Chapter 124 The old lady is steady
It’s all food, who is more noble than whom?
Qixun decided to seek justice for corn and sweet potatoes.
"Uncle Shi, when it comes to yield per mu, the yields of these two newly discovered edible foods are not bad either."
Li Xingjian:......
Although there is no Saint Kong in this world, and there is no son who talks about strange powers and chaos, there are monks after all. My father and brother are practitioners, but the county magistrate is a staunch atheist. He feels that what monks cultivate is only strength.
, what is the essence of the difference between a practitioner's emphasis on qualifications and a martial artist's emphasis on qualifications? It's just that everyone uses their power in different ways.
But at this moment, Li Xingjian suspected that he was possessed by the God of Luck today.
How difficult is it to discover an edible, high-yielding grain species?
And today, he met him!
Moreover, Gongyu Xiaoxun actually told him that there was not just one kind, but another!
If he hadn't had an in-depth chat with this little girl before, this child's intelligence and thoughts would have made it impossible to treat her as just a child. He would have suspected that this little girl was deceiving him.
Since the little girl wouldn't deceive him about such a big thing, then, is he really possessed by the God of Luck?
Or maybe today is an auspicious day for him?
Li Xingjian was silent for a while, speechless for a moment. How could this good fortune feel so unreal?
Qixun wondered, what happened to the Lord County Lord? Shouldn't he be more happy? Why didn't he even say anything?
You don’t look like you’re stupidly happy, do you?
The two stared at each other for a while, before Li Xingjian coughed and said, "What is this? What kind of high-yield method?"
Qixun first introduced corn: "This plant is about six feet long, and each plant can produce one to three such cobs. Calculated based on the height of the plant and the length of the leaves, the appropriate spacing between planting rows is about one foot? Calculated this way
, the yield per mu should be about one thousand catties, right? Maybe higher?”
She can't say that she grows it in her space, nor can she say how much corn is produced in ordinary farmland. After all, in the past life, the determinants of food production were not only seeds, but also fertility, scientific planting management, pesticides and other factors. With the current situation,
It is impossible to reach the agricultural level, so she can only report a lower output, and it can only be said to be a conclusion reached through calculation.
"The color of the mature seeds of this thing is like topaz, why not call it corn? There is also this, I call it sweet potato. The skin is red and the flesh inside is light yellow. When roasted, it has a rich aroma and a sweet and soft texture.
In terms of taste, it is better than potatoes, and the yield should be higher than potatoes. It can also be dried and made into dry food."
Steamed and then sun-dried sweet potatoes are very sweet and chewy, making them a good snack. Cut raw sweet potatoes into strips or slices and dry them in the sun. Add a little when cooking porridge, which is also very fragrant.
The most important thing is that sweet potato flour has the best taste among all kinds of flour.
With this thing, Jinling Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup is ready to go.
What Li Xingjian cares about is not the taste. When pursuing quantity, quality can take a back seat.
He only cares about: "How many of these new things have you brought back from the mountains and forests? Are they enough for trial planting next year?"
Qi Wa thought for a while and before he died, he just harvested a batch of corn and sweet potatoes. The quantity was not large, but each weighed about a thousand kilograms. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted in blocks after germination, which was enough for trial planting.
Not to mention corn, once you plant it, it will become a plant. If the germination rate is high, one or two kilograms of seed can be planted on an acre of land.
Chili peppers are a better solution.
Of course, for this kind of seasonings and vegetables, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the most beautiful, and Li Xingjian is not in the mood to care about it.
Qi Xun really felt aggrieved for Chili Pepper.
Without chili, the food would be less colorful!
"Except for this red seasoning, the rest weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms."
Save two to three hundred kilograms and try it at home.
Besides, it is impossible to plant a large area for trial planting. Planting a few acres of each species is enough. Understand the local soil quality, climate, and the impact on the yield per acre. You must also consider factors such as natural disasters. To be honest, it is not a trial planting.
After a few crops, the planting method will be perfected, but no one will dare to promote it on a large scale.
The planting of new grains and the improvement of grain varieties are the most time-consuming things. This is a long-term project. It would be irresponsible if she rashly promotes these types of planting because of her knowledge of them.
Some things cannot be rushed.
"Where is it stored? Take me to see it." Li Xingjian said excitedly.
Seven or eight hundred kilograms of seeds were used for seed production, which was not a small amount. Li Xingjian wished he could move all these things back to the county seat and hide them now.
If the trial planting can be successful, a new grain variety with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu will be born in his hands. Although he did not discover and successfully test the planting, he presided over the successful trial planting and promoted it. From then on, no people will starve to death in Daxia.
What kind of incredible contribution and merit is this?
Let alone him, even if the Emperor of Great Xia is here, he still can't calm down!
Qixun:......
Everything is in my space, where can I let you see it?
Just hold him steady first, and I'll take it out from a nook and cranny, and then I'll take you to see it.
Aren't you here to see the new farm tools? With the new grain varieties, you are abandoning the farm tools? Lord County Lord, you are going too far.
Qixun, who was feeling very amused, vomited for a while, then looked at my mother and third sister Lingsu. They understood instantly and said hurriedly: "The things are in the utility room, there is no way for anyone to get in. Sir, just sit down.
"
After Gong Yumingxi finished speaking, he turned to look at Qixun and Lingsu: "Lingsu, go help in the kitchen. Xiaoxun, go find your second brother and move the things to the yard for adults to see."
I am very steady and can handle the situation quite well.
When Qixun and Lingsu heard this, they rushed out of the house before the county magistrate could speak. Li Xingjian took a look and said, wait.
The two of them walked out of the main room, and Qixun whispered to Lingsu: "I'll go to the shed at the back. Let the second brother find me."
Qixun went to the back shed, found three baskets, and took out one basket each of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. This basket must have weighed more than one hundred or two hundred kilograms. She was afraid that the county magistrate would return the rest.
If you want to see it, take it out and pile it on the ground.
When Brother Monkey arrived, he first moved the corn to the front yard. Captain Zuo looked at it and came over to help. Brother Monkey put the corn down and then asked him to go to the greenhouse behind the yard to move potatoes and sweet potatoes.
As for the chili peppers, Qixun only put out a few kilograms of dried chili peppers.
After he finished moving the things, Li Xingjian went out to take a look. His eyes were hotter than looking at gold.
Qixun suggested: "Make some for Uncle Shi to try at noon. Only after eating it will you know whether it's worth trying. Don't worry, my third sister's medical skills are inherited from my grandfather, so I won't be afraid even if I get poisoned."
You've eaten it, isn't it alive and kicking? What's poisonous and not poisonous?
However, Li Xingjian also felt that he should eat it once to know what this newly discovered food was like.
Although his flesh ached and he wanted to gnaw his teeth, the county minister still nodded.
"Only eat this meal, don't waste the rest, keep it for sowing."
Qixun nodded obediently. Anyway, I secretly kept some food for myself. Just make sure you are happy.
