0221 Potatoes

Xu Yi fell into a deep sleep as soon as he fell into bed, he had been busy for so long, and his tiredness and fatigue had already overcome a qiē, dominating all his senses.

However, after sleeping until midnight, all the nerves around Xu Yi's body were relaxed as necessary, and Cheng Dù, whose muscles were congested, also reached a climax, so that the pain from the nerves in his waist and legs directly called Xu Yi back from his sleep.

Xu Yi subconsciously lifted the curtain beside him, but as soon as his arm was raised, he put it down with an "oops".

I always have a large range of movements and more force when I cut beans and fight with my right hand, but I didn't feel anything just now, but after the arm was raised, all the muscles from the biceps brachii to the front chest and back were stretched, and all of them had a pinprick pain.

Obviously, the meaning of this harvest is not only to represent the yellow beans, but also to represent the hard work and hardship.

Xu Yi stretched out his left hand and gently touched his right shoulder, only to feel that the nearby skin was slightly hot, obviously there was some acute strain.

Changing to his left hand to lift the curtain, Xu Yi spread out his hands and looked at it, although the skin color was still fair, but a thin layer of calluses had come out of the roots of his fingers.

Presumably, if you don't exert too much force in the future, there will basically be no more blood blisters in the palm.

Xu Yi got up, picked a few sweet potato leaves, took a bowl and mashed them, put them on his shoulders, and wrapped them in plastic wrap, so as not to make the bed dye the bedding.

As for how effective this thing can be, we can only see tomorrow, and I can only hope that the sweet potato leaves in this space have a better effect on blood circulation and pain relief than those in the outside world.

Xu Yi lowered the curtain and lay back on the bed.

It hurts. After all, there is no big problem, and rest is the best treatment.

Besides. I still have to continue to work, how can I do it if I don't have a good rest?

When you get up again. Xu Yi moved his joints, although the muscles that were stressed yesterday were still sore, but they were much less relieved than when he woke up from the pain, and it would not affect his work today.

Although muscle and joint pain is uncomfortable, it is also an ability of the human body to protect itself, which reminds you to reduce the amount of labor and avoid causing too much damage.

And there is no other better way to do this, which can only rely on your own body to adapt to this labor intensity little by little.

Farming is much more difficult than holding a pen and a stethoscope. I've only been busy a few times now, and I'm far from being a qualified farmer.

Xu Yi went out of the space to solve his personal hygiene, and then took a hot bath by the way, washed the green paste, changed his clothes, and then entered the space again.

After eating, he fed the bees as usual, and Xu Yi took back those red beans and mung beans and other things.

After a long day of busy work, there were a few more half-bags in the neatly stacked booty on the side of the tarpaulin.

Xu Yi walked to the side of the sweet potato with the basket, sorted out the sweet potato seedlings, pinched off all the vines on it, and placed them neatly in the basket.

Naturally, these vines are not meant to be eaten.

Xu Yi carried the basket and walked to the light curtain in the direction where he was going to plant vegetables. Stick all the vines into the ground, one by one.

Scientific farming does not advocate turning vines to reduce the rooting of vines, so as not to change the arrangement of sweet potato leaves, or even turn the yellow leaves and old leaves below to the top, which will affect the yield of sweet potatoes.

If you really turn the vines according to the old way before. Yan zhòng can reduce production by a third.

If you want to get it now, the most you can do is lift the vine knots and pull off the roots on it. Then you have to put it back in place.

Xu Yi even planted it and didn't even manage it, if you look at it this way. This sweet potato is quite convenient.

If you don't have to worry about it, why plant too close. Just plant it on the sidelines.

Most of the baskets of vines were almost planted with half an acre of land, and Xu Yi only watered them once and left it alone.

As for survival, I don't think you need to worry too much, besides, you can live as much as you want.

This thing can harvest five or six thousand catties per acre of land, even if only half of it is left, it will not only be used for itself.

And after all, this is in the space, and when the sweet potato is planted again in the future, it only needs to pinch the vine head to plant, which is extremely cost-saving and reduces labor intensity.

Xu Yi took the sickle back to the edge of the field, cut off all the sweet potato seedlings, threw them on the edge of the ground, and turned his head to look at the ridge of potatoes next to him.

The potatoes were already ripe, with some of the leaves on the branches with a yellow tinge on the edges, and a bunch of potato bells on the branches that were about the same size as miniature tomatoes.

Those potato bells, as few as six or seven, as many as a dozen grow into a bunch, almost the size of a finger.

Xu Yi picked off a bunch and played with it in his hand for a while, these potato bells range from pale yellow to light white, and they are soft when pinched.

Smelling the familiar taste, Xu Yi still gave up the idea of throwing one directly into his mouth.

Potatoes are planted in every household in the village, and when it comes to harvesting potatoes, adults and children are basically in battle.

Adults are responsible for pulling potato seedlings and shaving potatoes outside, while children are responsible for picking them up in baskets.

Sometimes children will pull a few ripe potato bells to eat.

Actually, this thing doesn't taste very good, but it's just a little bit sweet, and it has a very strange taste.

Adults generally don't stop when they see it, but they don't let children eat more, saying that eating too much will make their heads upset.

Troublesome head is just a local saying, which refers to dizziness and headache.

This potato bell doesn't taste very good, and then listen to the adults to scare it, so basically unless the child is hungry, at most it is to eat one or two fresh, and no one will eat more.

Xu Yi had looked for information in school before and wanted to check the composition of this potato bell, but he had never found the composition analysis of this thing in any literature.

I think that one of the symptoms of solanine poisoning is dizziness and headache, or there must be a certain amount of solanine in this fruit.

According to the idea of superior quality products in space, presumably the content of solanine in this potato bell will be higher. It's better not to eat this stuff.

However, Xu Yi was actually thinking about another question when he played with this thing: did he take out these seeds and plant them?

Naturally, Xu Yi had heard from the people in the village that this potato bell could be grown. It's just that the potatoes that grow are very small, and the small potatoes that grow have to be planted again. It takes several years to plant before it can return to normal.

Even so, the potatoes that grow in the end are not necessarily larger than the potatoes that you keep for yourself, so no one is too idle to plant them.

Xu Yi thought that since this thing can grow potatoes, does it also mean that he can breed this kind of potatoes again?

After all, there is a lot of uncertainty in the meaning of this kind of seed-grown potatoes, and it is not known whether they can grow potatoes that are more suitable for growing in the space or have better taste and yield.

Of course, Xu Yi didn't think about taking the potatoes he cultivated to the outside world to grow.

After all, my own idea is based on the characteristics of the space, and the things that are cultivated are no matter what their character is. There is not much reference value for this kind of potato in the outside world.

It can only be said that the good varieties outside are better when they reach the surface of the space, and it cannot be said that the good things in the space will also be good when they are outside the world.

This is the opposite, there is no clear correlation!

In the space, even if the potatoes grown to the size of a basin, it is difficult to say whether there are eggs in the outside world.

After all, there is too much difference between these two environments, and the way of obtaining nutrients is also very different, so it's okay to give adults a bottle, but is it okay to give braised pork to babies?

How to verify the selection and breeding varieties to take out the table for cultivation, which requires a lot of observation and practice to determine, where do you have that idle time?

Outside breeding. Take crossbreeding as an example, first consider the traits, advantages and disadvantages of the parents, and then consider what kind of offspring may be produced on this basis. No matter what kind of breeding method is used, in the end, stable traits can be obtained and the expected goals can be achieved. Moreover, it must be able to express this trait in a normal way, and be able to adapt to the local environment, climate and many other conditions.

It can be said that any breed can be bred. All of them have poured a lot of effort into researchers, where can they be done casually on such a whim?

I don't even know what kind of potatoes I'm growing now. The devil knows what kind of potatoes can be obtained in the end if the potato bells are planted?

My own method can be said to be basically a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and what kind of breed can be obtained in the end is just a matter of luck.

Of course, the potatoes planted will never grow sweet potatoes, but at most we can only see how many potatoes this thing bears, whether they are big or not, and whether they taste good......

That's all!

Take disease resistance alone, there are no microorganisms in their own space to survive, and they don't know how to plant potatoes with this kind of seed at all.

Even if you don't think about this problem, you have to think about how this thing is different from the previous varieties when it is planted and managed in the outside world, and you don't have any experience in breeding, even if you know even the theoretical knowledge quite pitifully, where can you casually devote yourself to such a great thing for the benefit of all mankind?

Although there is one method and ten thousand methods, this biological research is to the extreme, and it is all about studying genetic material, introducing or combining the best and most suitable structural composition of this thing, but I don't have a systematic study of this at all, and it is good to know the gene expression of twenty kinds of amino acids, as for other functional groups, this is not too much cognition.

After all, I am not engaged in genetics at all, and this thing also needs to be systematically studied and practiced.

After thinking clearly, Xu Yi picked all the potato bells, crushed them and sowed all the seeds.

As for what the future holds for these seeds, who knows! (To be continued......
