Chapter 384： Achievement

Mr. Liu was instructing the blog post to write a strategy. When he saw Mu Yangling nodded slightly, he lowered his head and continued to read. He had already decided to participate in this year's autumn festival, so the time was very tight.

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

Breathing the fresh air, Bo Wen patted his chest and said, "It's very stressful to read books together now."

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

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

"How many days?"

"I'll be able to finish things in about five days here, and I'll probably stay for seven or eight days when I get home. Of course, you can only stay for two or three days, and you still need to study. I'll ask Cousin Lang to take you there."

Bo Wen thought for a while and then nodded, "Then I told my husband, hurry up with your homework, I'm going home for three days."

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, Bo Wen went home to match his mother and younger siblings, and Mu Yangling went back mainly to see the situation in the experimental field.

The climate in Xingzhou Prefecture is still not good this year. This is unfortunate for Mu Yangling, but it is also a blessing. In this way, unfortunately, the crops in the field will definitely fail. Fortunately, it is possible to test the quality of those rice seeds. Can it withstand drought.

When Mu Yangling returned to Chenggutun, Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were also in the fields, and they were fertilizing one mu of rice to compare the situation without fertilizing.

Liu Ting was very excited to see her and said: "A Ling, after last year's drought-resistant seeds are indeed much better than the previous ones, look at the comparison between the two sides, 80% of last year's seeds were filled, just like everyone else, they bought good seeds from grain shops. So far, only 30% of the grouting is done, and the difference is too obvious."

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

Mu Yangling pinched the ears of rice that had just been grouted, and his eyes lit up, "Especially pay attention to the pests on the drought-resistant side. Last time I came here, I found that the rice here seems to be more attractive to pests."

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "If there are good-looking ones here to eat, pests will naturally come over."

Mu Yangling is not sure if this is the reason. It has to find a place to try again. At least the growth conditions of the two sides can be compared to be comparable. I don't know when the conclusion will be reached, but it will take a long time to do this. time.

"Whether this is the reason or not, it should be recorded in detail. Although the grain has been filled, it will take more than a month to harvest. Once something goes wrong, the five acres of rice will be wasted."

Liu Ting's face was solemn, Liu Yuan looked at the two and said, "This is all grouted."

Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian also laughed: "Girl, although there is still more than a month, we farmers can estimate the harvest only by looking at the grouting situation."

Mu Yangling was puzzled, "Hasn't there been a rice blast or a pest disaster and no harvest?"

In her previous life, when she went to the fields to play, she often heard farmers complaining that they all had harvests, but they encountered rice blasts or insect plagues, and no grains were harvested. Although she was small, her memory was always with her. It became clearer as I came into contact with planting in this life.

Chen Sanzhu said: "I have encountered insect plagues, but I have only seen them once when I am so old. It is quite miserable. One acre of land can't even collect seeds, but we shouldn't be so unlucky, right? My father It's only 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 her best to recall the rice blast that the farmers' uncles talked about that year, and described: "It seems that the rice straw or the bottom is diseased, and nutrients and water cannot be transported to the top, and then the rice that is about to mature. It's dead, 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 the old man in our village say it, but I can't remember it clearly, but girl, whether it is Insect pests or rice blasts, we don’t usually encounter them, not even once in ten years.”

Are the bugs in this world so conscientious? In the previous life, the creatures that everyone could not kill with pesticides were not particularly worried here.

"Then you can estimate the yield, but you still need to record their growth status," Mu Yangling paused, and said, "In the field, try to find out if there is a male rice that grows particularly well but does not head. "

The four of them widened their eyes, "Is there still a male and a female for rice?"

This name was chosen by Mu Yangling herself. She has never studied agriculture, so she can only infer from some general impressions, "Rice is generally hermaphrodite, but some rice has only males, so it seems that they only bloom and do not bear fruit. The rice is very drought-resistant and disaster-resistant, I want it to mate with the rice we are growing 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, Liu Ting thought about it: "It's almost like grafting a fruit tree."

Mu Yangling nodded, "The principle is similar, both are combining two varieties in order to get a better variety, not only this male rice, but also wild rice that grows in the wild. They are in the wild and no one fertilizes the loose soil. Watering and weeding, but it can grow tenaciously. It must be better than the rice grown in our field in some aspects. Although I don’t know whether the rice produced by mating will be better than the current one, but after a few more experiments, it may be able to Finding good rice seeds, at least everyone has a choice in the end."

Hearing the words, all four were eager to try.

If new rice seeds can be bred, even if they haven't read many books, they know that this feat is enough to go down in history.

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

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

Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian Liu Yuan had to continue fertilizing, but Liu Ting followed Mu Yangling back, and the three of them didn't care. When there were four, they were also led by Liu Ting.

Liu Yuan is because Liu Ting is the big brother in the hall, and the family has always listened to him, and he is 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, and Mu Yangling had also said that they would obey Liu Ting's orders, so they met Liu Ting. Following Mu Yangling back, they just thought he was going to report the situation.

Liu Ting did report the situation, but this was 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 yes, some are not, uncle, sometimes reading a book requires more brains, and thinking can open up a new road, although I don't know whether that road leads to the abyss or to the Sunshine Avenue, But we always have to find out before we can go up, and only by going 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 must 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 copy of the Three Character Classic, "I meant to send Cousin Lun and the others to study, but they didn't seem to be willing, but it wasn't actually asking them to take the exam. Imperial examinations, but knowing more characters is always good."
