The twenty-fifth day of the crossing
Winter is quietly gone, and under the magic of early spring, the fields are beginning to turn green. The mountains in the distance seemed to be covered with a veil of blue. Facing the soft morning glow, the sun embroiders wisps of blessing on this tender green background. Unknown wildflowers cautiously leaned out, next to each other, crowded, scrambling to reveal their enthusiasm and joy to the world. Dotted with the freshly warmed earth.
Qingling put the matter of raising chickens in mind. Now there is no problem with the kang hatching eggs, and the chicks can be kept in the kitchen when they are just out of the shell, and there is no need to worry about freezing.
If you want to do it, Qingling found out the eggs at home, and ordered twenty-six. It is said that this winter, the eggs at home were all given by the villagers.
It seems that each house has been negotiated and sent separately. More people send a dozen, and fewer people send five or six. The other brothers of the Su family refused to ask for it, and in the end they all left it to Qingling.
In ordinary farms, eggs are the best nutritional products, and they are also the best thank-you gifts that people in the village can find. Because of Qingling, they got it, and this winter, Nanshan Village, Sanfeng County, and even Wusu Province no longer froze to death because of the cold. This Nanshan village has made a lot of money because of the pankang and bean sprouts, and has a full winter.
Qingling picked up the eggs one by one and examined them carefully, put them aside with the breath of life, and turned over the twenty-six eggs, a total of eighteen of which were moving.
Qingling plans to hatch ten of them first. Now Yunxi still sleeps with Mingzhu, and there is another room on the right side that is empty, which can be used to hatch eggs.
Qingling picked some dry and soft straw cores and put them on the kang, put the eggs on them, and covered them with an old quilt. Every day, I have to turn the eggs over and see how things are going.
The family asked curiously, and Qingling said: "This kang is so warm, it is estimated that it can hatch chicks." ”
Several children, Mingzhu, including Su Jingyun, are all interested. Keep an eye out for this every day. By the thirteenth day, the chicks came out of the shell, and with the first one, the rest came out one after another. In the end, there were seven more chicks. The chicks that have just come out of the shell have grown fluff for a few days, and they look particularly cute. Clusters of yellow and tender chirps. It has added a lot of vitality to this spring.
For a while, everyone liked some small things very much. In early spring, the weather is still a little cold, so I will keep it in the house first. When I get older, I will move it to the yard and raise it.
Su Jingyun was very interested in hatching eggs, and asked for the remaining eight eggs to try to hatch. Because of Qingling's first reference experience, Su Jingyun also successfully hatched six chicks.
And these chickens are now under the control of the three of them, and Qingling doesn't care. Before Qingling coaxed the children, by the way, if they can really hatch, those chicks will be raised by them in the future, and they will be able to lay eggs when they grow up, and those eggs will also be picked up by them, and they will listen to what to do with the eggs they pick up. All of a sudden, these three of them were as energetic as chicken blood.
Feed the chicks carefully every day, and check carefully to see if these chicks are sick.
The little fat man was also carried and ran around behind the two of them.
Mingzhu has been following Qingling for a while, and everything at home has been done. Now Mingzhu is in charge of all the trivial things at home.
The bright spring breeze blows to the people, and the people take off their clumsy and heavy cotton clothes, which makes people energetic and full of fighting spirit. Every family in the village began to work hard to reclaim the land. Prepare for spring sowing. This land carries their new hope.
Qingling continues to improve the seeds, and the seeds are about to be planted.
Su Jingyun is also very busy these days, and now there are more things at home. The brothers of the Su family, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother went to study with the village chief and the elders of the village.
They don't know anything about the next wasteland, so now they have to huddle and ask the old people in the village what to do next, how to open the land, what is more appropriate to plant, when is the best time to sow seeds, and there are too many things to learn.
So now Su Jingyun is really busy, not only to learn experience, but also to start working directly in the wasteland site he has demarcated. Several men in the Su family are responsible, and they don't want the women in the family to go to the ground. So it's tiring every day during this time. Fortunately, Qingling had given Su Jingyun a medicinal bath to condition his body before, otherwise his body would not be able to hold it.
When Su Jingyun did it for the first day, her hands were shaking when she came back to eat, and Qingling was very distressed when she saw it, but she wouldn't stop it. He's the breadwinner of the family. It's just that it's still growing.
Su Jingyun also refused to let Qingling go to the ground. And Qingling has also had something to do recently. Qingling not only dries the pepper to take the seeds for retention, but also improves the seeds. Therefore, the task of clearing the wasteland at home was handled by Su Jingyun.
Quiet afternoon, in the room
Qingling carefully used her mental power to check the seeds she had soaked in the small wooden pot yesterday.
In her previous life, she had tried to nourish the seeds with Wood Aura, and even used Wood Aura to probe into the inside of the seeds to modify the genetic sequencing inside. Qingling found that the seeds nourished by the aura grew very fast when planted in the ground, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the quality was excellent, and the taste was even more amazing to Qingling, who grew in the era of rapid development of modern agriculture and tasted countless delicious tastes.
Those seeds that have been transformed by C. glacia have all kinds of strange phenomena when they are planted and bear fruit. Some bear fruit of various colors, and some have only one fruit on a tree, and this fruit is very large.
There are also breakthroughs in the original plant temperament, those who like light become dislike light, grow themselves into a ball, and reduce the light area.
When she was in the cultivation realm, Qingling used some important knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine planting and grain cultivation that she had learned in modern times to continuously conduct experiments and attempts, and there were many unexpected gains, and she discovered some secrets and tricks of modifying gene sequencing. I learned how to breed prolific plants and how to grow plants that taste good.
Now, in the Jiaqing Dynasty, a world where the yield of food crops is low, Qingling continues to copy the old business and use the aura to improve some seeds. However, there is a degree in this, and the mass production of seed transformation cannot be too much at once, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
The seeds that will be sown in a few days are now soaking in transparent and clear water, if you reach into the water, you can find the difference between this water and ordinary water, ordinary water is smooth and stagnant, but the water here is a little viscous and heavy, he called this water spiritual water, it is Qingling in the morning when the aura is most active when the spiritual liquid is extracted and melted in the water, it becomes spiritual water.
This spiritual liquid comes from Qingling's painstaking daily absorption of spiritual energy, which is continuously compressed and extracted. Now the aura is thin, and Qingling's ability is also limited. You can only extract a maximum of one drop of Ichor per day.
After many experiments of Qingling, to determine the ratio of good spiritual liquid to water, if the seeds are soaked in such water before sowing, the mass production of such seeds is three times higher than that of ordinary seeds, and it is also more resistant to drought and pests than ordinary seeds.
The rain in the valley is broken and frosty, the rain gives birth to a hundred grains, a Hou Ping is born, the second is a dove brushing its feathers, and the third is Dai Ren descending to Sang. Early today, Qingling heard the cuckoo's cry and saw the cuckoo on the branch. It's time to sow seeds.
Su Jingyun's land over there was also reclaimed in advance. It was faster than the original plan because the people in the village, Wang Dashi, and Tian Jiaxing, came over with hoes to help as soon as they finished their busy work the day before yesterday. With the help of a few people, it was much faster.
In fact, a few of them came to help before, but the brothers of the Su family couldn't help it, so they persuaded them to leave, and now they came here again after they were busy. Nanshan Village is a newly zoned village, in fact, every family has to open up wasteland, and the land that has been opened up will be their own family in the future. So there is nothing in the village that is not careful.
Qingling carried the cultivated seeds to the ground, and with the help of a group of people, two days of work, now chili peppers, then wheat, and sorghum. It's all neatly packed and planted. This is the first time that Qingling has planted seeds cultivated in this method in the Jiaqing Dynasty, and she is also a little worried.
Fortunately, the seeds have emerged according to Qingling's expectations. It's as if everything is moving in a good direction
Under the swaying of the sun, the grain planted before in the entire Nanshan Village has sprouted. The greenery is connected together. There is a relatively unique piece of land that is more than ten acres of seedlings, which cannot be said to be seedlings, and the seedlings are more than ten centimeters longer than those in other fields.
This is exactly the result of the breeding of C. glacios, which was careful not to let the seeds be transformed too well and grow too fast to attract too much attention. But in this way, it seems to be much better than others.
However, Qingling also planned to secretly double the diluted spiritual water in two days and sprinkle some on other fields, so that when they harvested grain in their fields in the later stage, it would not be too prominent.
This time is over, and the whole family is tired. Nothing is going on at the moment. Su Jingyun rested for a few days, and then began to teach a few children step by step.
I was too busy and tired when I was farming, so I went to sleep as soon as I got home and cleaned up. Several of the children's homework was stopped. A few children have become familiar with the children in the village these days, playing house with a few children and playing games. The heart is wild.
As soon as I heard that my fathers said that they were going to start studying, they pouted one by one, but they didn't bargain in the end, and obediently followed their father's pace. A few small ones, even the little chubby dun were circled by Su Jingyun to practice calligraphy and learn.
Qingling also started her own daily practice. And he went up the mountain. This time I have to go farther, the air environment on the mountain is good, and the wood aura is thicker than elsewhere. Since the last time Qingling's Qi cultivation broke through the third layer, it has stagnated and there has been no progress, she wants to go to the mountain to cultivate and see if she can try her luck to break the barrier.
I don't know why, Qingling is always unstable in her heart, in fact, they are living very well now after their lives are stable, of course, they can't be compared with before, and there are people waiting for everything. But there is no worry about food and clothing, and there is no danger. But Qingling trusts her instincts and feels that something will always happen in the future. So she never relaxed for a moment, and when she had time, she pondered how to improve her abilities.
Qingling walked for five or six minutes to the foot of the mountain, and this mountain range was full of emerald green color at a glance, and it should be four or five thousand meters in sight.
Qingling walked up this path, which was a path made by the villagers who walked up the mountain too much, and the villagers would occasionally go up the mountain to catch some game, but they were circling around the mountain, and did not go into the depths of the mountain. In ancient times, the deep forests were really dangerous, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and large beasts.
Qingling planned to go a little deeper, and when she went out, she brought a firewood knife and some powerful insect repellent powder. After walking for a while, the more I walked, the more silent it became, except for the sound of Qingling beating the grass with a stick. Qingling is also a master of the arts, but she is not afraid. The cool and pure air and lively spiritual power here make Qingling feel very comfortable.
Qingling was not afraid, but she did not relax her vigilance, she habitually entered a state of vigilance, and her spiritual power also spread outward, observing every inch of land around her, and there was not a single plant. While taking precautions for safety, observe and find a place for your retreat.
After a while, Qingling found his favorite place to cultivate, this place is in mid-air, it is a big tree about thousands of years old, the trunk is very thick, the branches grow towards the sky with teeth and claws, and the five or six branches to the south crisscross to form an irregular hollow semicircle, which is just suitable for sitting in it Qingling meditating.
Qingling found some soft vines again, and quickly and skillfully flipped her fingers, and after a while, a square cushion was complete. Qingling stood up and clapped her hands, happily looking at her work. Then he looked up at the position he had chosen, and with a slight leap for life, the person grabbed a branch in mid-air, and with a mid-air flip, the person arrived in the semi-circular natural tree house, put the cushion away, sat down, and calmed down to cultivate.
Qingling concentrated her energy and continued to release goodwill and constantly coax the wood aura, after these wood auras entered her body, according to a fixed route, while the body was wandering, the five internal organs also followed the echo of one breath and one breath, so that the various organs in the body could be better cultivated, and finally arrived at the dantian, and the spirit core was one, constantly growing energy, and a big Zhou Tian cultivation was completed.
In the blink of an eye, the sun began to set in the west. The dusk like egg yolks hung in the treetops, and flocks of birds began to return to their nests in the air. Qingling has also stopped cultivating, so let's stop here today, it's too much. After a few clicks, he jumped under the tree, moved his arms, and it was time to go home, so that the people in the family would start to worry again.
On the way back, I happened to encounter a flock of pheasants, and immediately took action, and five or six pheasants were harvested in a few stones. After that, I observed the meeting in the vicinity and found more than a dozen wild eggs. I also dug up some medicinal herbs that I used. I also went home full of harvest.
As soon as I got home, sure enough, the three children and Su Jingyun were waiting in the yard. As soon as Qingling came back, she happily greeted her and helped her take things to the kitchen.
The little fat man saw that Qingling had nothing in his hand, and happily opened his fleshy lotus root hand, "Mother, mother, hug me." You've been out for a long time, do you miss me? ”
He didn't want an answer, he couldn't answer Qingling. began his daily sweet words to Qingling again, "I miss you, I miss you so much, I miss you more than I want to eat meat." I was obedient at home and wrote a lot of words. ”
A few people in the family are used to hearing it, and this little chubby dun likes to say sweet words since he speaks fluently, especially to Qingling, and he has to come every day. I don't know to whom. But every time I listened to it, the corners of my mouth curled.
Waiting for Qingling to walk to the kitchen with the little fat man in her arms, Mingzhu had already steamed the rice, Su Jingyun put down the things and was driven out by Qingling, it was a little late at this time, Qingling would have been here to help, she and Mingzhu quickly found out the dried mushrooms before, made a pheasant stewed mushroom, steamed eggs for a few children, and fried a few vegetables, and the family had dinner deliciously. It's time to rest.
For a period of time after that, Qingling ran up the mountain almost every day, and came back with some game in the evening, and the affairs at home were handled by Su Jingyunzhi and Mingzhu, so that she would not worry about it. After such a period of hard work, when she went out in the morning, Qingling felt that she had found a breakthrough, and finally broke through the fourth layer today.
After the harvest, it was still early, and Qingling planned to find something good on the mountain and surprise them in two days. The most important thing is that it will be Yunyuan and Yunxi's birthdays in two days.
These two children Qingling really like it, it may be that the family suddenly encountered an accident, and Qingling is not their biological mother, and the relationship was not close before. The two children were obedient and insecure. I'm afraid that people at home don't want them. So many times I never dare to be coquettish, and I always take care of the little fat man twice, and help the family work.
Qingling didn't know if she was like this in her previous life, when she was in the twenty-first world, she had gone viral for a while. But she only knows that she likes these two children and has the ability to raise them.
What Qingling is going to find is honey, and it is also accidental, when she was cultivating before, she found that there was a father bear who always took his bear cub to eat honey, but eight times out of ten it was unsuccessful. The two bears are always being chased and howling. Qingling has watched several times.
Qingling did not feel guilty about looting the honey. After that, I spent some time collecting materials, and while a few children were studying, I lightly built a barbecue in the corner of the yard.
On this day, Qingling notified the children in the other rooms early and invited them to come as guests tonight to celebrate Yunyuan and Yunxi's birthdays.
Qingling prepares the wooden frame for fixing the shape, sieves the flour for later use, puts the whole eggs, sugar and salt together in the vat and beats until wet foaming, adds the honey and mixes well, mixes in flour and milk at the same time, pours it into the wooden frame for seven to eight minutes, and padded a layer of white paper between the baking tray and the bottom of the wooden frame, so as to avoid the large bubbles caused by slowing down the rapid heating.
Before entering the oven, put it outside for ten minutes to defoam, Qingling began to stir-fry, today I want to make a pot of meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, and then get a stir-fried vegetables. By the way, put the cake in the oven, and after entering the oven, pull out the baking tray every few minutes, rotate it in a circle, and repeat about three times.
Wait until everything is ready, and the aroma is tangy. Qingling put the dishes on the table, and when everyone was on the table, Qingling and Su Jingyun looked at each other, Su Jingyun meant that Qingling knew, Qingling had no choice but to stand up and say: "Today is a special day, we all want to celebrate the birthday of two lovely children, congratulations to Yunxi and Yunyuan for growing up a year old." ”
As soon as Qingling's words were finished, Yunyuan and Yunxi were surprised and surprised, and it took a while to react, and then Su Jingyun gave gifts to the two children, and what was given to Yunxi was a pair of beautiful beaded flowers, which were not very expensive, but they were chic and novel. What was given to Yunyuan was an inkstone.
The two children were very happy, Mingzhu also gave gifts, and the remaining children also gave all kinds of small gifts, some slingshots, some straw animals. A few children, you say a word, I say a word, happy wow, wow, wow.
Waiting for Qingling to bring the cake, the atmosphere is better, a few children are also very happy, although they have not seen the cake, but the fragrance of the cake is very attractive, plus they think that the most powerful Qingling made, it must be particularly delicious.
The honey cake is very tasty, fluffy, springy and fragrant. Not only a few children like it, but even Su Jingyun and Mingzhu like it. I've eaten it all up to the best. Looking at the cake that there was not, several children still had longing in their eyes.
The little fat man even resorted to coquettishness, and shouted in Qingling's arms: "Mother, mother, I also have a birthday, and I also want to eat cake." ”
Qingling had no choice but to promise him again and again to make him a cake on his birthday. It's not easy to coax it. The other children, except for the eldest Yun Yu, the other few even Yunyan looked at the little fat man with envy, and then looked at Yun Yuan and Yun Xi.
Yun Yuan, who is usually so introverted, is also full of joy at this time, and his eyes are as small as Yunxi. This time made Yunqi and several of them envious.
Qingling looked at the eyebrows and eyes of their children, exchanged glances with Su Jingyun, and smiled.
When they went to bed at night, Yunyuan and Yunxi kept sticking to Qingling, plus the little fat man, pestering them together to tell stories and make various requests, and they coaxed for a while before falling asleep, Qingling sighed, this is a group of little goblins, and they also slept with a smile.
Here, Su Jingyun, who was kicked out, had no choice but to sigh and toss and turn alone.
He was not the only one who was sad, but also the bear brother and his cub who found that the honey was gone in the depths of the mountain, and the two bears whined sadly for a long time.
