The strongest medical saint in the city

Chapter 19
Zhou You left Erleng to do the reclamation of the saline-alkali land, and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the mountain several times.Because every time Zhou You enters the mountain, he has to carry a wooden bucket with a capacity of tens of liters to fill the Lingquan. He doesn't want to be seen by the villagers, so he can only enter the mountain at night.

The spirit snake has not forgotten the deal with Zhou You, and has already entered the deep mountain to help Zhou You gather a lot of herbs.This spirit snake is really smart, knowing that all the positive herbs in the mountains near Lingquan Village have been harvested by him, so when he went to the deep mountains to collect herbs, most of them were positive herbs, and many of them were really needed for traveling.

"You're really smart!" Zhou You exclaimed.

Zhou You took a closer look and found that the herbs picked by the spirit snake were all good, so he selected the best ones and planted them near the Lingquan: "These are relatively rare herbs. Plant them here first, and wait for them to grow." After the spiritual spring is used to improve the saline-alkali land, a field can be reclaimed as a medicine field."

Zhou You put away the other medicinal materials, and said to Spirit Snake, "Next time I come, I can refine some pills for you. Although they are not as effective as Qiling Pills, they can also speed up your cultivation speed!"

"Hiss!" Spirit Snake was able to understand Zhou You's words, and stuck out his tongue excitedly.

For three whole days, Zhou You traveled back and forth between the mountains and the village all night, and finally stored enough spiritual springs, mixed it with ordinary river water at a ratio of [-]:[-], and poured it into the ground, which should be able to improve the saline-alkali geology.

Zhou You also pays attention to the situation of reclaiming the fields from time to time.Most of the villagers recruited by Erleng were able to do their duty, but there were also many of them who bullied Erleng to look stupid, and wanted to collect money after a few casual land reclamations.

Unexpectedly, Er Leng's performance exceeded Zhou You's expectations. Every time someone came to collect the money, Er Leng would go to check it carefully first, but if he was a little lazy, he would not give a penny.

Those who wanted to make up for it didn't expect that the simple-minded Er Leng would become so reckless, and suddenly said dissatisfied: "You idiot, you want to renege on your debt."

"I don't have any!" Er Leng said loudly, "It's 50 yuan per mu of land, which was ordered by Brother Zhou You, and it is definitely not treating you badly. But look, is this considered reclamation? There are not many big rocks in the field. Deal with it! In the past, you took advantage of me and exchanged [-] cents for one yuan. As long as I don’t starve to death, you can change it. But now I am helping Brother Zhou You to work, and the money is not mine. I can’t let you take advantage of it again!”

Those who worked hard were naturally on Er Leng's side, accusing each other one after another. After all, the money Zhou You gave was quite conscientious, bullying Er Leng was easy to talk, and they wanted to get money if they didn't work hard. They were not balanced.

When Grandpa relayed Er Leng's words to Zhou You, Zhou You burst out laughing.

"You boy, your ability to judge people is better than Grandpa." Grandpa thought of Erleng's performance these days, and only then realized that he really didn't see Erleng's wise and foolish thoughts before.

"Brothers who have played since childhood, I don't know what kind of material it is?" Zhou You said proudly, but he also remembered those people who were just pretending to be fake, and no matter how short he was in the future, he would not recruit them.

During the period, Song Fu also called Zhou You, saying that the fitness wine was too hot, and the supply had long been in short supply, but more and more people came to make reservations, many of whom Song Fu could not easily offend, so I wanted to ask Zhou You When will the three batches of fitness wine come out?

Zhou You has been busy with fields and spiritual springs these days, he really didn't take fitness wine seriously, and said to Song Fu: "I remember you kept half of the second batch of wine privately. Since the supply is in short supply, I'll let you drink it privately." Let’s take out the hidden ones and sell them.”

Song Fu immediately lowered his voice and said to Zhou You: "Boss, didn't we agree? I will store the better wine first, and the key items when I go out to establish my own family!"

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll brew another batch, and the effect will increase several times!" Zhou You said.With the help of the Spirit Snake, Zhou You has already found the Tianyang Grass, which can make a complete fitness wine. Even traveling around is a bit difficult to estimate.

However, Zhou You didn't want to use snake skin to make wine, it would be a bit of a waste, so he kept it for now, and it might come in handy at that time.

Three days later, when all the land had been reclaimed, Zhou You called Er Leng and told Er Leng to mix the water from his yard with the river water three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.

Zhou You also specially instructed that the villagers can do the watering, but they must not disclose any news about the water in Zhou You's yard!
Er Leng is actually not stupid at all. Hearing Zhou You's implication, he immediately said, "Brother Zhou You, don't worry, I come to the yard early in the morning to secretly bring enough water, mix it into the river and let the villagers water it!"

Seeing that Er Leng understood what he meant, Zhou You nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "There are a few pieces of land to the west of Lingquan Village, which belong to you and Grandpa. It is close to the deep mountains, and few people pass by there. All the land is irrigated with water from my yard, and you need to do it yourself."

"Leave it to me!" Er Leng agreed without hesitation.

The rest of the land is used to grow vegetables, and it is enough to mix the Lingquan and river water to irrigate, but the land that Erleng specially ordered Erleng to irrigate himself is specially used by Zhou You as a medicine field, so it must be irrigated with Lingquan.

Erleng also organized the villagers to water the reclaimed fields, and all the water had to be collected from Erleng. They used the water they collected from the river to irrigate, and Erleng did not pay them.Although the villagers find it strange, watering the water three times in the morning, noon and evening and giving 50 yuan is many times easier than doing farm work, and they earn more. How can anyone be unwilling?

After three days, the white saline-alkali land gradually turned into the color of normal soil.Especially the land that was going to be used as a medicine field was all irrigated with spiritual springs. Grandpa took a look and immediately knew that this place had become a rare fertile soil!

Zhou You planned to plant a batch of vegetables first, and he thought the growth would be good, and then transplanted the herbs from Lingquan.

Because the land has been improved, it only needs to be irrigated with the Lingquan once every two or three days. Zhou You dug ditches near the fields.After planting vegetables with a short growth cycle, Zhou You didn't ask any more questions after explaining to Er Leng a few words.

But early in the morning of the third day, Er Leng ran over and knocked on Zhou You's door.

"What's wrong?" Zhou You asked strangely.

"Brother Zhou You, vegetable seedlings are growing in the field!" Panting heavily, Er Leng said in surprise, "I planted a lot of vegetables before, but none of them survived! But all the vegetable seeds you planted, Zhou You, sprouted Already!"

This is a reasonable thing, Zhou You said with a smile: "Of course, don't you believe me?"

"No!" Er Leng said in disbelief, "It usually takes a month for things like cucumbers to bloom and bear fruit, but the cucumber you planted, brother Zhou You, only took three days to bloom. According to my calculations, It only takes half a month at most to pick them!"

Hearing this, Zhou You was also slightly taken aback.Knowing that Lingquan can improve the land, but I didn't expect that it can also speed up the growth time of vegetables, which is a pleasant surprise.
