The following day, Qingfeng went back to continue studying the effects of electricity or gasoline on peas, while Meng Qingyin led the cubs to continue making special soil.
During this period, Hanmei sent her a lot of raw materials for making pottery basins, and Meng Qingyin took the time to make them and put them on the shelves.
After a whole day of hard work, they finally turned the remaining animal manure into special soil.
After finishing her work, Meng Qingyin was so tired that she didn't even want to lift a finger, but she still dragged her tired body to the planting room.
All the crops were planted after dinner yesterday. Meng Qingyin didn’t look at the exact time, but estimated it was around seven o’clock.
It's already five o'clock in the afternoon. I wonder if the dragon beard grass is ripe.
Meng Qingyin still remembered what Qingfeng said, so she specially called Yuanbao to come over.
Yuanbao stood on her left shoulder and reached out to gently grab her earlobe to maintain balance. The force was not strong and Meng Qingyin didn't feel much.
After a day, the crop seeds sprouted and grew well. The most eye-catching one was the dragon beard grass. Its leaves curled into the shape of snail shells. Each plant was about the size of six snail shells, and it looked cute with its lush green color.
But not all dragon beard grasses have six snail shells. Some have five, some have four, and some even have three.
This should be the growth difference caused by watering with different amounts of plant green brew, also known as pea water.
Since there is no information, Meng Qingyin guessed that the one with six snail shells might be in a mature state.
After all, she had never seen more than six blades.
Moreover, among the clusters of six-leafed dragon's beard grass, there appeared a dragon's beard grass with obvious morphological characteristics that were different from the others.
Common dragon beard grass has creeping stems, and its leaves, when spread out, are as big as a palm and are crisp green.
However, that dragon beard grass was a lot bigger than the ordinary one, its snail shell-shaped whiskers were also bigger, its leaves were thicker, and it looked fresh and juicy.
There is also no introduction.
But Meng Qingyin did not dare to be careless at all.
Special soil can inhibit the variation of plants during growth to a certain extent, but it only reduces the probability, not to zero!
This special dragon beard grass must have mutated!
Meng Qingyin had no way of knowing whether it was a beneficial or harmful mutation.
She didn't dare to touch the dragon beard grass blindly. What if it mutated into a poisonous plant?
Meng Qingyin left the planting room first, then immediately sent a message to Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, come quickly, a dragon beard grass has mutated!"
Now only Qingfeng can make her feel at ease.
Planter Qingfeng: "I'll be right there."
These three short words calmed Meng Qingyin's heart.
A few seconds later, Qingfeng rushed over.
As soon as he got in the car, he asked with concern, "Dragon Beard Grass has mutated? Master, are you okay?"
Meng Qingyin said hurriedly, "I'm fine. Come with me to check out that mutant dragon beard grass first."
"Okay." Qingfeng nodded, walked in front of Meng Qingyin, and entered the planting room first.
She immediately spotted the mutant dragon beard grass with unusually thick leaves.
Qingfeng looked serious as he squatted in front of the pottery basin to check it out.
After a moment, she shook her head and said, "This is the first time I've seen dragon beard grass mutate."
Meng Qingyin was surprised. "First time? I thought you were used to seeing all kinds of crop mutations."
"Actually, the probability of each plant mutating is different. Dragon's beard grass is a species that is very difficult to mutate. If I hadn't seen a mutated dragon's beard grass in the literature before, I would have thought that dragon's beard grass would not mutate."
Qingfeng turned around and looked at Meng Qingyin, "Master, you really opened my eyes today. I actually saw a different variation of the dragon beard grass than what was described in the literature."
Meng Qingyin was very interested in the mutation of the dragon beard grass that Qingfeng mentioned. "Then how did the dragon beard grass in the information you saw before mutate?"
Speaking of this, Qingfeng looked helpless, "Its color has changed."
She pointed to the dragon beard grass beside her and said, "Normal dragon beard grass is light green, but that dragon beard grass is blue, the same blue as the sky."
Meng Qingyin: "Is it just the color that changed?"
Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, it's just a color change." She looked at the mutated dragon beard grass again, "I wonder if this one has any special features."
She looked at Meng Qingyin inquiringly, "Master, can I take it back to study it?"
Meng Qingyin was just looking forward to it. "Of course, you can study it."
Qingfeng waved at Yuanbao, signaling it to come over.
Yuanbao jumped off Meng Qingyin's shoulder nimbly.
Qingfeng pointed at the mutant dragon beard grass and said to it, "Take a good look at it and remember its current appearance."
Although Yuanbao cannot speak, it is very human and quickly understood Qingfeng's words.
It jumped directly onto the edge of the ceramic basin and stood there, staring with its dark eyes and carefully observing the mutated dragon beard grass.
The observation process lasted for a minute. Yuanbao jumped off the pottery basin and squeaked twice at Qingfeng.
"Very good," Qingfeng stretched out a finger and touched its head, "It seems that you have remembered it."
Meng Qingyin looked puzzled, "You two... have a little secret?"
Qingfeng smiled. "Well, it's the same thing I told you last time. Yuanbao has a talent. The crops it picks will have a high probability of undergoing the same mutation as the last plant it saw. So, I will first let Yuanbao remember the current appearance of the mutated dragon beard grass. If this is a beneficial mutation, you can let it pick the remaining dragon beard grass. Of course, before my research yields results, it's best for you not to pick these dragon beard grasses."
"I see," Meng Qingyin finally understood the special features of Yuanbao. "Well, I'll wait for your research results. Thank you for your hard work, Qingfeng. You're busy enough already, and you still have to squeeze out time to help me research the mutant dragon beard grass."
"What's the hard part? I love studying various plant-related issues," Qingfeng said, not feeling the hardship at all. "Master, you've provided me with many research directions. This is a challenge for me. Okay, before it gets dark, I have to hurry back to study the mutant dragon beard grass. Otherwise, when those black-winged insects come out at night, my research won't be able to proceed normally."
After she finished speaking, she put on gloves, carefully dug out the mutated dragon beard grass, and took it home.
Meng Qingyin only hopes that the mutation of this mutated dragon beard grass is a beneficial mutation.
But whether it is beneficial or harmful is for humans, but not necessarily for the plants themselves.
For example, some plants have evolved the characteristics of carnivorous plants, which is not good news for players.
However, for the plant itself, it enhances its adaptability to the environment and is a beneficial variation.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
The mutation of the dragon beard grass is not subject to Meng Qingyin's will.
