Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 286 Rice, upland rice, and sandy rice?

There are refrigerators, freezers and ice storage.
These things can be kept fresh.

What's more, Xu Yue's vegetables and fruits are basically sold in batches, so there is no need to store them at all.

At least Xu Yue never thought about storing it.

The fruits will be stored for some time. It’s not that they can’t be sold, but if they are sold all at once, the price will be affected, so they will need to be stored for a while.

But Xu Yue had no involvement at all.

As for home?
He really hadn't thought about it.

At least I won't go out of my way to study the array pattern.

The air conditioner in Xu Yue's house has become a decoration, and he really doesn't mind letting the refrigerator become a decoration as well.

However, the air conditioner in Xu Yue's house became a decoration, and those were not the array patterns he had specifically studied for this purpose.

Purely incidental.

The original purpose of this research was to grow vegetables in winter.

"That thing is actually quite useful." Zhang Ruoxi said, "Once I figure it out, I can eat the same fruit all year round."

"Wouldn't it be better to switch things up?" Xu Yue said, "You wouldn't get tired of eating the same fruit all year round?"

Will it?

meeting.

This is true even for spiritual fruits.

This is the case with the Xu Yue family.

"But at least there's food when we want it," Zhang Ruoxi said. "The agricultural trade company should actually be quite practical."

"Prioritize." Xu Yue said, "If we talk about its use, then the Dou Hu is more worthy of study."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Can't she see it?

"Don't you have that inheritance?"

In Zhang Ruoxi's opinion, Xu Yue did not have the desired inheritance for the storage method of Douhu, and it would be extremely difficult to research and produce it.

But Xu Yue had inherited the "preservation" array pattern, which was visible and tangible.

This is also the reason why she paid more attention to this and "despised" the Dou Hu.

“Study it!”

Xu Yue obviously didn't have much interest in the "fresh" array pattern.

He wanted to create a formation pattern that could store things.

"Can it be done?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and couldn't help asking.

Since Xu Yue said so, it seems that he is somewhat confident.

"You won't know until you try," Xu Yue said. "The array pattern on the Dou Hu is integrated with the Dou Hu. Simply replicating the array pattern will definitely not work."

If it was just a simple replication of the array pattern, it would actually be very simple for Xu Yue.

Unfortunately not.

"Then give it a try." Zhang Ruoxi said, "If it works, get me a storage ring."

Storage ring?

Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi with a helpless look.

You really dare to think about it.

That thing, the smaller it gets, the bigger it gets.

What about a storage ring? Why don’t you talk about storage earrings or something?

"That's way too ambitious."

Xu Yue shook his head and said.

He couldn't even guarantee whether it would work, let alone making a small item like a storage ring.

"You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"

Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile.

Is it possible?

Xu Yue didn't know that in the following days, he kept trying but all failed.

The array pattern was copied, but it was difficult to connect them together.

For this purpose, Xu Yue also used stone to replicate the Da Si Nong Dou Hu one-to-one.

The result was the same failure.

"You're not looking for bronze, are you?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Is it a raw material issue?"

"Probably not!" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "The difficulty in connecting the array patterns has nothing to do with the material. However, the material should affect the size of the storage space. Take your time, there's no rush."

"Do you think there are any methods for refining Douhu in that tomb?"

Zhang Ruoxi raised her doubts.

"I don't know about that." Xu Yue said, "But if there really is one, the higher-ups should come to find me."

The higher-ups found Xu Yue faster than expected.

However, it was not because of the method of refining the Douhu, but because he wanted Xu Yue to cooperate in the research of the Douhu.

"Isn't it bad? I've been very busy lately."

Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua with a smile.

Xu Yue was not being pretentious, he just really didn't want to go.

Collaborate with research, not lead it.

It's not that he can do what he wants, but that he has to do what others tell him to do.

It’s better to figure it out by yourself at home.

"What can you be busy with?" Jing Guohua said, "You are just a hands-off boss."

"The medicinal fields at Wangjiaba need a formation, and Tian Yizi is planning to expand his plantings," Xu Yue said. "Besides, I still need to practice. If I run into a situation like last time again without a magical weapon, I'll be doomed. I can't carry a huge stone mill with me everywhere I go, can I?"

"Four realms, it's not that easy."

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue and immediately sighed.

He has been trapped in the three realms for a long time.

But I still feel that there is no hope.

That is truly the biggest hurdle for those who practice cultivation.

If you can’t get over it, you will live a mortal life.

Once you get over it, the world will be different.

"You can't stop moving forward just because it's difficult, right?" Xu Yue said, "With your mentality, how can you succeed?"

"Really not going?" Jing Guohua said, "Don't you want to understand the storage space?"

Since Xu Yue was unwilling, he naturally wouldn't force it.

You can't force it.

Xu Yue’s status is now completely different from before.

Storage space is important, but Xu Yue is now an indispensable part of the above rural revitalization strategy.

Even the desert control involved is just a side issue.

"I do! But I don't have the ability, so I won't go and embarrass myself." Xu Yue said, "Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. Perhaps there's relevant information in that tomb."

"There are indeed some, and they were recorded on the jade slips you poured out from the bucket," Jing Guohua said. "But it's not complete! Professor Wang speculates that there should be more in the bucket."

"Really?" Xu Yue asked, "Have you sorted out all the bamboo and jade slips in the tomb?"

"How is that possible?" Jing Guohua glanced at Xu Yue and said, "Professor Wang only saw a few words on the brocade. As for deciphering the contents of the bamboo and jade slips, it will take time."

Writing on bamboo is called "jian", writing on wood is called "du", and writing on cloth is called "jin".

Xu Yue was speechless after hearing this.

He is still somewhat lacking in this aspect.

Previously, the tomb of the descendant of the farming family was from the pre-Qin period.

But the tomb that was dug this time was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At that time, people used to write and record things not only bamboo slips and jade slips, but also other materials, even paper.

"If you want to pour out the contents, I can find time to go there later." Xu Yue said, "As for cooperating with the research, forget it. I might as well study growing rice in the desert!"

"Can rice be grown in the desert?" Jing Guohua said, "Why are you doing this research? You might as well be researching how to grow upland rice in the desert."

Upland rice, also known as land rice, is an ecological crop that has evolved from rice through long-term domestication in dryland conditions without a water layer.

Xu Yue and his team don’t have it.

He hadn't even seen it.

Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua, shook his head and smiled.

I just said it casually, trying to find an excuse to fool you, but you actually took it seriously.

However, this seems worth studying!
I'll talk to Tian Yizhi later. He cultivated upland rice into "sand rice," and the United Nations even gave me an award.

"Forget it. Call me when you have time." Jing Guohua said, "I'll let you know when I've sorted out the contents of the ancient tomb."

Jing Guohua is gone. He came and went in a hurry.

He is really busy.

This time, I invited you in person instead of calling.

Of course, it's not just about sincerity.

By the way, there are also people who come to get the protective jade talisman.

"Why are you refusing?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Go and study it. Your understanding of the array patterns should improve."

"No rush." ​​Xu Yue said, "I will be the one to lead the research on Dou Hu sooner or later."

leading?

Cooperate?

Zhang Ruoxi instantly understood why Xu Yue refused so bluntly.

Jing Guohua probably saw it too.

He can't make the decision.

Unless those people are desperate, Xu Yue will not be allowed to lead the research.

"I'm going to find Tian Yizhi."

Xu Yue stood up and prepared to go to the farm office.

"What are you looking for him for?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked casually.

"Ask him to get some dry rice seeds back." Xu Yue said, "If dry rice seeds are infused with spirits, can they be planted in the desert?"

When Zhang Ruoxi heard this, she looked at Xu Yue in surprise.

If it really happens, it will not only benefit the country and the people!
This is the world turning desert into fertile fields.

The kind that can be done in one step.

How many deserts are there in the country?
How many deserts are there in the world?
It is hard to say whether it is really possible or not, but it should be possible after death.

"Can it be done?"

Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"No matter if it succeeds or not, we have to try."

Xu Yue shook his head and went to find Tian Yizi.

He wasn't sure either.

Buying upland rice seeds is very easy, just one phone call will do it.

But there are many things that need to be prepared afterwards.

"Upland rice? Cultivated in the desert?"

After hearing Xu Yue's idea, Tian Yizi was stunned.

How much does an acre of desert cost now?
With a seventy-year contract period, it would only cost a few dozen yuan.

Of course, the desert in the tourist area is another matter.

Now they rent land for 500 yuan per mu per year, which means 35,000 yuan in 70 years.

What about the thousand acres?
What about ten thousand acres?
"I'll have someone buy some upland rice seeds right away, and then we can rent the desert," Tian Yizi said. "Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try. If it does, we might be able to go down in history."

Leave your name in history?

Is it an exaggeration?

not necessarily!

"In fact, in addition to rice, we can try growing potatoes and cotton," Tian Yizi said, "especially potatoes."

Some people have grown rice and potatoes in the desert and have been successful.

But that has great limitations and is impossible to copy and promote.

But it needs to be popularized.

"It works!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Planting cotton?

This Xu Yue is really not sure.

Who knows if the cotton will be covered with sand.

However, you can still give it a try.

If you can't just plant food crops, you can also plant some cash crops.

Tian Yizi is very concerned about renting desert land for planting.

In addition to its own significance, it is probably also because of some people's restlessness.

Although the farm is getting bigger and bigger, Tian Yizi is becoming more and more adept at managing it.

In addition to the growth of trained people, it is also related to the recruitment of a lot of talents.

He also poached people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

“Are you experiencing the joy of being a boss now?”

When Xu Yue returned, Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said to him.

"Indeed!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Whatever you want to do, there are many people below to help you run errands, and there are also people to help you find out the shortcomings and fill them."

"Check for deficiencies and fill gaps?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and couldn't help but ask.

What could be wrong with going to the desert to grow dry rice?
"Tian Yizi suggested we try potatoes and cotton," Xu Yue said. "Then I branched out and thought we could plant some drought-resistant fruit trees. For example: jujube trees, pomegranates, walnuts, persimmons, grapes, apples, peaches, pear trees, kiwis, etc."

"Now that you mention it, there are indeed many fruit trees that can be grown in the desert," Xu Yue said. "If we add some drought-resistant economic crops, we will have more options. However, among those crops, rice is undoubtedly the most important."

Why is rice important?

Because that is the staple food.

Xu Yue nodded.

Potatoes are also a staple food, but they are not as popular as rice.

For people like Xu Yue, potatoes are the vegetable.

Noodles and steamed buns can be ranked before potatoes.

"Dry rice is grown in the desert, so I imagine its quality is a bit worse than that grown on farms," ​​Xu Yue said, "even if a spiritual formation is set up."

The spiritual formation borrows the energy of the earth veins.

But the energy of the earth veins is different in different places.

The earth energy in the desert tends to be hotter and not as spiritual as the earth energy in the mountains.

Because the earth energy in the desert lacks upgrades.

In the desert, everything is dead and silent, where can there be any life?

Why is the air so fresh in those deep mountains and old forests? In addition to the photosynthesis of trees, it is actually related to the upgrading of the earth's energy.

The energy of the earth veins is full of vitality, and even the desert can be turned into an oasis.

But if the vitality in the earth's veins dissipates, then the oasis will turn into a desert.

Planting trees and afforestation is actually increasing the vitality of the earth's energy.

Where does the spiritual energy of heaven and earth come from?

In fact, it is the transformation of the vitality of the earth's energy.

This is a cycle of the world.

Of course, these are just Xu Yue’s understanding.

"Once the spiritual formation is set up, a virtuous cycle will form." Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile, "The quality may be lower at the beginning, but it will get better and better later. Besides, being able to grow something is a world-shaking event. Do you still want to maintain the quality?"

Xu Yue smiled silently.

Indeed, it is good enough to be able to grow it, even if the yield is not high.

He still wants quality?

What kind of bike do you want?
"Does this count as desert control?" Zhang Ruoxi continued, "Which desert are you planning to rent land in? Do we have to stay there for a long time?"

There is no desert in Shuzhou, only wasteland.

If you want to rent a desert, you have to go to the province.

The nearest desert to them is thousands of kilometers away.

However, distance is not a problem.

Xu Yue had no plans to stay in any place for research.

"After we finish setting up the formation, we'll come back." Xu Yue said, "What do you think? Should we go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and try to trick Academician Meng?"

"You want to trick Academician Meng into eating sand?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "But he'll probably come back once the academy is repaired."
