Shennong Sequence

Chapter 31: The ceremony begins, land reclamation

"The materials for refining Daotong Dan include things flying in the sky, running on the ground, plants, animals, and various metal minerals. They can all be gathered together for refining. It's also mysterious!"

Zhao Yun studied it for a while and felt it was a pity.

In his previous life, he guarded the ancestral temple, but did not read the Taoist scriptures carefully. As a result, he now does not even know the art of medicine, nor does he understand the mystery of the elixir formula.

"Alas, one only regrets not having read enough books when one needs them!"

Wow!

Zhao Yun turned the book to the next page, which was a detailed introduction to the chapter on reclaiming land.

Take a general glance.

Zhao Yun also had an idea of ​​the specific number of one acre of land:
One acre of land is approximately 666.67 square meters.

If it is a rectangle, it is 33.33 meters long and 20 meters wide; or it is 66.67 meters long and 10 meters wide, and so on.

If it is a square land, the side length should be about 25.82 meters.

"Since it's a ceremony, we'd rather have more than less, so when we cultivate the fields tomorrow, we need to use a little more to prevent any unexpected situations."

Zhao Yun flipped the pages forward again until he had read the entire thin book.

After watching the whole thing, I have a clear understanding of the ceremony.

I no longer feel as confused and helpless about the path of cultivation as I did this afternoon.

Snapped!
Zhao Yun closed the book, blew out the flickering candle beside him, turned over and got into bed, began to sleep to replenish his energy and prepare for tomorrow's work of reclaiming the fields.

……

The morning light is breaking.

Zhao Yun suddenly stood up, put on his clothes, walked out of the house and looked up at the angel. He found that the sky in the east had begun to separate dusk and dawn.

The sound of firewood exploding came from the corridor.

When Zhao Yun walked along the corridor to the warehouse, he found that Butcher Liu was already boiling the pot and cooking for the horses.

"Brother Liu, when did you get up? You didn't even call me."

"I just woke up not long ago."

Butcher Liu responded and stopped talking. He just sat in the stove with his head down and continued to add firewood to the fire.

Zhao Yun still felt that Butcher Liu was a little upset because Old Man Sun did not accept him as his apprentice.

However, the process of comprehending the true meaning of the 'Seal of Psychic Communication' technique was fast or slow, and he had no control over it.

As for helping Butcher Liu to understand some of his experiences in understanding the seal of spiritual communication...

The key point is that Butcher Liu didn’t even ask!

Zhao Yun then showed his friendly attitude and chatted with Liu the Butcher for a few words.

But Butcher Liu seemed to have made up his mind to be sulking with him.

So during the whole process of cooking for the horse, the atmosphere between the two was a little dull.

"Forget it. I tried to be nice to you, but you ignored me..."

Next, while feeding the Zhuifeng horse, eating breakfast in the kitchen, and shoveling horse manure for the Zhuifeng horse, Zhao Yun did not speak any unnecessary words to Liu the Butcher.

He can't just put his face in front of someone who gives him a cold shoulder and just look for trouble, right?
By the time the horse manure is sold, the morning's work is almost done.

After taking a bath, Zhao Yun did not go back to the front yard directly. Instead, he went from the back door of the stable and came to the back door of the guard post. He showed the stable token and then went out.

Looking around, although most of the land behind the guard post is wasteland, there are also many areas that are fenced off and neatly planted with various vegetables, or other special things that are different from ordinary grains.

Zhao Yun was still on the three fields and saw a scarecrow walking around, constantly driving away various birds or pests.

He walked and stopped, roughly measuring the distance between the small pieces of land left in the middle of the enclosed areas. After searching for a while, Zhao Yun finally found an empty space of about one mu and three fen.

"Although there are a lot of weeds and some saplings, there are no big rocks in this land after all, so it's a pretty good place."

After Zhao Yun selected the place, he found some stones and placed them around, and also inserted some wooden sticks to indicate that the place was occupied.

"It's still more than half an hour before noon when we need to prepare meals for the horses."

"Take advantage of every opportunity, roll up your sleeves, and start cultivating the land!"

Zhao Yun squinted his eyes at the big sun in the east and roughly calculated the time in his mind.

He went through the back door of the guardhouse, and under the protection of the two soldiers, he showed the token from the stable and returned through the back door of stable No. 14.

After searching in the warehouse, I finally found a hoe and a sickle.

The first step in land reclamation is, of course, to weed, clear away rocks, and remove saplings and the like.

Of course, this step can actually be done directly together with turning the soil.

After turning the soil, leveling the land, and spreading fertilizer to improve the soil's nutritional structure, you can basically start farming.

During the whole process, the external fertilizer needed was supplemented by the horse manure that Old Man Sun had reserved a few days ago, so Zhao Yun did not have to worry too much.

Now he just needs to concentrate on reclaiming the land.

hey!

Zhao Yun used a sickle to cut some weeds first.

In an instant, the lush green grass and trees fell to the ground, and large swarms of insects began to run for their lives from the grass.

Spiders, ants, grasshoppers, crickets, snails, and all kinds of creatures that cannot be named, jumped, crawled, or flew, fleeing for their lives.

Wait until a piece of land is cut out.

Zhao Yun then began to turn the ground with a hoe.

There are also many creatures living under the ground, the most common of which are ants and earthworms.

In addition, when Zhao Yun was at home, he worked in the fields all day long.

His body was also strengthened through the skill upgrade of "archery".

Therefore, the simple task of hoeing the fields was not too tiring for him.

However, opening up new land is, after all, a very laborious task.

Not long after working, Zhao Yun felt hungry. When he looked up at the sky again, he saw that the sun had moved a distance away.

"It's time to call it a day and go back to cook for the horses."

Zhao Yun looked up at the land reclamation process which had just made some progress.

I just feel:
There is still a long way to go!

He picked up the hoe and sickle, knocked his muddy shoes, and walked into the guardhouse.

By noon, when the horses had licked their feed and been fed, Zhao Yun felt his legs were weak from hunger.

He looked back at Butcher Liu. The two of them didn't say anything, but walked together to the kitchen to get their food.

In addition, while walking on the way to the kitchen, the rumors about Zhao Yun selling ditch that came out from somewhere yesterday were still being spread by some soldiers.

There are even some people who, somehow, can recognize him directly despite his low-key appearance!

This is amazing!

Therefore,
Zhao Yun was pointed at and talked about all the way to the kitchen!
Chapter 12 o'clock, go to bed early, baby
