let go of that priestess

Jiang Hongdou patted his back to let him breathe, feeling distressed and complaining: "What did I say before!?"

"..."

Ji Cheng's face was embarrassing, he paused but he still said: "Continue in the afternoon..."

"Hey! What are you doing! It's all like this!"

"It's okay, it's fine if you spit it out, am I not doing well?"

Ji Cheng rinsed his mouth again, wiped the corners of his mouth, straightened up a little weakly, and said, "Just be more careful next time, I understand."

"..."

Jiang Hongdou, who couldn't beat him, had no choice but to dutifully act as a medical soldier and a second counter.

After working so hard like this, when it was dark and returned to the camp, Ji Cheng vomited three more times and was shaking when he walked.

In contrast, what was exchanged was another plant that was similar in appearance to Target No. [-], but slightly different, and was designated as Target No. [-].

Seeds are kept in separate jars from Target One.

The next day, Ji Cheng, who had already agreed to take a day off, couldn't help but dragged the girl into the forest.

Obviously the first day, the first one, luck is so good...

Ji Cheng knew that something was wrong with his current mood, just like playing a card game on Blue Star——

Let's smoke again, I've already paid for several rounds, it's time to ship!

As a result, for the next week, neither of them gained anything.

His body was completely unable to hold on, and after having to rest for a day, Ji Cheng was unwilling to reconcile and decided to take another gamble, a big gamble.

Early this morning, they did not enter the forest again.

Ji Cheng took Jiang Hongdou to change direction, went to the other side of the camp, heading towards the mountains.

"Go up the mountain, not into the forest?"

On the way up the mountain, Jiang Hongdou was puzzled and worried: "It's not easy to go up, and it's not easy to go down. You don't have shoes, and you only have grass skirts. The mountain wind..."

"Yeah." Ji Cheng gritted his teeth, he knew what Jiang Hongdou said: "It's really not reasonable to go up the mountain now, but there will be opportunities."

"What kind of opportunity, you can't be..." Jiang Hongdou couldn't think of the word 'upper', so he stopped.

Ji Cheng arched his feet, stepped on the rock, concentrated his attention, avoided the sharp stones, and tried his best to climb up. After a while, he took the time to say:

"In my place, there is a crop called potatoes.

This stuff is one of the few plants that contains all the nutrients humans need!

And it harvests more heat than any other food crops on the same land area!High carbs!

Moreover, it is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. When it was discovered, it was a very good natural variety!

Compared with the Target No. [-] and No. [-] we collected before, the grass crops with good yields that require selective breeding or even cross-breeding are much stronger!

At present, for us, such a perfect thing is equivalent to the food bestowed by the gods! "

"Gods don't exist..." Jiang Hongdou's mouth twitched.

Ji Cheng coughed: "Uh yes, but in short, the god of luck will be on our side."

"..."

Jiang Hongdou felt that something was wrong with him, definitely something was wrong...

Otherwise, I ate poisonous plants before and didn't finish vomiting, and something went wrong with the poison.

Looking at the top of the towering mountain, Jiang Hongdou thought silently:

If Ji Cheng still insists on going up at noon, no matter what, he has to be held back to make him cold, calm down... hey!etc?

As soon as his thoughts diverged, Jiang Hongdou caught a glimpse of Ji Cheng suddenly carrying a stone ax and running to a flatter place on the left side of the mountain stream.

There are plants with low leaves growing there.

She was startled, and quickly followed Ji Cheng, and ran over.

Then I saw him digging with a stone ax for a while, and after uprooting one of the plants, he stared at the root of the plant with a dazed expression.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Hongdou thought that he had been stimulated and shocked, so she came over and gently held his hand, and persuaded in a low voice:

"It's okay...let's look for it again."

"Hahaha......"

Ji Cheng suddenly laughed silly.

Underground tubers, yellow bark, and the familiar graceful curves.

Exactly the same ah exactly the same!

Even if you don't need to test the edible properties, it's okay!

His eyes were shining like stars, and after recovering from the surprise, he turned around and hugged Jiang Hongdou, and took a hard mua:

"Don't look for it, this is it!

Potato!We got potatoes! ! ! "

Chapter 30 Tian

Ji Cheng still remembers that shortly after meeting the girl, she once said such a sentence:

"Now there are only dates and berries. When it's hotter, we can pick figs. When the leaves turn yellow, we can pick olives and pears when it's cooler."

Since then, he has been thinking that if most of these fruits that appeared earlier than the late Homo sapiens exist now, there should also be predecessors of crops similar to those on Blue Star.

It's just that the human migration life pattern here doesn't fit with it, so it hasn't been discovered yet.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

There are Target [-], Target [-], similar to the predecessors of modern wheat.

There are also potatoes that were successfully unearthed after taking the last gamble.

Regarding potatoes, in Blue Star, when humans were also in the period of hunting and gathering, an Indian tribe migrated from the east to the Andes.

They ran out of food on the mountain and were forced to discover potatoes buried in the ground.

Just like the girl tribe, they only try to eat unknown plants when they really have nothing to eat.

Now, Ji Cheng and the others are actively exploring.

grateful!This is very similar to Blue Star!

grateful!Potatoes are a plant that can grow in almost any corner of the world except the tropics, not limited to the 'Andes' of this world.

Of course, I would also like to thank myself for my spirit of not giving up~

Camp, bonfire, frying pan.

Seeing the girl humming and humming, she couldn't stop eating the potato chips, raised her eyebrows and said:

"It's delicious~ Is it worth taking a little risk? We can all eat such good food in the future!

And this thing is not only delicious for fried potato chips, but also boiled, mashed, stewed mashed potatoes, roasted chicken with potatoes, ahem, roasted birds, they are all delicious too! "

"..."

Ginger Red Bean wanted to refute, but it was too fragrant...

Mouth blocked by food, unable to speak.

But after a while, when she finished eating this in her bowl, she wiped the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and after she finished eating, she could start complaining:

"Generally, that's it, compared with life."

"..."

"Anyway, next time if you appear in such an abnormal and irrational situation again, I will definitely hold you back."

Jiang Hongdou looked at Ji Cheng seriously and said, "Food crops are good, but do you still eat them after death? We are best alive!"

"Well, you're right..."

Ji Cheng sighed softly and nodded: "It's not advisable to die. You will remind me more in the future, but anyway, the result is good now, right?"

"Hmph, so-so."

"Then you still plant..."

Ji Cheng pointed to the two baskets of potatoes they dug up with a pole and said, "If it's really mediocre, we won't grow them, we'll eat them all."

"Do not......"

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Hongdou gave Ji Cheng a gouged look, and immediately changed her words: "Plant, plant now!"

......

......

After eating and drinking enough, the first piece of 'good land' was officially reclaimed.

The field site was chosen below the camp, close to the water source of the river, for the simple reason that it is convenient for drainage and irrigation.

However, it was not too close to the river, where there were many rocks and sand, which was not conducive to the growth of crops, so we only chose a place without trees to open up wasteland.

As for the tools for reclamation, ah, the stone ax is the most perfect tool!

Of course, under the premise of not having shovels, plows and other agricultural tools...

I don't want to, the more I think about it, the sadder I get, this backward material condition...

Ji Cheng sighed, pulled himself together again, and started to have sex, making holes with stone axes, sweating on the ground.

Jiang Hongdou stayed in the camp and was responsible for another thing——

Choose the big and round ones from the two baskets of potatoes, cut off the excess rhizomes with a knife, keep the bud eyes, and prepare to plant in the ground.

As for the ugly and crooked ones, they should be kept for themselves.

This is the core idea of ​​selective breeding: the good ones are planted, the bad ones are eaten.

While natural wild potatoes are already a good variety, they can be even better.

Plant the best ones in the ground forever so they will eat better and better later.

Two weeks later, due to immature tools and inexperienced people, it took a little more time, and a field of about half an acre was finally reclaimed.

Considering the end of spring and manpower, this is already the limit.

Ji Cheng has tried his best to pick out the rocks, loosen the soil, and provide a good growth environment for the potatoes to be planted and Target No. [-] and No. [-].

After the reclamation was over, he leaned on a stone ax and looked at the fruits of hard work these days, thinking about whether there was room for improvement in the field under the current conditions.

After thinking for a while, it really reminded him of one.

Ji Cheng's eyes lit up, he patted his head, and said to Jiang Hongdou beside him:

"Don't plant it first! I'll go back to the camp and get the plant ash!"

"Eh?"

Ginger Red Bean was using a knife to roughly evenly cut the potatoes into chunks according to the bud eyes. Hearing this, he was startled.

When Ji Cheng ran back with the jar of plant ashes again, she asked puzzledly, "Why did you bring this here?"

"This is fertilizer~"

Ji Cheng put down the jar and laughed: "The main ingredient in plant ash is called potassium carbonate.

In addition to this it also contains some phosphorus.

The three elements of plant growth nutrition nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, including the second, are absolute fertilizers! "

"Huh? Chemical name? Potassium carbonate?"

Jiang Hongdou blinked, thought for a while and said, "Oh, just like potatoes, you also call them potatoes, and they are called potato chips after frying? Two names?"

"Eh? No, no, no..."

Ji Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and explained: "Potatoes and potatoes are simply called differently.
