Chief don't slap in the face

Chapter 5 Xia Ye's Peach Blossom Land!

In the early morning of the next day, the rainy day that lasted for many days passed, so the sky was clear and white clouds curled up, and finally there was a hint of spring warmth!

"Do you really have to follow?"

Leaving Xiacheng, heading north, the sparse forest belt is becoming more and more luxuriant, the buds have been pulled out, climbing on the branches, the green is pleasing.

"You are so sure about what you said, of course I want to take a look!"

Xia Lingyue was so curious that his younger brother had to spend seven days to earn a thousand knives, which was simply an impossible task.

"Okay, but if you encounter danger, you run first and leave me alone!"

Xia Ye compromised and asked patiently.

Just after the wave of desolate beasts passed, the wilderness was not very safe, so few people could be seen on the road, and when entering the forest, there were even less people, not even a single ghost.

"how much longer?"

We set off before dawn, and we have already traveled a long way, but the summer moon is used to suffering, and we don't feel tired: "Huh? Wild grapes!"

Pushing aside the branches blocking the way, a large forest of wild grapes burst into view abruptly.

"Wow, why are there so many? If we wait until autumn, how many grapes can we harvest?"

Xia Lingyue trotted over, while carefully inspecting the growth, while muttering: "Mine, it's all mine!"

"It's all yours!"

Xia Ye stood leaning against a tree with a smile in his eyes.

"No, these vines are of different years, and there are not many weeds around them, obviously they have been pulled!"

Xia Lingyue quickly discovered the clues, and looked at her younger brother in astonishment: "What's going on?"

"I planted it!"

Xia Ye explained.

"how is this possible?"

Xia Lingyue cried out, then covered her mouth again, talking so loudly in the forest might attract the beasts.

"When did you learn to grow grapes?"

Xia Lingyue knew that her younger brother never lied, so she was extremely surprised.

"Slowly explore, use it for a few years, and you will learn it!"

Xia Ye randomly made up a reason. In this era, food was scarce, so the land was used to grow sorghum, millet, wheat and other staple crops.

Ordinary people eat vegetables, just dig in the wild. Orchards and vegetable gardens are owned by a few nobles and are a status symbol. Therefore, the threshold for planting technology is very high, and it is also very mysterious to ordinary people.

"How did you grow it? Tell me!"

Xia Lingyue shook Xia Ye's arm and looked at him eagerly like a kitten: "Do you use seeds?"

"grafting!"

Xia Ye was concise and to the point.

"grafting?"

Xia Lingyue looked confused. To her, this kind of vocabulary was tantamount to fantasy.

"Uh, just choose the sweetest and strongest vine, cut off a branch, and connect it to other vines!"

Xia Ye explained.

"Can you live like this?"

Summer Moon's small mouth opened into an 'O' shape.

"Many of the wild grapes are sour, and they need to be grafted and cultivated until the last ones are the sweetest and biggest grapes!"

Xia Ye thought for a while, but he didn't want to talk about the topic of cuttings, otherwise he would need to explain more.

"It's incredible!"

Xia Lingyue sighed, then became excited, grabbed her younger brother, her eyes lit up: "You mean all the grapes here are big and sweet?"

"If there are no accidents!"

Xia Ye gritted her teeth, her sister's hands are so strong.

"As long as you are in better health these few years, you will always go out. Don't you always grow grapes here?"

Daylight saving month questioning.

"How is it possible? Just drop by, okay? Anyway, it's not too hard!"

Xia Ye couldn't laugh or cry, could it be that I was a fruit farmer until I was shot in the knee by an arrow?
"Effortless?"

Xia Lingyue wanted to scream again, with this kind of skill, he is a master, and he is qualified to be a corporal by Zhao Wang Lixian, okay?
"Let's go, I didn't bring you to see the grapes!"

Xia Ye continued to lead the way, and has been taking care of it for five years. Judging by the growth, there should be a good harvest this year. By then, several early plans can be put into practice.

Xia Lingyue looked back three times at every step, reluctant to look at the vineyard, wishing to live here.

Passing through a bamboo forest, beside a gurgling stream, there is a small piece of open land. As soon as the summer moon arrives, they scream and jump over the cobblestones.

The wind passes through the bamboo forest, the green shade dances, the swallows pass over the stream, and the birds chirp!
This place is really beautiful!

"Yeah, there are fish!"

Xia Lingyue took off her straw sandals, rolled up her sleeves, and immediately jumped down, but then she was shocked.

The stream water in early spring is still a bit cool!
The fish is not big, two fingers wide, and it swims cunningly. Xia Lingyue tried several times, but he couldn't catch it.

"Oh, ran away again!"

Xia Lingyue patted the water surface annoyed.

"Don't catch, don't eat fish at noon!"

Xia Ye took a stone plate and put it in the shallow water beside the stream: "Remember to eat, I'm going to work!"

"Wait, what is this?"

Xia Lingyue ran over, splashing water from the steps she stepped on.

The stone plate is full of a heart-shaped fruit, covered with dew, with green leaves at the root, so red and lovely.

"strawberry!"

Xia Ye chuckled lightly.

"strawberry?"

Under Xia Ye's gesture, Xia Lingyue picked up one and put it in her mouth.

The white teeth of the braided shell broke through the flesh easily, and the soft touch just hit the heart, it was replaced by a slightly sour, and then turned into sweetness.

call!
Xia Lingyue closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and had endless aftertaste. Then, another bright red strawberry fell into her belly.

"It's so sweet, you should try it too!"

Xia Lingyue picked up one and handed it to Xia Ye.

"It's too sweet, don't like it, eat it!"

Xia Ye shook his head.

"Oh"

Stretching out the tip of her pink tongue, licking off the remaining juice on her lips, Xia Lingyue put away the plate with unfinished thoughts.

"Eat, don't save!"

Xia Ye was speechless.

"No, save it and eat it later!"

Daylight Savings Month refused.

"This thing can't be kept, it won't be fresh!"

Xia Ye explained.

"Then don't!"

Summer Moon shook her head like a rattle.

"Just eat, there's still a lot to come!"

Seeing my sister's smile makes the effort of transplanting these strawberries totally worth it.

"Don't... what?"

Xia Lingyue was taken aback.

Xia Ye casually pointed, and Xia Lingyue rushed out like a runaway rabbit.

"Ha ha!"

Xia Ye prepared the tools, and only a moment later, Xia Lingyue rushed back, dragging him to the back: "Strawberries, so many! So many!"

"I know!"

Xia Ye was speechless.

Xia Lingyue froze, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "You can't plant it again, right?"

"Wild ones won't grow in vegetable beds!"

Xia Ye pulled away her sister's hand: "You can play by yourself, I have to work!"

"Oh!"

Xia Lingyue looked at her younger brother, then at the vegetable bed in the bamboo forest, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, she rushed over again: "No, I have to look again."

There is no vertigo, on about half an acre of land, six rows of low plants are neatly planted, the kind of fruit called strawberry by my brother grows on it, and some are not ripe.

"I must be dreaming!"

Xia Lingyue murmured, seeing a caterpillar crawling on a leaf, she knocked it off immediately, this is her own strawberry, don't try to steal it!
Pulling weeds and removing insects, after busying for a while, Xia Lingyue suddenly remembered that there was nothing to do, so she looked for her younger brother.

"No need, just take a stroll!"

Xia Ye is not willing to make her sister work hard: "Besides, you won't!"

"Oh!"

The younger brother has grown up and has his own ideas, which makes Xia Lingyue a little disappointed, but she soon becomes excited again, running around like a deer, and begins to explore her new continent.

This open space is bent into a vertical crescent shape by the stream. The south side is the lower half of the crescent, which is covered by bamboo forests. Qian Ren's precarious attitude.

There are several natural caves on the rock wall, and occasionally swallows pick up spring mud and build their nests in the gaps.

Xia Lingyue stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around.

"The first one on the left is the deepest, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is a natural storage room, the second one is the kitchen, the third one is the bedroom, the third one is the largest, it is piled up with sundries, the six next to it are for various functions Workshop."

Xia Ye raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to visit?"

"want!"

Xia Lingyue ran directly towards the third cave, and through the sunlight projected in, she saw that there were some daily necessities here, all of which were neatly arranged, but the most eye-catching thing was the clay pots piled up in the corner .

"so much?"

Xia Lingyue was astonished, how much would it cost to buy this?But thinking that everything in Taoyuan Township was built by my younger brother, could it be...

"Everything I do is a failure!"

Xia Ye smiled embarrassedly. When he was in college, he was pulled into the Classical Department by a familiar senior sister, so he dabbled in pottery, porcelain, and even tea ceremony and other cultures.

Xia Lingyue squatted next to a pile of pottery, touched this, knocked that, and when Xia Ye said that, she immediately cried out.

"Such a great clay pot, but it's still a failure?"

"Not beautiful enough!"

Xia Ye explained.

"..."

The summer months are speechless, what is beauty?Can I eat it?I don't know why, but my younger brother's thoughts are always unconstrained and unconscionable sometimes!
"I just want to give a gift to archaeologists thousands of years from now!"

Xia Ye shrugged his shoulders. He had already buried a dozen or so well-made clay pots in the depths of the cave. The Yin Scripture is too long to remember, so he will engrave it!
Xia Lingyue didn't ask what an archaeologist is, anyway, some inexplicable words often popped out of his brother's mouth.

"Let's go, I'll make you a delicacy today!"

Xia Ye went to the storage cave, carried a bag of wheat out, and entered the workshop.

"Can barley porridge be called food?"

Summer Moon is puzzled.

Due to the fault of civilization, people in this post-lithic age do not understand the method of shelling wheat sorghum, and the cooking method is basically steaming and stewing, so the taste of the rice can be imagined.

"This time it's my turn to create a mysterious tool!"

Xia Ye sold a trick.
