Agriculture Idol

Chapter 115 You are not as tall as my family ([-])

After being abused by the resort's busy workload for a few days, Zhou Hao took a moment to find Lin Yiyi, finalized the next live broadcast of Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong's agricultural assistance, and then fled the resort.

After using some vegetables that people don't like to eat before, Lin Yiyi collected some suggestions from netizens on the Internet, so even more unpleasant vegetables appeared on the scene.

When the live broadcast started, the netizens in the live broadcast room saw thick snow in their eyes.

"This snow is definitely bigger than that in Hongming Village!" Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong walked on the white ground one after the other.

"That's right, and it's much colder than Hongming Village." Brother Xiaoyong nodded in agreement.

This time, they went to a small city in the northernmost part of Huaguo. It had just snowed two days ago. When the two of them stepped on the fresh snow, their feet made the sound of "creaking" snow rubbing against each other.

Soon, the two came to the front of a row of greenhouses, and the person who got off the freight truck beside them was A Ming, the farmer Li Chengxin and the others were going to interview.

Amin, who lived in the north of China since he was a child, originally found a job as an auto repair mechanic in the county after graduating from high school, but due to poor economic benefits, Amin lost his job and returned to his hometown in the countryside, where he began to inherit the family's land. farming.

Now in his 30s, he has become a leader among young local farmers and has introduced new techniques for planting green onions.

[After waiting for a long time, it turns out that the theme this time is green onions]

[Green onions are very choking, I don’t like eating them! 】

[I can only think of the onion song, it seems that there are really few dishes with green onions at home]

After A Ming led Li Chengxin and the two into his greenhouse, the content of eating and broadcasting this time was finally recognized by the netizens themselves.

【Eh?But is that how green onions are grown? 】

[The previous article "introduced a new type of green onion planting technology", it feels really new...]

"This scallion feels so strange." Li Chengxin also expressed his own doubts.

The green onions planted in the greenhouse in front of him had grown neatly in several rows, but it looked different from the situation he was familiar with growing green onions in his own village.

"Is this using black cloth instead of soil?" Brother Xiaoyong also has more experience in farming than Li Chengxin, so he can see the difference.

Originally, when scallions grow, the part that grows above the ground will turn green after being exposed to light.

In order to increase the white part, the farmers will pile up the soil according to the growth of the green onion, and pile it up six to seven times, so that the long white part of the green onion will not be exposed to light.

This is the reason for the high ridges in the general green onion field.

But in Amin's scallion field, the land is flat, but he used opaque black cloth to wrap a circle under each row of scallions.

"This is the cloth that replaces the soil burial method for planting green onions," Amin introduced. "By using black shading cloth to block the light of the green onion seedlings, the green onion seedlings are in a state where they are buried and do not receive sunlight. What is cultivated is the white and tender scallions of my family."

With that said, A Ming untied the black cloth on both sides of a row of green onions, allowing Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong to see the growth of the green onions behind the black cloth.

I saw the part of the scallions covered by the black cloth, all in the light-white range.

"Wow! This is the first time I've seen this!"

"Yes, this part is usually buried in the soil. The way it grows is really magical."

Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong commented.

"In this way, green onions can be cultivated even without soil burial, which saves a lot of physical work in piling up soil, and at the same time, the distance between each row of green onions is much smaller." Amin continued to explain, pulling out the green onions from the row Take out a green onion.

Since the part of the scallion under the soil has only a little root, the scallion is easily pulled out.

"Hey, it's super clean! You don't need to shake the dirt!" Brother Xiaoyong pointed at the scallions with only a little soil trace in surprise.

That's right, the scallions that are usually harvested by the soil burial method, because they are buried very deep, will bring a lot of soil when pulled out.

Relatively speaking, there is no need to bury the scallions in the soil in Amin's house, the white part of the scallions is very clean.

Li Chengxin took the green onion handed over by A Ming, held it up next to her and compared it, and found that the whole green onion was almost as high as her chest: "It feels like the green onion leaves are much longer than ordinary green onions."

Brother Xiaoyong was a little dazed holding another green onion: "When I was a child, my parents took me to play around here. I got lost in a field of green onions. Later, when I thought about it, I always thought I was dreaming. When I saw this green onion, It turned out to be real, there really are such tall green onions!"

After peeling off the withered outer layer of the scallions, Li Chengxin sighed again.

"This scallion is really white!"

"Also, is it longer than the white of ordinary scallions?" Brother Xiaoyong also noticed this.

"Yes," Amin replied, "The white onions of my scallions are 10 centimeters longer than those on the market."

"It looks really good!" Brother Xiaoyong stroked the white part of the scallion, and then bit into it.

【Appeared!Northerners eat green onions raw! 】

[Evil ways!This is evil! 】

[Even though Brother Xiaoyong eats so deliciously, I still can’t accept eating raw green onions! 】

"It's so sweet! It's delicious!" Brother Xiaoyong chewed on the scallions, "It's very juicy, and the sweetness comes out immediately!"

Li Chengxin is relatively gentle, but he ate it without changing his expression: "It's sweet and crispy, really good! I remember the writer Lao She wrote 'like folded shortbread, like beautiful white silk' to describe the green onions in the north, It feels very accurate.”

"Ah! It's sweet at the beginning, and after the sweet taste, if you continue to chew, it's... so spicy! It's delicious!" Brother Xiaoyong has almost finished half a green onion.

"But it's really refreshing! After eating this, you will definitely change your view on scallions!" Li Chengxin commented.

"Oops! Scallion snot!" When Brother Xiaoyong finished eating the white part of the scallion, clear and viscous juice flowed out from the leaf part of the scallion, and the sweetness of the scallion probably came from this.

Onion mucus is rich in a component called fructan, which is a polymer of fructose molecules, which can increase the cold resistance of plants. Fructan will combine with the cell membrane to ensure the shape of the cells and prevent the cells from being damaged.Therefore, plants that can convert nutrients into fructans can grow well under low temperature conditions.

Foods such as artichokes, asparagus, green beans, leeks, onions, scallions, chrysanthemums, and wheat contain a lot of fructans.

"No wonder it's freezing outside, A Ming's scallions can still grow so well." Li Chengxin said looking at the full snot in the scallion leaves.

"On the other hand, it is precisely because of low temperature that the sweetness of plants can be stimulated." Amin also said.

The temperature in his green onion greenhouse is only about 2 degrees, which is an extremely cold state for plants. In this state, the frozen green onions will produce and store sugar to protect themselves in order not to wither themselves.

As he spoke, Amin pulled out another green onion, folded it into small pieces, and "ding~" it for 3 minutes with the prepared microwave.

"Please try this way of eating."

"I've never seen it eaten this way." Brother Xiaoyong said, using disposable chopsticks to pick up a piece of green onion and put it into his mouth, "It's so sweet! It's sweeter than eating it raw!"

"Sweet, soft, and full of juice!" Li Chengxin picked up a piece and dipped it in some soy sauce, "It feels much softer than ordinary scallions."

Amin smiled and said, "Xin Wa'er has discovered that softness can indeed be cultivated without soil burial."

Brother Xiaoyong, a self-proclaimed soil picker, quickly grasped this point: "If you plant scallions with the soil burial method, the white part of the scallions will be hardened by the pressure of the soil. But here the scallions grow in the shading cloth and can grow freely. growing, so the white part of the scallion is fluffier. Is this the reason?"

"That's true." Amin nodded. "My scallions are on the market in winter, and the white part of the scallions is white and soft, so they are named 'soft white in the snow'."

[It sounds like the name of cigarettes]

[Haha, my first reaction is soft white is also smoke]

[Obviously I feel that this name is very poetic, but it was completely ruined by you! 】
