Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

Xu Dongsheng also followed Xu Dazhuang back to his home.

After Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang returned home, Xu Dongsheng took out the water that he had put in the pot when he went out and gave it to Xu Dazhuang to soak his feet. Then he went to the yard and fetched cold water to rinse his body from head to toe. It was a very hot day, and Xu Dongsheng had been strengthened by the pill during the day, so it felt so refreshing to have the cold water rinsed over his body.

"Dad, don't drink anymore tonight and go to bed early. You still have work tomorrow."

After the shower, Xu Dazhuang had already finished soaking his feet and was sitting in the living room chewing peanuts and drinking a nightcap. Xu Dongsheng said something to Xu Dazhuang and then went back to his room.

"Oh, I see."

Xu Dazhuang took one last sip, put two peanuts in his mouth, then took the wine and the plate of peanuts back to the room.

After Xu Dongsheng returned to the room, he did not check the changes on the yellow list immediately, because he already knew that when he was having dinner and chatting with Xu Dazhuang at home, the sentence he completed must be "Tong Ren Yu Zong", but there was one line of the hexagram he did not complete, which was the fourth line "乘其墉, 弗克攻, 吉".

This line of hexagram was originally about siege and war, but it can also be said to be about doing something. If it fails the first time, it will succeed the second time. What happened today is that what has not been accomplished is the study of the situation in the hemispherical space. Now we understand the collection range of the hemispherical space and the entry and exit of living things. The only thing left is time to study it clearly.

According to his understanding of the hexagram, either a quarter of an hour is six hours, or a quarter of an hour is a day. He checked the growth of the crops before coming back, and now he can confirm it by entering the hemisphere space again. In this way, the lighting conditions of the fourth hexagram should be met.

Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng entered the hemispherical space with his consciousness, and saw that the corn, sweet potatoes and other crops in the hemispherical space had already sprouted and grown.

As for the sweet potatoes, they were covered with vines all around. There were only a few sweet potatoes originally, but because he threw the sweet potatoes in and planted them without taking care of them, the vines that grew on the sweet potatoes had taken root close to the ground. Xu Dongsheng was from a rural family in his previous life, so he estimated that these vines that had taken root would produce sweet potatoes under the vines.

In order to concentrate nutrients, the sweet potato vines in rural areas will be turned over, which prevents them from taking deep roots. Even the roots that grow are dried up by the sun because they are turned over, so they can only grow leaves by pulling the vines. However, Xu Dongsheng is not in a hurry now, because these are only the first batch of seeds, so there is no need to pull the sweet potato vines apart to prevent them from taking root.

And Xu Dongsheng has to do one more thing, which is cuttings. This is the most important thing, because the mother potato of sweet potatoes will basically only grow vines, and the new sweet potatoes around them will be very small, so you have to use the vines to cut them, so that big sweet potatoes can grow.

But the time is not right now. Wait until the fourth line is lit up before doing these things.

"Sure enough, the time difference in this hemisphere should be one quarter of an hour equals one day. Otherwise, it has only been a few hours since I came back in the afternoon. If one quarter of an hour equals one day, half a month or nearly a month should have passed in this hemisphere. If calculated this way, it can also fit the growth cycle of corn and rice."

Looking at the growth of corn, barley and rice in front of him, Xu Dongsheng has calculated the time difference between this hemisphere and the outside world. That is, one quarter of an hour in the outside world is one day in this space. If you calculate carefully, one quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, one hour is four quarters of an hour, and one day is ninety-six quarters of an hour, which is equivalent to one day in the outside world and ninety-six days in the hemisphere, which is more than three months.

"We can plant corn crops today and harvest them tomorrow. It's really great. Even though the land is not big, we can't eat them all. We can't eat them all."

After verifying his guess, Xu Dongsheng almost laughed out loud. Just when he had calculated the time difference in the hemisphere space, he felt a vibration in his mind. Xu Dongsheng regained consciousness and then came to the yellow list.

The second sentence on the yellow board, Tongren Yuzong, and the fourth sentence, Ji, were all lit up in gold. And behind the second sentence, there was an image of a brush. Behind the fourth sentence, there was a painting.

Before Xu Dongsheng could react, the brush and the painting broke away from the yellow list and flew towards him. Xu Dongsheng's consciousness returned to his body, and then a large amount of knowledge burst out of his mind and was slowly absorbed and integrated by him.

It turns out that this brush and this painting represent two skills, one is proficiency in calligraphy, and the other is proficiency in painting.

With these two skills, Xu Dongsheng's level in calligraphy and painting, apart from the bonus of other aspects, can be said to be the best in calligraphy and painting alone. Unfortunately, in the art field, real ability is one aspect, and social skills are another.

But at least with this skill, Xu Dongsheng won't have to write like a chicken scratching his hand in the future.

"Great stuff. It actually strengthened my hands and eyesight, and my memory is as easy as using my fingers."

After integrating the skills of calligraphy and painting, Xu Dongsheng looked at his hands and found that they had become more agile and had a little more muscle memory.

If there was no brush at home, Xu Dongsheng would have wanted to give it a try. However, Xu Dongsheng did not care about these things and was ready to see the changes in the yellow list again. However, after trying, Xu Dongsheng found that he could not enter. It seemed to be the same as the previous hexagram. It was already completed, so he had to wait until the next hexagram was opened before he could continue to enter.

"By the way, now that we have completed one hexagram, let's see if we can start the next one."

Then Xu Dongsheng had a thought, and three copper plates with the secrets of the universe appeared in his palm. The projection of the copper plates floated above his palm. Xu Dongsheng silently recited the divination, but the copper plates remained motionless.

"It seems that there are only two hexagrams a day, or even two hexagrams a day, a month, or even a year. Otherwise, if something as powerful as the hemisphere space can be given every day, then my golden finger that has no intelligence and can only rely on my own exploration will be too amazing. At that time, I might as well just lie down. Let's wait and see tomorrow."

Xu Dongsheng did not hold out for the highest of expectations. If I get it, I am lucky. If I lose it, it is my fate. Even if I cannot tell fortunes tomorrow and cannot get anything, with the hemisphere of space, at least I will not starve to death, and I may even be able to achieve great things.

After taking back the copper coin projection and shrinking the copper coin mark, Xu Dongsheng came to the hemispherical space again. Looking at the lush sweet potato vines, Xu Dongsheng had an idea and directly pulled those sweet potato vines one by one from the sweet potato heads that were originally planted.

As expected, many sweet potato vines had grown roots on the ground and dug into the ground, growing small sweet potatoes. However, it was not quite what Xu Dongsheng had expected, because he did not expect that the sweet potatoes grown from the sweet potato vines that took root in the ground would be quite large, at least several times larger than the sweet potatoes he had planted. You know, he had eight sweet potatoes weighing two taels, and each one was only twice the size of an adult's thumb.

But these are just the small sweet potatoes grown under the vines, and they are half a pound in size. They are really big. They are the same as the ones Xu Dongsheng grew in his previous life using fertilizer and good varieties.

Then Xu Dongsheng had an idea, and cut all the sweet potato vines into three-leaf sections and planted them in the open space. The vines derived from these eight sweet potatoes were enough to support the vines.

After the cuttings were completed, Xu Dongsheng looked at the sweet potatoes that had grown from the roots of the original sweet potato vines that had grown on the ground. They actually weighed 320 kilograms. These were only half-ripe sweet potatoes. If they were fully ripe for harvest, they would be much bigger.

As for why Xu Dongsheng could see it, it was of course because he was satisfied. This was an ability that was a fusion of mental arithmetic and weighing skills.

These more than 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, even if calculated as coarse grains, would cost dozens of yuan. But these days, what is money?

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. Now the countryside is implementing the communal canteen system, and not many people have food, so they take it to the Pigeon Market outside Dongzhimen to sell. The Pigeon Market is a semi-legal market where you can buy a lot of things, but if you want food, even if there is any, it is definitely not much.

There is another place where you can buy food, and that is the black market. It opens at midnight and closes at dawn. It is directly open to the outside world and has everything, from small items like melon seeds, peanuts and various receipts to large items like peanuts as big as a palm. Almost as long as you can afford it, you can get it.

However, the risks are also different. In the pigeon market, the government will not take action unless the people report it. Usually, no one from above will investigate and they will turn a blind eye. But it is different with the black market. If it is discovered, the people caught will be sentenced to jail for speculation and even executed in serious cases.

Therefore, food is extremely precious. Xu Dongsheng, who knows the future, knows very well that food will be even more precious in the next two years.

Therefore, Xu Dongsheng certainly knew that owning a hemispherical space meant owning a super large granary.

It’s a pity that it is still too small and cannot be taken out openly. Otherwise, I don’t know if this is a parallel world or it is really Xu Dongsheng’s sixty years ago in his previous life. This huge country of Middle-earth will definitely undergo a tremendous change.

"Forget it, I'll change it when I'm able."

Xu Dongsheng thought a lot and finally decided to be content with the present and wait until he has the ability to change the Central Plains or even the world.
