Chapter 57 fish and bait

"Hujia Noodles" later became a serialized product, mainly due to one person. This person was specially invited by Hu Tiancheng from the province. This person's surname is Dong, and his name is Dong Xuelin. He is a professor at the Provincial Grain College and studies biology.People call him Professor Dong.Professor Dong is tall and thin, with narrow eyes, a red garlic nose, and a pair of broken glasses with thin legs.This Professor Dong is from the south, and he speaks quite loudly. His family is not well-to-do, but he has a great style.When Hu Tiancheng came to invite him for the first time, he immediately refused, saying: "Where is Hujiabao? Is that a place for biological sciences? Just kidding!" The second time, it was Qiu Jianwei who accompanied Hu Tiancheng They went together and brought a letter from the leader of the provincial party committee, so Professor Dong became more polite.He kept saying: "Director Qiu is here. If there is anything else to say, I'll go!" But when it came to specific matters, he still said coyly: "Well, well. According to regulations, the courtyard There is a fee." Hu Tiancheng smiled, and he said: "Yes, yes." Then, Professor Dong said: "I personally have nothing to do. In the courtyard, the fee is charged by the hour, just like a class." Qiu Jianwei said with a smile: "Old Dong, don't worry. I'll greet you in the courtyard." Hu Tiancheng also said: "Don't worry, Hujiabao will not lose you."

So, this Professor Dong came to Hujiapu. When he first came, Professor Dong was very stubborn and never allowed anyone to refute his opinions.He always puts his hands on the short hair on his head, shakes his head, doesn't look good here, doesn't look good there, and expresses his opinions everywhere, always saying, this, this, you should do this, you It should be like that... As soon as he said it, people had to change according to his opinion, which made the village cadres at a loss for a while. Someone came to Hu Tiancheng, and Hu Tiancheng said: "You can listen to what he says."

But as for this Professor Dong, on the third day of his stay, he boasted rashly, saying that he would introduce one of his food preservation techniques to Hujiapu, which would triple Hujiapu's income!He said, it's very simple.But for this "very simple" question, the construction of the laboratory alone cost Hujiapu 1 million! However, Hu Tiancheng still said: do as he says! However, time passed day by day, and with his insistence, the machines and equipment needed to be purchased were already in place (that was a huge sum of money), however, the "very simple problem" mentioned by Professor Dong was still "Donkey egg" hanging.It is the "very simple" problem he said, but it has not been solved.Everyone knows that if this problem cannot be solved, the one million Hujiapu invested in the laboratory at the beginning will be wasted...

It was one afternoon three months later. Professor Dong, who always held his head up, suddenly lowered his head.He first went to the toilet to urinate, and muttered, "You have to run so far to urinate, it's too shameful!" Everything was swept on the ground, and there was a crackling sound in the room!He lost his temper first, then, like a madman, paced up and down the room, and finally, with a sudden shake of his hand, he said irritably: "I can't do it, I can't do it! I'm going." , I'll go!" Saying that, she stood up and was about to leave. At this time, the two young men who accompanied him were terrified!Hurry to ask Hu Tiancheng for instructions.Hu Tiancheng hurried to Lao Dong's laboratory.

Hu Tiancheng glanced at him and said, "Old Dong, I heard you are leaving?" Professor Dong said embarrassingly: "Old Hu, I didn't make it for you, so I'll go. Anyway, I haven't received a penny from Hujiabao until now. These days, it's considered that I have done my duty in vain." Hu Tiancheng looked at him and suddenly smiled.He smiled and said, "Where did this go? I invited you here to help us in Hujiapu. Even if it doesn't work out, I won't blame you. Don't panic." Professor Dong sighed, scratched his head, and said in frustration: "I'd better go, it seems that I don't have this ability, I really don't have this ability..."

Hu Tiancheng said: "It's true that this thing is not easy to handle. It can't be said that you don't have this ability. How about it, don't panic, rest for two days, play with it before leaving." Professor Dong said impatiently: "I'll go, I'll go. I won't be here for a day!" Hu Tiancheng looked at him silently, and after a while, asked: "Is there anything else at home?" At this time, Professor Dong lowered his head, hesitated for a long while, and then said hesitantly: "This, this... nothing, nothing, but, old man, to tell you the truth, the courtyard is about to be divided into rooms. I am here Outside, this, this..."

Hu Tiancheng thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Old Dong, you have been out for so many days, since you insist on going back to have a look, go back and have a look." Then, Hu Tiancheng turned his head and whispered instructions to the accountant After a few words, the accountant hurried away.After a while, the accountant brought a wad of money. Hu Tiancheng said: "Old Dong, it's really not easy for you to stay in Hujiabao these days. This ten thousand yuan can be regarded as Hujiabao's condolences to you." The 10,000 yuan was placed in front of Lao Dong's eyes, and Lao Dong didn't expect Hu Tiancheng to give him the money.For a moment, Professor Dong blushed and looked very embarrassed.Old Dong blushed nonchalantly and said: "This, this is not good, is it? No, isn't it... five or five thousand? Besides, I, I, I... didn't make anything."

Hu Tiancheng patted him and said: "Take it, the money is not much, it means something. Although it didn't work out, Hujiapu will not forget you. Let's see it this way, tonight, let's chat, tomorrow, I'll send a car to take you back. The house is a big deal, and it's right for you to go back. " That night, Hu Tiancheng ordered some side dishes and a bottle of Moutai, and the two chatted while drinking.Professor Dong felt a little ashamed in his heart, he couldn't hold his head up anymore, and he didn't have the confidence to speak, he said: "Old man, look, this and this didn't work out...I'm sorry for you." Hu Tiancheng said: "Professor Dong, you can't say that. You can come to Hujiapu, which is already very interesting. The days are still long. Come, let me offer you a toast." Too much, Professor Dong got drunk after drinking.Drunk old Dong cried and said: "Old ho, you don't know? I am a rightist. Just because of this project, I said that I opposed 'Michurin', and I became a rightist. I have been reformed through labor for 20 years. For many years. At that time, no one regarded me as a human being. The discipline said, squat down. I have to squat there. The discipline said, kneel. I have to kneel there. I even lay on the ground like a dog barking... Now that I've been rehabilitated, I don't know anything anymore. I only have this project in hand. If this project doesn't work out, I'll be at a loss!" As he spoke, he became drunk and cried loudly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Hu Tiancheng sent a car to take him back.When saying goodbye, Professor Dong said repeatedly: "Ashamed, ashamed." Unexpectedly, when Professor Dong returned home, the keys to a new house with three bedrooms and one living room had already been delivered to Professor Dong's wife!And specifically stated that this house was awarded to Professor Dong by Hujiabao's "award"... Professor Dong returned home for only one night (that night was in full swing), and the next day he returned to Hujiapu again.This new house is too hot!At that time, this suite was worth 150,000 yuan. At that time, this was a huge sum!It was this number that knocked Professor Dong down at once.On the day Professor Dong returned to Hujiapu, he said to Hu Tiancheng: "Old Hu, if I can't do it, I will be the grandson of Hujiapu!"

Then, summer passed, and autumn passed.This time, back and forth, Hujiabao invested another one million for Professor Dong's experiment!Naturally, the past six months were like worshiping the "God". Professor Dong gave him whatever he wanted to eat, and there was wine and meat every day. I heard that Dong liked to drink Shaoxing Laojiao, so I sent someone to the south to buy two boxes.As for Professor Dong, he seemed to be a different person. He spoke softly, and he no longer had the arrogance he used to. However, until the end of the new year, the pale-faced Professor Dong staggered out of the laboratory. His whole body seemed to collapse, his waist was bowed, and he couldn't even stand firmly. "Plop" knelt down on the ground and murmured to Hu Tiancheng, "Old Huwa, I am incompetent, I admit that I am incompetent. I am the grandson, I am the grandson of Hujiapu!"

Hu Tiancheng was startled, and then his face sank, but he turned around and smiled again.He stepped forward, helped him up, laughed and said, "Old Dong, old Dong, don't do this, don't do this. As I said, I will never blame you if it doesn't work." That night, Hu Tiancheng served Professor Dong another drink to surprise him.This time, Professor Dong cried again while drinking.With tears in his eyes, he said to Hu Tiancheng: "Old Hu, I'm sorry for you. I'll go back and think about it, and I will come if I can find a way. I will definitely come..." Hu Tiancheng cheered up and said: "Professor Dong, don't be sad, it's nothing. You are welcome to come to Hujiabao anytime." Then, he asked someone to give the prepared 30,000 yuan to Professor Dong.This time, Professor Dong's head was hooked like a chicken with a broken neck, and he never dared to take money.Looking at the money, Professor Dong's hands trembled!He shook his hands and said: "No, no, no! Lao Hu, you are scolding me. This, this, I can't take any more..." Hu Tiancheng said: "Take it, you must take it, if you don't take it , just look down on Hujiabao!" The next day, Hu Tiancheng sent another car to send away the "repeatedly defeated" Professor Dong... By this time, only one item of experimental expenses in Hujiabao had been spent, more than two million yuan.There was also public opinion in the village, and of course no one dared to criticize Hu Tiancheng.People say that this surnamed Dong has strangely combed hair and is a liar!Total liar!Behold, he will never come again... In the village street, someone stopped Hu Tiancheng and said, "Old Hu, this man is a liar, we can't deal with him anymore!" Hu Tiancheng smiled and said nothing. While walking, someone said to Hu Tiancheng again: "Old Hu, that man is a liar! He's trying to catch us..." Hu Tiancheng glanced at him, smiled and said, "We are fish, let him fish." When the third person said this, Hu Tiancheng's face suddenly darkened.He said with a dark face: "Don't say it again. You can say this sentence after I die!" Since then, no one dared to say anything. It was a sweltering summer. In that summer, Hu Tiancheng held three consecutive village meetings. At the meeting, he said loudly: "If you want to be a fish, raise your hand!" In the entire venue, the crowd was dense, but no one raised their hands... Hu Tiancheng said: "No one wants to be a fish? No one wants to be me." After speaking, he raised his hand alone, and then said: "What's wrong with being a fish? Isn't it just a little bit of a loss." After a while, Hu Tiancheng said with a sullen face: "I said that the old director will come back, do you believe it?!" Still no one said anything. Hu Tiancheng patted the table with a "slap", and said loudly again: "Believe it or not?!" Everyone had to say: "Believe it!" At this time, Hu Tiancheng said: "I know you don't believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you are allowed to believe it or not. Let me ask again, believe it or not?!" At this time, everyone shouted in unison: "Letter!" In the summer of this year, Hu Tiancheng once again sent someone to "consolate" Professor Dong.At this time, Professor Dong still didn't think of a solution, he was just worried about his child again, because his youngest son failed the college entrance examination... So, Hu Tiancheng said a word, and Hujiabao took out another 50,000 yuan, "Sponsored" a key university in the provincial capital, so that his son became a day student in the provincial key university.So, in autumn, Professor Dong came to Hujiapu for the third time in desperation.This time, he came with a blanket on his back.He told people that if it doesn't work out this time, I'll just die here.So, as soon as he entered the village, he went straight into the dusty laboratory... The days passed like this.When the autumn leaves were falling, this Professor Dong finally walked out of the laboratory.He stood there for a long time before opening his eyes and looking at the high blue sky.Then, he adjusted his glasses, breathed out, and said silently: "It's done, I've done it. I've finally done it!" At noon that day, Professor Dong was very excited, and he drank more, some wine. At the banquet, his head was raised again, and he danced and danced, his face was flushed from drinking, and he talked a lot.Later, with the power of drinking, he said: "Old Huwa, I finally managed this project for you, and it is worthy of Hujiapu. Is this going to work? Aren't many places trying to implement the joint-stock system now? Do you understand the joint-stock system? ... Oh, oh. Well, well, I hope to cooperate with Hujiapu for a long time. I have other projects, and I want to cooperate with Hujiapu for a long time! Look, how about I take this project as a technology stake? " Hu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Professor Dong said very excitedly: "Well, I know that Hujiapu treats me well. But this, technology is also a kind of capital, and it can also be invested." Hu Tiancheng smiled, and he said with a smile: "Yes, you can consider it, you can come up with a plan." So, that night, Professor Dong left the laboratory and was invited to live in a high-class guest room in Hujiabao. It was a very luxurious suite. People said that this suite was visited by provincial leaders. Only then was he allowed to live.And said, Huber said, let him have a good rest.Professor Dong looked around and said proudly: "It's good, it's good." At night, Professor Dong took a hot bath comfortably, lay on the soft Simmons bed, and had a good sleep. In his dream, he even dreamed that his "shares" had turned into colorful bills... The next morning, when Professor Dong had had breakfast and excitedly approached Hu Tiancheng to talk about investing in technology, someone told him that Hu Tiancheng was not at home and had gone to the county for a meeting. However, at the same moment, in that thatched hut, Hu Tiancheng said to Gen Bao: "For this person, Hujiabao has done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness. But he is greedy! Gen Bao, remember, I will never see you again." him." Professor Dong waited foolishly for three days in that senior room.It wasn't until the fourth day that he remembered to get his notebook.When he hurried to the laboratory to find his notebook, he found that the laboratory had been emptied and there was nothing in the room.Those data, as well as the two students he trained were gone.He stood there in a daze, feeling that it was not the place, and looked around again, but he could no longer find his laboratory... When he went back to look for Hu Tiancheng again, Genbao told him that Hu Tiancheng I went to Beijing, and I don't know when I can come back, so you should go back first. Professor Dong didn't leave, so he just stayed in that high-class room and waited for ten days, but Hu Tiancheng still didn't "come back".In the end, he reluctantly left with the bedding on his back. When he left, no one saw him off. Later, Professor Dong couldn't figure it out. He thought, how could I be defeated by a farmer...
