Snow cocoon - a plant that grows in the snow, a cold-tolerant, light-loving, drought-tolerant shallow-rooted plant, likes cold climate, has strong adaptability to the soil, requires a lower temperature during the whole growth period, and is a growth cycle a year.

Tall herbaceous, stalks erect, usually unbranched, 3 to 6 m high, with pillar roots growing at each node at the base.

The leaves are slender like needles, the rhizomes are white, evergreen throughout the year, and begin to turn white after entering the mature stage until they are fully mature.

The annual growth can be divided into: seedling stage, ear stage, and flowering stage. The stem of a plant generally grows 1 to 2 cocoons, which are long conical shaped, fully ripe up to 20 to 30 cm, and the grain color is yellowish-white, which is edible.

Snow Callum

Li Xiangfeng really hadn't eaten the local "traditional food" in the northern ice field, and he had relied on the dry food he brought to live these days, but after encountering Li Pingnan and other cavalrymen, he knew from his mouth that the northern ice field could also grow plants.

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan have not studied this, and they have always thought that the aliens living in the Arctic ice field rely on hunting and fishing for a living, who would have thought that grain could really grow here before, and there was no trace of green except for the white expanse around.

"It's early!

There was a sound of talking from the side behind him, which diverted the attention of Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, and then it was Dongfang Zheng who really shook over slowly, and it seemed that he was still in a good mood.

Then followed Dongfang Zhengzhen, Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan came to the cavalry camp to eat, and after sitting on the table and talking a few words, Li Xiangfeng understood that he only eats two meals a day here, that is: one meal is in the morning, called 'big food', and one meal is in the afternoon, called 'small food'.

This makes Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, who are accustomed to three meals a day, still somewhat uncomfortable, but in the concept of "following the customs", Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan can only slowly adapt here.

It's really not good, open a small stove by yourself and make up for it.

It was about 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock that the entire military camp became lively, and naturally it was time to start eating, and it was really the first time for Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan to be able to have a meal in the military camp of aliens.

There is a fixed quota for military meals, and everyone eats as much and what they eat is uniformly distributed. There is also a way to spend money to buy it yourself, and there is really another stall in the camp to sell food.

A large bowl of yellow-white porridge, plus two yellow-white round cakes, and two unknown pieces of meat, this is the standard "big food" of every cavalry in the cavalry barracks.

The first impression on Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan was: shabby!

It's really shabby, this has to be placed in the army of the Wanqin Empire, you let the cavalry eat this? If you don't bomb the camp, it will be your surname.

"Snow porridge, snow cake, snowman monster meat!" Dongfang Zhengzhen said one by one.

After that, he motioned for Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan to eat.

Dongfang Zhengzhen took the lead in "gobbling up", and then Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan took the snow corn cake to learn from Dongfang Zhengzhen's appearance, broke the snow corn cake into petals and soaked it in the snow corn porridge and began to eat it.

Li Xiangfeng has eaten this snow cake before, it was given to him when the cavalry camped and dined on the Snow Dragon Peak, and there was a sweet and sticky feeling, like a rice cake, which was still relatively okay.

But this snow porridge Li Xiangfeng drank it for the first time, and his mouth was a little astringent, and he could feel a large amount of particles in the porridge, which gave people a rough feeling after reaching his throat.

"The grains are ground into powder, and the fine ones are made into cakes, which are easy to chew and swallow and carry, and the coarse ones are cooked into porridge. Dongfang Zhengzhen explained.

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan did not know the origin of this snow cocoon, and there was no record of this plant in the Wanqin Empire.

Then began to ask Dongfang Zhengzhen what this snow cocoon is?

A few days ago, Li Xiangfeng came to the outside of Bingzhou City, and only saw a large number of towering plants on a large area of snow, at that time, Li Xiangfeng was surprised that this plant could grow in the land of ice and snow, and did not ask for other reasons, but now he suddenly remembered, these plants should not be snow cocoons, right?

"Are the tall plants growing outside the camp just snow cocoons?" asked Li Xiangfeng.

"That's right! That is the only food crop in the entire Zhengqin Empire, and it is also the main food!" Dongfang Zhengzhen began to talk about Xue Mao's past and present life.

Dongfang Zhengzhen recalled what was described in the book and began to tell.

The notorious "Freeze Operation" led to the death and injury of all plants and animals in the Zhengqin Empire, followed by a large-scale famine, and the entire land of the Zhengqin Empire was covered with ice and snow for several years, and it was difficult for any plants to grow, let alone hunting and fishing, and even the insects on the land were turned over and eaten.

What followed was the darkest decade of the Qin Empire, known as the "Beast Tide Period", which was a series of horrific foraging campaigns carried out by all the people like wild beasts.

"Changing children and eating, dissecting and planing" seems to have become a very normal thing in this period.

"Moral decay, extinction of humanity" seems to be no longer an adjective in this period, and the hungry people have become numb and sluggish, even if they can eat a little something, who cares where this thing comes from?

Squatting on the side of the road sat a group of people with red eyes and white lips.

I heard that it was because of eating too much kernel meat, and this phenomenon would occur.

"The man is old, the meat is inedible, this woman is creamy, and we can chew it at night. "The export is a chapter, it turns out that he is still a person who has learned.

Naturally, this is only a small microcosm of the thousands of hungry people, and it can be said that it happens every moment.

It is true that as later generations described that period, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are dogs"! There is no benevolence between heaven and earth, because all things have become dogs made of grass without souls, and they are like shells. The saints could not find benevolence because the people had become soulless dogs made of grass.

This dark and turbulent period has made countless people sad and crying, and Dongfang Zhengzhen is no exception.

With his hands clenched tightly, the green tendons were clearly visible like earthworms, and he swallowed the last bite of snow cake into his mouth and said, "These are all thanks to that tyrant!"

The tyrant that Dongfang Zhengzhen was referring to, Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan of course knew that it was the Qin Emperor, but looking at the heavy anger that penetrated Dongfang Zhengzhen's eyes, one could imagine how much Dongfang Zhengzhen hated.

"There is no endless road in the sky, and there is a virtue in the earth. Flowers have a period of prosperity and withering, and water has an endless flow. And Xue Zheng is the god of our Zhengqin Empire!" Dongfang Zhengzhen said categorically.

When Yuan Zhenren - Dongfang Zhengzhen mentioned this title, his whole face showed an extremely proud and reverent expression.

"Yuan Zhenren" and "Yuan Gong" are the honorific titles given to Yuan Daoshi by the aliens living in the entire northern ice field, and this honorific title is a supreme glory in any period and in any empire.

There is no other reason, the seed of Xue Yu is the seed that the Taoist priest surnamed Yuan brought from the divine realm by sacrificing his life.

Born in a wealthy family in Shengjing, he cultivated Taoism since childhood, realized Taoism at the age of 10, reached the level of intermediate Taoist at the age of 13, reached the level of senior Taoist at the age of 16, became the ultimate Taoist at the age of 21, and was called "Lingdao" at the age of 25!

After the Frozen Operation, Yuan Ping refused the request of the Wanqin Empire to clear the customs, and remained in Shengjing to give morality.

The arrival of the "Beast Tide Period" made Yuan Ping disillusioned and powerless to return to the sky! If he wanted to end everything, he had to let grain grow again on this frozen land.

There has never been a grain on this continent that can be grown in this cold and freezing environment, and the only way to get this is to ask God.

The ultimate concept of Taoism is to ascend to immortals, and at this time, Yuan Ping has completely entered the legendary god realm, just ask these self-proclaimed immortals, why would such a tragic thing happen in the world.

And no one knows about the experience, only what happened next.

A few years later, the many ministers in the Shengjing Palace, who were arguing, saw a scorching white glow shooting from the southwest and smashed straight towards the main hall.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Yuan Ping, who was covered in blood and covered in blood, got up from the ground, and looked around at the people who came up around and fainted on the ground after saying "will do this".

When the great priest and the great physician hurriedly arrived, Yuan Ping was already exhausted, and he was always holding a cloth bag tightly in his hand.

After everyone worked hard to open the bag, more than a dozen snow cocoon grains inside were revealed.

"This is the food that Yuan Zhenren brought us from the Divine Realm!" Dongfang Zhengzhen finished speaking, and he stopped speaking for a long time.

Li Xiangfeng, who returned to the igloo again, had questions in his mind, and then pulled Yu Yan out of the barracks and stepped into the cyan snow field.

At this time, Xue Xiang was already more than a person tall, and occasionally saw a few people in heavy cotton clothes busy in the snow, and Li Xiangfeng, who didn't know what he was doing, stepped forward to inquire.

"Big brother, what are you busy with in the cold?" The wind and frost had covered the man's entire head, and he couldn't tell his age and gender, but because of his breath, Li Xiangfeng thought it was a man, so he called him the eldest brother.

The one turned his head and saw two young men who were about 20 years old, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm not your eldest brother, I'm your uncle!"

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan felt that this sentence was wrong, but when the man wiped the frost condensed on his face and revealed a vicissitudes of life, Li Xiangfeng understood that this person meant this.

"What are you doing here, uncle?" Li Xiangfeng had to ask again.

"Hehe...."The uncle put the work in his hand, turned to look at Li Xiangfeng on the shore of the field and said: "At first glance, you are children from Bingzhou City, and you have never gone to the ground! This snow cocoon is the most dangerous in the flowering and grain stage, and those suckers rely on stealing some snow cocoon grains at this time to survive a fat year, as well as those white mice, nails, ground tigers and other scourges....alas! If they have a fat year, we will all starve to death!"

Li Xiangfeng didn't know what the "pests" that the uncle was talking about? He didn't understand how rats could be seen on the white earth, but as more and more people from all directions began to work in the fields in an endless stream, Li Xiangfeng understood that the current period was indeed important.

A cold wind blew, and Li Xiangfeng couldn't help but shiver!

You can only harvest snow cocoons once a year, and the yield is pitiful, it seems that the life of this ordinary alien is also worrying!
