Chapter 973 973.Eating dragon fruit
Song Tan:…
I have two large strawberries in my greenhouse. Why do I have to eat the rest after picking out the seeds if I want to eat one?
“I won’t eat.” She is a backbone farmer.
“I want to eat it!” Qiao Qiao raised the crimson strawberry in her hand: “Teacher Song, can you get the seeds now? I want to eat it now.”
Professor Song:…
“Okay, okay, okay.”
He also took the scissors and neatly cut off two mature Zuohe Snow Rabbits: "Let's go home and I will teach you how to get the seeds."
“I can!” Qiao Qiao became proud: “Brother Yan Ping taught me!”
ah?
Now it was Zhang Yanping's turn to wonder: "When did I teach you?"
"I taught you." Qiao Qiao vowed: "Brother Yanping brought back a box of dragon fruit after his summer vacation. You said that the seeds in it were inedible, so he picked them out when he asked me to eat them."
Everyone:…! !
Zhang Yanping was confused and wanted to laugh: "No, you really picked it?"
"No." Qiao Qiao said dejectedly: "This dragon fruit is also very good at growing seeds. It has more seeds than strawberries! I picked it for a long time and got tired. I didn't want to eat it, so I gave it to Datian and others."
After saying this, he felt guilty again: "I didn't pick out the seeds when I gave them to eat, but I checked and they are all fine."
How to say? Now there is a stagnant atmosphere in the entire greenhouse. Everyone kept their mouths shut tightly, for fear that someone might accidentally laugh.
Then Qiaoqiao's precarious self-esteem may be about to collapse.
After much thought, I had to look at Zhang Yanping - look at how bad this person is, he has the face of a gangster brother, and what he does is even crazier than the gangster brother. How could he lie to a child like this? !
Even Xin Jun couldn't help but open his mouth. After thinking for a long time, he changed the words he was about to say:
"Yes! Qiaoqiao did a good job - some unnecessary but very tedious things. We considered that the joy of eating it will not offset the hard work, so it was right to give up in time."
God knows how hard he tried not to laugh! If you don't believe it, look at the twitching corners of other people's mouths. They all pretend to be staring at the green leaves beside them, as if there are flowers embroidered on them.
“Besides, don’t worry. No one else in the world has the patience for fine-grained seeds like this, and they aren’t very picky about the seeds when they eat them.”
“Next time we meet, you can eat generously.”
Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah! I thought I was too lazy so I didn't want to pick it."
Then he shook his head: "I won't eat it. I picked a small piece and tasted it. It's not as delicious as the radish."
The topic was finally successfully changed while everyone was holding back their laughter.
Professor Song opened his mouth and couldn't help but ask again when he came out of the greenhouse: "How did you get the seeds from the dragon fruit?"
"My mother used to pick out the yellow leaves and sticks in the tea leaves with a slender tong, and use that tong to pick out the seeds one by one." He also shared his experience quite enthusiastically: "The seeds of dragon fruit There are too many, so when we take the seeds, we have to cut them into thin slices so that we can get them cleanly. Otherwise, there are some seeds in the middle that can only be found after taking a bite. "
Very good, everyone imagined the scene and really felt that this topic could not continue for a little longer, otherwise the image in front of Qiao Qiao would really be lost.
Professor Song, who had a heavy responsibility, cleared his throat: "You can get dragon fruit seeds like that...cough, but it's too cumbersome to do this for strawberries. Wait a minute and I'll teach you a simple, quick and easy way to get the seeds."
“Okay.” Qiao Qiao has always respected new knowledge.
But it’s really not difficult to get strawberry seeds. Professor Song said hello, and everyone came over to take a look. The steps are also very simple - prepare a paper towel, then use a knife to carefully peel off the strawberry skin, and then spread the pieces flat on the paper towel.
The strawberry juice quickly soaked the paper towel, and the aroma spread further.
“Don’t tell me, it really smells of yellow peach and strawberry.” Song Tan muttered, still not understanding why this smell was cultivated.
“Isn’t it very simple?”
Professor Song pointed to two tissues placed on cardboard.
Saga Snow Rabbit’s fruit is huge, and two strawberries have been densely packed all over the paper. The Zhenhong Meiling's one was a bit smaller, and it only had one fruit, so I only used half of it.
In the bowl in front of you, three delicate peeled strawberries are waiting for others to enjoy.
Professor Song could not help but feel his throat twitch when he smelled the fragrant aroma. But he is already old, and he is really embarrassed to compete with children for food.
What’s more, it’s still the strawberry after the seeds are harvested. Do you still want it if you tell me?
Adults struggle to maintain their precarious face, trying to eat but struggling. But Qiaoqiao didn't care at all. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and pinched the strawberry, then stuffed it into his mouth with "Ah woo", and then exclaimed inarticulately:
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious! It’s 100 times more delicious than the strawberries I grew before!”
He looked at Professor Song with admiration: "Teacher Song, no wonder you chose them, they are really delicious!"
Professor Song: ...Is it possible that although this strawberry is delicious, the strawberries grown by others are not as good as this one?
Hey, speaking of this taste, it is really an unsolved mystery.
Here, Zhang Yanping stared at the two seeds and couldn't help but sigh: "It looks like the silkworm eggs left over from raising silkworms when I was a child."
Xin Jun couldn't bear it and closed his eyes: "If you haven't learned metaphors well, then don't use metaphors."
Zhang Yanping was so wronged: "What? Didn't my metaphor be vivid and realistic enough?" This must be Xin Jun's anger that he deceived Qiao Qiao and deliberately looking for trouble!
But the problem is, no one knows why Qiaoqiao’s little brain doesn’t work well when it comes to dragon fruit?
He looked at Professor Song angrily and said, "I think I've seen what happens next on a video. Do you need to spray water on it, sprinkle some antibacterial agents on it, and then use paper towels to induce germination?"
Professor Song was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not necessary. Just give the seeds a dormant period after they are taken out, so that the germination rate and survival rate will be much higher."
“As for germination, there is no need for it. This fire room is quite dry, so just put them in the room for a day or two. Wait until the entire paper is completely dry, then carefully rub the seeds out with your fingers..."
He explained very carefully: "The seeds removed in this way will not be injured or damaged, and they can just enter a short dormancy. When the temperature is suitable, just scatter them directly in the soil."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it: "I hope the sowing characteristics of these seedlings can be stabilized."
Update 2, good night. It's been really cold recently.
