After making sure that the seeds were fully mature, Shu Miao immediately picked all the fruits from the pistils of more than a dozen plants and put them into ceramic jars.
Then he dug non-stop along the flower bead column towards the root. When he saw that the Gastrodia elata he dug out were all plump in appearance, Shu Miao was stunned for a moment.
Then he weighed it and realized something was wrong.
I immediately broke the Gastrodia elata in half, and found that not only was the inside of the Gastrodia elata hollow, but the remaining internal tissue had become cotton-like, and some parts were even black.
I immediately understood why Doctor Wang said that Gastrodia elata at this time had almost no medicinal value.
In this case, Shu Miao didn't plan to slowly check the other Gastrodia elata, and just left it aside.
Getting ready for the next round of planting.
First, I calculated the 300 or so seeds harvested this time. According to previous experience, there are 20 seeds in two square mushroom nests.
Ten mushroom nests will be created in the space first, and the remaining seeds will be left in the outside world for experiments.
Although there are not many in total, this thing is valuable!
As for the issue of firewood, she had stockpiled a large amount of it over the past two years.
The storage room of nearly 150 square meters was simply filled with fresh firewood that had been chopped into pieces.
Of course, so much firewood would require cutting down a lot of oak trees, but she didn't dare to do so in the mountains near Yueer Bay.
For this purpose, she deliberately ran into the depths of Daqing Mountain several times. Even if it was to leave fewer traces, she would never pull out the weeds in a single oak forest.
Cut down a dozen oak trees in this oak forest and a dozen oak trees in that oak forest.
Until she accidentally found out that the fundamental reason why honey fungus must use fresh wood to make its nest is because people are worried that the firewood will be contaminated by miscellaneous fungi, which will affect the colonization of honey fungus.
After learning the reason, Shu Miao remained silent for several days, and quietly stored some firewood in the space fields.
Anyway, the space will not be affected by various external factors, and it doesn’t matter whether the firewood is new or not, so just be casual.
As for the fresh firewood in the storage room, it will be kept for experiments outside to avoid future troubles.
After recording the complete data of Gastrodia elata cultivated in space, Shu Miao once again analyzed and compared the differences between Gastrodia elata cultivated in the outside world and in space.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that the most critical factor is temperature!
The weather around April in the lunar calendar is the period closest to the temperature and humidity in space.
Now is the perfect time to start the next round of experiments!
Shu Miao took the seeds and slipped out of the space.
Bring the seeds produced by the space and the seeds sponsored by Doctor Wang again, and go up the mountain immediately.
Although I verbally promised Doctor Wang not to dig up the mushroom nest easily so as not to affect the growth of Gastrodia elata.
But the actual operation power is in her hands, so naturally she cannot just listen to one side of the story.
Not to mention, it’s better to listen to the experience of a failed grower.
Kuang Kuang dug the soil without stopping and found that the only seedling planted in the early autumn of 1971 was not as good as the defective Gastrodia elata produced in the space that she planted in the winter of the same year.
But after checking the sizes of all the Gastrodia elata, Shu Miao felt upset again.
But then I thought about how I had repeatedly dug up and examined these "odd things", and I felt lucky that they were still alive. It's better not to have too high expectations.
After rebuilding his mentality, Shu Miao immediately planted the hemp seeds that Dr. Wang had kindly donated to him in the places where the seeds failed to survive.
When deciding how to plant the seeds, she immediately thought of the location where the seeds were planted the first time.
Apart from the temperature reason, is it possible that this area is not suitable for the germination of Gastrodia elata seeds, or that there are not enough nutrients for the seeds to germinate?
In any case, she did not plan to continue to open a mushroom nest and plant seeds at this location this time.
Instead, he went to the oak forest where he needed humus, loosened the soil and dug a hole on the spot.
I plan to restore all the steps of planting seeds in space one by one.
Because it was an experiment, she only opened two mushroom nests of equal size.
One piece is used to plant the Gastrodia elata seeds given by Doctor Wang, and the other piece is used to plant the Gastrodia elata seeds produced by the space.
Arrange the wood pieces, and then spread the seeds evenly like ordinary people plant vegetable seeds, and finally cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Fortunately, the oak forest is located at a high altitude, so there are naturally few people coming here. Otherwise, such an obvious piece of flat land would definitely be recognized at a glance.
After thinking about it, Shu Miao was still worried, so he picked up a layer of fallen leaves from somewhere else and covered it with a thin layer.
After dealing with this experimental group, Shu Miao went home happily.
Two months later, she couldn't help her curiosity and attacked the mushroom nest in the space.
The excuse, of course, is that it allows for better recording of seed growth.
When she saw that the peeled mushroom firewood was covered with densely packed white particles the size of rice grains, she was surprised and quickly began to record them.
The hemp variety of this period was named "Mi Ma".
From then on, every month she would dig up the mushroom nest to check the growth of the "Mi Ma".
As for the seeds planted in the wild, Shu Miao said she didn't want to be affected by it yet, so she decided to wait until winter to see.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The "hemp" in the space had already grown into hemp seeds and was planted in different nests by Shu Miao.
At the same time, it was also discovered that Gastrodia elata growing at the fracture site of the wood segment would grow better.
So it was natural to change the way the mushroom nests were buried, and they were no longer the square mushroom nests as before.
Instead, it was changed into a ridge-type mushroom nest about 70 centimeters wide and 5 meters long.
It’s no wonder that this greatly facilitates subsequent harvesting and planting.
Winter is here, and it is time for Shu Miao to check the weather as he had planned long ago.
