Chapter 530: Zhang Xiaoxue's Idea
After eating, the tea was served, and Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather asked Zhang Xiaoxue about the question in his heart just now.
"I remember that the potato seeds that Cher asked us to plant were not whole potatoes, but these freshly harvested potatoes, can they be planted directly in the ground as seeds?"
"I also remember that the potato seeds are small pieces, and there are small green shoots on them, when Xue'er taught potatoes, she also said that those small green shoots should be placed facing up, and it is indeed not such a big potato planted directly in the ground. ”
"That's right! Why did I forget about it, what should I do with these potatoes? I can't just plant them in the ground, can I? I have to make seeds for other crops, and I have to dry them for a while. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't expect her grandfather to be so careful, and even thought of these differences, she knew that potatoes had to be germinated before planting.
And the germination method of potatoes is not complicated, she also knows that she originally planned to explain it when the potatoes are distributed to the villagers, and she must teach the germination method to the villagers.
"Freshly harvested potatoes can't be planted directly in the ground as potato seeds, which not only takes too long to grow, but also wastes potato seeds.
Potatoes need to be germinated before they can be planted, and the potato seeds I saw were potato seeds that had been sprouted and cut into small pieces that had been processed.
Therefore, each potato can sprout many sprouts, and each small sprout can grow a potato plant. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue explained everyone's doubts.
"Sister Xiaoxue, do you know how to germinate this potato?"
Yu Wenze listened to what Zhang Xiaoxue said, and suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, what if they didn't sprout this potato?
"Hehe, Your Highness, rest assured, I know the method of potato germination, I think that when the potato germination method is reached, I must also tell the villagers about it, otherwise everyone will not understand, and every time we have to germinate, it will be too troublesome." ”
Yu Wenze was relieved when he heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that she would germinate potatoes, and then thought that the potatoes planted by the Agricultural Department of the county town would be used as food seeds in the future, so they would naturally be germinated.
And this method of potato germination must also be promoted, so he considered and said: "Because this potato is the first time everyone has seen a crop, many people don't know the planting method of potatoes, let alone the method of germination of potatoes."
There are a lot of potatoes planted in the county town agriculture department, and I hope that when the time comes, Sister Xiaoxue can go to the Agriculture Department again in person, explain it to the people over there, and teach them how to germinate potatoes, and then trouble Sister Xiaoxue again. ”
"Yes, this matter is very simple to me, it is not a trouble, Your Highness can rest assured, when the potatoes are harvested, I will go to the county town again.
My family's newly opened wasteland also planted a large number of potatoes, and the time should be similar to that of the potatoes planted by the Department of Agriculture, and after the potatoes on my side are harvested, I will go to the county town, which should be just in time for the potatoes of the Department of Agriculture to mature. ”
Yu Wenze's request was a piece of cake for Zhang Xiaoxue, and going to the county town was not a troublesome thing at all, so she agreed with her mouth.
Yu Wenze heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that a large number of potatoes were planted on her family's newly reclaimed wasteland, so she remembered this stubble, and she didn't know how the potatoes grew on the wasteland?
Since he came over once, Yu Wenze also wanted to take a look in person, so that he would have some points in his heart, and encourage the people in the fiefdom to reclaim more wasteland, so that more barren land could be turned into fertile land for growing food.
Although soon after coming to the fiefdom, he issued a decree to encourage the people in the fiefdom to reclaim more wasteland, and made several preferential policies accordingly, but even so, there are few families who are really willing to open up wasteland.
Therefore, at that time, because pancakes could be promoted, Yu Wenze was very surprised when he heard Zhang Xiaoxue propose to want 100 acres of wasteland.
When Yu Wenze thought of this, he was a little distracted, but he was pulled back by Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather's words.
"Xue'er, these harvested potatoes, it's better to sprout as soon as possible, don't delay the time to plant in the ground, how to germinate so many potatoes, Xue'er, you say, let us do it, you don't need to do it yourself." ”
Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather was worried that the potatoes could be planted in the field earlier, and he was afraid that he would be tired of his granddaughter, so he wanted Zhang Xiaoxue to just move his mouth and let them do the manual labor.
"Yes, Cher, just tell me how to do it? ”
When Father Zhang heard what his father said, he agreed very much, so many potatoes need to be sprouted, but they can't tire their own baby girl, and then he also spoke.
"Yes, yes, Xue'er is a girl's family, so many potatoes need to be sprouted, it really can't be done, of course, it's better for us to do it. ”
Then Zhang Xiaoxue's uncle, as well as the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the patriarch, all spoke later, and let Zhang Xiaoxue just move her mouth, and the rest of the physical work was naturally handed over to the man.
"Hehe, that's what I'm going to do, I just told the people in the village that I want to divide the potatoes evenly according to the families who want to grow potatoes.
I don't think it's better to wait until all the potatoes are distributed to each family, and then let them come here, and I'll teach them a whole way, so I can give them a demonstration.
Germination of potatoes is not good once, it takes several days of maintenance, and it is actually very simple to germinate potatoes, even if everyone stays at home and does it themselves, as long as they strictly follow the method I said, it should not go wrong.
Now let's wait for the patriarch to count the families who need to buy potato seeds, so let's divide the potatoes evenly and then proceed to the next step of the professor's germination. ”
The patriarch and the six clan elders heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that the potatoes should be distributed to each household first, and then they would teach everyone to germinate the potatoes.
I think this idea is really good, and I am very grateful to Zhang Xiaoxue's family, so I can't sit still here.
I want to go back quickly, count the people who want to buy potato seeds, and send them to Zhang Xiaoxue's family as soon as possible.
It's good to be able to plant potatoes in the ground sooner.
Such a high-yield crop is really an eye-opener for them today, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes throughout the whole process, and they only heard people say it, and they couldn't believe it, I'm afraid they would have thought that they were bragging.
