Chapter 308 Planting Corn [1]
Generally speaking, the things that Your Majesty has to be given good gifts, but how can you offer this food? If it is left untouched, will Your Majesty blame it?
Zhang Tiezhu said, "Since it's your Majesty's reward, why not eat it?" After a pause, he felt something was wrong again, so he looked at Su Jinse and asked, "Baoer, what do you think we should do?"
Every time there was something, he always wanted to ask Baoer about his thoughts first.
Li Hongxiang also looked at Su Jinse inquiring: "Baoer is the smartest, Baoer, do you think we should eat it or not?"
Su Jinse tilted his little head and thought about it seriously, and said, "Mr. Jiang said just now that this corn is the food introduced from the outside, just like potatoes. Since potatoes can be grown, then this corn must be grown too. Dad, mom, Your Majesty rewarded us with this food. Do you hope we can grow corn too?"
Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang suddenly became enlightened when they heard this. It turned out that His Majesty gave the corn not for them to eat, but for them to plant it! But he deliberately did not say it out. Do you want to test them?
If they really ate the corn, will His Majesty blame him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help but tremble. His Majesty really understands his thoughts!
However, if they can really grow corn, they will have another crop at home in the future!
So Zhang Tiezhu took out the corn from the box, put it in the room and stored it carefully, then took out a corn and studied it. How did this corn be planted?
Su Jinse said: "Dad, these corn seeds should be similar to rice seeds. You have to dry them first, right? After drying them, then sow them."
Zhang Tiezhu slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Baoer, you are still right. I was anxious for a while and forgot."
This corn was rewarded by His Majesty. He was always worried that it would be damaged. He was anxious for a moment and forgot some key issues about seeds. After all, he is also a farmer with experience in planting. Some similar seeds can be sown in similar ways.
So Zhang Tiezhu took two corn cobs and put them in the sun.
After a few days of drying, after the corn moisture was dried, I carefully peeled off one by one and packed it in a clean cloth bag.
"Dad, can you give me some corn seeds? I want to try planting corn." Su Jinse said seriously.
"Finish!" Zhang Tiezhu grabbed a handful of corn kernels and gave it to Su Jinse.
With so many corn seeds, it’s not a problem to catch them.
The next morning, Zhang Tiezhu hoeed the ground, sprinkled the corn seeds directly into the soil, and then gently covered it with a thin layer of soil and watered it.
After Su Jinse got some corn seeds, she soaked them in cold water and had to soak them for eight or nine hours.
Taking advantage of the time, she moved a few big stones, built a temporary small kang, and then picked up a lot of straw to come back.
Eight or nine hours passed in a flash, and the next step was to germinate corn.
