Chapter 220 The Power of Ketchup

“Little Lin, A’hu, one plate of stewed steamed buns and two plates of tomato sauce for each table.” In the kitchen, Su Zhenhong commanded.

“OK.” Su Xiaolin, Su Hu, and others nodded and went out with braised steamed buns and tomato sauce.

“Grandpa, uncle, I also want to eat braised steamed buns.” Su Yan ran straight into the kitchen to eat.

“We are very busy, go to your grandmother or mother,” Su Zhenhong said.

“Yanyan, come here.” Su Zhenyue took a small bowl and filled it with a bowl of braised steamed buns. He handed it to Su Yan and said, “Take it. But don’t come into the kitchen again.

“I know, uncle.” Su Yan said sweetly and took the bowl of braised steamed buns and said, “I want ketchup.”

“Well, I’ll put you a bowl of ketchup, too.” Su Zhenyue smiled.

Su Yan brought the tomato sauce with one hand and carefully walked to the living room and put it on the table and then began to eat. She grabbed the bun directly with her hand and dipped it in tomato sauce and stuffed it into her mouth, and then revealed an intoxication color.

She finished eating a piece of steamed bun in three bits, licked the ketchup on her hand and her eyes brighten. She dipped a little tomato sauce into her mouth and her eyes were getting even brighter. Then, she picked up the small bowl of ketchup and licked it like a dog and cleaned it up. She remembered the words of her grandfather and uncle and did not go to the kitchen and went straight to find Su Jing. To treat this little niece, Su Jing naturally would not be stingy and gave her two red and big fresh tomatoes.

At the same time, the guests in the yard also found the deliciousness of the ketchup. They wrapped the steamed buns in the bowl one by one, and the tomato sauce was used up in three or two times, and some of them were even asking for more. For example, the tables of Qin Shuang, Tang Xiaoyu, Qin Xulan, and Liu Qing directly grabbed the bowl of ketchup and ate it without putting it on anything. They decided that the ketchup was definitely made by Su Jing. However, they miscalculated this time, the delicious ketchup was not the result of a good cook but it was the result of tomato itself.

“Uncle, a lot of people want ketchup, is there any left?” Su Liang went into the kitchen.

“There were two bowls of ketchup at the end of each table and there was only a bowl of steamed bun. How can they want more ketchup?” Su Zhenhong said with a strange face.

“I don’t know. Many people are scrambling for ketchup. There’s a guy who ate it directly.” Su Liang was also feeling a bit strange.

“Scrambling to eat?” Su Zhenhong picked a little tomato sauce with a spoon and put it in his mouth, then his eyes widened. The ketchup was made by himself, and it was clear to him that he did not do anything special. The reason why it is so delicious should not be because of him and thinking of Su Jing’s reaction before, he could not help but think. “Isn’t the tomato in the refrigerator ordinary?”

However. Su Zhenhong didn’t think much either and said, “No, there’s no more ketchup.”

“A’Jing, how is this ketchup made? How is it so delicious?” When Su Jing went to greet the guests in the yard. Wang Zhuo sat down with Su Jing and inquired. Qian Shufeng and Zhao Zhi were even more excited. They wanted to invite Su Jing back to the hotel restaurant as a cook, but they failed to succeed. Su Jing’s cooking skills are also not available, but the secret recipe of tomato sauce may be available.

“Oh, this ketchup is the same as regular ketchup,” Su Jing said.

“This is impossible.” Qian Shufeng and Zhao Zhi said in unison as even their restaurants doesn’t have this quality ketchup. The chef’s fine-tuned ketchup and other sauces are not so delicious as this one. How can people scramble to grab ordinary ketchup?

“Oh.” Su Jing smiled and didn’t talk and went to get two tomatoes, and cut them into many pieces in front of them, then said, “Eat them and see.”

Wang Zhuo, Wang Siya, Qian Shufeng, and Zhao Zhi all looked confused. They didn’t know what Su Jing meant. But they picked up the tomatoes and took a bite. Then they were immediately shocked and began to eat the rest of them until the tomato in the middle was eaten up.

“What you mean is that it is the tomato itself. What kind of tomato is this? How is it so delicious?” Qian Shufeng looked surprised as he ate the tomato, but he didn’t hear anything about it.

“It turns out that tomatoes are so delicious to eat raw.” Zhao Zhi exclaimed. Wang Zhu and Wang Siya just stopped talking. They ate one by one, which seemed elegant. In fact, they chewed very fast, and soon two tomatoes were eaten up.

“A’Jing, where is the new variety of tomatoes? Shouldn’t it be on the market?” Wang Zhuo asked.

“It is a new variety I’ve accidentally cultivated. It shouldn’t be on the market.” Su Jing nodded.

“You did it by accident?” Wang Zhu was stunned and then smiled. “You said it so lightly. If the guys in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences heard you, they would jump to their death and they will take you with them, people will be willing to spend a lot of money on these. They haven’t developed or researched such delicious tomatoes.”

“It’s just a coincidence.” Su Jing scratched his head and said as this was just a tomato variety in the A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality. He could not take any credit for it.

“Have you ever thought about large-scale cultivation and development of agriculture for such good tomatoes? Because the tourism industry has been doing well recently, someone from your mayor’s office recommended a large area of cultivated land to me. It is said that in the past, the harvest of that kind of corn was not good and the cost was lost, which led to the shortage of land for several months.” Wang Zhu suddenly said something on his mind.

“Of course I’ve thought about it. I’m looking for a place to recruit people.” As soon as Su Jing heard Wang Zhu words, his eyes brightened, in fact, the biggest headache for him is to find the ground, plus a series of everything in disorder problems, such as procedures, recruitment, sales channels, etc., which are too troublesome, resulting in Su Jing’s delay in action. After all, he can’t spend too much time and energy on it. If he can cooperate with Wang Zhu, it will definitely save him a lot of effort.

“But there is a problem. The protection of agricultural patents is too weak. At present, in international conventions, although TRIPS Agreement and UPOV convention both stipulate that new plant varieties can be protected through patents, many of them, as members of the TRIPS Agreement, do not grant patent rights to new plant varieties in their domestic laws. At present, China does not grant patent protection to animal and plant item species, including new plant varieties bred by genetic engineering. Only the special new plant variety law can protect the new plant variety.” Wang Zhu said, pausing a little, and continued, “in short, once this new variety comes out, anyone can take it to cultivate and plant, we will lose the advantage, and then the profit will be limited.”

The meaning of Wang Zhuo’s words is obvious. This tomato can only earn the first prize. After that, this variety will surely spread all over the country, and then it will become a common agricultural product. Of course, planting well can still make money, but this kind of profit, for him and Su Jing, is not worth investment.

“Brother Zhu, what if I can guarantee that this new breed will not flow out?” Su Jing said and Wang Zhu’s eyes narrowed slightly. (to be continued)
