Chapter 7: Farming also has to consider the problem of eating
Five days later, Yang Xi finally arranged the maze of the two places, Daoguan and Daotian.
The maze on the Taoist temple side is quite simple, and there are not many good things anyway, and Yang Xi's attention to it is naturally not as good as that of Daotian.
After all, there is not only a spirit seed that is about to be harvested in Daotian, but also a developing Zhu Guo, of course Yang Xi has to be careful, the level of the maze is two levels higher than that of Daoguan.
Everything is done, just wait for another ten days or so, and the maze will be able to play its role.
And at this time, it just so happened that the vegetable seeds and rice in the Daotian area were ripe, which meant that the spirit seed that Yang Xi had been looking forward to for a year finally had it!
"It's just a little bit ......" Yang Xi bent down and squatted in the vegetable garden, his body covered most of the rice stalks, and his face was a little dissatisfied, "Sure enough, according to the current degree of distribution of heaven and earth aura, if you want to cultivate a perfect spirit seed, you have to spend more time and energy." ”
He reached out and dragged a grain of grain from the heavy ear of rice, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and before the aura could be absorbed, it completely overflowed and disappeared.
"But it's good enough to be able to get it out so far, and I can't force it anymore...... Let's wait a few years. ”
With a light sigh, Yang Xi stood up and pressed his squatting numb legs.
In fact, the aura has only been back for a year now, and under normal circumstances, it is not enough to be able to give birth to spiritual seeds, but Yang Xi is an old ghost with experience in farming after all, and he has insisted on tinkering for so long before he successfully got Daotian out.
Walking to the edge of the vegetable garden, Yang Xi took a sickle from the board cart he brought over - this time he came here to collect vegetables, all kinds of vegetables are a bit much, and when the harvest is finished, he has to take the board truck and drag it back to the Taoist temple.
Pulling out a cabbage, Yang Xi threw it into the frame on the cart, then picked up the sickle, rolled up his sleeves, and began to cut the rice quickly.
Stubble after stubble was cut down and piled together, and it felt as energetic as a leek.
It is the fine thorns on the millet that are easy to make people's hands itch, if you are not careful, Yang Xi will also be tricked, and the batch of unpleasant tastes will not be able to wash your hands.
Therefore, Yang Xi paid attention to fast, accurate, and ruthless actions, and tried not to hurt himself and the spirit seed.
"Alas, don't mess around with me!" Yang Xi had just finished cutting the last handful of rice, and Yang Xi was still thinking about tying them all up into several bundles, so he saw that the clouded leopard who didn't know when he came over was lying on top of the cart, holding a bamboo basket with cabbage, and half of his body was stretched in.
Frightened, Yang Xi hurriedly ran over and took the big cat out of the frame, grabbing the back of the clouded leopard's neck and not daring to let go.
"I said, why are you really like a cat? When you have nothing to do, you feel that your hands are idle, and you have to pick up something? and you are eyeing the cabbage?" He put his hand under the two forelimbs of the clouded leopard, put the old man off the cart, and tapped its head and said, "I can explain to you, you can't touch the things on my cart, this can't be nibbled on you......"
Not all the vegetables in the Daotian can produce spirit seeds, like rice, that's because there are too many, Yang Xi can only collect them all and wait for them to go back and pick out the spirit seeds - what he chewed in front of him was a spirit seed on the ear of rice.
And cabbage is easy, the amount is large and there are many leaves, just pull it directly.
The clouded leopard grinned back, and he didn't know if he had listened to Yang Xi's words.
"It's really, you're ugly and don't have a good temper, you ......" Yang Xi made it angry, but he was really reluctant to fight.
"Forget it, I'll give you one, take it to the side and gnaw it, don't come over and make trouble!"
He picked a cabbage from the ground that had not succeeded in evolving and threw it to the clouded leopard, letting it play with it.
"I don't know why you like to be a vegetarian as a leopard?"
Yang Xi was talking about the clouded leopard who was making trouble, but the work in his hands did not stop at all, his wrists were turned over, his fingers were flexible, and he tied up the piles of rice in a few clicks, fixed them on the board car, and then went to check Zhu Guo's condition, and then left with confidence.
The dazzling sunlight fell through the layers of leaves, mottled and scattered, and the sound of the wheels rolling of the board car was also squeaky and squeaky, quite regular, Yang Xi also hummed a minor tune from the memory of the original body, but in this deep forest and mountains, there was a joy of harvest.
"Today is a good day...... Whatever you want can come true......"
Back inside the Taoist temple, Yang Xi took the rice off the cart, and then began to pick the spiritual seeds from it one by one.
This time the rice harvest is not much, because most of the nutrients are absorbed by the spirit seed, so some rice grains look good, in fact, they are empty, a handful of rice ears in the hand, the weight is much lighter than the previous two harvests.
And the spirit seed is not ordinary.
It is not as golden and full as ripe rice, but it is green when it is not ripe, and its shape is much longer than that of ordinary rice.
Yang Xi carefully picked and chosen, and the sun was shining a mist above his head. By the time he finally finished it, the moon had already come out, and there were only as many spirit seeds as he had picked out.
Fortunately, these can be used for next year's sowing, and the base of rice planted in Daotian is also there, so Yang Xi is not too disappointed.
"Okay, I've been busy for so long today, so I'll treat myself with a cabbage first...... Let's try to see which one is better than the effect of rice!"
Yang Xi slapped off the empty rice husks on his hands, lifted a box for vegetables and entered the kitchen.
Chopping vegetables and washing the pot, Yang Xilisuo made himself a bowl of potato and fried cabbage.
Potatoes are also a product of Daotian, but because he didn't know much about this kind of food in his previous life, and the original body didn't eat it often, so he planted a little bit and should test the water.
"It's kind of ...... It's a bit light. Yang Xi couldn't wait to take a bite and muttered to himself.
The "light" he said did not refer to the taste of the dish, but to the spiritual power content in the dish.
Too little.
The spiritual power contained in cabbage is only about half of that of spiritual rice, and potatoes are not even one-third.
It seems that this thing can only be used by ordinary people to strengthen their bodies or for little ones who have just started to cultivate, for the monks after the congenital, eating it is the same as not eating it, but the cabbage tastes good, and can be used as a spice on the dinner table.
Otherwise, you won't be able to eat rice!
It's a pity that the spiritual seeds have to be kept for farming now, and if you want to eat spiritual rice, you have to wait for another year and a half.
Chewing vegetable leaves in his mouth, Yang Xi made an evaluation of cabbage and potatoes in his heart, and scored a low score.
"Eat, eat...... I didn't expect to practice again in this life, and I wouldn't even be able to eat good rice......"
Let's not talk about cultivation first, let's take traditional medicine as an example - there is essence in the human body, and any activity can lead to the consumption of essence, and the way to obtain it is to promote replenishment through flesh and blood movement, and to make up for it by ingesting energy in food.
Ordinary people eat and drink every day, which is enough to maintain the balance of essence and qi in the body, but the life level of monks has changed, and if they eat ordinary food again, it may drag down their cultivation.
Unless you step into the realm of human immortals, you can truly live without food.
Therefore, the importance of Lingmi is self-evident to the monks.
"But speaking of which, I should be the first person in the new era to eat spiritual food and vegetables, right?"
"I don't know what's going on in the outside world...... Alas. ”
