I became an old man in my leisure time

Wheat can be ripe in ten days, but this is the time Xiaoman was asked by Gu Ke, and it is difficult to ensure its authenticity. Read М

Bai Suqing decided to wait for a few days to see the growth of the wheat seedlings, and then go to the eldest lady to explain.

After all, hearing is false, seeing is true.

Besides, it feels much more comfortable in this small hut and black soil than in the cold and damp ancestral mausoleum.

She understood Xiaoman, why she always wanted to come here, and didn't want to go back.

Gu Ke didn't care about her. After resting enough, he and Xiaoman found a few fresh plants from the weeds and dead branches they brought back.

This is what he specially selected and brought back to plant.

Although it can't be eaten, it can be used as firewood and materials.

Holding these plants, Gu Ke came to the edge of the fairy field. With an idea, he operated on the system's 3D topographic map and marked out several 1-2 cm long plots (1 mu = 10 fen, 1 fen = 10 cm, 1 cm ≈ 67 square meters).

Xiao Man, who was standing behind him, looked at the straight field ridges that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, calling for the blessing of the mountain god in her heart.

Gu Ke didn't believe in the mountain god, but only believed in the system father, and quickly interrupted the superstitious activities of the little hired worker in his heart: "Okay, separate these according to type, and plant them in a piece of land for each type."

"Well, this kind of shrub is very suitable for burning fire, plant it in this 2 cm plot."

"You teach me, let's work together quickly, and go outside to look for it tomorrow, and move it back if there is the same one."

He kept giving orders, and Xiao Man followed his words and was very excited.

This was partly due to the employment contract, and the other part was naturally the fairy field that sprouted in one day, which made her full of joy of a good harvest.

In fact, if the thin fields in the mountains and forests of Xiaoman's hometown can produce 300 to 500 kilograms of grain per mu, it is considered a good harvest.

According to this yield, Gu Ke's two mu of land can only produce dozens of kilograms of wheat.

But can the thin fields in the mountains produce one crop a year, which can be compared with one crop every ten days?

Even if it is actually several times slower, one crop per month, at least seven or eight crops can be planted in a year.

It may not be easy to eat enough, but it is much better than the current one meal of porridge a day.

Xiong Xiaoman may not be rare for other benefits, but she will definitely not despise it if there is something to eat.

Moreover, Gu Ke is already her landlord, and she is his tenant.

As tenants, they just do whatever the landlord says, and it is good to have food and shelter.

It's all because the little hut is too comfortable to sleep in. It doesn't feel cold at all, and there is a faint smell of straw. Xiaoman couldn't help but make a little calculation.

Now each person only has two bowls of porridge a day, and Gu Ke and Xiaoman are not impatient to work, and they work slowly for a while and rest for a while.

Until it was getting dark, Bai Suqing brought three bowls of porridge for dinner, mixed them with water in the small hut, and then dragged Xiaoman, who was reluctant to leave, back to the Zuling Hall.

Gu Ke was originally an "extra staff member" and only interacted with the two of them on weekdays. No one knew whether he was in the Zuling Hall.

The two women had to meet other maids every day, and it would be too conspicuous if they didn't go back.

Bai Suqing didn't want the maids to notice Gu Ke's situation for the time being, otherwise it would be bad if they caused any trouble.

Gu Ke was alone, closed the door and windows, and the room suddenly became warm, and he couldn't help but marvel.

Changing the temperature in seconds is more exaggerated than air conditioning and heating.

He put the three worn-out cushions in a straight line again, lay on them, covered them with bedding, and relaxed all over.

Thinking about what he had seen and heard today, a faint smell came into his nose.

This smell was very light, and it disappeared when he sniffed hard.

Relax your mind, but it lingers faintly.

A careful distinction is like a fragrance, but it is not a fragrance, very strange.

Gu Ke recalled that this seemed to be the futon that Bai Suqing had sat on, and he couldn't help but be curious: She didn't wear a sachet, and there was no trace of makeup, so where did this strange smell come from?

But after a moment, he gave up thinking about such boring questions.

Whether Sister Bai smells good or not, no matter how good she smells, it can't solve the problem of filling the stomach, so what's the point of thinking about it.

His thoughts returned to the system, the fairy field, and the wheat seedlings. The fatigue of a busy day came, and his eyelids drooped unconsciously, and he fell asleep.

...

A dreamless night.

When Gu Ke woke up the next day, he felt energetic and full of energy.

He got up, folded the quilt, and put it in the corner. The futon remained in the room as a cushion. He then propped up the window and opened the door.

The sky was hazy, and a cool air blew in his face.

He took a few deep breaths. There was no longer the lingering faint stench of the ancestral mausoleum, only the most natural smell of grass and soil.

Nodding with satisfaction, Gu Ke returned to the service sign-in calendar on the wall and pointed at it.

The daily sign-in was the same as always. He only received 3 experience points and 3 coupons as basic rewards, and still no random rewards.

He just curled his lips, despised the stingy sign-in rewards as usual, and went out and headed straight for the black soil of the fairy field.

Standing on the edge of the stone platform where the small hut was located, he saw a green wheat seedling nearly a foot high at a glance.

The corners of Gu Ke's mouth gradually curled up, more and more, and soon turned into an uncontrollable laugh: "Haha, it seems to work."

Yesterday, he talked with Xiaoman, and the most talked about the growth status of the wheat seedlings.

The wheat seedlings are nearly one foot tall. It takes at least 20-30 days to grow wheat normally, but the wheat in the fairy field has only been planted for two days.

Let’s not talk about other plants for now. The wheat in the fairy field alone is likely to grow ten times faster.

In this way, the day of harvest will not be too far away.

After lightly jumping off the stone platform, Gu Ke walked quickly to the wheat seedlings to check. Each wheat seedling was green with emerald green, as if it was trying to get rid of its immaturity and move towards maturity.

Looking at them one by one, there was still a clear difference in the height and thickness of the wheat seedlings, which was the natural quality difference of the seeds.

But even the worst ones looked full of vitality, which made people happy.

Gu Ke was not a farmer after all. He felt that these wheat seedlings were very good, so he changed his target.

When he came to the edge of the fairy field, there were a few centimeters of grass and trees that were specially transplanted yesterday.

Among them, the gray long weeds suitable for weaving were named gray thatch, the vines that could extract fibers and twist them into thin ropes were named iron wire vines, and the shrub pine trees that secreted oil were called dwarf pine.

All the grass and vines found outside yesterday were dry and small, with branches and leaves green with yellow-gray color, and they all looked sick and wilted. At this moment, many small groups of fresh green appeared.

When you get closer, you can clearly see that these plants have sprouted new buds overnight, as if they were reborn and couldn't wait to grow branches and leaves.

These plants don't have to start from scratch like wheat. They are already mature and were transplanted into the fairy fields. They get enough nutrients and their growth effect is more exaggerated than wheat seedlings.

When new buds grow, the old branches and leaves also grow a circle, so the old branches and leaves can be harvested and used after three to five days.
