"Why are you so early today, you didn't wait for me!"

Ji Kui complained and followed from behind, saw Ji Sang, smiled, avoided the address, Ji Sang didn't care, returned a smile, turned sideways to let Ji Kui pass him and run to the front, side by side with Ji Mo.

"Ah, I forgot, it's rare to get up early!"

Ji Mo spoke insincerely, and called Ji Sang "Master" again, and asked him to see the fruits of his labor, and when he waved his small arms to cover that small area, it kind of meant "look at the land I have laid down". , waiting for the review with a straight chest.

Dongwancai is a relatively common medicinal herb. In this field, you can see more or less one or two plants. The distinctive leaves are like small palms sticking out, one by one. It still looks really good.

This is a situation that can be seen at a glance. Ji Sang walked up and squatted down, looked at the color of the land, squeezed the tiny particles, carefully observed the color and state of the rhizome of Dongwancai, and opened the The back of the leaf looked at the tiny bug lying on it... After a careful but mysterious inspection, he nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad."

Ji Kui was a little restless. He watched Ji Sang complete a complete set, and followed his example to flip through the Dong Wancai. His movements were not so delicate and gentle, especially when turning the leaves to check the roots. It seems to be a weeping willow upside down.

Ji Mo on the side also followed Ji Sang's example and looked through it, and asked: "Master, do you want to catch these bugs..."

He almost swallowed his tongue when he asked this question, the worm is too small, the small black one looks like a little worm that likes to hide in the flower stamen, it can't fly without wings, and it crawls slowly, revealing Slow, but if you catch them one by one... look at your fingers, okay, you have to use your nails to pinch them off.

"Don't be so troublesome."

Ji Sang's words made Ji Mo obviously heave a sigh of relief, and then he continued, "Some bugs are more effective when they are accompanied by herbs, and some herbs will not grow well without the companion bugs, not all of them Bugs are harmful...”

Hearing these words, Ji Mo nodded silently. The relationship of companionship is not difficult to understand. There is a certain relationship of companionship in the living environment of animals and plants, just like the grass at the bottom of the food chain, which seems to be herbivorous The food in the mouth of animals belongs to the bottom one, but there are also plants such as pitcher plants and piranhas that feed on small insects, and will absorb the nutrients of their death to nourish their own carnivorous plants.

There are even some that are in a companion relationship. The insects rely on the mucus secreted by the plants to hunt, and the plants rely on the excretion of nutrients by the insects. If the two are really separated, they may not be able to live better.

"...Some bugs have medicinal uses." When Ji Sang concluded with these words, Ji Mo thought of Cordyceps sinensis, wondering if this could be considered a medicinal bug.

But Ji Sang didn't mean this kind of thing. He didn't plan to say it specifically, but Ji Kui asked: "What kind of bug can be used for medicine!"

He really aimed at pharmacists, so he cared a little bit about this aspect.

Ji Sang mentioned several kinds, including ground soft-shelled turtles, centipedes, tussah silkworms, and cicada sloughs. Among them, the most surprising thing is a kind of insect called aphid.

That is accompanied by the herbs, and the aphids growing on the herbs will form spots like spots, or raised red sarcoids on the leaves.On different medicinal herbs, its appearance is also different, and its effects are also different.

In this regard, Yaowanggu has made several classifications of aphids, all of which are classified according to the different herbs they grow. As for whether it is really the category that aphids should have, whether it is a scientific classification, or These aphids that grow on different herbs with different appearances are all one kind, so it is difficult to judge.

Ji Mo has never seen it before, and he doesn't know what modern people think of it. Anyway, to him, it sounds like a heavenly book, with a bit of fantasy.

Tangerine grows in Huaibei to become trifoliate orange, so orange and trifoliate are not a kind of medicine anymore?

"This is really interesting. Is there any other fun medicine?"

Ji Kui asked again.

This time, Ji Sang just smiled and didn't answer. He may or may not know, but he doesn't want to pay more attention to this aspect.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to answer, Ji Kui curled his lips a little bored, and asked again: "Why does Xiao Wu call you 'Master', and you want to take him as a disciple? Does father know?"

Ji Mo felt that this was an inconsistency, and he was a little anxious. He was afraid that this "completed" would change his status, so he hurriedly said: "I definitely want to learn from a teacher. If I learn from a teacher, I will be true.

After pulling out a classification of "True Biography" and "Side Door", Ji Mo wanted to give himself a few more mouths. What a good reason for this!

He didn't know what to say, where did he hear such words, and how to explain the specific meaning, but fortunately, Ji Kui didn't ask any further, and sneered: "Okay, okay, you always make sense, you two Guys, I don't care about you."

With that said, he shook his head and went straight to his own field.

Watering and fertilizing, all the things that should be done every day can't be saved, they are small and weak, at least Ji Mo divides the land into several small pieces, watering one piece today, and watering the other tomorrow A piece of water, if there is a hard-working neighbor next to him, if the other party waters diligently, that small piece of water can also be saved.

Ji Mo took Ji Sang to the thatched shed, and showed him the watering artifact he had made. Ji Sang frowned slightly: "You can't be opportunistic in your work."

Very good, this is so right... Ji Mo really couldn't nod his head in agreement, "With such a tool, wouldn't it be possible to water quickly and well? Isn't watering controlled by the amount of water and the degree of dryness? The same is true. Watering, if you can water faster and better with this, why not?"

He is justifying himself, this is not opportunism, this is the essence that distinguishes humans from animals, making tools, using tools, and using tools to better serve their own purposes.

Ji Sang patted his head, as if to appease the fur-throated animal. Ji Mo quickly came to his senses, knowing that he had overreacted, and he needed to defend himself, but he had to first understand the source of the other party's disapproval. where.

"Every herb is different. They are planted together and taken care of together. Their germination sequence is also different. It seems that the same water is poured, some grow better, and some can't stretch their leaves. What do you think? reason?"

Ji Sang asked patiently.

"Is it sick?" Ji Mo knows that plants are sick. He has also seen greening and infusion of medicine to trees, but he doesn't understand the specifics of what kind of disease it is and what it looks like. .

This answer was concise and general enough. Ji Sang didn't seem to expect his answer to be so concise and to the point. He choked on what he had prepared before and couldn't say it. Just like people, medicinal herbs are also subject to illness, the reasons for their illness are different, and the states they manifest are different. To make them live better, we need to be more careful."

While talking, Ji Sang shook his head slightly when he saw Ji Kui's wide open and close watering method: "We are medicine planters, not farmers, and what we are after is not the final result. In the process of planting, the herbs can accumulate These are the daily light and water, no more, no less."

The idea belonging to Ji Sang was vaguely involved in the words, and Ji Mo understood that this is the intensive cultivation of intensive cultivation. It seems that Ji Sang is suitable for fine cultivation. If it is used for high-value medicinal herbs, it is still very suitable, but for This kind of medicinal herb grows in a large area, so carefully treated one by one, how many can be taken care of in a day?

If it cannot be cultivated on a large scale, wouldn't it be a loss of the original intention of the medicine planter?

What is medicinal planting, isn't it just the hope that medicinal herbs can be cultivated in pieces like grain, so that medicinal herbs can be supplied in batches?

Among them, there seems to be some contradictions!

Seemingly seeing that Ji Mo was puzzled, Ji Sang said: "You have just started to learn now. Now that you have learned, you must learn to understand what a kind of medicinal herb is, not by its value, but by its state. These cheap herbs in your eyes can save people and cure diseases."

This seems to be an alternative concept of equality. The price of medicinal materials is divided by people, and the basis for the division is not only the rarest, but also the efficacy of the medicine. Among the same or similar medicines, It's not necessarily that the more expensive ones are better at curing diseases, but that the cheaper ones are less effective and you need to eat more.

These people, they have been exposed to these things since they were young, and naturally they have also come into contact with the views of adults early on. They first classify medicinal herbs into high and low in their hearts, and then look at these medicinal herbs. Thinking about the value of such a poor, it seems that there is no need to spend more energy. .

If the attitude is not correct, if you encounter precious medicinal materials in the future, can you really pay attention to it?I'm afraid it's more superficial.

When you see a field of herbs, you think about how much money they are equivalent to. This is the value of an adult, not the value of a medicine planter.

"Well, who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work. The emphasis on the mouth still needs to be turned into reality."

Ji Mo thought about it secretly. There might indeed be something wrong with his attitude. He looked too much at Qian. Uh, maybe it was because everyone knew that farming was hard work, and subconsciously he didn't want to suffer, so he had some imperceptible resistance. The medicinal herbs that have been painstakingly planted in these fields are like looking at weeds, and they don't feel valuable.

At this point, Ji Mo felt that he was different, because he didn't know the specific value of these herbs at all!

In a way, it's innocent.

Ji Sang has already gone to water, holding a bucket in one hand and a ladle in the other. It is really watering the plants one by one, but the speed is not slow. Obviously, he has carefully observed the state of these herbs. After that, the place where he watered was the area that Ji Mo didn't water yesterday. Before he could say it, Ji Sang had already seen it. This kind of observation is too keen!

Thinking, Ji Mo grabbed a small water ladle and followed.
