Chapter 26 Saline Alkaline Land

Liu Shi just smiled and didn't say anything, her family just died, so there are some things that she said are inappropriate now.

After all the things were moved up, Mrs. Liu said a few words to the little Doudings in the family, asking them to take care of the house, and took Xiaoxi to the market together.

In fact, she really wanted to take two children there, but there are six boys in the family, no matter who she takes, the others are not convinced.

The brothers were like this, they agreed on big things, but they always held each other back on small things, especially the sixth brother, who was the most excited among the brothers.

In the end, Mrs. Liu simply took Xiao Xi along, and let the brothers fall in love and kill each other at home.

Along the way, Liu Shi and the man driving the carriage kept chatting without saying a word. Xiaoxi followed the carriage forward, and her buttocks separated from the carriage for countless times, but looking at the wheat waves on both sides of the road, the whole person was in a good mood A lot, even the buttocks don't hurt so much.

The golden ears of wheat swayed with the breeze, forming huge waves of wheat. Just looking at it seemed to have experienced the joy of the upcoming harvest.

Xiaoxi asked curiously, what will the wheat be planted after harvesting.

Mrs. Liu told her daughter very patiently that these wheats are early wheat, and when these things are harvested, they can be planted with sorghum.

Xiao Xi immediately understood, Red Shushu = Sorghum, even in her previous world, there were some areas where it was called this.

"Mom, is there any corn?"

"Corn? What is that?" Liu Shi said that she had never heard of this thing.

"It's something my master told me. He said that it can be used as a staple food just like sorghum and wheat. I've never seen it before, so I asked my mother if she had seen it."

Maize = corn, sorghum = sorghum.

When the driver heard this, he said that Xiaoxi had such a master who knew so much and was so good. Mrs. Liu didn't want to talk about this, so she changed the subject inadvertently.

"Xie'er's master is indeed very good, but no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the location we are in. If you look at a few dozen miles away, I heard people say that there is a layer of white alkali on their ground. Don't worry." Talking about planting things, even weeds don’t grow, Mr. Zhang, have you heard of this? Is this true or not?” Liu pretended not to know anything, and when the uncle Zhang was asked by him, he immediately Just like a erudite wit, popularize science with her.

"Really, this is all true. Don't talk about going out, there are also around us. It is just to the east of our village. It's just that white place, that kind of land is called saline-alkali land. Don't talk about growing crops, not even a blade of grass grows." Not long." Mr. Zhang said it was serious.

There is a lot of wasteland here, but there are few people who open up the wasteland. The reason is that there is no living thing in the wasteland here. The saline-alkali land, let alone planting things, not even a grass can grow.

Although the state encourages land reclamation, the saline-alkali land can't grow anything at all, and the better seeds will be lost.

"Saline-alkali land?" Mrs. Liu didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

On the contrary, Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows. It seems that their place is a bit like the Northeast, Northwest, and North China of China in the previous life.

In summer, rainwater is abundant and concentrated, and the amount of evaporated water is greater than the amount of rainfall. The salt is washed away with the water or penetrates into the lower layer, forming a saline-alkali land.

The concentration of the soil solution in saline-alkali land > the concentration inside the plant cells. If the liquid inside and outside the plant cells is out of balance, it will lose water. Simply put, the roots cannot absorb water, and the roots will die if they cannot absorb water. Therefore, saline-alkali land has always been a barren land, and no grass will grow.
