Chapter 23 Paddy, Rice
After Tu Rongrong and Tu Che made the bricks worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, they put them into the brick kiln for calcination. During the calcination period, they did not need to continue treading on the clay to make the bricks, so Tu Rongrong had time to prepare for a live broadcast.
She has been busy recently and is unwilling to do a live broadcast. Even when she is cooking, she does not have the leisure to explain anything to the audience, so she has never gone on Star Network to do a live broadcast.
Now that she is done with her busy schedule, she has some free time to go live and cook some delicious food for her viewers.
Tu Rongrong posted a reminder on her homepage, reminding everyone that she will be doing a live broadcast at noon today and is going to cook some very common dishes for everyone.
Home page of the anchor in the live broadcast area.
[Am I dazzled? I saw the host said there would be a live broadcast at noon today?]
[Ah ...
[The host also said that he would make new dishes. Aaaaaaa, can we eat delicious dishes again? ]
【Ahhh, host, I love you, host. 】
【Anchor, I love you.】
The live broadcast area was in a mess. Tu Rongrong gave the recipes of several dishes she was going to make today to Tu Che to apply for patents. Just like the previous pheasant stewed with mushrooms and beggar's chicken, there was no charge for personal consumption, but commercial use would require a patent fee of one credit point.
Of course, because Tu Rongrong directly posted the recipe, anyone can make it. So even if someone plans to make money from this recipe, it is impossible to set the price of this dish too high, because anyone can make it, and no one can guarantee that the skills of those who make and sell it are as good as others.
Tu Rongrong asked Tu Che to register and patent the dishes, and within a morning, the patents for four dishes were approved. Tu Rongrong also decided that in the future, before she starts live streaming a new dish, she would ask Tu Che to apply for a patent. This way, those greedy people would not think of using her recipes to make money, and even charge a high price.
Tu Che certainly supported Tu Rongrong's decision, so he concentrated on helping to apply for a patent. Tu Rongrong thought that the dishes she was going to make today seemed more suitable to be eaten with meals, so should she grow some rice?
Tu Rongrong looked at the edge of the plain where farmland had not yet been developed, then drove out the flying car, and flew around on the plain, scattering rice seeds from the car.
Tu Rongrong scattered the seeds on the ground while using her wood-type ability to stimulate the growth of the rice seeds, allowing them to take root and sprout as quickly as possible. Tu Rongrong spread the seeds over about two acres of land, then stopped the car with satisfaction and returned to the edge of the plain.
After getting off the flying car, Tu Rongrong stepped onto the grass. Her wood-based ability precisely caused the rice to grow instead of the various grasses on the grass. Tu Rongrong had also carefully observed that there were many plants on the plains. Most of them were common herbs, of course, there were also many wild vegetables.
Tu Yuanyuan wasn't far away. She directly extracted the energy of those plants and replenished it in the rice. Then the rice plants grew up instantly. The rice seedlings, which were only about the same size as when they were full moon, suddenly grew much larger and then began to bloom.
Tu Rongrong controlled the rice seedlings and shook them, allowing the rice flowers to successfully pollinate. After successful pollination, they would bear fruit. The rice flowers slowly turned into rice ears, and then grew into full-grained rice grains.
Tu Rongrong spent half an hour to ripen the two mu of rice. She was very satisfied looking at the golden rice fields. Then she directed the machines to start harvesting the rice, threshing it, and drying it directly without drying it in the sun.
Of course, Tu Rongrong did not dry all the nearly 5,000 kilograms of rice in the two acres of land. She only dried 100 kilograms of rice. She was just a little anxious because she needed to cook white rice at noon. The rest should be dried for a few days.
Tu Rongrong planted two mu of rice, but the harvest yielded less than 5,000 kilograms. Tu Rongrong also thought that it might be because she had forced the labor, and the pollination was not sufficient, so the grain yield was not that high.
You should know that the yield of the rice seeds she planted was about 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms per mu. As a result, the total yield of her two mu of land is less than 5,000 kilograms. Perhaps it is because the pollination is not sufficient, so some rice grains are empty shells.
Tu Rongrong was not dissatisfied. More than 4,000 kilograms of grain was enough for the three of them to eat, so Tu Rongrong contentedly collected the harvested rice to dry, and left the rice stalks directly in the field to ferment as fertilizer.
"What's wrong? What is this?" After Tu Che completed the task given to him by Tu Rongrong, he came out and saw Tu Rongrong and a group of ordinary robots carrying the rice back. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, isn't it because I need to make delicious food for lunch? The new dishes I make all taste better with white rice, so I planted some rice." Tu Rongrong explained with a wry smile.
Tu Che looked at Tu Rongrong's flattering expression and shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at the several thousand kilograms of rice that the robot had brought back and said, "Okay, what do you say we should do with these?"
"The rice still needs to be dried and screened, so Uncle Che will leave the rest of the work to you." Tu Rongrong said to Tu Che in a flattering manner, "I have dried more than 100 kilograms of rice. After threshing it, it will be enough for us to eat for a while. Let's keep this grain for now. If possible, we can sell it to make money."
"After all, I can recommend these rice after I do the live broadcast today. Delicious dishes plus white rice are simply a delicacy on earth." Tu Rongrong said with a smile, looking like she was thinking deeply about it, but this was just a sudden idea that came to her mind.
Tu Che nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, since you've said so, I have no objection. I'll go and arrange for the grain to dry."
Tu Che was really about to be defeated by his own eldest daughter, who always wanted to do one thing after another. However, Tu Che had to admit that they were indeed poor now and could only make money by selling grain.
As for making money by selling recipes... Oh, my eldest daughter said that those recipes are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors during the Earth period, and she doesn't make money from this.
"It's great to sell grain. I grow all the grain myself, so I feel justified in selling it for money and don't feel guilty at all. But selling recipes is not the same. These are not original recipes, and I don't feel at ease if I sell them for money." These are Tu Rongrong's original words.
What could Tu Che do? He also felt that what his eldest daughter said was right.
Seeing that Tu Che was busy helping other robots dry the rice, Tu Rongrong took over 100 kilograms of dried rice to husk it. Rice is not edible yet; it still needs to be husked and turned into rice before it can be eaten.
Tu Yuanyuan said nothing, just skipped and jumped behind her sister, waiting for her sister to make delicious food.
Today, Aquamarine was still as quiet and lively as ever, and everyone was still doing their work in an orderly manner.
