Xu Yi thought it would be like someone planting it in a flower pot, and the flesh on the crown bud had to be cleaned up. Although there are no bacteria in the space and will not cause rot, it is not known whether leaving too much pulp will affect the rooting of the crown buds. It is necessary to clean the flesh without damaging the crown buds too severely, so I am afraid that it may not be able to be planted even if it is in the space. If you plant pineapples, it will take a day or two, and then you don't know what time it will be when you return to the river.

If there is no Xiao Li, it makes no big difference whether you can go out or not, and there is no need to go back to Yanjiang at all. But now I can only take the car back from the village, and if I toss for too long, I will have to go back at night.

Of course, it doesn't take much to plant pineapples, but it's just to dig a pit and fill in some soil, counting one, two, three, four, five......

In fact, it is not troublesome at all, but the trouble is the process of selecting ingredients, cleaning, and cutting vegetables. As for actually getting out of the pot, whether it is out of taste or heat, the time required for cooking is fixed, and even some dishes are not even stir-fried and looked at much, how troublesome can it be? Of course, if you have to say that the kind of carving and plating, it will take several hours...... Don't you know that fish farming or vegetable cultivation are calculated on a monthly basis? What's more, it takes hours to cook a dish, and the dish really stinks like it is said in the movie.

The result still made Xu Yi happy, the crown buds only needed to be dug down, and there was no need to clean them up at all. The longest work was omitted, and the rest took little time, with the pineapples all planted in less than two hours. Xiao Li is not along the river, she just needs to go back directly from the space before she goes back, and she also saves the toss of turnover on the road.

Xu Yi roughly calculated the time, set an alarm clock, and was busy in the space with peace of mind.

Xu Yi looked around, the space was full of plants, and there was not much open space left. He also thought that he would simply take advantage of this time to plant a batch of corn in these open fields. In this way, the harvest will be almost possible the night after tomorrow at the latest, and it is estimated that this batch of pineapples may not be able to be harvested by then.

After making up his mind, he took a bamboo plaque and brought it back with some corn cobs, squatted down and rubbed the corn.

The corn I planted this time was mainly eaten when I was in space, and I spent almost half of my time in space every day. Not to mention anything else, just for eating, there is almost ten days and half a month's worth of outside in a day, and a bag of rice can't be eaten for a few days before it bottoms out. It's all about buying and eating, not only is it troublesome, even if you buy affordable rice yourself, a bag is more than 100 yuan and close to 200 yuan, and the cost is really a bit big.

Anyway, I started to do it right away, and I just set aside a space on the edge of the drying field to install all kinds of rice milling and flour grinding machines. Take advantage of this time to plant some corn, and when the machine is installed, the corn is also ripe, and process some corn ballast and cornmeal instead of rice, which can also save a lot of money.

There is no shortage of vegetables in the space, but there is really nothing that can be used as a staple food.

Although the old saying goes, "there is food for half a year, but there is no food for half a year", you can't just eat potatoes and sweet potatoes. Even if the taste of the space is good, it is likely that the nutrition is higher, but it cannot completely replace the function of rice noodles.

As a traditional farming country, the pursuit of rice noodles may have been imprinted in the genes of the Chinese people, and the desire for rice noodles far outweighs the demand for nutrition and calories. If you really don't have any vegetables and you're really hungry, you can eat a few bowls of soy sauce bibimbap but you don't have enough food to eat vegetables, so even if you eat big fish and meat, you will feel that something is missing when you look back.

Xu Yi thought about planting something else, but the seeds at hand were basically left by the old man, and there were dozens of kinds of trees, most of which were all kinds of vegetables, and the ones that could really be used as staple food were only glutinous corn.

He did have the heart to buy some ordinary corn or something, but the provincial capital is always a city, except for going to the special food wholesale market or agricultural product wholesale market, most of the time he can only find some finished products, which can really be grown, or all kinds of beans used to sprout sprouts or make bean paste fillings. These things can't be used as staple food, at most they are used to add a little spice when cooking, and they really don't lack these things.

And what you can see on the market, where will tell you what kind of variety it is, and the cereal area of the supermarket can see the origin at most, and you can't figure out what kind of variety it is, and you don't even know when it was produced. And you don't have to think about it to know that those things look big, full, shiny, and they are all hybrids. Just like the so-called "grass eggs" on the shelves, which were not all collectively referred to as "foreign eggs", where did the free-range chickens lay so many eggs?

What's more, I really haven't seen husked rice there, except for corn ballast, cornmeal and corn flakes, I haven't seen whole corn kernels at all.

Xu Yi naturally refused to buy hybrid seeds, not considering the cost factor, and having to consider having to buy seeds again every time, which was too troublesome. There will definitely be a situation of trait separation when you keep your own seeds, and it will definitely be messy if you grow it again. For the sake of being forced to be helpless, Xu Yi is really not interested in playing any more breeding matters.

Waxy corn is waxy corn, anyway, it is a little troublesome to process, if the machine is overheated, it is easy to stick to the machine, and even burned, and it is easy to paste the pot when cooking rice or something, at least it can fill the stomach.

As for the rest, the most you can do is to get some bean flour, stir-fry some sesame seeds or something.

Xu Yi couldn't help but think that it was better for him to go home as soon as possible, he didn't take out the scroll in a panic, or he could find the symptoms that solved his last fainting problem, not to mention that he could still find regular ordinary corn seeds in the village.

Many people in the village may still grow hybrid corn in their fields, although many of the self-kept seeds have many advantages such as good taste, but most of the field crops have to be sold, and in the end it depends on the yield. Under the premise of heavy use of chemical fertilizers, hybrids have a much greater advantage over self-retaining seeds. If you keep your own seeds, one acre of land will be served, and you will be able to produce a hundred catties of corn at most if the wind and rain are smooth, but if you change it to hybrid corn, you can easily get thousands of catties per acre, who will not be able to get along with the money.

If the hybrids can be retained, it may be difficult to find some regular corn. However, this characteristic of not being able to keep seeds also makes some people with little dry land, or planting some corn in their own land and vegetable plots, and often planting corn for their own use.

After all, more is planted on a fraction of the land, and less is even planted with dozens or hundreds of trees. It's too troublesome to buy seeds every year for this point, anyway, I just plant some for myself to eat, plus enough to raise some chickens and ducks, I don't look at the yield at all, and the corn grown in the conventional way tastes better. So these people will more or less keep some regular corn seeds, and go back and ask them for it.

As for rice, wheat or something, Xu Yi had no choice.

In the early years, there were not many paddy fields in the village, and all the crops were kept for themselves. With the increase in rice prices over the years, the land in front of the village has basically been converted into paddy fields. The yield of conventional rice is also not good, so little by little it is replaced with hybrid varieties.

And unlike most of the self-reserved land of each family, which blooms on the side of their own mountain, although the corn is a wind-borne flower, the plots of each family are not together, and there is a natural isolation zone, so the corn seeds planted by themselves can still remain pure.

Rice is also a wind-borne flower, but the paddy fields in the village are all concentrated, and after so many years, even if anyone still keeps their own seeds, they are all a little hybrid, even if they really don't change the seeds, they will definitely not be able to use it again after so many years.

Now, except for some people who want to make sake and make some rice cakes, they will keep some sticky rice seeds, and there are no regular rice plants for themselves.

As for wheat, no one has planted it for many years after the joint production contract, and if you want to eat flour and buy some, you can still grow rape in the field in winter to earn more. Most of the roadside from the village to the county seat is also farmland, and Xu Yi has not seen wheat planted for many years, and even if it is not rape in winter, it is often cotton. As for the summer, you can still see the shaking in the early years, but the price of corn has risen in recent years, and at a glance, all the corn that you can't see is the end.

Therefore, Xu Yi doesn't know where to get these things of conventional seeds, there is no way here in the provincial capital, when he bought the machine, he saw some seed stores or something, but he also knew that they must be some hybrid varieties, and the vegetable seeds must be the big head, and it is unlikely that there will be these conventional seeds for sale.

It's really a lot of self-kept seeds to look for casually on the Internet, but Xu Yi really didn't have the idea of buying them online. After all, the germination rate of the purple linden seeds I bought in the flower and bird market is so low, let alone the online store. I also saw that both strawberry seeds and rose seeds had to be sold, so it was not surprising to buy some rice seeds and receive a packet of weeds. I also saw that the forum said that even if you deliberately avoid buying seeds, you can't escape the catastrophe of Dasuqian!

Of course, if you are not in a hurry, it is not completely hopeless.

I am going to Agricultural University in the fall, and such a big school will definitely have a breeding base. Whether it is used as a parent or experimental material, or even just the task of seed preservation, there should be no shortage of such local varieties, and there will still be opportunities to get these in the future.

He even thought that when he had money in the future, he would buy an oil press. Anyway, whether it is peanuts, sesame seeds and soybeans, there are more or less kinds of oil crops, and you can eat whatever you want to squeeze anything. In this way, most of the things in the space can be produced by themselves, and the rest or only need to buy some spices and meat, so that there is no worry about eating and drinking in this space.
