Chapter 287: Sunflower seeds for both oil and food

While the entire Cypros was decorated with a snowy world, the greenhouse in the southern suburbs of the planting base ushered in its first harvest thanks to the efforts of the Cool Moon Girls.

The natural mages are worthy of being veteran planters, they just hold a planting guide, plus Gangu Yu's occasional guidance, but the harvest of grains and vegetables is no less than that of Gangu Yu's own planting.

The beauties in the husk skirts were very satisfied with their performance, and at the same time, they were even more impressed by Ganguyu's greenhouse. When the outside is all white, these greenhouses can still be warm as spring, and the vegetables and fruits are fragrant.

However, although the greenhouse is protected by a magic array, the snow cannot crush it, and the temperature loss can be controlled within the ideal range, it does not mean that the greenhouse does not need to be maintained in the cool moon. It is precisely because of the low temperature escape that the snow on the greenhouse can quickly accumulate to the extent that it affects the light.

Therefore, the use of magic arrays to maintain a certain ground temperature and clear the snow on the roof of the greenhouse has also become the top priority of the planting base in the southern suburbs. For this reason, Gangu Yu specially transferred Tang Nuo and a fire mage junior brother from vitamins to temporarily help in the southern suburbs.

"Is there a negligence in the design?" Pei Pei pulled Gangu Yu aside and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you carve a warming magic array on the outside of the greenhouse, so that the snow will turn into water when it falls on the greenhouse?"

"That also requires manual cleaning of the water from the roof. "Most of the melted snow will flow down the roof of the shed, but there will still be many droplets left." These droplets are more likely to concentrate light and burn the plants in the shed. Instead of sweeping water all the time, it's better to clear the snow every once in a while. ”

Tang Nuo finished the snow removal work on the roof of the shed and walked over, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu's greenhouse is really magical, but I am also a vitamin employee, why didn't I assign my field to the southern suburbs planting base for unified management? ”

Gangu Yu spread his hands. He bluntly said, "If I took the initiative to speak, would you refuse? ”

Tang Nuo thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the same." But now if I take the initiative to request, Brother Yu won't refuse, right?"

"How come? Welcome!" Liang Yue jumped over from the side, "Now there are so many greenhouses, the sisters don't think it's enough to play! And then a lot of food is grown. ”

"That's a lot of energy. Ganguyu smiled, "In that case, let's plant something new, but this time it's going to be more tiring." ”

As soon as Liang Yue heard that there were new things to plant, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I won't feel tired! What are we going to plant?"

"Well, that's it. Gangu Yu smiled and took out a handful of seeds with white lines on a black background, distributed some by one person, and introduced, "This is called sunflower seeds." It is an oilseed fruit that can also be used as a snack at leisure. I want to try this with a few greenhouses, but there is only black lard left in the back kitchen of vitamins, and there is less cooking oil for cooking meat dishes. Second, the combat strength assessment will start in two days, and we have to provide some snacks to the students watching the battle. ”

"Snacks?" Pei Pei's eyes lit up, "How do you eat this?"

Gan Guyu knocked open a sunflower seed with his teeth and fed the melon seed kernel into Peipei's mouth: "This is just a raw melon seed for planting, and the taste is better after stir-frying." ”

"It's smelly. Pei Pei chewed twice. He licked his lips and said.

"The essence of eating melon seeds is that you eat it while knocking it, so that it is fun to eat...... All right. Let's plant some first!" Gan Guyu demonstrated how to peel the melon seed shell with his hands, and then said so. These sunflower seeds were all optimized by him with mana, and it would be too wasteful to eat them like this.

"No problem!" Liang Yue cheered, pointing to the land in the greenhouse and said excitedly, "After the last crop was harvested, we even leveled the land. ”

"Brother Dang, don't you know that you have found a bag and asked them for foreign aid?" said Gan Guyu. But he continued, "But this is indeed my negligence, only a few of you here in the southern suburbs planting base are still a little harder, I will say hello to the brothers of the water and soil departments when I go back, and I will come to help you in my free time." At the moment, there are still too few people who can reassure me to transfer here. Bao inquired about a lot of things on their hands, so let's overcome them first if there are difficulties. ”

"That's good enough. Liang Yue squinted and smiled, "In the past, we also cultivated and sorted out the fields by ourselves, not to mention that now we have artifacts such as hoes and sickles, which is much easier than at the beginning." ”

A certain landlord class was suddenly moved. It's really rare to find such employees who don't care about salary, eat less and work more, and are positive, optimistic, down-to-earth and capable.

Immediately after, everyone was busy in the greenhouse again.

The sunflower seeds selected by Ganguyu are new products of edible and oil dual-purpose type, and they are excellent varieties at the forefront of the times. Such sunflower seeds not only have a high yield, but also have large seeds, but the seed coat is very thin, and the oil yield is also considerable.

Growing sunflowers requires plots with easy irrigation and drainage and less sticky soil. The people began to sow seeds according to Gangu Yu's explanation, planting a seed in each hole, planting the seed tip down in the soil, and planting about 500 holes in a greenhouse.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for sunflower seeds to emerge in the top soil, and if there is no help from the seed seedling incubator, planting two seeds in one hole may not be able to guarantee the emergence of seedlings. The general practice in the field is to plant two seeds in one hole after soaking, or simply sow directly, and then transplant and replenish seedlings after the seedlings emerge.

Although Gangu Yu knew that all the seeds he planted would emerge, he still explained the practice of checking the fields and replenishing the seedlings to others, so that he could deal with them in time when he encountered problems in the future.

Edible sunflower requires a lot of water and is also very dependent on phosphate fertilizers. After Gangu rain satisfied the water and fertilizer for it, it began to give birth to the growth of all things.

Generally speaking, seedlings need to be spaced when sunflowers grow one or two pairs of true leaves to ensure plant spacing between rows. However, because the seed and seedling cultivator ensures the germination rate, and the growth of all things avoids the large-scale growth of weeds, so Ganguyu saves a lot of seedling setting and weeding processes.

Ganguyu only carried out a deep ploughing and loosening of the soil and applied top dressing when the sunflowers were closed, and soon the sunflower plants became thick and tall, most of which exceeded Ganguyu's height.

Finally, at the top of the sunflower, flower buds began to appear. At the same time, in the leaf axils of tall plants, some tender branches also begin to appear. There was no need for Gangu Yu to remind him, and everyone was busy at the same time. (To be continued.) )
