Chapter 172: The Bloom of the Cross Flower
Beidou fingers.
Frost falls, among the twenty-four solar terms, the eighteenth.
Since then, the temperature of day and night is no longer close, but the autumn dryness that should have been there has not appeared.
Because the Roaring Heaven is here.
It was supposed to be planted after the first autumn harvest, and the south had two crops a year, and in the era of slash-and-burn farming, it was actually fast for the consumption of soil resources, but in the same way, if the land was barren for a period of time and not planted, then the recovery would be faster.
Wildlife dung quickly melts into the soil on developed land, and without suffocating vegetation, the miasma dissipates and becomes easier to survive in.
This year's late rice, in fact, is a little later, so there is no need to plant it.
But no one knows how long the Roaring Clan will be entrenched here.
The mighty wind tore apart the land in the mountains, and the water of the river began to rise, which made the great witch of Xunshan a little worried.
The great witch of the Xunshan clan looked at the rolling river, and when he came here, Danzhu's broken boat had long been towed away and put in the unbuilt Jindu.
The earth and stone were packed into animal skin bags, and the wooden cart had already been withdrawn, Xun Mountain was still relatively far away from Tianbi Mountain, but the power of the Roaring Heaven Clan still affected here.
The entire southern wilderness, with three mountains and four fields and the south hills, is the closest to the wind and power of the roaring heavens.
In the Xunshan area, although the storm was not so violent, in the same way, a huge cyclone swept over, and what fell and moved sideways was a large area of cumulonimbus clouds.
The autumn rains fall, and the weather gets colder.
But the climate in the south is only until the end of autumn, and the temperature will not drop much in winter.
This is not the same as in the north, so the northerners often misunderstand the southerners.
In Nanqiu, the houses are reinforced, the granary is fixed, and the concubine has asked people to dig out some shallow cellars, because of lack of time and can not dig too deep, when the wind comes, at least the tribe's rations for several months must be loaded into it, otherwise, if the granary really did not resist and flew into the sky, then everyone will be hungry again.
Prevention is better than prevention, eggs don't always go in the same basket.
"In front of this real roaring heavenly clan, we seem so small, the ancient wind god, the wind uncle who was dealt with during the Yellow Emperor period, does it have such a great mana?"
Yu Zai asked, everyone hid in a large stone house, at this time, the wooden house could not give everyone a sense of security.
The old patriarch couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The wind in the Central Plains is not as strong as in the south, and it is well deserved to be called the Roaring Heavenly Clan! As a result, in the end, we still have to run to the stone house, to the cave, and return to the era of the Suiren Clan.....
She threw a weed into the fire pit with faint flames.
"The hurricane has passed, and the grass is the only one left. This is the majesty of the heavens, even the gods have to retreat, let alone us, and we can rely on the mountains and rivers to protect ourselves, what's wrong with that?"
Yu Yu asked, "Wu, you can know when the Roaring Heaven Clan will come, so when will it leave?"
Yu Zai said: "When he finishes losing his temper, he will leave, about ten years." ”
Generally speaking, typhoons from near the East China Sea last for more than five days, and most can last up to half a month, but if they come from the South China Sea, the duration is much shorter.
But Yu Zai can't be sure of everything, because this is the mountains and seas, and the four directions of heaven and earth here, can it really be judged by the geography of the earth?
Maybe beyond the East China Sea, there is a wider and infinite place, or maybe there is a continent and seamounts?
Perhaps outside the South China Sea, there will be no Philippine Islands.
It's all something that can't be said for sure.
However, one thing is certain, that is, after the Roaring Heaven clan continues to invade the interior, it will be blocked by the mountains and mountains, and the wind will definitely become smaller and gradually disappear, which is a universal truth.
As long as this thing exists, then it must have a "law" that can be discovered.
"After these ten days, look at the climate, if it is good, the late rice still has to be planted, and the fields have been taken care of, so it is a pity not to plant. Take a step back, don't plant rice, you can also plant some brassica, mushrooms, and essences, especially essences, this thing can basically be planted in three seasons, and it grows fast, just for most of the year, we have harvested three batches...."
Yu Zai thought of this, and at the same time told Yu Yu and them to go out and take a look when they were okay to see if they could find rape flowers.
Small greens and rape flowers, both belong to the "cruciferous brassica genus", what cabbage, rape flowers, cabbage, small greens, and European rape... Oh, in the end, this guy is playing around for the time being.
Therefore, since Jinghua has a kind of small greens, Yu Zai thinks that he can search and search here, and maybe he can find rape flowers, oil cabbage or something.
The oil cabbage in the north, in ancient times, was called "Songcai". And the Chinese cabbage in the north is planted more near Shaanxi, but I don't know that it is wool, and the Qi State likes to do this during the Warring States Period..... And compared to the south, too.... Gain a little weight.
The ruins of the original village of Banpo in Xi'an in the Neolithic period have found well-established cabbage seeds.
Moreover, there is a saying that the cabbage in the south was introduced from the north... So Yu Zai thinks, in fact, it may not be possible to find native varieties, of course, if there are similar ones, you can also do it.... Anyway, what to eat is not to eat.... Relatives and uncles are all the same.
There is another thing, that is, kohlrabi, also known as flat radish, that is, turnip, this thing was actually planted on a large scale in the Zhou Dynasty, and China also had a local hukou, but at that time it was called "Leaf", also known as "Cranberry", and its status was not low, after all, it was on the "Book of Songs".
In the era of mountains and seas, although there were many kinds of domesticated grains, for the sake of everyone's stomach, as well as to improve the quality of life of the entire southern provinces, of course, it was also to prevent any waterlogging and drought, food was a must.
The more crops this crop is, naturally, the better.
Only when the level of agriculture is improved, can we engage in handicrafts and textiles, and maybe one day, the grain in the south, because it is full and sweet, may be sold very expensive in the north!
"The five grains nourish people, and the cruciferous family covers almost many primitive vegetable species, even radishes are ..... of this family."
Man is the life of the cruciferous family!
About the radish, the Zhou Dynasty called "Laihua", that is, the green and white radish, this kind of radish is the descendant of the wild radish, in the ancient times of the wild radish, because a bite can come out of the water, juicy and many tribes of people dig back to plant, after more than ten generations of cultivation, gradually become more than the original "tall" up.
The vegetable search plan is the first step after the departure of the Roar Tianshi, of course, there is late rice planting at the same time, and the advantage of the south is the climate, in this era, the weather is still relatively warm, and there is definitely no snow to see.

Two days later, Xunshan was on the edge of the river, and the construction of Jindu was stopped.
