In the age of rebirth, I became popular in the pastoral live broadcast

Zhao Zhenhua's face showed visible loss and discomfort, which made Song Hongguo feel sick in her heart. People nowadays are really simple and kind-hearted. The two men came to her to ask about the wheat yield, and everyone in the village was worried. No longer hungry, but in the future, everyone will sweep the snow in front of the door and not care about the frost on other people's tiles. Comparing this, the realm of these two men is so noble that it is admirable.

"Well, could it be a problem with the seeds?"

"what?"

Zhao Zhenhua didn't react, but Zhao Baoqing was moved when he heard it, "You mean, the same planting method, but the yield is different, the problem is with the seeds?"

Song Hongguo smiled pretending to be embarrassed, "I just made a casual guess. After all, I have never seen any seeds. When I took over, the wheat seedlings were so high."

Zhao Zhenhua frowned and said, "At that time, the wheat seedlings were not very promising."

Song Hongguo blinked innocently, "Is it because you are coming back?"

Zhao Zhenhua looked stunned and murmured, "Is there such a thing?"

Song Hongguo spread her hands, "Then I don't know. I'm just guessing. Maybe there's nothing wrong with the seeds, but some kind of mutation occurred during the growth process. I've heard of this situation... "

Zhao Baoqing said "Yeah" with a solemn expression, "I have heard of this situation. If this is really the case, then..." He looked at Song Hongguo, and before he spoke, he heard Song Hongguo say happily, "Big Uncle, if you want to try using my bags of wheat as wheat seeds, I will definitely support it, just give it to me in exchange for one."

Hearing this, Zhao Baoqing smiled happily, "Okay, okay, but you are sensible, can my uncle still make you suffer? Just leave me two hundred catties as wheat seeds, and I will give you 250 catties."

Song Hongguo, "..."

Two hundred and fifty?

"No, just give me two hundred catties..."

Zhao Baoqing waved his hand, "Listen to me on this matter. Wheat seeds and wheat are not of the same price. No one can argue with you for subsidizing it more. When it is dried, Zhenhua will exchange it with you."

Song Hongguo had no choice but to respond with a smile.

After saying this, Zhao Zhenhua lamented the hardships in the nearby places. If God doesn't rain, not only will the wheat harvest be poor this year, but also the sweet potatoes and corns in the second half of the year will not be saved. Finally, he asked with some hope, "See you, cousin." I’m very knowledgeable, I read newspapers all day long, and I know a lot of news, but have you heard about any relief policies from the higher authorities?”

Song Hongguo shook her head, "Drought is not just one place or two. The whole country is short of food. Even if we want to save it, we can't help it. However, we will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. I guess there will be ways to deal with it later."

The research on chlorella should start in the second half of this year, and there are also food substitutes. Although they are not nutritious, they can fool your stomach to some extent, and you will feel better next year.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhua didn't have much hope and sighed with a sad look on his face.

Zhao Baoqing also looked heavy, and the orchid beans in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Seeing this, Song Hongguo cleared her throat and said, "Uncle, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible or not, whether it will work..."

Zhao Baoqing urged excitedly, "What do you think? Tell me quickly!"

Song Hongguo pointed the pond to the two of them, "You guys take a look at this first!"

It was already dark now, and the light from the kerosene lamp couldn't shine very far. The pond was dim, but I could still see roughly what was floating on the water.In addition to the reeds and cattails around it, the lotus standing tall in the middle, and a bunch of green things, which are inconspicuous, but cover most of the pond.

"What is this?" Zhao Baoqing stared closely and asked.

Zhao Zhenhua asked directly, "Cousin, how many trees can I fish out and see?"

Song Hongguo said, "Of course you can. You can catch more. I just want to raise a few in the water tank. The water hyacinth will bloom soon. When the time comes, it will be a sight to display under the front building."

After hearing her words, Zhao Zhenhua stopped being polite and took off his shoes directly, went into the water to fish some out, and put them on the stone table. Zhao Baoqing picked them up and looked at them carefully, but he didn't see any clues.I just feel that the leaves are plump and the tuber underneath looks like a small gourd.

Song Hongguo explained, "This thing is called water hyacinth, and its scientific name is Eichhornia crassipes. It was introduced from outside a few years ago. It is very convenient to plant, as long as there is water. The biggest advantage is that it reproduces quickly and can be used as fodder." .”

"Feed?" Zhao Baoqing caught the last two words, his heart felt hot when he heard it, and his eyes lit up, "Is it okay to feed pigs or chickens? Can it make me fat? What about people? Can people eat it?"

Song Hongguo nodded, "Anything is fine, but it is mainly used as feed. With the feed, you can feed more pigs, chickens, pork and eggs, which are much more delicious than water hyacinth."

Zhao Baoqing laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, you are right..."

Zhao Zhenhua paid attention to the fast reproduction speed and asked excitedly, "Cousin, please tell me, why does this water hyacinth reproduce so fast? It's like Jerusalem artichoke. Plant a few trees and it won't take long. Can we become one piece every year?"

Song Hongguo said with a smile, "It's much more powerful than Jerusalem artichokes. Look at how many there are in my little pond. Two months ago, I threw a few plants in."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhua was stunned.

Zhao Baoqing turned around stiffly and stared at the water hyacinths in most of the pond. The blood in his body was about to boil. It had only been two months, how many plants could grow so many?

This is simply as miraculous as the magician turning beans into soldiers.

Seeing that the two of them were so happy, Song Hongguo didn't know what to do, so she had to pour some cold water on them, "Uncle, cousin, there are advantages and disadvantages to growing this water hyacinth. It does reproduce quickly and is perfect for feed. South It has already begun to spread. We are short of water in the north and it is not cold-tolerant, so there has been little movement, but its shortcomings are also obvious..."

The two listened carefully.

"Once the cultivation of water hyacinth is out of control, it will overrun and rob other organisms in the water of nutrients, leaving them with no living space, especially fish and shrimps under the water. So, you have to think carefully. What should we do if this happens..."

Zhao Zhenhua asked blankly, "How could it cause flooding? Even if our Weihu Lake is full of plants, we are not afraid that we will not be able to use it. So many nearby mountains have been stripped bare, how can we spare the Weihu Lake? I I’m afraid it’s not enough points…”

Zhao Baoqing said with a smile on his face, "Yes, there is no such thing as no use. How can it be overrun? Raise a few more pigs, no matter how much feed is digested, and besides, there are so many people, hahaha, we are now Don’t be afraid of too much, just be afraid of not having enough!”

Song Hongguo, "..."

Okay, you really don’t have to worry about flooding right now. You have to worry about it in more than ten years.

Next, the two of them chased after her and asked her many questions about water hyacinth, how to plant it, how to harvest it, and when to leave the seeds. After they understood everything, they jumped into the water again, caught most of it, and took it away in a backpack. , and there was a lot of wind under my feet, as if what I was carrying was not water hyacinth, but some treasure that made me rich.
