Chapter 337: Sprouting Brown Rice
"Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you again. The last time we took the samples, we tested them, and the quality of the rice was greatly improved compared to the same variety of rice cultivated in other regions. We have already brought this quality inspection report this time. I think if you want to sell rice in the future, it will be useful. And I can prove it myself. ”
Yuan Lao thought very thoughtfully, the test report issued by the Rice Research Institute was much more authoritative than any testing agency, and Yuan Lao's certificate could not be bought with money.
Although Laiwang doesn't understand business, he can still understand such a simple truth.
"Thank you so much. If Yuan Lao advertises for us, it will be more effective than any big star. Laiwang said.
"However, I think that your cultivation area is still relatively limited, and such a good rice should be further processed to increase the added value of the product. It's also a good way for you to sell as brown rice now. However, brown rice is not the most nutritious way. Sprouting brown rice is the most nutritious way. Sprouted brown rice is not only nutritious, but also has the effect of preventing high blood pressure and lowering blood sugar and blood lipids when eaten for a long time. In this way, the value of rice has been further enhanced. Yuan Lao said.
"Not really. Can you still eat sprouted rice? "Laiwang is a little confused. As far as he knew, when the rice was harvested in the past, when the weather was bad, the millet would sprout when it was wet with rain, and the sprouted millet would soon spoil. Therefore, farming is completely dependent on the sky for food, and even if it is received by the family, it cannot be regarded as its own. Laiwang now has a dryer, so naturally there is no need to worry about these problems.
Yuan Lao said with a smile, "The most essential part of rice nutrition is concentrated in the germ. However, the germ is often destroyed by normal processing methods. Brown rice can preserve the germ, but it is not good enough. Sprouted brown rice retains the precious treasure trove of rice nutrients - germ and rice bran layer. After germination. The effective nutrients of rice are not only not lost, but also greatly improved and activated. Sprouted rice is rich in nutrients, and the nutrients contained in it are low except for the glyco-simulated white rice. Protein, fat, vitamin B1, vitamin E are higher than white rice, especially brown rice after the enzymes in the rice are fully activated, which can lower blood pressure, stabilize nerves, improve kidney and liver function, and inhibit cancer cells. ”
"Oops, this sprouted rice is so good. In the past, everyone used to feed the germinated rice to the pigs, which is a pity. In this way, isn't this sprouted rice a medicine? "Laiwang is very exaggerated.
Yuan Lao laughed, "Of course, this sprouted rice is not simple. There is a number of patented technologies involved. It is not that sprouted rice is nutritious. And this sprouted rice is easy to spoil if it is not handled properly. The islanders were the first to develop the technology of germinating rice. The entire processing technology involves dozens of patents. However, our rice research institute has also developed its own technology for germinating brown rice. ”
Yuan Lao is very proud that we are not in a backward position in the research of rice.
"That's good. In the future, we can also process the rice and sell it as sprouted brown rice. However, the production is still relatively low, mainly for our own restaurants. Laiwang said.
"I know. I often go to your Fuwang home for dinner. The food in Fuwang Homes is really good. Not enough, I still hope that in the future you will be able to sell your organic sprouted brown rice at Fuwang Farm. Yuan Lao smiled.
"Old Yuan, if you want to eat. I'll have Fuwang Farm deliver it directly to your home. These dishes are all grown by us. If you need it, we can supply it openly. Laiwang said.
"That's not going to work. I still go to the store and buy it myself. It's not easy for you to do this kind of farming. I'm not bad for money now, it's very good if you do a good job on the farm and drive the villagers to get rich. Yuan Lao said.
Laiwang nodded. "Old Yuan, don't worry, my farm will continue to work."
"Xiao Zhao, let's come this time. I'm here to learn. Your rice yield here is even higher than our test plot. The most important thing is that the rice seeds you have here have been mutated, and they are good mutations. Yields have been greatly improved. So, we're coming to your farm now to learn. Don't hide your secrets. Yuan Lao smiled.
"Yuan Lao. You saw it too. I don't usually manage farmland. I don't know exactly what caused the mutation of rice. But don't worry. I will be sure to get the farm to cooperate with your research. Laiwang said.
Professor Luo had just gone to the field for a field trip, and at this time, he happened to come back.
"Laiwang, introduce you to an expert. This is Professor Luo, who is an expert in rice cultivation. He is definitely the most authoritative expert in our country in terms of rice cultivation. Yuan Lao said.
"Professor Luo, this young man is the owner of the farm I told you, Comrade Xiao Zhao." Yuan Lao enthusiastically introduced Wang to Professor Luo.
"Hello, Professor Luo. Welcome to our Zhaojiatun. Laiwang said.
"I'm here to learn. Your cultivation techniques are some of the most powerful I've ever seen. Ecological agriculture has been truly realized. The ecological environment of this farmland has reached its most perfect condition. Your rice and fish farming are very well combined. Not only fish is raised, but rice is also highly productive. This three-dimensional planting method is very worthy of reference. Professor Luo said.
"It's about to be harvested, can you set aside a piece for us to study?" Yuan Lao asked.
"Absolutely." Laiwang agreed.
"That's good." Yuan Lao was very happy.
"Jade Dragon, come over here." Lai Wang called the jade dragon over.
"What? Laiwang, what's the matter? Zhao Yulong asked.
"Go catch some fish and try the taste of this rice field fish when you eat today." Laiwang said.
"Originally, we were going back to town for dinner at noon. Since Xiao Zhao is so polite, I won't be polite to you. Yuan Lao smiled.
"Exactly. When you eat with us, you are giving us the greatest help. Later, I will ask our propagandists to take good pictures and use them for publicity in the future, which is much better than any international star. Lai Wang said with a smile.
Professor Luo smiled, "Isn't Yuan Lao an international star?" He's a big star in science, especially in agriculture! ”
"That's right. Yuan Lao is a big star. Our Fuwang Farm is also stained with Yuan Lao's star light. Laiwang laughed.
"Let me promote your farm, no problem. Today, you can't do without monkey wine. Yuan Lao smiled.
"That's fine. Yuan Lao, don't underestimate the fish raised in my rice fields. It's not your average crucian carp. Laiwang said.
"Oh, is it? Tell me what kind of fish you have here? Yuan Lao asked.
"I mainly keep two kinds of fish here. One is the Chinese sturgeon, and the other is the Yangtze River saury. Loaches and yellow eels are all native to our Zhaojiatun. I didn't specifically raise them, but there are quite a few of them. Tonight, we're going to have a whole fish feast. Laiwang said.
"Huh, huh? But don't eat your Chinese sturgeon and saury. This thing is too valuable. You can take it and sell it for money. The loach eel is very good. Yuan Lao said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I have a lot of saury here. After all of them are reserved for fish seedlings today, the farm will be massively expanded next year, and in the future, all the fields will be raised with saury and sturgeon, and some more precious fish will be added. What fish is worth. We'll raise whatever we want. Next winter, it will be available for sale on a large scale! Laiwang said.
"Well, let's have the luxury of tasting what the saury tastes like here, and I've eaten it many years ago. But at that time, I didn't feel that the saury was anything special, but I didn't expect that the saury has become a luxury now. Yuan Lao said.
Luo Lao also smiled, "In the past, this saury was a very ordinary fish. Let's talk about loaches, when we used to be in the countryside, loaches were cheaper. And it was especially easy to catch loaches at that time. It's easy to go out and catch a few pounds of loaches. Now the farmed loaches are dozens of dollars a catty. This wild loach is simply not eaten. ”
"That's enough for today's wild loaches. In my field, I can turn out a few catties of loaches at will. Laiwang said.
"I saw it just now, there are a lot of loach holes in the field. I thought it was strange how there were so many loach holes in this field, but I didn't expect that there were really loaches. Professor Luo said.
"Loaches reproduce quickly. I haven't used pesticides in my farmland here. The loaches bred all at once. Laiwang said.
"That's right. In the past, when water was released in the fields, the loaches would wander all over the canals, and at one point, they would be able to pick up a lot of loaches on the road. "Professor Luo is very nostalgic for the old days.
Zhao Yulong asked someone to go back and get the fishing net, and when he caught the fish, everyone gathered around.
The canal was full of water, and because there were fish in the ditch, the water was not very clear, and it was not clear to see if there were any fish in it.
One of the fish catchers is holding a fishing cage and catching the fish, and the two people slowly approach with the fish cage.
"Whoa!"
When the fish cage began to move, it was as if the pot had exploded in the canal.
"There are fish! There are fish! The young man who caught the fish said excitedly.
"What are you excited about? When the water was released that day, the fish in the canal were all in groups! Zhao Yulong said disdainfully.
"This fish is so big, it's so impulsive!" The young man said.
"Sturgeon are a few pounds each. It's no wonder that the momentum is not great. Take it easy, and don't let all the fish in the cage run away. Zhao Yulong said.
"Field Chief, you can rest assured. I used to be a veteran fisherman. This fish can't run. The man said.
"This isn't a stupid fish in a pond. The fish in here are wild. The village cats secretly ran into the fields to catch fish, and they didn't even get a single scale for a long time. Zhao Yulong said with a smile. (To be continued......)
