There are not many wild crop plants, only a few dozen or so.
Song Xixi guessed that the terrain here is low-lying, and the soil is wetter than elsewhere, and may be moistened by groundwater, so these wild crops can bloom and bear fruit smoothly.
Even so, most of the seeds produced are shriveled, and the rest are not very good. I don't know if they can still take root and sprout.
The shape of this seed is also very strange. It is not as round and smooth as ordinary crops, but has edges and corners. It does not look like something that can be eaten.
Song Xixi threw away the shriveled seeds, gathered the remaining dozens of seeds in her pocket, and took them to Niuhuaer who was looking for leaf grass not far away to identify them.
Niu Hua'er examined it carefully but failed to recognize it: "I've never seen this thing before. We don't have it in my hometown."
After that, she asked Song Xixi to throw away the seeds: "It looks weird. It's not a good thing at first glance. Throw it away, dear baby."
"I'm playing with it, but I don't know how to enter it..." Song Xixi deceived him with a few words, intending to take it back and ask Zhou Taohua and Liu Cuilian.
The two of them were not from Songjia'ao, so it was not certain where they had seen such wild crops.
Seeing that the sun was getting stronger, the Song family collected some leaf grass and returned to the resting place.
Song Xixi found a bamboo tube without water, put most of the wild crop seeds in it, and took the bamboo tube to ask Zhou Taohua.
Zhou Taohua first picked up one and put it in her mouth to bite it open. When she saw the gray-white color inside, she explained to Song Xixi: "This is Jiao Ling'er. I have seen it at my grandma's house. The shell of this thing is too hard and the taste is bad."
It’s not very good either, it’s mostly used to raise chickens.”
In this day and age, this thing is a rare good thing, at least it can fill your stomach!
It turns out to be called Jiao Ling'er, which matches its appearance very well.
Song Xixi thought so, rubbed the corners and asked: "Is there any race at your grandma's house?"
Zhou Taohua said with a smile: "This thing has little potential and tastes bad. Even if I sell it, no one wants it. The whole family must be fed by the northwest wind to grow this. No serious fields will be used to grow this."
Song Xixi understood and silently said to 001: [This thing has so many shortcomings that there seems to be no need to collect it. 】
001: [Host, this wild crop is called Jialeng'er here, and it was called buckwheat in your previous life. However, buckwheat has been domesticated, and its yield and taste are far superior to Jialeng'er. ]
When Song Xixi heard this, he said suspiciously: "You asked me to collect Jialeng'er, isn't it because you want me to tame it into buckwheat?"
001 Looking around, he said: [Host, buckwheat has both edible and medical value. As the ancestor of buckwheat, the effect of Jiao Ling Er is equally great.]
Song Xixi didn't know much about buckwheat. After hearing what 001 said, she couldn't help but think more highly of Jiao Leng'er: "Keep this kind of seed first, and try to see if you can grow it if you have a chance."
After that, she suddenly thought: "Since the system can develop pet farms, it should also be able to develop planting farms, right?"
In this way, could she plant the seeds collected from outside? Maybe depending on the difference in time flow rate, she could actually tame the horns into buckwheat.
001 immediately issued an alarm sound: [Warning warning, opportunism is not advisable, please change the host's mind and complete the task in accordance with the rules and regulations of the system!]
Song Xixi: "..."
It's just a casual question. If it's not feasible, it's not feasible. There's no need to label her as opportunistic.
The task was not completed yet. Song Xixi was too lazy to argue with 001 and asked Zhou Taohua about Jiao Leng'er's habits.
Zhou Taohua was quite familiar with Jian Leng'er's habits and said one by one: "Although Jian Leng'er is useless, it is very delicate. It won't work if the weather is too hot or too cold. It won't grow in places that are prone to water accumulation.
The place cannot tolerate drought..."
In short, corn is more sophisticated than rice, wheat, and corn, and no farmer would be tempted to grow it.
Song Xixi thought: Whether it was the Jin Dynasty, the previous dynasty or before, the life of ordinary people should have been difficult.
Grandpa has said before that farmers have worked hard for a year, and if they can have a full stomach, it will be a good year for God to reward them.
If you can eat meat twice, it will be like waking up from a dream with a smile.
It can be seen that under the threat of hunger, even if most people think of domesticating wild crops, they will be difficult to take action due to practical reasons.
It’s not surprising that wild crops like Jiao Ling Er, which are of little use and are easily discarded, have been ignored by people for thousands of years.
After asking Zhou Taohua a few more questions, 001's electronic voice finally sounded: [Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the new task, 300 reward points, and 1 lucky draw opportunity. Please check the host. ]
Song Xixi talked to Niu Hua'er, found an empty room with no one around, and clicked on the information panel of [Shen Nong Training Plan]:
Name: Song Xixi
Age:7
Total points:203300
Number of draws: 1
Development progress: 1.3%
Current tasks:——
mission rewards:--
Additional rewards: two chickens, junior Dali Pills (used), husky cubs
Seeing that [Development Progress] has exceeded 1, Song Xixi is in a good mood.
She ignored 001's urging and did not use the lottery opportunity. Instead, she opened the [Pet Farm] and "took out" Erbai Wu, who was sleeping like a pig, in her arms and petted her.
Two Hundred and Five was as stupid as ever. The environment suddenly changed, and he immediately opened his eyes vigilantly.
"Ouch~" The fluffy head turned around and screamed at Song Xixi. He opened his mouth and bit her finger, growling like a threat.
"Idiot." Song Xixi did not condone it, but smashed its head with a finger, punishing it for forgetting its owner after not seeing each other for a few days.
Two hundred and five quit, and he said "ouch" at her, with an unconvinced look on his face, as if he was asking her why she bullied him.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Song Xixi's mouth, and she gently rubbed its little head: "It seems that I will have to stay with you more in the future, otherwise a stupid guy like you won't be able to remember who I am."
"Woo--" Erbaiwu looked at her sideways, showing his iconic "wisdom" look.
Song Xixi petted the dog for a while, until Erbai5 became impatient, waving its limbs and howling, then she sent it back to the [Pet Farm].
Unintentionally glancing at the next door to the fence, Song Xixi suddenly saw two white things in the grass, which were clearly two eggs!
"Laying eggs so soon?" Song Xixi was pleasantly surprised. She counted the time in her mind and realized that more than a hundred days had passed in the [Pet Farm].
Both chickens are being fed scientifically in the [Pet Farm]. It is normal for the hens to be able to lay eggs in such a short period of time.
At this time, the hen ran from a distance and squatted down in the grass. In the blink of an eye, another white egg appeared!
Song Xixi murmured: "The 99 points are really well spent!"
