?Chapter 409: 409. The Best Rice in the World_1 Chapter 409: 409. The Best Rice in the World_1 What does delicious rice look like?

Originally, Lao Song’s family grew rice varieties more common in the south, which were harder in texture. Furthermore, their seed selection was just average, so the taste was really subpar, on the same level as the rice sold in supermarkets for one or two yuan per jin.

But this year, when Song Tan came to cultivate rice, considering that the family members were getting on in years, he chose a variety found more commonly in the north — Japonica rice.

Japonica rice is shorter and plumper, with a soft, delicate, and sweet flavor. Except for being slightly inferior to Indica rice when making fried rice with eggs, it’s pretty good for everything else.

Most importantly, this year they cultivated two rice crops, so timing for breeding and transplanting seedlings started earlier than usual.

And Japonica rice is more cold-resistant; its amylopectin structure becomes even sweeter with the big temperature differences…

In short, suitability is determined by the local environment.

Because of this, Song Sancheng grumbled for a long time, with one main idea —

He had gotten used to eating hard rice over the years and did not like that sticky, soft type.

Moreover, based on their agricultural experience from decades ago, rice that was a bit harder was thought to be more filling.

It was Song Tan’s words that eventually convinced him:

“Dad, twenty years ago, you had to carry bundles of rice back home. Now we have machines, and for the work our family can’t finish, we’ve hired help… Qiaoqiao is already so big, you don’t still want to struggle like we did when we were kids, right?”

“Eating something softer is also less of a burden on the stomach.”
