Chapter 309 Planting Corn [2]
Originally, when germination seeds, a thermometer should be placed inside, and the temperature should be strictly controlled between 25-32℃.
But there were no thermometers in this era. Fortunately, Su Jinse was engaged in scientific research when he was in China. He did a lot of scientific research and his control of temperature was still very good. He was not as accurate as the thermometer, but there would be no mistakes.
The seeds that germinate should be checked every 3-4 hours, and they must be turned up and down to prevent the seeds from being too high. They should also pay attention to the carbon fire conditions in the small fire kang. Therefore, Su Jinse is busy and has worked hard, so she always gets up at night. When she comes back, she sits directly in front of the small fire kang, holding her little head and taking a nap.
Zhang Tiezhu got up in the middle of the night and found that Baoer was not sleeping and was still standing in front of the small kang. Even he sighed with such serious and firm attitude.
He gently picked up Su Jinse and prepared to carry her into the room and let her sleep on the bed, but he woke up as soon as he touched her.
"Baoer, be good, go to the room to sleep." Zhang Tiezhu coaxed softly.
Su Jinse shook her head stubbornly, "No, I have to stay here."
"You go to sleep, I'll guard it." Zhang Tiezhu said.
Su Jinse still shook her head stubbornly, "I must keep it, I can't give up halfway." The key to controlling the germination temperature, she was worried that Zhang Tiezhu would not do it well.
Seeing that she didn't go to sleep, Zhang Tiezhu didn't sleep either. She moved a small stool and sat with her in front of the kang. After sitting for a while, Zhang Tiezhu was worried that she was hungry, so he made a bowl of noodles with flour and added two eggs to it.
After eating, Su Jinse felt that she was much better.
Zhang Tiezhu watched seriously from the side and gradually mastered a lot of knowledge. The father and daughter, one big and one little, were guarding the small kang.
Su Jinse couldn't hold on behind her anymore, and she fell asleep while sitting. When she woke up the next day, she was already lying on the bed, and the sun outside was so big that it was getting late.
Oh, her corn seeds!
She hurriedly ran over and found that her father had been guarding the small kang, and had been doing it according to her method, and the temperature of the kang was just right.
Su Jinse couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt a little happy. Her father learned these things very quickly and mastered knowledge very quickly. In this way, she would be much more relaxed and avoid many difficult-to-explain problems.
After three days like this, Su Jinse discovered that the corn seeds had germinated!
Zhang Tiezhu was overwhelmed with surprise, "These seeds sprouted in just three days! This method is really good!"
He went to see the corn kernels he sprinkled in the soil every day, and there was no sign of germination.
Zhang Tiezhu quickly told Li Hongxiang the good news. The two of them were very happy and quickly sprinkled the sprouted corn kernels into the soil one by one.
Zhang Tiezhu decided to use this method to implement the remaining corn seeds, planting two acres of land.
After their second batch of corn seeds were planted in the soil, the corn kernels he had sprinkled in the soil slowly sprouted, and the germination rate was not very high, only half of them sprouted.
The corn season lasts about 100 days. During these 100 days, Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang are always serving each day carefully.
Three months passed in a flash, and the corn matured in the blink of an eye.
Several large baskets of corn from two acres of land were harvested.
