Hybrid rice

The stones in the river are shared by the villagers. If anyone wants to use stones to build a house, they go directly to the river to find them, and no one will say anything.

Xie's family didn't use too many stones. It took only three nights for four cars and people to carry them.

The master who fired the greenhouse still had a job to do. When he came with his workers, the original hilltop had been cleared, and the newly turned land was just waiting for sowing.

The new batch of corn is heading. These days, the villagers are busy watering their fields. Every household is scrambling to provide enough water for the field before heading, which leads to the lack of water in the canal.

For this reason, the people who planted grains staggered the time of opening water with others, and went to the ground to release water in the middle of the night in the middle of the night. Even so, they ran into time with three or four families. Although the canal is wide, the land in the village is also large. When it is small, it will permeate in place and cannot flow to the edge of the ground.

The weather is cold, and the few families rushing to release the water will inevitably have some disputes and complain to each other.Crops are related to the livelihood of the whole family for a year. Whether we can have a good harvest and whether we will be hungry in the second half of the year depends on these few days.

At this time, people in the village don't bother to say that a village is full of relatives with broken bones and tendons. Lung tubes made the village uneasy for two days.

The village chief went to each family to be a peacemaker in a hurry. Those with minor problems were settled with a few words of peace, and those with serious problems were ordered to go to the ancestral hall and punished on both sides, and then they all behaved obediently.

This kind of situation happens once a year. After scolding and beating, the relationship between the neighbors remains the same, and they walk together in groups in their spare time.If the troubles are really bad, they will hate each other for a few years, but if there is a funeral or wedding in the family, they will usually get back together.

Such a friendship full of human fireworks may sound absurd, but it is the truest portrayal of the bottom people.

No matter how deep the friendship between relatives and neighbors is, it is nothing compared to the hunger of the whole family; but if you have gone through the most difficult time, you can take care of each other as much as you can.

Nowadays, there are a lot of corn in the village, and the demand for water is more than when planting sweet potatoes. After the dispute, every household has put enough water in the field before the earing of corn. More.

With the increase in the population of the village, the water flow of the big canal built decades ago in the village is obviously not enough. The main body of the big canal is not as strong as before, and there are many places that collapse and leak.

Thinking that the village might plant more corn in the future, the old village chief thought about it, and wanted to take advantage of the slack season to renovate and expand the large aqueduct in the village, so that it would not be as troublesome as it was this year when the water was released in the future. .

Some people couldn't hold back their thoughts once they had thoughts in their hearts. The village chief thought about it all night, and early the next morning he called several elders in the village to discuss the matter of rebuilding the canal.

The Xie family was not affected at all by the problem of water discharge. There was a small stream between the two hills owned by their family, which was not used by their family. It is very convenient to release water at any time.

And not far from the two hills, there is a spring seeping from the cracks in the rocks. The spring water is not much, only as thick as a large bamboo tube, and it is enough for eating, drinking and washing on weekdays.

When the water was released, some people also thought about the stream between the two hills of Xie's house. Zhao Wangtou's land was the closest to Xie's house. The place is not far from his home, and it is very convenient to release water.But if you want to follow the water from the big canal in the village, it will be far away.

It's just that the original channel of the mountain stream is not here, and the Xie family changed it for the convenience of irrigation. If they want to use it, they have to wait for the Xie family's approval.

Zhao Wangtou couldn't help it. The water in the canal basically couldn't flow to their house, and it was cut off from above. When he found it, they almost put half of the land, and it couldn't be stopped.

Seeing that Baogu had pulled out the small tassels, Zhao Wangtou went to the door of Xie's house with the few two catties of bacon in his house.

Although he is also greedy for the two catties of meat, compared with the two catties of bacon, the more than one mu of corn-covered land is the ration to feed the whole family, and he is still very clear about this.

The Xie family's attitude was beyond his expectation, after Xie Yi asked his master for instructions, he allowed Zhao Wangtou to use the water from the canal without affecting the Xie family.

And the two catties of bacon turned into fresh and tender little celery in Zhao Wangtou's house, and the little celery turned into thin dumpling stuffing in Chunlai's hands, and the dumplings with shrimp and meat were extra delicious.

It's not that Xie's family is not generous, others refuse to use some water.It's just that once this example is started, those people will not be as sensible as they are now, and they will take it for granted for a long time, so it's better not to start it.

Xie Yifeng led people to plant crops and medicinal materials on the hilltop, while Ye Yuanxian observed the rice in the field. Rice and wheat are the most expensive food in Tianyou Country, but they are not the food that ordinary people eat the most.

After all, judging from today's production technology, the yield of wheat and rice is too low, and the growth environment is also harsh, which is not conducive to large-scale planting.

Rice is mainly concerned with drought resistance and yield. Ye Yuanxian tried to reduce the southern rice's dependence on water sources, and use spiritual power to help prevent its yield from decreasing.

But he failed. Once the assistance of spiritual power was removed, the rice that lacked water quickly withered, and all the immature rice on the tassels fell off.

Obviously, it is impossible to simply use spiritual power to assist the rice to adapt to the environment, so then he will honestly use hybridization methods to improve the seeds step by step.

No one lived around Xie's house, and ordinary people would not come here.Ye Yuanxian generously used his spiritual power to pollinate the rice ears that had already matured, and then quickly stimulated them to mature.

The mature hybrid rice was stimulated to grow again, and it was found that its yield was slightly higher, but it was not obvious.The dependence on water sources has dropped a lot.

It seems that the local rice species had the upper hand in the hybridization process, so Ye Yuanxian first increased the proportion of high-yielding southern rice species, and then continued to hybridize with the first-generation hybridized rice species.

The results of each hybridization are different. Ye Yuanxian discarded the seeds that did not improve significantly, and then selected the best among the best. Finally, after seven days, a stable hybrid rice with a yield half higher than that of the local rice species was produced.

Ye Yuanxian planted the rice and urged it to earing, and then asked Xie Yi and the others to plant it in the reserved paddy field at the bottom of the big mountain, allowing it to head and mature naturally.

Xie Yi, who received his master's order, was full of respect. Since the last time the Zhao family was besieged, their master no longer concealed all kinds of magic in front of them. Xie Yi and the others were not frightened by the magic shown by their master. Faithful and respectful.

Just like now, Xie Yi and the others looked at the rice seedlings in the donkey cart that were obviously not suitable for planting and did not raise any questions. They respectfully sprinkled a layer of fermented fertilizer on the paddy field according to what their master said, The rice that is about to head has been planted well.

They believed for no reason that the rice given by their master would survive intact.

The fact is indeed as they expected, after only one night, the rice has no trace of just planting, but like the one that grew before, the fresh and light yellow flower spikes are pulled out.

Ye Yuanxian's experiments did not stop. There is a large area of ​​fertile land in the north, but because of the water quality and temperature limitations, even where there is water, the rice yield is not high.

Ye Yuanxian will not directly improve the genetics of rice in a whimsical way so that it can grow in dry land, but it can improve the adaptability of rice so that it can survive in the north with water supply and increase its yield.

Such a thing cannot be researched overnight, even though Ye Yuanxian's cultivation base is not low, he still worked so hard until the end of the whole summer that he selected five kinds of rice and planted them on his own mountain bag.

Thunderstorms for five consecutive days announced the end of summer. When the first autumn wind blew, Xie's greenhouse had not yet been built, but the rice in the village had already matured.

There are many rice-growing families in Youluo Village, and the well-connected families meet to harvest rice together. The women cut off the rice with a sickle and put them neatly together; the men pull the tripping bucket to thresh the harvested rice .

"Bump—" The ears of rice hit the wooden wall of the tripping bucket with a dull sound, which spread far away.

This year's rain is good and the temperature is high. The rice yield is higher than in recent years.

The Xie family is also harvesting the rice in the field. The difference from the others is that the height and yield of the rice in the five fields are different. Because the climate is suitable, the rice seed obtained by hybridization with the local rice has the highest yield.

Although the other four are slightly inferior, Ye Yuanxian has simulated the environment in which they grow, so the yield is not too bad, at least half the yield of the original seeds.

Xie Yi and the others took off their blouses that were in the way, and beat the rice vigorously with their bare arms, while Chunlai and the others quickly cut the rice in front.

Ye Yuanxian touched the rice noodles a little loosely, and Chunlai smiled and said, "Master, at first glance, our rice production is high. If every household's rice production is so high, then the common people will be in a hurry in the future." You can eat rice."

After hearing this, Xie Yifeng asked with a smile, "Do you like rice?"

Xie Liu spoke quickly, and took the lead to reply: "Master, both rice and noodles are delicious, and they are comfortable in the stomach. We all like them. Then there are corn noodles and buckwheat noodles. Although the taste is not as good as rice noodles, sometimes they are delicious. It made my stomach sour, but it was also delicious."

"The worst thing to eat is sorghum noodles and rice bran. If you eat it, you will burn your mouth and swallow it, and you will burn your heart, and you will not be able to see the sun and wind after eating it. Otherwise, your face will burn when the sun shines on it, and it hurts when the wind blows. very."

The other younger ones also chuckled. What they didn't say was that these two things are not tasty and they are not easy to pass. If you are not careful, you will have to see blood in your buttocks to pass.

Xie Liu and the others were used to seeing other people's faces in the military camp, and the food they ate was also the worst.The sorghum noodles and rice mixed with rice bran are their most common food.

Only when they arrive at Xie's family can they eat delicious rice and noodles every day, which is one of the reasons why they are so loyal to Xie's family.
