The life of farming in ancient times with a system

Jiang Daizhen thought that Lin Shen stopped him because he had something precious to give him.With a faint smile on his face, he looked at him expectantly.

In the end, Lin Shen asked about flower seeds.

The expression on Jiang Daizhen's face froze, and he said angrily, "I forgot."

These days, he's busy with his bike.

After the bicycle appeared, Jiang Qingsong was very interested in this thing, and went up to try riding it himself.Like most of them, Jiang Qingsong found it difficult to learn at the beginning. With the support of his servants, he rode around the yard and stopped letting the servants support the bicycle.

Jiang Daizhen explained the main points to him. Jiang Qingsong took advantage of his long legs. Whenever the bicycle tilted to one side, he stretched out his legs to support him. He never fell down.Others have to learn for several days, but Jiang Qingsong learned it in one day.

Jiang Ruonian has long been eager to try, and also clamored to learn how to ride a bicycle.Jiang Daizhen worked tirelessly and accompanied Jiang Ruonian to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Jiang Qingsong found it easy to learn to ride a bicycle, so Jiang Qingsong made up his mind to come to Lin Shen.

Naturally, Jiang Daizhen put the matter of Huazhong behind him.After Lin Shen's reminder, he finally thought about it.

Lin Shen comforted him: "It's okay, just let someone bring it over next time. If you're not free, I'll think of another way."

Jiang Dai was really afraid that if he went to someone else, would someone else be more useful than him?

"I'm free, I'll definitely bring you flower seeds next time I come over."

Jiang Qingsong couldn't take it anymore, coughed and called out, "Really, we should go."

"I'm leaving, you are not allowed to find others, do you hear me?" Jiang Dai gave him a fierce look, and when he saw him nodding in agreement, he turned and got into the carriage.

The carriage wobbled away.

Jiang Qingsong looked at Jiang Daizhen's face, and asked softly, "What does he want to grow?"

"He wants to plant flowers and fill the yard with flowers." Jiang Daizhen said with a smile.

Jiang Qingsong frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Did I smile?" Jiang Daizhen touched the corner of his mouth, and the smile on his face faded.

"You are really..." Jiang Qingsong nodded him twice, then turned his head away angrily and stopped talking.

"Father, why are you so angry?" Jiang Daizhen leaned over and said softly, holding his arm.

Seeing such a charming girl, Jiang Qingsong couldn't vent his anger, so he asked calmly, "You come here every day when you go out?"

"I don't go out every day." Jiang Daizhen moved his body, a strand of hair stuck to his cheek, matching his expression, he looked extremely innocent.Looking over with black grape-like eyes, people can see into the innermost part at a glance, and said with a smile: "I haven't gone out for the past few days, and stay at home with Ah Mo and Big Brother obediently."

"I can't help you, dad. Seeing your elder brother like this, I don't want you to marry. Our family has already earned enough money. I can't spend much with you. Even if you don't get married , staying at home every day has money to spend.” Jiang Qingsong looked complicated.

"My elder brother is much stronger than you imagined. He didn't wash his face with tears and lived happily every day. Qin Huaiye still wants to get back together with him, but he doesn't care anymore. He didn't like Qin Huaiye at all..." Consciousness When he slipped his tongue, Jiang Daizhen's voice became smaller and smaller.

Jiang Qingsong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "He doesn't like Qin Huaiye, so why did he nod in agreement when I asked your aunt if he would like to marry Qin Huaiye?"

"Brother told you that everyone around is urging him, and he also feels that it's time for him to get married, and the Qin family is in the limelight. The Jiang family is eager to cooperate with the Qin family, so he nodded and agreed to marry into the Qin family." Jiang Daizhen said.

"Your elder brother is just too thoughtful. He thinks too deeply and too far. No matter how important business is, it is not as important as family. If he doesn't want to marry, just tell me straight up. I will not force him." Jiang Qingsong said .

Jiang Daizhen smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.It’s fine to just listen to some words, don’t take it to your heart, thinking that you are very important in your father’s heart, but that’s actually what happened.What outsiders see is always the surface, and only the wearer knows whether the shoes fit or not.The scenery is for others to see, and only the people in the depths know it.

By saying these words, Jiang Daizhen was telling Jiang Qingsong that he could bring down the Qin family without fear, because Jiang Ruonian didn't care.

Jiang Qingsong relaxed a lot, patted Jiang Daizhen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Among so many children, you are the one Dad likes the most. You must not let Dad down."

Jiang Daizhen nodded: "I know what I want, please rest assured."

Jiang Qingsong showed a loving smile.

Lin Shen was working under the scorching sun shirtless, and he wanted to raise the bamboo tube a little higher.The old carpenter made something that looked like a modern pressurized well. Water would flow underneath it without manual labor. The bottom was a groove cut out of a stone.The useless water goes around the yard through the water channel and then flows out to the nearby woods. Anyway, the water cannot be wasted.

Liu Yan and a few children ran over and lay on the fence to watch him work.

Recently, these brats have been running here every day, watching Lin Shen at work, and at the same time chatting with Lin Shen casually.

"You lied, my grandma said that flowers cannot be eaten."

"I said the same thing."

Lin Shen straightened his waist, his bare upper body was sweating profusely, and his tense muscles glistened in the sun.Panting while leaning on a shovel, he interrupted the children's accusations with a smile: "Acacia flowers can be eaten."

"How do you eat acacia flowers?" Liu Yan said with an unconvinced face.

"Didn't I tell you? Pour the batter on it, put it on the pot and steam it, and then add some seasoning, it will taste sweet and fragrant in your mouth." Lin Shen said.

"Wow."

A few brats were so greedy that they salivated and said, "You know a lot."

Liu Yan curled her lips: "What's the use of knowing more? You stay at home every day and you don't have land to plant. In winter, you'll just wait to starve to death."

The tone of an adult, presumably heard it from the mouths of family members, and parroted it out.

"Why don't you have land?" someone asked.

Lin Shen said bluntly, "There is no money."

"You are so pitiful." The little boy looked at him with pity, as if he had seen Lin Shen freeze to death in the snow-covered mountains.

Lin Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the afternoon, Lin Shen went to find Zhao Guang again.

Contacted a middle-aged man surnamed Bu through Zhao Guang.

The middle-aged man came very quickly, walking with a breeze, with a beaming expression, it could be seen that he was in a very good mood.

"I borrowed some money to buy eight pieces of fertile land. Have you brought the land deed?" Lin Shen said.

"Bring it." The middle-aged man said excitedly.

Lin Shen took out the money and handed over the silver with one hand and the land deed with the other.Just in case, the middle-aged man weighed the silver with a scale, and said with a smile, "Rich and rich."

Under the witness of Zhao Guang, Lin Shen won eight fertile fields.

Because there are still crops growing in the field, the price of a piece of fertile land is much cheaper.The two agreed that when the crops were harvested, the fertile land would be owned by Lin Shen.After autumn, Lin Shen had to figure out what to plant in the field.

The voice of the system sounded: "The mission of owning a piece of fertile land has been completed, and the mission reward will be issued soon."

"The task rewards are as follows, the host is free to choose two. Please choose carefully, and cannot be changed after confirmation.

Wheat seeds X25 catties.

Rice seeds X25 catties.

Corn seeds X25 catties.

Peanut seeds x25 catties.

Sweet potato seedlings X100.

Cabbage seeds X100 grains.

Zucchini seeds X100 grains.

Cucumber seeds X100 grains.

Rapeseed X100 grains. "

"The host's authority is insufficient, and the rewards later cannot be viewed. Please upgrade the host as soon as possible."

Right now, the opportunity to grow food has been missed. It is best to plant some cabbage and sweet potatoes, and they can be harvested again before the snow falls.

Lin Shen deliberated for a long time, and instead of rushing to make a choice, he began to bargain with the system: "The task you issued was to own a piece of fertile land, and I now have eight pieces of fertile land, which can be regarded as overfulfilling the task. Your task rewards, grain and seeds are all The amount of a piece of fertile land."

The system was silent for a while, and said: "The task reward is being refreshed——"

"The task reward has been refreshed, please check again."

Lin Shen looked at it, and found that the rewards at the back remained the same. For the rewards from peanut seeds (including peanut seeds), X25 was added to the end of 8 catties, which was really simple and rude.

"Why haven't the rewards changed?" He questioned again.

The system doesn't intend to spoil him anymore: "Please make a choice within half an hour, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the reward automatically."

Lin Shen protested, "Against power."

"Objection is invalid, please make a choice as soon as possible." The system said sternly.

"I overfulfilled the task..." Lin Shen did not give up.

The system's indifferent face: "Please make a choice as soon as possible."

"You are a repeater." Lin Shen complained.

"I choose 1 and 5." Lin Shen made a choice.

"The task reward is being issued, please accept it." The system said.

Green sweet potato seedlings appeared out of nowhere, a radish and a hole, planted in a white plastic bag with soil, neatly placed in the corner of the room.

Just as Lin Shen was about to go over to check, a bag of things fell from the sky and hit him heavily on the shoulder.He staggered and fell to the ground in embarrassment.Then the second bag, the third bag. . .

It took eight bags until it stopped.

Lin Shen shook his head and said calmly, "Why don't you continue smashing it?"

He was sure it was systematic revenge.

The old carpenter rushed back and was startled by the greenery in the room.

"What is this?" The old carpenter carefully walked around these sweet potato seedlings, not daring to touch them.

"This is sweet potato, that is, sweet potato. The yield is high and the growth cycle is short. If you plant it now, you can harvest it before winter." Lin Shen took a wooden water bottle and watered it carefully.

The old carpenter had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

He shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, can I eat it?"

"It's definitely edible." Lin Shen said.

Sweet potatoes have no requirements on soil quality, as long as they are planted, they can live, and the yield is particularly high.A piece of land may not be able to harvest much grain, but sweet potatoes can take several carts.Put it in the cellar and keep it, and you can't starve to death by eating sweet potatoes.

"Okay, look at the seeds." The old carpenter went to turn over the bags piled up next to him.

Opening the bag, a pungent smell came out, which made the old carpenter hide away.His old eyes were dim, and he squinted his eyes for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what was inside.

There is also a layer of medicine coating on the outside of the seeds. After soaking in the medicine, the color looks a bit weird.Where did the ancients see this? When they planted the land, they sprinkled the seeds into the ground, and then relied on the sky to harvest them.Before the seeds germinate, there are grain-eating insects in the soil.The low food production of ancient people was because many seeds were sprinkled on the ground and were eaten by extremely hungry insects, which led to many gaps in the ground, and the food production was naturally low.

Modern people have overcome this difficulty by wrapping a layer of coat on the outside of the seeds. The pungent smell can drive away the bugs. When the bugs smell this smell from a long distance, they will avoid it far away, which can greatly increase food income.

The seeds distributed by the system are products of modern high technology, and the ancients have never seen them before.

"This is wheat seed." Lin Shen said.

The old carpenter said in surprise: "Why is it different from what I have seen?"

The wheat seeds he had seen were shriveled and small, light brown in color.

The ones inside the bag are full and fat, and the most important thing is the color, some are red and some are brown, and they also exude an unpleasant smell. He suspects that this thing is poisonous, and someone is going to poison him and Lin Shen to death.

"My seeds are better." Lin Shen said.

OK.

The old carpenter reluctantly believed this statement.

The back was planned by Lin Shen as a vegetable garden, and there was no one competing with him for the space nearby. All he had to do was pull out the grass and grow the sweet potato ridges.

It is very simple to say, but it is finished in a few words, but it is very difficult to do.Especially in hot weather, every movement is covered in sweat.Anyway, there was no one around. The old carpenter was guarding the gate in the front yard. Lin Shen was shirtless, wearing only a pair of thigh-high underpants, and was diligently weeding in the backyard.

Someone seemed to be coming in the front yard, and the voice of the old carpenter talking to someone could be faintly heard.

Lin Shen wore a straw hat to pull weeds, and there was a large area behind, saying that he did it all by himself.

The old carpenter: "Shen'er—"

The old carpenter came from the front yard and brought a pot of cold water for Lin Shen to drink.

Lin Shen drank half of the pot of water in one breath, wiped his mouth and said, "Is there any work to do?"

The old carpenter was very proud: "This time is a big job, and I will be asked to do it by name. It is a respect for me, and the price is high. After finishing this job, we don't have to worry about it for half a year."

"When are you leaving?" Lin Shen asked.

"Three or four days later, the owner is a big family, and the carriage will come to pick us up." The old carpenter said.

"Okay." Lin Shen said.

Three or four days is enough for him to plant sweet potatoes.

In addition to growing sweet potatoes, he also wants to dig a cellar to store vegetables.

Put the sweet potato seedlings in and boil water, seal the moist place with fine soil, and a sweet potato seedling will be planted.The next seedling should be a few feet away, and so on.Soon, sweet potato seedlings were planted on the piled up soil ridges, and it was very gratifying to look green.

After that, Lin Shen observed for two more days.I go around the backyard every day to see how the sweet potatoes are growing.Sweet potatoes have very tenacious vitality and are crops that can guarantee harvest in drought and flood.

The butler of the Jiang family came and stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back.

It was raining lightly outside, and Lin Shen walked down the mountain dripping wet with a basket of mushrooms on his back.It may be that his image is not good, there is a lot of mud on his clothes, the housekeeper looked at him blankly.

It wasn't until the old carpenter reminded him that he recovered from his daze.

"This is my Shen'er."

"Oh, he went out even when it was raining," said the housekeeper.

The old carpenter said: "Mushrooms grow on the ground only when it rains."

The housekeeper also saw that many villagers also carried baskets and went down the mountain in the same embarrassment as Lin Shen.They may have picked a lot of mushrooms, and they all had harvest smiles on their faces.

"Sorry, I'll change my clothes first." Lin Shen said, then turned and entered the room.

It rained, and the heat faded a lot, and there was still a touch of coolness.

Lin Shen felt a little cold, so he hurried into the inner room and changed into clean clothes.After drinking the ginger water handed over by the old carpenter, he felt warm all over his body.

"You guys are really hardworking, and you go up to the mountain to pick mushrooms when it rains." The housekeeper sighed.

Lin Shen held a warm cup to keep warm, and said with a smile: "There is no way, the competition is too great. Only after it rains can mushrooms grow. It happened to rain yesterday, and the sun came out again this morning. Everyone went to Running up the mountain. If I don’t go, I won’t be able to find a hair. Who knows that it will rain, so I have to run down the mountain again.”

While talking, the old carpenter had already dumped the mushrooms on the ground, squinted his eyes while pinching a needle, stringed the mushrooms up one by one, and hung them in a dry place to dry slowly.When eating, take off the shrunken mushrooms and soak them in water for an hour. The mushrooms will become bigger after absorbing the water. After frying with meat, it will be more fragrant.

In the winter with less meat and less vegetables, dried mushrooms and dried fungus are rare dishes. If anyone can eat this, they will live a good life.

"It's not easy for anyone to make a living in this world." The housekeeper sighed, took out the contract and a box of red ink pads that he had with him, looked up at Lin Shen and said, "Do you need me to read the contents to you? "

"No, I'll see for myself," Lin Shen said.

After reading it, there was no problem. Lin Shen wrote his name and pressed his own handprint.

The butler took out a bag of things and said with a smile, "My little brother asked me to give it to you, and said it was what you wanted."

"It's a flower seed." Lin Shen took it with joy.

"Before I came, my brother was still searching for flower seeds." The housekeeper said with a smile.

The butler stayed for dinner as a matter of course, and Fried Cicada was warmly welcomed by him.

"This stuff is very expensive. Someone caught it and sold it in the market. My master loves to eat it, so he asked people to go out and buy a lot of it. I have eaten a few under the master's credit. But like now, there is a This is the first time for a large pot.”

"We don't have anything else here, but the most forests. At night, everyone from children to adults can feel it. This is what I touched last night." Lin Shen said with a smile.

There is also a kind of insect that can be eaten, called bamboo worm.The one that grows in the bamboo tube is white and fat before the shell is broken. After the shell is broken, the small one lies on the bamboo. It is also delicious when fried.

The butler was full, just as the rain outside had stopped, the golden sun had dried the wet ground, and the air in the mountains was warm and fresh.After bidding farewell to Lin Shen, the butler took the bicycle parts and sat in the carriage contentedly and left.

Lin Shen went to the bamboo forest, he came to catch bamboo insects.

Bamboo worms live by sucking bamboo walls, and the larvae are white and tender, which are pests to bamboo.If you want to catch bamboo worms, you have to pick new bamboos that are obviously deformed or have diseased spots. After splitting with a knife, there will be the bottom of the bamboo, and you will have a big nest once you catch them.

Local people eat more cicadas, but few people eat bamboo worms.Adult bamboo worms have hard shells and are small red ones, which can be eaten after being fried.Lin Shen deliberately carried two bamboo tubes, one for adult bamboo worms and the other for juvenile bamboo worms.

He looked at the bamboos one by one, saw the new bamboos with diseased spots, cut them down with a special hatchet, and the bamboos were exposed, and the white and tender moths flowed out.

This scene is not friendly to trypophobia, dense bamboo worms are wriggling inside, Lin Shen uses the bamboo tube that he carries with him, and the bamboo worms flow in.

Seeing the bamboo insect lying on it, he grabbed it and threw it into the bamboo tube.Along the way, he caught a lot of bamboo insects, picked up the bamboo tube and shook it lightly, and he could hear the sound of rattling inside, which was very pleasant.

Almost at the end, he heard the sound of running water, mixed with the voices of two people.

"What do you want? Don't come here, I'm calling someone."

"I have invested so much in you. Every time you can't eat, I help you. What do you think I'm trying to do to you? I don't want to be a good person. I just want a wife. A wife and children are hot on the bed." Said in a low voice.

"I didn't eat your food for free. I caught cicadas at night. I picked mushrooms from the mountains and wild vegetables. As long as I can do it, I will give you half of it. I didn't take advantage of you. I also help you Laundry, you can't... ah!"

With a plop, the thin one was crushed to the grass by the strong man.

"Let go of me, bastard!" The voice became sharper, scratching at the man above.

"Call it, no one will come if you call Potian. At this time, everyone is sleeping."

tear it up-

Lin Shen originally wanted to leave quietly, but when he realized that the voice was not right, he hesitated for a while, and looked down from the tall grass.

The person under the pressure seemed to be a short brother, who seemed to be Liu Sange's friend, named Luo Feng.There is only one blind Ah Mo in the family. His father died in an early childbirth.

At this moment, his clothes were torn, revealing half of his snow-white shoulders. . .

Lin Shen hurriedly put the bamboo tube on the ground, stepped over to grab the man on it, and punched him with a wave of his hand.

"Lin——" The man with a beard on his chin looked at Lin Shen in shock and anger.Before he could call Po Linshen's name, his fists greeted his eyes.

He rushed forward a few steps and fell headfirst to the ground.

"You don't want him if you don't hear him?" Lin Shen turned his back to Brother Liu and looked at the man angrily.

"When he and his aunt were starving to death, I gave them a bite to eat so that they would not starve to death. I helped them again and again. He is a brother who is about to marry. I don't believe he doesn't understand what I mean. " Lin Shen was a head taller than him, much stronger than him, the man dared not speak out.

"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back. You give me food, I'll wash your clothes, and sometimes I'll give you mushrooms and fungus, I didn't take advantage of you." Luo Feng straightened her clothes and hair. Messy, said with red eyes.

...
