Chapter 129: Sowing the Seeds
"Is it the taste?"
Dong Junwei thought about Tang Jing's words for a while, thinking of the celery leaves she had eaten before, the taste of the thick fiber was really difficult to swallow, at first there was a shortage of food, but it was nothing, but as life slowly got better and human society gradually recovered, the requirements for the quality of life will naturally rise.
If the vegetables in the future can only be like this forever, it is indeed a headache, and you can't always juice it to eat.
"Taste is really one thing."
Tang Jing said with a smile: "This is especially true of stems and leaves, potatoes and the like, which are far less delicate than the original, and the most troublesome thing is tomatoes, which may only be made into tomato paste."
"But that's not what I'm talking about."
"Huh?"
"Do you know how potatoes are grown?"
Tang Jing held the potatoes in his hand in front of everyone.
"Potato seeds?" Zhu Hao was puzzled.
"Poof...... Can you please stop being funny, potatoes are grown from potatoes. Wei Dalei is more clear about this.
"Huh? Potatoes themselves are seeds? ”
"This really stumps me, potatoes are roots......" Old Wei, who had barely heard much in class, was speechless.
"It should be a stem, a tuber......" Chang Junyan scratched his hand.
"Stems can also be used for sowing?"
"Hey, although biology is not within the scope of the college entrance examination, you don't have to do this, I talked about it in class." Du Jiajia reprimanded everyone bitterly.
"Oh, tell me about it."
"I forgot about ...... too"
“……”
The college entrance examination in the commercial market is different from other places, in addition to the three main subjects, you can choose three from the six subjects of politics, history, geography, biology, physics, and chemistry, and there is no longer a division of arts and sciences.
And biology is probably the most unpopular among the six families, and even Du Jiajia, who chose biology, didn't put too much energy into it.
Several scumbags had a good discussion, and Chen Du and the others were ashamed to be with them.
In the end, Dong Junwei said: "Potatoes are Solanaceae plants, which will also flower and produce seeds, but generally do not use potato seeds to sow seeds, but let the potatoes sprout and bury them directly in the soil." ”
"Just a whole potato?" Zhu Hao was puzzled.
"This ......" has only been read in books, but Dong Junwei, who has set foot in the crop field, has been speechless for a while.
Tang Jing smiled: "Considering the cost, it is generally cut into pieces and then planted. ”
"Oh......"
The crowd suddenly realized something.
"You mean, you can grow your own vegetables?"
"It's not yet known if the downsizing will affect the planting, but it's a good idea." Tang Jing said.
"If we can really succeed, doesn't it mean that we don't have to worry about vegetables in the future?"
Prior to this, Chen Du and others had discussed this issue.
Compared to meat, the problem with vegetables and grains can be even more serious.
Although it is possible to obtain plant foods that are not scarce by means of gathering, there are two huge problems with this.
First, the edible plants that can be found nearby taste far inferior to ordinary vegetables, and humans have selected some plants as food for a long time, indicating that the rest are either inedible or not tasty.
Second, gathering, like hunting, is not a stable source of food, and is even more dangerous and difficult than the latter.
In addition, fresh fruit is something that is almost unobtainable at the moment.
There are a few peach trees in the school, but they are all for ornamentation, and the fruits are small, unsweet, and difficult to pick.
Tang Jing threw the potatoes back on the ground and said, "At present, it seems that farming by yourself is a very good direction, but there are still many problems to be solved. ”
"What?"
"First of all, where do we plant it?"
"Uh......"
"If you find a random place to plant outside, you will be found, not to mention, such a small plant, it is estimated that a random rain will wash you away."
"Then plant at home? This place is actually enough, right, but it's really not good, just clear out a layer of shelves? "Du Jiajia is the most active one in this regard.
"It seems that this is the only way." Tang Jing nodded.
"So let's do it?"
"How can it be so fast." Tang Jing smiled: "There are still many problems, first of all, we must bring in the soil, and secondly, light, watering, fertilizing, pollination...... These must all be planned before they can be implemented, and this month, the time for sowing has long passed, and if you want to plant forcibly, you have to build a greenhouse......"
The people present have a better understanding of agricultural knowledge than even industry, and after Tang Jing said this, they felt that farming seemed to be out of play for a moment.
Tang Jing saw that everyone's enthusiasm had decreased, and comforted with a smile: "It's okay, a little bit, sooner or later you can succeed." ”
Dong Junwei also said: "What we are doing, to put it mildly, is the agricultural revolution of all mankind, and it is normal to have difficulties, but once we succeed, there is no doubt that we will directly create a new era!" ”
I just finished saying that.
Wei Dalei suddenly took the lead in applauding.
In previous meetings, most of them would end with Dong Junwei's concluding remarks. As a high-level executive of Qiming, Wei Dalei rarely brings his brains to meetings and often wanders.
For fear of bad influence, Chen Duan gave him an idea, as long as Dong Junwei finished saying a summary sentence, he quickly applauded, yes.
As a result, Lao Wei is becoming more and more like Tuo in the variety show, although he doesn't know what he said at all, he can always sensitively grasp the atmosphere and take the lead in applauding.
This time was no exception.
When everyone saw him applaud, they could only clap their hands along with him.
Because of the habit of the meeting, the applause of the crowd is very rhythmic, and when it stops, it is basically uniform.
However, when the applause stopped, a thin clapping sound was heard in the rear.
Obviously, it was because they didn't expect everyone to stop suddenly.
Everyone was stunned.
All turn back.
I saw a thin girl named Gu Yinglong, I don't know when, she crawled back into the iron cage, sat on the ground and applauded with everyone.
Her face was still very calm, and she didn't seem to feel anything about Dong Junwei's words, but when she saw others applauding, she applauded too.
However, at this time, seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Gu Yinglong's hands suddenly froze in the air, and after a while, he slowly put it down embarrassedly.
