After I came back from cultivating immortality, I led the whole village to raise silkworms and becom

"Professor He, we are here." When Zhou Zhou reached the roadside, he shouted to Professor He in the field.

Professor He is currently squatting and bending down in the field. The big leaf mulberry has now grown to one meter three or four meters. In order to see the roots of the big leaf mulberry, it can only be seen by bending down.

Standing upright and seeing Qiao Manman and Zhou Zhou on the roadside, he happily waved to them.

Qiao Manman and Zhou Zhou also changed into shoes suitable for walking on the ground. The mulberry field is relatively easy to walk on, and there is no need to loosen the ground.

"Manman, you are here too. Let me introduce our team to you." He introduced the team of four or five people behind him.

Qiao Manman also greeted these people one by one.

"Professor He, you just brought a group of people over once you returned to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Those who didn't know better thought I was a monster. The gourd boys came to Qiaomuwan one after another to save grandpa."

"Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. You Dayesang is really of great research value to our team."

As he spoke, Professor He cut off a branch of the big-leaf mulberry, holding the big-leaf mulberry from Qiaomanman's family in one hand and the big-leaf mulberry from their Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the other.

Showed the cross section of the mulberry tree to Qiao Manman, "Look at the cross sections of these two trees. This one was planted earlier than yours, but your big-leaf mulberry has better lignification than ours." of."

Mulberry trees: Although mulberry trees are called trees, silkworm farmers cut down the mulberry trees every year to leave the roots and wait for them to sprout and grow leaves again next time.

Only some silkworm farmers will have mulberry trees left next to their own vegetable gardens or yards that have not been cut down for more than ten years. The roots of those mulberry trees can grow stronger and stronger.

However, there are very few mulberry leaves like that, so silkworm farmers only stay here for the sake of beauty or to surround their yards.

Qiao Manman spent the whole morning with Professor He and the others. During the whole morning, she also gained a more detailed understanding of her mulberry field.

The formation aura she felt from the entire field was normal, so these mulberry trees must be healthy.

But this time I also know how important my mulberry field is in the eyes of professionals.

When he was about to go home, Qiao Manman asked Professor He a question. Professor He pondered for a long time after hearing it.

Qiao Manman wants to know whether these big-leaf mulberry trees can be widely planted in Arbor Bay next year.

After the silkworm seeding issue is resolved, the mulberry tree issue will have to be resolved.

Professor He said with some uncertainty: "In my research during this period, the short-term growth of these big-leaf mulberries is very good. But I can't guarantee you the long-term situation, but you can use these big-leaf mulberries." It’s no problem to do grafting.”

Professor He was unsure about the long-term performance of these big-leaf mulberries, and Qiao Manman also expressed his understanding. After all, these big-leaf mulberries had only been planted for less than a year.

Some changes have occurred, which are different from those of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Without the support of long-term data, Professor He dare not make a guarantee.

Many mulberry trees grow well in the short term with thick and wide leaves, but after one or two years these mulberry trees are susceptible to insect damage.

There has been such a case before. A variety of mulberry tree called No. 1 was introduced to Arbor Bay. Its leaves were thick and plump for one or two years after it was planted. However, in the third year, the mulberry tree encountered problems in autumn. Infested by insects, all the young shoots at the top were eaten by insects.

Later, the mulberry tree could no longer grow leaves, and it took a long time to wait for the side buds to grow. It didn't take long for the No. 1 mulberry tree to be eliminated from the market.

Professor He is also worried that Dayesang will have such problems in the future.

But Qiaomanman is very confident that he will start grafting work during this period. If anyone in the village is willing to switch to the new type of big-leaf mulberry, Qiaomanman will provide them with grafted seedlings. Qiao Manman first replaced all the seedlings in his family with big-leaf mulberry trees. The mulberry trees in the first year were still small seedlings, and the leaves grew slower and smaller.

But with these eighty acres of big-leaf mulberry trees, the family's yield should not be much different.

This year, when many families were short of mulberry leaves, they wanted to come to Qiaomanman's field to pick mulberry leaves. However, Qiaomanman agreed to do research for Professor He and the others, but he did not agree because he was afraid of the impact of picking mulberry leaves.

When walking home from the mulberry leaf field, she happened to pass by Qiao Manman's silkworm room. She walked in and saw Qiao's mother and father Qiao feeding mulberry leaves to the silkworm babies.

I also went over and picked up a bunch of mulberry leaves and fed them evenly to the fat silkworm babies on the ground.

"Mom and Dad, let's replace all the land at home with big-leaf mulberries when the autumn silkworm season is over." Qiao Manman swept the areas with a lot of mulberry leaves with his hands to the areas with fewer mulberry leaves.

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother both screamed when they heard it.

"Do you want to plant big-leaf mulberry trees in all the trees?"

Mother Qiao, who was about to hug Sang Ye, stopped for a moment and walked towards Qiao Manman.

"Well, if I want to promote big-leaf mulberry, I must plant it in my own home first." Qiao Manman knew how much impact the No. 1 mulberry tree had on Qiaomu Bay, and everyone would not easily switch to a new mulberry leaf variety.

"If you want to do it, just do it. Your dad and I are getting old. If it doesn't work out, we will go work in your factory to make money."

Qiao's mother said nonchalantly that she was 100% supportive of her daughter's work during this period. She would be happy if her daughter could live in a new house if she supported her.

Just as the three people were discussing about changing to big-leaf mulberry, a voice suddenly came from the door of the silkworm room: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law! Manman! Are you all here?"

"Auntie? Why are you free to come here today?"

At this time, Qiao Manman also stood up from squatting and saw the somewhat bloated figure at the gate.

My eldest aunt Chen Yongmei went to the factory first today. The workers said that she went home before Qiao Manman went to the factory today, and the house was empty.

I was thinking of coming to the silkworm room to have a look. If Qiao Manman wasn't here, I could just tell my eldest sister.

"I came here today because I have something to talk to you about, Manman." The eldest aunt was still carrying small bananas grown at home. "This is my own banana I brought for you. It's delicious, so I brought it to you." He said and handed the banana in his hand to Qiao Manman.

Seeing her aunt who brought gifts, Qiao Manman not only didn't feel surprised but was more frightened.

This is not a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. What is this?

She has only seen her eldest aunt deliver things to her family more than three times in her life. Her eldest uncle is the eldest son in the family, and every year, her mother and her aunts and uncles go to her eldest uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.

I went to their house to pay New Year greetings with my belongings in large and small packages, but I didn’t bring anything with them when they came to my house.

"Auntie, what do you want? Sit down and take a rest."

After Qiao Manman took the banana from her hand, he pulled out a small chair for her to sit down.

Qiao's mother and Qiao's father probably knew that she came here just because of their house. Both of them showed no expression on the surface, still looking at the silkworm babies eating mulberry leaves.
