Chapter 293 Why is your mouth swollen?

Pingyang County, Shanqian Village.

Vegetable greenhouses, as the name suggests, are greenhouses for growing vegetables. Of course, in later generations, various herbs and even tall woody fruits and various mushrooms also entered the greenhouses.

Naturally, I only grow various vegetables at this time.

After personally participating in the planting experiments of 14 greenhouses, Zhao Wenmu suddenly realized how materially barren this era was.

It is no exaggeration to say that, except for cucumbers, which taste the same as those eaten in later generations, all other vegetables have either undergone great changes in taste, weight, and appearance, or simply disappeared.

And all kinds of vegetables that were common in later generations are not seen at all now!

It’s just a few decades!

Even for cucumbers, there are only long, tattooed cucumbers at the moment. In later generations, there will be no cucumbers, such as thick, thin, long or short cucumbers.

It took the ancients thousands of years to turn foxtail grass into millet.

It only takes a few decades for modern people to do even more incredible things.

He has always thought that the biggest changes in these 40 years of change were technology, industry, and ideas.

But I never thought that it is actually agriculture! It is people’s dining table!

Agriculture with its face facing the loess and its back facing the sky! The dirtiest, most tiring, most inconspicuous, but also the most important!

At the same time, there are also the biggest changes!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the Chinese can proudly say that they are the nation that is best at and likes farming the most, so the progress of agriculture is actually a matter of course, right?

It's just that people's eyes generally grow on the top of their heads and they are not very good at lowering their heads to pay attention to those busy figures in the fields.

The vegetables grown in experimental greenhouses mainly include cucumbers, tomatoes, gourds, mallows and pachysandra.

The tomatoes of this era were very delicious, sweet and sour, and had a gritty flesh. When you peel off the skin, you will see the fine, gritty flesh. If you are not careful, your hands will be covered with juice.

My little girl always eats like a little zombie.

Gourd is a good thing. It can be fried and eaten when it is young. When it is old, it can be dried and made into containers.

Not the wine gourd in the TV series.

Instead, it is cut in half from the middle to make two ladles, which are very versatile for scooping out water, filling flour, and filling candies.

The only disadvantage is that it needs to build a shelf, and the gourd needs to climb up the shelf to grow, and the yield is hard to say.

There was no other way, so I selected generals from among the dwarfs and planted them too.

Winter squash and pachyrhizus are two southern vegetables that Zhao Wenmu has never seen in his past life. They are not grown in Pingyang County.

Since we are going to experiment with vegetable greenhouses, we naturally will not only grow northern vegetables. After all, this thing is designed to reverse the seasons.

So Zhao Wenmu arranged for someone to go to the south and bring some common local green vegetables.

"Both winter squash and pachysandra are tolerant to low temperatures and have good yields."

The technician introduced that the so-called low temperature tolerance of these two vegetables refers to the lowest temperature of 0 degrees. They cannot be grown outdoors in the north in winter, but they can be grown in greenhouses.

"Xiao Mu, these two dishes must be delicious!"

Zhao Xuelei's rough fingers touched the strong leaves of Pachysandra, as if he were touching something indescribable, and his face was full of intoxication.

Zhao Wenmu curled his lips slightly as he looked at the leaves of mallow vegetables that were as dry as wild vegetables and the leaves of thick-skinned vegetables that were too thick.

He didn't think these two dishes were very delicious.

This is indeed the case. The former of these two vegetables has gradually become a wild vegetable, while the latter has become known as "pig-feeding vegetables".

But that is for later generations.

In fact, when these two vegetables came on the market this winter, they were very popular among the people of Pingyang County, and even became popular in the northern land for nearly ten years.

Other vegetables, such as lentils, leeks, eggplants, celery, etc., were grown separately, but mainly for experimental purposes.

After all, greenhouses are different from outdoor planting. There are countless issues that need to be verified through actual production regarding the appropriate planting time, light intensity, temperature, and planting density of various crops.

Experience is very important in the agricultural field!

"Oh, I really miss those fruits and vegetables."

In the study, Zhao Wenmu rubbed his legs and recalled various fruits and vegetables from his previous life.

There was a small, dry, wrinkled bell pepper on the table, which is what it looks like now.

The large bell peppers or colorful large bell peppers that can be fried for a whole plate are either the product of space breeding or imported products from South America.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the small wrinkled bell peppers taste great, instead of having no taste at all like later generations.

Think about it a few decades later, there will be at least hundreds of varieties of cucumbers and tomatoes alone, big and small, sour and sweet, long and short, round and flat, green and purple. Natural evolution has evolved tens of millions of times.

Year-old plants have been flattened and rounded in human hands, showing no dignity.

Dignity is not important, as long as it tastes good.

Sometimes they may not be delicious. For example, tomatoes specially used to make tomato sauce are specially bred to have rough skin and thick flesh, making them particularly suitable for mechanized picking and preservation.

But it definitely doesn't taste good.

"To recruit some highly educated professionals, it is best to send some people to Israel to inspect and learn."

Zhao Wenmu recorded in his notebook that this is the focus of the next step.

Palm-sized Israel is mostly in desert areas, and land resources are extremely scarce. Because of this, these Jews have devoted a lot of energy and resources to the agricultural field.

There is much to learn from it in terms of high-yielding crops and agricultural science and technology.

In fact, many domestic crop varieties were introduced from Israel.

After all, beautiful countries cannot be trusted, especially in the agricultural field, and they must not rely too much on Europe and the United States. Relatively speaking, Israel is a more suitable partner.

Putting agricultural safety in the hands of others is purely self-destructive!

This is true for the three major staple foods of rice, wheat and corn, and soybeans as feed and oil crops are equally important.

Although various fruits and vegetables are not related to life and death, they are also related to the dining tables of the people of a country, and their benefits are not insignificant.

Zhao Jing, who was fragrant after taking a shower, walked in. Zhao Wenmu put down his pen and paper and opened his arms.

The room was very warm. Zhao Jing only wore a thin printed cotton pajamas. She naturally nestled into Zhao Wenmu's arms and asked with a smile:

"Pinch your legs?"

Zhao Wenmu had been doing farm work for a day today. For a person who had not done farm work for a long time, he was really a little uncomfortable, so Zhao Jing wanted to help him relax.

"OK."

Zhao Wenmu responded with some surprise.

Then, before Zhao Jing could stand up, Zhao Wenmu naturally placed a big hand on her calf and rubbed it gently.

"I'm saying to squeeze your legs to relax them, not to touch them!"

Zhao Jing patted Zhao Wenmu's restless hand angrily.

This guy is really getting more and more out of shape.

Zhao Wenmu was a little distracted, and before he could react, he said naturally:

"This is quite relaxing."

"ah!"

The little woman sitting on someone's lap opened her mouth and bit the other person's shoulder.

Seeing the other person's head suddenly coming towards him, Zhao Wenmu naturally turned his head to meet him out of habit, and their mouths touched each other.

"Hiss~"

Zhao Wenmu covered his mouth and went to the bathroom.

Behind him was a chuckle like a silver bell.
