After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wenbo and Wenhao went to the academy by themselves, and Li Xin also took his two younger sisters back to Osmanthus Village.

Walking in the village, at a glance, there are rice swaying everywhere. At this time, the ears of rice are already very long, and it should not take long to be harvested. Li Xin also went to look at his own field, two kinds of rice, the seeds grown in this era are no different from those of others. The plants are tall, but the ears are not long, and there are few tillers, so it is conceivable that the yield must be low.

This is the difference between rice in this era and the previous life! And the part of the rice ears planted from the seeds brought over in the previous life has turned yellow, and it seems that it is ready to be harvested. There are a lot of rice ears in each plant, and there are many grains on the ears, and the long ears of rice are some unsupportably hooked down, and you can see that the yield must be very high. Li Xin folded an ear and looked at it carefully in his hand. To her, a lot of rice seemed to be similar, and she really couldn't tell what kind of variety it was.

Although the production is high now, I am afraid that it is only this year. If it is a hybrid rice, it cannot be planted, and it will be extinct after a year. However, in the previous life, conventional rice was crowded out by hybrid rice, and almost no one cultivated conventional rice, and it was difficult to buy conventional rice in places where grain seeds were sold. The possibility that this is conventional rice is really small.

After all, she came out of the agricultural university, and she still knows a lot about food crops. In fact, since the advent of hybrid rice, it can be said that it has developed rapidly, and the planting area has also grown rapidly, and gradually, the concept of hybrid rice is better has also taken root in people's hearts. Because of the shortcomings of less tillering and troublesome management, conventional rice has almost gradually been eliminated by hybrid rice. Hybrid rice has more tillers, less seeds per mu, and the management is coarse and coarse, and it does not take too much labor, so many people still prefer to plant hybrid rice.

The cultivation area of conventional rice is decreasing, and the habit of growing conventional rice is almost only retained in some areas that specialize in cultivating high-quality rice and in alpine areas where hybrid rice cannot be cultivated. It is also because there are still areas where conventional rice is grown, and conventional rice has not been completely replaced by hybrid rice.

The specialty of conventional rice is that it is adapted to a wider range of areas, the taste of rice is better, and the price of rice seeds is quite cheap, which can enable rice farmers to greatly reduce the planting cost. However, conventional rice breeding itself suffers from market challenges: long breeding time and large investment of human and financial resources; Intellectual property rights are difficult to protect, and the market economy returns are low. For this reason, some conventional rice breeding units have given up conventional rice breeding.

However, there are also some people who are not afraid of difficulties and have been unremittingly breeding a large number of high-quality rice varieties for decades. Li Xin had also paid attention to conventional rice before, because the quality of rice was very good, and she also thought that if the yield of conventional rice could be improved, there must still be many people willing to plant it. She had heard of the "Tsubara 45", which caused a shock in the national breeding field, with a high-yield field of about 800 kilograms. It is resistant to rice blast, striped leaf blight, rice planthopper and other diseases and insect pests, and won the second prize of national new variety breeding.

However, cultivating conventional rice has no return for researchers, and the return is almost far lower than the effort. Because conventional rice can keep its own seeds, unlike hybrid rice, which needs to be bought every year, the next year's rice seeds are almost unsold. Moreover, intellectual property rights are not protected, and many people breed seeds to sell without authorization. This is also the reason why many enterprises are unwilling to spend money and effort to develop conventional rice varieties, and even more reluctant to operate conventional rice varieties.

However, thinking about it, the cultivation of conventional rice should slowly recover, because "high yield" is not the "patent" of hybrid rice, "high quality" is the eternal "**" of conventional rice, and the low cost of conventional rice can definitely mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers for planting. Conventional rice can be retained the seeds the following year, which saves the cost of seeds, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers for conventional rice is also less.

Li Xin hopes that these are excellent conventional rice, but it is not up to her to have the final say, so let's try again next year!

After taking a turn in the sky to see how the crops were growing, she went home.

Two days later, Shopkeeper Sun sent his men over, naturally for those cherry tomatoes. The output of pumpkins is gradually decreasing, and Li Xin also wants to keep some old pumpkins, so there are fewer and fewer tender pumpkins to pick, and there are fewer guys. Shopkeeper Sun was careful, and asked the guy to pull some flower pots over. Li Xin and his buddies also went to the vegetable garden to dig up some cherry tomatoes and transplant them into flower pots. There wasn't much cherry tomatoes to spare, so Li Xin let him dig up some big tomatoes.

The guy was also surprised when he looked at the red tomato, this fruit is really beautiful. Li Xin asked him to pick some and eat them, the taste was not much worse than the cherry tomatoes, but the fruit was bigger, and it did not have the petite and delicate feeling of the cherry tomatoes. However, there are also great benefits, eating raw water, the juice inside is sweet and sour and very delicious.

After the transplanting was completed, Li Xin picked a basket of tomatoes and peppers in a basket and asked Yuexiang and Yueting to take care of the house, while she carried the basket and her men to the town in a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xin felt that he should also buy a carriage. Originally, the family was all children, and so was she, but her mind was mature, but her body was still young! It's slow and tiring. It would be different if there was a carriage, and it would be easier to get anywhere.

But it's a bit troublesome to drive a carriage, she drove a carriage in her previous life, but she can't necessarily drive a carriage! Horses are disobedient animals after all. But let's wait! Now that the family is building a new house and buying a house in the town, it has made I don't know how many people are red-eyed, and if they buy a carriage again, they won't let some people envy to death! I don't know what trouble to get into yet!

The family is all children, so let's keep a low profile! After all, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!

It's really not good at all that you can't be bold enough to spend money. It's still very bad to have no adults at home, and I don't know if it's good to hire someone in the family. You still have to think about it, if you can hire an adult at home, you can feel more at ease. However, hiring people should also be carefully considered, and they must always be trustworthy people!

It didn't take long for me to arrive at the Pin Xiang Pavilion. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets seem to have returned to their old ways. However, the osmanthus in autumn has not yet bloomed, so the fragrance of osmanthus on the street has not disappeared. The fragrance of osmanthus is permeating, a simple town, but it is like a fairyland.
