Chapter 610 Inventions that Changed the Times
Song Shiyue looked at the large rice grains in her palm and peeled them open half-believingly. The golden rice husk was extremely soft, like the litchi fruit husk.
Below the rice husk is a layer of milky white translucent film. After tearing it apart, it becomes a white "rice grain". It is round and plump, with a smooth and moist touch, like a lotus seed carved from the best jade, and it also exudes a pleasant fragrance.
"It's really beautiful, I don't know how it tastes!"
She muttered, trying to open her pink lips and take a bite, chewing it for a few seconds, but she felt that it was indescribable, tender, crispy, refreshing, and sweet and fragrant juice flowing between her teeth and cheeks, which was even more delicious than fresh, crispy and tender, high-quality lotus rice.
The beautiful reporter's eyes suddenly shone, and he threw the whole "rice grain" into his mouth, and then he hurriedly peeled the second one, stuffing it into his mouth regardless of the situation. The lady's image had already been thrown aside.
The reactions of the people around were similar, and they quickly peeled the rice grains in their hands, as if they had been hungry for a month.
“…so delicious, I’ve never eaten something like this!”
"No? I never thought that 'rice' would be so delicious, why didn't I understand it before?"
"Come on, you used to eat rice, but now you eat Muhe. There is no comparison between the two!"
"That's right. After eating this, I think I can't eat ordinary rice in the future. Compared with Muhe, that thing is simply pig food!"
"This is not simple? Anyway, Muhe has been released now. If you want to eat, please buy it with Goddess Lan. It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive. Anyway, your family is not short of money."
“That’s right…”
Zhao Xinglan looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction. She was also surprised when she tasted this thing for the first time. When designing Muhe's genetic template, the Queen Mother fully considered the taste preferences of mainstream Chinese people and put in great care in this regard, so she could produce such a good effect.
Although the final birth of this kind of woodgrass is a terrestrial plant, it is not a taboo to soak in seawater. On the contrary, its developed root system has been specially transformed and has the root characteristics of certain fruit trees. It can fully absorb various nutrients and minerals in the soil layer and seawater, and will not cause soil fertility to decrease and deplete. It is a new high-value crop that combines the advantages of rice and fruit trees.
Moreover, its genes have been particularly optimized, and they are not afraid of all diseases and pests and diseases, and grow rapidly. The wood is extremely excellent, no less than precious woods such as nanmu and oak. While providing a large amount of food, its wood also has a wide range of uses. It has obvious effects on environmental greening and protection during large-scale planting.
Therefore, this is a plant with almost perfect characteristics in all aspects. It can not only solve the food problems of more than one billion people once and for all, but also purify the air and water sources and significantly improve the living environment of China from all over the country.
"Xinglan, can this kind of muri be grown on a large scale now? What is the promotion cost? Is the yield stable? Are there any unacceptable defects?" Li Cangyun finally calmed down and asked these key questions.
No matter how good things are, if the cost is too high, the growth and maintenance are difficult, or there are other major defects, they will definitely not meet the promotion requirements.
For example, the yield per mu of hybrid rice is much higher than that of traditional ordinary rice, but the taste of the rice is much worse. Not to mention it before, the Chinese people who are gradually getting better now are more willing to choose the traditional rice, even if the price is more expensive.
Of course, the taste of Muhe rice has conquered everyone present, so this problem naturally does not exist.
Zhao Xinglan explained: "I have solved all possible hidden dangers and defects. As long as the country is willing to support it, it can be planted and promoted in coastal areas across the country immediately! This type of plant with a relatively large demand for seawater has a yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu, and it matures once a year."
"In addition, there is an ordinary plant type that does not require sea water and can grow in ordinary land farmland. The yield per mu is 3,500 kilograms and matures once a year..."
The best hybrid rice yield per mu in China is now over 700 kilograms, and two ripens a year, which adds up to more than 1,500 kilograms. The yield per mu of rice for different varieties is different. The rice varieties grown in the north and south of China due to climate and soil factors are also different. The yield per mu is relatively different. The world's highest record so far is 1,537.78 kilograms per mu per year.
One thing to be noted is that this is just the data in the experimental fields. The hybrid rice planted on a large scale basically does not meet this number. The annual yield of about 1,000 kilograms per mu is considered a relatively common level.
Therefore, as long as one-third of the country cultivates these two types of Kunlun Muhe, it can reach and exceed the current annual grain output in China.
As we all know, China has become a pure grain importer many years ago, spending a lot of foreign exchange to import foreign grain every year, which directly pushes up the continuous growth of international grain prices and poses serious hidden dangers to national security. If Kunlun Muhe can be planted on a large scale, this problem will be solved once and for all.
"It seems that this is really a good thing," Jie Xuan pondered: "In two days, I will go to the imperial capital with you to meet those big guys, and try to get this done as soon as possible!"
Yun Feiyang asked curiously: "Is there any difference between these two types of Kunlun Muhe? Once large-scale planting begins, how can the market price be determined?"
Zhao Xinglan smiled: "Aquatic type is a luxury product, because its nutritional content is about ten times higher than the best Jingpohu Xiangshui rice on the market, Yudong germ rice. Long-term consumption has an extremely significant improvement effect on the optimization of human physique. I plan to set its price to 100 yuan per kilogram!"
"The terrestrial type is a popular product, with a nutritional content of about twice that of Yudong germ rice, and the market price can be set at about fifteen yuan per kilogram."
Everyone present suddenly changed their faces. Xiangshui rice and Yudong germ rice are the top high-quality rice in China. In the past, only a few rich people and high-ranking officials could afford it. They were a veritable luxury in food.
If Kunlun Muhe is really popularized across the country, ordinary people and even the entire country will enjoy huge benefits.
Just think about it, the next generation of China who grew up eating this kind of food have excellent physiques that are comparable to pilots. What is that? What kind of terrible competitive advantage will it form for other countries in the world?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a great invention that can change the times!
"If I were the President of the United States, I would kill you at all costs now!" Ji Liuyun made a rare joke at her with a gesture of cutting her neck.
