Chapter Thirty-One: Investigating the Vegetable Garden

  The ligament has not healed yet, and the doctor said that I need to rest. But during this period, Xiaochao will work hard to update and write articles to repay everyone's support for Xiaochao!

  ====================

  "Damn it..." Otsu Yunosuke struggled to get up, supporting his head that was about to burst. He vaguely remembered vomiting at the banquet and then he didn't know anything else.

  Otsu Yurushi made an effort to sober up a bit, opening his eyes to take a look around. The simple and even austere desk chair, the bed with mosquito netting still hanging from it, and the shelf by the desk with a washbasin on it... This was not an environment he was familiar with, but after making an effort to think back, he finally remembered.

  It wasn't in the imperial capital of China that he had his office, but rather on the island of Qiong. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but smile wryly, yesterday's battle was too intense...

  "Knock knock knock..." Just then, the knocking sound started. Then someone outside the door said in Japanese, "Otsu-san, are you up yet?!"

  "I'm already up, come in." Otsu Yushin said deeply, facing the outside of the door.

  "Hai...... But this door needs you to open it from the inside..." Otsu Yuno was taken aback by his words, and then walked to the front of the door with a bitter smile.

  This type of lock is rarely seen in Japan, but it's still popular in China. It's a kind of lock that can be locked from the inside of the door and cannot be opened from the outside.

  Otsu Yuka heard this and could only stand up reluctantly to go open the door. When she opened the door, it was her own invited agricultural expert, Oshima Tsu.

  "Oshima, what happened yesterday after I passed out?!" Otsu Yunosuke knocked his own head with a bitter smile and said: "I was already drunk at that time, almost nothing is remembered..."

  "After you got drunk last night, we had a fight with the Chinese side." Daishima said after organizing his words.

  "Hmm... we all got drunk later, you and that county official from China after getting drunk. We also got drunk..." Oshima's face was slightly flushed as he said: "At least in terms of drinking, we lost..."

  It's a bit strange to say, but if they lose in drinking, the Japanese will show extreme humility. In fact, it's not just about drinking. In any aspect where they lose, they will show great modesty.

  But if they win, they will also be incredibly arrogant.

  "Alright, let's not mention this again." Otsu Yoshie, seemingly also somewhat uncomfortable, said with a slightly strange expression: "This time we came over to investigate the vegetable planting situation. For us, what's important is whether their farming and agricultural products are suitable for sale in Japan as Mr. Nelson said."

  "If possible, we can consider selling these agricultural products in Japan." After a pause, Otsu Yosuke said: "Firstly, this is to open up a business for the company, and secondly, it is also to deepen cooperation with China. Two birds with one stone!"

  "Hai! Mr. Otsu's words are indeed correct, I'll go inform everyone to get ready!" However, Dajima stood up and bowed deeply towards Otsu Osamu, saying: "In a moment, we will carefully observe those crops."

  "Alright... go!"

  At this time, Liang Sanping was already waiting for Daijin Rong and others on the first floor of the reception building. Due to yesterday's chaos, whether it was people from Bao Ting County or Jiang Hai Farm, almost everyone got drunk.

  So early in the morning, basically no one could get out of bed. And when Otsu Yorozu and others went downstairs, they saw Liang Sanping smiling.

  "Mr. Otsu, how was your rest yesterday?" Liang Sanping asked with a smile, but in fact he still felt quite pleased that Xing Cheng'an and others had been severely reprimanded by Otsu Yon.

  Otsu Yū didn't say it outright, but his attitude towards Americans and Chinese was clearly vastly different. This made Liāng Sān Píng feel very uncomfortable, so he was delighted to see Xíng Chéng'ān and others getting Otsu Yū drunk.

  "It's alright, thanks for your concern." Otsu Yūjin saw the spirited Nelson beside Ryō Sanpei and cursed in his heart. Only then did he come to a realization - yesterday, Nelson must have been faking drunkenness.

  Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a good spirit today. Indeed, Nelson was pretending to be drunk. Nelson is not as stupid as Otsu Yūji, who only knows how to fight desperately. Moreover, when he just got off the car, he was quietly pulled by Ryō Sanpei and instructed for a while.

  He had barely escaped Xing Cheng'an's wine table assassination plot and was still spirited today.

  "Mr. Otsu, let's have breakfast first!" However, Liang Sanping smiled and said: "Then we will go to visit our plantation base."

  "Alright, thank you......" Otsu Yū nodded and gave a slight bow to Ryō Sanpei.

  Breakfast was simple, and it's hard to get a complex breakfast in a small place like Bao Ting County these days. It was just a bowl of rice noodles, with some scallions sprinkled on top at most.

  As for this breakfast, Otsu and his friends were quite satisfied. They had a big drink last night, so now they are eating something light which is just what they wanted.

  After hastily finishing breakfast, Liang Sanping led the way to the cultivated land allocated to them by Jianghai Farm.

  Although there are jeeps that can take everyone over, those non-military highways are even worse than the sandy and stony military highways. They're all dirt roads.

  Normally it doesn't rain and the dust flies everywhere, basically people walking by get a whole body of yellow dust. If it rains, it's even more miserable, and it's hard to walk by.

  After eating a whole road of yellow mud, Da Jin Yun and others who had just eaten breakfast with gray heads and dirty faces finally arrived at the edge of Jiaolin. Liang Sanping smiled and told them that they still had to walk for a while after getting off the bus, and their faces finally looked a bit ugly.

  It's okay if it's usually like this, but I had a drink yesterday and I'm still hurting now. I just filled my stomach with breakfast, and now I have to walk again?!

  "Let's go, it's not that far." Nelson actually thought it was quite interesting. He had gone on many hikes when he studied in the United States. Compared to taking a car, he preferred walking like this.

  Otsu Yuzuru and Nelson finally spoke up, but their faces didn't look too good as they followed along.

  Fortunately, the distance from here to the plantation base is not far. After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a large piece of continuous vegetable field. However, on that entire piece of land that needs to stretch its neck to see the end, countless people wearing blue work uniforms are busy.

  "This land is at least fifty mu..." On the side of Otsu Yosuke, Oshima glanced around and asked in a low voice, looking at Otsu Yosuke with questioning eyes.

  "I just grabbed a handful of the soil here to take a look, and I'd say the soil quality is just average. The fertility is relatively sufficient, but not very thick. If you're planning to plant vegetables on a large scale, you'll need to add more fertilizer..."

  Otsu Yū nodded silently and stopped speaking. As they arrived at the field, the Japanese began to enter a state of work. They started carefully observing the situation around this planted area.

  Some people crouched down to grab the soil and take a look, while others walked quickly into the planted vegetables to take a look. Some also began to notice the surrounding piles of farm manure.

  "Haha... Mr. Otsu Yū, welcome to visit and inspect!" At this time, however, Professor Liu, wearing a blue work uniform, walked towards Otsu Yū with a smile: "This is my planting base, it's also where we work!"

  "It's an honor, Professor Liu!" However, Omiya saw that he was still very respectful to the old professor. He bowed deeply and shook hands with Professor Liu, saying: "I'm sorry to trouble you..."

  "Haha... no need to be polite, let's go ahead with the tour!" Professor Liu smiled and said to Otsu Yuno: "I'll explain everything to you, if you have any questions just ask me directly..."

  "Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you..." Otsu Jun bowed deeply and said. He then gave a signal with his eyes to the Japanese personnel who had come to inspect with him.

  But then these people immediately dispersed and began a thorough investigation of this plantation.

  The clods of earth in the vegetable garden were picked up, and these Japanese people even carefully sniffed the smell on top. The fermented farm manure was also opened to take a look, and even wore plastic gloves to grab a handful to take a closer look.

  The tender shoots of cucumber were carefully observed, and even after asking the translator, some were pinched off, sniffed, and put in mouth to chew...

  "Excuse me, Professor Liu, how large is this vegetable garden?" Otsu Yuno didn't go to check in detail, but he quickly started chatting with Professor Liu about the situation here.

  "There are 50 mu in total here, and if necessary, we can further expand the planting area. Professor Liu smiled and said: "Of course, for now, I need to know your intention to cooperate and sales ability."

  "It depends on the quality of your vegetables, Professor." Otsu Yunosuke replied calmly: "If the quality of your vegetables meets our requirements, then there is no doubt that our sales will increase greatly."

  "On the contrary, if your vegetable quality is not satisfactory. Then we can only be more cautious in cooperation." Daishin's words made Professor Liu laugh.

  "It's a donkey or a horse that pulls out the slippery one, good or bad just take a look." Professor Liu smiled and said, "We'll see!"

  At this time, the Japanese who were on-site investigation began to return one after another to Otsu Yū's side. And in everyone's eyes, excitement that couldn't be suppressed was revealed.

  It is clear that the vegetables and planting conditions here fully meet their requirements.

  "Professor Liu, may I ask if the additional fertilizer you use contains any chemical components?" Oshima asked after whispering a few words to Okitsumo and then bowing to Professor Liu.

  "There are some compound fertilizers, but the proportion is very low." However, Professor Liu smiled and said: "Our main source of fertilizer is..."

  "It's cow dung, Professor Liu." But then Oshima bowed deeply and said: "Moreover, the fertilizer effect of the cow dung you used is very strong. The land which was not originally fertile has become extremely effective after using the cow dung and compound fertilizer.
