xia Shiyu was initially a little nervous about the group of elderly professors, but she felt relieved after the system backed her up.
She explained, "Of course you can call me that. Yes, these two flowers have always had the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are much better than ordinary ones."
One of the older women couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young lady, did you know from the beginning that this flower would be so magical? Did you cultivate these seeds yourself?"
Xia Shiyu looked at the impeccably dressed old lady and shook her head, "These are items I purchased from the company; there are purchase records."
"Oh, may I ask which company it is? Is it a domestic company?"
Wu Shutong followed up with another question, saying that they had never heard of any company or research institute in China that could develop a plant with such good results.
Xia Shiyu revealed the company's name, and the elderly professors exchanged bewildered glances, as they had never heard of this Fairy Tale Seed Company.
The two young men who came with them were used to using their phones to search online, and once they found the results, they presented them to the professors.
"Teachers, look, this company is located overseas."
Yuan Zheng took it and saw that it was indeed made overseas.
Wu Shutong felt a little regretful, thinking that such a prestigious agricultural research institute was located in China, so that they could exchange ideas with each other.
At this moment, Xia Shiyu also went back to his room, found the purchase records generated by the system, and handed them to the elderly people in front of him.
"Look, this is my purchase record with this company over the past year."
The group took it and looked at it again, and found that it was indeed true.
"That's amazing! I wonder how they developed it, to discover such a wonderful crop."
"The results are really amazing. It would be even better if it could be planted on a large scale in China."
"Yeah yeah"
Xia Shiyu didn't reply to these words. Anyway, the system said it would demonstrate these things for him, so he left it to the system to handle.
Xia Shiyu thought that the group of elderly people would leave to investigate after learning this information, but unexpectedly, they turned around and talked to her about cooperation.
Wu Shutong looked at Xia Shiyu with a kind expression, "Xiaoyu, we understand the situation, but the results here are really too good. Let me explain the situation to you. I am from the city's agricultural college."
"They're all fine, but I'm very interested in your crops, so I might come and bother you from time to time. I also hope you can reserve some of your crops for us. Of course, we'll pay the normal price."
Lin Yuan shook his head, "Hey, you can't say that. I need it too. I think these crops are perfect for food therapy, especially since I heard that the grapes you grow, Xiao Yu, can help with sleep."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "That's right. That batch of grapes was mainly sold to insomnia patients before, and it did have that effect."
The others, including the two young people, were also amazed when they heard this. How amazing! It's wonderful to think that some of the diseases we encounter in life can be solved by eating.
Yuan Zheng's curiosity was piqued. Although he wasn't in the same research field as the others, he was still very curious about these things. He even thought that even if he didn't study them, eating them would be very effective.
He added, "Xiao Yu, I'll take it too. I'll trouble you to sell it to us old folks first."
"Of course, no problem," Xia Shiyu was happy to serve these professors who dedicated themselves to the country and the people.
After finalizing the cooperation, the elderly people left with the students, taking some crops with them as well.
After seeing the elderly off, Xia Shiyu and the others shook their heads and told their families that they would deliver the rapeseed themselves.
"We can pick up our new rapeseed oil the day after tomorrow, and then we can eat good food."
"Also, chili seeds need to be cultivated into seedlings."
Xia Shiyu showed off the chili seeds in her hand, and her family members all nodded in approval.
The family all nodded, "Okay, let's switch to this kind of chili pepper this year and give it a new flavor."
