Chapter 0004: Hundred Treasure Garden

After walking the vegetable field, Zeng Zhi walked along the stream to the paddy field.

The creek is supposed to originate from the mountains, although it is not large, but the amount of water is still considerable, about three meters wide, it looks like half a river, and the gurgling stream is very clear. Zeng Zhi lay on the small wooden bridge across the river, stretched out his hand to feel the water temperature, it was very cool, and the water quality was definitely the quality of a first-class water source, and even surpassed. In the small river, Zeng Zhi also found some cold-water fish active, such as white fish, salmon and the like.

In the place leading to the fields, the stream was diverted into a channel, but Zeng Zhi found that after the diversion, the river water became warm, and the water temperature was about twenty or thirty degrees.

In this regard, Zeng Zhi, who has already seen the magic of this mysterious space, is no longer used to it.

The area of the field is not small, there are 18 pieces in total, separated from a road directly in front of the small courtyard, and there are 9 pieces on the left and right sides, and each of them is roughly in a tic-tac-toe shape, and the area of each piece is 1 acre.

The nine fields on the left side of the path are paddy fields with rice growing in them. On the right is dry land, where wheat grows.

The strange thing is that the nine paddy fields, although they are all planted with rice, show three states at the same time, among which the three paddy fields closest to the upper reaches of the creek are all seedlings, the middle three are all just beginning to draw flowers, and the three downstream are already full of golden rice ears, which are obviously ready to be harvested.

Moreover, Zeng Zhi also found that the varieties of these rice are not the hybrid rice that can be seen now, but the conventional rice that he vaguely remembers when he was a child, that is, the kind of rice varieties that can be kept and the offspring are not separated. It's just that the rice in these paddy fields grows very well, and the particularly intuitive thing is that the three ripe rice, and the rice ears hanging on them, generally have a length of about one foot, which can be compared with the miscellaneous rice cultivated in the best paddy fields now.

This is very rare, you must know that in this era, because of the obvious disadvantages in yield and disease resistance, conventional rice has long been eliminated. However, conventional rice is much better than hybrid rice in terms of rice quality and taste.

In fact, because of the advantages of conventional rice, the country has also done a lot of work to improve conventional rice, and it can even be said that the research level is much higher than that of hybrid rice, and the research and development speed is much faster than that of hybrid rice. However, because farmers can keep seeds, the relevant departments are reluctant to put the new varieties of conventional rice on the market, resulting in the fact that conventional rice is basically not sold in the market. Zeng Zhi's taste for conventional rice was still when he was four or five years old, that is, in the early 90s of the last century, when their family still planted a small amount of conventional rice. However, because of the rapid promotion of hybrid rice, around 923, their family no longer planted conventional rice.

There is also a situation that the three pieces of rice in the same growth state are obviously divided into three types, one each for indica, japonica and glutinous rice.

Looking at the three golden rice fields that had already matured, Zeng Zhi wanted to harvest them to verify whether the rice was the same as other vegetables and fruits, and three of them would mature immediately after harvesting. However, looking at the area of more than three acres, Zeng Zhi had no urge to verify this idea. There are no automatic harvesters here, so if you go and buy a sickle to harvest yourself, it will take a long time. Therefore, this thought is terrifying to think about, and Zeng Zhi directly thanked him.

The situation of the 9 wheat fields is similar to that of the rice fields, and there are three types of growth.

Leaving the field, Zeng Zhi turned to the pond.

The area of this pond is also not small, with more than ten acres. Lotus roots are planted in the pond, and ducks and geese play among the lotus leaves.

In addition, Zeng Zhi also saw that there were a lot of fish, shrimp, turtles, and mussels in the pond, and they were all fat, and Zeng Zhi's saliva was about to flow out.

The water from the pond is also diverted from the creek, but it is diverted above the vegetable furrow on the left side of the small courtyard, and after it has been watered, it flows from the back of the small courtyard and joins the pond. And on the far right side of the pond, there is an outlet, which flows out into the stream.

Because the water flows from a small stream, the pond is also very clear. Not to mention anything else, where can you still see such a clear pond outside, it is rare to see one that does not stink, as if this pond is clear to the bottom, as if you can see through it at a glance.

Standing by the pond for a while, Zeng Zhi, who came back to his senses, continued to start his travel plan.

This time he walked along the small canal that joined the pond and towards the bushes behind the courtyard. In the meadow by the small canal, Zeng Zhi saw three or five cows, some leisurely eating grass, and some drinking water in the canal. Further afield, in the bushes, pigs and sheep live, and chickens can also be seen.

These animals are obviously not afraid of life, and when Zeng Zhi came over, they continued their activities as if they didn't see Zeng Zhi.

Zeng Zhi roughly counted all the cows, and there were only about a dozen cows together, and the same calves, half-sized cows, and adult cows each accounted for one-third. Pigs and sheep are slightly more numerous, roughly twice as large as cattle. As for the chickens, Zeng Zhi did not count them clearly, but in the entire bush, there are at least a few hundred chickens living there, and the ratio of roosters to hens is about 1:9.

Behind this shrub forest where pigs, cows, sheep and chickens live, there is a dense forest connected to the mountains, and Zeng Zhi naturally knows what ordinary fir trees, fir trees, maple trees, pine trees, etc. However, in addition to these common trees, there are many trees that Zeng Zhi did not recognize. Among them is a kind of big tree, the trunk is crimson, the bark is red with dots of golden dots, each plant has to be hugged by two or three people, the tree pole is straight and high, almost dozens of meters high, and only on the crown of the tree there are golden leaves, there are almost no branches, the tree stem is bare and very strange, the scar on the tree pole can not see a single one, and the trunk smells a little faint fragrance.

However, there are very few trees of this kind, and they are all relatively close to the depths of the mountains, Zeng Zhi can only take a look from afar, and dare not go, you know, there are occasional wolf howls and tiger howls in the depths of the mountains, and those fierce insects, Zeng Zhi does not dare to touch them.

After turning around, Zeng Zhi already had a little understanding of this place, in general, this is a treasure garden needed for life.

Finally, back in the courtyard, Zeng Zhi wondered what he should do next, whether to use the products in this mysterious jade pendant space to become a small trader, or to continue his path as a writer, and occasionally obtain some products from the space jade pendant for his own consumption.

After thinking about it for a while, Zeng Zhi didn't have a clue, his mind was completely filled with the excitement of getting this thing, and he couldn't think of anything later, or what, sitting by the river in front of the small courtyard, Zeng Zhi could only do one thing, that is, he held his head and smirked.

I don't know how long I've been happy stupidly, Zeng Zhi, who came back to his senses, felt that his face was about to cramp with a little smile.

The reason why Zeng Zhi didn't continue to be stupid was because he thought of a question: How should he get out? You can't just live in this mysterious jade pendant space all the time, right?

Although there is no shortage of food in it, especially the fact that it will be replenished immediately after consuming some products, Zeng Zhi will not starve to death even if he lives in it forever. However, Zeng Zhi is a person after all, a social animal, in addition to the needs of living materials, there are many other needs, such as the need for women, this is a serious problem, you must know that he has not left a seed for the old Zeng family now. It's not a thing to live here alone.

As soon as this thought got up in his head, Zeng Zhi found himself standing in his rented house again, and couldn't help but touch his head and continue to play silly, the sound of music was not small.
