Chapter 20
Let’s be a lazy person
When it comes to where to dig a trap? Of course you have to kill three birds with one stone, you can't dig blindly.
Fang Shu's trap is different. It's not a trap but a deep trench.
It is mid-spring and there is still some time before spring plowing, but farmers are already busy making preparations for spring plowing.
Fang Shu prepared to dig traps around the valley.
Don't think of fences as too complicated or strong, but you can't let wild beasts ruin her farmland either.
At present, it seems that setting up traps kills two birds with one stone. First, it blocks the footsteps of small animals, and second, it also facilitates drainage. If you catch prey, it will be an unexpected surprise.
It is fenced in, and the outer running circle is 2,000 meters long. The project is huge. The valley is the size of a standard playground.
Just dig, dig small traps first, gradually increase the traps, and finally dig through them.
It's so easy to think about but so painful to do. Oh, it's so tiring. Just treat it as exercise and practice your arm strength.
Fang Shu nodded and said goodbye before wandering off to find Li Cheng. Li Cheng hadn't come back from hunting yet. Fang Shu borrowed a backpack from the Li family and went up the mountain on her own, going to the area where Li Cheng often went.
Zhongnan Mountain is so famous!
To the south of Chang'an City, there is the towering Qinling Mountains. This section of the Qinling Mountains in Xi'an is usually called the Zhongnan Mountains.
Both of them knew it well and the matter was no longer discussed.
After entering the mountain, we started picking, mostly wild vegetables, followed by herbs. It was not until daylight was getting late that we met Li Cheng who was carrying the prey. Then we went home together.
We had dinner at Li Cheng's house in the evening, and we exchanged words with Li Xin. The main thing was communication. Li Cheng's tough guy Fang Shu still thanked her but was not sensitive.
Nowadays, the main crops grown are barley and wheat, and there is also a small amount of rice in areas near water. Lixiang Village is not near water, and only barley and wheat are grown.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain." It also comes from this place.
This year went by from spring to autumn, including clearing land, planting, collecting herbs, studying in a private school during the off-farm period, teaching villagers how to prepare medicinal materials, brewing powder, and breeding, etc., and the list went by in a flash.
"Sweet potato is also called sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, red yam, potato, etc. Are there any here?"
There are many varieties of wheat, including barley, wheat, Yangmai, Durian wheat, Yuanmai, Juemai, etc.
He gave money to the eldest lady and gave her all the necessary arrangements for entertaining guests.
Fang Shu washed one, peeled it and ate it raw. Then she broke off a piece and gave it to the chief to taste.
When we arrived at Lixiang Village, we first went to see the second cave. The house had been built, leaving only a gap in the beams, and the floor had been laid in the house.
I eat a lot of meat these days, and the meat I can't eat is dried. This is the only gratifying thing. The traps are not set in vain, and the traps are not dug in vain. They are all harvested.
There have been many hermits here, such as Jiang Ziya, the founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Liang, the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty", Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism, etc.
On this day, Fang Shu decided to take a day off and not make tops today. She put some small sweet potatoes in her backpack and went to the second cave - Li Xiangcun to have a look.
After Fang Shu completed the construction of the second cave, he often came to live there. It was named Anju, which means my hometown.
!!!
"What the hell is this?"
I have been living in a cave. There is a small wasteland in the mountain with many transplanted herbs.
When you get tired of it, change your job type. There is a lot of land reclamation work. Cutting grass, pulling up shrubs, digging grass roots, picking up stones, digging deep into the soil, breaking up soil clods, and smoothing it.
He also asked the eldest lady to buy cloth and cotton to make bed tents, quilts, sofas, cushions and pillows.
Length:
The inner edge of the trap was lined with stones and sharpened wooden sticks were inserted into the trap.
"This thing can drive several industries. Come on, give me the basket. I want to discuss it with your grandfather Li and the clan elders."
Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, is the birthplace of "Shoubinan Mountain", "Zhongnan Shortcut" and other allusions. It is also known as "the most blessed place in the world".
After arriving at Li's house, after sorting out the wild vegetables, he asked Li Cheng to come over to identify the herbs, and taught Aunt Li how to dry them and prepare them. He promised that if he accumulated more, he could sell them to Jishitang for money. Aunt Li was grateful, and Li Cheng laughed.
What a fool.
The village chief talked the clan elders through and agreed to plant sweet potatoes and herbs. Fang Shu thought to herself, would it be foolish not to continue such good things?
The next day, Fang Shu held a banquet at her new home and laid beams for the new house. After digging the first shovel of soil to build the house, she then covered the new house with grass, mud and tiles. In short, it was a set of procedures that made her confused.
, but my heart felt tight with joy.
Most of the hermits in ancient times were political hermits. They were unwilling to talk to the world and had no choice but to flee. Some of them were disillusioned with the world and were indifferent to fame and fortune, or they just wanted to enjoy themselves and make their own choices.
Li Xiangcun was included in Fang Shu's community of interests, so of course it had to be related to her interests.
"This product has high yield and is suitable for planting in sandy land, wasteland, and mountainous land. It can be used as life-saving food especially in disaster years.
Uncle, I am not short of money, and I want to make everyone rich. Do you think it is possible?"
After working for more than ten days at a stretch, the wasteland turned into fertile farmland. There were traps all around, waiting for them to finally be opened.
If there are branches this spring, I will bring them. If my uncle is willing, he can also arrange to plant them. I will also teach the villagers how to prepare them and sell them to medicine shops.
The head of the village took the initiative to mention Fang Shu's Koufentian and Yongye fields, both of which were in the hands of the Fang tribe in the ninth village, and asked if they needed it. Fang Shu thought about it and said, forget it, just give it to the tribesmen.
When I listened to Mr. Li from the private school talk about geography, I finally realized that this mountain is not simple. It is the famous Zhongnan Mountain in the middle of the Qinling Mountains.
Wheat can be divided into winter wheat and spring wheat according to the sowing season. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, winter wheat was also called Su wheat and spring wheat was called Xuan wheat.
Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, so Fang Shu removed the traps around Qinyuan in the next few days. This side of the valley is enough.
Cut the buds and stems for planting. After the seedlings emerge and branch, you can cut the tips on rainy days or water them. It is very easy to survive. The yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms.
In the eyes of emperors, nobles, eminent monks and Taoists, Zhongnan Mountain is a good place to seek immortality and cultivate one's moral character.
When I met the village chief, he felt a little helpless towards the nephew who had given up. If a lot of money hadn't been invested in Li Xiangcun, he had reason to think that Fang Shu had run away.
"never seen it."
What makes vermicelli vermicelli is the starch in the sweet potato, and the remaining residue can be used to raise livestock and poultry. It can also be sold to restaurants after being slaughtered.
There is a layer of oilcloth on the floor, and carpenters are making and installing furniture. The wooden sofa in the living room is also being made.
Fang Shu took out a small sweet potato and showed it to the chief:
"Uncle, can this kind of thing be grown here?"
It can be steamed, grilled, cooked into porridge, and made into cakes. It can also be sold as vermicelli. What does your uncle think of this?
If Li Xiang Village opens up wasteland to grow this plant, I will teach the villagers how to make vermicelli and sell it to restaurants.
Zhongnan Mountain is also a retreat place for scholar-bureaucrats and intellectuals who advance and retreat from the government and the public. "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."
But in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, it is both an object of worship and a friendly friend, because Zhongnan Mountain provides them with resources for life.
Fang Shu thought to herself, how lucky I am to be among the celebrities and live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, hehe.
