Chapter 316: Reclamation
Soon, the third batch of soilless cultivation of elf rice also matured, this time, Jiayi and they harvested more than 60 pounds of rice, about 50 catties or more, which is already a lot, and the growth frame in the laboratory has been full, and it is impossible to plant more elf rice.
With so much elf rice, it is enough for breeding and sowing.
The rice was screened out with salt water, this time, less than 30 catties of seeds were obtained, and this time because the screening was stricter, the proportion of seeds selected was less, only a little more than half, mainly because there were more rice in hand, and the heart was not panicked.
This time, Kaichi decided to officially walk out of the laboratory and plant in the field.
First of all, he found Queenie, and took his friends to sort out the greenhouse in Orlando, which originally planted a lot of vegetables transplanted by Jiayi, at this time, the seeds that can be collected are collected, and the transplants that can be transplanted will be cleaned up more.
Originally, he was going to set aside a small piece of land in the botanical garden to plant elf rice, but now the season is not early, it has passed the season of planting rice, he can only plant in the greenhouse, otherwise, the rice will be frozen to death by frost before it is harvested.
After the terrain was arranged, Kaichi built ridges at the edge of the designated area for planting rice, and then used a spell to loosen the entire rice field, turning the entire surface of the ground and breaking it up.
At this time, it was time for Queenie to make a move, although she was not proficient in earth-based spells, but her strength was here, just a light stretch of her hand, and the entire soil layer near her was pushed up from the bottom, turning the soil layer on the surface to the bottom, and the soil layer below to the surface.
Then the whole stretches into the distance, and the whole plot rolls up like a wave, from beginning to end.
In this era without tractors, Queenie's role is much more powerful than a tractor, it is simply a combination of, no, many high-power machines, or humanoid.
Then, Kaichi begged Queenie to build a canal to direct the water from the stream to the rice fields of the greenhouse, and even added a heating circle where the water flowed into the greenhouse in order to prevent the water from getting too low in winter, so that the temperature of the water could be raised before being introduced into the greenhouse.
However, Jia Yi will know this later, this time he really thinks too much about himself, in winter, with the temperature of the academy, the entire stream will be frozen, unless he dissolves the stream in its entirety, there will be no water source at all.
After the canal was built and the water was released to raise the field, many earthworms escaped from the rice field, the thickness of the chopsticks, which was about the same length, squirming from the ridge to the nearby vegetable garden, and there were those who were more lucky, but they were blocked by the glass when they ran to the other side2, and they could only squirm around, and then gathered together, slowly forming a ball, sticky together.
Many earthworms still have leeches hanging on their bodies, some leeches are relatively small, but there are also large ones, thick and large, although not as long as earthworms, but much thicker than earthworms, mountain grasshoppers, hanging on the earthworms, let the earthworms support themselves.
Kaichi used a spell to transfer these earthworms into the vegetable field, these are beneficial insects, and staying in the greenhouse is good for the plants, but as soon as he sees a leech, he immediately floats it, and then a flame passes over and burns the other party to death.
After the leeches are burned to death, they emit a burnt smell of burnt proteins.
March was a little disgusted by the smell, even the earthworms, and she said to Kaichi, "Can you please stop burning it, it smells so bad, and these earthworms look so disgusting." ”
"These earthworms are beneficial insects, which are good for plant growth, what should we do if these leeches are not burned to death? ”
March took a step back, as if disgusted by Jiayi: "How can you have such a terrible idea, who would want to eat this, it's disgusting." ”
Jiayi himself is also a little disgusted, but it is said that leeches have a high protein content, and it looks like they are actually quite similar to sea cucumbers, they are all covered with a layer of rubber outside, and I don't know if anyone eats this thing.
For leeches, Jiayi doesn't have the slightest affection.
He said, "Who knows, when you actually go out on adventures in the future, you'll find that these are really nothing, and there are slimes on their stomachs, slimy sludge monsters, and all kinds of tentacle monsters." There are a lot of silt monsters on the garbage valley in the back mountain, which are well fed and can wrap people all over their bodies. ”
It seems that Kaichi has not had a taste for some strange novels recently.
Marchi heard some bad taste from Jiayi's tone, and looked at him strangely: "What is there to be afraid of slimes and sludge monsters, even if they are tentacle monsters, as long as they are not evil eye monsters or something, don't be too afraid." ”
Queenie is not far from here, and Jia Yi shouldn't go on, the girl is still too young, and she doesn't know that the tentacle monster has a buff that doubles the damage to women, and if she is caught, the whole book will be 404.
"Okay, Jiayi, you don't care about these earthworms and leeches, why did you flood the fields? I thought you were looking for me for something good, but I didn't expect to be caught by you and worked as a coolie for half a day. Queenie asked.
Queenie's strength is high, and it is indeed very easy to have her help, otherwise these dogs will be busy for several days, and there are no tools for plowing the fields here, and his own strength is far worse than Queenie's.
However, Kaichi found out that Queenie didn't even know about the paddy field, didn't she grow or come into contact with elf rice?
"This is for planting elf rice, haven't you planted it? Why don't you even know this?"
"Is the elven rice going to be planted in the water?" Queenie's eyes were about to widen, as if someone had punched her in the chest, and it was the first time he knew that the elven rice was planted in the water.
"No wonder I don't have much surviving elven rice to grow," Queenie thought to herself.
At the same time, she also decided on one thing, she had never planted elf rice, never.
Now, we can know why she was able to plant so much elf rice to the end, and only a small bottle remained.
Queenie said, "I just collected the seeds of Elf Rice, but I didn't grow them. ”
"Even if it's just a collection, but for so long it's time, haven't you ever understood the growth environment of elf rice? Even if it's elf rice is rare, you don't know, but don't you know about ordinary rice? There should be a lot of this on the southern seaside. ”
"I don't live where rice is grown, and I haven't grown elf rice, so why should I know the growing environment of elf rice? ”
Queenie said so much that she felt like she was about to believe what she was saying.
However, Jia Yi now really believes that Queenie has not planted elf rice, if it is himself, no matter what, he will at least investigate the growth environment of elf rice, at least know what season it should be planted, and he likes drought and waterlogging.
You can't just sow any seed in the ground, thinking that you will be able to harvest a lot of fruit in the fall.
