Chapter 242: Demonstration

This naturally can't attract her attention, after all, it is normal in the eyes of ordinary people.

The reason for these subtle differences between the two plants may be that the slightly plump ears of rice are taken care of by a hard-working farmer, who waters them every day, while the other is taken care of by a lazy farmer, who even waters and fertilizes them for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

In this way, it is obvious that there is such an anomaly.

It's just that what Du Bai said was a little unexpected for her.

"Both rice plants grow in the same place. After Tian Guan's experiment, it was found that although the yield of this rice plant full of ears was higher, it was extremely drought tolerant, and even died if it was slightly blown by wind and rain......" Du Bai said slowly, and then raised the rice on the right, "but this rice plant is just the opposite." It is characterized by its toughness and good drought tolerance. However, its yield is at least half that of the previous one......"

After being slightly stunned, Qing Dai listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time, and there was more surprise in her eyes.

Although she is also a monster like a plant, she didn't expect that even the simplest rice has so much attention, and the two rice plants will have all kinds of differences like people......

And she was even more curious, why did this obviously high-ranking Dragon King find out that these were details that many farmers who had been working in the fields all year round might not notice?

Du Bai continued slowly, "So if the excellent characteristics of these two kinds of rice can be combined, then wouldn't the rice produced by this hybrid be both drought tolerant and high-yielding?" ”

He smiled slightly, threw the two rice plants to Qing Dai, and saw that she hurriedly caught them, "So this is the purpose of I asked you to study it, you can plant it now, and use your magic power to give it a try." ”

"Yes."

Qing Dai had just come back to her senses from the magical train of thought he had said, and although she felt a little strange but unexpectedly reasonable, she couldn't help but solemnly replant the seeds of these two rice plants into the field, and then, urging the mana to start making them grow faster.

Soon, the two rice plants produced many ears of rice. Qing Dai paid a little attention and sure enough, even under the fair infusion of her mana, the growth of the two rice plants was different, the one on the left seemed to be more numerous, and the one on the right was slightly shorter.

"It seems that what the Nightmare Dragon King said is true." She said secretly in her heart.

And then it's time for flowering and pollination.

This method naturally does not need to be operated manually like mortals, and the advantage of spells is that they can complete the desired operation with a single thought. This is also the place where Du Bai thinks it is most convenient to study this technique in a ghost town.

After the initial hybridization, soon the new ears are full and the rice is ripe.

Under the spawn of the spell, it was a simple moment to complete the growth cycle that can only be completed in a season.

"Are these the drought-tolerant and full-growing rices?" Qingdai held a small handful of rice seeds in her hand, and felt quite wonderful in her heart.

How could she accomplish what she had envisioned to be unattainable?

"Of course, it's more than that." Du Bai shook his head slightly, if it was really that simple, he could do it casually, why bother recruiting these monsters with special magical powers.

"Only a small fraction of them have good characteristics at the same time. More may have inferior varieties at the same time, and some may not have been inherited perfectly......" he sighed lightly and looked away, "so you need to select and breed better varieties again and again, and increase the yield step by step, this is a very long process, not one step or two can be easily completed." ”

His ultimate goal is not just to fill these fields in the ghost town with these plump rice, otherwise he only needs some simple spells to complete it, why bother so hard to study? His ultimate goal is to make it possible for ordinary farmers who don't know how to spell to grow the same high-quality rice, which will take a long time to completely change from the variety to the past, not overnight.

Qing Dai looked at the Dragon King in front of her in a daze, and she inexplicably felt a faint sense of responsibility in her heart. I feel like I'm holding more than just some rice......

Her heart is kind, otherwise she would not have repeatedly decided to save people in disregard of the prejudices and shackles between humans and demons, and this time it was the "people of the world" who was saved, which made her a little excited, and the more she admired this dragon king who could come up with this special method, she was secretly ashamed in her heart that she had listened to some gossip that was now trying to smear this great king.

A king who can have such a broad mind is far from being compared to the immortal Buddha who said that he dominates the common people in the sky but does not care about starvation on the roadside!

"It seems that my cultivation is still not enough!" She secretly cheered herself up, "You must work hard so that the great plan of the king can be realized as soon as possible!" ”

And here, Du Bai slowly left here with the peach blossom demon. Naturally, he can't stay here all the time, as a professional shopkeeper, as long as he puts forward a general idea, he can delegate these research tasks, and by the way, release a few great future plans to stimulate the enthusiasm of the employees below.

In the future, if you have time to supervise the progress of the work, just encourage and encourage employees.

This is also self-cultivation as a boss.

But before leaving, he suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, did those two little monsters stay in our ghost town just now?" What is your name? ”

If you don't even know the names of your employees, it's a dereliction of duty on your own.

"Yes, one of those two little demons is named Bai Yu, a radish essence, and the other is named Qing Dai, which is a medicinal herb ......of the same name," the peach blossom demon replied thoughtfully.

Bai Yu ...... Indigo ......"

Du Bai repeated it softly in his mouth, his brows furrowed slightly, for some reason, the latter name seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"By the way......" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered some pictures from the past.

"Interesting...... The woman actually sent it to the door herself. The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had thought of something interesting.

Now that she has moved into her own ghost town, she doesn't have to worry about whether she will run away when, maybe even if she doesn't interfere, if it is really fate, then sooner or later the two will meet here somewhere one day......

He was a little inexplicably looking forward to it.
