Chapter 81: Experimental Field
The land of Yunwu is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the land area is not large, but it is said that the people's lives are very rich and happy.
The Land of Cloud Witch is also a feudal country, but it is different from the traditional monarch system of the Ye Kingdom. The Kingdom of Cloud Witches seems to believe in their gods more, and the "High Priest" under the emperor is equivalent to the auxiliary minister of the Ye Kingdom, and has supreme power. Sometimes, if the four high priests were united, they could still influence the emperor's thoughts.
Legend has it that these four high priests have "supreme power", which can reach the heavens and the earth and understand people's hearts below. It is said that they often study strange witchcraft, and can even control people's souls and communicate with dead spirits......
Hatsuki didn't believe that they could have such great power. But in addition to not believing it, there are still a little doubts in the end: even such a thing as her and Xie Siyun swapping bodies has really happened, so what else can't happen on this continent?
So Chu Yue's heart became more and more determined: she must help Xie Siyun get things done in this Pearl Village as soon as possible, and then go to find these high priests to see if she and Xie Siyun can solve the situation that she and Xie Siyun are in now.
The sooner you solve it, the sooner you will be free.
But it turns out that in this place, others have studied things that may not yield results after so many years, and even if they take the small book that Mr. Yin gave them, they may not be able to produce results so quickly.
Chu Yue roughly counted, and now in her hands, in addition to the original three rooms they have, the people of Pearl Village have contributed a total of about ten acres of paddy fields. Each family actually contributed no more than three points, but that was enough.
In the early month, the ten acres of paddy fields were roughly planned into an average of five parts, each of which was put into different species and different densities of pearl mussels, and then observed and adjusted them one by one according to the records in Mr. Yin's book and the results they had obtained from practice.
No matter where the mussels are placed, each villager must record a series of details such as the depth of the water, water temperature, wind strength, and the state of the mussels in the paddy field where the mussels are placed three times a day. Hatsuki wrote down what he was going to write down and asked Yaren to transcribe it and distribute it to every household.
If any family is cheating or lazy, the early moon also noted very clearly on the paper distributed: as long as there is a lazy person, one percent of the future profit will be deducted, and if it is found that it will be deducted once, if it is deducted, it will directly abandon the pearl field, and the family will be kicked out of the experimental team.
Under such strictness, although it is not said that the data is 100% accurate, it will still be 90%.
And Xie Siyun's side did not stop as he planned, each of them performed their own duties, and Pearl Village seemed to have begun to flourish.
But on Chu Yue's side, it didn't go well, and she and Mr. Yin's account encountered the same problem: when everything was fine, they could wait until the female mussel laid eggs. But no matter how stable the environment they create, every time the mother mussel lays eggs, there will definitely be problems. Either the eggs are born and die after entering the seawater, or the mother mussel behaves abnormally before laying eggs and finally dies violently.
Mr. Yin's real success in the experiment was in the vats in his yard, and it was not 100% successful, which made Chu Yue puzzled.
There is also a problem: they have clearly obtained the female mussels in the sea, but there are some female mussels that have no signs of conception from beginning to end, which makes Chu Yue also very headache.
As mentioned in Mr. Yin's notebook, if the water temperature can be controlled within a certain level, the parotid gland of the female mussel will mature little by little, and then it will give birth to eggs.
Hatsuki agrees: after all, in modern times, freshwater cultured pearls seem to be more common than saltwater cultures, probably because of better control of water temperatures.
It wasn't that Chu Yue didn't think about carrying out a freshwater aquaculture program in this place, but now they don't have this condition, and this continent is different from where Chu Yue once was, so Chu Yue has no other choice.
Just when Chu Yue didn't sleep well for three consecutive days in order to observe the pearl mussels, Xie Siyun made a breakthrough there: he, Xie An and a little apprentice of Professor Xie An joined forces to finally completely enter the undercurrent of the pearl paddy field in their third room! They discovered that there was a nest-like place of giant pearl mussels, where thousands of pearl mussels lived.
And because of the undercurrent and special terrain there, it seems that they are all colored mussels just from the color of the shells of which pearl mussels!
This made Chu Yue also very excited, and suddenly patted his head: "I remember seeing it before, saying that it is the color of the shell of the pearl mussel, and the pearl inside is most likely what color it is." How did I forget about it? People here rarely see colored beads and colored mussels, so they have never had such an understanding, but we are different there! We'sβ"
Chu Yue's excitement stopped abruptly in Xie Siyun's thoughtful eyes staring at her, and turned to fear: she seemed to have said something!
Sure enough, Xie Siyun looked at Chu Yue, who had dark circles under his eyes, and changed his appearance of not liking to talk in the past, and began to ask: "Chu Yue, what about you?" What is that place for you? It's definitely not Seisui-an, right? β
Chu Yue opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know where to start even if she wanted to talk nonsense.
Xie Siyun didn't plan to let Chu Yue go so easily, but continued to ask, "Where did you come from?" It's clear that I've been in that Qingshui Nunnery since I was a child.,It's a small gas bag.γ Why is it so different now? You said you had seen something about pearl mussels before, where did you see it? You also say that we are different here, so you are not from our place, so where are you from? β
This man, how can there be so many problems?!
Chu Yue was speechless for a while, it wasn't that she didn't want to tell Xie Siyun the truth, but she was afraid that if she said it, she would think she would be a madman. If you let others know about it again, you have to take her to the torture and serve her to make her confess.
In the midst of Chu Yue's thoughts, she was silent for a long time.
"Heyβ"
In the end, he only heard Xie Siyun sigh, and then stretched out his hand and gently patted Chu Yue's shoulder: "That's it." If you don't want to say, I won't ask any more. It's just the first moon, you must remember that you know about this matter, and no third person can know about it. Even if it is Jing Lixin, who has grown up with you since childhood, you must never tell him such things. β
In his eyes, there was a deep worry: "Everyone knows that you grew up in Qingshui Nunnery since you were a child. I don't have to ask where you're from or who you are, but others don't, you know what I mean? β
This man ...... Is it protecting her?
Yes, they always swap bodies now, and he naturally wants to protect himself.
Chu Yue nodded seriously and seriously: "I know." β
Xie Siyun smiled slightly, and regained his previous appearance as if he was not cold, but a little alienated from the other layer: "Okay, I'll go see those pearl mussels for you tonight, you sleep, look at the dark circles under your eyes, if you don't know, you still think I beat you up yesterday." I don't take the name of the wicked husband, so you should rest sooner. β
is clearly saying good things, but why does Chu Yue just think that this man has something to say?
It's just that before Chu Yue could say anything, he looked at Yaren and hurriedly ran in: "Ah Yue, something happened!" Xue Ran made a commotion over there! β
Xue Ran is the one who gives Chu Yue the most headache these days.
He was originally just a farmer in Pearl Village, and his family had some good paddy fields, and his life was one of the better among the villagers in Pearl Village.
Of course, there is a big reason why his life is good, because he is Yan Sulan's cousin.
On weekdays, he looks mature and steady, but after giving the two parts of his family's paddy field to Chuyue for experiments, he is always looking for trouble.
The first lazy person who doesn't like to record well is her, after the first month was punished according to their agreement, Yan Sulan came to the door to intercede, and the first month was not easy to do, and in the end she could only choose to offend Yan Sulan, and still punished him.
But after the punishment, Xue Ran became more and more hanging. People don't say that they won't give the paddy fields to them in the early moon, they still offer the paddy fields with a smile, but they always want to steal the female mussels they put in the fields.
However, the female mussels in his field are still making some progress, and they have already given birth to eggs, and what Chu Yue is most afraid of is that he is going to make trouble!
Sure enough, I'm afraid of something.
When Chuyue walked towards Xue Ran's house, Yaren didn't forget to tell her what was wrong.
It turned out that Xue Ran drank too much wine tonight, and after returning home, he went into the water and fished out their pregnant female mussel from the water, saying that he wanted to cut it open and take a look.
Xue Ran's daughter-in-law wants to live a good life, so she naturally wants to stop Xue Ran.
But he didn't expect that Xue Ran drank too much, and between pushing and shoving his daughter-in-law, he directly pushed his daughter-in-law into the paddy field.
It doesn't matter if it's just pushed into the paddy field, but Xue Ran's previous action of entering the paddy field was very rude, and he trampled on many big mussels that they had put into the paddy field to maintain balance.
After Xue Ran's daughter-in-law fell into the paddy field that was not deep, her head and neck smashed straight into the big mussels that were trampled on-
When they didn't even know what was going on, Xue Ran's daughter-in-law had already bled all over the paddy field and died on the spot!
