Chapter 0401: Tiger Tooth Rice
The next day, Zhang Heng's idea was quickly implemented, in the middle of the afternoon, began to slaughter birds and birds one after another, the stomach was taken out and put in front of him, Zhang Heng was unequivocal, he had done this before, after the death of the livestock in the village for no reason, some villagers would cut open the stomach to see what the livestock had eaten, to determine whether it was disease or food poisoning, and finally whether the cause was found out or not, the internal organs would be thrown away, but the meat would still be eaten.
Perhaps because of this, villagers are more susceptible to serious diseases when they get old, and the formal practice is to burn or dig pits and sprinkle lime on such animals that die for no reason.
Su Xiu watched as the stomachs of different sizes were cut open by the Sun King, this kind of scene was even more terrifying than blood.
"Su Xiu, look, there really is rice!" Zhang Heng completely ignored the filth splashed on his face, and happily lifted a duck's stomach, which was half-cut open, and a few grains of grain inside were undoubtedly revealed.
"It's really!" Su Xiu jumped excitedly, because she proposed to find rice, and now that she really found it, her credit is boundless, the reward is secondary, the power she wants, and power is linked to prestige, and food is the easiest thing to increase prestige.
"Luck!" Zhang Heng's face was irrepressibly happy, and he quickly took out these grains carefully, and finally found that it was different, the grains in his hand were actually three times larger than the modern varieties now planted in the tribe, and the shape was neither oval nor straight, it was curved, one big and the other pointed, similar to animal teeth.
There were only seven grains in total, and Zhang Heng pinched the shell of one of them, which was very hard. But it's thin, and it's white on the inside. The color and texture of rice are incomparably different, although he does not have the courage of Da Wu Yan to taste a hundred herbs. But since this thing can be eaten by animals, of course people can eat it, without hesitation, he put it directly into his mouth, bit it into two pieces with his front teeth, and then chewed it, and spit it out again after a while, but the smile on his face did not decrease, and he laughed: "There is no mistake." That's the taste, it's even more fragrant than rice! ”
"This rice is so strange!" Su Xiu took one and observed it in his hand, suddenly showed his teeth on the side of his mouth, and said coquettishly: "Wang, you don't look like my little tiger teeth." ”
"Tiger teeth? Oh, you're saying that your two misaligned teeth don't look like rice grains at all! You should love candy when you are young, it doesn't grow well when you change your teeth, and if a girl's teeth don't grow well, it will affect the appearance. When you have time, you might as well fix it, some of the women in the village have gone to fix their misaligned teeth. Zhang Heng replied angrily that he didn't pay for his life.
This made Su Xiu so depressed that her cute pair of little tiger teeth were actually said to be misplaced teeth, and she was asked to go for plastic surgery. It's a shame that every time she laughs, she deliberately shows her tiger teeth.
Zhang Heng suddenly burst out laughing, "I'm kidding you, en." In the future, this kind of rice grain will be called tiger tooth rice, hehe! ”
"That's pretty much it!" Su Xiu replied a little shyly. She had already figured out that when the Sun King was joking, it meant that he was in a good mood. At this time, it doesn't matter if you can go over a little, the Sun King is basically impossible to get angry at this time.
Zhang Heng is not a king yet, but he let his subordinates ponder his character, which is not a good thing, but it can't be said to be a bad thing!
"The rice has been found, pass on my order, capture all the birds and birds in this vicinity, and leave the ducks!" Zhang Heng said in a cold voice.
Another three days passed, and the last batch of ducks released was also slaughtered by him, not slaughtered, the feathers on the wings were cut off, and they couldn't fly, and they had to wait for death when they were released, so he simply fulfilled him, at least the last batch contributed dozens of rice grains.
There are less than five hundred in total, and they can hold it with both hands, this is the harvest they have come out, and when they get it, they will naturally return quickly, and the fifth heavy snow loss may fall, and it will be difficult to move an inch at that time.
More than ten days later, the group braved the wind and snow to march back to the tribe, at this time it has just entered less than a month, and there is a long nearly three months, of which at least more than a month can not go out, the three teams of soldiers sent have not returned, it seems that they are preparing to spend the winter outside, Zhang Heng is not worried, if he can't come back, he can also find a place to hide from the wind and snow, and survive the coldest half a month, this can be regarded as an experience, so that the soldiers can adapt to any environment of combat.
The wars in ancient China had a winter break, Zhang Heng wanted to break this law, rain or shine, this is the original nature!
"Hurry up and call Lao He back for me!" The hundreds of millet in his hand can only be dried by the sun and the wind, and the fire source cannot be approached, nor can the temperature be too high, otherwise even if the seedlings can be cultivated, they will not be able to produce particles, which he still knows.
The old plant expert lives in the ginger tribe for a long time, because there is farmland there, and the seedlings will be cultivated after the winter.
A day later, Lao He rushed back to Taihao in the chariot, and the king's chariot was used, which naturally meant how urgent the matter was.
"This is rice?" Lao He looked at the particles in the dustpan and said uncertainly.
Zhang Heng said solemnly: "That's right, it took a lot of manpower and material resources for these grains, and four soldiers were also lost, and the price paid is not low, and now I want you to cultivate seedlings and multiply this rice in large quantities." ”
Lao He nodded, he was already happy to see the hunt, rice has always been a topic of life, from hybrid rice to the super rice that is now being studied, this is related to the food and clothing of human beings, if there can be a breakthrough, this will go down in history, even if it is just the history of the divine land, it is enough to make him excited.
"Wang, dare to ask, has this rice been named?" Lao He tried to eat one, his face was even more excited, he had been growing rice in the divine land for many years, and the quality of this rice was conservatively estimated to be more than three times higher, and it was such a special shape, the value was unpredictable.
"It's already there, it's called Huya rice, how about it, is it enough to use these as seeds?" Zhang Heng asked.
Lao He nodded and said: "There should be no problem, back then, Old Man Yuan was able to cultivate hybrid rice with just one rice plant, and we stepped on the shoulders of our predecessors, and it would be simple to cultivate it again." However, Wang, I would suggest that it is better to breed hybrid rice. ”
"Oh, how to say, I have also learned some about the benefits of hybrid rice in textbooks, high yield, good taste is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that the seeds can only be used for one generation, and it will not work in the second generation, if so, is it a little troublesome to cultivate seeds in the future." Zhang Heng naturally wants to do it once and for all, so why bother making trouble for himself.
"Wang, listen to me in detail, the composition of hybrid rice is divided into three lines: male sterile line, maintenance line and restorer line, these three lines of rice are indispensable, as long as you control the most critical line, you can promote this rice to the earth and monopolize the industry!" Lao He actually said this is what he meant.
This made Zhang Heng frown, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "You tell me in detail about the cultivation process of hybrid rice!" ”
