Xuanwei County Office in Kunming City.

This is a courtyard located on the back street, except for a wooden plaque at the door, there are few official signs to prove its identity.

In Yang Rui's view, this place is no different from the car wash in the suburbs of later generations.

However, if you use your sense of smell instead of vision, you will be able to smell a not strong, but extremely delicious smell.

"Xuanwei ham, stir-fried is fragrant in a room, and stewed is fragrant in a hundred meters." Kang Hong's monkey head squirmed twice, and said: "The office in Xuanwei County is very popular. They are all cooking ham, if you come late, you won’t be able to eat it, let’s come early so we can eat the first dish.”

If important cadres from the provincial government or the city government came, it would naturally not be too late, but Kang Hong's relationship was not so strong.

Despite this, Kang Hong still invited the masters from the office.

After a while, a whole strip of ham stewed in clear water was brought up.

Kang Hong pointed to the big ham made from a whole pork leg, and introduced with great interest: "The most delicious part of Xuanwei ham is the top, which is this piece, followed by the Chinese side... the oil head is the worst part, if you smell it If it smells bad, it should be cut up and thrown away, this piece has been stewed for several hours, it is very ripe, let’s shake it out and taste some in each place.”

The first thing that comes out of the ham is the tempting aroma, and then, the master chef cuts open the whole ham on the spot, takes the top, the middle, the slice is as thin as a cicada's wing, almost translucent, and puts it on a bright white porcelain plate Spread out one word...

"Ham must be cut into thin slices, cut across the fiber of the meat, and cut off the fiber, otherwise the meat will feel old and clogged." Kang Hong introduced it with seriousness.

The master chef who sliced ​​ham also smiled and said: "We have foreigners who bought ham back here. In order to satisfy their gluttony, they cut it into large pieces like braised pork, or thick slices. When they came back, they said that the meat is so old and not good. Eat, let me say, you are wasting our good ham, you should try it first."

Yang Rui didn't use chopsticks either, so he picked up a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth.

After chewing for a while, there is a faint fragrance in the mouth, and the salty fragrance from the pickling immediately makes the mouth salivate.

"Delicious." Yang Rui raised his thumb.

Li Zhangzhen also said with a big tongue: ",!"

Li Zhangzhen, Liu Shan, He Quangui and Sun Ruyue also came together. He Quangui is a senior this year,

It has been confirmed that they will be assigned to the Beijing Institute of Biological Products, and they have more free time. They will travel with Yang Rui, but they don't know that Yang Rui has already dug a hole and is waiting for them to work. Sun Ruyue, a sophomore, is young and strong. He is responsible for running errands and carrying luggage.

Li Zhangzhen's identity as a Hong Kong citizen is very convenient. He is now more like Yang Rui's assistant, and he himself quite likes this position. After all, although the working conditions in mainland China are poor, Yang Rui's salary is at a premium. The most important thing is The most amazing thing is that today's Beijing costs very little, allowing Li Zhangzhen to save money to buy a house for his son and daughter to study.

The master was very happy when he heard the praise from the big tongue, let go of Yang Rui, and smiled at Li Zhangzhen: "It has always been our Xuanwei people's wish to let Hong Kong and Macao compatriots eat authentic Xuanwei ham, please wait a moment, I Another one for you."

He chopped it down with a knife, pulled the ham apart, cut a bright red rectangle out of it, and peeled off the skin.

This time, it was actually thinner than before, especially the leather part, which was almost as translucent as resin.

The master handed the blade to Li Zhangzhen and said, "Just eat like this."

Li Zhangzhen grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded repeatedly, unable to utter a word.

"Yang Rui, try it too." Kang Hong finally knew who was the real master.

"Another piece?" The master first greeted the compatriots in Hong Kong.

Li Zhangzhen wanted to nod, but worried that Yang Rui would be unhappy, so he pretended to hold up the water glass and said, "I'll wait a while."

The master smiled slightly like a river god, and sliced ​​it to Yang Rui again.

The extremely thin ham seems to have only one cell in one layer. The first time it is chewed, it bursts out with a rich aroma, and the taste layer seems to be richer.

After Yang Rui swallowed it, he immediately asked, "Can I buy two to take with me when I leave?"

"Others can't, but you can." Kang Hong smiled as if he had guessed it early.

"Is the output not high?" Yang Rui asked doubtfully.

The master looked at Yang Rui strangely, and said: "Our Xuanwei ham is purchased and sold by the state. Professor Kang cooperates with our factory, so we can only get a few hams a year."

Suddenly, Yang Rui said embarrassedly: "I forgot about this, so I'll just take one."

"It's okay, I still can't afford two hams." Kang Hong waved his hands and said, "What I'm helping them do now is improve the pig breeds. When the production increases, I'll ask someone to bring them to you."

"Improving pig breeds means that the current pigs are no longer used? Is it still Xuanwei ham?" Yang Rui always felt wrong.

"There is no way. The local birds and pigs grow too slowly. Farmers are unwilling to raise them, and the meat-to-feed ratio is also low. There is no way to improve them. I also drove ducks to the shelves, and I was arrested because I was a student of biology." Kang Hong looked helpless.

Yang Rui frowned and said, "Doesn't foreign countries pay attention to the protection of origin? Such a famous product should keep the status quo."

"Keep the status quo, and the factory will be wiped out." The master chef said dissatisfiedly: "The local farmers have started to raise foreign pigs. If we don't improve, there may be no Xuanwei ham in the future."

"Foreign pigs can't be used to make Xuanwei ham, right? The price of pigs for ham should be higher."

Kang Hong coughed lightly, and said, "The state's unified purchase and sales are not what the factory decides."

"Then the improved pig breed, what should it be changed into?"

"Use American Duroc pigs as the male parent, and local black pigs as the female parent. In addition, we also try to use landrace pigs and black pigs to crossbreed. From the current point of view, these two types are the most suitable."

"So, in the future, you won't be able to eat pure black pig Xuanwei ham?"

"I can't do without changing it. We also made a comparison and tried to keep the original taste of Xuanwei ham."

"A request from the local government?"

"more or less."

Yang Rui curled his lips and said, "I still want two hams, while it's still authentic."

Kang Hong laughed and agreed.

...

After three days in Kunming, Yang Rui felt that the time was almost up, so he took everyone to Tengchong and announced his goal: "We will soak in hot springs. In addition, let's investigate a few hot springs to see if we can isolate several unknown microorganisms." .”

Unknown animals or unknown creatures sound amazing. In fact, countless new species are announced every year, which is not uncommon. Unless there are revolutionary species appearing, the scientific research value of discovering new species is a bit higher than middle school scientific exploration.

Because of this, biologists are not active in discovering new species. There are already enough species on earth, and it is impossible to study them all. In fact, human beings alone have been unable to understand for many generations. Letting a veterinarian solve all animal problems is nothing more than a good wish.

However, there is a slight exception for microorganisms in extreme environments, because extreme environments have limits. Thermophilic bacteria growing in 50-degree hot springs have completely different meanings from thermophilic bacteria growing in 80-degree water.

If biologists in later generations discover that microorganisms can survive at high temperatures of several hundred degrees, then its research value will be even greater.

Wei Zhenxue and others knew that Yang Rui was not just playing around, so they nodded as expected.

Liu Shan didn't know what it was like to soak in hot springs. After asking, she blushed and said, "I choose to do research."

"Soaking in hot springs does not conflict with doing research. Hot springs are similar to swimming, except that you don't need to wear swimming goggles, you can wear a swimsuit. You can decide when you go. If you don't want to go to hot springs, you can just do research." Yang Rui explained casually, the truth To be honest.

Liu Shan responded weakly with an "oh". She still trusts Yang Rui quite a lot. We are classmates, fellow villagers, and members of the Ruixue Group. Although Liu Shan still doesn't understand the nature of the Ruixue Group, it doesn't hinder her trust in Yang Rui.

This kind of trust still has a feeling of inexplicable reason.

Being away from home, Liu Shan is more willing to get close to Yang Rui and let Yang Rui make the decision.
