From space to the world, it takes trillions of years
Chapter 39 Peach Sapling
The market on the eighth day of the first lunar month was bustling with people and very lively.
The custom here is to stay at home on the first day of the New Year.
On the second and third days of the Chinese New Year, neighbors visit each other.
By the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, married daughters began to return to their parents' homes, and the roads in towns and villages gradually became more crowded.
Before the Spring Festival, we have to prepare for the New Year at home, and these days we have been welcoming and seeing off guests.
Therefore, the eighth day of the first lunar month is generally regarded as the opening day of the New Year market.
Chen Yu walked aimlessly on South Street.
It’s the first time I’ve been to the market in over ten days. I bought some seasonings like oil and salt, and also saw what was new.
It was winter and there was actually not much to buy at the market.
Sometimes, we didn’t buy enough things for the New Year, and now we have to hurry to buy them.
Most people are just busy for a few days and need someone to talk to.
Therefore, most of the things sold on the street are snacks prepared for the New Year and items for giving as gifts.
After walking for a while, Chen Yu suddenly found someone selling saplings nearby.
There were three or four piles of what looked like branches in front of a couple, and several people were picking and choosing beside them.
The coldest time has passed, and now is the best time to plant various seedlings.
Every year just after the New Year, people start selling seedlings at the market, and they continue to sell them until late spring.
Chen Yu went forward to take a look. It must be said that the current saplings are indeed ugly.
There are a few dry buds scattered on the bare branches, and I don’t know if they can survive.
The male stall owner was wearing a tattered straw hat and was sullen.
Don't shout, just stare at the people watching the seedlings, and tell them not to scratch the bark of the seedlings with their fingernails.
The weather is so cold that your breath turns to frost.
The proprietress was a peasant woman in her forties or fifties, with many cracks on her face from long hours of hard work and dry weather.
She spoke in a gruff voice to several hesitant customers: “This is what the seedlings look like now.
Don’t look at it as withered, it is better than those that have already sprouted leaves.”
One person shook his head and left after hearing it, while the others continued to watch again and again.
Sometimes this is the truth, but if there is no hope at first glance, few people can persevere.
There are not many varieties of seedlings, only six: albizzia, tea tree, lacquer tree, and peach.
Chen Yu leaned over, picked up the sapling, put it in front of his eyes and pretended to examine it carefully.
The stall owner did not stop him. As long as you don't pinch the dormant seedlings with your fingertips, they won't be easily damaged.
In fact, Chen Yu directly used his spiritual sense to observe the inside of the sapling.
There was a stream of saliva flowing beneath the brown and dry surface, full of vitality. It seemed that what the stall owner said was true.
He bought six peach saplings, planning to plant two in the yard and four in the space.
The space is a bit bigger, now it covers an area of about two acres.
With the protection of Jade Dew, you don’t have to worry about the plants not growing.
After thinking about it, he bought ten more tea saplings and prepared to plant them in the space.
A peach tree cost eight cents, a tea tree cost five cents. The stall owner charged him a hundred cents and gave him two albizzia saplings.
What a good business man. Chen Yu didn't care. The quality of the saplings was good, so a few cents more didn't matter.
These two Albizia albizzia trees are planted on both sides of the yard, and they look very beautiful when they bloom.
Chen Yu returned to the yard and planted the seedlings one by one.
There is an Albizia albizzia tree on both sides of the gate, and two peach saplings are planted in the open space on the left side of the yard.
The tea seedlings and the remaining peach seedlings were planted all over the space.
The peaches in this world are generally not very delicious, probably because there are no breeding and grafting methods like in previous lives.
When Chen Yu traveled across the Daning Dynasty, he saw peach fruits hanging on the trees on the road.
Not only are the peaches very hairy, but even when ripe they are still green and white, making them difficult to eat.
Most people pick it and make it into candied fruit like apricots.
Chen Yu had previously watered the jujube tree in the yard with some diluted Jade Dew liquid.
The dates, which were once the size of peanuts, become big and red, and taste sweet and refreshing.
I think this Jade Dew can also improve the taste of fruit.
I wonder if the peaches on this peach tree will become delicious and juicy after he waters it.
The next morning, when he applied the Jade Dew of Creation to the medicinal herbs, he also applied some to the saplings as well.
The seedlings that were watered began to sprout buds and grow tender green leaves.
Of course, this only applies to the space where it is spring all year round.
If the saplings in the yard sprout at this time, they will be frozen by the severe cold in a short time.
The flower buds of the small tree in the space have been hanging on the tree without any changes.
Chen Yu subsequently gave birth to the medicine for another fifty or sixty years, wanting to stick with it and see how it would grow.
With the endless supply of Jade Dew of Creation to support it, the time should not be too far away.
To Chen Yu's surprise, the wheat in the space had undergone a strange change.
Or two at a time!
In an area the size of one centimeter, two wheat seedlings looked out of place with the others.
Chen Yu observed carefully and found that the two mutant wheat seedlings were different from each other.
This one is tall, much taller than ordinary wheat seedlings, with white veins and dense, soft hairs on it.
One of them was about the same height as the other wheat seedlings, with smooth leaves and veins that were a faint red.
He also applied some Jade Dew to the wheat, and the wheat seedlings soon headed for ears, bloomed, and matured.
This time was different from the past. The tall mutant wheat actually completed its life cycle almost at the same time as ordinary wheat.
Chen Yu's eyes focused. He harvested the ordinary wheat first, and then looked at the mutated one again.
The wheat plant was about four feet tall, with eight tillers in total, and produced 462 seeds, more than the mutant rice.
You should know that generally speaking, the yield of wheat is only about half of that of rice.
This mutant wheat seems to be very productive.
Chen Yu put a grain of wheat into his mouth and chewed it, huh?
The wheat was crushed, but almost no spiritual energy leaked out, only slightly higher than the concentration of spiritual energy in the space.
That’s not right. The mutated rice was good for you if you ate it regularly. Why is this wheat different?
I tasted one more and it seemed to be the case.
Chen Yu ripened another wheat plant. Like the previous mutant rice, this one had a growth period of half a year.
When mature, the plant is nearly three feet tall, has six tillers, and produces 247 seeds.
This yield is slightly higher than that of ordinary wheat, but it is almost the same.
What is amazing is that the wheat that grew is blood red and looks quite strange.
Chen Yu picked one to taste. It was full of spiritual energy, but not as good as the golden silk rice.
As the wheat entered his stomach, he could feel a little more blood and energy in his body after the wheat grains were digested.
This trace of blood was insignificant. Even with Chen Yu's keen perception, he suspected that it was just an illusion.
He grabbed another dozen grains of wheat and swallowed them, and his blood energy indeed increased a little.
Good stuff, but it has no effect on him. The blood energy gained from eating a bucket of wheat is not as good as practicing for half an hour.
Chen Yu was not disappointed. If this thing could mutate once, he believed it could mutate twice or even more.
It would be a good thing if the speed of mutation could not keep up with the speed of growth of one's own strength.
