I farmed in ancient times

Ye Lang starred, washed the bowls and boiled hot water, and waited for the big and small to wash and go to bed. Finally, Caesar was able to catch his breath and stood in the courtyard to take a bath with a ladle mixed with water.

There was a rustling sound from the persimmon tree.

Jueming tied his half-dressed shirt around his waist, calmly picked up the bow hanging on the wall, and took out an arrow to pinch off the arrow.

"Jinshan." Li Xiurong had just exposed his head on the wall, and a black shadow swooped over and hit Li Xiurong's forehead, "Ah——"

There was a plop, and there was a muffled sound from the opposite side, and the lights in the west wing were turned on immediately.

Jueming put down his bow, lifted the water to the door, and quickly took a battle bath with the East Court on his back.

Early the next morning, when Li Xiurong came to have lunch, Cen Daonian asked in surprise, "Little yamen, what's the matter with your head?"

Li Xiurong covered his bruised forehead, and gave the kitchen a hard look, "Accidentally, I was slapped by a wild cat."

The wild cat put the breakfast on the table, "Yesterday you didn't do the dishes, I'll write it down."

Li Xiurong lifted his robe and sat down, "Master never washes the dishes!"

Jueming raised the bowl on the table, and Li Xiurong ran after the bowl with both hands, shouting loudly: "I'll wash it! I'll wash it!"

This time, with Cassia Ming staring at him, Li Xiurong finished his meal, collected all the bowls, and walked to the bucket.

Father Cen: "Forget it——Jiaming, whoever comes is a guest."

Li Xiurong raised his eyebrows.

Cassia turned his head, "How about you brush?"

Father Cen shut his mouth, and only glanced lovingly at Li Xiurong in front of the tub.

Li Xiurong had no choice but to slowly put the bowl in the water, rubbed it with two fingers a few times, raised his hand to shake the water, the bowl fell to the ground in an arc, and fell to pieces in an instant.

Li Xiurong: "..."

"Get up and drive." Jueming said, "Watch it!"

Li Xiurong watched with interest as Cassia demonstrated how to clean the dishes, how to clean them, and where to put them.

After finishing everything, Jueming suddenly realized that he seemed to have finished washing the dishes.

"You go." Jueming was very tired.

"When Wu Yuan recovers, I'll let him do the brushing!" After saying that, Li Xiurong briskly left.

It's worth breaking a bowl and changing it without washing the bowl!

After breakfast, Cen Daonian and Cen Chaoan went to the school as usual, and seeing them off, Jue Ming closed the door behind them.

His arm was injured, so it was okay to draw the bow and hit Li Xiurong at close range, but he couldn't run up the mountain anymore.

In the room, Caesar took off his shirt and was about to check how his arm was doing, when he suddenly heard two knocks from the courtyard door.

"Golden Mountain!" Li Xiurong shouted, "Golden Mountain?"

Cassia Ming's head was full of black lines, and he opened the door of the east chamber, "What are you doing?"

Holding a bottle of medicine, Li Xiurong curled his lips, "Master, you still have two holes in your arm, so you came here to deliver the medicine, don't forget it!"

Jueming stood at the door, watching Li Xiurong lift his legs and walk out of the courtyard.

After taking two steps, Li Xiurong realized that Jue Ming really didn't stop him, so he turned his head and asked, "You really don't want it?"

Cassia didn't say a word.

"No money." Li Xiurong held the medicine in his hand and said, "It's all good medicine."

"Cen Jueming." Shi Xiaohua came over with a small basket, cast a strange glance at Li Xiurong, turned around and said, "My father asked me to bring you some wound medicine."

"Sister Xiaohua." Jue Ming clutched his arm, "It's just a small injury."

"My father said, you are his half-disciple, so naturally you should be more careful." As she said that, Shi Xiaohua took out a pack of medicinal powder from the small basket and put it on the well cover of East Kitchen. Going home to work, bye."

Shi Xiaohua came and left quickly, and before Caesar had time to thank her, she was already gone.

"If you take one person, you will take it. If you take two people, you will take it. I'll leave it here too. Goodbye." Li Xiurong put a handful of medicine on the side of the well, and slipped away.

Wasn't it a bit too much to shoot Li Xiurong with an arrow last night?

Jueming picked up the medicine on the manhole cover. Uncle Shi has been a hunter for many years, so he must know which medicine is more suitable to use, but the medicine the county magistrate found for Li Xiurong is definitely not an ordinary medicine.

Jueming picked up Uncle Shi's medicine powder, put all Li Xiurong's medicine together, put it on the side of the big table under the window in the east chamber, sat in the room and applied the medicine to his arm.

Since he couldn't hunt, Cen Jueming didn't want to be idle, so he walked around the courtyard with the beads.

The vegetables in the backyard haven't been watered for two days, and Father Cen is busy teaching and doesn't care about farming, so he never takes much care of the backyard.

Cassia held the beads and stood still in front of the lettuce.

At this moment, the lettuce has only grown four leaves, which is too early to be edible.

"Water." Cassia squeezed the beads.

The beads did not respond.

Cassia squeezed again, but there was no response, and it was completely different from the pearls that splashed water all over the lake.

"I heard." Jueming said, "If you hit an object with a hammer, it can be smashed in one stroke."

"Whether it's jade or beads."

The beads suddenly began to cool down.Jue Ming continued: "If it's a useful bead, I won't smash it."

After Jueming finished speaking, he looked at a row of tender green lettuce seedlings on the ground, "This field hasn't been watered for two days."

The bead slowly floated up, touched the ground, and spit out a column of water.

"This is a good bead." Jueming didn't feel how stupid it was to threaten a bead, and continued to bribe without blushing and heartbeat: "When you finish watering the ground, I will take you to drink water."

As soon as they heard that there was water to drink, the beads poured more water into the ground, like opening a gate, hoarding hoarding and pouring water into the ground.

Cassia blinked, looking at the lettuce in the field in disbelief.

The lettuce still had four leaves just now, how come there are two more leaves in the blink of an eye?

Look at the shallots planted on the side. They were just unearthed yesterday, but now they are about an inch tall?

How is this going?

Caesar looked at the garden full of vegetables, looking like they were growing crazily.

There are more and more leaves of lettuce, and the leaves are getting bigger and bigger, and finally grow to the peak, no longer grow, and the emerald green land is embedded on the ground, like a green jade belt.

After pouring the beads, they returned to the palm of Cassia Ming.

"You did it?" Caesar stared at the pearl in his palm.

Beads are unresponsive.Caesar asked again: "Can you make plants grow quickly?"

Naturally, Lanzhu would not respond, and Juming blinked, went back to the house and squeezed a rapeseed, put it on the vegetable patch, "Water it."

The beads floated over and watered the rapeseed.

The rapeseed quickly broke out of its shell, and the small green buds grew up against the water column, becoming bigger and bigger. Soon, the vines spread, and the palm-sized emerald green leaves stretched out, with a few small flowers dotted in the middle of the leaves.

"Okay, okay." Jue Ming hurriedly put away the beads, if a cucumber really grows, Jue Ming can't explain to Cen Daonian why there are melons in March.

Knowing the function of the small beads, Cassia was a little confused.

Is it possible to grow vegetables and land with small beads in the future, and then exchange them for copper coins, become a local tyrant, marry an ancient girl, and reach the pinnacle of life?

No.

No one in the Cen family knows how to farm. Even if they are studying with the villagers of Damo Village, they can't grow so well overnight. Besides, Father Cen just opened up a field behind the yard to grow vegetables. How could there be an endless supply of vegetables? come out?

It is even more impossible to buy a large amount of land-grown vegetables. There is not so much money, and there is no need for that.

Then this bead can only grow and eat by myself?

Cassia rubbed the beads, at least for now he couldn't use the beads for profit.

Furthermore, it is difficult to say how much water the beads can spit out to make the plants grow rapidly.

Suddenly, Jue Ming thought that many crops in ancient times were not as delicious as modern ones.

For example, modern watermelons are delicious, with large flesh and sweet and delicious juice. It is said that they were produced through many generations of hybridization.

As for hybridization, Caesar Ming knows a little bit, and high school biology class is not in vain. If you want to improve the breed, the most direct way is to make hybridization, and the most difficult method is to change the gene.

Under the current conditions, it is still possible to do a little hybridization.

Jue Ming glanced at the ground, the ancient lettuce tasted a bit bitter, and Cen Chaoan didn't like it very much, why not use the lettuce as the first experiment.

Picking a few lettuces that were growing well, Caesar squeezed the beads to make them spit out the water. The water column fell into the soil and was quickly absorbed by the lettuce, not a single drop wasted.

The lettuce grows at a speed visible to the naked eye until the flower buds are half open.

Cen Jueming stopped and pulled the little yellow flower with his hands, the pollen had not yet grown inside.

So he found a piece of bamboo and cut off a piece of bamboo, which was less than one finger wide, thinned at both ends, baked in the middle, and bent into a clip shape.

After doing it three times, Caesar managed to make an unbroken bamboo clip. Pick off a leaf from each lettuce, blanch it with water, and taste it.

Cassia used bamboo clips to pinch off the slightly bitter lettuce stamens and continued watering.

The golden crow gradually moved towards the dome, and when the temperature reached, pollen was produced. Jueming went to the room and took a piece of paper for Cen Chaoan to practice calligraphy, cut it into small squares, carefully collected the pollen, and carefully poured it on the flowers whose stamens had been picked.

After finishing all this, after waiting for a while, Caesar took out the beads and continued to water them.

The lettuce continues to grow, gradually growing to a peak, and the flowers wither, leaving behind seeds.

Cassia collected the seeds, pulled out the elder's lettuce, and planted it again.

The taste of this crop of lettuce was the same as before, and Caesar was not discouraged, squatting on the edge of the vegetable field and tossing back and forth four times, finally got a lettuce that did not taste bitter.

"

"Is this a success?" Jue Ming picked a few seeds of this not-bitter lettuce and planted them in the ground, and the lettuce was still not bitter.

"Successful!" Juming stood up abruptly, feeling dizzy and black-eyed for a while, having squatted on the ground for too long.

After a while, Xu Jueming ran home holding the lettuce.

It was already noon, and Cen Daonian and Cen Chaoan were about to come back for lunch.

Cassia first washes and boils the rice, washes the fresh lettuce, picks it into slices without cutting, and pats some garlic.

When the big pot of oil is hot, put the garlic in the pot and fry until fragrant, then put the lettuce in the pot and stir fry quickly.The firewood fire pot is very high, and the lettuce can be out of the pot after a few stir-fries.

After frying the lettuce, wash the pot and fry a hard vegetable. When the rice is almost cooked, Caesar scoops out the rice soup, and slowly dries the remaining rice in a small pot with low heat.

"elder brother--"

Cen Daonian's waxy voice came from the courtyard, Caesar wiped his hands, went to hug Chao'an, "Go wash your claws."

Cen Chaoan nodded, and ran to the well. Cen's father had already filled the water and put it in the basin. Cen Chaoan washed his hands and sensiblely moved the small chair out.

Two dishes were brought to the table, and soon, the aroma of food was smelled over there, and after turning around, Li Xiurong was already standing in front of the door.

"There's lettuce." Li Xiurong's expression was disgusted.

"Lettuce is bitter, and Chaoan doesn't want to eat it." Cen Chaoan flattened his mouth, Li Xiurong pulled Chaoan, and the two hid behind the kitchen window, chattering without knowing what they were talking about.

"It's time to eat." Jue Ming brought out the rice, Cen Daonian moved out the table, and a circle of people sat around.

Jueming sent the pre-packaged meal to Wu Yuan.

Cen Chaoan and Li Xiurong tacitly ignored the garlic lettuce, and quickly picked up another plate of vegetables with two pairs of chopsticks.

Cen Daonian didn't give Cen Chaoan a chance to be picky, picked up a chopstick of lettuce, and gently put it down on Cen Chaoan's bowl, "Eat more vegetables to grow taller."

Cen Chaoan pouted, "Lettuce is bitter."

Jue Ming advises: "Eat to grow taller, Goudan and the others won't bully you."

Reluctantly, Cen Chaoan took a bite out of the lettuce with his chopsticks, huh?Why is the lettuce so sweet today?Not bitter anymore?

Cen Chaoan looked at his brother, who smiled at himself.

——It must be that my brother is afraid that he will eat bitter lettuce, so he specially fried lettuce that is not bitter.

"You eat it too, lettuce is not bitter." Cen Chaoan said to Li Xiurong who was on the side, Li Xiurong was extremely disgusted, "Don't eat it, eat it, eat it, I'm already tall enough."

"Today's lettuce is so spicy and delicious." Cen Chaoan muttered, "It's a pity if you don't eat it."

Suspicious, Li Xiurong glanced at Jue Ming, who had a smirk on his face, he must have no good intentions, maybe he was fooling himself together with Cen Chaoan!

After making up his mind not to eat it, Li Xiurong really didn't touch a piece of lettuce.

After eating, Cassia went to the main room.

Under the window, Father Cen was sitting at a newly bought yellow wooden table, grinding ink.

"I want an unwritten booklet for memorizing things." Caesar said generously.

"Oh?" Cen Daonian got up, took out a book bound with white thread from a stack of books, and handed it to Caesar, "Are you really not going to school?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to learn." Jueming waved his hands, "Besides, we have to cook and water the ground at home."

Cassia: "I'll learn when I'm free."

Father Cen sighed inaudibly.It is not so easy to be free, unless there is a mistress at home.

This is absolutely impossible, they will never have a stepmother.

Father Cen patted his eldest son's head, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Jue Ming raised his head and smiled at Father Cen, "I like this kind of life very much. I go up to the mountains to hunt every day, and go down to the fields to grow vegetables. It's carefree."

There is no cumbersome data to deal with here, and there is no need to worry about whether the three meals are on time. The only thing to worry about is where to trace the source and what to eat today.

This kind of life is the most ideal pastoral life for human beings thousands of years later.

Jueming took the booklet, went back to the room and used the smallest brush to write "Hybridization Experiment Record" on the cover of the booklet.

Cassia recorded the hybridization of lettuce today, especially marking the self-pollinating plants and the number of hybridizations.

If the descendants of this non-bitter lettuce show signs of decline, record it.

Wrapped the seeds, Cassia touched his chin, what should we plant for the next hybridization experiment?

Watermelons have not yet been introduced to the Song Dynasty, and there are only a few kinds of seasonal vegetables this season.

However, before Cassia could decide what to plant, the weather in the Song Dynasty began to get weird.
