Beginning Shan Hai Jing: I am farming in the interstellar field for the elderly

Chapter 7 Giant Carrot
Qi Song sighed slightly, he was impatient.

At the same time, Yun Lan, who was far away in the blue star, also let out a long sigh.

"Uncle Luo, do you think this radish is edible?" Looking at the half-meter-long radish in front of her, which was thicker than her calf, Yun Lan was a little uncertain.

Uncle Luo squatted on the ground, also frightened by the giant carrot on the ground, why not: "I don't know about that either."

He has grown radishes, but only D and other species.

It takes about four months for the radishes planted in class D to mature. The radishes produced are only the size of a palm, and they are still dark and not autumnal.

It is also the first time for him to plant radishes of the B variety.

However, looking at the information found on Yunlan's optical brain, it takes about two months for radishes of type B to mature under natural conditions, and even if nutrients are added, it will take one and a half months at the earliest.

But it took less than a month since Yunlan's radish was planted and pulled out today, and the size of this radish was beyond their imagination.

Originally, Yunlan and Uncle Luo didn't intend to pull out these radishes today, but starting yesterday, the exposed parts of these radishes suddenly began to crack.

According to the information on Xingwang, if the radish cracks, it means that the radish either lacks water or is harvested too late.

They haven't forgotten about watering for a day. After much deliberation, the only possible reason is that the harvest is too late.

That's why the two of them spent a lot of effort today to carefully dig out these radishes from the ground.

Yes, dig, because you can't pull it out at all.

After digging out the radishes, they realized that these radishes were much bigger than they had imagined.

Swallowing his saliva, Uncle Luo said with difficulty: "Could it be that the water and soil of our Canglan Planet have made these radishes genetically mutated?"

He looked at the radishes on Yunlan's brain, the largest of which was the size of a human elbow. These radishes are so big, it must be a genetic mutation!

Touching the back of her head, Yunlan felt that what Uncle Luo said was not impossible.

This kind of situation has happened in Canglan Star before. The good seeds planted in Canglan Star are different from other places. Either they are smaller or the color is strange.

Later, her parents used all their savings to buy a detector for the village, which is specially used to detect whether certain crops grown in the village have mutated and whether they can be eaten.

The tester has not been used many times since it was bought, but its existence has reassured many people. After all, no one wants to eat something that they have worked so hard to eat.

After thinking about it, Yunlan ran back to the house and took out a kitchen knife, and chopped off a radish that was half-split.

The radish snapped in response, and a fragrance that was very different from the pungent air on the blue star lingered at the tip of their noses.

Uncle Luo didn't have time to stop him, so he could only watch Yunlan cut off the radish, and then said in pain: "It's not yet determined whether it's a genetic mutation, why are you cutting up the radish in such a hurry?!"

If there is no mutation, how much would it cost to sell such a big B-class radish!

Yun Lan was much more indifferent, picked up the small piece of radish he had chopped off and said, "If it has changed or not, we will know if we test it ourselves."

Of course she is also distressed, but if it really mutates, then this radish is equivalent to a white race, and that is when she should really feel distressed.

"Then you have cut too much!" Uncle Luo still feels distressed, the test only needs to be as small as a fingernail, and this girl chopped off a big piece of her hand.

Yunlan walked into the house with the chopped radish, and said: "After the genetic test, we have to taste it ourselves. If it's not delicious, who will buy it?"

All the valuables in the village are placed where she lives, and the genetic tester is no exception.

Taking out a genetic testing instrument that was no bigger than a fist from the warehouse, Yunlan cut off a little radish and put it in the instrument, waiting quietly for the instrument to give the final test result.

This instrument was bought at the cheapest one. Not to mention the long detection time, the function is also single. It can only detect whether there is a genetic mutation and whether it is harmful to the human body, but no more information can be given.

Yun Lan and Uncle Luo sat for almost an hour before the tester beeped, indicating that the test was over.

Hearing this noise, both Yunlan and Uncle Luo stood up abruptly, and couldn't wait to get closer to the detector for a closer look.

Uncle Luo is not very good at operating this detector, but he knows that if harmful substances are detected, red words will appear on the detector, otherwise, all green words will appear.

At this time, the detector showed a pleasing green color, which meant that the radishes they grew did not contain any harmful substances!

Uncle Luo laughed happily, but Yun Lan was not so happy.

Because the results of the tester showed that the radish did undergo a genetic mutation, but no harmful substances were produced.

Generally speaking, for crops of the same grade, the more stable the genes and the less mutations, the higher the selling price.

Their radish gene has mutated, and they don't know if it can still be sold at a higher price.

Not wanting to let her worries affect Uncle Luo, Yunlan raised a smile and said, "Uncle Luo, let's taste it, if it tastes good, it means we have succeeded!"

As for the way to eat radishes, all Yun Lan knows is stir-frying, because she has eaten them like this since she was a child.

The D-class radishes grown by Canglanxing can only be eaten by stir-frying, and other cooking methods are not as good as stir-frying.

Cut the snow-white radish into thin shreds, and pour a little synthetic oil into the pot. The originally fragrant shredded radish is soaked in the black synthetic oil, and the taste is gradually covered up, and the color becomes cloudy.

Until the black and yellow shredded radish was brought to the table, Yun Lanhe didn't dare to stretch out his chopsticks.

Some unpleasant memories from the past burst out at this moment.

The water and soil of Canglan Star are poor. If the crops grown have mutated, they will only mutate in a worse direction, not in a better direction.

As for the bad-tasting D species, if there is a malignant mutation, the taste is enough to make people unforgettable for a lifetime.

"You're a young man, you eat first." Uncle Luo shrank back his hand, not daring to be the first warrior to try.

"Uncle Luo, you are old, of course you ate first!" Yun Lan didn't want to be the guinea pig either.

Uncle Luo turned his face: "You child, uncle loves you so much! This is a class B variety, it must taste good, otherwise uncle will let you eat first?!"

The corner of Yunlan's mouth twitched, and it would hurt her feelings to be more humble.

Reluctantly, Yunlan could only pick up a few shredded radishes tremblingly, stuffing them into her mouth as if facing a big enemy.

Trying to chew a few times, Yun Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide.

The shredded radish tasted weird in his mouth, but the strangeness was not caused by the shredded radish, but the smell of the synthetic oil that Yunlan had eaten for more than ten years.

Aside from the strange taste of synthetic oil, shredded radish itself has a crisp and juicy taste, and it is slightly sweet after chewing.
