Chapter 366: The Power of Sweet Sorghum

"Sorghum and sugar cane?" Xiao Yuqi said.

"Sorghum on top, sugar cane on bottom?" Pei Pei's eyes began to glow.

Gan Guyu smiled slightly, didn't speak, took out a sickle, first chopped off some of the leaves of the sweet sorghum in front of him, then cut off the sweet sorghum one foot from the ground and put it down, and finally cut off the sorghum ears and brought them aside. He chopped the sweet sorghum stalks into several pieces, handed them to the people, and said, "Try it, eat the sugar cane as you like." ”

Pei Pei Xiaoyu nodded, and even peeled and nibbled the sweet sorghum stalks. Ye Bin tried to taste the taste of the so-called sorghum and sugarcane, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really sweet and juicy!"

However, Pei Pei and Xiao Yu are naturally a little difficult to deal with. Xiaoyu only chewed a piece of sweet sorghum stalk and stopped: "Sweet is sweet, but it's still worse than the previous sugarcane." ”

"This is not comparable, right?" said Ganguyu, spreading his hands, "What kind of high-quality soil did my brother use to grow sugarcane in the beginning? How complicated is the planting process? Now this sweet sorghum grows on saline-alkali land, and only a little water and fertilizer are applied. If it weren't for the sorghum rice and pure green fodder, the tillering process just now could be saved, and the planting difficulty would be foolish. ”

The second daughter came to her senses when she heard this, and smiled embarrassedly. Ye Bin on the side was extremely excited: "I have a hunch that the black cow must like this sweet sorghum very much." ”

Gangu Yu also looked a little expectant: "What the hell, let's go back and try it!"

So several people began to work together to harvest sweet sorghum, all according to the previous demonstration of Ganguyu, leaving a base stalk about a foot high for it. Sweet sorghum has a strong tillering capacity if the climate is suitable and the basic water requirements are met. It's no problem to harvest two or three stubbles.

After harvesting the sweet sorghum, Gangu Yu and his party rushed back in a hurry and came to the black cow again.

Gangu Yu took out a few sweet sorghum stalks, extracted the excess sugar water from them and left them to quench their thirst, and then cut them into small pieces and put them in the black cow's trough. The black cow seemed to smell the sweet sorghum and immediately leaned over. I sniffed twice in the trough, and then began to eat with relish without saying a word!

"Look, it's eaten, it's eaten!" Pei Pei lowered his voice and said excitedly, grabbing Gangu Yu's arm fiercely with his hand, and almost jumped up with joy.

"Brother can see it!" said Gan Guyu, who bared his teeth in pain.

Then, a few people watched as the black cow devoured the sweet sorghum in the trough, and then went straight to the side and ruminated leisurely.

After a while, I saw that the black bull did not have any adverse reactions. Ye Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that this sweet sorghum can really be used as feed for black cattle!"

"It's probably too early to tell. Gangu Yu said, "Let's just feed this black cow with sweet sorghum for the time being, and let's see how it works after a while." ”

"That's right, it's safer for a little longer. Ye Bin thought about it and agreed, "Then let's use this black cow for experiments first!"

Gan Guyu and his entourage nodded one after another, and then scattered back to rest. Unexpectedly, the next day, Ye Bin was extremely excited to find Gangu Yu again.

"Gan Shao, good news! Yesterday I ate the black cow with sweet sorghum. Today's milk production has more than quadrupled, and the milk quality has also improved!" Ye Bin stumbled when he entered the house. kicked off his shoes, which shows how agitated he is.

"The effect is so obvious?!" Gangu Yu was also a little overjoyed.

Ye Bin nodded again and again: "I have ordered someone to cook milk, and I will send it to you in a while, you can also try how this milk is different from the last time." ”

As she spoke, a maid brought freshly baked black milk. Gangu Yu was not polite, and took a bite after blowing on it. I couldn't help but nod and said: "The taste has indeed improved, the aroma is stronger, and there is a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste!"

"The main thing is the yield, the yield of black milk has come up! Sweet sorghum should be planted on a large scale in the saline-alkali land near Xincui City immediately!"

Ye Bin began to plan: "Although even if the breeding is carried out immediately, the birth of a new batch of black cattle will have to wait until four or five months later." But it's not too early to start growing sweet sorghum. Not to mention that sorghum rice can solve the urgent need of food shortage, the silage of sweet sorghum stalks alone will take some time. ”

Gangu Yu nodded in agreement. In fact, sweet sorghum stalks can be directly fed, but its green leaves contain a substance, which will produce certain toxins after being hydrolyzed, and if it is eaten in large quantities, it may cause livestock poisoning. This toxin degrades after silage and therefore does not cause poisoning in livestock.

Silage is the use of anaerobic lactic acid bacteria to ferment green fodder, which can make the feed last for a long time and reduce nutrient loss. And silage gives off an aromatic sour taste, which can stimulate the appetite of livestock and increase feed intake. Silage can be stored for a long time and can reduce parasitic diseases, a technology that has long been mastered by the working people of New Green City.

Afterwards, Gangu Yu took out two booklets and handed them to Ye Bin: "Here are the planting techniques of sweet sorghum that I have organized, and I have listed the planting methods of sweet sorghum for both feeding and grain feeding, and there are also two kinds of deluxe version and simple version." ”

"Deluxe version and simple version?" Ye Bin was slightly stunned.

Ganguyu explained: "The so-called Deluxe Edition is the best planting method, from the treatment of seeds, the selection of soil in the plot, to the field management, the maintenance of water and fertilizer, etc., the closer the actual operation is to this, the higher the yield of sweet sorghum should be, and the better the quality." The simple version is to overcome the difficult environment of planting on saline-alkali land, which is simply more watering or something. ”

Ye Bin couldn't laugh or cry, but finally nodded.

"The other thing is the technology of making sake from sorghum. "Now that there is a shortage of food, sorghum rice will mainly be used as food to satisfy hunger. But in the future, when life is better, the main use of sorghum will be to make wine. ”

Ye Bin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I didn't expect you to think so far for us. On behalf of the more than 6,000 households in Xincui City, I must express my heartfelt thanks to Young Master Ganguyu for his rescue!"

"Hehe, it doesn't have to be like this, I didn't plan to help in vain!" said Gangu Yu smiled.

Ye Bin was not surprised: "It should be so." Gan Shao has instructions from you, and the whole city of Xincui will do their best to complete it in order to repay your kindness!"

"It's not that serious. Gangu Yu waved his hand and smiled, "I just want to get the exclusive rights to black milk and black beef, as well as other by-products and processed products, in the whole continent." (To be continued.) )
