Chapter 68 It must be good to learn from Comrade Su Heng
"No trouble."
Su Heng walked over and grabbed the kitten Fate by the scruff of the neck.
"Meow?"
Little Zhaocai raised his two white paws and hugged Su Heng's arm.
Seeing its clear and silly big eyes, Su Heng was immediately filled with cuteness and took a few puffs of cat's milk to replenish her energy.
Lu Mingchuan, holding a basket beside him, asked, "What are you going to do with this wheat?"
Su Heng then remembered the wheat, put the cat down and walked over: "Let's plant it in a small plot next to the yard first, and then transplant it there after the experimental field is determined."
It is estimated that it will not be approved so soon, and there is no space for Su Heng to use the existing fields in the brigade, so she still needs to farm on her own for a while.
Su Heng secretly didn't want to bring work home.
Planting outside the yard does not count.
Also, plant them outside to prevent the leaves from being eaten by chickens, ducks, and geese. Sometimes, naughty chickens will fly out of the fence and peck at the vegetables in the backyard.
So Lu Mingchuan carried a hoe and went to the side of the yard with Su Heng, found a good spot and started working.
This place was originally where Lu's mother grew vegetables. The roots of the weeds are not deep and the soil is loose. It is not the kind of hard and lumpy wasteland.
Seeing him busy, Su Heng went to prepare some nutrient water, and also brought some of the organic fertilizer that had been piled in the corner for planting flowers over and placed it under the soil layer.
The land for planting wheat needs to be piled higher than the surrounding area, and a drainage ditch needs to be dug around the cleared land.
The two of them worked for an entire afternoon before they finally planted the wheat in the field.
After watering, Su Heng sprinkled some specially prepared nutrient water. Feeling that the wheat was in very good condition, she nodded with satisfaction and went into the house.
The herbs in the yard were well tended. Lu Mingchuan also carefully built a fence around the herb garden to prevent kittens from entering and causing trouble.
Su Heng used the remaining nutrient water to water these herbs and the clover on the windowsill, without any favoritism.
"Help me throw the bamboo knife out." Lu Mingchuan's voice came from outside the courtyard wall.
Su Heng went into the west room to get it and handed it to him directly: "What do you want this for?"
"Build a fence around this piece of land, too. It's too close to the woods, so we're afraid wild rabbits and dogs might come and mess with it."
After all, it was Su Heng who took great pains to get it back, and Lu Mingchuan didn't want her results to be destroyed.
Su Heng thought so too, so he followed her to the bamboo forest and carried back two bamboos.
She couldn't help with the rest, so she went back to the house to cook.
Su Heng took a piece of wild boar meat from the wall and decided to make braised meat. In later generations, various braised meat recipes were taught publicly online free of charge.
She has been watching videos as if they were meals, and has inadvertently stored many recipes in her mind.
It was not convenient to practice in the dormitory at that time. Later, the end of the world happened before I graduated, and I had no conditions to do it. I was so hungry that I just kept thinking about it. Today I finally have the opportunity to try it.
After all, the meat had been marinated before, so Su Heng soaked it in water for a while before putting it into the pot to stew.
She tried the recipe of a very popular braised meat restaurant in later generations. The Sichuan style was spicy, but it just covered up the fishy smell of wild boar meat.
If you don’t have some ingredients at home, you can use similar substitutes if possible. If not, forget it. The materials are limited, so you can only try to make it as close as possible while ensuring it tastes good.
The fence would take a while to build, so Lu Mingchuan walked into the house smelling the aroma of meat.
Su Heng looked up and saw him: "You're back just in time. It's time for dinner. Go wash your hands and eat."
"Hmm, it smells nice." Lu Mingchuan washed his hands and came over to help bring the food to the table.
"Of course. This has been cooked through many steps, and some of it is still soaking in the pot. It will taste even better tomorrow."
Su Heng took a bite and found it spicy and appetizing, with the meat having the unique chewiness of a wild beast, but with almost no fishy smell.
It can be said to be very delicious!
The braised meat left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. Su Heng brushed her teeth after dinner to feel better, otherwise she was afraid that she would dream about the braised meat.
The next morning, Su Heng specially made some pancakes to wrap the braised meat. The meat was indeed more flavorful after being soaked overnight. It was like eating roujiamo with the white flour pancakes.
After dinner, Su Heng got on his bike and went out again.
There was only one commune left today, and it was quite far away, so Su Heng left early while it was still cool.
After meeting up with Pu Fengliang and the other man at the intersection, they rushed to Fengshouping Commune without stopping.
The conditions here are average. Su Heng noticed at a glance that the wheat in the field was malnourished and lacking water.
But water shortage is a common phenomenon nowadays. The commune here has arranged for each brigade to fetch water from the reservoir, but it can only ensure that it is barely enough to keep the crops from drying up.
If it doesn't rain, Su Heng will be powerless.
However, they can still help solve the problem of malnutrition. This batch of wheat probably did not receive fertilizer when the wheat flowers were filling with grain.
Pu Fengliang is an expert in this field. He helped the people in the commune teach some methods of making farmyard manure.
Su Heng was listening on the side, and suddenly realized that although the stems of the wheat in front of her were relatively thin, their root systems were very developed.
It seems that lack of water has caused changes in its root system, and it is very tenacious in wanting to penetrate deeper into the ground to absorb water.
She didn't know whether there was an Emperor Shennong in this world, but as a wood-type mutant, she had learned about the subject of hybridization in the base in later generations.
If wheat also takes advantage of its strengths, can we also produce better quality and higher-yield seeds?
Thinking of this, Su Heng suggested to Pu Fengliang: "Professor, why don't we pick some of this and try planting it back home, as a control group."
Pu Fengliang immediately looked at Su Heng with admiration: "Xinghe, you should learn more from Xiao Su and think more, okay?"
…
Zhang Xinghe, who did nothing but was compared with other children.
He has been numb these days.
The key point is that Su Heng is so beautiful. At first, when Zhang Xinghe knew that she cured Maizi, he felt unbelievable and thought she looked like a vase.
The reality is that you get slapped in the face.
I could only say to Su Heng, who was younger than me, "I will definitely learn from Comrade Su Heng."
"Let's encourage each other."
Su Heng felt a little sympathetic towards this eldest disciple. She relied solely on her supernatural powers to assist her, and was considered a wilder person among the wilder ones.
So when they got home this afternoon, Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan drove for half the day.
There are two small wheat fields outside Su Heng's yard.
Secretary Chen heard the news from someone at the village entrance who saw Su Heng bringing wheat back, and he came over to take a look.
When he heard that it was for research, he immediately took it seriously.
At that time, I was not allowed to grow crops alone. I was afraid of being troubled by jealous people, so I explained this to the team when I went to work.
After all, Su Heng represents the honor of their team, and everyone takes him very seriously.
Even if someone wanted to do something bad, with so many eyes watching, they probably wouldn't dare to act.
In fact, most villagers do not understand what benefits will be brought if the experimental base is built in the brigade.
But they knew that this was the honor Su Heng earned for their team!
This is an era with a strong sense of collective honor, and people are spontaneously maintaining it.
After being busy for several days, Su Heng can finally take a break at home.
Her job does not require her to be in the office, and her superior is actually Pu Fengliang.
She was very tired these days, so Professor Pu was very humane and asked her to take care of the wheat at home, and go to the city next week to discuss the experimental base with Director Cao.
