Stunning Little Village Girl in Rebirth Space

Chapter 12 The Oiled Seed
What Rongxi wanted to tell Wen Huarou and Lin Tao was naturally about soybeans.She originally planned to plant soybeans. Since the eldest uncle proposed it now, and the eldest aunt agreed, how could she remain indifferent?

What Rongxi planned was to tell both of them the soybean planting techniques in his mind, so as to save the two of them from having little harvest because they didn't know the planting techniques.

But Rongxi also knew that she was only a ten-year-old child, and Wen Huarou and Lin Tao would not believe her talking about soybean planting techniques, so she had to change her strategy.

No matter what dynasty or generation, people will always believe in superstitions.Even the different world she is currently in is no exception. For example, after Rongxi threw herself into the river and was caught, Wen Shixuan invited the famous "witch" in the village to summon her soul. Every night at twelve o'clock, listening to the sorceress chanting a lot of incomprehensible words, and those messy bells, Rong Xi was also drunk.

Therefore, she didn't directly tell Wen Huarou and Lin Tao that she understood soybean planting techniques, but attributed everything to the appearance of the gods, which opened her mind and understood a lot.

Wen Huarou and Lin Tao were dubious. After asking Rongxi some knowledge about the plants that people are currently planting, Rongxi could answer fluently after a little thought. The two believed most of what Rongxi said. .

"Uncle, can I see those seeds?"

Rong Xi could also see that Wen Huarou and Lin Tao only believed what she said, but did not fully believe her. Rong Xi was also mentally prepared for this, so when the two were still hesitating, Rong Xi I spoke.

"Well, yes." Lin Tao was stunned, and then put the cloth pocket in front of Rongxi so that she could see it, "Xi'er, what do you think of this?"

"Uncle, this kind of seed cannot be planted." Rong Xi just glanced at it, then shook his head, "This kind of seed will not grow good soybeans."

"Xi'er, how do you know..." These seeds will not grow good soybeans, after all, they haven't been planted yet.Lin Tao had just finished speaking, when he saw Rongxi's solemn gaze, he was taken aback.

"Uncle, have you forgotten what I told you just now?" Rong Xi smiled, then pointed to his head with a playful expression, "I understand a lot now~"

"Then Xi'er, just tell us why." Rongxi's move amused Wen Huarou, and Wen Huarou smiled before saying, "These seeds haven't been planted yet, how do you know they won't grow?" The ones that grow good soybeans?"

"That's right, Xi'er, please tell me, and let the elder uncle listen." Lin Tao also looked at Rongxi curiously at this time, looking forward to her answer.

"Hee hee, of course I can see it." Rong Xi laughed, then pointed to the seeds in the cloth pocket to the two of them, "Uncle, Auntie, don't you think there is something wrong with these seeds?"

What's wrong?
Lin Tao and Wen Huarou looked at each other, and then looked at the seeds again with doubts. Wen Huarou didn't know much about these, so he didn't find any difference, but Lin Tao was different. He had been working in a tofu mill for a long time , Although I can't say that I know much about these things, I still have at least some eyesight.

Lin Tao found the problem easily after a closer look: "The seed coats of these seeds are relatively dull in color, and some of them are oily."

After speaking, Lin Tao frowned. He usually didn't read it carefully, but now that Rong Xi mentioned it, he remembered that almost all the soybean seeds he had seen had these problems.Could this be the reason for the poor soybean harvest?
"Eldest Uncle has good observation skills." Rong Xi smiled and praised Lin Tao, and then began to explain: "Eldest Uncle is right, the seed coats of these seeds become dull or oily, which is a sign of oily seeds. And after biting this kind of seed, the two cotyledons inside are also dark yellow or brown, dull, and the color of the watercress edge is particularly obvious. There is water vapor adhering to the seed coat, and a smooth color appears."

Rongxi's words made the two of them stunned for a while. Although they didn't quite understand, their intuition told them that what Rongxi said was right.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

So Lin Tao picked up a seed and breathed at it according to what Rongxi said. Indeed, there was water vapor on it, and it had a smooth color. Lin Tao paused, and then he quickly bit the seed open, and the leaves inside Just like what Rongxi said.

Lin Tao and Wen Huarou's eyes widened when they saw this, and they believed Rongxi's words completely.

"The seed coat of normal seeds is yellow and shiny, and the two cotyledons are fresh and bright yellow. After breathing, there is no water vapor adhered to the seed coat, and there is no special smooth color." Rongxi added, "Uncle, what did you get?" These seeds are all seeds that have lost the oil, and if such seeds are planted, no matter how hard you work, you will not have a good harvest."

She read all the key points of soybean planting before, and found that it is not difficult to plant soybeans. As long as the planting place is selected, the planting is uniform, and attention is paid to preventing diseases and insect pests, basically there is no major problem. so difficult.

After looking at the seeds Lin Tao was holding today, Rong Xi finally understood that it wasn't that people planted them wrongly, but that the seeds lost their oil and couldn't grow well at all.

Oiling and redness are the most common problems in soybean seed storage.The reason why soybean seeds are oily and reddened is that the protein coagulates under the action of high temperature, destroying the emulsified state where the fat and protein coexist, so the fat is in a free state and soaked in oil, and the pigment in the fat is gradually deposited. Causes cotyledons to turn red.The oil yield of soybean seeds decreases after the oil turns red, the color of soybean oil deepens, the taste of tofu becomes rancid, and the color of soybean milk turns red.

It can be seen that the people here are not good at storing soybean seeds, so it will cause problems with the seeds and make it difficult to harvest.

"Then Xi'er, tell me, is there any way to salvage these seeds?" Lin Tao looked at the seeds in the cloth pocket, with a pity on his face, "It would be a pity if we just throw them away like this."

"Uncle, the oily seeds lose their ability to survive, and they won't grow if they are planted."

Rongxi also understands the pity of her uncle's face. Who made their family's conditions poor and poor.But if the seeds are broken, they are broken, and there is absolutely no way to save them.

"But uncle, let's pick and choose among these seeds. Although there may be more oily seeds, there will also be seeds that are not oily. These seeds are normal and can be planted."

This is why even if the seeds run out of oil, one acre of land will still yield some results.

"Normal seeds are also easy to find, so aunt, uncle, let's pick and choose."
