Chapter 65: The Impossible
The man who rushed in was crooked, and his blue robe was mottled and dripping, and he didn't know what he was stained with.
The bun on his head is a little scattered, and his face is also sweat-stained, horizontal and vertical, like a flower-faced cat.
A pair of cloud shoes under his feet, full of mud, the original color is almost indistinguishable on the upper. The whole person exuded a musty and sour smell, and the top person was disgusted.
Pang Shiyan and Su Mo in the room were stunned at the same time. This person, both of whom know, is indeed a real person, a real person. The real person who was fooled by Su Mo and went to the world to find immortal medicine.
Su Mo's eyes rolled, and he subconsciously wanted to slip away. Pang Shiyan's cheeks twitched, and he raised his hand with a finger, so that Su Mo had to give up his plan.
Pang Shiyan was shocked, he had been friends with the old Taoist of Tianji for many years, and he had always watched the old Taoist of the heavenly machine fluttering and dignified, how could he ever be so embarrassed today? Now when he saw the people of the Taoist of Tianji coming in in urgently, he looked for Su Mo, and even the people in the house didn't see it clearly, Pang Shiyan was actually a little nervous in his heart.
In other words, they are all immortals, Tianji Zhenren is so eager to find Su Xiantong, but this embarrassed appearance, should it be that there is some crisis?
Tianji Lao Dao didn't know what he was thinking, and when he raised his hand and pointed at it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there were other people in the house.
looked at his fingers, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed towards Su Mo with a single step.
Good guy, that smell, Su Mo, who almost spit it out, spit it out on the spot. Maybe it was after a few mutations, what kind of reaction did Su Mo have at this time?
Bang!
A dull sound sounded in the room, and Pang Shiyan's eyes widened beside him, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Beneath the wall, a miserable human figure, half leaning against the wall, half lying on the ground, two dirty hands stretched out in front of him, his dirty nails twitching from time to time. Half-sounded, a painful ** sound came from the face that was close to the ground.
Su Mo was also shocked, he didn't expect his kick to exert such power. Listening to the old **, he looked at Pang Shiyan's shocked face, touched his nose, and laughed dryly: "This ...... This, ahem, is purely a mistake, a mistake, a knee-jerk reaction, understand. He pounced like this, so what, I can't help it. ”
Pang Shiyan Gaba, shut his mouth, looked at the heavenly machine on the ground, and then looked at Su Mo, and nodded indifferently.
"Su ...... Sue...... You ......" The Tianji real person on the ground finally came back to his soul, raised his head tremblingly and looked at Su Mo, his nose bleeded for a long time, and his eyes were complaining, and his heart was about to break.
After a long time, the three people in the room sat down again. After cleaning up, the real people of Tianji have finally recovered a little bit of their former style. just looked at Su Mo's eyes, still so melancholy and haggard......
Su Mo only felt that the hairs on his body were about to explode, and he raised his hand and pointed at him and said angrily: "Dead bull nose, if you have something to say, look at it with this kind of eyes again, believe it or not?"
Pang Shiyan on the side shuddered, only to feel that these words were quite weird, and he felt awkward in his heart. After thinking about it, he finally stood up first, waved at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two, two, if you don't talk first, the next official still has some official business, so I won't bother." After a while, I will buy a banquet and invite the two of you to drink together, well, drink together. ”
After that, without waiting for the two of them to say, as soon as they lifted their robes, they rushed out like a rabbit with arrows. Suddenly, the door was immediately closed, and a huge number of people ordered from afar: "Idle people wait to disturb them, and go with the county on business." ”
The voice is curling, and there is only a chicken feather left.
In the room, Tianji Daoren looked at Su Mo's angry halberd fingers, and said aggrievedly: "Su Official, Su Daoyou, it was Poor Dao who was beaten and beaten by you." Even if there is any offense, it will not end there. ”
Su Mo woke up at this time, retracted his fingers ashamedly, bent over stiffly, scratched his scalp, sat down slowly, and said with a dry smile: "I'm ...... Isn't it a nerve reflex. You too, if you have something to say, right, patronize and see, no one can stand it. Well, let's say, what are you looking for me to do in this hurry? ”
Tianji Daoren's eyes lit up, and he carefully took out a wooden box from his arms, put it on the table, and with a face full of piety, he opened it carefully, pushed it forward, and said hopefully: "Look, this." ”
Su Mo looked puzzled, looked at him, and then looked down. The wooden box is the size of the palm of the hand, boxy, and there is nothing peculiar about it. It's just that as soon as the things in the box came into his eyes, Su Mo couldn't help but change color, stood up suddenly, staring at it deadly, his face was excited and shocked.
The light in the eyes of the Heavenly Machine Daoist became more and more hot, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. He also stood up on the table, trembling his lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, right? Yes, right, right? Sanqing, sure enough, yes. ”
He laughed and cried at the same time, and he was like crazy.
Su Mo was startled, decisively took a few steps back, and looked at him vigilantly. The contents of the box really shocked him, because it shouldn't have been here now. According to records, it first appeared in Spain, Portugal and other places, then Italy, and it was not until the 17th century that it gradually spread to the Philippines and then to China.
However, now, right now, this thing appeared strangely in front of his eyes, and Su Mo almost felt like he was in a dream. He even wondered if the time and space he was in was real, or whether it was the Ming time and space recorded in later generations.
Could it be that there really is a parallel time and space? Or are those historical records simply wrong? I have been deceived again?
What's in the box?
The answer is: tomatoes. That is, everyone in later generations knows, tomatoes.
As Fang Cai Su Mo thought, according to historical records, tomatoes did not appear in China until nearly two hundred years later.
Wang Hao of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Guangqun Fangpu": persimmon, a June persimmon. The stems resemble artemisia and are four or five feet high. The leaves are like wormwood, the flowers are like pomegranates, and one branch bears five or three or four fruits. Herb also, from the Westflower, hence the name.
From this account, it can be seen that it was not until the Braided Dynasty that the people saw this thing. And, in the beginning, it was just cherry tomatoes, which were ornamental.
In fact, cherry tomatoes at the beginning were still in the newly tamed period, and the taste was far less sweet than that of later generations, more sour and astringent, and difficult to eat. Even later entered Britain, France and other countries, and was once named "poisonous fruit", which made many people frightened.
It's just that Su Mo was shocked, but what is the matter with this old way? This shaking chicken claw is crazy, could it really be as rumored, this tomato was poisonous when it was first discovered, and the old way was poisoned?
Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and cautiously took another half step back, and said tentatively: "I said, old Dao, you ...... this thing."
Lao Dao's voice stopped abruptly, stared at Su Mo fiercely, and said excitedly: "Scorching Sun Fruit! This is the Scorching Sun Fruit, right? One of the four immortal materials you talked to Poor Dao about that day, the main medicine for refining the Ninety-Nine Guiyuan Pill, right?"
Su Mo's mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened. This time, he was really scared. Well, it was thundered.
Is this Nima crazy herself, or is the world crazy? What a powerful association this must be, to think of tomatoes as some kind of bullshit sun?
Burning Sun Fruit, Nima, I'm afraid that the real gods will faint when they hear it. Is the scorching sun fruit a god horse?
Su Mo suddenly felt very guilty. If Lao Dao goes crazy because of this, then he is really being mentally ill by himself.
"Ahem, that, real people......" Su Mo decided to be a good person and have the courage to admit his mistakes, so as not to hurt others too much.
"Call me Tianji!" The old man interrupted with a heroic wave of his hand, and suddenly his face turned straight, and he said respectfully: "Su Daoyou, ah, no, Su senior, the so-called master is respected, and my generation of monks should be like this." If it weren't for the guidance of the seniors, how could the poor Dao find such immortal materials? Therefore, please call me by my name, and ask the seniors to point out the whereabouts of several other immortal materials. To tell the truth, the poor road is everywhere, if it is not for chance, it is this scorching sun, and it is absolutely difficult to find. "Sighing.
Su Mo's mouth opened wide and closed it again. Then it opens and closes again. He really didn't know how to explain it.
After thinking about it for a long time, looking at the crazy appearance of the Tianji Daoist in front of me, I was really afraid that if I said it truthfully, it would completely collapse this old Dao excitement.
Well, white lies can be forgiven. I didn't mean to lie to him, I was for his good, and I should be a good person...... bar. Su Mo thought uncertainly.
"What's that, it's good, it's good, it's a good thing. Can you tell me, this ...... This, ahem, this Burning Sun Fruit, where did you find it?"
Su Mo decided to avoid more esoteric topics, he was more concerned about why the tomato was now than about the stuff.
He remembered very well that the tomatoes were supposed to be in South America. Produced in the same place as tomatoes, there are still more valuable things. For example, potatoes, that is, potatoes, and corn.
That's all high-yield, high-yield stuff. In this barren era, the yield per mu is only one or two stones, and at most it will not exceed three stones. Converted into the unit of measurement of later generations, that is, the yield of one acre of land, it is about 300 catties, a pitiful 300 catties!
But what about potatoes and corn? How bad does this have to be?
And potatoes and corn are available, so sweet potatoes, sorghum or something, will they be far away?
Su Mo didn't think about saving the country and the people, he didn't have that big heart. Or rather, he is not so conscious, at least not yet.
However, this did not prevent him from getting excited. If you can really get these things, once they can be promoted, it will benefit all the people of the world and benefit the common people. If that's the case, is he still afraid that someone will come to mess with him? Aren't he afraid of being poked in the backbone by the people?
Even if you can't achieve this goal, at least it's okay to make a bigger name. Improving one's reputation was originally planned.
So, he was excited.
It's just that he was excited to see him, but Tianji was not excited. Not only was he not excited, but his expression suddenly became a little more vigilant. The originally flushed face gradually calmed down.
"Senior Su. He said lightly.
Su Mo hurriedly shouted, "Let's leave our predecessors, I can't stand it." If you really want to shout, just call your friend or childe, otherwise I will listen to the panic. ”
It's a joke, pretending to be too much. Let a person who is more than twice as big as himself be called a senior, Su Mo is really afraid of dying of his life.
The Tianji Daoist was as good as a stream at this time, and he didn't force it, nodding and saying, "That's good, Master Su." ”
Su Mo nodded and gladly agreed.
"Young Master Su, Lao Dao also knows that resources are important to my generation of cultivators. The so-called wealth and law, this first word is a wealth word. This scorching sun fruit was indeed found by you and the old way. If it is an opportunity to become a cause in the future, Lao Dao will definitely not be stingy, and he must have a son. But if Childe just wants to ask where this thing is from the old way, hehe, doesn't Childe think it's too ugly?"
Su Mo's mouth opened wide again.
Well, this is the first time he's opened his mouth wide today. He didn't know how many times he would be turned over by thunder if he went on like this.
But suddenly, the guilt he felt was gone. There is something hateful about the so-called wretched.
Listen to what this old man said, my sister, who do you think of Lao Tzu? Calculate your point, uh, well, there is a little calculation. However, this calculation is completely incompatible.
Su Mo was somewhat defeated.
Rubbing his head with his hands fiercely, he was about to rub his skin.
Tianji Lao Dao didn't urge, just watched calmly. As far as he is concerned, everything in the world can be compromised, but this practice is a struggle with the heavens, the earth, people, and all things! The so-called cultivation of the Tao is to act against the sky, and it is impossible to fight. If you don't fight, you won't have a chance.
He was willing to promise Su Mo, but if he got it, he was willing to share it, which was already a return to Su Mo's guidance. But if Su Mo is insatiable and wants to get to the root of it, then he can't accept it.
Su Mo pondered for a long time, and when he saw the increasingly determined expression of the old man, he couldn't cry or laugh.
Helpless, I simply let it go. Pulled a chair and sat down, spread his hands, and said disdainfully: "Dead hair, don't be as heroic as righteousness." To tell you the truth, I don't need to tell you where this thing came from, I already knew it. I wonder how impossible it is at the current level. In other words, it is almost impossible to get it. In terms of probability, it can be said to be 1 in 10,000, no, 1 in 100,000, 1 in a million is a little less. ”
The disdain in the eyes of the Heavenly Machine Dao people was even more obvious. Obviously, he absolutely did not believe what Su Mo said. The reason why Su Mo said this was nothing more than to increase his chips.
Su Mo is so angry. He said directly: "This thing is native to another continent thousands of miles away, and that place is called South America." It's called Cherry Persimmon, or Cherry Tomato, am I right? And, I guess, you'll probably only get one, or no more than five. I wonder if I'm wrong?"
Tianji Lao Dao was not calm now, Huo Ran stood up, looked at him with a shocked face, and his face was cloudy for a while.
It's not really in South America, but it's thousands of miles away. This is confirmed by the people from whom he brought the fruit.
Moreover, the name of this thing, as Su Mo said, is exactly what the man called "cherry tomatoes". As for why it was called such a name, he couldn't figure it out.
Because the language barrier didn't speak, and the man was only one of the people who handled it, not the one who got it firsthand.
As for the quantity, there is indeed only this one. He originally planned that after he went back this time, he would mobilize the power of the division, and it would be a big deal to go overseas to find it. Although he did not have a more specific location, the general direction was clear.
Originally, he firmly believed that Su Mo was cheating him. But when Su Mo said the Tao little by little, even more comprehensively than the man said, he was really shocked.
"You...... How do you know, Old Dao, Old Dao only has this one?" he asked, a little anonymously.
Why? Su Mo sneered, looked at him calmly, and lightly spit out two words: "Rot!"
It's rot. Nima, far away in South America, Brother Tai! This thing is still a tropical plant thousands of miles away, and it is a miracle that it can be preserved until now.
The so-called June persimmon June persimmon, the ripening period is June. What month is it now? It's been half a year since the beginning of March. It is estimated that the one in front of me is also because when it was picked, it must have been the most jerky one. Otherwise, it would never have been possible to maintain it to this day.
Hearing these two words, the heavenly machine was like thunder, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he sat down on the chair with a puff, and his eyes instantly became extremely gloomy.
That's right, rot. That's what the man said at the time. It is said that there were twenty or thirty of them at that time, but it didn't take long for them to rot one after another. This one is still their best way, and after using ice cubes around it to control the temperature as constant as possible, it is difficult to maintain it until now.
The reason why he went to such great lengths to do it was that the man just felt that this thing was rare, very rare, and might be able to sell for a lot of money, so it took a lot of brains to get it.
And he spent a thousand taels of silver to finally buy this thing.
But at this moment, Su Mo was just two simple words, and he broke through the sky in one sentence, making him feel that he had nothing to rely on, and all his plans were in vain.
"Okay, I'll tell you the way. However, you have to promise Lao Dao that when he goes to find this scorching sun fruit in the future, Lao Dao must go with him, and the income must be divided equally!" In the middle of the sound, Lao Dao finally came back to his soul, stared at Su Mo deadly, and roared with a hideous face.
