After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wenbo and Wenhao went to the academy, and Li Xin took his two sisters back to Guihua Village.

Walking in the village, at first glance, there were rice swaying everywhere. The ears of rice were already very long at this time, and it should not take long for it to be harvested. Li Xin also went to look at his own field and saw two kinds of rice.

The seeds grown are no different from those grown by others. The plants are tall, but the ears are not long and there are few tillers. As you can imagine, the yield must be low.

This is the difference between the rice of this era and the previous life! The ears of the rice grown from the seeds brought in the previous life have turned yellow, and it seems to be ready for harvest. Each plant has many ears of rice, and the ears are

There are also a lot of grains, and the long ears of rice can't hold their heads anymore. Looking at it, they know that the yield must be very high. Li Xin broke off an ear and looked at it carefully. For her,

, a lot of rice seemed to be similar, and she really couldn't tell what kind it was.

Although the yield seems to be high now, I am afraid it is only for this year. If it is hybrid rice, you cannot save seeds, and it will be extinct after one year. But in the previous life, conventional rice was squeezed out by hybrid rice, and almost no one

I went to cultivate conventional rice, but it is difficult to buy conventional rice in places that sell grain seeds. The possibility of it being conventional rice is really very small.

After all, she graduated from an agricultural university and knows a lot about food crops. In fact, since the advent of hybrid rice, it can be said to have developed rapidly, and the planting area has also increased rapidly. Gradually, the concept that hybrid rice is better has also

It has taken root in people's hearts. Conventional rice has been almost gradually eliminated by hybrid rice due to its shortcomings of few tillers and troublesome management. Hybrid rice has many tillers, requires less seeds per acre, and grows thickly and tall in management without using flowers.

Too much labor is required, so many people still prefer to grow hybrid rice.

The planting area of ​​conventional rice is getting smaller and smaller. Almost only some areas that specialize in cultivating high-quality rice and high mountain areas where hybrid rice cannot be planted will retain the habit of planting conventional rice. Also because there are still areas where conventional rice is planted, conventional rice

It can be said that it has not been completely replaced by hybrid rice.

The specialty of conventional rice is that it can adapt to a wider range of areas, the rice tastes better, and the price of rice seeds is quite cheap, which can greatly reduce the planting cost of rice farmers. However, conventional rice breeding itself suffers from market challenges: the breeding time is long and the investment of human and financial resources is large

; Intellectual property rights are difficult to protect, and market economic returns are low. For this reason, some conventional rice breeding units have given up on conventional rice breeding.

However, there are some people who are not afraid of difficulties and have worked tirelessly for decades to breed a large number of high-quality rice varieties. Li Xin has also paid attention to conventional rice before, because the quality of rice is very good. She also thought that if the yield of conventional rice could be increased

, there must still be many people willing to plant it. She has heard about "Tsuhara 45", which has caused a shock in the field of breeding across the country, with a high-yield field of about 800 kilograms. It is resistant to rice blast, striped leaf blight, and rice planthoppers, etc.

A variety of diseases and insect pests, and won the second prize of the National New Variety Breeding Award.

However, there is no reward for researchers in cultivating conventional rice, and the reward is almost far less than the cost. Because conventional rice can save its own seeds, unlike hybrid rice, which requires buying seeds every year, the rice seeds for the second year are

Almost none of them can be sold. Moreover, intellectual property rights cannot be protected, and many people propagate seeds without authorization to sell them. This is why many companies are unwilling to spend money and effort to develop conventional rice varieties, let alone operate conventional rice varieties.

.

But thinking about it, the planting of conventional rice should slowly recover, because "high yield" is not the "patent" of hybrid rice, but "high quality" is the permanent "**" of conventional rice, and the low cost of conventional rice can certainly be mobilized.

Farmers' enthusiasm for planting. Conventional rice can save its own seeds the following year, which saves the cost of seeds. Conventional rice requires less pesticides and fertilizers.

Li Xin hopes that these are high-quality conventional rice, but it is not up to her to decide whether it is or not. She should try it again next year!

After walking around in the sky to see how the crops were growing, she went home.

Two days later, shopkeeper Sun sent a waiter over, for those cherry tomatoes. The pumpkin output was gradually decreasing, and Li Xin also wanted to keep some old pumpkins, so he picked more and more tender pumpkins.

The fewer there were, the fewer the waiters would come. Shopkeeper Sun was very attentive and asked the waiters to bring some flower pots over. Li Xin then worked with the waiters to dig some cherry tomatoes in the vegetable garden and transplant them into flower pots.

There were not many cherry tomatoes left, so Li Xin asked him to dig some large tomatoes.

The waiter was surprised when he saw the red tomatoes. The fruit was really beautiful. Li Xin asked him to pick some and try them. The taste was not much different from cherry tomatoes, but the fruit was a bit bigger.

, does not have the petite and exquisite feeling of cherry tomatoes. However, being big also has its advantages. When you eat it raw, the juice inside is sour and sweet and very delicious.

After the transplanting was completed, Li Xin picked a basket of tomatoes and peppers and asked Yuexiang and Yueting to look after the house. She took the basket and took a carriage to the town with her assistant.

Sitting on the carriage, Li Xin felt that she should also buy a carriage. Originally, the whole family was full of children, and so was she. Even though her mind was mature, her body was still young! She walked very slowly and was too slow.

It's tiring. It would be different if there was a carriage. It would be easier to go anywhere.

But driving a carriage is a bit troublesome. She drove a car in her previous life, but she may not be able to drive a carriage! Horses are not obedient animals after all. But let’s wait a little longer! Nowadays, the family is building a new house and building a new house in the town.

The person who bought a house has already made countless people jealous. If he buys a carriage again, some people will be envious! I don’t know what kind of trouble he will get into!

The whole family is just a kid, so we should keep a low profile if we can! After all, we are not afraid of thieves, we are just afraid that thieves will miss us!

It’s really not good at all to have money but not be able to spend it boldly. It’s not good to have an adult at home. I don’t know if it’s good to hire someone at home. I still need to think about it carefully. If I can hire an adult at home, I can feel more at ease.

Some. However, you must carefully consider hiring people. They must be trustworthy!

Not long after, we arrived at Pinxiang Pavilion. The Mid-Autumn Festival was over, and the streets seemed to have returned to their former appearance. However, the osmanthus flowers in the autumn had not bloomed yet, so the fragrance of osmanthus flowers on the streets had not disappeared.

The aroma fills the air, and a simple town feels like a fairyland.
