The medicinal seeds brought back in March were not harvested until now. Chen Yu returned to the courtyard holding the medicinal herbs.
This Baoxincao only bears three green fruits, and its rhizome is like a vine. If the top fruits and leaves are covered, the appearance is the same as that of an ordinary mature Baoxincao.
Picking one off and putting it in front of your eyes, the layer of green skin shrouded in spirit seems to be emitting a green light, which is completely different from the dark and faded environment around it.
He was no stranger to this. Spiritual plants had always behaved like this under mental power. The unique brilliance of all things was separated from its surface. In addition to the clear brilliance in his sight, he had also seen other colors, including red, orange, yellow and green.
.
The connection between spiritual plants and these colors has not yet been unearthed, but Chen Yu always feels that there is no connection between the two.
But compared to what he discovered about the magic circle and formation patterns, he had seen so many strange things in Lingzhi that he had become accustomed to them. He couldn't figure them out for a while and didn't take them to heart at all.
His eyes moved up and down, looking at the green fruit.
The fruit looks a little hard, but the roots and stems have begun to turn yellow and wither, indicating that they are indeed mature. This is the experience after many clever cultivations. Whenever this happens, either the nourishment is too much and the catalyst fails, or the fruit is not mature.
Is it possible that it needs to be cooked in a vat with hay for a period of time like persimmons?
Chen Yu thought about it and felt that it might be overripe, but it might not be meant for eating, so it became hard when he pinched it and turned green when he looked at it.
Moreover, the fruit was too small, as big as a soybean, and there were only three of them, so even if he wanted to ripen it in a vat, he couldn't.
Sitting still was not the solution. He wanted to feed Brother Chicken, but thinking about the dandelions last time, Brother Chicken and his family had suffered a lot. After thinking about it, he decided to change the subject for the experiment, and at least give Brother Chicken more food.
Take a few days off.
It's like this, no matter how many times it goes through, it can't be endured.
As his thoughts turned, he quickly settled on his target.
He stood up and walked a few steps until he came to the large water tank. Chen Yu looked forward and saw a soft white belly with fine scales floating up to the sky, lazily floating in the water against the sun.
Two pairs of short fins paddled slowly, blowing away the duckweed hanging on one side with the wind, revealing a fish head.
Maybe he noticed the movement, and the tender white fish belly turned over in an instant. After the sound of splashing water, there was only a dark figure flying down and disappearing in sight.
This black fish is quite enjoyable.
Chen Yu held the fruit between his two fingers and stood in front of the water tank to witness this scene. He couldn't help but sigh that his life was much more leisurely than he, the viewer, was.
He spent a lot of effort to catch the opponent, but he did it casually, the black fish didn't make a fuss, and he had no intention of making fish soup for the time being.
Since being put into the water tank, this unknown fish has been silent and silent, completely unlike a ferocious fish that lives in the wild and feeds on other fish and shrimps.
In the past few days, most of the time when I see each other, I see him with his belly bulging upward, lazily basking in the sun.
When he first saw it, he was amazed, but later on it became more and more leisurely, and he felt that if the fins were not too short, he would be so happy that he would pat his belly and sing loudly.
Moreover, Chen Yu discovered that although snakeheaded fish eat meat, their desire to eat is not strong. They eat whatever they are fed, and they can even eat duckweed on the surface of the water if they forget to feed it occasionally.
He has no taboo at all, which is as good as that stupid deer. At least after he put it in the water tank, except for two shrimps at the beginning, he only gave him some grass and leaves the rest of the time. The snakehead fish still looked the same.
Eat until your belly is full.
After being kept in the tank for several days, the fish, crab, and loach did not become as thin as the previous ones, but instead became a little rounder.
Really weird.
Chen Yu suspected that eating too many earthworms nourished by spiritual liquid had caused certain mutations in this guy, otherwise there would not have been so many unusual fishes.
What concerned him the most was the spirituality displayed by this black fish, the kind of cleverness that seemed to be a spirit.
Especially after the Greedy Deer visited several times and played with each other, this kind of wisdom gained his attention.
Unfortunately, after many mental explorations and communications, Chen Yu determined that although this black fish was unusual in many ways, it did not have wisdom in the ordinary sense.
In terms of behavior, wildness and instinct still dominate.
Of course, the other party has been spending more and more time in the sun recently, and his wildness seems to be gradually fading.
Gululu!
The water bubbles swelled for a while, and the black fish floated up again, swam around, leaned on the side away from Chen Yu, and continued to lie on its back against the edge of the water tank.
He glanced at it for a few times, then fished it out with his palm, and the water droplets swirled up with a splashing sound, wrapping the whole fish in it.
Blackfish was still struggling at first, but he didn't know if he remembered something. The water ball in front of him was so similar to the one before. Except for the difference in size, it was equally difficult to break free and escape. He simply gave up and turned over silently like a salted fish in the sun.
Backstroke.
Seeing that the other party was interested, Chen Yu smiled softly and dispersed the water balls. When the other party opened his lips and took a deep breath, he popped in the green-skinned fruit.
By the way, I hung the fish head and shook it to make sure it wouldn't spit it out again.
Plop! After feeding, throw it back into the water tank.
He stood still with his hands behind his hands, thinking that it should be effective in two or three days. Ninety-nine percent of the medicine cultivated by clever ideas will not contain toxins, but it is not impossible if it is inedible like fresh sheep seeds. Everything depends on whether
There will be strange changes.
…
August 11th, sunny.
The scorching sun that lasted for several days made the entire Shiya County feel a little hot, and the coolness brought by the earlier heavy rain had completely dissipated.
The water flows gurgling in the ditch at the foot of the mountain, drawn from the mountain pond not far away, and poured into the fields of each family.
After the spring millet, some farmers will sow a crop called landgu, which is similar to rice, but its yield is not as high as that of rice. It also requires several times of watering and soaking to grow.
They are planted in late spring and early summer to take over from spring millet, and can be harvested at the end of autumn.
In the mountains and countryside, it's better than nothing.
Farmers are naturally more willing to cultivate rice than in Lugu. However, in this area of Xizhou, the Central Plains and the southeast are too far away. In those places, rice is only sown in a few places and has not yet been introduced here.
Chen Yu didn't even remember this thing, but he heard it from another colleague when he went down the mountain to attend the Dharma conference last time.
In ancient times, this kind of planting situation in the east and west was too normal. Not to mention different crops in the east, west, north and south, sometimes even within a state and a prefecture, different counties and villages planted different crops.
Firstly, there is the inconvenient transportation that affects the spread of crops. Secondly, there is not much difference in the yield of most crops. Many of them have just evolved and been cultivated from mountain forest weeds.
I still remember that hundreds of years ago, this area of Xizhou was still full of people who drank blood, so there was no way to farm.
On the big bluestone, there was a furnace of fragrance. Chen Yu dispersed the random thoughts in his mind and calmed down.
A faint smoke drifted across his nose, and the incense of tranquility made from mutated fumigator fruit had an outstanding effect. He quickly stopped his thoughts, and his thoughts were concentrated, and a ray of spiritual light surged up and down in his consciousness.
Two days ago, considering that the incense stick was inconvenient, he changed the mold and pinched out the incense sticks. When needed, he cut two pieces and placed them in the incense burner.
There is an incense burner in the temple that is easy to carry and is as big as a palm.
Very small.
The only thing that required him to spend some effort was to prepare some charcoal, otherwise he would not be able to concentrate under the smoke and fire.
