The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mr. Liu was instructing blog posts to write policy theories. Seeing that Mu Yangling nodded slightly, he lowered his head and continued to read. He has already decided to participate in this year's Autumn Festival, so the time is very tight.

Mu Yangling didn't bother him, and bowed to Bowen before stepping back.

Taking a breath of fresh air, Bowen couldn't help but patted his chest and said, "It's so stressful to read a book together now."

Mu Yangling touched his head with a smile, but Bo Wen shook her hand and said with a pouted: "Sister, I have grown up, I can't touch my head anymore."

Mu Yangling withdrew his hand graciously, "After checking the situation here, I want to go home and have a look. Will you go back with me?"

"How many days?"

"I can finish the work in about five days here, and I will probably stay for seven or eight days when I go home. Of course, you can only stay for two or three days, and you still have to study. I will let Cousin Lang see you off."

Bowen nodded after thinking for a while, "Then I told my husband, hurry up with your homework, I'm going home for three days."

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile. Bowen went home to match his mother and younger siblings, and Mu Yangling went back mainly to see the conditions of the experimental field.

The weather in Xingzhou Prefecture is still not good this year. This is unfortunate for Mu Yangling, but it is also fortunate. In this way, unfortunately, the crops in the field will definitely have to fail. Fortunately, those rice seeds can be tested. Can it be drought resistant.

When Mu Yangling returned to Chenggutun, Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were also in the field, and they were fertilizing an acre of rice to compare with the situation of no fertilization.

Seeing her, Liu Ting was very excited and said: "Ah Ling, the seeds that survived last year's drought are indeed much better than the previous ones. Look at the comparison between the two sides. Last year's seeds were 80% full of grout. They are good seeds bought from grain shops like everyone else. Up to now, only 30% of the grouting has been done, and the difference is too obvious.”

For the convenience of observation, they chose two adjacent plots for the experiment, which can be compared by looking left and right.

Mu Yangling pinched the ears of rice that had just been filled with grain, and his eyes sparkled, "Pay special attention to the pests on the drought-resistant side. Last time I came here, I found that the rice here seems to attract pests."

Liu Yuan said nonchalantly: "It grows well here and there is something to eat, and the pests will come naturally."

Mu Yangling is not sure if this is the reason. We have to find a place to try again. At least the growth conditions on both sides must be similar to compare. I don’t know when I will get a conclusion, but it will take a long time to do this. time.

"Whether it's the reason or not, it must be recorded in detail. Although the grout has been filled now, it will take more than a month to harvest. If something goes wrong, the five acres of rice will be useless."

Liu Ting's face was solemn, Liu Yuan looked at the two of them, and said, "It's all grouted."

Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian also laughed and said, "Girl, although there is still more than a month to go, we farmers can estimate the harvest just by looking at the grout filling."

Mu Yangling was puzzled, "Have you never encountered rice blast or insect disaster?"

In her previous life, when she went to play in the fields, she often heard the complaints from the farmers that they were all harvested, but encountered rice blast or pests, and the grains were not harvested. It became clearer when I came into contact with planting in this life.

Chen Sanzhu said: "I have encountered insect disasters before, but I have only seen it once when I was so old. It is quite miserable. Hula, one mu of land can't even harvest seeds, but we shouldn't be so unlucky, right? My father It’s only happened once in a lifetime.”

Xu Jian asked curiously, "What is rice blast?"

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were both curious.

Mu Yangling didn't know either. She tried hard to recall the rice blast mentioned by the peasant uncles that year, and described: "It seems that the rice stalk or the bottom is sick, and the nutrition and water cannot be transported to the top, and then the rice is about to mature. died, haven't you seen it?"

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan shook their heads. Chen Sanzhu was the oldest, and he had never heard of it, but Xu Jian thought about it seriously, and said: "I seem to have heard it from the old man in our village, but I don't remember it clearly, but girl, whether it is Insect pests or rice blasts, we generally don’t encounter them, not necessarily once in ten years.”

So the bugs in this world are so conscientious? Creatures that could not be killed by pesticides in the previous life are not particularly worried here.

"Then you can estimate the yield, but you still need to record their growth status," Mu Yangling paused, and said, "Take a look in the field to see if there are any male rice that grows particularly well but does not head. "

The four of them stared wide-eyed, "Is the rice divided into male and female?"

This name was chosen by Mu Yangling herself, and she has never studied agriculture, so she can only deduce it from some general impressions, "Rices are generally hermaphroditic, but some rice plants only have males, so they seem to only bloom and not bear fruit. The rice is very drought and disaster-resistant, I want to cross it with the rice we are planting now, I don’t know what the result will be, but the premise is that such rice can be found.”

Mu Yangling's idea opened another door for everyone, and Liu Ting thought about it: "It's almost like grafting fruit trees."

Mu Yangling nodded, "The principle is similar, it is to combine two varieties together in order to get a better variety, not only this kind of male rice, but also the wild rice that grows in the wild. They are in the wild and no one fertilizes the loose land. Watering and weeding, but it can grow tenaciously. In some respects, it must be better than the rice grown in our fields. Although I don’t know whether the rice produced by mating will be better than the current one, but after a few more experiments, maybe it will be. Find good rice seeds, at least everyone will have a choice in the end.”

When the four of them heard the words, they were all eager to try.

Even if they haven't read many books, they know that if they can breed a new rice seed, this feat is enough to go down in history.

This made the eyes of the four who thought they would be mediocre all turn red.

Mu Yangling gave them the direction, looked at the situation in the field again, and then turned back.

Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian Liu Yuan continued to fertilize, but Liu Ting went back with Mu Yangling. The three of them didn't care. When they were four, they were also led by Liu Ting.

Liu Yuan is because Liu Ting is the eldest brother, and the family has always listened to him, and they are used to it.

Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian had no choice. They were Mu Yangling's long-term workers, but Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were Mu Yangling's cousins. Moreover, Mu Yangling also said that he would listen to Liu Ting's orders, so seeing Liu Ting Following Mu Yangling back, they only thought he was going to report the situation.

Liu Ting did report the situation, but this is only one aspect. He wanted to borrow agricultural books with Mu Yangling to read, "Did you read all those things from agricultural books?"

Mu Yangling shook his head, "Some are, some are not, Uncle, sometimes reading requires more brains, and thinking is the only way to open up a new road, although I don't know whether that road leads to the abyss or to the Sunshine Avenue, But we have to discover it before we can go up, and only when we go up can we know the situation behind. If it is an abyss, we will turn back, write down that road, and then take another one. If it is Sunshine Avenue, we will go forward while walking We can also see if we can find more roads, so that we have more Sunshine Avenues to choose from.”

Liu Ting nodded thoughtfully, "Then you can give me two agricultural books, and your uncle and I can read them in our spare time."

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, went back to the room to get the book, and gave him a "Three Character Classic" by the way, "I mean to send cousin Lun and the others to study, but they don't seem to be willing. Actually, it's not that they want to take the exam The imperial examination, but knowing more characters is always beneficial."
