Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Three days later, my fourth uncle was on his way to college in the village ox cart, facing the morning glow and the breeze blowing on his face, which made him feel relaxed and comfortable.

It is now August and it is time to plant potatoes. In the morning, Biyue found her grandparents and told them about what we talked about last time about planting new crops.

Grandma asked first: "Nannan, what is the name of the new grain? Can I go and have a look first?"

Grandpa also nodded, agreeing with grandma's words.

So the three of them went to the shady place next to the woodshed, covered it with straw and put the food in a net bag.

Biyue walked over and pulled away the grass, and saw that many of the potatoes in the bags had begun to sprout. Fortunately, she had bought 300 kilograms of potatoes in advance and packed them into 6 bags, enough to plant one acre of land.

My grandparents saw the bags of round fruits and didn’t recognize them.

"Xiao Yueyue, what is this? I have never seen it before."

"Grandpa, these are potatoes. The minimum yield per mu is 3000 kilograms, and if you take good care of them, the maximum yield can be 8000 kilograms,"

My grandparents had expressions of disbelief on their faces. It seemed that there were no such high-yield crops in Dachang Kingdom. If this were true, it would have caused a sensation in the entire county.

"It's true, you still don't believe me? I've met a fairy."

"Yes, my granddaughter is a very blessed person. How come grandma is confused and has forgotten this?"

"Hahaha!"

When my grandparents laughed, they really looked old and confused.

"It's only sprouting a little bit now. It will be ready to be planted in the field in a few days."

“It rained two days ago, so the soil is too wet. Let’s dry it in the sun for another day today, and tomorrow will be the perfect time to loosen the soil.

"I want to go up the mountain in the afternoon if I have nothing to do. I wonder if my father and second uncle are willing to accompany me."

The three of them came to the front yard, and the grandparents went to look for the eldest son and the second son respectively, and soon they came.

"Yue'er, your grandfather said he wanted to go to the mountains. Your second uncle and I will go with you. It's only around ten o'clock now. If we leave now, we can come back early in the afternoon."

Bi Yue thought about it and agreed, so the three of them started to change clothes, filled three water bags with well water, took a hatchet, sickle, fork, rope, and set off after they were ready.

We met many villagers along the way, who greeted us warmly. Some praised Biyue for her fair and clean skin, and we received many compliments. Dad and second uncle couldn't stop smiling.

Go up the mountain from the east, turn southeast halfway up the mountain, and walk forward. My father and second uncle follow behind Biyue.

Along the way, the air was fresh, the ground was a little moist, and unknown wild flowers on the roadside were blooming brightly.

Sitting down on a large rock, the three people took a break. They had been climbing the mountain for an hour and had sweated a lot. They each held a water bag and drank water.

Bi Yue asked the two if they were hungry. Her father and second uncle said they were not hungry. The three of them rested for a few minutes and started walking forward. The road ahead was flat and easy to walk on. Going further ahead, they saw a large flat land and a forest on the right.

This place is very nice. The flat area is as big as a football field. There are many small shrubs and colorful wild flowers blooming freely. The scenery is really beautiful.

The morning sun was scorching the place, the heat waves were rolling, the sunlight was dazzling, and the three of them were sweating profusely. Fortunately, they were all wearing straw hats and conical hats to block some of the sunlight.

Bi Yue asked the system: "Turn on the treasure hunting function. We will show our skills today."

"Okay, host, there is a large area of ​​medicinal herbs 200 meters ahead. You can get a lot of points by digging them up."

So he called his father and second uncle, went to the designated place, and asked them to wait for a moment.

Bi Yue went to dig up a few herbs first and said to the two, "I dug up four kinds of herbs. You two can take a look and dig them according to this. These are Lysimachia chinensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Pinellia ternata, and Bletilla striata. For now, dig these first. Dig the big ones and save the small ones for seeds."

So I walked to the side and quietly asked the system: "With the three of us as the center, are there any snakes nearby?"

"There are a few, far away from here, about 500 meters away. It's too hot here. Maybe the snakes are afraid of the heat and have run into the woods or hid in the soil."

"Dad, Uncle, you guys dig, I'll collect some plants nearby."

After saying that, he walked to the side and started collecting, taking everything he could.

After half an hour, worried that the two brothers had no water, he came over and handed each of them a 1.5-liter bottle of ice water with ice in it, so that the water would remain cool before the ice melted.

"Yueyue, this water is so cool, and this bottle is so transparent, it looks so beautiful."

"Uncle, this is plastic. It won't break if it falls to the ground."

"It's amazing, what a great stuff." The second uncle seemed to like the bottle very much, so he walked to my father and gave him 1.5 liters of ice water.

The father took the water, put it on his face, and heard his father make a "hiss!" sound.

Bi Yue couldn't help laughing when she saw her father like this: "Daddy, you're so funny. Even if you're hot, you can't just stick to me. It's too cold."

"I just tried it, it's really cold, hahaha!"

The second uncle stood up and watched the father and daughter chatting and laughing, and he was very happy.

So the two brothers dug, and Bi Yue asked the system to scan if there was any danger nearby, and then looked at the medicinal materials, and collected... collected... collected until she felt satisfied. Only then would the points go up.

"Are there any pepper trees? Dig a few and plant them. There are also pepper trees, precious medicinal herbs, and valuable ones. Scan them. This way your points will increase faster."

"Okay, there are two prickly ash trees 10 meters from where we were standing when we first arrived, and the pepper tree you mentioned is 150 meters to the left."

"Okay, let's dig up these two spice trees first."

Then Biyue started treasure hunting, looking for what she needed. She dug a bundle of Panax notoginseng and found five Paris polyphylla plants. Baishao found three and put them all in the locker. She planted Baishao at my doorstep. It is both a medicinal and ornamental flower, which is great.

At noon, Biyue came to a big tree not far from her father and second uncle. It was cool here. She put a small table on it, and put two boxes of Haidilao, a box of self-heating rice, a roasted chicken, a plate of buns, and a plate of vegetables.

Then she called them over. They came over, their faces and bodies were covered with sweat, and they wanted to wash with water. Biyue took some water and poured it into a large basin. The water was cool, so she asked them to wash themselves with towels. After washing their faces and hands, they sat at the table. The lunch boxes and Haidilao were ready, so she opened the lids and asked them to start eating lunch.

The second uncle looked at the small table with so much food and said first, "Yue'er, this is too rich, there are so many delicious foods."

"Xiaoyue, what's in this black bowl? It smells delicious."

"This is Haidilao. The bowl is plastic, the same material as the water bottle."

So the three of them started to eat. The food tasted really good. Biyue ate a box of rice with some vegetables and felt full. The remaining two brothers finished everything.

After a short rest, they dug for another hour and dug up a lot of medicinal herbs. The sun was too hot at noon and they would get heatstroke if they continued like this. So they packed up their tools, tied up the herbs, and went home.
