Generally, it is soaked for five to ten minutes. After the water comes out, the seeds are immediately wrapped in a wet sack and covered with grass to keep warm.
Cheng Chubi brewed it in the same way. After all this was done, he placed the wet sack on a wooden board, and then covered the sack with a large amount of straw.
After doing all this, Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, the next step is to wait. Tomorrow morning, or at the latest this time tomorrow, all these rice seeds will be broken."
"Well, it just stimulated the germ..."
Watching Cheng Chubi's mysterious operations, he was boiling water, making sacks, and making wheat straw.
The result was just to encourage germination, which really made everyone present feel a strong sense of absurdity.
"The seeds sprouted, and they were able to use such means and methods to teach me.
The official will come over early tomorrow morning, hoping to see buds growing as Cheng Taichang said."
Li Ke, who had just chatted with Yuan Liu for a long time, probably also understood the farmer's method of germination.
After seeing Liu Yuanwai and Deng Zhubo leaving with the transcript they copied today, they looked towards Cheng Chubi.
"Brother Chu Bi, have you ever farmed in the past?"
"I haven't planted it before, but I have seen it at least. Any questions?"
Cheng Chubi replied, looking at Li Ke's strange expression and asked.
Li Ke shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Chu Bi, you might as well just boil the water and boil all the rice seeds."
"At least we can still enjoy a meal of three-season rice and have a taste of it."
These words made Cheng Chubi look confused. What kind of devil is this kid doing?
Fang Jun on the side saw Brother Chu Bi's appearance and directly interjected.
"Brother Chu Bi, my younger brother and Brother Weide were also talking about planting rice with the two officials from the Farming Department."
"Those two people said that it takes at least three days and three nights for rice seeds to germinate after they have been soaked in enough water."
"And now you actually tell us that the sprouts will sprout tomorrow morning, or at noon?"
Seeing the expressions of Fang Jun and Li Ke, Cheng Chubi shook his head helplessly.
"You don't believe it, do you? How about we make a bet, if it doesn't sprout by noon tomorrow.
Mr. Cheng loses to you two, but if it can sprout at noon tomorrow.
Then how about you two each lose to me?"
"That's it?" When Li Ke heard Brother Chu Bi's words, the little melon seeds in his head began to spin crazily.
Cheng Chubi laughed, crossed his arms, and said with an extremely confident expression.
"Nonsense, you two, one of you is still living at home, and the other is so poor that you want to pawn all your crotch cloth for money."
"If I bet too much with you, I wouldn't be able to cry and beg you to spare your life."
After hearing this, Fang Jun suddenly became unhappy, and said with a pale face that he was no longer a little kid who could only pull on his parents' clothes and ask for money.
"Brother, I am the director of the school office. I can get a salary of ten thousand dollars a month, okay?"
"Come on, come on, brother Xian, come here..." Li Ke, who had been rolling his eyes for a long time, pulled Fang Jun aside.
When Cheng Chubi saw the sneaky Li Ke and the dull-looking Fang Jun, he couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.
Li Ke saw Cheng Chubi's gaze and dragged Fang Jun into the house.
"Brother De, why are you dragging me down?"
"Brother Xian, can't you see it yet?" Li Ke poked his head and muttered softly.
"Brother Chu Bi is obviously guilty."
"Guilty? Why can't I see it?"
Fang Jun looked at the brother Weide in front of him, who had always been very thoughtful, with a confused look on his face.
Li Ke looked at Fang Erlang, who was naturally inclined to abandon civility and pursue martial arts, and immediately laughed.
"If you can see it all, it proves that you are as smart as me, dear brother. Don't be upset, dear brother... think about it."
"Brother Chu Bi made bets with others before. Whenever he was sure of winning, what did he do?"
Fang Jun's expression suddenly dawned. "Brother Weide, do you mean to say that Brother Chu Bi is not sure at all?"
"Nonsense, we just talked about this matter with those two officials from the Farming Department."
"It usually takes three days and three nights for seeds to germinate. This is not only recorded in "Essential Art of Qi Min", but these two officials also saw it with their own eyes."
"In this case, do you think we brothers will lose?"
"Of course we won't lose...I see, that's why Brother Chu Bi will find an excuse to make a consistent bet with us brothers."
Fang Jun slapped himself on the thigh and finally came to his senses.
But soon, Fang Jun touched his chin with some guilt.
"But Brother Chu Bi is so powerful, how could he lose?"
Li Ke couldn't help but became anxious and poked Fang Jun's strong abdominal muscles with his finger.
"Don't even think about it. Facts have proven that he can't win. That's why he made such a small bet with us brothers."
"Otherwise, why don't you let me, my brother, be like that Li Bingbu and put out half a year's salary as a bet?"
"If he can win half a year's salary from me, he will be popular and popular for several years."
Although Cheng Chubi did not enter the house, he could still see Li Ke gesticulating in front of Fang Jun and spitting like stars.
At this time, Li Ke pointed his finger outside the house, and Cheng Chubi looked away at the critical moment.
His expression was solemn, and he looked at the wheat straw with deep eyes, as if he was observing and studying whether the pile of wheat straw was oats, wheat or barley.

After being sprayed with Li Ke's spit for a long time, Fang Jun thought about it, wiped his face, and shook his head hesitantly.
"...Brother, I feel that I am not sure after all. Otherwise, we can just throw two hundred shots."
"Brother, I only have a total of two hundred strings. Even if I lose, it will be okay..."
Seeing how cowardly this wise brother who chopped off chicken heads and burned yellow paper was, Li Ke almost twisted his mouth in anger and poked Fang Jun's abdominal muscles as solid as iron with his fingers.
"You are simply wasting an opportunity to make a lot of money. You are not willing to take even a thousand guan."
"That's all, you pay two hundred dollars yourself, and the rest will be paid to your brother, but after winning.
You can only get 400 guan, and the remaining 1,600 guan with principal and interest are mine."
Fang Jun glanced at it, thought for a long time, and only raised one finger.
"My little brother, I'll give you a hundred guan. If you win, I'll take 300 guan, and the rest will be yours."
Li Ke immediately bulged his eyes, but he didn't have time to speak.
Fang Jun frowned, and tried to interrupt with reasonable arguments.
"Little brother, I didn't want to gamble at first, but you dragged me to join you. If you don't give me any benefits, why would I accompany you to bet with Brother Chu Bi?"
