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

Four days ago, Ji Qing got up early in the morning and looked at the wheat seeds in the clay pot. The wheat seeds had only been soaked overnight, and the next day they sprouted white buds the size of pinholes. Just looking at them made people happy.

Ji Qingyue planted two types of wheat in two separate plots of land, soaking the seeds in one plot and leaving the other untreated. After sowing, it was covered with only a thin layer of fine soil and marked for later observation.

It has been four days since sowing, and although the temperature is low, it has not snowed again.

It seemed that today was another nice sunny day. Ji Qing got up early and went to water the fields. He saw that the newly opened vegetable fields and wheat fields had not seen any movement until now.

After finishing the work in the field, Ji Qingyue took a clay pot and cooked a pot of wheat porridge, chopped some dried radishes and put them in to cook together, and then sprinkled a little salt to taste when it was out of the pot.

He stood in the open space with a bowl in hand and stared at the plank bridge, perfecting the reinforcement method while eating.

As for the plan to strengthen the wooden bridge, he had already sketched it out in his mind. A wooden bridge that could stand firmly on the water without connecting nails. Because of the barrier, he could only strengthen half of it, replace the supporting wooden piles, and replace it with new wooden boards.

In the dead of night that night, two figures, one large and one small, walked across the yard in the dark. The large figure was carrying a square object on his back, and the small figure was carrying a large basket. They quietly walked into the study and looked out for a while. Close the door.

"Second brother, everything is normal outside!" Li Silang reported proudly in a low voice.

Li Erlang removed the bellows from his back and placed it on the ground. He still had a baggage on his chest. When he put it down, he heard the crisp sound of metal colliding.

"Hey, second brother, I seem to hear the sound of silver coins?" Li Silang put the big basket on the ground, and just as he closed the door, he heard different sounds of gold colliding. It was unmistakable, it was the sound of silver coins.

Li Erlang: "It's money from selling bellows for the immortal."

Li Silang: "I knew it! The bellows must be the immortal's idea!"

As soon as Ji Qingyue heard the voices outside the screen, he walked towards the bridge: "What did you two bring again?"

Hearing Ji Qingyue's voice, Li Erlang ignored Li Silang and sent the bellows into the painting after explaining his purpose.

Suddenly there was a big object in Ji Qingyue's arms, which made the bridge creak. He asked Li Erlang to wait for a while while he carried the bellows back to the thatched cottage.

Later, Ji Qingyue received the agricultural tools he had been waiting for for a long time, and the plan to repair the bridge and build houses could finally be implemented.

He was tired of saying thank you. After the harvest, he would offer Li Erlang his most sincere sincerity!

This time Li Erlang handed over not only tools, but also a bag of super heavy copper coins. Ji Qingyue didn't pay attention and suddenly hit the bridge heavily with the money bag he was carrying. Li Erlang explained to him that the money was obtained from selling bellows.

"Erlang, didn't I say that all the copper coins belong to you? I don't need any money at all in the painting, and you paid for this set of iron tools."

Li Erlang told the truth: "Immortal, how many times you have saved my family can't be measured in money! Also, I promised my mother not to take the share of the bellows."

When Li Aniang was mentioned, Ji Qing could hear the loneliness in Li Erlang's words, not knowing if it was his misunderstanding. "Did you and your mother-in-law quarrel because of me?"

Li Silang didn't notice at all that his elder brother had quarreled with his mother-in-law. His eyes widened and he looked up at Li Erlang and then at the painting, with a look of panic on his face.

Li Erlang touched his brother's head to comfort him: "It wasn't a quarrel, it was just some awkwardness, and the reason had nothing to do with the immortal." He didn't want to say more, so Ji Qingyue stopped asking.

Seeing that Ji Qingyue didn't ask, Li Erlang became anxious: "Immortal, please don't stop talking to me or asking me for help just because of this! It's really not because of you, it's because of other things!"

Ji Qingyue chuckled: "How could I ignore you? I have long regarded you and Shiro as friends. Since we are friends, how could you just stop talking to me so casually!"

Li Silang's attention was diverted and he said in surprise: "I am friends with the immortal?"

Ji Qingyue thought for a moment, netizens are also a type of friends, right? His relationship with them is like the relationship between online friends in modern society and they cannot meet in person. Compared with meeting Li Erlang, Ji Qingyue wanted to see Li Silang and touch his face.

The fact that Li Silang was spanked has always been a knot in his heart.

"Aren't they friends? You have helped me so much. If we don't exchange names, it will show that I am not sincere." Ji Qingyue finally agreed to tell his name, which made Li Erlang and Li Silang really excited.

Perhaps Ji Qing's face couldn't help but get hot as he thought about the "forgetting the immortal" he made up casually. "My surname is Ji, which means Ji, and my name is taken from a sentence said by Saint Qiu in defending the virtues of jade: 'The sound of knocking is clearer and longer, and the sound is clearer in the end, which is joyful.' My name is Ji Qingyue, and in terms of my age, I , I think I should be about the same age as your eldest brother."

Ji Qingyue?

Li Erlang lowered his eyes and recited silently, while Li Silang opened his mouth: "Brother Ji!"

"Hey!" It feels so novel to have two more brothers all of a sudden.

"Brother Ji, do you already know that my father and mother named me Changgui?"

Ji Qingyue: "I know your name is Li Changgui and Erlang's name is Li Changxiang, right?"

Li Silang raised his hand and shouted softly: "Yes!"

In the darkness, Li Erlang rolled his eyes at his younger brother. You don't need your active help to tell me your name.

"So your eldest brother...?" Ji Qingyue could feel that there was a pattern in the names of their four brothers.

It was Li Erlang's turn to answer: "The eldest brother's name is Changji, and Sanlang's name is Changfu. Because Sanlang is studying, the master named Sanlang Shize."

Good luck, wealth, simple and simple wishes.

One night passed, and the next day was another sunny day. For Ji Qingyue, this was a new beginning.

After inspecting the vegetable plot, it was time to start his brick-making business. While the weather was still hot and while he was waiting for the bellows, he had dried thousands of mud bricks, and they were neatly stacked beside the brick kiln together with the firewood. .

Place the clay, cover it, light the fire, and pull the bellows.

It was not until evening that Ji Qingyue removed the fire from the brick kiln.

Let it dry overnight, and the next morning when the brick kiln sealing layer is touched, there will be only residual warmth that is not hot to the touch.

Ji Qingyue endured his excitement and opened the seal. Two of the six bricks on the top were still cracked. However, when he moved out the bricks layer by layer, he could no longer hold back his fists. The bricks underneath were all intact. !

Stretch out your fingertips and tap the brick surface. At the same time as the pain comes, there is a crisp sound. Regardless of whether the bricks are cracked or not, the crisp sound means that the soil has been burned into bricks!

Wuhu!

When he started firing the second kiln, Ji Qingyue pulled the bellows and became lost in thought. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of cracks appearing on the clay kiln, and flames were jumping out of the cracks!

The power of the bellows was too great, and the clay kiln was somewhat limited. In addition, the volume was not large enough, and the one-way fire opening was difficult to ventilate. The disadvantage was that he had to constantly pull the bellows to blow up the fire.

Looking at dozens of fired bricks and thousands of mud bricks, a new idea sprouted in Ji Qingyue's mind.

The new brick kiln was already taking shape in his mind.

When the second batch of bricks was fired, Ji Qing took out the bricks more and more, but the cracks on the clay kiln were increasing and it looked shaky.

Sixty-odd rough bricks were enough for him to build the bottom of a new brick kiln.

The bottom two floors of the new brick kiln are each built with nine bricks in the shape of "chuan", the third floor is built in the shape of "three", and the fourth, fifth and sixth floors are the same as the first, second and third floors, thus forming the foot of a double furnace. , Ji Qingyue counted, and found that exactly sixty-four bricks had been used so far, and the fired bricks were just enough.

Next, the upper kiln wall only needs to be built up with mud bricks. How high it needs to be depends on how high the fire can burn. It is enough to ensure that every piece of mud bricks can be burned red.

The firewood was pine wood, and he also had a bellows. The brick kiln could be built higher, so he built it all the way to his chest and abdomen, so that he could still take out the bricks from the bottom of the kiln while bending down with something on his back.

The new brick kiln was built quickly. Ji Qingyue estimated that the new kiln could accommodate 70 bricks at a time.

When more than a thousand bricks were burned, a month passed quietly without realizing it.

During this period, Ji Qingyue built another brick kiln to speed up the brick-burning process. More than 100 bricks were burned in two furnaces every day. While the bricks were being burned, new mud bricks were dried and half of the wooden bridge was reinforced. Finally, there was no need to worry about the bridge collapsing.

He sawed the wooden planks on the stream in the middle and added two new piers in the middle. Not only did he widen the bridge deck, he also added handrails. Half of the stable wooden bridge stood above the water.

For a month, there was still no rain or snow, only an increasingly biting cold.

The dry weather made Ji Qing more fortunate. For these more than a thousand bricks, he walked through the pine forest, picked up all the branches he could pick, and cut down several trees.

In the vegetable field, a crop of vegetables has been harvested. Perhaps due to the influence of low temperature, vegetables grow slower than when the temperature is high. It took almost five weeks for the vegetables to enter the maturity stage.

At this time, Ji Qingyue has become a vegetable tycoon, and the thatched cottage has become his warehouse, which is filled with more than a dozen kinds of vegetables, some of which have not had time to be processed, such as eggplant, white radish, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, cowpea, lettuce, etc. Broad beans, cucumbers, leeks...

Except for the seeds that need to be saved and those vegetables that are not easy to store after being picked, Ji Qingyue gave most of the other vegetables to Li Erlang, not only to express gratitude and share the joy of harvest, but also to... …

Since the harvest, Ji Qingyue has secretly delivered several kinds of vegetables to Li Erlang every night. After all, he still relies on Li Erlang to feed them. Enriching their dishes is to enrich his dinner dishes.

I don’t know how Li Erlang explained to his family that the dishes he sent gradually appeared in his dinner.

The Li family was confused when faced with the many fresh vegetables that appeared in the kitchen every morning. They asked Li Erlang, and Li Erlang did not hide or tell the whole story. He only said that they were given by others in return for the bellows.

From the initial panic, the Li family gradually accepted this phenomenon and finally became accustomed to it. It’s not that they don’t have vegetables at home, but they are all storable cabbage, which is Chinese cabbage. They are harvested in autumn and kept in the cellar after winter. There are only a few varieties. Even if they want to buy other vegetables, it is difficult in this remote place. Find such fresh and abundant vegetables.

Leeks, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, eggplant, sunflower, cowpea, lettuce, cucumber...

Regardless of whether these are seasonal vegetables or not, they cannot be grown in the winter in the Northwest!

One day, Li Aniang looked at the vegetables in the kitchen basket and turned to ask Li Erlang: "There is spinach today, why don't we make a meal of mutton cakes and a pot of fresh vegetable soup? You... go and ask next time, What else does he want to eat?”

Li Erlang was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, Li Aniang had already turned around and was busy cooking the mutton. She ignored him and naturally ignored his stunned look.

Over the past month or so, the wheat in the field has sprouted smoothly, with flat leaves and green seedlings.

The wheat seedlings showed differences between the two different planting methods. The soaked wheat entered the jointing stage earlier than the normally sown wheat, and grew greener and stronger.

Ji Qingyue only observed this based on his vague summer camp experience and asking Li Erlang. Different stages of wheat have their own characteristics.

According to Li Erlang's experience, wheat will start to ear after jointing, and then ear, and then it will bloom and bear fruit and grow wheat grains. Now the wheat in the vegetable field has jointed. According to the acceleration of the magical land, it will take more than a month to bear wheat. back.

It will be the Chinese New Year then, so he can catch a meal of dumplings.

Although Ji Qingyue was a little worried, he was not in a hurry. The magical land had given him too much and ensured that the wheat would grow smoothly. He was satisfied and let nature take its course from now on. What he was doing now was to accumulate experience.

Unlike wheat, rice and lotus root were completely silent. If the water in the paddy field dried up badly, Ji Qingyue would replenish it appropriately. With this care, these two crops still did not sprout.

Ji Qingyue was a little sad and could only wait until next spring when the flowers bloom. Now rice is still a little far away from him.

When the weather is hot, it takes about twenty days from sowing to harvesting of vegetables, which is three weeks. But when it is cold, the magical land still ensures that the seeds can germinate, but the harvest period is lengthened, roughly to five days. Week.

Every time he harvests, Ji Qingyue makes sure to save enough seeds for the next time or next time, and he always picks big and plump fruits to save seeds, striving to grow the best vegetables!

As for fruits, Ji Qingyue has cut out a large piece of wild grassland, dug up the soil, transplanted jujube trees and planted them on the top of the slope. The fruits of the trees are all planted on the slope facing away from the painting viewers, including bayberry, cherry, loquat and so on. Ji Qingyue planted all the lychees on the slope.

For grapes and melons grown on vines, the latter was planted at the junction of the hillside and the flat land. As for the former, Ji Qingyue hoped that he could be shaded under the vines in the future, so he planted the grapes in the open space near the new house and waited until the vines sprouted. It's still too late for him to put up another show, after all, most of these fruits have not sprouted yet.

Now it is late November, and the temperature often breaks below freezing and continues to fall. Building a house is imminent. He needs a greenhouse to ensure that he can survive the winter safely. It was only November now, and the temperature was already below freezing, and it would only get colder next time. However, even if he put on all his clothes and squatted by the campfire to keep warm, it didn't work.

But even though the temperature was below zero, Ji Qingyue found that the stream was still not frozen, which was another piece of good news.

Regarding the brick house, Ji Qingyue had made countless ideas during the month he was making bricks. He also learned from Li Erlang's folk experience and finally decided on the style of the first house.

In addition to bricks, cement is also needed when building a house. Modern cement is powerless, but there is an indigenous cement that you can try.

Low-profile cement made from plant ash.

During the brick-burning process and the bonfire that was kept burning would produce a lot of plant ashes, which he kept saving.

First, he picked out the unburned wood chips and stones from the plant ashes, stirred them thoroughly and soaked them, then poured out the water and discarded them. The settled ashes were squeezed out of the water, dried and put into the adobe kiln that he had eliminated. Burn until red, until thoroughly burned.

After burning red, immediately take out the plant ashes and throw them into the water. When hot and cold meet, they will make a sizzling sound. At the same time, the ashes will spread out and mix with water to form a paste. Add soil and mix to form cement.

However, this kind of cement must be used before it dries after being fired. Adding water or refiring after drying will not work.
