Volume 3 Chapter 23 Tia is Beginning to Grow Up
In the kitchen, Li Sheng was cutting meat, and Tia was peeling a potato in her hand. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Common potatoes are white or beige. But the one in Tia's hand is purple in skin and black in flesh.
In fact, black potatoes are not nothing, they have been artificially cultivated in China, and the planting area is not small. at
Potatoes are a high-starch food that contains micro-toxicity and has a fairly high yield. With a yield of about 1,500 kilograms per mu, it is a high-yield grain and one of the world's four major staple grains. In China, potatoes began to be regarded as a staple food in 15 years. There must be an element of response to the food security situation.
It stands to reason that although potatoes are native to South America, they are produced in alpine areas, and the temperature in Silent Farm is too high to be cultivated.
But what Li Sheng found from the space is produced in high-temperature areas, and it is suitable to take it out and plant it. This black potato is different from the artificial hybridization of Huaxia, and it is completely a natural product. The yield is relatively low, with only about 1,000 to 1,200 kilograms per mu. They are also relatively small, with the largest being no larger than the size of a goose egg. But it has the advantage that the stems and leaves are poisonous like the outside, but the root is almost non-toxic.
Although the toxicity of potato roots is not very strong, and when cooked at high temperatures, or after cooking with vinegar, the toxicity will basically disappear, but there are always surprises. For example, doctors will advise pregnant women to eat as little potatoes as possible. So it's better to be not poisonous than to be poisonous.
Li Sheng didn't plan to take potatoes as a commodity. He just planted some for his own consumption in the field not far from his villa. In addition, some were planted on other cultivated land for the workers, and there was no intention of planting them in large quantities.
The two of them were talking, and they were each doing their own thing. Tia said some interesting things about the school and the Jilolo tribe, and of course Li Sheng had to save face.
Tonight Tia mentioned the Gilolo tribe, and Li Sheng remembered a previous plan. The kitchen knife in his hand paused and turned back and asked, "The men of your tribe know all bows and arrows?"
"Well, in the forest, if you want to eat meat, you have to hunt, or catch fish during the rainy season. If you don't know how to hunt, you'll be looked down upon. Boys learn to bow and arrow from the age of six. Tia talked about things in the tribe, and remembered that Li Sheng was in the tribe for a few days, and he could hunt prey every day, which made the tribe people very respectful. She was happy to think about it.
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't it a farming slack now? If we organize a bow and arrow competition, what do you say?"
"The competition must be fun. "Bow and arrow competitions also happen in the tribe, but usually just a few people have a fight. If you can organize a tournament where everyone can see, it will definitely be lively.
Tia put down the potato, looked at Li Sheng, and said with excitement on her face, "They will definitely be happy." Is it just that we participate?" the people of Gilolo love nothing more than having such a big party. Ever since the food was abundant, they have been hosting a bonfire almost every week. That's almost impossible in the forest.
Li Sheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, I want everyone who wants to participate, such as the villagers of Orichmina, and the workers on the farm." He thought about it, and the Saura tribe, who had already decided to work with the farm for tourism, could also involve them if they wished. "If people from other places want to participate, of course they can. ”
"That's when it's going to be a game. I'll be good dad tomorrow, they say. Tia thinks it's a good thing, it allows her people to come into contact with people from other places, and better integrate them into the world.
Tia is probably the most knowledgeable person in the Girolo tribe who knows the world. She knew that since the tribe had relocated, it would definitely come into contact with the world, and if she wanted to survive in this world, she had to work hard to breathe and heartbeat with this world. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be eliminated.
"I'll put Thomas in touch with the people of Saura first. When it will be held depends on the situation. ”
It will only be about 20 days at most. It should be too late.
This matter came to an end for the time being, and Li Sheng started chopping vegetables again, saying, "You can find a time to talk to your father about this matter." If you finish in the top five, I'll give them a bow that your dad is using. ”
When Tia heard this, she laughed too. Her father's bow was much stronger than the tribal bows, so now her father was always very nervous, because he always had more catches from hunting. Every time she went back, she would listen to him boast about himself.
However, she felt that Li Sheng would definitely be better at hunting than her father.
The two of them had a busy meal. After Li Sheng toyed around in the room for a while, he took his notebook and found Tia who was watching TV in the living room.
He sat next to Tia, put his notebook on the coffee table and said, "Tia, which plane do you think is better to buy?"
As he spoke, he showed Tia the downloaded pictures one by one.
Tia had been out of the jungle for a while and had learned a lot, but she was not familiar with airplanes. Looking at the plane on the picture, it feels like it should be big. Because those planes are very different from the same fixed-wing propeller planes on the farm, at least the planes have more wheels under them, and the planes in the pictures are much larger than the people.
She didn't understand these big planes, but asked a little strangely, "Are there not enough planes on the farm? ”
When Li Sheng heard this, he smiled and said, "The planes on the farm can only fly a short distance. I want to buy an airplane that can fly farther. In the future, you can fly directly to any place in the world on your own plane. ”
"Oh. But I don't know about these planes. ”
Li Sheng didn't think she could make any suggestions. And even if he really wants to buy an airplane, it's not now. But now he is excited, clicking on one of the photos and saying: "There are several ultra-long-range aircraft that can be called." But these are the only ones that are relatively new. ”
He clicked on the world's largest passenger plane, and there were only three options in his book, including the Airbus A380, as well as the A350 and Boeing 787. These are wide-body aircraft that can fly long distances.
However, he is most optimistic about the A350. 787 has had a lot of problems, and security is a little worrying. Although the A380 is large and has a larger range, the fuel consumption is too high, about twice as high as the A350. And A350, there is now a one that can fly more than 15,000 kilometers, and the plane is big enough, this is also the latest model of the three aircraft, although the length and width ratio of more than ten times the fuselage, the appearance is relatively ugly, but he still prefers this one.
It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to pay for fuel, but after the completion of the farm's runway, the three planes can take off and land normally, and the farm needs to refuel the planes at that time, and the fuel volume can be reduced by half, which is of course a good thing.
And the interior space of the A350 he fancy is far less than that of the A380, but the various function rooms should not be reduced after the modification.
It's a pity that although Tia listened to what he said with a smile, she didn't really understand it. After Li Sheng finished talking about her opinion on the three types of flights, she pursed her lips and said, "Such an aircraft is very expensive." "She already knows exactly what money does.
Li Sheng was stunned, of course these planes are very expensive. An A350 costs more than $100 million, and that's still an ordinary airliner. If it is converted into a private jet, it is more luxurious, how can it go to more than 300 million, or even 400 million.
Thinking about it now, he was also a little distressed. Although he is quite rich, he can spend 300 million US dollars to buy a plane that can't fly a few times a year, which seems to be a bit of a feeling of poverty and luxury.
Ali has a large private jet. But that's just the A330. And people have money to spend, and they can spend six billion dollars to build a pool - of course, gold will always be there. Li Sheng: What does he compare with others?
It's just that it's really not very convenient to travel without a private jet like that, and he is likely to run to Europe and Asia often in the future, and always go to the big cities over there to ride the fee, which is too troublesome.
He hesitated for a while, finally turned off the photo, sighed and said, "I'll think about it again." ”
Seeing him like this, Tia said a little timidly, "I don't understand." Buy it if you want. ”
Li Sheng smiled and touched her head and said, "I also think it's a bit expensive." Anyway, it's not right away, so think about it again. ”
Tia then laughed again and said, "Lee, I beg you for one thing. ”
"Please, what's the matter?" Li Sheng was a little strange. When she said anything, he never refused. If she wants to use the word today, can she still have any big problems that she can't solve?
Tia hugged him by the arm and said with a little flattery, "Can you teach my dad to grow potatoes in the future?"
Li Sheng was a little uncomfortable and gently pulled out the arm she was holding, hiding his embarrassment and said, "That's it?"
Tia looked at him with a blank eye and nodded: "Potatoes are more productive than cassava, and they are also tastier." ”
Li Sheng didn't think about it and said, "I'll let Cheng Dong arrange it." However, it will not be planted until the end of the next rainy season. ”
Tia gave a cheerful application, tugged at his arm again, and said, "Yes." As long as they learn to grow potatoes, and sweet potatoes, they won't go hungry anymore. ”
Li Sheng drew his arm again without a trace. No, no, this girl has begun to develop, but it hasn't reached the scale of wearing bra yet, and the weather is hot, and the two of them are wearing very thin. It's grinding, and it feels a little strong.
"Don't worry. As long as the farm is still there, I won't let them starve. After all, I asked them to relocate. ”
Tia pouted slightly, but her expression was still very happy: "That's different." People who can't support themselves will one day be eliminated by this world. ”
When Li Sheng heard her words, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: This girl has only been out of the forest for more than a year, but she understands a lot of things.
She is right, no matter whether any nation can produce enough food on its own, must have the ability to feed itself. Otherwise, they can only exist on the edge of the world forever, and once there is any turmoil, the people who are most likely to be eliminated by the world are those who are like that. And the safest are those who can meet their own food needs. As long as it is not food that cannot be produced, no matter what happens to the world, otherwise they will not be extinct because of hunger.
That's why so many countries around the world are taking food security seriously. Perhaps this is also the reason why Huaxia began to promote the staple food of potatoes.
Solving the problem of hunger is indeed the most basic problem for all people.
