Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 44 Reed (protective) ginseng (liver) ointment (tablet)
Digging the soil is easy, but the most difficult thing for ordinary people is how to keep the land level after being turned.

But this is easy for Chen Yu.

The field on the mountain is really not big, and his current physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary farmers, so it is very easy to turn and level it.

The morning wind blows, and the sun in the sky is still walking leisurely upwards.A few clouds hang in the sky, swinging around the blue sky.

While the sun was out, Chen Yu waved his hoe along the edge of the field to dig.The soil is still soft, and it is easy to stick to the hoe blade, so after digging a few times and lifting it, you have to smash it hard on the ground.

The five-fen field was far from wide, and it took about half an hour to turn it upside down, and he continued to dig back and forth with the hoe.

Don't stop until the top soil becomes soft.

According to common sense, this step should be done by cattle or donkeys and horses, but it is difficult to see, there is nothing but a weak and stupid deer, so Chen Yu can only go into battle by himself.

Then, it is necessary to fertilize, also called urn fertilizer.It refers to pouring fertilizers into the field—usually straw, plant ash, or human and animal manure.

Fortunately, spring millet does not require high fertility, far from Jinyang rice, so the step of fertilization is simple and not too troublesome.

The ashes accumulated in the hearth were filled with soil pockets, and the ashes were scattered in the fields.

Not long after, the dark yellow soil was covered with a thin layer of silver gray.

At this time, there was light rain in the sky.

Chen Yu looked up at the blue sky, there were no dark clouds overlapping, and the sun was very bright. He guessed that there was another drizzle soon, so he stopped meddling and took care of the work in the field with peace of mind.

It takes two times to turn over the soil, mainly because the first time is next to Pingyu, the soil layer is wet and soft, and it needs to be dried for two days after turning over.But the benefits of Pingyu are not without, at least he doesn't have to worry about watering, he just needs to throw the ash in the ground and let it soak into the soil.

After the fields were taken care of, the three bags of plant ashes were used up, and then Chen Yu only had to wait for the sowing.

So he returned, intending to see the stupid deer.

……

Walking all the way into the temple, I found that the sika deer that was dangling in front of me earlier was gone, and I couldn't find it when I went to the medicine field in the backyard.

left?
Helpless, fortunately he still wanted to use the other party to test a few more times, but in the end, he ate it up and ran very fast.

It is estimated that I don't know where to eat grass in the forest now.

However, the departure of the sika deer was expected, and Chen Yu didn't care about it for long. Judging from the fact that he didn't even tie the rope, maybe he never thought about raising the other party.

Talking about staying, but it was just talking.

After all, that stupid deer has a big appetite, spring and summer are fine, but if it comes to autumn and winter, wouldn't he have to go all over the mountains and fields to cut hay to feed?
trouble.

After this matter was over, Chen Yu still cared more about the information he got from the other party about the crops catalyzed by inspiration.

Yesterday, the smoky brown deer ate not only the intestine-moistening grass after the mutated jade insect clothing, but also several buds produced by green vegetables.

They were all swallowed. Presumably, the other party ate very sweetly, and didn't even notice what he ate.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tossed so badly at the beginning.

The encounter between brother chicken and gluttonous deer made him confirm the function of the intestine-moistening grass, but the function of the buds of green vegetables is still unclear.

Recalling the various performances of the greedy deer before, Chen Yu still couldn't think of any difference.

Maybe it is the same as Runchangcao, and its effect is delayed?

Pushing open the door of the firewood room, brother chicken was pacing, and acquaintances were extremely jealous when they met each other. After a cry, he jumped up ferociously, and then he grabbed him in his hand.

Looking at the big rooster that kept crowing, Chen Yu temporarily let go of the idea of ​​plucking the hair and throwing it into the pot.The gluttonous deer is gone, so the next important task of assisting the experiment will undoubtedly fall on the chicken brother. Even so, it cannot be killed directly.

"Brother Chicken, you will have a heavy task in the future, so add lunch today."

He grabbed two handfuls of rice and sprinkled it in a corner of the room. He ignored the arrogance of the rooster, who seemed to be saying that he would not eat the food he gave, and turned away.

After a day, wait for Brother Chicken to digest the Intestinal Moisturizing Grass and then give it green vegetable sprouts. In case something goes wrong, at least he can eat two more full meals.

As for what's next...it was still early, the fields had already been overturned, and he was a little idle for a while, not knowing what he was going to do.

Let's read the Taoist scriptures, you have to go at night to have a good mood and read more comfortably.

As for the exercises, I have done 25 repetitions of the spirit-strengthening technique today, any more will be too much and it will hurt my body.

By the way, why not start cultivating grain seeds now?There are also medicinal seeds, and by the way, those herbs that were picked yesterday should also be tried, some of which are inspired, and some of which are used...

Flicking his fingers, Chen Yu suddenly discovered that there are quite a lot of things that can be used for inspiration, especially when he thinks of the various objects he has acquired with a stick and a hammer in the past few days, he feels that in the future, Brother Chicken's trial Eating tasks should not be too easy.

Oh, and mushrooms!

Let’s not mention the wild vegetables. Although the number of mushrooms picked yesterday is slightly worse than last time, they can’t be eaten in one or two meals. Chen Yu thought, how about some dried mushrooms?I heard that it has a different flavor.

And it is easy to store, so it won't rot if you don't eat much, and it will be fed to flies.

He said while doing it, but when he was about to take out those bags of grain and medicine, he remembered something again.

Nourishing Liver Tablets, the reed ginseng ointment hasn’t been prepared yet!
"I must have been busy taking care of that gluttonous deer yesterday, so I forgot about it!"

No matter what, a big hat was put on first, and then Chen Yu put down his work, washed the medicine tripod, stone pestle and other tools and took them out.

The preparation of reed ginseng ointment is not complicated, mainly reed ginseng, supplemented with green winter, Poria cocos, Sanjiu fruit and other medicinal materials, smashed and mixed for a while, then dried in the sun, filled with rice paste and sweet sprouts.

Among the many materials, only reed ginseng is a little hard to find, but it is not expensive at the foot of the mountain. As for other condiments and medicines, they are more common. Yesterday, I picked a lot from the mountain stream with a little care and brought them back.

Because the reed ginseng can't be put in, the potency of the medicine will drop a lot after losing water for a long time, so Chen Yu didn't delay, and quickly finished the blending and mixing the medicine.

After a lot of trouble, the time has reached noon without knowing it, the time of day when the sun is at its peak.

Thanks to the good weather, the drying of the syrup went smoothly.

When Chen Yu came over to check the situation while planing the rice, it had been dried successfully, and a piece of black sesame-like medicinal powder was spread out on the stone surface.

After hastily eating lunch, he collected the medicinal powder in a clean bamboo tube, then poured hot sticky rice paste and juice made from sweet sprouts everywhere on the mountain side.

After closing the lid and shaking it, it ended up being a warm paste.

Bow your head and sniff lightly, the ointment has the fragrance of rice grains, the medicinal smell of reed ginseng, and the faint sweetness of sweet buds.

When it solidifies, a tube of reed ginseng ointment is ready.

In fact, it's not so much an ointment as a snack that doesn't taste bad.

The general proportion of reed ginseng ointment does not use rice paste and sugar buds. This is an indigenous method passed down by an old Taoist priest. The bitterness and dryness of medicinal materials.

In memory, from top to bottom of Yunhe Guan, no matter young or old, they are full of praise.
