There was an open space in Chifang's area, and Uncle Xi planted a jujube tree with his own hands.
Today's southern climate is still warm.
"By the time I come back, this jujube tree should have sprouted."
Yuzai nodded: "From now on, this will be the orchard."
"Grandpa Yang Ji, do you want to leave?"
"Grandpa Yang Ji, you must come back."
Today is when Uncle Xi is preparing to leave the Chifang clan. He is going to the Central Plains to report on his duties. Now, the threat from the Lingnan direction has been lifted. The entire Diyou clan has been wiped out in one fell swoop and must undergo labor reform. Even Shandu Shen is no exception.
I have to change my mind and become a monkey again, and the hidden dangers that may arise in the southwest are now too far for the southern wilds.
After winter comes, each tribe will send out a few elite people from each tribe to form a survey team to explore to the southwest to see the source of the collapse of the flood and where the transformed snakes come from.
There must be a powerful alien beast in that place, maybe even a tribal alliance, because the snake turned into a "slave" and escaped.
As for Sanmiao, that's not true. Sanmiao is far from the southern fields, or from Nanqiu, which should be slightly north of Dongting in the west.
As for Sanmiao's problem, it's not a big one. Danzhu is here to solve this problem. Dongyi and Baiyue have completed contact. Although it takes a long time, what should come will still come. Xunshan has begun to build a dock, and Yang
The tribal alliance near Dishan should form a larger and more complex alliance with Baoshan and Zhenling to deal with Sanmiao's attack.
At least for a long time, the war will not reach here.
"As for the investigation of Sanmiao, I have asked people from Xunshan to help check. It should be their elders who have gone there, but Baoshan is far away from here. It is estimated that there will be no news back in a long time."
Danzhu spoke quietly to Uncle Xi and asked him to report back to the Central Plains. He meant to tell the emperor that he was working, he was working! I am very serious about not fishing, dad, please don't push me.
Uncle Xi gave me an "I understand you" look.
"Grandpa Yang Ji, you must come back to save me."
Yupan's eyes were filled with tears and his little face was twisted, while Danzhu grabbed his head with a "ferocious" look on his face: "Until you succeed in learning, no one will come to save you even if you scream until your throat is broken."
"Your recent, um, yes, those 'scores' are pretty good. According to what you wizards say, I decided to give you a 'midterm exam'."
The corners of Danzhu's mouth raised crazily.
“If you don’t ‘pass’”
Yan Pan felt a chill.
I am just an ordinary tribal boy, why does life treat me like this!
"Okay, okay, listen to Ahong, he is also doing it for your own good."
Uncle Xi finally said goodbye to everyone and promised: "I will come back. I will never make a mistake. I just went to do something."
He looked at the tall earthen walls of the Akakata family and was filled with emotion.
He definitely wants to come back, he wants to take a look, as Su Zai said, it can be compared with the "Wildness of Heaven" in the Central Plains.
A few days after Uncle Xi left, Yu Zai and Yu Tu also started to work on a new task.
Write a book!
Of course, in fact, it should be called "Rural Work Manual". This "book", ah, is actually a bamboo slip. Yuanzai is planning to write a series. As for the content
"The first volume simply writes about the judgment of the twenty-four solar terms, the second volume is about the art of observing the sky, the third volume is about detecting water vapor, the fourth volume is about plowing fields and harvesting grain, and the fifth volume is about various types of things that can be planted
Cereals and Crops”
"The sixth volume is about the selection of manure and soil identification, the seventh volume is about fertilization and irrigation, the eighth volume is about sericulture and hemp cultivation, the ninth volume is about fishing and raising chickens, and the tenth volume is about making basic equipment."
"The eleventh volume is about fruit tree cultivation, and the twelfth volume is about summarizing common sense. Let's leave it at that for now. The workload is still quite large."
Because there are not many fruit trees found in ancient times, people domesticated five fruits in ancient times, peaches are one of them, and then jujubes. Jujube trees have been transplanted. Although they are protected by deities, there is no need to worry about transplantation failure.
, but Yu Zai still briefly taught everyone the grafting method.
The technology is here, and it will be used one day. Knowledge is a good thing.
But Yuan Tu was a little helpless. This was not something that could be written in a few days. Wu Zhen did whatever he thought of, and asked the tribal wizards to come and copy it. Although it was paid training, carving was very time-consuming.
"I heard that there are plum trees in Xunshan. Do you want to buy some?"
Yuan Tu said this. Last time she went out for cooking and medicine, she brought back a lot of good things. At the same time, she heard the news.
Yuzai thought it was fine, so she went back to exchange the cart order for two more carts to see if the deal could be concluded.
Plums are a good thing. If there are green plums, the five fruits are short of an apricot, but apricots don’t seem to be found in the south.
"Let me see what good things are in your basket. Where is Shan Bo?"
When Shan Bo heard someone calling, he immediately came over with a basket.
Facing the difficult life, Shanbo finally gave in. He couldn't escape, so he just worked here.
Ruan Zai was rummaging around inside, because Ruan Zai had mentioned to Yuan Tu and the others before that if there were any random and interesting-looking grasses, pick them up. Maybe there would be useful medicine, food, etc.
of.
You start with a basket, and all your income depends on picking it up.
Yuan Zai looked through a lot of herbal medicines that she knew and didn't know. There were also several kinds of herbs that were used to treat diseases and stop bleeding. Overall, the harvest was very good. But there were more that even Yuanzai didn't know, and some even looked like they were
Something like weed.
Yuzai pulled hard and caught a carrot!
"Carrot! That's great. Wait."
When Yuan Zai saw the radish, he was more than surprised. Unexpectedly, not long after he said that, Yuan Tu's automatic crop search function was activated. Relying on the characteristic of pulling up grass and looking at it, he successfully found this thing.
.
But there is another thing below that is very familiar to Yuzai.
"Isn't this true?"
Yuzai blinked and looked at one of the plants below, and then his pupils gradually widened.
"Egg garlic?!"
As soon as Yutu heard this voice, she knew something good was coming. I was afraid that this was something edible, otherwise the wizard would not be so excited, so she said: "This thing looks similar to the spring onions from the Central Plains. I thought it was a green onion. That's right."
The root is a bit fat, I took a bite and felt a little uncomfortable."
Spring onions were already grown in the Central Plains during this period. This is a native thing. In this era, it does not look very different from wild garlic. It can even be called indistinguishably. However, this is also because they are two different species.
They are all related to the same family of plants, just like greens and rapeseed are both members of the Brassicaceae family.
Isn’t this the word “薤” in ancient poetry?
Yuzai blinked. Of course, this thing may not have been picked out at this period. There is history to test. The earliest era of planting this thing was the Shang Dynasty.
The cultivation of green onions is clearly recorded. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong led Qi soldiers and horses to kill the mountain soldiers in the north. He found that they were planting green onions and then took a bite.
Darling, some strange habit of the people of Qilu suddenly awakened, and then they collected it all for them. After taking it back, they ate it themselves and sold it to the world for planting.
"It's a pity that spring onions like cold and warm temperatures and hate heat, so they can't be grown in the south."
Tribes have ginger and egg garlic. Although this thing does not look as bulky as garlic, its effect and function are similar. Garlic had to wait until the Western Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to purchase goods to bring back.
In the north, there are green onions, which are left behind and independent; in the west, there are garlic, which will choke people's noses.
