Chapter 402: The Harvest Season (1)

The new generation of steam engines has been transformed five times, not that the design of this generation of steam engines is unreasonable, but that Yang Heng is testing the best working conditions, after all, he was not a mechanical major in his previous life, right.

Every adjustment is only a small adjustment, such as the time of air intake, the time of air out, it is estimated that these things, even some masters of the initial design, will not let this thing achieve the best work efficiency in one step.

Slowly, Yang Heng's old habit came again, that is, to hand things over to his subordinates, he went to the side for a stroll, but just like that, he was not idle.

"Xiao Langjun, there is a call from the mountain, let you take a look, what is the crop that is ripe now." The housekeeper came to Yang Heng's side and reported.

"Well, that's good, I'll go right away." Yang Heng agreed casually, he thought, what kind of crop is it, he is busy with the steam engine these days, and he is a little busy.

Ah, by the way, is it about corn and peppers, but this corn and peppers, I seem to have promised something, by the way, it has something to do with this kind of get.

The seed was brought by Hai Dongqing's family of three, but why did Hai Dongqing get this seed, by the way, it's a baby, it's a game between the baby and Hai Dongqing, that is, I seem to have promised the baby or something, it's not a long time, how can I forget it.

Forget it, let's find the baby, now she should get out of school, see what she says.

"Big brother, you're here, and I haven't seen you for months." When the baby saw Yang Heng's arrival, he happily threw himself into Yang Heng's arms.

"Baby, they're all big kids. It's so naughty. Yang Heng stroked the baby's head dotingly. Eldest brother. The baby will always be a child in front of the eldest brother, that is, the baby is eighty years old, and he is also the little sister of the eldest brother. ”

"Oh, baby, when did you learn to be so philosophical?" "What, this is what my mother said, my mother said, it's the baby is ninety. In the eyes of the mother, he is still a child, and the baby just moved the mother's words over. "That, but Yang Heng was shocked, how old does the old lady want to live, and it is really ambitious to see the baby live to be ninety years old. This, what does it have to do with ambition?

"Baby, the seeds you let Hai Dongqing bring have matured." "Ah, really, the baby wants to follow the eldest brother to see the ripe grain." I see. It's just that the baby wants to see what this food looks like.

That's easy, just bring this group of children with you.

"Big brother. Is the corn also a pearl cob, and the pepper is still the same dry appearance? Along the way, the baby kept chattering.

"Shame on me, don't say I know you," other children because they haven't seen it, so their curiosity is smaller, at first, when the baby asked, they also listened curiously, but the baby asked dozens of times along the way, and they all generally felt that their ears were calloused.

"Baby, the outside of the corn cob is covered with green skin, and naturally there are some white or yellow skins, and there are some whiskers on the head. As for the chili pepper, it has a long red shape, which is beautiful. Seeing that the baby was anxious, Yang Heng had no choice but to answer her over and over again.

"Ah, here it is, corn, corn, where." When the car stopped, the baby did not wait for the coachman to open the door and put the ladder, but opened the door and jumped down by himself.

"Baby, be careful, don't fall." Yang Heng looked at the baby worriedly, in fact, Yang Heng was a little worried, how high is this carriage, they used to take the ladder when they got off the car, but it was just for the sake of image, in the baby's words, I am a little lady, how can I be like a crazy girl.

As a result, behind the people, she was really a crazy girl, it seemed that the coachman also knew about this matter, but she didn't come to the back, the children jumped down like dumplings, Yang Heng shook his head helplessly, it seems that this group of children has always been like this.

"Owner, baby lady, you are here, the corn is over there." At this time, the old farmer was already waiting on the side.

"Let's take a look." "Owner, this corn is really a good thing, you see, some of them have three cobs, and they are all generally large, and there are many of them, according to my estimates, the yield per mu of this corn can reach the level of 700 catties." Seven hundred catties, is already a lot, Yang Heng remembers that the corn yield in the previous life is more than 2,000 catties, if the acres of land in this era are compared with the previous life, one mu in this era is slightly smaller, so that the yield per mu is eight hundred catties, you must know that this is a relatively primitive corn seed, but it is not a high-yield corn in later generations, if it goes through several generations of breeding, then, it is possible to reach more than 1,000 catties per mu, this, I seem to look at the information in my previous life, that is, in the origin of corn, at this time, it has just been formed, But now it is really a god to be able to achieve such a high yield, forget it, don't think about it, isn't it good to have a high yield.

"Baby, you break the first one first, it's your credit." "Uh-huh, uh-huh, baby-break first." The baby understood quickly, and broke off a corn cob, "What's next." "Peel it off." "Oh." Layer by layer, the baby peeled the outer skin of the corn, the initial outer skin was green with yellowish white, and then the color became lighter and lighter, and finally, the last layer was white.

"Ah, big brother, what a beautiful pearl corn cob." This, naturally, is different, the corn cob that was broken at the beginning of the year still has moisture, so the particles are very full, which makes people feel good-looking when they look at it, this cob, Yang Heng feels that it can be half the size of the corn cob in the previous life, and this is just enough to match the output of seven or eight white catties.

"You, since you're here, break one by one, and you." Yang Heng first said it to the children, because he saw the children's eagerness, and then said it to the old farmers, and he himself also gently broke off a corn cob, and after breaking it, he peeled off the corn husk, and then kept a few skins and tied a knot on his head.

"You see, you have to look like this, hang them on a pole and let them dry slowly."

The yield of this corn is not very high, why, there are more than 100 seeds in itself, some of which are not out, and there are those that do not grow well in the middle, naturally, it can be matched with a seed, a cob, and even, after all the seeds are peeled, there are a few more tender cobs.

"Okay, hang up all these ripe ones, and these immature ones, put them in the pot and boil them, everyone present, everyone can taste this new species." "Oh, great, big brother......" The baby suddenly remembered that the eldest brother didn't let her say long live, so the last two words were forced back.

"Well, the baby can eat a stick alone, remember, we eat these few, and these, next year still need to be planted, absolutely will not be used to eat, and, arrange for someone to collect these straws, let the breeding place to pull away, see what effect it is used to feed horses and cattle, ah yes." Suddenly, Yang Heng remembered something, took out a small knife from his body, and cut a pole that he thought was good.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" The baby was very curious and looked at a pole that Yang Heng peeled off. "Here, taste." At the same time that Yang Heng sent it to the baby, he also put it in his mouth, yes, it was really the taste in his memory, there was a faint sweetness, he remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, his favorite thing was this kind of thing, after the corn was harvested, he would take the pole and taste it slowly.

"Well, it's delicious, it's sweet." The baby's eyes bent into laughter, and his mouth moved without idleness, as did the other children, "Uh-huh, well, it's really sweet." ”

"Okay, like this, chop a few and let the kids chew and play." Since the children are happy, then let them be happy, who eats is not eating, after a while, the ground is full of chewed dregs. (To be continued......)
