Chapter 80: I've Been Hungry for a Long Time

Walking slowly between the mountains and rivers, walking and stopping, when the sun set, Liu Xiu was already hundreds of miles away from the 'peach orchard', and there were no accidents on the way, but he did not see a more beautiful scenery than the peach forest.

Standing on a small hill, Liu Xiu watched the sunset and thought about how to spend the night.

A small village can be vaguely seen ahead, but according to his understanding of the world, if he is a stranger who rushes away, although he will not be driven out, no one will take care of him, after all, it is not a relative, most of the low-level villagers here are very simple, but there should still be xenophobia and vigilance.

"Forget it, just find a place to camp tonight......"

After pondering for a while, Liu Xiu didn't bother anymore, it was great to light a bonfire, and there was no need to worry about mosquitoes in early spring, and this is not in the mountains, so you don't have to worry too much about when a beast will run out, just pay a little attention to the surroundings.

With a decision, Liu Xiu looked for a camping location.

Inspecting the surroundings, Liu Xiu's gaze was certain for a moment, and then his gaze shifted to the direction he was looking at in the last second, and then, a trace of extreme surprise and disbelief flashed in his eyes!

After coming to this world for so long, there are not many things that can cause much fluctuation in his heart, but now such a thing has happened.

"Is it at all?"

Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu immediately went down the hill to a field a few hundred meters ahead with anticipation and excitement.

Because he was too excited in his heart, Liu Xiu's movements couldn't help but be a little faster, and the distance of a few hundred meters was instantaneous.

The field is littered with plant seedlings, the largest of which is only about 10 centimeters tall, and is obviously artificially planted.

What made Liu Xiu excited was these plant seedlings, which he couldn't see very clearly from a distance before, but now he was squatting in the field and watching, and Liu Xiu was more and more excited.

"Yes, it's really this thing, there is such a thing......"

Looking carefully at the plant seedlings in front of him, Liu Xiu muttered to himself, there was an unreal feeling, there was actually such a thing, and it was artificially planted!

However, I have been in this world for so long, and I have never seen anyone develop the true use of this kind of thing, so what is the purpose of this thing?

At this moment, Liu Xiu felt that his biggest harvest this time was the crop seedlings in front of him, even if the scenery behind him disappointed him, it was worth the trip!

Liu Xiu used to be a rural baby, and although she didn't know all the crops, she didn't think that rice grew from trees, as some city people do.

He knew the plant seedlings in front of him, and even planted them at home when he was a child, and he was the main source of income for the family for a while.

"Tobacco seedlings, there are tobacco seedlings in this world, and they are artificially planted......"

Liu Xiu gently flicked the cigarette in front of her, and her heart was replaced by surprise and excitement.

At this time, what appeared in front of him was actually a smoke seedling, and after careful observation, it was confirmed!

Seeing the cigarettes, Liu Xiu thought of cigarettes and subconsciously swallowed saliva, how long has it been since he smoked it? Liu Xiudu almost forgot the smell of smoke.

Although Liu Xiu used to be a little addicted to smoking, smoking every day has become a habit, but after coming to this world, he was forced to quit smoking.

With cigarettes, there will be cigarettes in the future, although it is not as comfortable as the exquisite cigarettes that were once smoked, it is also good to make tobacco and roll a big horn to be nostalgic.

Thinking of the smell of smoke, Liu Xiu's throat itched, but the cigarette in front of him couldn't be smoked, which was a kind of torture for him.

Gently exhaled a breath to calm his mood, Liu Xiuxin said that the smoke seedlings have appeared, will the matter of 'coming one' be far away?

Forcing himself not to think about the smell of smoke, Liu Xiu looked at the smoke seedlings in front of him thoughtfully.

When he was a child, his family planted tobacco leaves, and he personally participated in it, this thing also needs to be transplanted with seedlings, and when it is mature, the tobacco leaves are collected for baking, and there seem to be several baking grade standards, and the standards are different and the prices are different.

The tobacco leaves after roasting will be processed into finished cigarettes, which involves processes such as incense, which is not known to Liu Xiu.

However, the tobacco seedlings in front of him are not the planting method in his memory, more like directly scattering the seeds in the ground and letting them grow naturally, with a lot of weeds in a mess, and the harvest problem is worrying.

Not long after looking at the smoke seedlings, Liu Xiu's heart moved, and he looked up not far away.

On the field over there, an old farmer hurriedly came over, still carrying a fork in his hand, and when he came closer, he looked at Liu Xiu vigilantly and asked: "This posterity, what are you doing sneakily in my field?" ”

This is the owner of this field......

Comparing hearts to hearts, the crops in the fields are the lifeblood of farmers in a large sense, and Liu Xiu will also run to question if he finds someone in his field.

Getting up, Liu Xiu looked at the other party and arched his hand slightly: "Old man, the younger generation has no malicious intent, just take a look at it with curiosity when you see this crop here."

"That's it, then you can see it, hurry up" The old farmer hesitated for a moment and said in a slightly slowed tone, but he still looked at Liu Xiu uneasily, and it was estimated that he would not be relieved if he didn't leave.

Liu Xiu understood this mentality, and did not leave, but pointed to the tobacco seedlings in the field and asked, "Old man, may I ask what this is?" What is it used for? ”

Hearing this, the old man looked at Liu Xiu's dress, and said that it should be from the city, he didn't even know this, but he also patiently explained: "This is a kind of medicinal material, I heard the doctor say, it seems to have the effect of treating headaches and soothing the spirit, I don't know the rest, I don't grow much old man, and I can barely subsidize some household expenses by selling them to medicinal herb dealers."

After listening to this, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "In this way, old man, do you have anything after it matures?" ”

If anything, Liu Xiu has to sell it anyway, and then ...... Don't be in a hurry, just think about the gluttonous worm and drill out .......

If the old farmer didn't have it, he said that it was a medicinal herb, and he wanted to go to the pharmacy to find it.

"There are some," the old farmer said after a moment's thought.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Liu Xiu immediately asked, "Can you sell me a little?" ”

"This ......," the old farmer looked at Liu Xiu and hesitated without speaking.

Liu Xiu's heart was like a mirror, and she took out more than ten copper plates from her arms and said, "I don't know how the old man sells them?" ”

Seeing the money in Liu Xiu's hand, the old man gritted his teeth, raised the price by one-third and said, "Fifteen copper plates a catty!" Don't be too expensive, it's a lot of pounds after this thing is dried."

Hearing this price, Liu Xiuxin said that it was really not expensive, after all, the average grain in this world was only one or two copper plates and a catty, he keenly noticed the fleeting cunning in the old man's eyes, and did not care, in this green and yellow season, it is understandable that he wants to make some money, and he did not raise the price to an outrageous extent as a pig slaughter.

In fact, if the old farmer raised the price by a hundred times, Liu Xiu would not hesitate to spend money to buy it, how long has it been gluttonous, and it is worth smelling the smell of tobacco leaves......

"Okay, I don't know where it is?" Liu Xiu couldn't wait to ask.

Seeing that there was money to be made, the old farmer didn't reject Liu Xiu so much, put down the fork in his hand and said, "What about my house, why don't you go with me to get it?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the copper plate in Liu Xiu's hand, as if he was afraid that the money in his hand would fly.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "It's okay to ......", saying this, he pointed to the tobacco seedlings in the field and asked, "Old man, can I also buy some of these seedlings?" ”

"What do you buy seedlings for?" The old man was wary again.

Liu Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I'm going to get it back to plant, but don't worry, old man, my house is far away from here, and I just grow it myself, and I won't rob you of your business."

"That's it, that's okay, give two copper plates, pick as much as you want, I have to remind you, the seedlings have to be planted within two days, and they can't be sun-dried, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to plant them......" The old farmer who made money didn't care about Liu Xiu's strange hobbies.

Of course, there is no need for the old farmer to remind him, Liu Xiu gave him two copper plates, and then squatted down and began to collect seedlings, although the old man said that he could pick as many as he wanted, but he was not insatiable, and only picked about a hundred seedlings to stop.

After putting the seedlings in the basket, Liu Xiu walked with the old farmer to his house to sell ripe sun-dried tobacco leaves.

After walking more than 1,000 meters in the field, the two came to a small village, where there were only about 100 households, much smaller than Linbian Village, and a poor word ran through everything.

The polarization of this world can be called a perversion, the rich are like Xia Haitang, and a few thousand gold is estimated to be only an insignificant number, and it is a problem for the poor low-level villagers to eat.

This can't be helped, the productivity of the peasants at the bottom is not high, and it is strange that they can only get rich by digging in the fields for the rest of their lives.

The village is quiet and peaceful at sunset, with smoke rising from cooking, chickens and dogs barking and children playing.

Following the old farmer on the road to the village, Liu Xiu found that some villagers were discussing something in groups of three or five with great interest, even if he, a strange foreigner, only glanced at it at most.

Listening attentively, Liu Xiu vaguely heard words like ironclad bandits.

So Liu Xiu asked the old farmer who led the way curiously: "Old man, they all seem to be very happy, could it be that something good has happened in the village recently?" ”

"That's not it, just yesterday, the Ironclad Army dispatched to exterminate the bandits entrenched in a mountain dozens of miles away from us, they have hundreds of people, those guys have to loot around twice a year, and now they are exterminated by the Ironclad Army, of course, they are very happy, but unfortunately, it seems that the leader of the gang of bandits has run away, but the problem is not big, he can't become a climate alone, the Ironclad Army will not let him go, and the life will be a little better in the future" The old man replied with a smile.

Liu Xiu said in his heart that this was the case, the bandits were hateful, and of course they were very happy to be exterminated, saying that Liu Xiu knew that there were actually many bandits in this world, but he had never seen them.

Then he thought about it, the scale of the bandits with hundreds of people is not enough to dispatch the Iron Armor Army, right?

Thinking of the ironclad army he saw yesterday, Liu Xiuxin said that the torrent of steel to deal with hundreds of bandits was to abuse vegetables? It's just bullying, right?

Then he thought of Liu Qingqing, the people in the reserve said that they went out to 'cultivate', could it be that they went to suppress bandits?

Tsk, if that's the case, this is real combat training......
