Chapter 114 Rice Peanuts, Totem Pole, Iron Body
The next is the highlight - among the seeds and plants obtained from the exchange, rice appeared as expected, and both water- and land-based rice. Read М
What surprised Gu Ke was that there were peanuts.
There are many places where this thing is planted, but there are none in the places he went to before.
In Zhoushan Village, someone secretly planted some "wild fields" in the mountains and then secretly picked them to eat, including peanuts.
After all, peanuts in shells can be stored for a long time if they are properly preserved, and there is no problem using them as seeds.
For the villagers who planted them secretly, a few peanuts are nothing at all, but for Gu Ke who owns the fairy field, it is another matter.
Peanut oil is a good thing, with a high yield, rich fragrance and golden color.
It is not worse than soybean oil, just enough to change the taste of the valley.
The peanut cake after oil extraction is similar to the bean cake after soybean oil extraction, both of which are high-protein feed.
The difference is that the oil extraction rate of oil extraction in ancient times was lower, and there was more oil left in the peanut cake, so it was no problem to give it to people as food.
Boiled into sweet soup or fried, it is much more delicious than bean cakes.
Secondly, boiled peanuts, fried peanuts, crispy peanuts, stewed peanuts, etc. can be used as a single dish or as a side dish for other dishes.
Crushed peanuts are a versatile seasoning that can be used in everything from cooking to baking desserts.
Peanut butter is not necessarily only used to spread on bread and biscuits. It is also equally delicious to spread it on hot white steamed buns or fried brown steamed bun slices.
Just the three crops of lotus root, rice, and incarnation, although Gu Ke did not harvest soul source this time, he also felt it was worth it.
The location of the roadside stall is a very metaphysical question. It is not that customers can get what crops there are in a certain area.
It is also safe to get it earlier.
Just wait a few days, and the No. 2 fairy field, which is specially planted in batches, will harvest the purple wheat, and then you can plant rice and peanuts together.
Why not plant them separately? Because Gu Ke missed these two things too much, and he didn't want to wait ten days to taste any of them.
The final harvest was the more than 1,000 kilograms of fish that were brought back by chance.
Because there was no systematic building for raising animals, the roadside stalls could not bring back live animals, so the ones brought back had been "quickly frozen" by the Bi Hai Jin and died.
However, the more than 1,000 kilograms of fish were fresh fish, not salted fish, and they were kept in the warehouse without fear of spoilage.
As an occasional change, it was enough for everyone to eat for two or three months, so the Tian Fu Tong Bao was not wasted.
…
A few days later, the rice and peanuts were planted.
The lotus root placed in the Xiantian large vat also began to grow, and even a few small flower buds emerged.
It was November.
Gu Ke was in a good mood because of the good harvest last time, so he decided to take advantage of the situation and set up a stall for the first time this month.
The result did not disappoint him.
The projection location this time was Nanye Country, near a small village in the deep mountains called Liangshan Village.
Just happened to see a demon soldier attacking the village, and it was screaming so loudly that it could be heard from a mile away.
Without Gu Ke saying anything, Bai Suqing immediately went out to check what was going on.
Then, the Jingtao Qianxue Palm that she had just practiced had a good target, and she attacked it violently.
The huge demon soldier that looked a bit like a pig and screamed like a pig being slaughtered had almost no power to resist. It was wrapped up layer by layer by the Bi Hai Jin on the spot and turned into a "quick-frozen pig".
After Bai Suqing attacked it, she was satisfied and smashed it into several large pieces of quick-frozen pork with one blow. Together with the two children who were in high spirits, they dragged it back to the small building.
Gu Ke recovered the blood core and obtained Soul Source 35.
Those large pieces of frozen meat can also be used to make exclusive fertilizer for the fairy field, so there is no waste at all.
Sister Bai's appearance, like the sea of blood and energy that crushed the pig demon, instantly stunned the mountain people in Liangshan Village. They quickly followed the direction she flew back and found the roadside stall to thank her.
What was waiting for them was Gu Ke, who was wearing the skin of Grandpa Shennong, with an indifferent and unfathomable face.
The mountain people were even more surprised when they saw Bai Suqing standing behind him respectfully.
However, they also did not choose food, but chose the martial arts Push Mountain Palm.
This idea was the same as Li Xiuer's.
What they lacked was not food, but the power to obtain and protect food.
This small village was located in the Nanye Mountains. Although there were many small villages within hundreds of miles, it was far away from the sects and wealthy families outside.
There were no people like Li Xiuer and Wang Erdan who attracted his attention, but there was one thing that felt a little strange.
That was the guardian totem pole used for worship in the village.
The four sides of the black stone square pillar were also engraved with various natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and fire, as well as various beasts. In the end, a person who was a circle larger than the others grabbed their hands, stepped on their feet, and held them in his mouth and on his head.
The general meaning should be to describe a great ancestor god who subdued these things, protected the tribesmen, and allowed them to survive here.
Of course, the lines are very abstract, and Gu Ke is also guessing.
What's interesting is that this totem pole has a faint spirituality in his perception. It doesn't look like a living person or a weird thing, but it makes his heart inexplicably palpitate.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to do a small experiment.
After explaining the details to Bai Suqing and the two children and calculating the time, he made a separate transaction with the elder with his mind and exchanged a lot of dried game from the villagers.
At this time, Bai Suqing's Bi Hai Jin rose like a huge wave in the sky, and the Jingtao Qianxue Palm also brought a huge rumble.
Then, the green huge waves surrounded her and Gu Ke, and slowly fell in front of the totem pole in the village.
While the people in the village were still at the small building, he took out the nameless pen while Bai Suqing's blood was covering him.
He enlarged it to look like a bamboo pen, and without dipping it in ink, he directly poured his own spiritual thoughts into it and carved the word "Agriculture" on the totem pole.
Bamboo pen has no damage attribute? Gu Ke himself has it, and it is very tall.
The extremely hard black stone under the tip of the bamboo pen is no different from tofu, and the whole word "Agriculture" is done in a moment.
Its position is just above the huge human figure, vaguely in the center of the wind, rain, thunder and lightning fire beast.
He didn't know what this totem pole would look like in the future, but he did it at his convenience and without any trouble.
After writing the words, he put away the bamboo pen, took out a Tianfu Tongbao, threw it into the air, and threw it ten feet high on purpose, then chose to use it and released the purple wheat.
A golden light shone brightly, and then a pound of purple wheat seeds with purple light slowly fell from the sky and fell into his hands.
This series of actions, of course, is to maximize the "special effects" of the purple wheat.
In ancient times, this was more intimidating than anything else.
The seeds were handed over to the elders of the village, and they were told to plant them well. Eating them could speed up the progress of martial arts training.
From the transaction contract, the elders knew that the purple wheat was a different species and extremely precious, and they bowed down to express their gratitude on the spot.
There were a few people in Liangshan Village, with only a few dozen households and more than 200 people.
But they had the habit of worshipping totem poles regularly, and they respected Bai Suqing, who killed monsters like killing pigs, as if he were a god.
When they ate purple wheat, they might worship the totem pole as the incarnation of Shennong.
After doing the last thing, Gu Ke didn't say much, and asked Sister Bai to roll up the two people with the Bi Hai Jin and slowly return.
At the roadside stall, the two children had packed everything and closed the door immediately when they came back.
The small building swayed slightly, penetrated into the void, and disappeared.
The villagers who witnessed all this were both respectful and fearful, and they hurriedly bowed to the air for a while.
…
On the second day of signing in, Gu Ke got another non-grade martial arts called Tieshankao (bound) from the pig demon.
Its characteristic is rigid body. When the mind is there, the body can be as hard as iron and stone, and it is difficult to be injured by the huge force of swords and knives.
Well, the disadvantage is probably that it is not very resistant to cold, and it may not be fireproof.
However, this Tieshankao is also simple and easy to practice.
Although it is not as tough as the Black Evil Palm in improving the basic physical quality, it is much stronger in terms of defense, which makes up for the defensive shortcomings of several system non-grade martial arts.
The rigid body characteristic and the toughness characteristic, one hard and one soft, cooperate with each other, and the effect is more outstanding. It is an extremely practical martial arts.
Gu Ke immediately shared this good thing with Bai Suqing and the two children.
At least you are no longer afraid of bumps and bumps when working - toughness is just thick skin, and it will still hurt if the skin is broken and scratched, and it hits hard.
With a rigid body, this kind of minor injuries and pains are eliminated from the source.
Moreover, after returning from the stall, within two days, the system prompt appeared: "Liangshan Village erected a tablet for Shennong (Shennong Niangniang) and held a formal worship, providing 2 units of soul source.
What Niangniang? Gu Ke was surprised, and he used his mind to see that Shennong Niangniang was... Bai Suqing?
However, the system did not completely distinguish him from her, but counted them as one.
Although Liangshan Village had only more than 200 people, it contributed 2 units of soul source in this worship.
Before the end of November, Liangshan Village contributed another 1 unit of soul source, which the system showed was accumulated from the daily scattered worship of the mountain people.
In contrast, Xiongjia Village, which had several times more population, only contributed 1 unit of soul source when erecting the tablet. Unit of soul source, and then it took several months to accumulate 1 unit of soul source.
Even for this, Gu Ke really couldn't dislike it.
Most other villages haven't put up signs yet, and they don't give him a unit of soul source.
Gu Ke just laughed it off.
From his previous life to this life, he learned a very important thing, that is, don't have too high expectations of human nature.
This has nothing to do with good or evil, but if you want to survive, the nature of any creature is to benefit itself.
The saying that if a person does not work for himself, heaven and earth will punish him can also be understood as-everything is done for others, leaving no room for others, it is easiest to die, and heaven and earth will not let him live too long.
As a spirit, or a group, such people are great.
But as the continuation of the biological genes, they have undoubtedly lost all possibilities.
Many selfless behaviors are called great precisely because most people cannot do it.
Selfishness is human instinct.
So Gu Ke never has high expectations of people, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with being a little selfish.
What most people hate is the extreme selfishness of satisfying themselves at the expense of others' interests.
In addition to the soul source harvest, the transaction with Liangshan Village also obtained dozens of plants with different functions, many of which are new varieties that have never been obtained.
When trading purple wheat, Gu Ke also took dozens of bacon, plus the previous The fish meat obtained from Zhoushan Village a few days ago has brought meat flavor to the valley for several months.
Of course, it is only meat flavor. I put a little bit of it in every dish to get its oily and meaty aroma.
If I really want to make a big dish of fish and meat, this amount is not enough for the big stomach women in the valley to eat for a few days.
...
In the days that followed, Gu Ke concentrated on farming.
Liangshan Village is located in a mountainous area with a relatively humid and hot climate. Among the plants traded, there is star anise, also known as big anise, star anise, and big anise.
There are many other spices or medicinal materials? Unfortunately, he doesn't know them.
After all, not all spices are like star anise, with neat eight corners, which can be recognized at a glance.
Many of the spices he ate were cooked in dishes, and he had never seen fresh plants and fruits.
Liangshan Village is still in the Nanye Mountains, basically isolated from the outside world. Many plants are local and completely different from the outside world.
First plant them in the fairy field, optimize the breeding, pick them daily, and store them for future use.
Then sow some of the optimized seeds on the ordinary land at the foot of the mountain, put some Jinkela, and let them grow on their own.
This batch of seeds and plants whose functions are still unclear has been processed.
The most important thing is the rice and peanuts planted before.
There are two types of rice seeds, one is rice planted near the water source at the foot of the mountain, and the other is dry rice scattered in the mountains and almost semi-wild.
Rice has a high yield and is the staple food of most of the southern part of Dawu, as well as the Donghai and Nanye areas.
Dry rice has a much lower yield, so it does not need too much care. Harvesting more or less is just a little supplement for the family.
After all, many mountains belong to sects and wealthy families, and regular farming requires paying a fixed rent.
With the yield of dry rice, it will only lose money, or even a huge loss.
People in Zhoushan Village just scatter a few dry rice seeds in the corners, just as if it is wild.
Even if they catch it, it is at most accidentally picking some "wild vegetables" on the mountain, which is more cost-effective than paying rent every year.
These are what Gu Ke heard when the two children asked about the origin of dry rice.
At that time, I felt that Da Wu might not be able to hold on for long.
A large area of mountains near Zhoushan Village belongs to the Liu family, and there are very few self-cultivating farmers and small landlords.
Some people still have their own land, but most of them are very small and can't support their families at all, and they have to be tenants of the Liu family.
This situation is not only in Zhoushan Village, only those who have gone into the mountains like Xiongjia Village and Liangshan Village can avoid some exploitation.
In recent years, strange monsters and demons have appeared more and more frequently, and their strength is also increasing. There are more and more deserted places in the wild.
The landlord class is still accelerating the monopoly of land and madly exploiting farmers, as if they think that farmers will never die.
People with discerning eyes, such as Bai Suqing and the two girls Meizhu who have traveled outside, have noticed the bad signs of the Dawu Dynasty.
However, in this valley, only Miss Qin was qualified to worry about the Dawu Dynasty.
Unfortunately, she has been kicked out, and her worries are useless.
Gu Ke chose to optimize the dry rice. Twelve days after planting, the first season matured, and the low-quality rice turned into low-quality rouge rice.
The rice after husking is like dyed with a light rouge, and Gu Ke was lazy and named it rouge rice.
The edible effect is similar to purple wheat. From then on, pasta and rice can be served as staple food on the table in turn.
However, this rouge rice is a bit sticky, but it is much worse than the glutinous rice that Gu Ke ate in his previous life, and it is between ordinary rice and glutinous rice.
