Chapter 1005 As expected of the elite of the Tuntian Division, the ability to endorse
Chapter 1005: He is worthy of being an elite of the Tuntian Division, and his endorsement skills are truly top-notch (please subscribe and vote)
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with a furtive smile on his face, always feeling as if he had been insulted.
Although these words are not very harmful, they are extremely insulting. God has eaten pork and seen talents running away from pigs.
Is the complimentary word "talent" used in this kind of place?
The two officials from the Farming Department looked ferocious, and it was difficult for them to control their urge to laugh.
They continued their little game that they had not played since taking off the butt curtains, counting rice.
Any empty rice will naturally be pulled aside, while the full ones will stay. This is the method of selecting rice seeds.
It's very simple and very interesting. Anyway, it didn't take long for the two middle-aged officials to start counting with gusto.
As a result, a group of guards accompanied them, looking at everyone in the principal's office with sly expressions on their faces as they were conscientiously selecting rice seeds.
Fang Jun, who had just jumped to the latrine to relieve himself and finally came back feeling relaxed, also enthusiastically joined the team of selecting rice seeds.
Even if several people worked together, it still took more than half an hour to finish the three-season rice.
Cheng Chubi looked at the rice seeds with satisfaction, then asked Deng Chengxin and the others to get straw mats, and then spread the rice evenly.
Let Cheng Fa and Cheng Da stand in front of the straw mat to drive away the birds at any time to prevent them from being pecked.
Now, these people who had nothing to do became curious.
The two bosses of the Tunnan Division and the farm officials who often went to the fields couldn't help but smile at each other.
Liu Yuanwai was even more curious. "Cheng Taichang, what are you doing? Since it is rice seeds, why do you need to dry them?"
Cheng Chubi explained, his eyes fell on Deng Chengxin and gave instructions.
"The purpose of drying is to remove mildew and germs. Deng Chengxin, please help me tell Uncle Ji and ask him to bring half a catty of lime and two large jars that can hold fifty catties of water."
In a short time, Uncle Ji rushed over with a bag of quicklime. Behind him, two fat and strong servants of the Cheng family carried a huge jar.
After Cheng Mansion's servant poured fifty kilograms of water into one of the large jars, Cheng Chubi poured the bag of quicklime into it.
Instantly, a burst of heat rose up. Cheng Chubi picked up a stick and let Symmetry continue to stir slowly, trying to fully react with the quicklime.
Then I murmured to Uncle Ji for a long time and asked him to go to Chengjiazhuang and get a few hundred kilograms of fermented manure from the pig farm.
I heard that my son wants to plant various kinds of rice in the field outside Cheng's University that belongs to Cheng's University.
Uncle Ji was also a little confused, but he still carefully wrote down his young master's request and immediately sent someone to handle it.
After everything was done, Cheng Chubi began to scoop out the reacted lime water, filter it with gauze, and pour it into another large jar.
Regarding such an operation, Liu Yuanwai finally couldn't help but put forward his own opinions.
"Cheng Taichang, I have a question, please ask Cheng Taichang for advice."
“There is a saying in Qi Min Yao Shu: If you want to plant rice, when the ground is ripe, you only need to wash out the seeds, soak them for three nights, and then drain them out;
The inner grass is tied up in the grate. It will grow for three days, and the buds will grow and grow two cents. Three liters per acre will be thrown. Within three days, people will drive away the birds."
"The rice seedlings are seven or eight inches long, and the old grass grows again. I use the sickle to invade the water and plow it, and the grass becomes pus and dies. The rice seedlings grow longer and grow back.
After pruning, remove the water and expose the roots to make them firm. Measure the water and drought and irrigate them. When they are ripe, remove the water again..."
Cheng Chubi looked at Liu Yuanwailang, who had been chattering for a long time, with a confused look on his face, until the old guy finished hanging his book bag.
Only then did Cheng Chubi intervene in time.
"Liu Yuanwai is worthy of being an elite member of the Tiantian Division. His endorsement skills are truly top-notch. Cheng is worthy of his reputation."
"If Mr. Liu is interested in serving as a teacher in our school, I won't be able to consider it."
"???" Liu Yuanwai opened his mouth and looked at the confused Cheng Sanlang. What nonsense is this kid talking about?
Although I hang my book bag to show off my old heart, bah...it means that although I am old, my memory is very good.
"No, no, no, Cheng Taichang, you may have misunderstood. What I mean is that it has been clearly written in "Essential Art of Qi Min"."
"For breeding, you only need to wash the seeds and soak them in clean water for three days. But I have never heard of using lime water to soak them."
Cheng Chubi looked at this senior cadre of the Farming Department and couldn't help but grin.
Sure enough, there is indeed a generation gap of more than 1,400 years between me and them, which cannot be closed by just crowding.
But how should I explain my behavior to these agricultural experts from Datang?
Tell them that I am happy to do this? Doing so will only make the other person think that they are mentally ill.
Therefore, Cheng Chubi felt that he could convince them from another angle.
"Cheng is a doctor. Lime water has anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effects. So he used lime water to soak the rice seeds.
It is precisely through the anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect of lime water that we can remove various disease-causing factors from the rice seeds."
After Cheng Chubi finished explaining, he saw the two Datang agricultural experts looking like they were bragging.
Everyone is unhappy. However, I am too lazy to argue with these two housekeepers now.
You can't beat them, even if you break their bones, the other party may not agree with your method.
Cheng Chubi waited until the fifty kilograms of lime water was almost filtered and poured it into the empty jar.
Only then did Cheng Fa and the others pour all the three-season rice that had been dried into the filtered lime water.
With the continuous improvement of science and technology, rice seed soaking and germination technology has made great improvements on the basis of traditional seed soaking and germination methods.
Cheng Chubi often saw five or six methods of soaking rice seeds in rural areas.
For example, use 402 liquid to soak seeds, or use lime water to soak seeds, plant ash to soak seeds, biogas slurry to soak seeds, etc.
The seed soaking method, without exception, requires soaking for forty-eight hours before it can be completed.
Some farmers who are more convenient, directly use strong chlorine to disinfect, soak and clean repeatedly, and then start germination directly after removing the odor.
But the problem is that in this era, Cheng Chubi doesn’t know what the hell 402 liquid is, let alone strong chlorine.
Seed soaking can only be done with materials available in this era, and the most convenient method is of course soaking seeds in lime water.
The main purpose is to kill the pathogens carried by rice seeds and reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests in rice seedlings.
This is the most basic part of rice seedling technology and the most important part at the beginning.
"Brother Jun, come on, help me write down what I just said."
Fang Jun quickly agreed, sat down, picked up a pen, and started recording.
Cheng Chubi asked the rice seeds to be dried for a certain period of time, and then how much lime should be mixed with how much water.
After the filtration is completed, the time for soaking the rice seeds is recorded.
