Chen Mu ran all the way and ran for half an hour before arriving at the foot of a short mountain.
On the hillside, a square courtyard made entirely of stones comes into view.
That was the residence assigned to him in the lower courtyard of Jilong Road.
"I don't know if yellow sprout rice is easy to grow." Chen Mu thought quietly, opened the copper lock, and pushed the door open.
The courtyard faces south and is half the size of a basketball court.
There is a well on the east side near the door, and green moss grows on the lower edge of the stone well platform.
There is a depression at the mouth of the well made by the pressure of the bucket. When I touch it with my hand, it is smooth.
On the north side of the well platform is a small vegetable patch, which is now abandoned.
There is a wooden shed on the west side of the yard, and the stove is underneath.
"It's okay to make do." Chen Mu shrugged: "In the worst case, we will slowly reform in the future."
…
After putting the rice, meat, oil and salt, Chen Mu moved out a square table and placed it in the middle of the courtyard, and started preparing dinner.
When the sun set in the west, he had prepared four vegetarian dishes, four meat dishes and eight pot dishes, and cooked a pot of rice with silver pearl rice mixed with yellow sprout rice.
As soon as the things were placed, there was movement at the door.
Chen Mu turned around and saw an old man in his fifties, with his hands behind his back, standing by the door.
His nose twitched and his eyes lit up: "Brother Chen, what a craftsmanship."
"Mr. Hao, please come in quickly." Chen Mu immediately stood up to greet him.
This old man is his neighbor and lives on the other side of the short hill.
He was also the master assigned to him by Jilong Road Lower Courtyard.
Well...the master who taught him how to farm.
…
Halfway through the meal, Mr. Hao put down his rice bowl.
While Chen Mu was eating, he pulled out the cigarette stick from his waist, lit the tobacco leaves and took a puff.
"Your skills are really extraordinary." Mr. Hao sincerely admired.
"It's a new arrival, so there are a lot of things you don't understand, right?" Mr. Hao laughed.
"For the sake of your meal, ask." Mr. Hao leisurely blew out a puff of white smoke with a fragrant smell.
Chen Mu's hand froze. This was the first time he consulted for information without paying money. He was still a little used to it!
The old man did a lot of harm to others!
"Is yellow sprout rice easy to grow?" Chen Mu asked quickly.
"The House of Commons requires that one acre of land be paid with three hundred kilograms of yellow sprouted rice. For such a large piece of land, it will cost three hundred kilograms. Do you think it can be planted?" Mr. Hao asked in return?
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
"You have to prepare in advance." Mr. Hao said earnestly: "Be prepared to be in debt for several years."
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
"It's a bad start."
…
"The lower court will allocate you ten acres of land in total. You will have to hand over three thousand kilograms of yellow rice for harvest next autumn."
"If it's not enough, you have to pay it back slowly, and there will be interest."
"According to my father, it took him five years to pay off the debt." Mr. Hao said with a sigh on his face.
"Of course, if you have white jade money to pay off your debt, don't be afraid. One white jade coin can be worth a hundred catties." Mr. Hao raised his eyebrows again.
Chen Mu's face was full of worry: "But I don't have white jade money?"
"Then you have to exchange what you brought with you."
"We have two white jade coins every month. But you outsiders don't have white jade coins, only two thousand taels of silver for food."
"You can only hope to grow more yellow sprouted rice to save money."
"But once you take on this debt, you will have to work in vain for several years."
"If the unity of spirit and soul is delayed, it will be difficult to handle."
"You know, on the road of cultivation, every step that is slow will lead to slow steps." Mr. Hao shook his head with a sigh on his face: "If you take your time, you will lose hope. If you lose your spirit, you will only be unwilling."
"You always have to buy the secret method of uniting soul and soul, right?"
"The cheapest Bai Yang True Solution costs sixty white jade coins."
"My father saved for six years back then!" Hao Laoman said with emotion.
"Do the math, this wasted time will be gone in eleven years!"
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned ugly.
The future is worrying.
…
After the meal, Chen Mu saw off Mr. Hao and agreed to start learning to grow yellow rice the next day.
After closing the door, black smoke billowed, and the pots and pans were quickly washed away.
Chen Mu returned to the room, lit the oil lamp, took out all the money, and checked and calculated bit by bit.
"There are still two thousand two hundred and thirty-two taels of silver left."
"There are nine more gold cakes."
"This little money is enough for two months of food at most."
Moreover, the Yun Mirage Spiritual Armor Technique has been mastered to four-fifths, and the integration of armor and soul is getting faster and faster.
"If we let go of eating, we might not be able to survive for a month." Chen Mu's face was gloomy.
By then, white jade money will inevitably be used.
"One white jade coin and one hundred catties of yellow sprouted rice."
"Based on my current appetite, I have to eat at least twelve white jade coins a year!"
"And according to what Mr. Hao said, to grow yellow sprout rice, you also need to buy bone meal of exotic animals. One bag costs five white jade coins!"
And he only had seventeen white jade coins in total.
“What should I do if it’s autumn harvest time and I can’t afford the yellow rice?”
"Do you owe a debt..."
It's not that I don't know. After doing the calculation, Chen Mu's heart suddenly became clouded.
A huge pressure suddenly hit my heart.
"Work hard and practice hard?" Chen Mu couldn't help but sneer.
"If you don't add to the chaos, how about a second Song Supervisor?" A wave of anger instantly filled his heart.
"These guys from Jilong Road have already figured us out!"
"Don't think about doing anything except working hard!"
Chen Mu felt as if there was an invisible large net covering his hood.
The binding became tighter and tighter, so tight that he had no room to move!
"After all, I still have no money!" Chen Mu couldn't help but feel frustrated: "I, a time traveler, turned out to be a hero stumped by money?!"
Chen Mu smiled bitterly, feeling sad for a moment.
"Oh my God, this is unfair!" Chen Mu thought bitterly.
Those who are born with integrity are born to win at the starting line.
If you have extraordinary talent, you don’t have to work hard to get someone to give you money.
What do I have compared to them? I'm just an ordinary person with average talent. I have nothing!
Chen Mu was filled with grief and anger. He picked up a basket of Yingan Dingshen Pills with a look of reluctance.
"I worked hard and worked hard for a long time, but only thirty pills were sold for one piece of white jade?!"
"This bamboo basket is full of money, but it only costs five white jade coins!"
Chen Mu turned to look at the wooden frame in the corner, where seven flat bamboo baskets were placed layer by layer, filled with calming pills.
Chen Mu silently looked away, filled with grief and anger: "It's so difficult for me!"
…
The next day, in a fan-shaped field under a low mountain.
"Your land is not very good. There are mountains on both sides. Although it is not high, the light is not good after all." Mr. Hao stood in the black soil and looked around.
"The terrain is also irregular, too narrow and long, and planting and watering is too time-consuming."
"By the way, watering must only be done with well water in the yard, do you understand?" Old Hao turned to look at Chen Mu and warned.
Chen Mu's heart moved, thinking of the worn edge of the well: "Is there anything special about that well?"
Mr. Hao smiled mysteriously: "Do you think that yard was built casually?"
"Where the well is, there is the yard."
"All the wells in the entire basin were dug by experts from the upper court who specially clarified the water veins."
"The source of the water veins comes from Jilong Mountain, and it contains the energy of the earth spirit."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to make the yellow sprout rice sprout and grow."
Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Earth spirit vitality?"
