Chapter 308: Planting Corn [1]

Generally speaking, the things that His Majesty rewards must be offered well, but how can this food be offered? If it is left to be broken, will Your Majesty blame it?

Zhang Tiezhu said: "Since it is a reward from His Majesty, why don't you eat it?" After a pause, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked at Su Jinse and asked, "Bao'er, what do you think we should do?" ”

Every time there is something, he always habitually wants to ask Bao'er what he thinks first.

Li Hongxiang also cast an inquiring glance at Su Jinse: "Bao'er is the smartest, Bao'er, do you say we will eat or not?" ”

Su Jinse tilted his little head and thought about it seriously, and said, "As Master Jiang said just now, this corn is the same as potatoes are imported food, since potatoes can be planted, then this corn can definitely be planted." Father, Mother, Your Majesty has given us this food, do you hope that we can also grow corn? ”

Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang suddenly brightened up when they heard this, and dared to love His Majesty's reward for corn not for them to eat, but for them to plant! But he deliberately didn't say it, did he want to test them?

If they did eat the corn, would His Majesty blame it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help but shudder, this majesty's mind really understands!

However, if they can really grow corn, they will have another crop in the future!

So Zhang Tiezhu took the corn out of the box, put it in the room and stored it carefully, and then took out a corn and studied it, how did this corn grow?

Su Jinse said: "Dad, this corn seed should be similar to the rice seed, and it must be dried first, right?" After drying, let's sow the seeds. ”

Zhang Tiezhu patted his head and suddenly realized, "Bao'er, you're right, I was in a hurry and forgot about it." ”

This corn was a reward from His Majesty, and he had been worried that it would be planted badly, and in a moment of anxiety, he forgot some key problems with seeds, but he was also a farmer, and he had experience in planting, and some similar seeds could be sown in a similar way.

So Zhang Tiezhu took two corn cobs out and put them in the sun.

After a few days of drying, after the moisture of the corn has dried, it is carefully peeled off one by one and packed in a clean cloth bag.

"Daddy, can you give me some corn seeds? I want to try my hand at growing corn. Su Jinse said seriously.

"Done!" Zhang Tiezhu grabbed a handful of corn kernels and gave them to Su Jinse.

With so many corn seeds, grabbing a handful is not in the way.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tiezhu hoeed the ground, sprinkled the corn seeds directly into the soil, and then lightly covered with a thin layer of soil and watered.

After Su Jinse got a little corn seed, he soaked it in cold water, and he had to soak it for eight or nine hours.

Taking advantage of this time, she went to move a few large rocks, built a temporary small ondol, and then went to pick up a lot of straw and came back.

Eight or nine hours passed, and the next step was corn germination.

Su Jinse found a piece of oil paper, spread it on the kang, spread a layer of straw about 10 cm thick on the oil paper, and then spread the old cloth on the straw, and then washed the soaked seeds with 50 °C warm water, the purpose is to increase the temperature of the seeds, and control the water of the washed and warmed seeds; Place on an old cloth with a thickness of no more than 10 cm; Finally, cover the seeds with an old cloth washed with warm water for heat preservation and germination.
