Chapter 63 Sacred and Majestic

This day.

Liu Tao went to the Jingcheng Hotel.

All the participants were arranged in the Jingcheng Hotel. The treatment was good. After all, it was one of the top three hotels in the whole city.

Tomorrow is the award ceremony. Everyone was registered and arranged. Even if the winners have a home in Beijing, they must arrive here today. Otherwise, if there is any mistake tomorrow, no one will be able to escape.

In the evening, everyone was organized to have a dinner. There were exactly four tables for the thirty-three winners plus some leaders.

There were mathematicians, biologists, entomologists, water conservancy workers, and medical professionals.

Liu Tao took a look. He was the youngest in the audience. He stood out among the people in their forties and fifties.

Of the thirty-three winners, only four were women, and the rest were men!

And Liu Tao only knew three people.

Yuan Longping, now almost 50 years old, is a Chinese hybrid rice breeding expert and the pioneer of Chinese research and development of hybrid rice. He is known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice in the World".

Hua Luogeng, nearly 70 years old, is a nationally renowned mathematician.

Wu Wenjun, also nearly 60 years old, is a nationally renowned mathematician and, like Hua Luogeng, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (academician).

As for the others, Liu Tao did not know them and had hardly heard of their deeds. They were unknown and selfless people.

In the past ten years, this award has not been given again.

So that these three nationally renowned scientists have only been awarded this honor.

From this, we can also see how fierce the competition for the selection of "National Advanced Science and Technology Workers" is and how high the gold content is.

"Young man, which unit do you work in?" asked a middle-aged woman.

The leader next to him smiled and introduced: "This person was recommended by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. He is from the weapons industry system. He developed the world's leading firearms, allowing our soldiers to be equipped with advanced firearms to defend the motherland."

Others looked at Liu Tao with surprise.

Now news dissemination is mainly through newspapers, television, and radio, and everyone has limited ways to learn about news.

Even though there have been reports about Liu Tao before, many people still don't know him.

"The young man is really promising at a young age, and it is true that young people are heroes!" the older sister praised.

Mr. Hua at the same table smiled and said, "Didn't the great man say that this world is ours and yours, and in the end it is yours! The emergence of young talents shows that the motherland has successors."

"Mr. Hua, you are too kind!" Liu Tao seemed terrified. After all, he was still young, and Mr. Hua was already a world-famous mathematician.

As the dinner was over, everyone started chatting and gradually got to know the fields in which others worked.

Almost one-third of them were from universities, one-third were from major scientific research institutions, and the remaining one-third were from the production field.

As for the field of weapons industry, there was only Liu Tao.

That night, they stayed at the Beijing Hotel, and each person was assigned a room.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast together, and everyone was dressed neatly, but the clothes of that era were just like that, not good-looking, and they were all very simple.

After breakfast, everyone got on the bus under the arrangement of the staff and set off for the meeting place.

The award ceremony was held in the Great Hall.

The Great Hall was full of sacredness at this time, and music was playing.

"Click, click!"

Liu Tao took the certificate from the leader, and the media reporters took pictures frantically.

The award ceremony at this time was relatively traditional, without any fancy interviews at the venue, and not many media were allowed in.

Only at the end, the reporter of Renren Daily interviewed casually: "Comrade Liu Tao, what do you want to say to the people of the country for this award?"

Liu Tao smiled and said: "Thank you XXX, thank you XXX, I will continue to work hard in the future, strive to make greater scientific research results, and contribute my own strength to the prosperity of the motherland."

Everyone was the same.

At noon, a state banquet was held, which was extremely classical and solemn in the oriental style.

This was also the first time Liu Tao saw a real Manchu-Han banquet.

There are all kinds of colors, and each cuisine is classified into different categories. Each dish has its own particularities and characteristics. All eight cuisines are available, with good color, aroma and taste.

The wine is Maotai.

At this time, a bottle of Maotai costs 7 yuan!

Liu Tao tasted it slowly. Even though he didn't drink much, he thought it was delicious.

In terms of wine, Maotai is indeed unique, and it will be widely loved by Chinese people even in the next few decades.

"Now a bottle of wine is only 7 yuan, should I buy some to collect?" Liu Tao muttered to himself.

After hiding for 30 or 40 years, it will be worth at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, which is a 6,000-fold increase in value!

More importantly, when you want to buy it, you can't buy it even if you have money.

Take out a bottle to drink at the critical moment, so you have face.

When he returned home in the evening, he couldn't wait to ride his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a hundred bottles.

He didn't need to check it, because there would be no problem of fake wine at this time.

"Why buy so much wine? You can't finish it!" Chen Fang said angrily.

Liu Tao said: "Hide it. You can't drink it. I want to hide it for 30 or 40 years!"

"Hide it for 30 or 40 years. It will all go bad!" Chen Fang rolled her eyes at Liu Tao.

"Mom, this liquor is not afraid of hiding. The longer it is hidden, the more fragrant it will be!" Liu Tao said, "Remember not to let my dad drink the liquor. If you want to drink it, buy it yourself."

"I know, come back with a certificate and stop doing serious things! If you have time, quickly find a partner and let me and your dad have a grandchild as soon as possible." Chen Fang urged, "You can't do things well if you don't have a hairy mouth, and you don't listen to the old man's words. The consequences are imminent.”

Liu Tao couldn't help but have a headache when he heard the urge to get married.

Every time I come back, I can't help but be urged by my mother to find a partner, as if if I don't find him, I will become an older leftover man.

But the problem is that he is only 24 years old and has just worked for a year.

"Mom, it's not like you don't know that my workplace has more wolves than meat. The ratio of men to women is an exaggerated 7:3. I'm having a headache looking for other workplaces to socialize with." Liu Tao rubbed his head, "Don't stop If you urge me, I won’t dare to come back next time.”

"The singles in your unit must be dealt with, and you, the leader, must also be dealt with!" Chen Fang glared at Liu Tao, "Revolution cannot be completed in one generation, and there must be successors."

"As a leader, you haven't solved the lifelong issues. How can you solve other people's problems? You should have stayed in the capital. Now your school wants to hire you as a teacher. You'd better take this opportunity to come back." Chen Fang's eyes turned red as she spoke, and tears fell one by one: "Your eldest sister went to Beidahuang, and your second sister ran to Yun Province and didn't come back for ten years. You are also in Yun Province, and you can come back several times a year. "

When Liu Tao saw his mother like this, he had to get up and give his mother a hug.

How can a mother not worry when her son is away from home?
