Chapter 237 Waiting for that Day
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yuan?"
Li Yihe looked at Yuan Hongyi cautiously, with a little tentativeness in her tone.
Yuan Hongyi smiled at Li Yihe's expression, "Hello, little girl, I am Yuan Hongyi."
"Wow! It's really Mr. Yuan!" After getting a positive reply, Li Yihe jumped up excitedly.
Yuan Hongyi is her idol. She chose to engage in agricultural research because of her admiration for Yuan Hongyi. Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, she used Yuan Hongyi as a goal to motivate herself to work hard. Unexpectedly, Yuan Hongyi, who was as far away as an idol to her before the outbreak of the apocalypse, is standing in front of her at this moment.
And Mr. Yuan is smiling at her.
Sure enough, Mr. Yuan is as easy-going as the outside world says.
"Mr. Yuan is the head of the research team sent by the government. You will have a lot of time to spend together in the future." Song Chen looked at Li Yihe with a smile, "You can study hard with Mr. Yuan in the future."
"Of course!" Li Yihe nodded seriously.
Before the apocalypse, her dream was to become Yuan Hongyi's apprentice, but unfortunately Yuan Hongyi had stopped accepting apprentices due to his advanced age.
But who would have thought that her dream would come true after the apocalypse? !
Seeing Li Yihe's happy look as if she was dreaming, Song Chen felt a little funny.
After spending some time together, he also knew that Li Yihe's idol was Yuan Hongyi, and wanted to make her happy, so he brought everyone here directly.
But I didn't expect Li Yihe to be so happy.
"Mr. Yuan, please come and sit here."
Li Yihe led Yuan Hongyi to the pavilion, and picked a few bunches of grapes from the vines, washed them with water, and handed them to Yuan Hongyi.
"Mr. Yuan, please try these grapes, they are sweet and juicy, and especially delicious!"
The vines wrapped around the pavilion above his head trembled slightly, and it was not known whether they agreed with Li Yihe's words or felt sorry for their own fruits.
Yuan Hongyi and others looked at the bunches of grapes in front of them. Each of them was full and large in size. Even before the outbreak of the apocalypse, they were of high quality. Not to mention that now that ordinary people can't even eat, seeing fresh grapes is simply a scene that only appears in dreams.
"Gudong!"
I don't know who swallowed hard, and it was clearly audible in the extremely quiet atmosphere at this moment.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you.
No one dared to believe that the grapes in front of them were really the grapes in their memories, let alone reaching out to take them.
Such a precious thing, can they really eat it?
Seeing that everyone wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat, Song Chen said with some amusement: "These are all grapes produced by our own family. Don't be polite, just eat as much as you want."
As soon as the voice fell, the grape vines shook more violently, as if making a silent protest.
But no one paid attention to it. Song Chen and Li Yihe looked at everyone with a smile, and the latter's attention was all focused on the beautiful grapes in front of them.
Xuanyunduo looked at the grapes in front of her, then turned to look at Yuan Hongyi beside her, and finally swallowed her saliva.
Grapes are her favorite fruit.
But after the outbreak of the apocalypse, fruits are too precious.
Most of the survivors can't even eat a meal, let alone fruits, and they have never even seen them.
The most important thing is.
These freshly picked grapes have extraordinary research value.
Now most of the vegetation has died, and this growing grapevine is even more precious than a national treasure, not to mention the fruits it bears, which must be taken back to the laboratory for careful research.
But the young base commander in front of him actually took out such precious fruits for them to eat, which is simply a waste of natural resources!
Just when everyone was drooling with greed, Yuan Hongyi suddenly picked a grape and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm..."
"It is indeed full, sweet and juicy, and it is just as written in the report, and I feel full of strength in my body."
Yuan Hongyi savored the taste and texture of the grapes carefully, and was still analyzing the changes in his body after eating the grapes. In the end, he found that it was just as described in the report submitted by Song Chen.
Since he is an ordinary person without awakened superpowers, he doesn't know what superpowers feel after eating, but as an ordinary person, he really feels that the power in his body is more abundant, and even his body with many old problems accumulated after years of hard work feels a little easier.
This feeling made him suddenly feel as if he suddenly became several years younger.
"Why are you just looking at me? Eat! This is what Mr. Song invited us to eat."
Yuan Hongyi looked up and saw that the others were staring at him with big eyes, swallowing saliva greedily, with envy on his face, and he couldn't help but speak.
"But..." Xuanyunduo looked at the grapes in front of him and whispered, "This is a precious fruit..."
"Yes! Let's study this fruit! This way we can maximize its value. It doesn't matter whether we eat it or not." Mengzhe also echoed.
Looking at the few people who looked at the grapes eagerly but didn't dare to reach out, Yuan Hongyi picked a grape and stuffed it directly into their hands.
"Eat it if you want! As long as we work hard to uncover the growth principle of mutant plants and improve the seeds, we can eat as much fruit as we want that day, and not just grapes, cherries, apples, bananas, we can eat whatever we want!"
Listening to Yuan Hongyi's confident tone, the others suddenly understood.
Yes!
As long as they successfully research and improve the seeds, they can continue to plant crops.
Not to mention these grapes, even if they want to eat rice, they can do it!
After figuring it out, the others threw the grapes into their mouths and tasted them carefully.
"Wow... I can't remember the last time I ate grapes." Xuanyunduo's eyes were red and tears filled her eyes, "Mr. Song, what method did you use to cultivate them? Why are these grapes so delicious?!"
Xuyunduo sobbed and carefully stuffed grapes into her mouth.
Mom, she finally ate grapes again!
The others also held the grapes and tasted them carefully.
Fruits are so precious now that they have to chew them several times to savor the flavor.
Seeing this, Yuan Hongyi smiled and threw another grape into his mouth, saying, "Eat it, but don't forget to write a report and hand it in when you go back."
Everyone: "..."
It seems that the grape was swallowed a little too quickly just now. What did it taste like?
Seeing everyone looking like they were tasting some rare food, Song Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't be so reserved. There are a lot of grapes. If there are not enough, just pick more."
"No, no, no." Yuan Hongyi waved his hand quickly, "We are already very satisfied to eat these grapes, and the rest should be kept for research!"
Song Chen smiled when he heard this and said a bombshell news that shocked everyone present.
"It doesn't matter. This grape vine can produce two bunches of grapes every day. Eat as much as you want."
"What?!"
