Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 498 498 Hybrid seeds and hybrids

Fortunately, although she was bored, she was still free. As long as she didn't tire herself, Li Changhui would not restrict her actions at all.

When Lin He was sure that the spiritual energy in his body had reached a saturation level, he stopped climbing the mountain and just walked around the fields every day.

Once the spiritual energy is saturated and enough has been absorbed, it is useless to go to the mountain to absorb the spiritual energy. It cannot be absorbed.

At this time, she needs to use up the spiritual energy. The best way is to use the spiritual energy to nourish the crops, which can not only bring benefits to the crops, but also slowly consume the spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy will slowly increase bit by bit as it is consumed and replenished, although the efficiency is very low, even very low.

In her last life, it only took her half a month to complete the evolution from the first level to the second level. This time it actually took a full eight years, which is evident.

Fortunately, this world is relatively safe, and there is basically no need to use spiritual power, so she doesn't care.

It wasn't until she saw that everyone was cleaning up the paddy fields that Lin He suddenly remembered, what had she been thinking about before?

Hybrid rice?

Not only hybrid rice, but also wheat and corn are available!
At that time, she was still thinking about talking to Li Changhui and asking about the feasibility of this experiment, but it turned out that she got sick immediately and lasted only half a month. She completely forgot about it.

If she hadn't happened to see a paddy field today and saw everyone raising seedlings, she wouldn't have been able to remember it.

Thinking of this, he quickly pulled Li Changhui beside him and took a few steps to the side: "Brother Hui, there is something I want to ask you."

Then the two of them arrived at a place with few people, and Lin He roughly stated her thoughts. As she said, she could only provide an idea for this kind of thing.

Don't underestimate this idea. At least before this, no one had thought that different seeds could be mixed to cultivate more optimized seeds.

Thanks to the great men in her previous life, she is just standing on the shoulders of giants and providing some ideas. If it can be done, it will be great, even if it can't be done...

In fact, it can't be worse.

"Hybrid? Hybrid? How to do it?"

Even though Li Changhui had read many books, he was also confused at this moment.

"Oh, it's just like grafting fruit trees. Look, for example, this wheat."

There happened to be a wheat field next to it, so Lin He used wheat as an example.

"We look for the plumpest seeds among them, and then plant them together with another kind that is similar to wheat but has a higher yield or is less susceptible to disease."

"After the two seeds bloom, they can be artificially pollinated, like bees, to pollinate each other, so that a different kind of seed can be produced."

"If successful, maybe we can combine the advantages of these two seeds. For example, one has large and plump seeds, and the other has high yield. If these two advantages are combined, wouldn't it mean that the seeds grow plump and have high yields?"

Lin He had already told what she knew as much as possible. After all, she didn't learn this. She only knew a little bit at most.

However, Lin He also saw it. It seemed that the senior who traveled in front of her was not from after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he did not know about hybrid rice, hybrid wheat, hybrid corn, etc.

Otherwise, how could the beautiful senior, who had gone to sea to get various ingredients and returned, forget to remind everyone to research hybrid seeds?
There was just one thing, this information seemed a bit ahead of its time, so Lin He was a little worried that Li Changhui didn't believe it.

Actually, it's okay if she doesn't believe it. I'm just afraid that he will ask why and how she knows so much.

Fortunately, Lin He was a little worried. After hearing this, Li Changhui just thought about it thoughtfully.

"When you said that, I remembered."

Lin He murmured in his heart, maybe she was overthinking it. In fact, someone had already proposed this idea, right?That senior time traveler?
Then I listened to Li Changhui continue.

"Remember what I told you before? There is a noble lady in the capital who once went to sea and brought back various food crops. If it weren't for her, the people of the Da'an Dynasty would have a harder time."

Lin He blinked, there was really a connection. Why did he think of that senior?
Then he nodded honestly: "It seems to have happened more than 200 years ago?" "Well, that's right, but the senior at that time brought back more than just food."

Li Changhui pulled Lin He and explained while walking.

"At that time, there were some blond and blue-eyed women who came back with the senior. It is said that they were the distressed women that the senior rescued overseas."

"Those women were arranged to work in their own village by their seniors. Although it was more difficult, those women seemed quite happy."

"Later, many of them married nearby farmers. Some were beautiful, and they even married into richer families. Although there was a bit of a language barrier, over time, those women were able to speak some Mandarin of the Da'an Dynasty."

Lin He felt it was very magical just like hearing the story, but she probably knew what Li Changhui was going to say.

Sure enough, I heard Li Changhui continue: "It is said that the children born to blond and blue-eyed women at that time inherited the characteristics of both parents after marrying local men."

"Either they are tall, or they are beautiful, but they are different from both parents. Is this similar to the hybrid seeds you mentioned, Xiaohe?"

Lin He nodded vigorously: "That's what I mean!"

Although it feels a little weird to compare hybrid seeds with hybrids, the meaning is pretty much the same.

Li Changhui thought seriously: "It's a good suggestion. Maybe it can be done. I remember that there used to be a gardener at home who specialized in cultivating all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs. Sometimes he could even use two different flowers to cultivate new ones. Variety, or flower color.”

Since flowers, plants and people can do it, can food also do it?
Li Changhui was very moved and wished he could write back immediately.

But he held back.

After thinking about it, he even looked around to make sure there was no one else around, even though the path he was dragging Lin He on was an uninhabited path.

"But Xiaohe, don't talk about this matter for now. When we arrive in the capital, you can find an opportunity to mention it to someone else, preferably Jinrong's second brother, in front of him."

Lin He immediately grasped the key point: "Jinrong's second brother?"

"Isn't that your brother?"

Why do you still speak so unfamiliarly?
Li Changhui explained: "My half-brother, we don't have a very good relationship. We had a hostile relationship with him back then, but he is kind-hearted and a person who truly serves the country and the people. You only need to point it out, and he will definitely go on his own." Find someone to do it.”

This is a worry-free thing. Lin He could only provide some ideas, and she couldn't help with the rest. Now that this matter is left to someone more capable and caring, the effect will indeed be better.

"Okay, that's it, it's settled. Anyway, this is not something that can be done in a year or two. We are not in a hurry now. We will look for opportunities when we get to the capital."

The matter was settled quickly, but Lin He was still curious.

"But Brother Hui, you changed your identity and left, and now you go back and meet them again, wouldn't you just tell others that you are Xie Jinyan?"

Li Changhui didn't care: "It doesn't matter. If you know, you know. When you go home, you go home. Don't forget, I am Mrs. Lin's wife now."

As he said that, he pinched Lin He's cheek.

During the time when I was sick, I lost weight so much that my cheekbones protruded, but now I have finally regained some weight. Li Changhui particularly likes this action.

However, Lin He obviously felt differently from him and quickly waved it away.

"Aren't you ashamed to touch someone in public? You think I'm Meng'er, but you're actually squeezing my face!"

Lin He, who glared angrily at him, seemed even cuter.

But I can’t pinch it anymore, I have to endure it.
