Chapter 0412 Thinking about the Usefulness of Smoked Grass (Fifth Update, 170,000 Recommended Votes Plus Update)
Returning to Flower Town, Liszt was busy, first placing the fig cordyceps in the castle's garden and instructing the servants to fertilize and water it.
Later, at the luncheon, all the officials in the town were summoned and a census was announced: "Inventory of all the crops in the territory, no elf insects have been bred for more than a month, maybe there is a leak." ”
The census was just a cover to disguise his knowledge of the existence of the elven worm in advance.
In the afternoon, he took the opportunity to join the census and inspect the town of flowers. Of course, he had the option to make his rounds, and soon he made his rounds to the smoky grass fields, cast his magic eyes, and began to look for Cordyceps. Not long after, I easily saw Cordyceps in the corner of a farmland.
To be precise, I also saw elf bugs.
The cordyceps were not very conspicuous, but the branches and leaves were vigorous, and there was a fat gray elf insect crawling on it: "It has been bred, it seems that it happened during my absence...... Perhaps because the farmland is fertilized more, the probability of elf insects in Flower Town has been greatly improved. ”
In a normal town, if you can produce one elf worm a year, it is a good harvest.
Because of the existence of the smoke mission, Flower Town greatly improves the survival rate of elf insects, and it is almost impossible to miscarry.
As for why a plant can give birth to elf insects, there is not enough data to analyze and make a judgment - it may be related to nutrition. However, the most nutritious plants do not necessarily give birth to elf insects, and malnourished plants may also have elven insects.
"My four snake blood fruit worms were conceived by the blood of snake sea monsters, which is probably a clue...... It's a pity that I still don't understand what conditions trigger the breeding of the elf worm...... Mana radiation, nutrient urging, or genetic mutations?"
Thoughts flashed.
He had already taken out the jade powder and sprinkled it on the leaves of the smoked grass cordyceps, causing the smoked grass worm to be hooked. Watching the smoked grass insects licking the jade powder vigorously, he stretched out his fingers directly with the jade powder. Then, I was bitten by a snap, but it was not very painful and there was no bleeding.
The next moment, the contract of heart-to-heart communication was established, and he could already feel the vague emotions of the little one.
I was happy because I ate jade powder.
"Pack it up. Liszt picked up the smoked grass worm and handed it to the knight to pack it in a jade box, "Rom, this smoked grass cordyceps, protect it." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Rohm replied, his expression very excited, "Flower Town is really a place of knightly glory, and my lord is born to be favored by knightly glory!"
The knight's glory favored such a topic, and Liszt almost listened to it with calloused ears. However, I feel good every time I listen to it, and I don't feel bored.
Contracted smoked grass insects.
Blackberry bugs and pea bugs can only wait for the time being, and the possible distribution of Cordyceps is too wide to be found, so we can only wait patiently for the civilian report.
He plans to set off for Dark Horse Island by boat tomorrow, and while completing the smoke mission, he will contract with the green tea worm by the way.
Haven't left the smoky grass fields yet.
Hearing about the contract with the new elf worm, Galtai quickly came and shot a lot of sycophants.
Liszt did not get lost in the sycophants, he still kept his head clear, and asked casually: "Advisor Galtai, how do you deal with the smoky grass in the town?"
"It's mainly dried and piled up in an open space, and then wrapped in wheat straw, which is usually not very useful. ”
The smell of smoked grass is extremely stinky, and it may be effective in driving away demonic beasts and beasts. Now that Flower Town has bulldozed Thorn Ridge, not to mention that the demonic beasts can't be seen, even the wild cats can't be seen, so the smoked grass is basically useless. The hay that was harvested was piled up in the open field and left to rot.
But.
Even if the smoky grass is really useless, Liszt won't cut them down - because it's the only good thing that attracts the invisible dragon.
Rationally analyzed, the possibility of the invisible dragon coming to Flower Town again is very small, but in his heart, he is still looking forward to the day when the invisible dragon remembers the smell of smoky grass and comes again.
At that time......
"The value of smoked grass is still there, don't slack off in planting, now with smoked grass insects, keep an area of 100 acres. Also, arrange for someone to manually study the usefulness of the smoked grass, and don't ignore it because it smells bad. Liszt pondered for a moment, then added, "I'll offer you an idea." ”
"Your Excellency, please command. ”
"Smoked grass can smoke away monsters, so have you ever considered diluting and diluting its flavor, and then ensuring that people can't smell it, but it can repel mosquitoes?" he thought of a plant on the earth, wormwood.
The Dragon Boat Festival will hang wormwood at the door.
As for the usual, many people will use wormwood to repel mosquitoes after igniting it, or crush it into powder to fill pillows and sachets, and the moxa sticks in acupuncture are also made of wormwood.
There is probably no wormwood in this world, so Liszt wondered if smoked grass would have the same effect: "You can start studying this aspect...... In short, turn your mind and think more about the possibilities of these plants. ”
Galtai patted his ass and said, "Your Excellency, you always have genius ideas! I will arrange for serfs to study whether smoked grass can repel mosquitoes as soon as possible." ”
Liszt offered an idea, and he would only think of it, without the idea of using his brain.
Without experiencing the baptism of the industrial revolution, human thinking will only be limited to set rules and regulations, which he is very helpless.
......
The dragon horse is about to give birth.
The one-eyed Barton, who was already lame on one leg, was very uneasy, and came to the stable from the hospital bed on crutches to personally take charge of the delivery of the dragon horse.
Liszt inspected the town of flowers, and came to visit his old buddy in the evening, the dragon horse, had a strong affection for his predecessor, it was his birthday gift, and it was also the sustenance of his knightly dream, and there was some emotional entanglement about the relationship between father and son.
Liszt, the traverser, also liked this docile little mare.
However, since taming the dragon horse, the fire dragon horse has appeared less and less, and has gradually become a fertility tool. Touching its fiery red mane, Liszt couldn't help but whisper: "After you give birth, I will ride you again." ”
The fire dragon horse seemed to understand this, and the horse's head gently rubbed Liszt's arm, and made a slight sound: "Huh." ”
Get intimate with the fire dragon for a moment.
Liszt looked at the one-eyed Barton on crutches: "Barton, how is your leg injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, although Barton's leg is lame, but his body has survived, I hope the lord will not dislike it, and Barton can continue to raise horses and drive for the lord. ”
"Of course you can continue to raise horses for me, and after a while, I will build a castle on Black Horse Island, and when the time comes, you will have more horses to raise, which may be very hard. ”
"I'm not afraid of hard work, please rest assured, Sir, Barton will definitely raise the castle's horses to be strong and healthy!" said One-Eyed Barton excitedly.
For him, staying and working in the castle is the best place to go.
Everybody would envy the castle's work - of course, it would be better if the blizzards could stay away, and Barton felt a dull pain in his calves at the thought of the crazy big dogs, where he was pierced by a mad blizzard, a rock-freed rock.
"Take good care of your injuries, and leave the heavy work to the five male servants who are learning to raise horses. Whether it's in the compensatory mentality or Valuing Patton's talent in horse breeding, Lister will continue to hire Patton One-Eyed.
He is a man who misses the old days, and as long as the minions do not make mistakes, he does not intend to dismiss anyone.
