Chapter 308 Planting Corn [1]

Generally speaking, the things rewarded by His Majesty have to be properly offered, but how to offer food?If it is left unused, will His Majesty blame it?

Zhang Tiezhu said: "Since it is a reward from His Majesty, why don't you just eat it?" After a pause, he felt something was wrong, so he looked at Su Jinse and asked, "Bao'er, what do you think we should do?"

Every time something happens, he always wants to ask Bao'er what he thinks first.

Li Hongxiang also cast a questioning look at Su Jinse: "Bao'er is the smartest, Bao'er, do you think we should eat it or not?"

Su Jinse tilted her head and thought about it seriously, and said: "Master Jiang said just now that corn and potatoes are imported food from Fanwai. Since potatoes can be grown, so can corn. Father, mother, Your Majesty rewarded us with this food, do you hope that we can also grow corn?"

Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang suddenly became enlightened when they heard the words, and dared to say that the corn rewarded by His Majesty was not for them to eat, but for them to grow!But you deliberately didn't say it out, did you want to test them?
If they really ate the corn, would His Majesty blame it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help shivering, His Majesty really understands his thoughts!
However, if they can really grow corn, the family will have another crop in the future!
So Zhang Tiezhu took the corn out of the box, put it in the room and stored it carefully, and then took out a corn to study. How did the corn grow?

Su Jinse said: "Father, these corn seeds should be similar to rice seeds, should they be dried first? After drying, let's sow them."

Zhang Tiezhu slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Bao'er, you are still right. I was in a moment of anxiety and forgot."

This corn was rewarded by His Majesty. He was always worried that it would be planted badly. In a moment of impatience, he forgot the key issues of some seeds. Anyway, he is also a farmer and has planting experience. Some similar seeds can be sown in similar ways. .

So Zhang Tiezhu took out two corn cobs and put them in the sun to dry.

After a few days in the sun, after the moisture of the corn dries up, the corn is carefully peeled off one by one and packed in a clean cloth bag.

"Father, can you give me some corn seeds? I want to try growing corn." Su Jinse said seriously.

"Success!" Zhang Tiezhu grabbed a handful of corn kernels and gave them to Su Jinse.

With so many corn seeds, it's not a problem to grab a handful.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tiezhu hoeed the ground, sprinkled the corn seeds directly into the soil, then covered it with a thin layer of soil, and watered it.

After Su Jinse got some corn seeds, she soaked them in cold water for eight or nine hours.

Taking advantage of the time, she moved a few big rocks and built a temporary small kang, and then went to pick up a lot of straw and came back.

Eight or nine hours passed in a flash, and the next step was to germinate the corn.

Su Jinse found a piece of oil paper and spread it on the heated kang. On the oil paper, spread a layer of straw about 10 cm thick, and then spread the old cloth on the straw, and then washed the soaked seeds with warm water at 50°C Once again, the purpose is to increase the temperature of the seeds, control the water of the washed and heated seeds; place them on the old cloth that has been laid, the thickness of the seeds should not exceed 10 cm; finally cover the seeds with an old cloth that has been washed with warm water. Heat preservation and germination.
