Chapter 697: Do your best

Master Wu is not a dead student, before he was admitted to the Jinshi, he had been following the tenants of his family and taking care of the family's paddy fields by himself. At the age of forty, he set himself a goal. If he fails the examination again, he will completely give up the scientific examination and concentrate on studying rice production. When he was an official below, he also paid great attention to agricultural production, often went down to the countryside, ate and lived with the old farmers, and accumulated rich planting experience. Because of this, the Jinling Experimental Field was handed over to him, and his official position was also promoted by two levels.

Seeing the planting technique given to him by Xiaocao, he was fascinated, and applauded when he saw the key points. Many of the puzzles he had encountered before were easily solved with this Codex of Lord Chincha. No wonder the emperor uses a female streamer so much, she really has something special! The emperor really has a good eye!!

Yu Xiaocao must be very embarrassed to know that Master Wu admires himself so much. What she wrote was just some planting experiences she had seen in her previous life that she had sporadically remembered. She's just a dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants! How can it be so great?

After Xiaocao came to Jinling, in addition to tasting delicious food, most of his energy was focused on "hybrid rice". You must know that the yield of super hybrid rice in the last generation exceeded 1,500 kilograms! Even the rice grown with Lingshi water has only reached more than 600 catties at present!

It is said that the research of Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, began with the discovery of a natural hybrid rice. Yu Xiaocao decided that in order to hide people's eyes, he would first find such a natural hybrid rice plant. And then look at it in that direction.

According to Xiaocao's proposal, the emperor has ordered Jiangnan to start experimenting with planting double-cropping rice. Therefore, some of the experimental fields in Jinling were planted earlier. Wu Daren was afraid that the low temperature in early spring would affect the propagation of seeds, but he did not expect that the rice seeds transported from the capital would grow well. However, for ordinary rice seeds, the germination rate and survival rate are average when seedlings are raised.

Master Wu, who copied a copy of the "Rice Planting Strategy" from Lord Qincha, simply took root in the experimental field, and did not return home, and entered the ranks of serving rice with one mind. Not to mention, the rice grown better by the method given by the Chincha-sama, and when the ears were pulled, it was obvious that the ears of rice were twice as large as ordinary rice, and they were much fuller. The growing period of these rice is also shortened and is expected to be harvested in June.

When the rice was headed, Yu Xiaocao came to the experimental field more frequently. In the past, I used to come once every three to five days to guide the work, but now I have to come almost every other day. There were so many plants in the test field, she couldn't have checked them all one by one. However, she has a cheat, and it would be a waste if she didn't use it.

She asked the little mending stone to release its aura, sensing some of the stronger of these young beings, and then asked Master Wu and his assistants to record it. Among these rices, she really found a rice that "stands out from the crowd". It has excellent plant shape and large spikes and many grains. She counted the number of rice grains carefully, and there were as many as 200 grains, far more than the other ears of rice in the test field.

Well, let's take it as an opportunity to give Master Wu a direction for their research. Hybrid rice, with an emphasis on "hybridization". Xiaocao used to be the little fan sister of the father of rice in her previous life, and she was fascinated by the principle of hybrid rice. However, she is a layman after all and has only learned a few scratches.

She knew that in order to complete the hybrid rice, there must be three types of rice seeds. One is without stamens, the other is ordinary rice, and the two types of rice are planted together at the same time, completing the hybrid. However, although this hybrid has a high yield, it can only last for one season, and it will not be able to be used next time, just like the rice seed she grew with Lingshi water. Rice seeds without stamens and hybrid rice seeds must be used to continue breeding, and the offspring produced are hybrid rice.

In this way, there must be a breeding field, a breeding field. In the breeding field, only those rice varieties with degraded stamens are bred. Breeding fields are specialized in breeding hybrid rice varieties that are grown in the field.

Yu Xiaocao found the rice with degraded stamens from the paddy field, and marked them one by one for the next season's propagation field. After returning to the other courtyard, she forgot to sleep and eat to sort out the breeding method of "hybrid rice" in her brain as much as possible in simple language, and prepared to hand it over to Master Wu for him to take someone to study. Speaking of farming, her half-bottle of vinegar is really not as good as Master Wu, a veteran who has been immersed in the farmland for decades.

His Royal Highness King Xu, who was forgotten by the hard-working little daughter-in-law, said that he was very hurt. Okay, what about two people who travel at public expense? What about tasting Jinling and surrounding food together? Okay, if you want to walk around the south of the Yangtze River and experience the beautiful scenery of "there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou below"? In the dead of night, Zhu Junyang looked at the back of the princess's selfless work, biting the little handkerchief and the cow in his face! Who made him marry a workaholic little daughter-in-law?

and Su Ran, as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he ran away with no one at all. It is said that the famous rivers and mountains around Jinling have been walked by him. I also come back from time to time to brush up on my sense of existence, showing what I saw and what I ate in front of him. The most hateful thing is that the snacks he brought back successfully bought his daughter-in-law's stomach. Every day when I don't talk about work in front of him, I desperately praise Mr. Su for how he is. I'm angry, who is her husband?

When his daughter-in-law ate the persimmons brought back by Su Ran's stinky guy, and once again put that guy on her lips, Zhu Junyang said, "Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Personally pounced on her little daughter-in-law, and made her realize how "ferocious" jealous old men, especially jealous men who have been dry for a long time!! Well, in fact, you are just looking for all excuses to "seek benefits" for yourself!

The next day, Yu Xiaocao, who didn't get up until noon, took the "Hybrid Rice Breeding Strategy" that she finally completed, found Master Wu, and spent half a day explaining the principle to him. Then he took the burden off and went to appease the man who had been left out in the cold for a long time.

If the Wu people get the treasure, in July, they will make the breeding field and the hybrid field all seven, eighty, eight. At this time, Lord Qincha and her husband had already left Jinling and came to the boundary of Yangzhou, eating sweet lotus canopies, and holding a canopy boat to pick lotus in the Slender West Lake!

In July, the first crop of rice in the Jinling experimental field was harvested. The yield per mu reached 800 catties, which made the person in charge of Master Wu burst into tears. In the past six months, he has put almost all his energy into the experimental field. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and they also succeeded in growing high-yield rice. The output exceeded last year's Beijing experimental field. Congratulations!

Lord Wu wanted to share this good news with Lord Chincha, but he didn't know where Lord Chincha was at this time. Maybe in Suzhou, maybe in Hangzhou, or further south...... Who knows!

Wu Daren soon devoted his energy to the research of hybrid rice. Chincha-sama said that if he could grow hybrid rice, the yield would at least double that of the test field. What is the concept of doubling? That is to say, the yield per mu can reach more than 1,500 catties. Oh, my God! He's not dreaming, is he? Or is Chincha-sama dreaming?

No! How could he doubt the all-powerful Chincha-sama in planting? Without her, the yield of rice would be maintained at two or three hundred catties at most. In the past, if anyone said that rice could yield 800 catties per mu, Master Wu would definitely slap him. But now, isn't it already happening? Lord Qincha said that hybrid rice can exceed 1,500 catties, then it will definitely be possible! If it can't be, it means that he didn't work hard enough to complete the important task entrusted by Lord Chincha!!

Wu Daren, who is over sixty years old, has become Yu Xiaocao's loyal brain fan at this time!!

When the breeding fields and breeding fields have begun to take shape, Yu Xiaocao and his wife have traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River. On the way to play, they met unexpectedly with the "Zhiyuzhai" caravan that went to the Yunnan-Myanmar border to purchase jadeite rough. Yu Xiaocao said that he was very interested in the mining of jadeite rough, and His Royal Highness King Xu, who spoiled his wife without a lower limit, would certainly not be willing to disappoint his little daughter-in-law. So the couple followed the caravan to the southern tip of Yunnan Province.

It is surrounded by lofty mountains, dense forests, and fierce people. Fortunately, the caravan of King Xu's Mansion has made a name for itself in this generation, and neither the surrounding ethnic minorities nor some leaders of the Burmese State dare to despise them. In addition, there are people in the southwest army to support them, and those who want to use their brains have to weigh it carefully!

Zhu Junxi and Han Xiaomu, after attending Xiaocao's wedding, quickly made a marriage, and returned to the southwest border to garrison. Yu Xiaocao and Zhu Junyang also specially stayed in Ruizhou Mansion where the border army was stationed for a day, visited General Han, and sent a lot of food to the second brother and future second sister-in-law. Most of them were dim sum, preserved fruits and jerky made by Yu Xiaocao himself, and a large basket was given away.

Han Xiaomute was moved and hugged ...... The big basket full of food burst into tears and reluctantly let go. Since she tasted Xiaocao's craftsmanship in Beijing, this female general who has been on the battlefield has fallen under Xiaocao's cooking skills. Xiaocao's status in her heart has skyrocketed, even surpassing her fiancé Zhu Junxi. Zhu Junxi shook his head and sighed - there is a greedy wife at home, there is nothing to do!

It has been more than three months since I returned to the southwest, and the food I brought back from the capital, even if I saved it, would have eaten it up a long time ago. Every time she eats the "pig food" in the army, Han Xiaomu misses Yu Xiaocao very much, and all she thinks about in her mouth is her. Zhu Junxi has eaten the vinegar of his younger siblings!

Fortunately, when he left Beijing, his mother prepared a lot of barbecue seasonings for him. He can't do other skills, but his barbecue skills are still good. Coupled with these secret seasonings, it conquered the stomach of the female general at once, and pulled her heart back from her brother and daughter-in-law.
