Dominate the ancient academy
Chapter 22 Planting
There is no lunch at this time, and you can only have some snacks to fill your stomach. However, you can rest for half an hour. Of course, there are other students who continue to study.
The students of the martial arts department knew that he was going to make a bet, and many of them came to ask her about it. The martial arts department of the academy has always been suppressed by the liberal arts department, and they really hope to fight back.
Several students came to inquire about the news and confirmed that the crop newly discovered by Shu Xiaoxiao could produce at least 1,000 kilograms per mu. The students from the military science department decided to give it a try. They were still young and could afford to lose, but if they won, they would be far ahead of the liberal arts students.
You know, most students in the military science department need to fight on the battlefield. It is really not easy to climb up. Even if your grades are good, they are still judged by their military achievements. The risk factor is too high.
But it is different for liberal arts. As the path for liberal arts is much easier than that for military examinations, it is also easier to climb up, so there has always been some comparison between the liberal arts and military examinations. However, military examinations do not really have much advantage, and their eloquence cannot compare to those of the talented scholars. Therefore, the relationship between liberal arts and military examination students is usually not very good.
If Shu Xiaoxiao can succeed this time, it will also be able to dampen the enthusiasm of the liberal arts.
Shu Xiaoxiao did not attend the afternoon class and went to the back mountain with the expectations of her classmates from the Department of Military Science.
When Shu Xiaoxiao arrived, there were still six people working in the back mountain. Before, people thought that one student could only work on one acre of land at most, so here there were only two people working on one acre of land. Now Shu Xiaoxiao was responsible for ten acres of land alone, and most of the work had been done yesterday. So Shu Xiaoxiao had instructed yesterday that six people would be enough today.
These six people worked very quickly, and by the time Shu Xiaoxiao arrived, they had almost finished planting the wheat.
"Mr. Ye, we have already soaked yesterday's sweet potato chunks in water. Would you like to come over and take a look?" Huo Feng said.
They put the sweet potato pieces into the water according to Master Ye's instructions. As it was their first time, they were worried about something going wrong, so they decided to ask Master Ye for instructions. The Crown Prince and Principal Chu were both keeping an eye on these things, so he couldn't be careless.
"Okay, I'll go over with you and take a look."
These people have never seen sweet potatoes, so she should go over and take a look.
Shu Xiaoxiao discovered that their yard was bigger than the dormitory they lived in, but the yard was not as exquisite as the dormitory. There were only two big trees, and now only a few large pots in the yard were somewhat conspicuous.
Shu Xiaoxiao walked closer and saw that there were indeed sweet potato chunks inside. After a night, some small pieces had actually emerged from them, but if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see them.
But it can also be seen that these people are indeed very careful and did a good job. The placement of the sweet potato pieces and the depth of the water are exactly as she said.
"That's it. You've done a great job. You don't have to move these basins. Just make sure to add water. When the sprouts grow to three or four inches, you can plant them."
"Yes, we will definitely pay attention to adding water."
After making sure that there was no problem here, Shu Xiaoxiao went back. She had to chat with those young seedlings to see if they needed anything else.
The few of them were very skillful, and when Shu Xiaoxiao and Huo Feng returned, the wheat had already been planted.
"Sir, what else do we need to do?" After Huo Feng saw that all the wheat had been planted, Shu Xiaoxiao came over to ask before she said anything else. They knew nothing about farming and just followed orders.
"There's nothing to do now. Just do what I say with the sweet potato pieces. Since you don't live far away, come over often to check on them. Weeding and pest control should be done in a timely manner. As for watering, just wait for my instructions."
"Yes, son."
"Okay, you can go back now. I'll let you know if I need anything. We don't need so many people on the land right now. Just keep two of them."
Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the ten acres and three points of land, and walked to the sweet potato seedlings with a sense of accomplishment: "Little sweet potato, how do you feel now?"
"I feel great, little baby. There is enough nutrition here. I like it here. Thank you, little baby!" The baby voice was full of joy.
"As long as you like it, if any of you are thirsty or lack fertilizer, please tell me immediately. I will come every two or three days at most and you can always find someone to water, weed and remove insects."
"Okay, thanks darling."
The ten acres of land have been arranged, five acres of wheat, five acres of sweet potatoes, which is no problem. Although the peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers in the three acres of land are very vibrant, it just feels awkward that the three acres of land are not full.
This is the vegetable garden she prepared for herself. She will feel a sense of accomplishment only when it is full. It feels such a waste looking at the empty land.
There are another ten acres of land. If no one is planting there, she will plant there too. There is still a lot of fertilizer left, which is definitely enough for these ten acres of land.
If not, just plant ten acres of wheat. There are no sweet potato seeds, but wheat seeds should be fine and the yield can be increased by at least half.
After a whole morning of classes, Shu Xiaoxiao really didn't want to go back. She wanted to rest. If she went back and was discovered, she might be punished for skipping classes. It would be better to stay here. When Huo Feng and the others were carrying water, they seemed to be not far away. Now she could just go over and take a look.
If she could catch a fish, it would be her lunch. The snack just now really just made her not hungry, but her mouth was still very lonely.
There is a stream at the foot of the slope of the field. When Shu Xiaoxiao walked to the end of the field, she saw a two-meter-wide stream. The water was clear and the ripples sparkled under the sunlight. There were green grass and clusters of wild flowers in the stream. If it were in modern times, this clear stream alone could be a tourist attraction.
Shu Xiaoxiao walked into the stream and saw that the water was about as high as an adult's waist. Most of the fish in it were as small as fry, and the largest was only as wide as a palm. The bigger fish should be in the deep water.
These little fish were very smart. When they heard the sound, they jumped under the water and swam away quickly. Looking at the agile appearance of these fish, it was impossible to compensate her for her lunch.
There must be big fish in the deep water, but unfortunately Shu Xiaoxiao can neither swim nor bring any fishing gear, nor does she have the skill to catch fish with just a stick. She is worried that it will not be worth it if she loses the money.
But it seems that there should be salted duck eggs by the stream. She remembered that when she was a child, she and her friends picked salted duck eggs by the river. Whoever found one, they would gather together and look at it against the sun to see if it had a single yolk or a double yolk. If it had a double yolk, it would definitely attract the envious eyes of all the friends.
Now when I think about it, picking up a double-yolk duck egg without any worries is like picking up the whole world. I was really happy. Looking at the grass by the stream, Shu Xiaoxiao feels that she can now relive the joy of picking duck eggs.
"Shenbao, let's pick up duck eggs. When the time comes, we'll pickle them. Peel off the eggshells and take a bite. Mmm, they're fresh, fine, tender, loose, sandy, and oily. A bite is full of oil, soft and delicate, and especially delicious. I'll let you smell the flavor later."
At that time, it will be delicious to have a piece of steamed bun or a bowl of porridge with the duck egg.
Shenbao: "......"
"Duck eggs, duck eggs...where are you?" Shu Xiaoxiao didn't care at first, but the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to eat it. No, she had to find more and pickle them today.
"Are you looking for duck eggs?" a tiny voice sounded.
Oh, yes, she can ask these plants for help: "Yes, Xiaocao, do you know where there are duck eggs?"
"Yes, there are many wild ducks laying eggs here. There are seven of them in front of you on the left."
Shu Xiaoxiao ran over to take a look and saw that there were indeed six of them: "Thank you, Xiaocao."
"You're welcome. There's more in front of you. Just walk straight ahead and you'll see it."
With the help of Xiaocao, Shu Xiaoxiao found a total of 66 duck eggs and also found leeks by the river, adding new varieties to her small vegetable garden.
There were too many duck eggs, so Shu Xiaoxiao put them in three piles and then remembered the location of the leeks. Shu Xiaoxiao strolled to find Huo Feng. They had enough backpacks and other things, so she could come over to get the duck eggs and transplant the leeks back.
