Bai Li dug three consecutive holes in the ground. He drilled out two grids of groundwater from the depths of the ground and placed them at both ends. The water source then filled the space in the middle.
"I haven't lost my craftsmanship yet, I've got unlimited water!"
Next, if necessary, I only need to use an iron bucket to scoop out the water cube in the middle and put it in other places.
Now you can start farming wheat.
Taking out the stone hoe that had been prepared, Bai Li calculated the distance, plowed a small piece of land in the open space, dug into the middle grid, put water in it, and then planted all the wheat.
Although he only planted less than half, Bai Li felt very satisfied.
Hehe, it's great. I have my own house, although it's just a matchbox made of stone for the time being, and my own field. It's great to have so much free time to farm.
"Let's build another fence to prevent any animals from coming over and destroying my land while I'm sleeping."
Calculating the time, if Liu Er comes over, he should be there soon.
Bai Li knocked on his waist, supported his head with the stone hoe in his hand, and looked at the position of the sun in the sky.
In the past three or four days, Liu Er often came to this place to see him, bringing wolf meat and pancakes with him. However, these days, the wolf meat was all eaten up and only the pancakes were left. For this reason, Liu Er specially asked Bai Li Apology coming.
It made Bai Li feel a little embarrassed.
After all, the wolf meat was basically untouched and was put into the box by him.
Of course, Bai Li will not take it for nothing, and will give an apple in return from time to time. After going back and forth, the relationship between the two people became familiar.
"Obviously the village is nearby, but I can't even see anyone. It's really weird!"
Fortunately, Liu Er would stay at my place for a while while cutting firewood every day, otherwise he would have bored me to death.
"Well, the farming is pretty good. It would be great if we could produce two more chickens and sheep. Animal husbandry can also be developed, but it's a pity that I just can't produce it for some reason."
"Brother Bai!"
Just when Bai Li was in a daze, there was a sudden exclamation from behind, which made him drop the stone hoe in his hand. He turned around and saw Liu Er standing behind him with a smile on his back, carrying a basket.
"Oh, let me go, Liu Er, you almost scared me to death," Bai Li pretended to be overly frightened and covered his chest.
"Brother Bai, you scared me first, more than once or twice," Liu Er said helplessly: "And compared to what you did, I feel like I just did what I should do."
Since the two got acquainted, he has completely believed that Bai Li is a good person.
This is the character,
Somewhat noisy.
Um, do you have it yourself? Oh, I forgot the time while mining a few times. When I came up, I saw that Liu Er had already come and was looking for him everywhere. He went up to say hello, but he didn't expect that he actually scared Liu Er.
Bai Li smiled awkwardly when he recalled it.
"This is today's meal. Brother Bai, eat it while it's hot."
After handing the pancake to Bai Li, Liu Er's eyes were attracted to the farmland on the side. He could tell at a glance that the crops on it were wheat seeds.
Brother Bai, are you going to plant wheat?
But this is not the right time. Can we sow at this time to catch up with the summer and have a good harvest? Maybe Brother Bai has his own way.
He asked curiously: "Brother Bai, are you planning to plant wheat?"
"That's right." Bai Li swallowed the pancake in his hand in several mouthfuls, rubbed his hands, and the residue on it fell down: "Don't worry, this wheat grows very fast, maybe it will grow in three days." It’s ready for harvesting when it’s ripe, and it can mature within a week at the latest.”
And it’s very convenient. Once you plant it, you just have to wait for it to mature.
Bai Li thought to himself.
"A week?" Liu Er was very confused.
Bai Li explained: "It means seven days."
Liu Er looked at the field in shock and couldn't move his eyes away for a long time.
The life of wheat is divided into 12 growth stages, including emergence, three leaves, tillering, overwintering, turning green, rising, jointing, booting, heading, flowering, grain filling, and maturity.
The number of days it takes from sowing to maturity is called the growth period. The growth period of wheat is generally 220-250 days.
Brother Bai actually said that it would only take less than a week.
Liu Er felt his mouth was dry, and there was a trace of desire in his eyes.
Fortunately for their family, their father is a very powerful hunter, and he can harvest from time to time. If he is lucky, he will catch a lot of prey, and he will leave some to share with the people in the village.
Everyone else in the village was so hungry that they were skin and bones. A few days ago, he heard that someone in the village had died of starvation.
But even so, my family could barely make ends meet.
Now my mother is seriously ill again and her life is even more difficult.
The food for Brother Bai was also left over from his own daily food.
If his family, no, the whole village, grew this wheat, then he wouldn't know how to...
Bai Li naturally noticed Liu Er's abnormality. Seeing him looking at Xiaomai in a daze, his expression was a little lost, and he also had some guesses in his heart.
Although he didn't know the living environment in Liu Er's village, it was probably very bad. After all, this was ancient times, and hunger was common.
Not to mention, this was the late Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age!
But I only have so many seeds, and if I leave the range, I don’t know if these seeds can still work.
"When the wheat is ripe, I'll treat you to some bread." Bai Li stretched out his hand and raised it in front of Liu Er, interrupting his thoughts.
"bread?"
"Well, it should taste very good, at least a hundred times better than pancakes." Bai Li said.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. It's a thank you for sending me food these days, otherwise I might really starve to death."
Although the taste of the wolf meat is a bit unpalatable, the pancakes are quite good. Even though your teeth will rattle when you eat them, it's not a big deal. They are not as hard as his teeth anyway.
After all, the time is much longer than in the game.
"Then thank you first, Brother Bai."
"Haha, it's a small thing."
Liu Er asked expectantly: "Brother Bai, you are so good, do you also know how to treat doctors?"
"I don't know how to see a doctor, but I may have a way to treat the disease, but it's not working right now. Something is missing." Bai Li replied.
In MC, milk can clear out all negative effects. You already have an iron bucket. If you have a cow, you can try to see if you can take out the milk.
Hey, I’m a little curious about whether you can get milk from a bull!
"What's missing? Maybe I have it at home."
Liu Er asked excitedly.
"Do you have any cows at home? Both males and females should be fine~"
ox?
The village chief’s grandfather’s house has an old scalper.
Mom is saved!
"By the way Liu Er, do you have cable at home?" Bai Li asked sheepishly.
I originally planned to try to see if I could find some spider webs, but I couldn't find even a spider leg these days. Now that I have found water and made an iron bucket, I can start building a fish pond.
