Zhuo County is dry, but there is no shortage of water system, several Bohai Sea tributaries pass through this place, and there is even a coastline in Zhuo County.

Passing through a naturally growing willow forest, a river with duckweed growing on the bank appeared in front of Liu Cang's eyes.

The river is wide, the water is turbid, and in an area with many rocks upstream, you can faintly see a few women carrying water with them.

Looking down at the water surface, it seems that the waterline is a little lower, which makes Liu Cang frown slightly, the waterline is too fast, I am afraid that there are villages digging ditches to release water upstream.

Nowadays, there are usually some villages around the river to cultivate the land, and under normal circumstances, everyone carries water to water the land, although it is tiring, but it will not have any adverse effect on the people on the river line.

Regardless of whether the diversion canal will cause hidden dangers of flooding in the future due to poor construction, if everyone tries to save the effort of carrying water, the predictable water and soil conditions will be full of variables.

Therefore, the handicrafts of the Han Dynasty were prosperous, and there was still Mohist institutional knowledge among the people, but those ditches and waterwheels were not intended to be built.

But now the situation here in Liu Cang is that the county officials have uploaded a general order, saying that there may be a drought this year, and this folk village is rushing to get water to irrigate the land, for fear that the drought will suddenly come and delay the cultivation and water storage.

In previous years, it was not without such general orders for disaster prevention, but at that time, the county magistrates would send people to dispatch, and the wealthy families in the countryside would also contribute to avoid chaos.

But I don't know when it began, everyone seems to have a life-threatening job that needs to be busy overnight, and the arrangements for the people are often only done to communicate and deal with things.

There was a woman's laughter in his ears, and when he looked up, there seemed to be someone pointing at him in the distance, and the laughter was cheerful and spicy, which also made Liu Cang's brows furrow deeper.

Shaking his head heavily, Liu Cang seemed to want to shake off the thoughts in his head, some things were useless for him to think about, and he was not qualified to interject at all.

"貅~!" With his fingers to his mouth, Liu Cang let out a loud whistle.

"Yo~Yo~Yo~Yo~~Yo~!" saw Liu Cang pulling his throat and letting out a strange scream at the figure of the woman in the distance.

When he screamed, Liu Cang also took off his clothes, moved his shoulders, and a fierce man jumped into the water, and the laughter and scolding of women in the distance also came.

In the early morning, the atmosphere along the river seems to be a little more lively.

Aside from the fodder, pigs are not easy to feed. In contrast, preparing food for pigs is even more troublesome than preparing for cows.

Cows, you pick up a piece of weeds, don't care about raw and coarse tenderness, cut it home, and throw it to them is a nonsense sea chew.

Dolphins are tender and not old, sweet and bitter, green and dry, clean and dirty, as long as you don't make them hungry, picky, and difficult to serve.

However, they eat meat and are interested in things that smell strong, and if you starve them a few times and let them taste something unclean, they will not be so particular about it. But at that time, it will also become a pig.

Patches of aquatic weeds float along the river, and these fast-growing aquatic plants have thick canes and are a good pig food.

Earlier, there were a lot of water celery here, but I don't know who picked it in the past two days, and now there are only some buds left.

Liu Cang came out to hunt pigweed, and the aquatic weeds and duckweed here were his main targets, but that was the last job, and he had other things to do now.

Liu Cang, who got into the river, sank to the bottom of the water in one breath, and there was a wide bamboo basket at the bottom of the water covered with mud and sand.

The bamboo basket is long and numerous, and it is difficult to fix it on the bank of the river, so it can only be sunk to the bottom of the water.

There are many finger-length small fish in the bamboo basket, and it is difficult to see fish larger than a palm, but the river section is close to the two villages, and the big fish that can be eaten have long been touched by children when they are playing.

Dragged the bamboo basket hard, what is surprising is that Liu Cang's breath was held for nearly ten minutes, although he was in the north, but I have to say that Liu Cang's water was unexpectedly powerful.

Of course, this kind of power is not because he was born with good water, but because he stewed a lot of turtles that were regarded as longevity spiritual things...

Well, that's right, if Liu Cang has raised the most animals so far, it is not pigs or chickens, but turtles.

Liu Cang's family originally had cultivated land, but now that cultivated land has long been replaced by him with a mud pond at the edge of the village, and in that mud pond, he threw a lot of turtles into it.

People always have some dreams, such as longevity.

Well, at first, Liu Cang's competition with the turtle was really his own whimsy, his own goldfinger life style was too heavy, and he didn't have any illusions about how to live.

Flesh and blood food can increase people's physique, even including vegetables and fruits, but there is a question of how much faster or slower.

Not to mention that meat is the most efficient, Liu Cang also found that different meat foods still have a certain tendency to gain physical fitness.

For example, pork and chicken are flat, and when they grow physically, their endurance increases most significantly after exercise.

In the same way of exercising, wild boar and wolf meat obviously have a gain in explosiveness that pork does not have.

After confirming that snake meat and eel have significantly improved the tenacity of joints, muscles and bones, Liu Cang whimsically began to collect turtles when he wore open crotch pants.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, Liu Cang recognized himself as funny.

The domestication of turtles is not difficult, just dig a pit in your house, lay some rocks, and throw them in. They can't run anyway.

As he grew older, almost all of the turtles that Liu Cang caught in nature were of first-class quality, and he ate a lot, but the effect of farts was not there.

And the turtles have been maturing for too long, and Liu Cang has been raising those turtles at home for nearly ten years.

From time to time, I will pick up a few by the pond between the rivers, and I don't have to wait to raise them, stinky fish and rotten shrimp, sandworms and grasshoppers they all eat, and occasionally change the water.

Seeing that Liu Cang had already regarded those turtles as ornamental animals, he finally harvested the spiritual essence in the earliest batch of turtles.

The spirit essence on the turtle's body can naturally only be used on the turtle's body, and there is no accident, Liu Cang picked four or five big fat turtles and smashed them directly to the second level.

And then?

Eat and try, if it doesn't work, you must dispose of it all, blame mosquitoes, it's useless, who wastes energy on them?

In line with the attitude of laughing at his second middle school, Liu Cang chopped a turtle and prepared to stew soup in the pot, and the result...

Turtle meat: the quality is secondary, which slightly increases the cell activity of the eater, slightly improves the metabolic function of the eater, and enhances the exhalation ability of the eater to a certain extent.

Originally, the walking 'stones' that attracted mosquitoes in the courtyard became Liu Cang's treasures, and he even directly discussed with the villagers and exchanged his own cultivated land for the mud pond used to grow lotus vegetables in the village.

And the villagers only thought that he had no intention of cultivating and intended to pick lotus, and they were not at all interested in the turtles he threw into the pond.

It wasn't until he saw that he struggled to salvage small fish loaches and feed turtles from time to time that he was surprised that Liu Cang didn't know what to do with it, and actually raised these turtles that were not suitable for eating.
