Chapter 130 Sowing Sowing
"Is it the taste?"
Dong Junwei thought about Tang Jing's words and thought of the celery leaves he had eaten before. The taste of thick fiber was really hard to swallow. At first, there was a shortage of food, but it didn't matter. But as time went by, As things get better gradually and human society gradually recovers, the requirements for quality of life will naturally increase.
If vegetables can only be like this forever in the future, it will really be a headache. You can't always squeeze and eat them.
"The taste is indeed one thing."
Tang Jing said with a smile: "This is especially true for stem and leaf vegetables. Potatoes and the like are not as delicate as before. The most troublesome thing is tomatoes, which may only be made into ketchup. "
But What I want to say is actually not this aspect. "
"Um?
"Do you know how potatoes are grown? " "
Tang Jing held the potato in her hand in front of everyone.
"Potato seeds? "Zhu Hao was confused.
"Pfft...can you stop being funny? Potatoes are grown from potatoes. "Wei Dalei is relatively clear about this point.
"Huh? Are potatoes themselves seeds? "
This really stumps me. Potatoes are roots, right..." Old Wei, who had barely heard anything in class, was speechless. "
It should be stems, tubers..." Chang Junyan scratched his hands and said.
"Stems can also be used. sowing? "
Hey, although biology is not within the scope of the college entrance examination, you don't have to do this. I talked about it in class." "Du Jiajia rebuked everyone bitterly.
"Oh, tell me. "
"I also forgot..." "
..."
The college entrance examination in Shangshi is different from other places. In addition to the three main subjects, you can choose three subjects from the six subjects of politics, history, geography, biology, physics, and chemistry. , no longer divided into arts and sciences.
And biology is probably the least popular among the six subjects. Du Jiajia, who even chose biology, did not put much energy into it.
Several students had a great discussion, and Chen Mu and others were ashamed Stay with them.
In the end, it was Dong Junwei who said: "Potatoes are plants of the Solanaceae family. They will also bloom and produce seeds. However, potato seeds are generally not used for sowing. Instead, potatoes are allowed to germinate and then buried directly in the soil.
"Just plant a whole potato? " "Zhu Hao was confused.
"This..." Dong Junwei, who had only read about it in books but had never set foot on a crop field, was speechless for a moment.
Tang Jing smiled and said: "Considering the cost, I usually cut it into pieces before planting. "
Oh..."
Everyone suddenly realized something.
"You mean, you can grow your own vegetables?" "
Although we don't know whether the reduction will affect planting, it is indeed an idea that needs to be tried." "Tang Jing said.
"If it really succeeds, doesn't it mean that we don't have to worry about vegetables in the future? "
Prior to this, Chen Mu and others have discussed this issue.
Compared with meat, the problem of vegetables and grain may be more serious.
Although plant foods that are not scarce can be obtained through collection, this has Two huge problems.
First, the taste of edible plants that can be found nearby is far inferior to that of ordinary vegetables. Over the long years, humans have selected some plants as food, which means that the remaining ones are either inedible or not edible. Delicious.
Second, gathering, like hunting, is not a stable source of food after all. It is even more dangerous and difficult than the latter. In addition
, fresh fruit is almost impossible to obtain at present.
There are several peach trees in the school. But they are all for viewing, and the fruits produced are very small, have no sweetness, and are difficult to pick.
Tang Jing threw the potatoes back to the ground and said: "At present, it seems that farming your own land is a very good direction, but There are still many problems to be solved. "
"What?
"First of all, where do we plant? " "
Uh..."
"If you plant it anywhere outside, people will find it. For such a small plant, a rain will probably wash away the roots."
"Then plant it at home? " The space here is actually enough, right? If not, how about clearing out a shelf? "Du Jiajia is the most active one in this regard.
"It seems that is the only way. "Tang Jing nodded.
"Then let's do it now?
" It's not that fast. " Tang Jing smiled and said: "There are still many problems. First, we need to transport the soil in. Secondly, lighting, watering, fertilizing, pollination... these must all be planned before they can be implemented. And this month, it has already been completed." After the planting time, if you want to force planting, you have to build a greenhouse..."
Everyone here has a knowledge of agricultural knowledge, which is even lower than that of industry. After Tang Jing said this, for a moment, it felt like farming There's no chance.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm weakening, Tang Jing smiled and comforted: "It's okay. If you start little by little, you will succeed sooner or later. "
Dong Junwei also said: "What we are doing, on a larger scale, is an agricultural revolution for all mankind. It is normal to have difficulties, but once it succeeds, there is no doubt that it will directly usher in a new era! "
Just after saying this,
Wei Dalei suddenly took the lead in applauding.
In the past meetings, most of them would end with Dong Junwei's concluding speech. As a senior executive of Qiming, Wei Dalei rarely used his brains during meetings and often lost his mind. For fear of being affected, he would not be affected
. Well, Chen Mu gave him an idea. As soon as Dong Junwei finished speaking a concluding sentence, he would quickly applaud. That was right. As a result, Lao Wei became more and more like a
puppet at the variety show, even though he had no idea what he said. , but he is always able to sensitively grasp the atmosphere and take the lead in applauding.
This time is no exception.
When everyone sees him applauding, they naturally can only follow suit.
Because of the habit developed in meetings, the crowd's applause is very rhythmic and stops. It was basically uniform at the time.
However, after the applause stopped, a thin clapping sound was heard from behind.
Apparently, it was because they did not expect everyone to stop suddenly.
Everyone was stunned.
They all turned around.
Only a thin girl named Gu Yinglong was seen. I don’t know when she crawled back into the iron cage, sat on the ground and applauded with everyone.
Her face was still calm, and she didn’t seem to have any feelings about Dong Junwei’s words. She just clapped when others applauded. .
However, when she saw everyone looking at her, Gu Yinglong's hands suddenly froze in the air. After a moment, she slowly put them down in embarrassment.
