"However," Zhou Yuanzheng paused, "it shouldn't change much. We have had experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences come here several times before. It is not easy to research seeds that are adapted to the climate and soil here."
Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up, "What if I say I have a solution?"
"What method?" Zhou Yuanzheng became interested when he heard this.
But Shen Qingqing didn't want to reveal this too early, she just blinked at him mysteriously, "I can't tell you now, this is a secret, it's still under experimentation, I'll tell you after I figure it out, but if this really works, it will definitely be a big deal."
Zhou Yuan was watching her with a smile, looking forward to the success of the experiment, and he tactfully agreed, "Tang, if you can really research seeds that are adapted to the island, I will definitely personally invite you."
"No need. I plan to give this reward to you. What do you think? Anyway, I'm not a soldier in the army. Even if I succeed in my research, at most I'll just get some bonuses and certificates. But you are different. If I give this reward to you, maybe it can help you get promoted!" Shen Qingqing said with a smile.
Zhou Yuanzheng just thought she was joking and didn't take it seriously.
It's not that he looked down on Shen Qingqing, the experts at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences didn't have any effective solutions for the time being. His wife only had a junior high school education, so the possibility of her success was very small.
However, seeing that she was immersed in the joy of being successful, Zhou Yuanzheng did not intend to discourage her. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up affirmatively and said with a gentle smile on his lips, "Hey, then I'll just wait to benefit from my wife's help!"
"Just wait and see!" Shen Qingqing gave her a confident look.
After a few days, the planting situation of this batch of vegetables and grains had been reported to the higher authorities, but Shen Qingqing and her colleagues never received a reply.
I'm afraid that the people above can't think of a solution.
Everyone gathered together to discuss the growth of the vegetables and took the initiative to do more work. When the weather was dry, they could water the vegetables several times a day.
The distance from the well to the field was not short, not to mention in the hot weather, they had to carry two large buckets of water on a shoulder pole to irrigate the fields. Many young military wives had their shoulders worn out.
However, in order to allow the vegetables to absorb more water, everyone had to grit their teeth and persevere.
After watering for several days in a row, Shen Qingqing followed her former military wife to the field where the previous batch of vegetables were planted to check on the situation.
This time, the soil was much better than the previous few days, and more seeds sprouted. But the wives of the soldiers were still worried, "It seems that not only is the soil unable to retain water, but the soil quality cannot be improved by fertilizing alone.
After so many of us worked hard for a few days, the germination rate has only increased a little bit.”
Someone nearby added, "These sprouts may not grow up yet. They all look wilted, thin and small, with only stems but no leaves. I'm afraid if they continue like this, they will fall over."
"Sigh..." The wives of the soldiers gathered together with a gloomy look on their faces. Not only had the grain production decreased, but now they couldn't even grow vegetables.
If this goes on, they won't even be able to afford vegetables. They can't have the vegetables transported from other places, that would be too expensive!
As everyone was sighing, Shen Qingqing walked alone to the piece of land she had marked last time. She wanted to see how much difference there would be between the seeds she soaked in spiritual spring water and ordinary seeds in such a growing environment.
She walked along the ground and saw the lush green seedling at a glance, saving her the trouble of looking for a mark.
The difference was too great, the other seedlings were tall and thin, with two small leaves on slender stems, and looked as if they would fall down if the wind blew, but hers, with its thick stem and emerald green leaves, was trying to stretch out, forming a sharp contrast with the seedlings next to it.
There was a little more smile on Shen Qingqing's face.
It seems that this batch of seeds, like the previous ones, can adapt well to the climate and soil here.
She was looking forward to this seedling and planned to observe it carefully for some time.
If this batch of seeds grows well, then there will be no need to worry about food problems on the island.
