Baili Liangliu and the other six people could only walk to the edge of the corn field, but could not enter the corn field, and at the same time, they could only move their eyes to see but not touch the corn.
That is to say, through the prayers and supplications of Genzi, all they were allowed to do was to reach the edge of the field, approach the corn, and shorten the distance between them and the corn.
Otherwise, as always.
and Fan Yuanzi accompanied them, as well as Chen Fengshan and Fan Lihua, two young people.
The two young people also have no specific tasks, but during the expedition, there may be some additional needs that the young people need to do to help these expedition members.
A few people stood at the head of the field and looked up to see that it was a considerable cornfield, estimated at least twenty acres according to the visual inspection of Baili Liangliu.
The shape of this field is basically square, and the inside is full of corn stalks standing upright, and the ridges are very neat.
The distance between each ridge is one foot five, and if you are not super obese, you can walk into it head-on.
This ridge spacing is important.
These corn stalks are multi-year grown, which means that if they are not deliberately cut and pulled, they will live forever.
On these corn stalks, there are many corn cobs, that is, the fruits of corn, which do not ripen at the same time, but are in different stages of maturity.
The bottom ear of corn, already showing a golden yellow from the cob wrapper that encased it, was clearly fully ripe and ready for harvest.
And the ears of corn on it, only slightly yellow, are ripe.
At this time, corn can also be harvested, but it cannot be used in the same way as fully mature corn.
Corn at this stage is best cooked by the grilling method and tastes the best.
The corn on the upper layer is half hard and half tender, and it is generally said after it is ripe, but it can also be used to make boiled corn and eat, which has a unique flavor.
However, the difference between these three different is according to the way of the outside world, so I don't know whether the latter two ways of eating will affect the effect of the food.
Each ridge was covered with corn seedlings, and each corn was one foot apart, and when you looked up, you could not see a single seedling.
It is estimated that this is because these corns have been growing for a long time, and even if there is a shortage of seedlings and broken ridges at the beginning, it has been filled.
Looking at these corn seedlings, they are all six feet high, with the same thickness, uniform and neat.
Each tree has ten leaves, and the top is a corn stamen, which is used to pollinate the corn ears below at any time.
These ten pieces are all the same length and turquoise in color, from top to bottom color.
Corn in the outside world is different, generally green on the top and yellow on the bottom.
Because they are all born and died in the same year, death starts from the roots, the top is still growing, and the bottom has dried up and yellowed, and it has entered the death link.
And then there's a place that's markedly different from the outside world.
The corn they saw in the corn field, where every leaf and main stem meet, produced an ear of corn.
The corn on this ear will ripen, but when the villagers harvest it, they will not break it whole, but only rub off the kernels on it.
And the corn bones of the ears of corn are still there.
When the whole ear of corn is ripe and harvested, the ear of corn with only the bones of the corn will grow young kernels.
When the top generation of corn is all ripe and harvested, this second-generation corn begins to ripen again.
And so on forever, and there is no end.
After everyone watched it and had some intuitive understanding of the surface of these corns, he told everyone about some related things.
He said that this land is the only place in Gunongwu dedicated to growing corn, which can fully meet the needs of all villagers.
At the same time, it can also provide the food hall sent by Gu Nongwu for the needs of ingredients.
He particularly emphasized that by observing each corn plant, we can know that the second generation of corn will take over and ripen in time after all ten ears of corn have been harvested from the bottom to the top, but in fact it is far more powerful than this order.
The ripening rate of these corns can be adjusted!
In other words, they can extend the ripening time as needed, or they can shorten the ripening time.
If the ripe corn is not used immediately, the corn can not be harvested and left to stay on the ears of corn.
As a result, the other ears of corn do not grow at the rate of ripening, but remain in place.
If there is a reverse situation and a large amount of corn is urgently needed, then all the corn in the whole ear can be harvested, and then the corn in the second ear can be harvested immediately.
If the entire first generation of corn is harvested, then the second generation will immediately mature ears of corn ready for harvesting.
It is for this reason that this corn field can be used by everyone in the ancient agricultural dock, and it can also be supplied in large quantities to the food buildings outside, which is almost endless.
"So how do you manage this corn? How do you manage it?"
As a student majoring in ancient agriculture and a master of family management, Baili Liangliu couldn't help but ask a major question.
"No need to manage!"
Yan Yuanzi said as a matter of course.
"There is no need to water, the wind and rain are always smooth here, there is no need to fertilize, the land is fertile, the nutrients that all kinds of corn need to grow are naturally contained in the soil, and they are inexhaustible, there is no need to weed, all kinds of plants have their own territory, they all have their own place, you can see, there is a weed as far as the eye can see, so all the crops here do not have to be managed. ā
Baili Liangliu exclaimed!
This kind of natural agriculture is much more advanced than any agricultural modernization!
"Another thing is that the corn produced in this field is collected by each villager according to his needs, when to use it, and when to rub it, so there is no need for storage, and there is no distribution system, which is different from what you are outside! I almost forgot to mention it just now, because I always think it is a self-evident thing. ā
"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for informing me! It's very different outside than here. ā
Then, in order to let these people see the current situation of ripe corn, Chen Fengshan and Yan Lihua both entered the corn field and each found an ear of corn that was in the process of harvesting in a mature state to open.
The two peeled off the corn foreskin from the ears of corn, revealing the golden kernels inside.
The corn kernels were neatly clinging to the corn bones, shining yellow and shiny.
Although the particles are not very large, they are round and plump, and they look like a delicious and delicious thing.
Half of the kernels had been rubbed off from the two open corns, and the rest were still in their best condition, while the top half was already a young and tender kernel.
As can be seen from this state, there is an overproduction of these corns.
