After two days of worrying, Li Xiaonuan still hasn't come up with a proper solution. Wei Yu has already sent the seeds. Li Xiaonuan looked through it and found that in the large bag of seeds, most of them were spice seeds from the Western Regions. Among them, vanilla seeds are the most numerous.

However, in that pile of spice seeds, there is a seed that can make Li Xiaonuan instantly refreshed - pepper seeds. Li Xiaonuan identified it again and again, and even bit several pieces before it was finally determined.

For the chili alone, Li Xiaonuan was very excited. As for other spice seeds, Li Xiaonuan didn't think much about planting them. After all, Qi Song's cooking condiments, there are very few dishes that can use Western food spices. Moreover, the living environment of many spices is very harsh, and Li Xiaonuan has no way to grow them at all.

Of course, in addition to spice seeds, there is another thing that Li Xiaonuan has never thought of. That is the plantain taro, that is, the dry lotus root. It's bulky, it's not good-looking, and it doesn't taste good when eaten straight. Therefore, the person sent by Wei Yu directly left the bag on the ground.

Although this plantain taro is not pleasing, it can't stand its high starch content. The starch made from it is made of dry lotus root powder, which tastes very good. Moreover, the vermicelli has good toughness and is also resistant to shelf. No matter how bad it is, it can be used to feed pigs, and it can also feed big fat pigs.

This reminded Li Xiaonuan of the lotus root soup he had eaten in his previous life, which was a sweet soup made with lotus root powder, which was really delicious. It's just that there is no added sugar in the lotus root flour. Therefore, when eating, use boiling water first, and then mix in sugar or honey, which is a bowl of crystal clear powder.

After thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan planned to let people dig fields and plant lotus roots by the pond. You don't need to plant a lot, just plant four or five acres. As for the pond, I planted some ornamental lotus flowers and the like, and stocked some fish and shrimp. The edge of the pond is planted with white calluses, and it is perfect.

As for the remaining nearly 30 acres of land, Xiao Nuan wants to cover some corridors and pavilions with national characteristics on it and pave wooden sleeper plank roads. At that time, different flowers and fruits will be planted according to different regions.

After thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan took out a pen and paper and recorded what he thought. It's not that a good brain is not as good as a bad pen, and it is convenient to summarize and add or subtract after writing it down. After remembering it, she stared back at the courtyard.

Because, in the matter of Master Zhao Wangchuan, Li Xiaonuan never came up with a compromise solution. Thinking that he was nothing more than a chess piece in King Jing's hand, Li Xiaonuan was anxious, afraid that if he couldn't do it well, the whole family would suffer.

Fortunately, God always favors people with the aura of the protagonist. Li Xiaonuan didn't have to worry about it for a long time, and ushered in a rare opportunity.

Anyway, on this day, Li Xiaonuan took Xiao Gang, who had been lazy for a day, and planned to go to the wasteland to see the situation together. At the door of Zhao's house, I met Zhao Wangchuan's master and apprentice who were about to go out.

"Brother Lechuan, you want to go into the mountains to hunt, can you take me there?" As soon as he saw Zhao Lichuan, Xiao Gang ran forward happily and asked. Because before, Zhao Wangchuan's master and apprentice came back from hunting a clouded leopard in the mountains, but he was majestic. Now, the clouded leopard has become the symbol of Xinzhou Village.

Every evening, Zhao Wangchuan and his apprentices would bring clouded leopards to train near the mountains and forests. Xiao Gang watched it from afar several times because of curiosity, so he liked it very much. He wished he could have such a big cat. Even if you raise it from a young age, it's fine.

Zhao Wangchuan touched Xiao Gang's head and said, "Xiao Gang, we are going into the mountains this time, and we may have to stay for about ten days, so we won't take you there." However, if I can catch an ocelot, I'll bring it back to you, okay? ”

Xiao Gang asked suspiciously: "What kind of cat is an ocelot, is it fierce?" ”

Zhao Lichuan replied: "The ocelot is a very wild cat, bigger than the tiger cat you used to have. It's just too wild to be domesticated. If you want to keep it, you'll have to train it a little hard. ”

Xiao Gang pouted and said, "What's the difference between that and a house cat, I still don't want it." Why don't you help me bring back two turtles, I can raise them. ”

Zhao Wangchuan smiled, nodded and promised him: "Okay, brother will help you find two mountain turtles." ”

Just as Xiaogang was talking to Zhao Lichuan, Li Xiaonuan also greeted the old Taoist nervously: "Old man, are you going into the mountain again?" ”

Lao Dao glanced at Li Xiaonuan roughly, and was a little surprised. He looked at her from head to toe in a serious manner before replying: "Yes, I can't stay still, so I want to go into the mountains to play." ”

Li Xiaonuan was seen by the old Taoist and his hairs stood on end, and he was afraid that he would see his abnormality. Fortunately, although the old Taoist had sharp eyes, he was not harmful. After the old Taoist answered her kindly, Li Xiaonuan relaxed.

"Old man, actually, I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if you are willing to sue me." Facing the old Taoist's perceptive eyes, Li Xiaonuan didn't dare to go around in circles at all, and told the truth directly.

The old Taoist twisted his gray beard and said casually: "I know who asked you to ask." And I'm here to ask you. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaonuan felt messy. I suddenly felt ridiculous about my thoughts. Others know everything, but they want to break their heads, so they have such an opportunity. She is not the monkey who was played, she obviously worked very hard to perform, but the audience already knew the content of the performance.

Li Xiaonuan cleared his throat, smiled reluctantly, and said, "The old man is really clever. I wonder if the old man is willing to tell me? ”

The old Taoist didn't speak so politely this time, and snorted before saying, "Then you have to return my two scriptures first, and then I will consider whether to sue you." ”

Li Xiaonuan let out an "ah" and asked suspiciously: "What scriptures?" Where is it missing? What are the characteristics? ”

Lao Dao snorted again, and said very strictly: "It's a "Tao Te Ching" and a "Book of Changes". Fifteen years ago, I gave me a girl doll with wild fruits to eat on the road. Inside that scripture is my Taoist cultivation method, which is incomprehensible to idle people. I can only guess that it is some symbols and illustrations. ”

When the old Taoist said the titles of the two books, Li Xiaonuan had already guessed who the Taoist in front of him was. When he heard the back, Li Xiaonuan was even more certain.

Although I don't know if there are any cultivators in this time and space, the old Daoken gave them the book printed with the heart method, which shows how much respect people have for those who help each other.

It's just that the two books are currently in the hands of King Jing. Therefore, Li Xiaonuan had no way to return the book on the spot. She was slightly disappointed and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I lent your book to someone else." But I'll do my best to get the book back. It's just that you'll have to give me a few days. ”

The old Taoist stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said nonchalantly: "I have already put the words here, what to do is your business." Even if those two books don't come back, it won't hurt me. It's just because those two books are relics of the ancestors, and I want to find them back for offering. ”

Li Xiaonuan was at a loss, not only wanting to promise Lao Dao to find the book, but also afraid that King Jing would not agree. But no matter how embarrassed Li Xiaonuan was, Lao Dao still entered the mountain. Before entering the mountain, Lao Dao let go.

"If I can see the scriptures when I go out of the mountain, I will tell you what you want to know. If not, then you don't have that blessing. (To be continued.) )
