Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 8 Reclaiming Space Farms

Scanning the entire kitchen, he shook his head in frustration.

Except for a handful of gray rice and a little coarse salt, there are not even a few bundles of firewood for boiling water and cooking. How poor is it?
Unable to find any other seeds, Shi Zhongkui wanted to go out to look for them, but he stopped before taking a few steps.

A sense of extreme hunger was transmitted from the stomach to the brain.

As an orphan in the previous life, he still knew how to cook. He took the wheat in the pot back to the space, husked and crushed it, and then took it out.

The water put into the space water well starts kneading the dough.

I made a random batch of noodles to fill my stomach. When I washed the dishes, I saw my face clearly through the water in the wooden basin, and I was immediately satisfied.

In addition to being thin because of the problem of eating, Shi Zhongkui feels at least five points more handsome than his appearance on earth.

Moreover, the stone nerd in my memory was only 19 years old, with a handsome face and a height of more than 1.7 meters, so he couldn't help laughing.

Being ugly in ancient times had a great influence on promotion.

After washing the pots and dishes, my mind sank into the farm in my mind again.

Unexpectedly, the wheat field had already sprouted.

This speed is definitely beyond imagination, and it seems that there is no need to worry about watering.

Shi Zhongkui clenched his fist excitedly, and then thought of an old peach tree planted in his yard.

He walked out of the kitchen quickly, and after a while, he was holding a dozen peach branches in his hand.

With a thought, these branches appeared on the farm and were planted in a piece of land.

But the situation was a bit beyond his expectation.

It's not that it can't grow, but that only one branch sprouted quickly, and all the others withered and turned into soft mud and sank into the soil.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Zhongkui quickly understood.

If a piece of land can only harvest 10 catties, one peach tree is enough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the peach tree in the yard.

At least this old tree, which is as thick as a person's arms, will grow into a big tree than the branches, and it will take a shorter time to bear fruit.

But when he thought that if the tree was dug up, people like neighbors might come to ask about it, so Shi Zhongkui dismissed the idea.

Moreover, digging a big tree is not so easy. Not only do you have to dig the soil, but you also have to cut off the roots, and there are no suitable tools.

After thinking about it, he planted the third piece of land with wheat.

Then, simply turn all the remaining grassland into arable land.

很快10乘10米的农场里，除了仓库和水井之外，开垦出20块2乘2米大小的土地。

If it is really based on the production of 10 catties per field, 200 catties of crops can be harvested at one time.

In this way, it seems a little less.

Shi Zhongkui felt somewhat regretful that he hadn't secretly hidden a few seeds or peach pits of the heavenly melons and fruits at the banquet in the heavenly court the day before yesterday.

But when I thought about it, I didn't think about it at all, and if Xue Gui and others found out, it would be tantamount to trouble.

For me at that time, it was really not a good thing.

But if you only grow something like wheat, it's not worth it.

Although calculated normally, one square meter of wheat land in modern land can harvest about 1.5 catties of wheat, and 4 square meters is 6 catties.

Compared with 10 catties, the farm still has a great advantage.

If we look forward to it, the farm can ripen once a day, or even several times a day. Compared with the harvest of only two or three hundred catties per mu in ancient times, it will be a hundred times more profitable.

PS: The Red House is almost comparable to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. A catty should be 596.8 grams, a catty is 16 taels, and a catty is 37.3 grams.

With this expectation, all 17 newly opened fields were planted with wheat again.

As for why it is not a peach tree, it is because normally it takes three or four years for a peach tree to grow and bear fruit.

Wheat is ripe every three months, and a variety of grains will come out, and the problem of eating will be solved first.

Then look at the sun is already westward, it seems to be 4 or 5 o'clock, and then think about it in my memory, it is already November at this time, it should not be long before it will be dark.

I simply went to the study and sorted out the four books that I had copied in hand.

Do the first practice at night.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui knew very well that in ancient times, it was better to take the road of imperial examination than to take the road of magic stick.

Recalling for a moment, if I remember correctly, the county examination will be in February next year, the government examination will be in April, and the hospital examination will be held twice in three years. It may be in August, or it may be after April.

If you are lucky, if you pass it once, you will be a scholar.

Although a scholar is nothing, at least he can say that he is a scholar, he does not worship officials, does not have to serve corvee, and does not have to pay taxes.

When I came to the study room, I sorted out and recognized the traditional characters of the world, whether it was any different from the earth.

But I didn't expect that after watching it, I suddenly found that the boring and difficult classical Chinese not only read it, but also remembered a lot.

The 493 characters in the first "Xueer" can be memorized after only reading it once.

This must be due to the sublimation of the soul in the heavenly court, and at the same time, the stone nerd's memory also played a big role.

But suppressing the excitement in his heart, he recited the second chapter several times again, Shi Zhongkui's face brightened, confirming that his memory had become much stronger.

This is a cheating tool for the imperial examination.

No, I can store all materials such as books and annotations in the space.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shi Zhongkui's mouth turned up slightly, and then he wanted to see how his handwriting was.

But I found that apart from a few bald brushes, there were not even a few pieces of paper for writing.

Sighing again, he thought to himself, as a cultivator, would he still be short of money?
And when the soul travels, there is a house of its own, and there is a farm, and the problem of food and accommodation is solved, and other things will gradually get better.

Grind and spread out the yellowed paper.

I closed my eyes and recalled the writing habits of stone nerds in the past. The first time I wrote the pen, it was a little rusty, but as I wrote it, the handwriting gradually became similar to the words in my memory.

This is probably the reason for the muscle memory, and he has completely accepted all the stone nerd's memories, so that he can copy his handwriting.

When he was on Earth, Shi Zhongkui seldom wrote calligraphy, not to mention calligraphy, but now he is very happy that he can write neat calligraphy.

Just don't know how it compares to others?

After silently thinking about the memories in his mind, he was sure that the stone nerd had worshiped an old scholar as his teacher.

Now it seems that Shu Xiu must be handed in as soon as possible. Even if he is not like a boy who goes to a private school every day to attend lectures, he can still get some pointers from the old scholar.

A person who has been in the imperial examination for a lifetime not only knows the rules of the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, but also can learn some things to pay attention to from the other party in the future.

When it was getting dark, Shi Zhongkui made a hand-rolled noodle again, and saw that the wheat and peach trees in the farm had already grown a lot.

In a happy mood, he sat on the cold bed in his clothes and practiced all night without knowing it.

PS: Ask for follow-up, collection, ask for monthly pass
