I farmed in ancient times

Jueming and Zhong Xin drove their horses to the ferry, put on their clothes, and there were people coming and going. When they saw someone coming with a horse, someone came to greet them immediately. They led the horse and put it in the barn. As long as they paid, they would be cleaned and supplied every day.

This ship is a passenger and cargo ship, mainly used for carrying people, and some living things can also be placed there. The ship has two layers of passenger cabins, and the cargo warehouse is below the deck, so Caesar cannot see it.

After paying the boat fare, Jueming took Zhong Xin to rest. The space on the boat was limited, and the living quarters were extremely small. Fortunately, there were windows in each room, and they could be opened to see the scenery outside in their free time.

Jueming pushed open the window and looked out. There was a constant flow of people carrying goods on the deck, standing alone on a huge wooden stake on the shore, urging people to hurry up.

On the shore, there are people who are crying because of parting, and those who are talking to each other. Farther away, there are white billows rising neatly, which are people who buy snacks.

The willow branches that have just sprouted tender buds caress the water surface gently, and suddenly, there is a person in scarlet clothes standing behind the tree.

Deciding to look again, the figure is no longer there.

At this time, the anchor was raised, and the passenger and cargo ship slowly left the ferry, and when it reached the open water, the sails were lowered and tied tightly, taking advantage of the spring breeze like an arrow, all the way south.

The oncoming wind was like a knife shaving his face, Caesar closed the window tightly, put away the salute, and rested.

This was his first time on a boat, and the hull shook slightly. Caesar sat on the edge of the bed, shaking dizzily, lying on the bed, shaking nauseously.

Helpless, Caesar had no choice but to go to Zhong Xin, trying to divert his attention by chatting, but unexpectedly Zhong Xin was retching with the barrel.

Taking advantage of the less nausea, Zhong Xin turned his head, "I'm dizzy...vomit..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jue Ming covered his mouth and left quickly, fearing that he would throw up if he looked at Zhong Xin for a while.

At first, the two hugged each other with headaches and vomited, but then they got used to shaking it.

After sitting on the boat for three days, Cassia has adapted to eating, sleeping, and solving physical problems by rocking.

The passenger and cargo ship passed through Yingtianfu to Haozhou, and then to Yangzhou. During the unloading period, Caesar took the opportunity to disembark and walk around. The accents of different places are very different, and the local dialects they speak are also different, which is also very different from the modern ones.

If you can travel to the Song Dynasty normally, you will still have the motivation to trace the source, and you can collect ancient sights and sounds.

It's a pity that there is no energy source, and now there is only a shell left, quietly floating in the blue bead.

The sun was just right outside, and Cassia opened up to breathe. He lay on the window and took out the blue beads from the neckline. He looked carefully at the sun.

Since traceability can be stuffed into the blue bead, can other things?Caesar took out a piece of gold and smashed it on the blue bead.

Lan Zhu remained motionless arrogantly.

Cassia changed a few things, but it still didn't work, and the blue bead only accommodated traceability.

In the evening, the passenger and cargo ship docked at Suqian Wharf, and the cargo ship began to unload again. At the same time, many people arrived at their destination and disembarked.

The boat will be docked until tomorrow morning. This is a good opportunity to improve the food. Jueming took the package and got off the boat with Zhong Xin. After leaving the dock, he walked through the warehouse, and the food stall soon appeared in sight.

There are many handymen who have unloaded their goods and their stomachs are empty, so they choose to make a few bites here. These snacks are of various types, large in quantity and low in price. After a hard day, they all choose to have a warm meal here.

In the middle of the two noodle stalls, there was one that sold lo mei, which was particularly good. Before approaching, one could smell a tantalizing scent. Jue Ming walked over quickly, and one hand was already touching his purse.

Standing in line, when it was his turn, Jueming bought two braised pig's trotters. The pig's trotters were picked up from the pot, showing a color of agate, and the pig's skin was crystal clear.

The pig's trotters were marinated at noon, and the thick marinade was directly on the top of the pig's trotters. Cassia Ming and Zhong Xin each wrapped one in oil paper and gnawed it. It was fragrant but not greasy, with a moderate salty sweetness.

After eating a pig's trotter, Caesar still wanted to eat it, but thinking that there was still something delicious ahead, he held back and walked on.

Going forward is a street, because there are many boats docking, and there are many people disembarking to eat, the place is gradually prosperous, Jue Ming looks at the street corner, and picks the restaurant with the most families to enter.

This store is not big, there is no place for people to eat, and it only sells one kind of food - salted duck.

The closer the place is to Yingtianfu, the more ways to eat ducks. It stands to reason that they should be eaten in Yingtianfu, because there is a saying in later generations - no duck can leave Nanjing alive.

However, the salted duck in Suqian also has the characteristics of Suqian.

Zhong Xin went to line up to buy ducks, while Jueming watched with gusto.

The salted duck has already been marinated. Every time a customer comes to buy it, the chef in the store will take one from the hook, stuff some green onion, ginger and star anise into the duck belly, and cook it directly in the pot.

The salted duck is still light yellow after being cooked. Take it out of the pot with a large colander. The aroma is accompanied by the steam.

Putting it on the chopping board, the chef raised the knife and cut the boiled salted duck into pieces with a few strokes.

After Zhong Xin bought it, Jue Ming squeezed out a piece regardless of the appearance. The duck skin was white and crisp, the duck meat was red and tender, the skin was full of salty taste, the meat was fresh and fragrant, and the salty taste penetrated into the bone marrow, very authentic.

With the salted duck, Caesar could smell the duck blood vermicelli soup again.

Glancing at Zhong Xin, Jue Ming asked, "Do you eat fans?"

Zhong Xin: "I don't choose."

Sitting in the shop with Zhong Xin, Jueming ordered two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup, two scones, and waited while eating the salted duck.

The soup base of duck blood vermicelli soup is white and clear. Caesar picks up a column of rice noodles with chopsticks and puts it in his mouth. The vermicelli are crispy and smooth, which is rice noodles.

There was still duck blood floating in the soup, Caesar ate and thought: Sure enough, it was the right choice!

When the two went back after eating, it was already dark, and the cargo on the ship was almost unloaded. The handymen disembarked to eat and rest.

Rubbing his stomach, Cassia strolled by the river.On the left are weeping willows, and on the right are rows of warehouses. When he walked to a place where no one was around, Caesar stopped.

"You wait for me here for a while." Jue Ming said.

Zhong Xin clapped his hands and said yes, and wanted to help Jue Ming carry the small package, but Jue Ming waved his hand and refused, "I'll be back in a while, and I'll call you if I have something to do."

Since Cassia Ming said, Zhong Xin just stayed where he was, watching the flowing water and waiting for Cassia Ming.

And Caesar went around to the back of the warehouse and waited quietly. There was no one around, and there was no sound here.

He has a guess and needs to experiment to know the result.

Cassia took out the blue bead and released the source tracing in the blue bead.

The metal ball lay quietly on the grass behind the warehouse, and the huge machine gleamed coldly under the moonlight.

Caesar touched the traceable source, manually opened the hatch, then opened the package, took out the heavy gold and put it in, and put some important things in the traceable source.

After finishing all this, Caesar left the source-tracing cabin and closed the door tightly.Hold the blue bead and aim at the source.

Tracing the source smoothly into the blue bead, it turned into a grain of metal dust in the blue bead.

-Success!

Jueming heaved a sigh of relief, with the blue beads, he didn't have to run around with the gold, God knows if he would encounter thieves and robbers.

Jueming put the rest of the things in a small parcel and tied it up, carrying it to find Zhong Xin.

Taking passengers and goods all the way to Yangzhou, after staying in Yangzhou for a while, Cassia took Texue along Liangzhe Road to Huzhou.

Then I walked from Hangzhou to the coastal cities. The seafood in Fujian is delicious. Throughout the summer, Caesar stayed in Fujian and ate all kinds of fish. He thought in his heart that there were blue pearls anyway, so he was not afraid to go into the water. Cassia followed the pearl hunters into the water. Pearling.

In the evening, Jueming sat on the swaying fishing boat, leaning against the swaying fish lamp, took out letter paper and regular script pen, and wrote letters home with the ink in the porcelain bottle.

Grasping the tail of summer, Cassia went to Guangdong and Guangxi again, where he ate ripe tropical fruits.

Cassia stayed there for the whole winter, and by the way, he also tested whether litchis could be produced in the south.

The results were naturally gratifying, and Jue Ming discovered that despite the blue bead as a cheat against the sky, the external growth environment is still very important to the crop itself.

Spring came again, and Caesar took the boat to Yazhou (Hainan) Island.

There, after five months of searching, Cassia finally found a stalk of wild rye.

Living on the island, Cassia used rye to reproduce the hybrid wheat in the future market, and the output directly doubled.

"Shouldn't it be time to go back?" Jueming muttered, "How long has it been since you went home?"

Zhong Xin hurriedly put down the watermelon, and said excitedly, "You have been away for more than a year and five months."

Hurrying back now, and still in time for the New Year, Jueming put away the wheat grains on the ground, "Then pack it up, let's set off tomorrow, along the way we came."

Zhong Xin didn't bother to chew on the watermelon anymore, cheered, jumped three feet high on the waves, and rushed to the thatched hut by the sea to pack his bags.

He never wants to eat fish again!

At that time, Hainan was still very backward, and it was not at all as beautiful as the tourist cities of later generations.

Zhong Xin clearly remembered that the officials were very concerned about his seeds, but he didn't expect that when he left, he only brought a few boxes of watermelons besides clothes and money.

The watermelons were grown from the seeds he brought, and he also taught the residents on the island to grow watermelons for sale.

After being away from home for so long, Jueming felt like returning home. After sending a letter home, he took a boat along the seashore to Hangzhou.

Jiang Jinnian is in Hangzhou.

He brought the watermelon seeds to Bianjing and handed them over to Jue Ming, who had also promised him that he would have a look at the seeds when they were planted.

Hangzhou is as prosperous as Bianjing, Jue Ming found Jiang Jinnian's residence according to the address on the letter, and softly knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

"Who is it?" A question came from the door, and Jueming answered loudly, "I'm Cen Jueming, and I came here to visit Jiang Guanren."

The door was opened, and Jue Ming entered with a watermelon in his arms. Jiang Jinnian was sitting in the yard basking in the sun just like when they first met.

Jiang Jinnian's eyes lit up when he saw the watermelon with green background and black stripes in Cassia Ming's hand.

"watermelon!"
