1011 Do Some Experiments (2/4)
Chapter 1011 Do some experiments and plant something (24)
(Some book friends pointed out common-sense errors, which have been revised.)
In the natural science class, the teacher's homework requirements are not many, and it is a bit like an open-ended question. Children can freely choose the plants they want to grow, and they can also invite parents to participate, but they must clearly write their own hands in the experimental report. What kind of work has been done? Of course, the most important thing is that the observed experimental report needs to be handed in once a week, so that teachers can see their progress and persistent attitude!
"What do you want to plant?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Xixi still has a strong interest in this. When she gets home, she doesn't even care about changing her clothes. She wears her school uniform and runs around excitedly with the textbook of natural science.
"I want to plant peach trees, Baba. Our school has very beautiful peach blossoms, and Teacher Cen took us to see them." Xixi said that Teacher Cen was the teacher of her natural science class.
I saw the little girl excitedly approached the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, pointed to their yard and said, "If we also plant peach trees, it will be very beautiful!"
Yang Yi said with a bit of tears and laughter: "Peach tree? Peach tree is not good. If you plant a peach tree, it may take several years to see the results, so you will not be able to hand in the observation homework to the teacher."
When Xixi heard the words, she retracted her little hand and said with a little distress: "Is that so? Well, then, what are we planting?"
Yang Yi carefully read the description in Xixi's natural science textbook, and smiled: "You are talking about planting vegetables, and planting vegetables is very effective, almost the same every day, no matter how bad it is, there will be new ones every week. Variation. So you can pick and choose some vegetables you like to grow.”
Xixi raised her little head and watched her father with all her attention. After blinking her eyes, she said, "Let's plant apples! I also like apples very much!"
"Apple is not a vegetable, it's a fruit!" Murphy couldn't help laughing while listening, "I understand this, how can you confuse it?"
"But, apples are also vegetables! Baba is sometimes made into a dish!" Xixi felt that her mother's words were not authoritative enough, so she pouted and argued.
"Mom is right. Apple is a fruit, not a vegetable. Even if Dad makes it into a dish, isn't the name of the dish called fruit salad? It's not called vegetable salad, right?" Yang Yi smiled and patted Pai Xi Xi's shoulder said.
The little girl thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly accepted her father's statement.
Yang Yi also reflected on himself. Just now, he let Xixi choose, is it a little too difficult for a little girl who doesn't know much at this age?
So, he thought about it and decided to narrow down the choices for Xixi.
"Now, Dad will give you a few choices. There are cabbage and celery. Their characteristic is that they can be directly cultivated with the rhizome, but they can grow celery or cabbage flowers, or they can grow carrots or carrot leaves. , These two kinds are different from the previous ones. They need to use the head of the radish, which we don’t usually eat. Of course, what we grow in this way is not a radish, but a carrot tassel, which is good for viewing like a cabbage flower. "Yang Yi smiled and said to Xixi, "There are also mung beans that can grow mung bean sprouts, the kind of mung bean sprouts you like to eat, potatoes can also be planted, unlike the previous ones, you can directly cut them with Opened tubers are planted."
Yang Yi still has relatively rich agricultural knowledge from the memory of some farming in the countryside, at least it is enough to deal with Xixi's work this time!
No, Yang Yi talked eloquently, while Xixi and Murphy beside him all heard expressions of admiration.
Murphy also said with emotion: "How do you know so much?"
"Baba, I want to plant." Xixi was very excited when she heard it, she took her father's hand and jumped up beside her, her little face was very excited and asked, "Baba, our family is so big, we all plant it. ,OK?"
Murphy also said with great interest: "Since it has been planted, let's have more varieties! I want to see it too!"
Yang Yi looked at Xixi's small head and looked up, smiled, and said, "That's alright, since that's the case, we grow one of each type. Considering the ingredients we have at home today, celery and cabbage, we Just grow celery, celery is still edible, cabbage flowers are relatively ordinary, white radish and carrots, we just have carrots at home, so we can grow carrots, okay?"
Xixi's little face suddenly became a little tangled, she pouted her mouth slightly, twisted her body, and muttered unhappily: "But, Baba, I don't like celery."
In the past few days, her father let her eat celery several times. Although Xixi tried her best to make her teeth look better in the future, she still didn't like the taste of celery!
"That's fine! Let's grow cabbage, and the cabbage looks a little better when it grows." Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't help laughing, "I don't have any cabbage roots at home today, and my father will get you one tomorrow."
"Well, I want to grow cabbage, Chinese cabbage!" The little girl opened her arms happily.
...
Now that she has decided, after dinner tonight, Xixi can't wait to follow her father and start the preparations for planting vegetables.
"Come on, this is mung bean. Soak it in water first, just like washing the rice when you helped dad cook, but you need to clean up the mung bean floating on the water." Yang Yi took a normal fruit salad , poured three handfuls of mung beans into it, and handed it to Xixi.
"Well!" Xixi ran over diligently, carrying the basin, ran to the sink, turned on the faucet and filled it with water.
Yang Yi stood behind the little girl, watching her put her little hand in and pulling it a few times.
"Okay, pick out the mung beans floating on the water, and remember these steps you did today!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "Our experiment has already started, you have to record these in your experiment report. !"
Xixi's little face tensed up, and the little mouth that was grinning just now also pursed, and it could be seen that she was also serious.
I saw the little girl scrupulously, using her two small hands like dipping water, carefully fishing out the mung beans floating on the water.
"Do you know why you want to fish out these floating ones?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Xixi shook her head a little confusedly.
"Look at it, what's the difference between the one floating on the water and the one still underwater." Yang Yi didn't give the answer directly.
Xixi stopped the movements of her hands, and according to what her father said, she picked up two different mung beans and got closer to observe.
"This one is lighter, it seems to be empty!" Xixi looked back at her father in surprise.
"That's right, because these are the shells of mung beans. Before they were sold to us, they might have been damaged during the production process, and they broke away from the shell. The reason for picking it out is that this kind of insubstantial Mung bean shell, you can't grow mung bean sprouts!" Yang Yi patiently explained it to the little girl at this time.
The title plays a small stalk, I don’t know if you remember a long time ago Jackie Chan’s movie “Little Soldier”, there is a song “Rape Flower” that sings like this: A road is open to my house, my house lives in Yoliang Ah, under the Liangshan Mountain, the soil under the mountain is fertile, the land is five acres, and the five acres of fertile land can be planted.
