510,【Night in the Wilderness】

People live a monotonous life and are always very interested in joining in the fun.

Many times, in order to join in the fun, everyone is not even afraid of taking risks, or ignoring the dangers that are close to you. Fang Chang comes into contact with a much wider world than ordinary people. There are many such situations in the stories he hears, and even tragedies.

Now that the busy farming period is over, the family that has harvested early will get leisurely.

“It looks really good.”

"Yeah, I just don't know how it tastes."

"I seem to have heard from my relatives that this thing is good for wasteland. I usually plant a few acres of land. If there is a disaster year, it depends on the wrong momentum. Replanting quickly can make a harvest in a year."

"Wow! That one is big."

Around these minor officials who worked, the people around were chatting with each other.

Fang Chang leaned forward and looked inside. It turned out that several minor officials were collecting potatoes. They turned a blind eye to the discussions of the people around them, and were only busy with the work in front of them, and even had no interest in chatting.

This is normal. No one can feel good if you are surrounded by this.

After the ground was turned on and piled up the potatoes on the ground, a small official finally spoke: "Let's help two people, carry the scale rod, let's talk about how much this land has harvested!"

Hearing this, the idle villagers around him suddenly became interested and began to shout.

Anyway, there is nothing to do now, and after the harvest, I have had a full meal, so everyone doesn't care about spending some effort. So seven or eight of them immediately stepped forward and lifted the large scale brought by the officials with the crossbars, and the others put up baskets of potatoes.

Rough arithmetic is a necessary skill for production, and several people know it. After adding up the various weighing results, they get a number that shocks the villagers.

"Two,304 pounds! Two,304 pounds!"

Everyone shouted in surprise and looked at the potato seedlings in the field that had been thrown aside, and their eyes suddenly became hot.

Someone who is more mature and steadfast said in a very comprehensible tone:

"This is considered fresh goods, with plenty of moisture, but even half of them are less than 1,000 kilograms after drying, which is much better than the millet we plant."

"I just don't know how it tastes, but I definitely don't have the habit of eating rice and wheat cakes, and storage is also a problem."

Fang Chang said to himself, "What this person is right."

The ground potato he discovered deep in Yunzhongshan was a kind of thing between potatoes and sweet potatoes. It naturally had the advantages and disadvantages of both, but the yield was still very high and it was not picky about the ground.

I heard those officials wiped their sweat and said with a head start:

"This is a new variety that the yamen is preparing to promote! When the spring is urging farmers, someone will distribute it, and it is not for everyone to use it as the staple food. The yamen means that you can just take out some places and plant some."

"The land potatoes have high yields and fast growth. They don't pick up the land. They can be grown even in barren areas on the hillsides and do not require too much care. The land potatoes can be used as grain and vegetables, but they need to be stored for a long time and dried, which is more effort."

"The most important thing is that the potatoes in this land can be prepared for wasteland. In the wilderness, plant them in an emergency and avoid the harvest. If they are planted, they will be able to eat seedlings soon and feed them in normal times."

"The climate here is usually mainly newly promoted wheat, with beans and millet mixed with plantings, and growing some potatoes in poverty and corners. As long as you are not afraid of having to work hard, you will definitely live a good life."

After hearing his last words, the people around him immediately laughed:

"That's natural. The fields will not lie. How much effort can you get to get a lot of harvest. Since several adults said this potato so well, we have also called it, so I will pick up small pieces of rotten land next year and try planting some."

Seeing that the lecture was very successful, the officials were very happy. They took some potatoes and sent two to the surrounding people. They put a cart, packed the potatoes and various tools, and left with the thanks from the people around them.

………

The night was already very cool, the mist was getting thinner, the dew at the tip of the grass was gradually condensed, and the stars in the sky were a little faintly.

Fang Chang slept in a shelter and was with two horse-drawn carriages.

In fact, this is not the kind of place that tourists must visit, and it was the place that Fang Chang first found. He looked for some firewood and caught fire.

Now he has new tools for making fire, fire snatches and fire knives have been eliminated, and the convex lens is not suitable for the sunless evening. He took out the lighter from his arms, rubbed it hard for a few times, and then a flame came out, igniting the hay to ignite the fire, and then igniting the branches.

This is a gadget he made, and it is really convenient if he doesn't use spells. In fact, the structure is not complicated. The lighter is a copper shell, filled with alcohol and is drawn out with a wick. There is a small steel wheel outside, and a piece of flint that can be replaced. Mars can be fired by turning and friction. A lid with a spring is made on the outside. If you gently tug it, you can open it or cover it with a "click".

The square long has no lettering on it. To him, this is a gadget, and it is created just for convenience and fun.

In fact, it was barely enough to make a drink of strong wine, but Fang Chang still distilled the wine head a few times, then added some quicklime to remove moisture, and then made anhydrous alcohol. The idea of ​​refining yellow phosphorus to make matches is only half done. Fang Chang used a new woodworking machine tool and made a large number of matchsticks, so he stopped trying in this regard.

The two carriages next to them were passing by. In the evening, they found that they were not in front of the village or the shop. They saw the light of the bonfire in front of Fang Chang, and then came over and asked to get the fire.

Although Fang Chang was wearing a sword, he was not a bad person no matter how he looked. In addition, the more people staying in the wild, the better, so they made such a request.

They acted very well. After receiving Fang Chang's permission, they collected firewood and took out food to share with Fang Chang.

After nightfall, everyone was not in a hurry to rest, but surrounded the fire and drank tea and chatted. The bonfire was very prosperous, and the small pot on it was gushing, and there were large pieces of tea, which were carried by passengers in one of the carriages. There was a wooden spoon next to it. Whenever there was not enough tea in the container held by someone, he would get up and scoop it all up.

As soon as there are more people, the content of the chat will be uncontrollable, and the conversion from all over the world is very fast, but no one named this phenomenon "Wanglou" or anything else at this time.

"... Everyone has their own wonderful methods for health preservation. Some rely on eating, some rely on tonics, and some rely on care about hot and cold. But I have seen the longest-lived person and told me his secret, which made me admire him very much. In fact, it is not difficult to say, but it is difficult to do, especially perseverance, which is just two words - deaf and mute."
