0468 Staple food

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xu Yi originally thought that it would be like planting in a flower pot, and the pulp on the crown buds would have to be cleaned.  Although there are no bacteria in the space and will not cause rot, I don't know if leaving too much pulp will affect the rooting of the crown buds.  The pulp must be cleaned and the crown buds must not be damaged too seriously, otherwise the fruit may not be able to survive even if it is planted in the space.  It would take a day or two to plant pineapples, and I don¡¯t know what time it will be when we return to the riverside.  If there was no Xiao Li, it wouldn't make much difference whether he could get out or not, and whether he could go back to Yanjiang or not wouldn't make much difference at all.  But now we can only take a car back from the village. If it takes too long, we might have to go back at night.  Planting pineapples is of course easy. It just involves digging a hole, filling it with some soil, and counting one, two, three, four, five Some people always say that cooking is troublesome. Is it fair to say that cooking is troublesome?  In fact, it is not troublesome at all. What is troublesome is the process of selecting ingredients, cleaning and chopping vegetables.  As for actually cooking, whether it's for the taste or the heat, the time required to cook is always fixed. Some dishes even don't even need to be stir-fried or looked at. How troublesome can it be?  Of course, if you have to talk about carving and arranging dishes, it will take several hours Don't you know that time for raising fish or growing vegetables is calculated on a monthly basis?  What's more, it takes several hours to cook a dish, but the dish is not really like what is said in the movie - it smells bad.  The result still makes Xu Yi happy. The crown buds only need to be dug out, and there is no need to clean them at all.  The most time-consuming work was omitted, and the rest took very little time at all. It only took less than two hours to plant all the pineapples.  Xiao Li is not at Yanjiang either. He just needs to go back directly from the space before she goes back, which saves him the trouble of traveling around on the road.  Xu Yi roughly calculated the time, set an alarm clock, and started working in the space with peace of mind.  Xu Yi looked around and saw that the space was full of plants and there was not much open space left.  He also thought that he might as well take advantage of this time to plant a batch of corn in these open spaces.  In this way, we will almost be able to harvest the pineapples the day after tomorrow at the latest. It is estimated that the current batch of pineapples may not be harvested by then.  Having made up his mind, he took a bamboo plaque and put some corn cobs in it, brought it back, squatted down and rubbed the corn.  The corn I planted this time was mainly for eating when I was in the space. I spent almost half of my time in the space every day.  Not to mention anything else, just eating in one day is almost as much as ten and a half months outside. A bag of rice will be exhausted in just a few days.  It is not only troublesome to have to buy and eat it all, but even if I buy affordable rice, a bag costs more than 100 yuan and close to 200 yuan, which is a bit expensive.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT OF THE WAY  Take advantage of this free time to plant some corn. When the machine is installed and the corn is ripe, we can process some corn crumbs and corn flour instead of rice. This will also save a lot of money.  There is no shortage of vegetables in the space, but there is really nothing that can be used as a staple food.  Although the old saying goes, "If you have vegetables, you will have food for half the year; if you don't have vegetables, you will have food for half the year." However, you can't just eat potatoes and sweet potatoes.  Even if the food produced in space tastes good and is probably more nutritious, it cannot completely replace the function of rice and noodles.  As a traditional farming country, the Chinese people¡¯s pursuit of rice and noodles may have long been imprinted in their genes. The desire for rice and noodles far exceeds the need for nutrients and calories.  If you really have no food and you are really hungry, you can even eat a few bowls of soy sauce bibimbap. But if you eat only vegetables without food, even if you eat a lot of fish and meat, you will still feel that something is missing.  Xu Yi thought about planting other things, but the seeds on hand were basically left by the elderly. There were dozens of varieties, most of which were various vegetables. The only ones that could be used as staple food were waxy corns.  It's barely usable.  He would like to buy some ordinary corn or something, but the provincial capital is still a city. Apart from going to specialized food wholesale markets or agricultural products wholesale markets, most of the time he can only find some finished products that can really be planted, or used to germinate seedlings.  Vegetables, or various beans used as bean paste fillings.  These things cannot be used as staple food. At most, they can be used as seasonings when cooking. I really don¡¯t lack these things. I have never grown all the beans left by the old man.  ¡°And what you can see on the market will tell you what variety it is. At most, you can see the place of production in the cereal section of the supermarket. You can¡¯t tell what variety it is, or even when it was produced.  And you don¡¯t need to think about it to know that those things look big, plump and shiny, and they are probably hybrids.  Just like those so-called "grass eggs" on the shelves, they were not all called "foreign eggs" in the past. Where can free-range chickens come from that can lay so many eggs?  What's more, I have never seen rice in the husk there, except for corn crumbs, cornmeal and corn flakes.?I never saw a whole kernel of corn at all.  Xu Yi naturally refused to buy hybrid seeds. Regardless of the cost factor, he also had to consider buying new seeds every time, which was too troublesome.  If you save your own seeds, there will definitely be separation of traits, and what will grow out will definitely be messy.  Xu Yi was really not interested in engaging in selective breeding anymore, for the sake of being forced to do so.  Waxy corn is just waxy corn. Anyway, it is a bit more troublesome to process. If the machine is overheated, it will easily stick to the machine or even burn. It will also burn in the pot when cooking, but at least it can fill your stomach.  As for the rest, the most I can do is get some soy flour, stir-fry some sesame seeds or something, and eat it together.  Xu Yi couldn't help but think that he had better go home as soon as possible. He didn't take out the scroll in panic at the time. Maybe he could also find the symptoms that solved his last fainting problem, not to mention the regular corn seeds.  You can find it back in the village.  Many people in the village may still grow hybrid corn in their fields. Although many self-saved seeds have many advantages such as good taste, most of the field crops must be sold. In the end, the yield will speak for itself.  Under the premise of extensive use of chemical fertilizers, hybrid seeds have much greater advantages than domestic seeds.  If you save your own seeds, if one acre of land is taken care of, and the weather is good, you can produce eight or nine hundred kilograms of corn at most. But if you switch to hybrid corn, one acre of land can easily produce one thousand kilograms of corn. Who will have trouble with money?  If hybrids can save seeds, it may be difficult to find some conventional corn.  However, this feature of not being able to save seeds also makes some families with little dry land, or who grow some corn on their private plots and vegetable plots, often grow corn that they save for their own consumption. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In most cases, only a few pieces of land are planted, and in less cases, only dozens or hundreds of trees are planted.  It's too troublesome to buy seeds every year for this small amount of land. Anyway, I just grow some for my own consumption and raise enough chickens and ducks. It doesn't matter the yield at all, and the conventionally grown corn tastes better.  So these families will keep some regular corn seeds to some extent, and you can just go back and order some from them.  As for rice, wheat, etc., Xu Yi has no choice.  In the early years, there were not many paddy fields in the village, and all that was planted were self-saved seeds.  As the price of rice has increased in recent years, the land in front of the village has basically been converted into paddy fields.  Conventional rice also has poor yields, so bit by bit it has been replaced with hybrid varieties.  And it¡¯s not like most of the private plots of each family are grown on their own mountainside. Although corn is a wind-pollinated flower, the plots of each family are not together, and there is a natural isolation zone, so the corn seeds planted on their own can still be maintained.  Pure.  Rice is also a wind-pollinated flower, but the paddy fields in the village are concentrated in one area. Over the years, even if someone keeps the seeds at home, they have become hybridized little by little. Even if they really haven¡¯t changed the seeds, they will definitely not be able to do so after so many years.  Use it no more.  Nowadays, except for some people who save some sticky rice seeds for making wine and making rice cakes, conventional self-saved rice is no longer available.  As for wheat, no one has grown it for many years after the joint production contract. If you want to buy some flour, you can still make more money by growing rapeseed in the fields in winter.  Most of the roadside from the village to the county seat is farmland. Xu Yi has not seen wheat grown in many years. In winter, even if rapeseed is not grown, cotton is often grown.  As for summer, you can still see some shaking in the early years. The price of corn has increased in recent years. At a glance, all the crops are corn.  Therefore, Xu Yi didn't know where he could get these things for conventional planting. There was no way here in the provincial capital. When he bought the machine, he saw some seed shops there, but he thought they must be hybrid varieties.  There must be a large number of vegetable seeds for takeaway, and it is unlikely that these conventional seeds are sold.  ????????????????????????: There are a lot of self-saved seeds found online, but Xu Yi really never thought of buying them online.  After all, the germination rate of the Tilia seeds I bought at the flower and bird market was so low, let alone from the online store.  I also saw that both strawberry seeds and rose seeds were sold. Maybe I could buy some rice seeds. It wouldn't be surprising to receive a pack of barnyard seeds or something like that.  I have also seen it said on the forum, even if you avoid buying seeds, you will not be able to avoid the disaster of Suqian!  Of course, if you are not in a hurry, it is not completely hopeless.  I am going to Agricultural University in the fall. Such a big school will definitely have a breeding base.  Whether they are used as parents or experimental materials, or even just for species conservation, there should be no shortage of such local varieties. I believe there will still be opportunities to obtain these in the future.  He even thought about buying an oil press when he got rich in the future.  Anyway, oil crops such as peanuts, sesame and soybeans can be grown in as much space as you want, and you can squeeze out whatever you want.  In this way, most of the things in the space can be produced by oneself, and the rest may only need to be bought.Ingredients and meats, etc., so that there is no need to worry about eating and drinking in this space.
