Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In Dehua City, in the mansion of the city lord, Baron Zhiyuan sat on the edge of a spiritual field, his expression was depressed, and he had long lost his calmness.

The spiritual field in front of him is now bare.

This spiritual field is the foundation that their family can pass down for thousands of years.

Now after a plague of locusts, all kinds of spiritual things in the spiritual field have been destroyed, including a few spiritual medicines that his grandfathers began to cultivate.

At that time, the locusts attacked, and the Jijijian clansmen could only urgently dig a dozen or so plants, and the remaining spiritual plants were eaten up in just a moment.

Even if he re-cultivates the elixir, at least in the past ten years, there is no output.

And since the drought, the earth veins have been affected, causing the spiritual energy of all the spiritual veins to decline, the spiritual spring to shrink, and the area of ​​the spiritual field can only be reduced accordingly.

In addition, the dozen or so elixir plants that were urgently excavated at that time, I don't know if they can be replanted and survived.

Lingzhi is very delicate, and the mortality rate of transplanting is very high, otherwise they can dig out and hide the spiritual plant early.

The only thing that can make Baron Zhiyuan feel relieved is that it is not only his family who suffered this disaster. As far as he knows, the surrounding counties have all suffered from locust plagues, and no one should think about it better.

Happiness can only be enjoyed alone, but pain can be shared. If you are unlucky by yourself, and you are unlucky with everyone, the degree of pain is completely different.

"Ugh!"

Baron Zhiyuan sighed heavily beside the Lingtian. It seems that he can only scavenge more from the land in the next few years, otherwise how can his Guliang family survive.

In the small courtyard on the top of Qifeng Mountain, when Zhang He was cleaning up the corpses of the locusts in the middle stage of foundation building, he found a demon pill in his belly.

This demon pill is the size of a finger, and it exudes a wave of demonic power.

Monster beasts also need to absorb spiritual energy when they practice, but humans refine spiritual energy into mana, while monsters refine it into magic power.

Both of them originate from aura, a source of power, but they are slightly different.

For human monks, demon pills can be used not only for alchemy, but also for refining tools, or in some formations, to provide energy.

When Zhang He was holding the demon pill to check, the big yellow dog had already washed his own blood.

"come in!"

Seeing Zhang Hechong beckoning himself, the big yellow dog sneaked in.

Zhang He used his divine sense to check it out. This guy may have eaten a demon pill by mistake. He was blessed with a big life, and he didn't explode to death. Now it's a demon beast.

The demon pill that was swallowed should not have been fully refined, and now it only has the strength in the initial stage of Qi training.

Since this dog has mutated into a monster, it can't be treated as an ordinary dog. This is his own territory, and an uncontrolled monster will definitely not be allowed to exist.

Immediately, the big yellow dog performed a master recognition ceremony. As long as the other party did not resist, the ceremony could be successfully completed.

The big yellow dog was not wary of human beings, and the ceremony of recognizing the master was successfully completed.

If he can't recognize the master, Zhang He may have to consider whether it is time to eat dog meat.

After recognizing the master, Zhang He threw a fried locust to Rhubarb as a reward for him.

Zhang He put away the demon pill, and cut off the two hind legs of the big locust and put them away separately. Next time he went back to the city, he wanted to see if he could refine it into a magic weapon.

In addition to this big locust, there are dozens of corpses of locusts during the Qi training period in the hospital, all of which were collected by him and will be dealt with slowly in the future.

Now that the locusts are crossing the border, and no leaves are left, he still has a lot of things to deal with.

"Master, all the locust corpses on the ground have been collected, and the total amount is about 100,000 catties."

Zhang He also did not expect that he threw a stink bomb and could kill more than 100,000 catties of locusts.

"Okay, dry and save these locusts, and since all the sweet potato seedlings have been eaten, from tomorrow, all the sweet potatoes in the field will be dug up.

Taking advantage of the good sun now, shred all the sweet potatoes and dry them. "

If it grows normally, the sweet potatoes should be dug in another month. If they are dug out in advance, the yield will be less, but not too much.

Under the double devastation of this drought and the locust plague, food will be extraordinarily precious for at least the next year.

So this year's sweet potato doesn't plan to make any more wine. Anyway, the wine brewed in the past few years has not been sold out, and it is enough for him to sell.

Shredded sweet potatoes are the easiest way to store them. You can use them to grind them when you need to eat them, or you can cook them directly.

After Zhang He made arrangements at Qifeng Mountain, he left Qifeng Mountain on horseback.

The big yellow dog was arranged by him to stay at Qifeng Mountain, and in the future he will be the guardian dog on Qifeng Mountain.

Heishui Town is now full of people. Tenants from all over the world have caught locusts and exchanged money or food in Heishui Town.

Heishui Town, because of its ability to resist drought before, can still harvest a little grain at that time, but at most one-third of the harvest can be harvested.

Some of the remaining crops in the other villages were eaten by locusts, and almost no crops were harvested this year.

Now catching locusts has almost become their only source of life.

The tenant farmers were afraid that it would be too late and the Zhang family would not buy any more. They roasted the captured locusts overnight and sent them over early in the morning.

Both Wei Peng and Wen Sheng have returned to Heishui Town, and are now leading a group of people in charge of purchasing locusts.

"Master, we have already acquired more than 500,000 catties, do we still want to continue?"

Seeing Zhang He appear, Wei Peng and Wen Sheng hurried over to ask.

The tenants sent too many locusts. This kind of locusts has a peculiar smell. A few chickens and ducks died after eating the locusts two days ago. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

They are afraid that they will get too much, and they will lose money if they keep it in their hands and can't eat it.

"It's alright, continue to acquire, take as much as you have."

Zhang He waved his hand and promised confidently.

In fact, locusts seem to be many, but they fly away after eating in one place. Compared with the grain production in the field, the ones that are really caught are much smaller.

Therefore, even if the surrounding villages and towns are included, there will not be too many locusts.

Zhangjiazhuang always has several million catties of grain in storage, which can still be supported by some locusts.

Moreover, he has already thought about the multiple uses of locusts, a high-protein food.

First of all, it can be added to the feed to feed some grass-eating livestock, such as cattle and sheep, to supplement some protein, and the growth rate can be greatly accelerated.

However, it is more likely to be eaten by people. In this world where bark and grass roots can sum up delicious recipes, it is not luxurious enough to use high-protein food as feed.

The reason why the tenants exchanged them is that the locusts have a special smell and some are poisonous, so the tenants will not deal with them.

On the other hand, it is a matter of concept. The tenant farmers generally feel that locusts are not as good as food.

Zhang He went back to Zhangjiazhuang after processing some documents at the town hall.

I haven't seen him for a while, Gun Gun has grown to be about the same height as Zhang Yuan, this person and a bear are playing quite harmoniously.

After playing with Zhang Yuan for a day, Zhang He took the fat tiger out of Heishui Town and went to Zhaoling County.
