Chapter Twenty-Six: Decisive Killing
Tang Chang'an is the later Xi'an, Shaanxi, Xi'an belongs to the warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, and the characteristics of the four seasons are also very distinct. The only thing to be thankful for is that Xi'an was originally dry land, and the land situation in Chang'an was not as serious as it deteriorated, although it experienced a drought last year, but now the land is still usable, but it needs to be bothered.
But with a waterwheel, the problem of dry land can be solved.
However, the waterwheel was invented by the Han Dynasty and perfected in the Three Kingdoms, and it was widely used until the Sui and Tang dynasties.
It's just that the most worrying thing is the drought problem, Liu Hai has not studied history, I don't know if there are some small droughts after the second year of Zhenguan, if there is a drought and lack of water, it is difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, which makes Liu Hai very headache.
Fortunately, he is far from the time to divide the fields, and the corn seeds in his hands are not afraid of drought, but can barely support them, and they will not be harvested.
This mountain is an unknown hill in later generations, and it is not known whether it was blown up when the commercial area was established.
At this time, the mountain also looks barren, there is nothing to eat, and even the trees on the mountain, even the bark of the tree has been stripped naked, perhaps by the hungry.
Bangs walked ahead, observing the terrain and nodding secretly, if a piece of land was cleared and circled.
In April and May, it is time to plant the corn kernels in your hand.
When the time comes, they will take turns watching, and when the first corn can be planted, they can leave the seeds for large-scale planting.
Seeing him stop and go, Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward and patted his bangs on the shoulder, and asked with some confusion.
"You said you were going to farm, but it's too early to think about it, right? Even if you want to grow corn, it's too late. If you want to plant something else, it's not the right time. ”
Liu Hai turned his head and glanced at the two of them, and saw that Zhang Da also had the same doubts on his face, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"I just came here to deal with it in a circle, and I didn't think about planting anything now. Clean up the stones in the ground first, and when spring begins and the weather is warmer, you can plant them. ”
Zhang Da breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, although this is a mountainous area, it is not impossible to grow crops.
"I was really afraid just now that you have to plant something at this time, it is a trivial matter if you can't rush out, and wasting seeds will make you feel distressed to death. It's such a cold day, it's not suitable for planting anything. ”
Liu Hai pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. It's not that you can't grow things on such a cold day, you just need materials to build a vegetable greenhouse. In fact, the predecessors have made achievements in this area, and the scholars often have independent greenhouses to raise flowers and grass, and the reason why they didn't think of planting vegetables is because the cost of the greenhouse is too high.
Bangs also have some research in this area, but they don't know how to make plastic yet. If it weren't for that, it would be a good business to build a plastic greenhouse for someone else now.
It seems that he has to find a way to exchange the production method of plastic from the system, Liu Hai pursed his lips, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
However, he also knows that if you want to get the manufacturing method and principle of plastic from the system, the price you have to pay must be very high, not to mention what kind of movement you need to do, just points, you also need a lot of them.
It seems that since the exchange of yeast, the bangs have been leaving the system behind, but they have not carefully studied what can be exchanged for points. Liu Hai shook his head, but now is not the time to check the system, Xu Jie and Zhang Da have been following him closely, and they will talk about it when they go back later.
Thinking of this, Liu Hai couldn't help but look back and say with a smile.
"Let's go ahead, choose one of the better options, and walk around the mountain to get acquainted with it."
Anyway, there is nothing to do at noon today, Xu Jie and Zhang Da naturally will not have any objections, and follow the bangs forward.
He hadn't taken a few steps forward before his bangs felt like he had stepped on something slippery and greasy, and he almost fell backwards. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time, so that he did not fall down the mountain.
He looked at the place he had stepped on just now with horror and horror, that feeling, could it be that he had stepped on something alive?
Zhang Da came over to support him and looked at him in surprise.
"Why did you fall all of a sudden?"
"It's not because of this thing! I said bangs, you are really small enough, just a reptile. ”
Xu Jie leaned over to take a look, squatted down, grabbed a snake that was coiled together but was already stiff from the place where the bangs had stepped on just now, raised it proudly and waved it twice.
"This guy is also lucky enough, last year, the group of people at the bottom of the mountain, their hungry eyes were almost green, and it was not found out. But if you meet us, it's bad luck, this guy's meat is a big supplement, Ah Hai, this can be handed over to you, stew a big pot of snake soup out, my aunt said that your craftsmanship is good. ”
As he spoke, Xu Jie wanted to hand the snake to Liu Hai.
Bangs shook his head and didn't reach out to take it. To be honest, he really doesn't like snakes very much, although not to the point of being afraid, but if he is allowed to hold them directly in his hands, he still can't accept them.
Xu Jie glanced at him with a smile, and wanted to carry the snake into his arms, but Liu Hai hurriedly stopped him when he saw this.
"No, if you carry it in your arms, if this snake is hot, maybe it will wake up and bite you directly, although this is just a vegetable snake, but it is not good to be injured."
While speaking, Liu Hai took a small stone from the side, asked Xu Jie to put the snake on the ground, and smashed the snake's head fiercely, which made the two people next to him gasp for a while, and looked at each other, all of them were shocked by the decisiveness of Liu Hai.
Zhang Da had long been extremely impressed by his decisiveness, but Xu Jie followed him for a day today, and he only knew that Liu Hai was very admirable when he spoke and did things, but he didn't expect that in the face of these little things, it seemed that Liu Hai was very afraid of snakes, but he could make a decision on the spot without hesitation.
This made him look at the bangs, and he added a little caution.
Of course, this alone is not enough to convince him, but it can make him sure that Liu Hai is really not the person who was very cowardly and still needs his protection.
Relieved, Liu Hai grabbed the snake again and stuffed it directly to Xu Jie, but this time he took it without hesitation, looking at Liu Hai's eyes, it was not as weird as just now.
Liu Hai thought silently, as Xu Jie said, this snake meat is a big supplement, and today's dinner has landed again.
Just as he was about to continue walking, he heard a child's voice screaming viciously, and a little boy appeared in front of the three of them.
"You three thieves, hurry up and get my reptile back!"
