The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills
Chapter 52: Discussing the cultivation of spiritual fungi and the vassalage of power
When Li Qing returned to Lettuce Island, the green pearl rice was not yet fully mature, but the fresh fragrance of rice was already faintly diffused in the sea breeze.
Not surprisingly, it attracted a large group of seabirds. Fortunately, now they only have to protect one rice field, so the islanders are still busy.
The two big birds that had been caught by Li Qing and thrown to Fenglei as sparring partners had completely succumbed.
The two of them were hovering over the rice fields, helping to drive away the others of the same kind. They seemed to be working harder than Feng Lei.
Li Qing thought for a while: "That's okay. It's not easy to be infiltrated by magic in this world. Just leave them alive."
Since there was no need to take action personally, Li Qing took advantage of the wind and headed towards Hongya Castle.
In the pool where the golden japonica rice was soaked, the clean water naturally dried up. The originally golden grains were now slightly brown, and the golden energy contained within them became softer.
Ren directed the serfs to scoop out the golden rice from the pond, pack it in clay pots, and stack it in two piles.
Seeing Li Qing come back, Ren quickly said hello: "Sir, the accumulation of golden japonica rice has been completed, and we are doing the final storage."
With that said, Li Qing's portion was delivered on a cart.
Also delivered were Hongya rice in oak barrels and Qingling bamboo leaves newly harvested yesterday.
Li Qing scanned his consciousness and found that the quantities on both sides were roughly equal, but the ones given to him were in relatively better condition and more finely packaged.
He smiled and nodded, without saying anything, he just said: "When the green pearl rice is harvested, winter will almost come."
"If you want to have some leisure time in the winter, I have two cooperation plans here. I wonder if the Baron is still interested?"
How could Renn be unwilling: "Everything will be at your command."
Li Qing introduced: "One is to grow spiritual vegetables. I have several cold-resistant spiritual vegetable sprouts to choose from. Growing this is no more difficult than growing lettuce."
"The other is to grow mushrooms. I have many strains in my hand, many of which are suitable for winter planting."
For Lettuce Island, growing spiritual vegetables is of course easier to get started.
But Renn did not make a rash decision, but sincerely asked: "Sir, which one do you want us to plant?"
Li Qing's eyes flashed with approval: "Grow spiritual mushrooms! Spiritual vegetables are of little use to me!"
Although in this world, any magical "witch medicine" can be used to make potions, even vegetables such as lettuce.
But for Li Qing, spiritual vegetables are more suitable for making spiritual meals. On the other hand, mushrooms, with Ganoderma lucidum as the example, do not seem out of place for alchemy.
What's more, Li Qing is more curious about the mushroom fairy bug than the vegetable fairy bug, which he already has.
Ren nodded decisively: "Everything is at your command. Thanks to your support, Lettuce Island can be what it is today. Whatever you ask us to grow, we will grow it."
Li Qing was very satisfied and took out the storage bag to collect the golden japonica rice and other grains: "When you finish harvesting the green pearl rice, I will teach you how to use spiritual rice straw as a substrate to cultivate spiritual bacteria."
Renn happily agreed.
Compared with spiritual vegetables and spiritual rice, spiritual fungi have more stringent requirements for spiritual energy.
Since he decided to continue the cooperation, Li Qing did not delay. He and the Lane family learned in detail about the climate and hydrology of Lettuce Island in winter, and finally selected two kinds of spiritual fungi.
One is the Pingyang bacteria that the Li family is growing. It is relatively balanced in all aspects and is easy to use. With the labor of Lettuce Island, if the yield and quality are not required, ten acres can be planted.
The other is sea fog stone sun. This one also has little requirement for aura environment, but it usually only grows on seaside reefs. Li Qing thought that it would be no problem to plant a hundred or so plants.
While the green pearl rice was still immature, Li Qing asked Ren to mobilize the remaining labor on the island to build the pool with marble.
"The pond is ready, harvest the straw from the field, put it in bundles, pour in the medicine I gave you, and let it soak for three or four days."
"Then use the rune flame to steam it again, completely disinfect the straw, and then stack it for a period of time until it emits a fragrant fragrance. This matrix is considered finished."
Everyone who was listening wrote vigorously.
Rael, who has never been very conspicuous, reacted first and said excitedly: "Sir!"
Li Qing looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Rael's hand holding the quill trembled slightly: "This method of processing straw as a substrate for growing mushrooms is not only suitable for witch medicine, right?"
"You do have some understanding." Li Qing didn't hide it, "The wheat straw you usually grow can be treated in this way, and you can also grow some ordinary mushrooms."
"However, mortal plants are fragile and do not require potions and runic flames. They can be soaked in lime water and steamed with ordinary fire instead."
As soon as Li Qing said these words, everyone present could not help but breathe quickly.
After a long while, Ren bowed solemnly and saluted: "Sir, I have an unkind request, please grant it."
Li Qing readily agreed: "Since I have taught you this method, I can naturally use it for you."
In a noble territory, the production of witch medicine is of course very important. But other specialties are also needed to support the territorial economy.
The specialty of Lettuce Island is of course lettuce, which is uncompetitive among the coastal countries. They sold it to passing ships to help the crews cure their scurvy.
As for various mushrooms, it would be difficult to grow them without the cultivation of mushroom elves. As a good product for enhancing flavor and freshness, it has huge market potential among the aristocratic groups.
Renn took a deep breath, not getting carried away by the huge benefits.
He looked at Li Qing, who was smiling, gritted his teeth, and knelt down on one knee: "Sir! Whether it's witch medicine or mushrooms, the benefits behind it are really huge, and our family can't afford them."
"So?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was going to involve Viscount Green Rose.
After all, judging from Kailin's series of actions, Greenbrier Castle knows a lot about Lettuce Island, but it is still waiting and watching.
However, Ren's actions made him impressed: "Sir! I heard that there are already rune warriors, and even some small nobles, working for the big shots in the Wizarding Monastery."
"I wonder if we, Lettuce Island, have the honor to be your spokesperson in this sea area?"
This is something Li Qingwei never thought about. He didn't take much care of things in the Li family and focused on farming and refining elixirs.
The reason why I came here to choose to cooperate is that on the one hand, Lettuce Island has moderate strength and Ren's character is acceptable; on the other hand, I also have the idea of escape thousands of miles away if things are not harmonious.
If Lettuce Island is accepted as a vassal, the situation will become more complicated. Although management power can be regarded as a different kind of "farming", Li Qing really can't bear it.
While he was pondering, a villager suddenly opened the castle door.
"Master Wizard! Master Baron! That Cordyceps cordyceps plant has reacted!"
Hearing this, Li Qing perked up and without thinking about Lettuce Island's vassalage, he immediately took off in the wind and flew out of the window.
Thank you all for your continued reading, collection, monthly votes and recommendation votes. Good night and see you tomorrow!
