A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

When Shen Jiaren saw the haystack, she pulled out some straw and walked towards the chicken coop with it.

Shen Jiaren laid the chicken coop on top of the chicken coop. After that, Shen Jiaren was ready to walk out of the mission field.

As a result, Shen Jiaren just walked to the edge of the field and was about to take another look at the task interface. If there was no problem, she would go into the mountains to see what she was going to do.

As a result, Shen Jiaren discovered that a planting task appeared on the task interface panel.

Daily tasks: Planting tasks

Primary Planting Task: Planting Cucumbers

Mission status:

After the manor system detected the items, the manor owner found that some cucumbers had reached maturity and the cucumber seeds among them had reached the conditions for planting, so the planting task this time was to plant cucumbers.

Task introduction:

Given that the planting site and planting conditions in the manor are inconsistent with external conditions, the planting task this time is to plant the cucumber seeds in the ground without discussing planting techniques, external cucumber planting needs, etc.

Shen Jiaren was a little curious when she saw this. She knew what was going on with the cucumbers. After all, she had been eating cucumbers frequently in the past few days. Especially when she came back, Liu Hui and Aunt Zhang Aihua would put some tomatoes or cucumbers in the bamboo basket for her to eat when she came back, so there must be cucumbers. But these cucumber seeds? ? This was a bit confusing.

The cucumbers I brought back some were cut into strips, some were cut into slices, and some were whole. How can I determine which cucumbers have seeds that can be used for planting?

I don't have this ability myself.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren slid down the task interface, and sure enough, she saw the guidance for completing the task objective. Shen Jiaren clicked on the guidance, and suddenly found that the floor plan of the guidance looked familiar. How come it seemed to be the location of the well in her yard?

Shen Jiaren turned around and left the manor and walked towards the well. When she reached the well, she saw that the big red arrow on the guidance interface of the manor task interface was pointing to her own well.

Upon seeing this, Shen Jiaren directly shook up the bamboo basket in the well, opened the lid of the bamboo basket and took a look. Sure enough, there were two cucumbers and two tomatoes in the basket.

Shen Jiaren took out two cucumbers and placed them aside. Then she moved the bamboo basket under the well and began to see which cucumber was ripe and the seeds inside could be used for planting.

Shen Jiaren held a cucumber in each hand. She looked at the instructions on the task guidance interface pointing to the cucumber in her left hand. After Shen Jiaren put down the cucumber in her right hand, she took the cucumber in her left hand and went into the kitchen.

After Shen Jiaren walked into the kitchen, she suddenly realized how to remove the seeds. If she cut with the knife, who could guarantee that the seeds would not be cut off as well?

Shen Jiaren thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution.

Just prepare yourself and wait until you meet someone in the village, then ask them how to get cucumber seeds and then start the planting task.

Shen Jiaren was about to close the task interface and do other things. As a result, just as Shen Jiaren was about to close it, she found a pop-up box on the planting interface. Shen Jiaren looked carefully and found that the text box said, "Do you want to learn how to get cucumber seeds?"

Shen Jiaren saw it and thought, this is just like thirsty people meeting spring water, it is just right. Shen Jiaren clicked it and saw the file introduction on the screen.

Cucumber seed collection introduction:

To prevent cucumber seeds from being damaged by sharp objects, it is recommended to break the cucumber by hand.

The main steps of seeding are:

Once the seeds are taken, extract the cucumber along with the cucumber pulp according to the maturity of the cucumber.

Second, wash the seeds, put the cucumber pulp in water and wash it several times.

3. Dry the seeds. Dry the washed cucumber seeds in the sun.

Because the current planting environment has changed, there is no need to dry the seeds after taking them this time, you can plant them directly.

After reading this introduction, Shen Jiaren still didn't understand. Breaking the cucumber with your hands was easy, but how to extract the cucumber pulp? Especially since it was stipulated that sharp tools were not allowed, what else could be used to extract it?

Shen Jiaren walked into the outer room and took out a bowl to put the cucumber pulp in. After she was ready, Shen Jiaren began to break the cucumber. After breaking it into several pieces, Shen Jiaren found that it was actually easy to take out. She could just pick it with her hands, but it was a bit more difficult.

Shen Jiaren picked up the cucumber segment and started to pick it. She found it was okay and not as difficult as she had imagined. After picking out the cucumber seeds for a long time and putting them in the bowl, Shen Jiaren carried the bowl into the manor.

When Shen Jiaren arrived at the planting field, she found that there were no tools and that seeds alone would not be enough. So she put the bowl on the edge of the field and prepared to go to the warehouse to get tools for planting.

As soon as Shen Jiaren put the bowl on the edge of the field, she saw a prompt appear on the manor task panel. Shen Jiaren clicked it and saw the planting interface. After Shen Jiaren clicked on planting, she found that the cucumber seeds in the bowl had disappeared.

However, the planting task on the task interface shows that the planting of cucumbers has been completed.

Shen Jiaren discovered that this planting field seemed to have been upgraded. Before, she had to plant it herself or involve manpower, but now, after touching the task field, there would be a corresponding next task interface prompt.

I just don’t know when the cucumbers will grow, and I don’t know when the chicks will hatch.

Shen Jiaren opened the task interface and carefully checked it to see if there were other triggered tasks that she had not discovered, or if there were any tasks whose completion data did not meet 100%.

Shen Jiaren looked carefully for a long time and found that the entire task interface was clean and tidy, with no other prompt tasks.

Shen Jiaren was about to leave the manor and go outside to continue knocking on the pine nuts. After all, she was still hoping to make money from selling the pine nuts.

After Shen Jiaren left the manor, she looked at the pine nuts that were drying in the rain and felt that it was no use to keep cutting and knocking them.

Anyway, after the pine nuts are taken out, the pine cone will slowly expand. In this case, can we just find something to press it down and make the pine cone softer?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren prepared to find a board to put on top of the pine cone. People could step on the board to flatten the pine cone, and maybe it would come out.

Shen Jiaren searched the yard but couldn't find a flat board. So she decided to just try it on.

Shen Jiaren looked at the pair of shoes on her feet. They were okay to wear, but if she stepped on them, they would probably be completely ruined in a few steps and would not be wearable anymore.

Shen Jiaren returned to the main room, found the Liberation shoes she had bought a few days ago, put them on, and started stepping on pine cones.

When she first started stepping on the pine cones, Shen Jiaren thought it was okay as she could feel the changes in the pine cones under her feet. But after stepping on a few of them, she found that stepping on the pine cones was really not as good as just splitting them open and then knocking them.

If she keeps stepping on it like this, Shen Jiaren feels that the shoes are fine, but her feet will get blisters.

Shen Jiaren returned to the room, changed back into her original pair of shoes, then obediently moved a stool and began to cut and knock pine cones.

Maybe she had determined her approach, or maybe she had tried other methods, so Shen Jiaren was a little more accepting of the tiring method of cracking pine nuts.

Shen Jiaren felt that the whole yard was echoing with the sound of her "bang bang bang" knocking on pine nuts. Shen Jiaren thought the sound was quite nice. If she deliberately controlled the strength or rhythm, it felt like the "bang bang bang" sounds could be combined into a song.

Maybe there are not many songs I can remember at this time, but Shen Jiaren thinks this feeling is pretty good.

I now understand why people used to hum tunes while doing hard labor.

For example, the boat trackers in Chongqing, and Liu Sanjie that you have seen on TV.

Hahahahahahaha, Shen Jiaren found it kind of funny when she thought about it. Is this a disguised way of finding joy in suffering?

Shen Jiaren felt that she had been knocking pine nuts for a very long time. Perhaps because she was humming a song, her attention was distracted and she did not notice the passage of time.

By the time Shen Jiaren began to react, the sun in the sky had slowly set over the mountain.

Shen Jiaren stopped the hammer in her hand and looked at the purple sky and colorful clouds in the horizon. She suddenly felt that the scenery at this time was really beautiful and it was very suitable to sit here and enjoy the sunset without doing anything.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren took out a bunch of grapes and a bottle of carbonated happy water from the refrigerator. While drinking the happy water and eating the grapes, she watched the colors of the clouds slowly change and the clouds slowly move.

At this moment, Shen Jiaren suddenly felt that life is just like this.

Shen Jiaren looked at the sun on the hillside, and slowly her desire to speak but shy turned into being too ashamed to see anyone. The clouds in the sky also slowly turned into a starry sky.

Shen Jiaren shook her arms a few times because of the impact of hitting the mallet, then prepared to shake up the food she had brought back from the well at noon, and continued to eat.

After all, I was so tired after cracking pine nuts all afternoon that I couldn't even lift my arms.

Shen Jiaren took a look at the pancakes in the basket and thought that they might be a bit dry if eaten like this. She looked around and realized that she had to either light the coal stove herself or go to the kitchen to wash the pot. Both options were too tiring.

Shen Jiaren thought about it, lifted a part of the cloth on the basket to let out the cold air, then turned around and went to the kitchen of the manor, ready to use the equipment in the manor to heat some water and make some egg water to eat with the pancakes.

After Shen Jiaren prepared the egg water in the manor, she took it out of the manor.

Shen Jiaren placed the things in the basket and the egg wash on the small screen wall in the yard and prepared to eat lunch.

Shen Jiaren felt that the pancakes tasted even better at this time, especially the thin paper pancake, which was not so hard anymore and did not hurt the teeth, so it tasted even better.

After Shen Jiaren finished eating, she stood up and started walking in the yard.

After walking for a while, Shen Jiaren prepared to go to the manor to take a bath and then go to bed. After all, she still needed to go to collect grass for pigs tomorrow.

As a result, the moment she entered the main house, Shen Jiaren saw that the pine nuts that had been cracked today were still scattered on the ground and had not been picked up yet.

Shen Jiaren went to the west warehouse, took a broom and a sack, then went under the awning of the relaxation tower and began to sweep the pine nuts.

Shen Jiaren took a look at the pine nuts under the rain shed and decided to turn it over and move it to another place.

Shen Jiaren used a stick to knock the pine cones to make them roll, and also used a stick to poke the pine cones to make them roll. After Shen Jiaren arranged the pine cones into a small hill, she began to sweep the pine nuts with a broom, preparing to collect the pine nuts.

After Shen Jiaren swept the pine nuts into a small hill, she began to put them into the sacks. After all the pine nuts were put into the sacks, Shen Jiaren put the sacks filled with pine nuts back into the west room warehouse.

On the way back, Shen Jiaren went back into the house and changed into Liberation shoes, because the shoes she was wearing now were too thin. Even if she kicked the pine cones a few times, her feet still hurt. Liberation shoes could actually bear the force better.

After Shen Jiaren changed back into her Liberation shoes, she began to use her feet and a stick to slowly flatten the pile of pine cones.

You know, this time maybe the stick and the feet coordinated well enough, Shen Jiaren's feet didn't feel much this time, but each pine cone came with an intimate contact of being stepped on by a foot and hit by a stick.

Hahahaha, Shen Jiaren felt really happy when she thought about this. This pine cone was really pitiful. In addition to being kicked by her own feet, she was also beaten by a stick, and was under double pressure.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren wanted to go up and step on it a few more times. After all, both the pine cones and herself had their own double pressures, and each was trying hard to protect their own bottom line. The only difference was that the pine cones were low-end and belonged to the lower level of the biosphere, while she herself was also at the lower level, but belonged to the upper level of the food chain. At this time, at least, the pine cones were controlled by herself, and she was not controlled by the pine cones.

Shen Jiaren felt that she was a little delusional. It was just a pine cone, wasn't it? How could she imagine a big battle?

Is this a remake of some classic game? ? Hmm? A battle between a sent-down countryman and a Songshan monster called Songta?

A person who has built his castle carefully and is good at defense cannot open it easily.

A rookie who is good at using weapons and is diligent and studious. Although he is currently in the initial stage of fighting monsters, at least there is room for upgrading.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, although the two sides seem to be evenly matched now, Shen Jiaren believes that sooner or later she will defeat this monster Songta and win the applause and fruits of victory.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, the more Shen Jiaren thought about it, the happier she felt. She even had more strength to continue hitting the scattered pine cones with a stick.

Shen Jiaren held the stick, sometimes chopping horizontally, sometimes hitting vertically, or using it to sweep the chest, and sometimes using it to hit people in all directions. Hahahahahahahaha, the more Shen Jiaren hit, the happier she felt.

I live alone, and after going to the countryside, in this unfamiliar place, there are gossipy people like Aunt Zhou. I can't say that they stare at me all the time, but at least they always stare at me when they see me, to see if I have any scandals, gossip or gossip.

In fact, Shen Jiaren found this very annoying. She was not a person who liked to integrate into the social group. Before, she had no choice but to stay at home alone after get off work or on holidays.

Although I live alone after moving to the countryside, I need to go out every day, and when I go out I need to deal with a lot of people. It's really annoying. I can't pretend that I don't understand, and I can't ignore the other person when he/she contacts me.

At this moment, Shen Jiaren suddenly felt that the depressed mood that had been weighing on her heart for a long time had disappeared a lot.

Sure enough, there must be a channel to vent stress. If there is no channel to vent, emotions may really become a problem.
