I became an old man in my leisure time

Chapter 070 Harvesting millet, sorghum and beans

Later, we experimented with other things and proved that the dust repellent +1 of the bathtub is not only effective for people, but also for dirt on various items. Read М

It was just a bathtub at the beginning, so we didn't think that this thing would be effective for other items.

Gu Ke and Xiao Man, two "lazy guys", have another lazy treasure - "fully automatic washing tub".

Xiao Man even wore a full set of dirty clothes, including cloth shoes and straw sandals, into the bathtub.

Facts have proved that the dust repellent property is really strong. After a cup of tea, both the person and the clothes will become clean, but there is a little too much water left.

Xiao Man, who dared to experiment, naturally did not end well. Gu Ke knocked on his forehead and taught him: "Are you a fool! You actually soaked the cotton clothes together. Do you think it is too comfortable to wear?"

Later, he baked it in a small oven for a night, and then rubbed the kapok flowers inside that were almost caked, so that it did not turn into kapok "plate armor".

With this "fully automatic washing tub", Gu Ke didn't care about these things.

Anyway, any things that look like chamber pots or toilets are not needed. Most of the others can be put in and washed once, and come out clean.

This search lasted for three hours from morning to afternoon.

At noon, everyone stopped to rest, ate the purple wheat rice balls they brought, and drank the purple leaf tea in the bamboo tube they carried with them, and then continued to work.

The two girls from Meizhu opened the bamboo poles, iron wire rattan, and thatch they brought down from the mountain and tied them into something similar to a sliding pole.

However, the width reached five feet, and there was no seat in the middle, but a large square bamboo frame, with two short bamboo poles added horizontally and vertically at the bottom, and three circles of straw ropes around the four sides.

A thin straw mat was laid in the square bamboo basket, and various sundries were put in.

Larger objects were tied and fixed with straw ropes, and fragile pottery and porcelain were cushioned with straw, stacked layer by layer, and then reinforced from the top with straw ropes to prevent the things that came out from slipping.

The sky was slightly dim, and it was already Shen in the afternoon, and everything was packed.

After making sure that nothing was left out, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju put the thick straw ropes tied to the left and right poles on their shoulders and began to run forward.

The entire pole became a simple human-powered sled and slid forward.

The tail of the slightly longer rear pole became the sled board, which took on part of the weight and had a shock-absorbing effect.

Except that the four women running in front had to work harder, there was nothing wrong with it.

They had recovered most of their injuries and their strength had almost recovered to the second level. The four of them worked together and they would not be too tired.

When running, the two women in front, Mei and Zhu, needed to find the route quickly, keep consistent at all times, and avoid some potholes and bumps to prevent the whole sled from flying.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sled resumed the normal use of the pole. Mei and Zhu carried the front pole, and Lan and Ju carried the back pole, and they carried the pile of things up the mountain like a sedan chair.

To be safe, they walked on the stone path on the mountain, so the speed was naturally much slower. It took almost three quarters of an hour to get back to the hut.

After putting the sedan chair on the stone platform of the warehouse, Miss Qin and the others said goodbye and left.

She and Bai Suqing did not take action, but they needed to stay alert. Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju counted the entire village, and Gu Ke had to distinguish and select a large number of objects.

Everyone had a hard day, so it was better to rest early and talk about things tomorrow.

He called Xiaoman, who wanted to see the things on the sedan chair, and asked her to cook first.

After a few bites, Gu Ke took Xiaoman to untie the straw rope on the sedan chair.

He did not let her look through the messy things. He directly moved a small jar from the middle and took out small cloth bags from it.

In the gradually darkening sky, he separated the things in the small cloth bags into separate bamboo cups.

Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she was not interested in the pile of miscellaneous items. Instead, she picked up the bamboo cup and poured the grains in it into her hands to check: "This is yellow corn, this one is not shelled, it can be used as seeds."

"This is beans, raw, and can also be kept for planting."

"This seems to be black millet, which is not as delicious as yellow corn."

Gu Ke asked again and confirmed that yellow millet and black millet are both coarse grains, and beans are yellow beans. It seems that the ancient five grains are missing hemp (some say it is rice).

But people in the previous life ate very little coarse grains, not without reason.

Compared with wheat and rice, the staple food, other coarse grains have great shortcomings in taste, applicability, and yield, and naturally marginalized.

Although Miss Qin was monitored twice as much, she was nominally the eldest lady of Lieyang Sect, and the food she ate along the way was not bad.

The servants only had coarse grains, and the shelling process was done very sloppily.

The grains with shells taste bad, but they are more in quantity and can still satisfy hunger.

The bran in "eating bran and eating vegetables" refers to the ground outer shell of grains, which is still the food source of the lower class people in ancient times.

Only the servants were killed by the strange creatures early, otherwise there would be no food left.

Gu Ke was very excited.

He was naturally very happy to get new seeds, especially soybeans (soybeans), which are very useful.

The immature edamame and mature soybeans are food ingredients in themselves, and can also be made into soy milk, tofu, bean curd, fermented bean curd, soy sauce, soybean oil and soybean paste.

Moreover, the roots of soybeans can coexist with rhizobia with nitrogen-fixing ability, and planting can increase nitrogen fertilizer in the soil.

Of course, the nutrients in the fairy field are sufficient, and a little more or less nitrogen fertilizer will not make much difference.

There are only five soybeans, and Plant Affinity noticed that two of them were lifeless, leaving three for seeds.

Other corn and black millet are not as good as purple wheat in taste and use, and can only be used as a supplement to food diversity.

System cultivation, boundless magic power.

Before, purple wheat and pine nuts have grown for several crops, but there is not even a bad seed. How can this be justified?

Gu Ke may not believe in his mere 15th-level agronomy, but he absolutely believes that the system fairy field is unscientific.

So he skipped the step of germinating the seeds and planted them in a small open space reserved in the No. 1 fairy field before dark.

After doing this, he asked Bai Suqing to make sure she didn't want to wash it, so he went to take a bath first to relax his body and mind in the hot water.

It was still very tiring to distinguish those rags, and the strange creatures killed so many people in the village, so he was still a little nervous.

Now that the three seeds are in hand, everyone can be stable for a while.

Surveying the Yulong Valley is not just to check the terrain, but mainly to find usable crops and items.

Now that we have soybeans, corn, and black millet, we naturally need to plant them first and put them in our pockets.

Qin Bai and his men can only kill the ghost. His wounds haven't healed yet, so it's useless for him to be anxious.

As the saying goes, you have to eat your meals one bite at a time, and do things one by one. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Well, how do you eat tofu after it's made? No, I'd better drink soy milk first.
