Is it true that buckwheat doubles to produce seeds?

After climbing over two slippery slopes, over a section of muddy water, through a thorn tree, and through a long and winding valley, in front of the team, finally appeared an open valley mouth.

I can't remember how many times I exhaled heavily, but the messenger was the first to climb the slightly elevated valley mouth.

The vision suddenly cleared.

The familiar village of Ekri......

Wait a minute!

The not-so-familiar village of Akri was instantly imprinted in the eyes of the messenger.

"Buckwheat doubles seeds, it's true."

He stood for dozens of seconds before Ante muttered the words.

I don't need him to remind me.

While the messenger was in a daze, Knight Harvey, the two most experienced police officers in the team's seat belt, the two most skillful cowherd helpers selected for the treatment of the ploughing cattle, the five sturdy serfs brought in exchange for the legendary bee magic, and the two little ones who had come to find a stutter for a change of place, had set foot on the mouth of the valley where the only one in the village of Ekri was connected to the outside world.

A group of twelve people, the first moment they walked out of the valley, the first moment they saw the village of Aikeri, each of them was the same as Ante, and their eyes immediately opened involuntarily.

Directly in the direction of the valley were six or seven small scattered buckwheat fields of strange shapes, uneven, narrow and cramped, and the most spacious one could only accommodate two people working at the same time.

This was a very common situation in feudal agrarian societies with low productivity, and as long as the lord did not prohibit it, every land that could be cultivated, or had the opportunity to be cultivated, would be exploited as much as possible as a source of food.

Of course, it is limited by water, soil quality, fertility, distance, safety, labor efficiency and so on...... No matter what village you are in, such a share of land is the least valued and the least labor-intensive.

In the impression of Harvey Knight and others, the buckwheat growing in this kind of land is always overgrown with weeds at the bottom, with thin and twisted stems and branches in the middle, and scattered withered leaves on top, and as for the top position that is most concerned by the farmers, there will always be only a dozen, or even a few poor shriveled buckwheat seeds.

At this moment, the six or seven cramped buckwheat fields that appeared in front of Harvey Knight and his party were still overgrown with weeds on the ground, the thin stems and branches in the middle were still there, the withered leaves on them were still the same, and even the buckwheat seeds were still shriveled ......

The only difference is that the number of buckwheat seeds at the top of these buckwheat, which is really the most valued by farmers and the aborigines of the medieval world, is not the same at all!

Almost every buckwheat plant in the buckwheat plot presented to Harvey Knight and the others had buckwheat seeds on the top, far exceeding, far beyond what they had seen in similar fields.

Far exceeding, greatly exceeding means: Harvey Knight and the others can't even convert the appropriate multiple in their minds for a while!

The reason why the senses are so obvious is that the seed setting rate of these buckwheat fields has even reached the point where there is sufficient water, fertile soil, and ...... care Reach the seed setting level of one of the best buckwheat fields in a village!

At this moment, the sun is just right, and the illiterate people of the Harvey Knights, who have no contact with it at all, and are completely unable to understand any so-called rhetorical devices, however, they can naturally feel:

The strange shape of these cramped plots, the barren land overgrown with weeds, the twisted and shriveled stems, and the scattered and withered yellowish leaves, the buckwheat seeds, which are still a little shriveled on them, but are abundant, are exceptionally bright! Exceptionally beautiful! Extraordinarily impressive!

For a feudal agricultural society, "more fruits" is undoubtedly the most moving and supreme beauty in itself!

Any person in a feudal agrarian society will be deeply fascinated by such a beauty:

"Buckwheat doubles seeds, is it true?"

"Buckwheat doubles seeds, it's true......"

"Buckwheat doubles seeds, it's true!"

The incredulous skepticism gradually passed into a murmur, and the silent murmur gradually turned into a definite emotion, and finally synthesized into a neat, exhilarating, shocking, irrepressible admiration:

"Buckwheat doubles seeds, it's really !!"

After the neat admiration, the eyes of the crowd naturally turned to the source of the doubling seed.

Every serf, police officer, cowherd helper, and even the two little ones who followed the Harvey Knight, as well as the Harvey Knight himself, were all veterans of farm work, and they could not be seen from all of them:

These buckwheat fields are not fundamentally different from the villages of the Harvey Knights, the other villages of the Barony of Akford, and even the countless other villages under the light of the Lord's glory.

Then, the only reason that can double the buckwheat and produce seeds several times is definitely - it can only be between these buckwheat fields.

Everyone looked up in unison and looked at the place, the honeycombs hanging high on the wooden poles that were erected high.

Exclamation, envy, yearning, anticipation, piety......

With all sorts of mixed emotions, until the blue smoke rising from across the valley on behalf of the outsiders, until a few strong, vigilant police officers appeared at the foot of the mountain, until the messengers and police officers from the village of Akri stood before the group of people from the Harvey Knights, most of whose eyes remained on the honeycomb.

Confirm your identity, ask for your intentions, and inspect your belongings......

A series of standard procedures for outsiders to enter the village have been completed, and it has been an hour and a half later.

Walking down the hillside that connects to the outside world and actually entering the village of Akrya, everyone soon sees another scenery that is completely different from other villages in the medieval world:

What a flat road!

What a neat ditch!

It is well known that the village's natural dirt roads, which have hardly been hardened and not maintained at all, are constantly experiencing a cycle of scorching, drying, and muddy sinking day after day, year after year of exposure to the sun and rain.

When it rains, villagers, especially those with large animals and carts that need to be tended to with extra care, tend to be in awe of the swampy, trap-ridden dirt roads, and then logically "accidentally" step into roadside crop fields to pass on these rather hard, yet relatively safe roads.

It is also logical that in order to protect their hard-won fruits of labor from being trampled on, the owner of the land will naturally dig one pit after another by the side of the road and in the land close to the road to prevent pedestrians, large animals, and the occasional "carelessness" of cars.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Although the medieval world has nothing to do with this famous slogan involving logistics speed in the standard industrial era for the time being, even if it is only for the sake of Wu Qingchen's usual walking safety, the Earth team has long been disgusted by the bad road conditions in the medieval world.

Taking advantage of this roadside artificial honeycomb operation, the Earth team took the opportunity to stuff the road standards and ditch standards into it, taking advantage of the yearning and awe of the villagers of Ai Cree for the honeycomb, forcing the villagers to voluntarily squeeze out more than a month, almost all of their free time, and finally made the main road and main ring road of Ai Cree's village reach - for the earth, the construction director is probably not too negligent in his duties, and can barely fight for a suspended sentence - but for the medieval world, it has been neat, clean, and the standard is appalling.

The potholes on the surface of the road, the gaps in the sides have been filled with slime; The road as a whole is used by several strong oxen to drag heavy logs back and forth and repeatedly tamp; Referring to the design method of the earth, the center of the road is slightly raised, which is conducive to drainage; The top of the road is paved with a layer of small gravel to improve wear resistance and friction......

"the ...... Ante......&@¥%......"

Knight Harvey admired this high-level road rarely seen in the medieval world in amazement, and suddenly there was a voice of conversation next to him.

The Harvey Knight turned his head and saw that the messenger from the village of Akri was talking to his messenger, and the messenger from the village of Aqua seemed to be explaining something, and Ante nodded in response.

After a long series of conversations, noticing the inquiring gaze of the knight, Ante trotted over.

"Sir, Pamela......" Ante pointed to the messenger in the village of Ekri, indicating that this was what the other meant: "...... It is said that there are freshly buried honeycombs on both sides of the road, so it is best not to alarm them, and I hope that everyone can walk in the middle of the road a little later. ”

"Hmm."

It was a reasonable request, and Knight Harvey nodded.

"That'...... I'm going to talk to everyone? ”

"Hmm." Knight Harvey nodded again.

Ante turned and walked towards the crowd.

Waiting for Ante to explain and prepare to lead everyone into the village, the Harvey knight spoke again: "Wait a minute......"

Ante turned his head.

Immediately after, in Ante's surprised gaze, and in the surprised gaze of the knight leader, the Harvey knight turned over and dismounted: "I'll also walk in the middle." ”

"Okay." Ante took the old man's horse and prepared to step again.

"Wait a minute."

Immediately afterward, in Ante's even more surprised gaze, and in the eyes of the knights who led the crowd even more surprised, the Harvey knight put the leather armor on his war horse, the war hammer hanging on the saddle, the long sword, the whip, the kettle, and the long dagger...... and other items were taken off one by one, put them in the hands of the police officer and the cowherd helper, and then took out a few soft cloths from his arms, wrapped the hooves of the war horse one by one, and then stroked the neck of the war horse with satisfaction, and explained to Ante: "Now it's okay, let's go." ”

Walking behind the warhorse, watching the warhorse's much lighter footsteps, which would not cause any damage to the road, the Harvey knight nodded slightly and with satisfaction again.

For as long as he can remember, the Harvey Knight has been accustomed to the bad condition of the country roads, just as long as bad days, bad worlds, and countless other things.

The Harvey Knight tried, tried many times, and even, from the beginning of his father's father, he had been working hard, but had hardly caused any change worth mentioning.

Harvey Knight thought that this was the so-called natural destiny.

Until you see the buckwheat field at the mouth of the valley in the village of Ai Cre, and see the road of the village of Ai Cree.

The Harvey knight suddenly discovered that these innately destined bad things didn't seem to be as solid as they imagined.

Unlike the ignorant villagers who only know how to sigh, countless painful attempts, experiences, observations and sentimentalities have made Harvey Knight know how difficult these changes are, and how much luck and hardship they mean.

It is precisely because of this that it is needed and deserves to be cherished even more.
