Chapter 11: Popularizing "Improved Breeds" (please collect and vote for me)

At Captain Cao's house, Cao Chungui carried the distributed grain into the house. He was a tall man of 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders and a round waist. He carried a bag of 150 kilograms of corn as lightly as he carried a ball of cotton.

Sun Jianping also carried a bag of corns into the house. For him who is 1.74 meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms, this weight is nothing.

If you are young and strong and can't carry this little thing, then stop hanging around in the countryside and hang yourself with a hemp rope!
There are five people in the Cao family, and they have been divided into more than 1,400 kilograms of grain, plus more than 200 kilograms of corn harvested from the three-thirds of the family's private land, and they are all gathered in this pile.

Corn, wheat, millet, millet... plus two sacks of potatoes, all piled up in the east wing, a total of 1,700 kilograms, this will be the food for next year.

Li Xiuzhi looked sad. The so-called clever woman can't make a living without rice. This small amount of food is not enough to support a large family, but it is not enough for her husband to make food!

How sad!

"Mom, look, it's delicious!" Xiao Wuyue held a cloth bag in both hands, her face turned red from suppressing it, and she moved into the house step by step. It contained rice distributed by the production team to the big guys, and placed it in front of her mother like a treasure. .

Li Xiuzhi grabbed a handful and put it in the palm of her hand, her eyes suddenly lit up!
"Jianping, is this the ration for you educated youths? I remember we don't grow rice at all in Gada..."

"We have to go to the commune to get our rations!"

"Then where does this rice come from?"

Captain Cao walked into the house with a sad look on his face. He pushed open the wooden door of the east wing and took a look at the little food he had been given. He sighed, turned around and entered the main room.

"Grandpa, look, it's delicious!" Xiao Wuyue, a young man who didn't know how to feel sad, grabbed the rice in the bag and showed it to the old man.

"Well, the rice is good. Let's ask Mom to grind the rice someday, and we can make rice to eat." The old man forced a smile and touched his granddaughter's little head, "Let's go play!"

"Uncle Cao, this is not enough. Less than three hundred kilograms of grain is not enough for one person..."

"Jianping, you are from a big city in the capital, and you are well-educated. You are better than us old farmers with a head full of sorghum seeds. Can you give me some advice? What should we do next year?"

Captain Cao rolled up a cigarette, twisted off the butt, lit it with a match, and asked him.

"Rice." Sun Jianping grabbed a handful of rice, spread it on the edge of the kang, and fiddled with the grains one by one. "We are close to the Gulu River and there are a lot of riverbanks. I don't think it is worse than this. Next year we will find a piece of land to drain the river water." Lead us there and plant rice too!”

Lao Cao nodded in approval, "Isn't that right? Director Xu collected our wolf meat and gave me a sack of rice. I was also thinking about whether I could find a piece of land to plant it, but to grow rice, we have to go down to the saline-alkali land. They are all hilly, which way to go!"

"Yes! Why not!" Li Xiuzhi, who was doing needlework at the side, interjected, "Dad, the land by the river in our village is all deserted."

"Those fields are not good. If the water rises in summer, they will all be flooded!"

Sun Jianping frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, "Uncle Cao, there is a piece of land in our village, which is the land in the northwest of the village near the Tudui Temple. I went there when I was mowing grass in the summer, and all the Suaeda grass grew there. , the area is quite large, and the terrain is low. If you open a canal along the river, you can divert the water..."

"Can that piece of land be used?" Lao Cao suddenly thought of the low-lying land where the land master was provided, and slapped his thigh hard. He was so confused!

Isn’t it just right to grow rice on that saline-alkali land?
It's over... It's over. I divided the rice seeds. Now it's hard to plant them...

Lao Cao took two long puffs of cigarette, his brows knitted into a knot. Sun Jianping saw what he was thinking, grabbed a handful of rice, pinched out a grain, bit it open, and looked at the quality.

"If you want to grow good rice, you must first have good rice seeds. These rice seeds are not good, they are all flat. To grow rice, you must use hybrid seeds!"

"What are they called hybrids?" When Lao Cao heard that these seeds were not good, he immediately felt much better.

"Hybrids are animals or plants that are produced by crossing multiple parents. According to the laws of genetics, hybrid seeds have the advantage of high yield. However, our seeds have been planted for many years and inbreeding has resulted in..."

The old man's eyes were filled with stars when he heard this.

What a hybrid, what a close relative...

I do know that Fool Fan’s father and mother are cousins, close relatives!

It’s such a shame to give birth to such a tiger! "Let me tell you this, if you want to grow high-yielding rice, you have to change the seeds. After years of inbreeding, the genetic traits of the rice that Director Xu gave us have begun to degrade. Even if they are planted, they will not grow good seedlings." Sun Jianping It’s also a headache. Teaching genetics to an old farmer who has never even attended private school is not only difficult for him, but even more difficult for me!

Uncle Cao scratched his head depressedly, "What you said makes sense. During the commune meetings, they always talked about changing breeds. I thought they were changing breeds for cattle and horses..."

Sun Jianping also laughed, "My second uncle works at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. They specialize in cultivating improved seeds. Tomorrow I will write him a letter and ask him to buy some improved seeds. If we plant them next year, the corns will surely grow big sticks and the rice ears will be crushed. bend over!"

"It costs a lot of money to buy high-quality seeds!"

"We grow the food and sell the money and then pay them back!"

"That's great!" Uncle Cao squinted his eyes, imagining the beautiful scene of mountains full of rice waves, wiped his face, and laughed.

We old farmers who farm the fields always look forward to a good harvest in our dreams!
"Not only do you need good breeds for farming, but you also need good breeds for raising horses and cattle. I think the calf born from the red and white cow this time is not in good shape. Titi Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai is always sick. If it doesn't work, we will work with other production teams. Let's change..."

"As expected of a man with a great education, it makes sense!" Captain Cao nodded repeatedly. No wonder the older generation said that to find a wife, you have to find a wife from afar. It is probably the "hybrid advantage" thing!

Although Uncle Cao did not receive any systematic education and only studied in the literacy class for half a year in the early days of liberation, his mind was flexible and quick, and he did not get into trouble when encountering problems. He understood all the "theories" mentioned by Sun Jianping!
Doesn’t everything you do these days require good seeds?
To marry a daughter-in-law and to recruit a son-in-law, don’t you also need a “good seed”?
Otherwise, you will be born with crooked melons and cracked dates!
"Master, Jianping and Dad chatted for a long time just now. I feel that Dad's anger has returned..."

At night, Li Xiuzhi and Cao Chungui slept on the kang in the west room, and Li Xiuzhi whispered in a low voice.

"No, Jianping is an intellectual. He has something in his head, which is much better than those of us with blind eyes." Cao Chungui hugged his wife, "Tomorrow we will go hunting in the mountains, and I will think about getting a fox skin for you. Mom, make me a scarf to prevent her from looking down on me..."

"We'd better not mess with that fox thing. It's too evil. If you get it, you won't be able to shake it off."

"Okay, let me think of something else!"

Sun Jianping was lying on the kang in the main room. Xiao Wuyue and Wenxing were clinging to him. They got into his bed one on the left and the other on the right. They held his arms with their little hands and slept soundly.

Comrade Lao Cao was sleeping on the kang, snoring loudly.

There was another person at the end of the kang, an eight-and-a-half-pound old civet cat, who was also sleeping with his arms and legs spread out.

Sun Jianping breathed a sigh of relief, quietly took out the small red bottle he picked up in the old forest, and began to rub it carefully.

The small bottle seems to be made of some kind of jade. It is orange-yellow and crystal clear. You can even see traces of water-like ripples flowing inside through the naked eye.

He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured it out. He thought it contained medicine or some kind of "elixir", but unfortunately nothing came out.

He suddenly remembered the "magic weapon" mentioned in some time-travel novels of later generations, and he thought with joy. Could it be that he also picked up the magic weapon?

With a roll of his eyes, he grabbed the cotton coat placed on the edge of the kang, took out two black beans leftover from feeding the horses from his pocket and threw them in. When he poured them out again, a shocking scene appeared!

There are four black beans!
He was immediately overjoyed and poured four more black beans in. When he poured them out again, there were still four.

It turned out to be a replica bottle!
It's a pity that it can only be copied once!
You can still play like this!
Sun Jianping sighed leisurely and stuffed the small bottle into his cotton-padded coat pocket. Others who had traveled through time had all kinds of bug systems and could do anything in the world. Why did they give me a small broken bottle?
The key is that something can only be copied once...

Damn it!

With a depressed mood, he pulled up the quilt, yawned, pulled out the civet cat that had gotten into the quilt, tucked the patched quilt tightly, and fell asleep.

At dawn, someone's big rooster crowed. Sun Jianping opened his eyes and pinched the little face of little Wuyue who was still sleeping. At this time, Uncle Cao got up early and went out to pick up manure with a basket.

"Wang Jingang, that bastard, must have missed work again today!"

Sun Jianping carefully pulled out his arms from the two children, put on his clothes and went to the ground. As soon as he opened the door, a cold air mixed with ice hit his face, making him shiver!

Winter in the Northeast has officially arrived!
"Jianping, feed the bay horse more, that horse has been tired recently!"
