Chapter 317: Rice Planting
The hot air balloon performance caused a sensation throughout Lin'an, and Li Xiang's fame soared again, and not long after, Lu Shiya and Shi Bingxue's rice also bore fruit. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At that time, this batch of rice seeds was originally divided into two parts, one was given to Yuru and Lu Shiya, and the other was given to Shi Bingxue. Yuru and Lu Shiya's share was planted in the paddy field in the backyard, but Li Xiang has been too busy recently, so he hasn't checked it for a long time, and Yuru and Lu Shiya are also in a hurry to copy the book, and seeing that Li Xiang is very busy, they naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it. As for the other batch of seeds, they were planted in the Ice and Snow Villa, Li Xiang remembered that when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, Shi Bingxue seemed to say that these rice seeds were about to be harvested, I don't know what the situation was on her side?
Li Xiang couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard that it was Shi Bingxue who was talking just now, thinking to himself how could Shi Bingxue find his own home? While thinking about it, Li Xiang had slowly walked into the living room, but saw three women sitting next to the table, facing him sitting Yuru, and the other two were Shi Bingxue and Lingzhu. Seeing Li Xiang come in, Yuru smiled and said, "Brother, Miss Shi is here, and she also brought the freshly harvested ears of rice, we are discussing a comparison to see who has harvested more ears of rice." As she spoke, Yuru stretched out her hand and pointed to the table
。 Li Xiang followed her gesture and looked, and sure enough, he saw four small baskets on the table, the lids of these four blue baskets had been opened, and some ears of rice were neatly placed inside, and in order to prevent the rice grains from falling out of the gaps in the baskets, a few pieces of cloth were placed underneath. When I looked at Shi Bingxue again, I saw that she had changed her outfit today, she was dressed as an official lady, she looked extremely noble, and she had a bright smile on her face.
Li Xiang saw that there were so many rice ears in the four baskets on the table, and said happily: "There were not many rice seeds in the last batch, but I didn't expect that after sowing this time, I would harvest so many rice ears, which seems to be more than ten times more than last year, right?" Shi Bingxue was stunned at first, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Where, this is only a small part of it." I sowed seeds according to the method you said, and calculated that less than ten catties of rice seeds per mu were used, and the number of rice seeds last time was limited, so only a very small paddy field was planted, not even half an acre, but after today's harvest, I was shocked, I asked Hu Bo to roughly estimate, and now all kinds of rice seeds add up, there are nearly three hundred catties, I just took some of them casually. By the way, how do you see these ears of rice growing? ”
Li Xiang's face turned red when he heard this, and then he remembered that the yield of rice should not be so much, but he remembered that the original batch of rice seeds was only seven or eight catties in total, and the weight of the Song Dynasty was more than ten catties, but he didn't expect that now only half of Shi Bingxue has harvested three hundred catties, so it seems that with this part of his backyard, a total of five or six hundred catties of harvest should be achieved, so isn't it nearly seventy times? In fact, hybrid rice in later generations usually needed five to ten kilograms of rice seeds per mu, and the yield per mu ranged from 500 to 1,000 kilograms, so his current harvest is not high.
Li Xiang didn't know how big the rice ears were to grow well, and when he heard Shi Bingxue ask, he nodded and said, "Well, this rice ear should grow well, right, Yuru?" ”
Yuru pointed to one of the baskets and said with a smile: "Brother, look at these rice ears, the ears are neat, the grains are many and full, I don't know how many times stronger than ordinary rice, how can they be said to be good?" It should be good, pretty good, too good to be true. ”
Yuru is talking about one of the baskets of rice ears. According to the information found by Li Xiang in the book, the breeding field of hybrid rice should produce four rice varieties, three of which are the male and female parents used to breed hybrid rice seeds again, and the remaining one is the hybrid rice seed that can be used for direct planting.
Shi Bingxue said with a smile: "This batch of rice not only has large ears, but also insect pests are extremely rare, and more importantly, there is almost no lodging phenomenon, so the natural harvest is more than twice as high as that of ordinary rice." Moreover, according to the booklet, this is only the mother and father of the rice seeds, if this new batch of rice seeds is planted again, I am afraid that the harvest will be better. ”
Li Xiang followed: "This is nature, this kind of rice is originally lodging-resistant. Li Xiang opened his mouth, as if rice had a saying that it was resistant to lodging in his memory, and it was used indiscriminately at the moment.
As he was talking, he saw Lu Shiya serving tea again, and several people hurriedly thanked him. Shi Bingxue just finished drinking the tea, and then he couldn't wait, and said: "Miss Yuru, according to the time, this batch of rice seeds of yours should be harvested now, and there is nothing to do now, why don't we go and see it first, if the time is ripe, I will help you cut this batch of rice ears together, right?" ”
Yuru turned her head to look at Li Xiang and Lu Shiya, and saw that neither of them had any objections, so she nodded and smiled: "Okay!" It's just such a rough job as harvesting rice, how dare Miss Lao Shi drive it, why don't I call some other people. ”
Shi Bingxue shook his head and said: "Although it is superficial farm work, it is not difficult for me, don't look at the batch of rice ears I brought today is only a dozen catties, but it is all harvested by me and Lingzhu." ”
Li Xiang also wanted to know the harvest of this batch of rice seeds, so he smiled and said: "In this case, it is better to harvest it today, it just so happens that Miss Shi is also here, just to see how many rice seeds have been harvested in total." ”
In fact, Li Xiang didn't know when the rice should be harvested, and he didn't know what the impact of harvesting in advance was, thinking that since Shi Bingxue had finished harvesting, presumably the rice ears planted by Yuru should also be ripe, and he himself couldn't wait.
Yuru heard Li Xiang say this, and also smiled: "Then let's go first, you take a sip of tea and rest first, and come over with Sister Shiya to have a look." With that, Yuru and Shi Bingxue left the living room and went straight to the backyard, Lingzhu also followed with a smile, and called a group of people outside the door to help.
At this time, only Li Xiang and Lu Shiya were left in the room, and Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Shiya, I remember that I said before that this batch of seeds was originally divided into two parts, one of which was given to you and Yuru, and the other was given to this Miss Shi, but I didn't expect her to come uninvited today......
When Li Xiang said this, he was quite embarrassed, obviously worried that Lu Shiya wanted to be crooked. Unexpectedly, Lu Shiya suddenly smiled and said: "This is very good, Miss Shi is already good at farm work, and there is a ready-made manor for planting, so naturally she should be given a share, the person who comes is a guest, why don't you hurry up and drink tea and go to see it together?" ”
Li Xiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Lu Shiya thought, but he didn't see anything abnormal in her expression, so he was a little relieved, and thought about harvesting rice seeds, so he took the tea on the table and drank it all, and pulled Lu Shiya to the backyard together.
When the two walked to the backyard, they saw that several people brought by Shi Bingxue had already harvested in the field, Yuru and Shi Bingxue were also among them, and Lu Shiya saw this, and she and Lingzhu also took a basket to help. (To be continued.) )
