Age of asexual reproduction

Not coming out, I could only curse bitterly in my heart: "Julian, you'd better come up with some results quickly."

On the farm, An Xin and An Ping took a look a few days ago and fertilized a piece of the worst-growing soil golden egg. Unexpectedly, within a few days, this piece of soil golden egg grew rapidly It is obvious that the fertilizer effect is really good.

After being forced to donate his children and grandchildren again, Yuan Hao finally returned to the farm and started breeding rice.The soil and gold egg fields that have been harvested also need to be tidied up, and sweet potato seedlings are ready to be planted.The most important thing is that the pumpkin seedlings have grown so large that they have to be transplanted quickly.

Most of the pumpkin seedlings were taken out from the space, and some were assigned to the people sent by Li Yi. They took them back and planted them in other farms. Now there are so many pumpkin seedlings that the three farms cannot digest them.For this reason, Yuan Hao deliberately went out pretending to build a car, mysteriously packed a car full of pumpkin seedlings, and let Li Yi's people take them back. Of course, he also taught them some experience in growing pumpkins, which is actually very simple. .Yuan Hao himself didn't take special care of pumpkins. In his heart, pumpkins are good things that can bloom and bear fruit even if they don't need to be taken care of. In the countryside, where do you use serious fields? They are all planted at the door of the house. All of them are growing very well, there are too many pumpkins to eat, and most of them are thrown away or fed to pigs.

For many days in a row, Yuan Hao led everyone to be busy, harvesting golden eggs, loading pumpkin seedlings, planting sweet potato seedlings, harvesting wheat, and breeding rice. He was very busy.This season's wheat harvest was good. Seeing the harvested wheat ears in bundles, Yuan Hao was worried. He had to use a machine to harvest the wheat. If he used hand tools, it would be too tiring and the effect would be much worse.When I was at home in the countryside, they were all harvested by machine, and what was brought home was already wheat, not ears of wheat like now.After checking the information, it was easy to find the threshing machine, and it didn't take long to produce five or six hundred catties of wheat.

"Hey, there is so much wheat, I have to find a way to grind some flour to eat." Yuan Hao looked happily at the dozen or so bags of wheat piled up in the space.

"I really want to eat them. Didn't you say you want to keep them all as seeds?" Anping asked a little puzzled.

"Oh, I grew it myself. It's nothing to eat, but I don't eat all of it." Yuan Hao smelled the aroma of wheat, and noodles and steamed buns were already floating in front of his eyes. Flow down.

If you want to grind wheat into flour before you can eat it, you have to get a flour mill first, but Yuan Hao doesn’t know if there is a machine for processing flour here, and even if there is a machine, it’s a complete set of equipment, so it can’t be used here, and it can’t be put down .After thinking about it, it would be better to get the oldest stone mill, as long as it can grind flour, I don't care about refined flour.

Yuan Hao thought for a long time, and ordered Awang and Afu to find two stones of the same size and weight. It took a day to make a simple stone mill. Fortunately, there were two robots, and they were not afraid of it. Tired, according to Yuan Hao's teaching, carve patterns on the stones, and then polish the two stones into round shapes. Both stones must be carved well, and a small hole must be made in the top one for The wheat goes in and grinds.A handle had to be attached to the side to turn the mill, which was the most troublesome, and it took them a lot of effort to get it right.

Fortunately, his family used to have this kind of ancient thing, and it can still be used now. In the past, people in the family and the village came to grind rice noodles, especially when the glutinous rice flour was ground, the children would come up and grab a handful of it. I ate it in my mouth, it was dry and choking, and I laughed happily.But after the electric grinder, the stone grinder was thrown aside and no one used it.In fact, he always felt that the powder made by the stone mill was more fragrant and more original.

Seeing the yellow-white flour falling from the mill, An Xin and An Ping's eyes widened.This stone mill was not big in the first place, and a few big men have enough strength. I thought that a bag of flour would be ground soon, but I didn't expect that the stone mill is quite troublesome. Yuan Hao never thought of it Trouble.Because wheat has a shell, the stone mill cannot grind the shell into powder. It needs to be ground and sifted again. There is no such thing as a sieve, so a sand net is used instead. After doing this several times, the wheat is ground into flour. The sifted bran was originally used to feed pigs, so it is useless here, so Yuan Hao told An Xin to put it away first.After grinding the stone mill for a day, a few big men finally produced a bag of original flour.

"Hey, it's so troublesome, don't you all have to do this when eating flour before?" An Xin asked puzzled, it took a lot of time.

"That's right, why not just cook it and eat it?" Anping was even more direct.

"It's edible if you cook it directly, but it's not delicious at all. I used to eat flour and bought it directly from the market. Our rural family also sold wheat directly to the processing plant. The processing plant has machines to process it into refined flour. I want to eat it." It’s good to just go and buy it when you’re ready. Who has nothing to do, and I use a stone mill to grind flour at home. Speaking of which, this is the first time for me to do this job. I still listen to my grandma when I was young. The method I mentioned before, otherwise, I wouldn’t even want to eat flour today.” Yuan Hao explained a lot, and An Xin and An Ping finally understood that there are special machines to do this job, and if they rely exclusively on manpower , is still really troublesome.

"Okay, I'll make gnocchi soup for everyone tonight." Yuan Hao thought for a while, it would take a lot of work to make noodles or steamed buns from this flour, and he still doesn't know if this kind of semolina is good to use Well, it's better to come up with the simplest method.I directly mixed a small half of the flour paste in the pot, boiled the water, took a small spoon, and scooped the flour paste into the water one by one, watching the small white dough immediately float in the boiling water, and soon boiled I made a large pot of noodle soup, added some oil, salt and green vegetables to the soup, and added two frangipane flowers, and a pot of fragrant and nutritious noodle soup was ready.

The flour was thick and fragrant. Everyone twitched their index fingers and drank a few sips, before Yuan Hao smiled and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's so delicious, the taste is really good, and it's very fragrant. I wish I could eat this kind of wheat every day in the future." An Xin said a lot with her mouth full of noodle soup.

"If everyone grows wheat, everyone will be able to eat such delicious food in the future." Anping felt a little heavy when he thought that what he and the others were eating was growing wheat.

"My current output is already good, and it will double next year. In three to five years, I may be able to plant a large amount of rice. The same is true for rice. It is estimated that within ten years, everyone will be able to eat rice. And flour." Yuan Hao was so proud that he didn't worry about the food issue at all.It was as if he had grown enough food to feed thousands of people.

"It would be great if that's the case." Both An Xin and An Ping were a little skeptical, mainly because there was only so little land in the space, and how much could be harvested if they were all planted with wheat and rice, and the fields outside might not be suitable for planting.

"Okay, don't worry about it, let's take it slowly. This season, I'm going to try to grow some rice on the farm to see if I can get some millet. I'll try to grow some wheat next year. If not, it's okay Let Li Yi find some good fields for us, and let's concentrate on going to various places to try planting, I don't believe that within ten years, I will not be able to plant." Yuan Hao is not worried, the environment around the farm is obviously in danger now. better.

The few small trees that he moved into the space at that time have grown a lot now, not to mention, and some young saplings have also grown.They also surreptitiously moved the larger tree to the farm, and moved the smaller tree nearby.After the saplings in the space grow up, he will continue to move trees for afforestation. These trees, including his orange tree, will gradually be turned into a forest by him.

When I ate oranges, some of the seeds I dropped grew into new small orange trees. Now I have transplanted some of them, hoping they can grow up and become fruit-bearing trees after marriage.Although it is still very small now, in a few years, maybe there will be an orange forest. Even if it cannot bear fruit or the fruit is not tasty, it is not bad to be a green tree.

Yuan Hao still likes to plant more trees near his home, preferably with green trees, so that the environment and air will be good, so he has always been serious about the afforestation activity.Even the soil in the space, they slowly dug out some, mainly soil from paddy fields.These soils have played a big role in the farm. They are obviously more nutritious than the soil on the farm, and the crops grown are very good.

Yuan Hao sometimes wondered if he could dig out more soil from the space and mix it up to improve the local soil quality, so that the soil quality here is similar to that of the space, and it would be more effective if he planted crops, but he was afraid of using the soil in the space Digged out, not enough.

He has always only dared to transport the soil dug from the paddy field.In this way, he managed to create a fertile field of two or three mu. He deliberately found a very barren land near the farm. Now it is full of orange saplings and pumpkin saplings. The trees are still small and will not Cover the light of pumpkins. In the past, when we were in the countryside, some crops would be planted in the small fruit tree fields. When the fruit trees grow up and bear fruit, generally no crops will be planted. Now the orange trees and pumpkin seedlings have survived, although they are not as good as It's in the upper space, but it looks pretty good. It's a big green area at a glance, which is very gratifying.

"Hey, tell me, after ten years, will our place be surrounded by green trees?" Yuan Hao asked.
