Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Greetings, Young Master Bai," Liu Wusan said hastily, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Stop with all this nonsense, hurry up and finish this so you can go home and sleep!" Bai Li waved his hand dismissively and handed the red mushroom to Liu Wusan.

Bai Li said, "Let's try and see if we can plant it!"

Liu Wusan took the red mushroom and tried to plant it, but naturally failed. He looked at Bai Li in a panic.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Li suggested, "Try blocking out the moonlight and see if that works."

"Young Master Bai, it's done!" Liu Wusan replied happily.

Indeed, we still have to consider the actual situation. It seems that the red mushrooms can be planted by farmers at night, and there is no need to deliberately create a completely dark environment.

Bai Li nodded in satisfaction, stood beside the mushrooms, and gestured to Liu Wusan to use bone powder to ripen the red mushrooms.

Because this time, the red mushrooms were planted on flat ground, the bottom was not completely sealed by the cap.

Next, Bai Li gave Liu Wu a wooden axe, but it turned out to be unusable.

However, when Liu Wusan used the wooden shovel, he successfully knocked down a small red mushroom, which still consumed stamina.

"If you're empty-handed, you can dig out irregularly shaped mushroom caps, which is something anyone can do. But if farmers use a shovel, they can get small red mushrooms and then plant them," Bai Li muttered to herself.

The physical exertion is slightly higher than that of wheat cultivation, since bone meal is used many times to accelerate ripening.

That's acceptable.

Next, Bai Li had Liu Wusan remove all the giant mushrooms that couldn't be used as mushroom houses, and planted the red mushrooms that Bai Li had already dug in the pits.

After all, mushrooms can't be planted haphazardly; they need to be planned in advance to avoid the mushroom town looking messy and unsightly later on.

Just as Liu Wusan was about to plant the fourth mushroom house, Bai Li quickly stopped him.

Judging from Liu Wusan's expression, Bai Li could tell that he was just putting on a brave face. If he were to continue to force the ripening process, he might just collapse on the floor in the next second.

"That's all for today. You can go back now, but there's one more thing I need you to do," Bai Li pointed to the mushroom cap that had been peeled off, "Take some of these back with you, cook them thoroughly, and cook them for a long time. Also, have your family keep watch over them for the next two days, and if anything seems amiss, come find me immediately, understand?"

"Yes! I understand." Liu Wusan replied wearily, then picked up a few mushroom caps from the ground and took them back.

Having Liu Wusan test the mushroom for poison was a last resort, since no one could say for sure whether the mushroom was poisonous in reality. We needed to figure it out before promoting it as food.

If everything is fine after two days of buffer time, you can rest assured for now, but you can't rule out the possibility of chronic diseases.

This is also why the village needs a doctor, to prevent such things from happening. After all, you need to know if you have a disease in order to get treatment.

The doctor only needs to be able to diagnose the illness; it doesn't matter if he can't cure it, since there's no illness that a bucket of milk can't solve.

However, milk can only counteract both positive and negative effects.

When Bai Li rescued Liu Erniang before, she discovered that there seemed to be a persistent negative effect, such as weakness caused by hunger, which milk could only temporarily alleviate.

Therefore, subsequent care and treatment also need to be planned by a doctor.

"What a pity. I should have kept that constable who got sent flying by Tieshan earlier."

Bai Li slowly walked back to his little house, muttering to himself. He happened to look up and saw the dazzling starry sky.

In the quiet night, countless stars dot the boundless darkness, some bright and some faint, each twinkling with its own light, scattered across the night sky.

Listening to the birdsong and cicada chirps of the night, accompanied by the sound of the wind, Bai Li was captivated by the beauty of the starry sky, and her soul found peace and tranquility.

This starry sky is so beautiful. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go to space and see it for myself.

"I don't know if a backpack full of blocks will be enough to build our way out, but breathing seems to be a problem too."

Suddenly, Bai Li had a flash of inspiration and realized something.

This is reality; even the covering of mushrooms can be replaced by shadows without the need for blocks.

I don't need oxygen, I just need to breathe, so wouldn't it be fine if I just put on a transparent cover like SpongeBob SquarePants?

Bai Li rushed back to his house, where there was a small, empty fishpond. He walked to the pond and took out the water bottle he had caught earlier that had been sitting there for a long time.

After pouring out the water, Bai Li bit the bottle opening and submerged herself in the water.

Whew~ Whew.

Bai Li breathed, glancing at the lower right corner of her head, where no bubbles appeared.

This method is feasible!

He suddenly had the idea of ​​spending all day and night chopping down trees, gathering enough logs to fill a backpack, and then slowly piecing them together with planks.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Li finally gave up.

He feared that once he saw the starry sky, he would no longer be able to find satisfaction in the process of the village's expansion.

The starry sky, well, it's something to remember this place by. I'll go back and see it again when this place gets boring.

This experiment wasn't entirely useless; he could have simply opened a door in the sea to separate the water, and then poured out the water that had flooded into the lid.

Perhaps we can explore the deep sea in the future.

However, there's no rush for these things. Let's take it slow and gradually develop the village.

I need to go back first; I still need to prepare for Wei Shi and the others' departure tomorrow.

Bai Li shook her head slightly and put the empty bottle back into her backpack.

I had only thought of this thing as trash, and had forgotten about it, leaving it in a corner of my backpack. I'd completely forgotten that I was in ancient times.

This thing has just doubled in value! You know, something as pure and transparent as this "glass" should be quite valuable.

Put it in your backpack first. Even if you don't use it later, you can sell it for iron, gold, or something similar.

We definitely can't sell it tomorrow; those rebels might target it. Let's find another opportunity later.

Packing my luggage, planning to bring back some local specialties when I return—it feels strangely familiar.

"Haha, it feels a bit like a combination of Travel Frog and SimCity, which is kind of interesting."

Bai Li smiled easily, looking at the village that had quieted down and the scattered mushroom houses in Mushroom Town.

He has a long time ahead of him.
