No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

After coming out of the study room, Li Erlang calmed down from the mood he had suppressed for a long time. The immortal returned safely, and he could finally let go of his long-suspended heart.

He put on his old cloak, took the money and went to the village to find a master carpenter.

The red cloth strips hung on the trees when the village held wedding events a few days ago have not yet been taken off. They are stained with ice slag and outline the traces of the wind.

Li Erlang walked towards the village against the wind. He lowered his head slightly, fastened the upper buckle of his cloak and lowered his hood.

The farmland here is flat, sandwiched between high mountains, forming a long and narrow corridor. The corridor is a channel for wind. In autumn and winter, the cold wind from the north is unstoppable. It is like a knife, cutting people's exposed skin and making their clothes tremble.

Li Erlang came to a courtyard door and saw that the courtyard door was closed. He knocked hard, and the knocking on the door alerted the dogs around him. In an instant, there was a continuous barking of dogs in the alley.

The old carpenter was a bit deaf, and he and his wife were the only ones at home. His son moved to the county to open a shop as a carpenter. Li Erlang was worried that the master would not hear him, so he knocked on the door and shouted: "Five Aweng!! I am Li Changxiang!!"

An older man inside responded: "Hey! It's coming, it's coming! Stop knocking! The door is going to be knocked down!!"

Then the person who opened the door was a man who looked older than Li Aweng. He raised his droopy eyelids and saw that it was Erlang of the Li family: "Your Aweng asked me to drink again? I even said I wouldn't drink." Drink." Although the old man said this, his body honestly wanted to go out.

Li Erlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained the purpose of his visit: "Aweng was drinking with me just now, and now he is asleep. I won't drink with you today."

When the old man heard that he really didn't come to him for a drink, he immediately lost his temper and lowered his face: "Then what are you doing here? It's so cold and you won't accept the job!"

"Hey! Wu Aweng, please don't refuse in a hurry! I have a business, can you help Uncle Quan look at me?" The uncle Quan Li Erlang said was Wu Aweng's son Li Daquan, who was a carpenter in the county. Shandan County is so big that Li Daquan's family is not the only carpenter. After the business stabilized, the carpentry work he received was enough to support his family.

The old man raised his eyebrows, his face became better, and he greeted Li Erlang to come in.

Before the two of them entered the house, they heard a strong female voice coming from the house separated by a curtain: "Xianglang, come in quickly, it's warm in the house!"

Li Erlang was not polite and followed the old man in. There was an old woman sitting in the main hall, busy sewing clothes. On one side of the room was the bedroom, and on the other side was the utility room, where the old man did wood work. , wood and tools everything is placed in it.

"Fifth Grandma, have you had lunch?" The charcoal stove was lit in the room, which was very warm. When he walked in, a dry warm wind hit him. Li Erlang took off his cloak and sat down around the charcoal stove with the old man.

"I haven't eaten yet. I was planning to make some pasta. Xianglang said there is a business. I wonder what kind of business it is?"

Li Erlang did not pretend to be mysterious and appetizing, and directly handed the drawing to the old man. This was a new drawing that he had re-drawn based on Ji Qingyue's drawing, and combined it with his own drawing style.

The old man took the drawing and opened it. His hands couldn't help shaking, and he immediately understood the purpose of the tools on the drawing. He couldn't help but get up excitedly.

Having been a carpenter for decades, he instantly thought of the commercial value of this object.

Wood is much cheaper than cowhide and more efficient than wind bags.

This is indeed a good business!

"Where did you get this blueprint?"

Of course, Li Erlang couldn't mention Ji Qingyue. He had already thought of an excuse, and Sanlang was an excellent excuse.

Facts have proved that having an excellent scholar brother can easily increase credibility.

"My Sanlang accidentally saw a similar tool in a book, so we discussed and changed it, and then we drew the current drawing. Wu Aweng, do you think it is feasible?"

The old man nodded: "Although I don't know the specific dimensions, it seems feasible. Wood and chicken feathers are all readily available materials, and the finished product can be used in many places."

Li Erlang echoed: "Sanlang and I also think so. If we make it bigger, paper mills, cloth mills and iron smelting mills can be used in places that use a lot of fire. The kitchens of restaurants and the stoves of ordinary people can be used for making." There are also people buying smaller ones.”

"That's the truth." The old man then said in a serious tone: "How do you want to do this business with us?"

Li Erlang had already thought about it: "I will give the drawings to you and Uncle Quan. Within one year, for every bellows you and Uncle Quan sell, we will get an 82% share."

"Who's eight and who's two?"

"Of course I'll take the big one."

The old man sneered softly: "You are still young, but you are good at doing business!"

"Five Aweng, how are you?"

The old man folded the blueprint and put it close to his body, "I can decide and agree to this business. Also, do you intend to sell this blueprint? If so, I would like to be a buyer."

Li Erlang thought for a while and agreed to Wu Aweng's request: "A blueprint is only a blueprint in the hands of a useful person. To be honest, it is just like waste paper to me. I sold it to Aweng as a favor. Why not?"

The old man looked at Li Erlang, blowing his beard and glaring. Why did he want to do this business and end up owing a favor! "How do you plan to sell this drawing?"

Li Erlang said a price, and the old man thought it was reasonable, so the two parties happily reached an agreement.

"I will ask someone to go to the county today to inform your uncle. He will be back tomorrow. When the time comes, you two will write and sign the contract, and you will have to ask the village leader to witness it."

When Li Erlang saw that the business was done, he asked the old man to make the first bellows.

"Does the kitchen need to be so big?" The old man felt itchy after getting the drawings. Li Erlang asked for the first bellows. Of course there was no problem, and it was not like he wouldn't pay.

Just now, Li Erlang paid the deposit.

"It's not a kitchen, I have other uses!"

The old man stopped asking: "Come to my house at this time tomorrow. Just stay at home and wait for news about the bellows! I will let you know when I finish it."

Li Erlang thanked the old man and did not stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye to the two old men, put on his cloak and returned home.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Aniang and the others returned home. Everyone had "trophies" in their hands. After arriving home, they hurried back to the house to sort out today's results.

Li Erlang helped carry the things into the room, and Li Erniang asked casually: "It snowed all day today. Did you go to the fields to look at the wheat?"

"I didn't go to the fields today. I went to find Wu Aweng to make some tools."

Li Aniang thought that Li Erlang was just looking for the old man to make some common tools, so she didn't ask any more questions. She fiddled with the newly bought cloth in her hand and asked: "We bought some cloth today, and we also saved a lot of furs at home. Which color do you like, pick one and let us One person can make a cotton coat!"

In addition to the cloth, there are miscellaneous things on the table, including condiments, preserved fruit snacks, and the hairpin rouge that the girl likes. The silk flowers on Li Jinniang’s head are also new. She happily sits aside, stroking the hair she chose. cloth, figuring out what style to embroider and what pattern to embroider.

When they were happy, Li Erlang was also happy: "I choose this indigo color. I seem to have never worn clothes of this color."

Li Aniang hesitated: "You are really good at choosing. I plan to use this piece of cloth to make a robe for Sanlang to wear outside. In winter, it will be worn over a cotton coat. It will not look out of place when playing with classmates. It just so happens that you also like it. There’s not enough cloth for two people! Why don’t I make you another indigo robe?”

Qing Niang chose a piece of dark blue cloth. Seeing her daughter-in-law's appearance, Li A Niang joked, "The older man will look handsome in this color!"

Xu Qing smiled shyly and looked at her son's rosy cheeks. Little Douding was concentrating on eating snacks, contentedly.

Li Erlang was holding the cloth, and suddenly thought of something, and planned to beg his sister-in-law later.

After putting the things away and making plans for the next step, Qingniang got up and took the things back to the room to put them away. At this time, Li Erlang took the opportunity to follow her out.

His room is in the same house as his eldest brother's. The house faces east and west, and is divided into three rooms. In the middle is a spare stove. Now it is not used for cooking, but for making a kang in the cold weather. By the way, there is a stove on the stove. The pot holds warm water, ensuring they have hot water at all times. On the left side of the house is Li Dalang's room, and on the right side is the room where the remaining three brothers sleep. The doorways of the two rooms are opened in the kitchen, facing each other.

Li Erlang called Xu Qing in the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something."

Xu Qing felt strange that this was the first time Li Erlang had "begged" her. She was a little curious: "What's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember my benefactor's figure? Now that it's cold, I want to go to the county to buy some clothes for my benefactor..."

Hearing this, Xu Qing looked thoughtful. Li Erlang was afraid that his sister-in-law would be embarrassed. After all, she was very sensitive to foreign men. He explained: "I have never seen my benefactor in person. I don't know what size of clothes he wears. Does my sister-in-law remember that?" What's your body shape? Can you write down the size so I can go to the county to buy some clothes for him?"

It turned out that this was what Li Erlang wanted to say, and Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She looked indifferent now, as if she had stepped out of the shadows, but in fact it was not the case. The two encounters were too dangerous, and now she just steeled herself and looked forward.

"I remember..." Xu Qing pursed her lips. She was making a decision: "Erlang, I have an idea. I will make the measurements with you. You go to the county to buy some fabrics and bring them back to me. I will make some clothes myself to repay my benefactor. This way It can also save a lot of money. However, you still need Erlang to prepare the underwear such as shirts." Xu Qing softly explained what she had not said before: "Actually, it was me who took the decision to hand over the food in the kitchen to the benefactor on that day. "

Li Erlang nodded and confessed: "Actually, I went to the kitchen on the pretext of being hungry just to get pancakes and soup with him."

Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh, their family...

After Li Erlang finished speaking, he went out. Xu Qing returned to the room, carefully recalling the figure of her benefactor who briefly appeared that day, and carefully considering how much cloth was needed.

Even though she knew Ji Qingyue was in the painting in the study, she didn't go in to thank her personally. Now that her benefactor needed clothes, she planned to secretly make some clothes to repay her benefactor.

Ji Qingyue ate pancakes in the morning and felt the pain in his body slowly fading away. Warmth and fullness are what he needs most in winter, and now that he has them, he feels very satisfied.

Suddenly, he remembered the large bag of grain he had taken that day and had thrown it somewhere. Those were precious supplies!

Where was it lost?

Ji Qingyue hurriedly searched around and dug up the wild grass along the river bank.

If food could talk, he would be calling the other person now.

After searching for a long time, Ji Qingyue finally found the bag of grain among a pile of weeds!

Fortunately, fortunately, the food was not lost.

Ji Qingyue returned to the thatched cottage with the grain bag on his back. He opened the grain bag and checked. The big bag contained millet. Unfortunately, a small part underneath was damp. He had to solve it quickly before it became moldy. There are also several small bags in the big bag, which contain flour, glutinous rice, sesame seeds, and some beans!

Flour is steamed buns, steamed buns, Hanamaki noodles, dumplings...

Ji Qingyue drooled as he thought about it.

With this food, he doesn't have to worry about starving to death for the time being.

Then his eyes turned to the vegetable field, which was covered with a layer of snow.

Ji Qingyue checked the flowering vegetables, radish, leek, cabbage and celery. The dried flowers had already bred seeds. These seeds were hope. As long as the flowers were picked, the seeds could be taken out by various means.

Fruit-bearing eggplants and sunflower sprouts are too old and are past their prime consumption time. The seeds are in the fruit. Sunflower fruits can be removed after drying, but eggplant requires other methods to obtain seeds.

The rice in the paddy fields is not as lucky as the vegetables in the vegetable fields. They did not receive enough water when they formed ears, and the rice husks were mostly empty. Moreover, the harvest time was missed, and most of the rice had fallen off on its own and fell into the fields. .

That meant he had to start all over again.

After this experience, Ji Qingyue roughly calculated the efficiency of the magical land and compressed the growth time of all crops to about three weeks, and the optimal maturity period from sowing was about three weeks.

It is also important to note that planting methods will affect the yield and speed of crops. When the environment is not suitable, the growth rate of crops will be delayed.

The more Ji Qing thought about it, would the vegetables grow better if they were fertilized? But just thinking about where to find fertilizer...

Then he looked at the pile of ashes beside the campfire, which he accumulated when he cleaned the firepit from time to time. Plant ash is rich in various trace nutrients and can be used as base fertilizer or top dressing. It can also be used to make plant ash cement, a good material that is waterproof and leak-proof.

Ji Qingyue is a person who is used to making plans. He will try his best to plan all the steps before doing something, and then execute it according to the plan.

He is a planning party, but he does not necessarily have to strictly implement the plan, so it does not matter whether the plan will change or not.

What we have to do now is to harvest the seeds, and then stock up on more firewood. When Li Erlang gets the bellows, we can start burning bricks. If the weather gets better, we can build a new brick kiln.

Double efficiency.

In order not to stain the cloak while working, Ji Qingyue rolled up the hem of the cloak and tied it around his waist, so that the hem of the robe underneath could also cover his knees.

He touched the robe and felt that the filling inside was not cotton, but some animal hair and something similar in texture to cotton, but not as tough and elastic as cotton.

Neither of these two winter coats should get wet, so Ji Qingyue wore them with extra care and treasure.

He picked all the flowers with seeds in the ground and put them into categories, including old sunflower seeds and old eggplants. The seeds of sunflower seeds were hidden in the fruits. When they were dried and shaken, the seeds would fall out, while the seeds of eggplants would fall out. It can only be washed with water until the seeds are rubbed out.

As for the chive flowers, let them spread their seeds naturally in the ground. Ji Qingyue also scattered all the remaining chive seeds, leaving that piece of land for the chives to grow freely.

Even if the radish flowers are pinched, it will not affect the taste of the fruit. The white radish that emerged from the ground has a few cracks, whether it is frozen or overripe. With a gentle lift, he pulled up the white radish that was as big as his palm, still stained with dirt.

He carried three radishes to the stream to wash. After washing, he took a bite. They were not bad, with enough water and sweetness. They could be eaten as fruits to supplement some vitamins.

Later, I will give one to Li Erlang to try, so as to share the joy of the harvest.

Ji Qingyue loosened the soil in the vegetable field again. The soil was mixed with snow particles and became soft and soft.

Even if it snows, the streams and land are not frozen. Is this another advantage of farming in the painting?

He sorted the remaining seeds into the ground, covered them with soil, and then covered them with a layer of dry pine needles and plant ash.

At this time, Li Erlang came in: "Immortal, I will go to the county to buy things in two days. What do you want?"

Ji Qingyue suddenly became more energetic!

"Seeds! Just buy whatever seeds you can buy. It's okay to have less."

"What else but seeds?"

"Uh...what else? I still have to think about this."

"Okay, Immortal, please think about it slowly. When the time comes, I will take a donkey cart and I will be able to carry heavy objects."

"Thank you!" Ji Qingyue had already listed a bunch of necessities in his mind and wanted to move a large supermarket in.

Although Li Erlang said that he could buy large items, how could he bother Li Erlang? These things would definitely attract people's attention, and their whereabouts would be a big question. When asked, Li Erlang would be suspected if he couldn't explain. Fortunately, his family is fine. After such a long period of time together, he has been able to love his family and friends and slowly let go of his guard against them, but outsiders cannot.

After so long, every time he was discovered by outsiders was an accident, and not once did he take the initiative to confess and show up.

Ji Qingyue admitted that he had not completely had a heart-to-heart relationship with anyone in the Li family. He is not in trouble now. If he encounters some kind of crisis, he doesn't dare to think about what the Li family will do to him, and he doesn't dare to gamble. Therefore, he never gives up farming and makes preparations as early as possible to provide food and clothing as early as possible. No worries.
