Chapter 56 -56: Rare Corn Variety, Gem Corn!

The farm is becoming livelier now.

In the afternoon, a large cloud covered the sky.

Xu Yang looked up at the sky and calculated, predicting there should be rain in the next couple of days.

Then he took out his phone to check the weather forecast, and as expected, there was heavy rain forecasted for the day after tomorrow.

“Rain is finally coming; I felt it was a bit stuffy today,” he said.

Xu Yang walked out to the yard, feeling sentimental.

Rain is good.

The next rain, covering with a blanket at night, it would be both cool and warm, especially comfortable.

In the afternoon, the weather was still fine, and Xu Yang, having nothing else to do, filled the swimming pool with water and let the ducks play in it one by one.

He even tried to get the geese to swim, but the moment their butts touched the water, they sprang up immediately, not liking it at all.

The village raised geese in the same way; they were usually free-range and never swam.

Since that was the case, Xu Yang didn’t force these geese.

Little Fox came to visit again today.

They seemed to know Xu Yang was the boss of the farm, and upon arriving, they first came to Xu Yang to act cute and check-in.

And to beg for some food.

Xu Yang happened to have a bag of raisins, which he then fed to them.

Little Black saw the foxes approaching and immediately ran over to play with them.

The Maquan sat beside Xu Yang like a bodyguard, paying no attention to the foxes.

Occasionally, when tired, it would lie down to rest for a while.

Life was always leisurely.

The two male foxes were very naughty, running around on the grass, chasing Little Black.

The female fox was very gentle and actively came to Xu Yang to act cute.

When Xu Yang touched her, she would make soft, gentle whines.

Unlike her two brothers, who whined very loudly.

The little one was especially endearing.

While Xu Yang was resting here, Li Shan had already set up the lawn mower, ready to cut the grass.

“Li Shan, don’t be busy anymore, it’s going to rain, the grass is going to grow,” Xu Yang said to him.

“Wait till after the rain when the weather clears before mowing.”

“Otherwise, mowing now would be in vain.”

Xu Yang said.

“Okay, Brother Yang,” Li Shan put down the lawn mower and answered.

Having nothing else to do, Xu Yang went outside the farm and looked far towards the direction of the Agricultural University’s experimental field.

There was a large field, probably two or three hundred acres, all fields.

At this moment, many people were busy in the field.

“Agricultural University students are hardworking; it’s good I didn’t choose the Agricultural University.”

“Otherwise, everyday would be farming.”

Xu Yang inwardly rejoiced.

“Brother Yang, what are they busy with over there?” Li Shan came over and asked, looking towards the fields.

“It’s about to rain, and I see they’re planting maize sprouts, probably patting the soil,” Xu Yang replied.

“That’s their final examination task; if the rain flattens them, their grades won’t meet the standards and they won’t get credits, they might even delay their graduation.”

“I’ve looked into it; they’re all sophomores just starting their practical classes, probably not doing a great job at planting.”

“I’ll go over and check things out,” Xu Yang said, looking at the busy scene in the distance and couldn’t help laughing.

The students of the Agricultural University planted the maize in early May, and now at the end of June, the maize sprouts had grown for two months, looking a bit taller than waist height.

Xu Yang walked out with the Maquan, the little guy following closely behind.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, he came to the edge of the Agricultural University’s experimental field.

As soon as he passed by, Xu Yang couldn’t hold back any longer.

In the outermost field, the maize sprouts lay neatly fallen over a large area, all flat on the ground.

A stark contrast to the robustly growing maize nearby.

“They probably added too much fertilizer, or maybe it’s just a poor variety,” Xu Yang speculated.

“Such poor lodging resistance.”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

Watching beginners farm was always amusing.

Those in cultivation know how crucial the seed variety is, some are good, and some are bad; it all depends on where you buy the seeds.

Places like Agricultural Universities and Agricultural Research Institutes are continuously producing high-quality seeds through cultivation.

Of course, sometimes they also produce seeds that aren’t so great.

“Why oh why!”

“My glass gem corn!”

A dark-skinned college student wailed beside, and unsurprisingly, this field belonged to him.

His classmates beside him reveled in his misfortune.

“You’re definitely failing this year!”

“Pack up, and prepare to delay your graduation!”

“You used so much fertilizer, and now look what happened!”

“Have you ever considered looking at it from another angle? Your corn’s sleep quality is still pretty good.”

The college students were grouped in teams, each responsible for their own field, then they helped each other and discussed their findings.

At this moment, they also noticed Xu Yang.

“Hello, are you a senior student?”

One of the college students greeted him.

Xu Yang was handsome and good-looking, so the college students thought he was a graduate student checking on them.

“I’m from the farm over there.”

“There’s going to be a heavy rain the day after tomorrow, just seeing what you all are busy with.”

“The variety of corn you’re growing is very unique, not the usual kind.”

Xu Yang, looking at a large area of fallen corn, crouched down to examine the leaves and stems, and replied with a smile.

The farmer next door?

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, everyone immediately realized.

“It’s you! That Mountain Rushing streamer, we know you.”

Everyone immediately gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

The college students were really up-to-date with information, especially about online news.

Everyone knew about Xu Yang.

That neighboring streamer who Mountain Rushed was very popular.

But they were very sensible, knowing that Xu Yang was a streamer, no one bothered him at the farm.

“You all are also working hard, busy on such a hot day.”

Xu Yang chatted amiably with them.

Right now, the clouds drifted away, and the sun shone directly down, making it suffocating and hot.

“We’ve got to protect our assignments, it’s about to rain, and we’re worried about incidents.”

“Look at this field, it hasn’t even rained yet, and it’s already having problems!”

A college student nearby replied.

“What kind of corn is this, I’m seeing it for the first time.”

Xu Yang looked at the corn lying on the ground and asked.

There are many varieties of corn, and once a famous livestreamer who promoted corn mentioned that most corn is for livestock consumption, which sparked controversy.

In fact, most corn is indeed for livestock and is a main source of feed.

Some high-quality corn is specifically for human consumption.

Xu Yang for grown up in a mountain village and was familiar with varieties of corn.

But this type in front of him, he had never seen it before.

Agricultural University sure has some good stuff.

“I planted it myself. I specifically asked the professor for glass gem corn seeds.”

“It’s the kind where each kernel is a different color, making the whole cob multicolored.”

“This corn has a super high starch content, but can’t be eaten directly, it needs to be ground into corn flour for use.”

“It’s extremely expensive.”

“I was greedy, didn’t expect it to not adapt well, and it all fell over.”

“I have to write a summary of my experience when I get back. Thankfully, I also planted a patch of onions and sunflowers, or else I’d definitely fail this year.”

The same young man who was lamenting earlier explained to Xu Yang.

This young man, Wu Kai, was tall, dark, and robust, a good seed for farming.

His classmate next to him couldn’t help but add:

“Not gonna lie, the onions you grew are pretty tasty, they’re ripe, and we just ate a couple.”

Hearing this, Wu Kai’s face changed. “Damn, I haven’t even got my credits yet, don’t eat my final project!”

“Wait for the professor to see it and give me my marks, then you can eat it!”

Xu Yang’s focus was all on the glass gem corn.

The corn was colorful, each kernel a different hue, like gemstones.

Indeed, it was both stylish and flashy.

Pretty interesting.

The college students continued chatting.

“You think you can succeed when a senior has failed to grow glass gem corn for two years?”

“Forget about resisting lodging, I see your corn doesn’t even have ears, it’s not forming starch at all.”

Wu Kai shouted, “I’m telling you, it’s because I don’t have a greenhouse. If I could get a field with a greenhouse, you’d see if I can grow it properly.”

Then, Xu Yang asked Wu Kai:

“Could I buy some seeds of glass gem corn? Not too many, forty or fifty will do.”

“I want to try growing them myself.”

Hearing Xu Yang’s request, they immediately replied:

“That’s nothing, you can take dozens of seeds.”

“They’re all distributed by the school, we have several bags, I’ll get you some.”

Xu Yang and the college students struck a deal.

The college students were willing to help, mainly because a few dozen seeds really wouldn’t make much of an impact since they were growing their own anyway.

Soon, Xu Yang got more than forty seeds of glass gem corn from the Agricultural University students.

Seeing the test field of Agricultural University, he felt like trying farming himself.
