I became an old man in my leisure time

Chapter 015: Inferior Purple Wheat

In the future, if I level up this Void Great Freedom and Formless Sutra, I may be able to sense farther and more clearly. Read

Thinking of this, Gu Ke couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could this martial art really be used to cultivate immortality? Otherwise, how could there be the ability of fasting and spiritual consciousness (perception).

Of course, this is just a wild thought.

Cultivating immortality starts with flying into the sky and hiding in the ground, and picking stars and destroying the sun is also a piece of cake, but he... should just farm honestly and make sure he doesn't starve to death first.

At this moment, the three of them stood on the edge of the stone platform, in front of them were green seedlings and purple ears in the black soil, and in the distance was an open sky.

Gu Ke felt that it was time to make a small request: "Sister Bai, after planting this batch of wheat, can we practice martial arts?"

Bai Suqing looked calm and unsurprised: "If you are talking about external training of blood and qi, activating the blood orifices, and condensing the first round of introductory martial arts, I can teach you at any time."

After a pause, she continued: "But external training and opening the orifices requires full blood and qi. If it is full, it will overflow. If you take advantage of the situation, it will come naturally. If you want to fill your blood and qi, you must be healthy, have enough food, and take a lot of good medicine to assist. Otherwise, the blood and qi will be like water without a source, and the body will only become weaker and weaker as it practices. "

Gu Ke nodded thoughtfully: "So practicing martial arts requires not only eating enough, but also eating well? What will happen if you don't eat enough or eat well after you have mastered martial arts?"

Bai Suqing sighed lightly: "Martial artists will consume their own blood and qi when practicing and fighting. Without food and medicine to supplement, the more they move, the weaker they will be."

"Sure enough, there are gains and losses." Gu Ke couldn't help shaking his head: "It seems that Xiaoman and I have to wait until the second season of wheat harvest to practice martial arts."

Bai Suqing nodded in agreement.

In this Yulong Valley, there is no food, no wild vegetables, and no prey. The strong consumption of martial artists is a burden.

These few days, seeing the wheat seedlings growing at an astonishing speed and about to mature, her mood has improved a lot, and she smiles from time to time, which is far from her initial gentle appearance but cold appearance.

It's really enough to have two bowls of porridge every day. Seeing that there is hope of eating enough, it is undoubtedly worth being happy.

She was a little confused about Gu Ke's desire to learn martial arts: why would an immortal who could create things out of thin air practice martial arts?

But thinking of someone's weak body and his identity as a eunuch, Bai Suqing didn't ask any more questions.

Who knows what unspeakable secrets there are? He didn't take the initiative to mention it, so she didn't ask.

Here, Gu Ke asked the "expert" Xiaoman for his opinion: "This wheat should be harvested, right?"

Xiaoman didn't answer, ran to the wheat ears and looked at them carefully, and selected a few of them separately, took a few grains of wheat and put them in her mouth to chew, showing a bright smile: "It's ripe, really ripe, and it tastes so fragrant."

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing were a little speechless: Can you eat something raw and smell good? You're probably going crazy with hunger.

But thinking of the thin porridge that has been close to clear water these days, it's normal for her to be like this.

Gu Ke nodded and raised the nameless hatchet he had just signed in for: "Okay, get out of the way, let me do it."

Xiao Man jumped in front of him, looking up and sending signals with his eyes shining.

Gu Ke was speechless and handed over the hatchet: "Okay, you do it, you do it."

The hatchet was signed in these few days. It is just over 40 centimeters long, with the blade and the handle each accounting for half. The head has a curved hook, the blade gradually narrows from front to back, and the tail is rolled into an oval handle.

It is dark and simple, as if it is really an ordinary iron farm tool.

But the description given by the system is-basic attribute: damage 2, special attribute: inwearable, dustproof +1.

Ordinary iron farm tools cannot have such luxurious attributes.

The effect of inwearability is very simple, that is, it will always be the same as it was when it was received.

Even if it is used to chop bushes and dig soil for farming, the hatchet will not have any gaps or deformations, and there will be no scratches on the dark blade.

Dust Repellent +1, can prevent foreign objects such as dirt and plant juice from sticking to the blade. Just wipe it slightly or rinse it with water, and the small hatchet can be clean as new.

Xiaoman was so obsessed with the hatchet that Gu Ke couldn't even use it to eat meat.

For example, at this moment, the hired worker picked up the hatchet and went to the field to cut wheat.

There were more than ten wheat plants, which were too scarce. Xiaoman cut them one by one and knocked them all down in a few strokes.

Gu Ke followed beside him, took the straw backpack made by Xiaoman, and put all the wheat in it.

After Xiaoman finished cutting, he finished harvesting.

But she was still worried and checked in the field to make sure that there were no scattered wheat grains, and then she went up to the stone platform.

The three of them gathered together and stroked the wheat ears with their hands.

Gu Ke had a thick layer of weeds on his hands, while Bai Suqing only relied on her delicate hands.

This is Yulong Valley, where there are no farm tools at all. It is really difficult to find a handy iron tool to use as a tool.

If not, Xiaoman would not be so greedy for the small hatchet.

Even if he was careful, the sharp and tough purple wheat awns had been pierced several times, which was painful and itchy.

However, Bai Suqing's white and tender hands rubbed the wheat ears at will, but they were not damaged at all, only the wheat grains kept falling on the straw mat in front of him.

Xiaoman picked up the smoothed wheat straw, rested it slightly, and put it aside to dry.

After the wheat straw is dried, it is a good fire starter, and it can also be used as a mattress for bed, which is warm and breathable.

The gray weed mat in Gu Ke's hut can be replaced soon.

The three of them worked for half an hour and finally separated the wheat grains and wheat straw, and spread them out to dry.

Looking at the lilac wheat grains emitting a bright glow on the yellow straw mat, the three of them were all moved: It looks delicious at first glance!

The system also gave an evaluation of these wheats - variety: purple wheat. Quality: poor.

Twelve purple wheat plants harvested about thirteen pounds of grain - this was weighed by the master Bai Suqing, and it is said that the error will not exceed two taels.

One pound of purple wheat is just over a hundred grains, each of which is as plump as an elongated soybean, and the weight is also heavy, feeling a bit like purple jade.

When it matures, the caryopsis and wheat grains are automatically separated, so it can be eaten without shelling, which is somewhat similar to highland barley.

But what Gu Ke planted before was low-quality winter wheat, and now he harvested low-quality purple wheat.

Through plant affinity and gradually keen perception, he determined that these large and heavy wheat grains without shells were full of vitality. Obviously, the fairy field can also change the variety and quality of crops.

Will the low-quality purple wheat continue to change the variety and improve the quality after it is planted this time? Thinking of this, Gu Ke asked: "Xiaoman, how many seeds are needed to plant all the black soil?"

Xiaoman estimated for a moment: "The stalks of this kind of wheat are very large, so they can't be planted too densely. It's best to plant them twice, and there should be some seeds left."
