Chapter 189 Authorization of Staple Food When Kagawa was thinking about how to get pocket money from his father, Xiangxue finally noticed the spoon that Kagawa was holding in the air. To be precise, I noticed the shiny and distinctly grainy fried rice on the spoon. [Sister Kagawa, what are you eating? Are these freshly made noodles? ] Xiangxue asked in confusion. Lin Ming behind her also stared at the screen in confusion. He used his fingers to measure the size of rice grains, wondering when Sister Xiangchuan developed such smooth and small dough balls? "Hmm? This, this is rice." Xiangchuan held the spoon in front of the camera and let Xiangxue and Lin Ming take a good look at it. The resolution of modern people's high-tech cameras is enough to surpass that of professional cameras in the 21st century. Kagawa had seen this when he saw the photos that Xiangxue posted in the family chat group. The resolution was so high that it seemed as if it had been increased to 40K. Even the peppercorns on the steak could be clearly seen. Just as she thought, Xiangxue turned the camera and saw the fried rice on the spoon clearly. [Rice? Isn't rice the same as the noodles we eat at home? Yours... doesn't look like noodles? ]

Xiangxue looked at Lin Ming with some uncertainty. Lin Ming nodded. He had just squeezed next to Xiangxue and saw Xiangchuan showing off the rice to the camera. He also saw the shiny grains on the spoon clearly. No matter whether he looked at it from far or close up, it didn't look like something that could be easily made with flour. "It's definitely not noodles, it's rice." Kagawa turned the camera towards the field, "You know paddy, right? Rice. This is made of rice." 【what? 】 【What? ! 】 At this time, a familiar exclamation came from the other side of the screen. Xiangchuan didn't even frown at this. In the past two months, she has become immune to her father's exclamations. Sure enough, Xiang Weiguo, who had been acting as a background behind the screen, now rushed directly to Xiangxue's seat and stared at the fried rice on Xiangchuan's spoon in the screen. "Dad, I know what you're thinking, but people should know how to be content. We have enough beans to last for a long time. And we still have a lot of noodle licenses, right? Just stir-fry a few more dishes, don't be too greedy." After Kagawa finished speaking, he decisively put the rice that had been left on the spoon for a long time into his mouth. Looking at Xiang Weiguo's conflicted expression on the other side of the screen, Xiangchuan was completely unmoved. Ouyang Yating and Aino, who were sitting next to her, were impressed by Kagawa's composure. Regarding the patent licensing of rice, they also asked Kagawa in the chat group of their own small group (the four members of Tongue Tip Society + Qiu Manman + Nancy) during lunch break. With the precedents of steamed buns and noodles, and the amazing performance of white rice and stir-fried dishes at lunch, they had no doubt that Kagawa would give the authorization to the Yuexiang Group. However, Kagawa directly denied their speculation. 【Some things are not suitable for one company to dominate. 】 Kagawa typed this sentence in the group in a pretentious manner, but was immediately exposed by Ouyang Yating and Qiu Manman, and the topic was almost deviated. But this is indeed what Kagawa really thinks. In her opinion, Yuexiang Group has obtained the authorization for bean products. After mass production of condiments and various bean products in the future, Yuexiang Group will definitely attract the attention of others. At present, the crowded restaurants have already made many companies think of suing the antitrust law. If it were not for Kagawa's later relaxation of the authorization scope and the negotiation with the Agriculture Bureau, Yuexiang Group would never be calm now. Moreover, rice is a staple crop. Even Kagawa, whose modern knowledge reserves are only comparable to those of an elementary school student, can understand that the government will not easily hand over the planting and management of certain specific crops to general enterprises after reading a lot of time-travel novels and memorizing one political theory book after another when he was in school. This will cause modern society to regress into a capitalist society. Although this may stimulate economic development, it is not a long-term solution for the country or the fleet.

Xiangchuan thought of the director of the Agricultural Bureau who had come to her house for dinner several times, and she could see these meanings in his words. She felt that with her father's many years of business experience, he would definitely understand the meaning of those words, but as the leader of the company, he would inevitably want to gain more benefits for his company. After all, this is a new staple food for modern people. Across the screen, Xiang Weiguo watched Xiangchuan happily put bites of fried rice into his mouth and savored it carefully. Finally, under his daughter's silent protest, he gave up and returned to the back dejectedly, continuing to serve as a background board. As soon as the dad who was stealing the spotlight left, Xiangxue and Lin Ming moved in front of the camera again. [Sister Xiangchuan, tell me what this tastes like! Or you can just send the recipe over and I’ll ask my chef to make one at home. I remember there’s still a lot of rice flour in the warehouse at home! ] Xiangxue looked at the rich fried rice in Xiangchuan's four-grid lunch box and couldn't help swallowing. She had never tasted it, but that did not prevent her from inferring that these small particles were delicious based on her experience of sneaking meals in the kitchen over the past few months. After all, my sister, who loves novelty and has a taste that is completely like that of ancient people, eats it so deliciously. Although her taste is not exactly the same as her sister's, it is certain that this is definitely not unpalatable! How can you not eat such good things as soon as possible! As Xiangxue thought about it, she became a little angry. Why did my sister have to wait until the escort ship production to make something that looks so delicious? If you need the ingredients, can't she just ask Xiaoxing or the chef to prepare them at home? If Kagawa knew that his sister, with her eyes wide open, was thinking such things, he would definitely defend himself: It’s not that I don’t want to make it at home, but I couldn’t help but serve it out when I saw the new rice! Of course, Kagawa didn't have the ability to read minds, so he could only answer honestly: "No, no, that rice powder can't make this. This is made from rice before it is ground into powder. I don't remember selling these in the market." What I mean is: I can’t do it right away at home. [I don't care. Just send me the recipe and I'll ask Dad and Xiaoxing to prepare it. It's just unground rice flour. I'm sure you can buy it!] Xiangxue stared at Xiangchuan's fried rice, swallowed her saliva again and again, and suddenly she didn't want to eat the roast chicken that had just been served. At this time, Lin Ming next to him spoke helplessly: [Xiangxue, you haven't forgotten that Sister Xiangchuan is on the escort ship now, right? ] [Yeah, but is it okay to send a recipe? ] Xiangxue said angrily. [Have you forgotten? Because of the failure of the space-time network signal station, the available functions of the space-time network are now greatly limited. Even Sister Kagawa's patent authorization cannot be immediately transmitted to the information turbulence processing office. Right, Sister Kagawa? ] When Lin Ming looked towards the camera, his face immediately revealed an obedient smile like in Sichuan opera face-changing, which made Xiangxue really unable to resist giving him a hit on the back of the head. Kagawa smiled and said: "The authorization issue may not be that troublesome. Our class teacher said that he would report back to Captain Adan and see if he could submit it to the office first through the government route. But the recipe book does not have this privilege, so we'd better wait until the day after tomorrow." When Xiangxue heard this, she immediately quit. [I can't wait! This looks so delicious, but I can only watch... Dad! Can I take a day off tomorrow to produce escort ships? I don't mind getting up early in the morning! ] Kagawa glanced at his father who was serving as the background. Xiang Weiguo was now holding his chin with one hand, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Seeing his father's eager expression, Xiangchuan even suspected that he would follow Xiangxue on the grounds of accompanying a guardian. At this moment, Lin Minzhi's cold voice sounded outside the screen: [No. Xiaoxue, go to class obediently these days. Honey, don't keep thinking about these things. Take care of Douzi's matter first and don't cause trouble for Xiaochuan anymore.] Hearing this, Xiangxue became visibly dejected, and Xiang Weiguo in the background also obediently buried his head in eating noodles. Kagawa also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With today's sudden situation, she couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any unexpected situations in the next two days. If her father came and started a dispute with the government officials, things would be difficult to resolve.

In her heart, she silently gave a thumbs up to her mother who stopped her father and sister from going berserk, and was thinking about whether she should prepare a few more world classics for her mother after returning home, so as to contribute to the Cultural Bureau.
