"I heard that the chef at Bazhenlou can make meat-flavored dishes from vegetarian dishes. Is he really capable of this?" Shang Huan asked.
"It can be done." Chen Mu nodded.
"As long as you have the right condiments and good cooking skills."
Chen Mu can do it himself.
"These cooks are really good, they can change the taste of ingredients at will." Shang Huan looked surprised.
The three of them chatted while eating.
After a while, they talked about the invasion of the medicinal fields by strange beasts and the increase in the price of medicinal materials.
"If I had known, I would have stocked up a batch." Shang Huan was annoyed: "The prices of some key medicinal materials have increased at least twice!"
What a great money-making opportunity.
"The lower court is not stupid, Baicaoge's reaction is much faster than yours." Mr. Hao smoked.
Chen Mu understood, no wonder there was no Guanyecao in the underground market.
"Is it easy to grow medicinal materials?" Chen Mu asked quietly.
The medicines that can be grown in the lower courtyard are different from ordinary secular medicinal materials. Just like yellow sprout rice, it will not survive growing outside.
"Our land is not good anyway." Mr. Hao shook his head.
"Do you need to look at Feng Shui when growing medicine?" Shang Huan joked with a smile as he didn't know anything about farming.
Mr. Hao snorted and gave Shang Huan, a novice farmer, a sideways look: "It doesn't look at the wind, but it looks at the water!"
water?
It's the earth spirit vitality!
Does growing medicinal materials require more earth spirit energy?
"You want to plant medicine?" Mr. Hao could tell Chen Mu's plan at a glance.
"Let's learn it first. As you said, there is no money in growing yellow bud rice." Chen Mu smiled and nodded.
"It's a waste of effort, we can't survive on this water." Mr. Hao shook his head.
Water is not good, but I have a white jade plate.
Chen Mu smiled and said nothing.
…
Tongtianfang, the residence of the lower court.
Chen Mu walked out of the Sutra Academy and glanced back at the octagonal wooden building with bronze wind chimes hanging on it: "It's really expensive."
Reading for an hour costs one white jade coin.
Immediately, Chen Mu shrugged: "A little more expensive is better than nothing."
The lower courtyard is the resource production base of Jilong Road. In addition to the jade tablets of secret law, there are also many miscellaneous books in the courtyard.
He came here to find information on planting medicine.
After leaving the Sutra School, he went to Baicao Pavilion and spent a white jade to buy thirty seeds of nightshade.
I made a culture tank out of wood chips when I got home, one meter long and half a meter wide, and about knee-high.
Make planting soil, sow seeds, water and fertilize.
Finally, place the culture tank next to the white jade plate to ensure sufficient concentration of earth spirit energy.
"Work together!" Chen Mu clapped his hands with satisfaction.
Just wait for the seeds to germinate and grow seedlings, then you can try transplanting.
…
Half a month later, in the Aishan courtyard, on the west side of the patio.
Chen Mu stood under the wooden shed of the stove, looking at the small field in front of him, but his face didn't look good.
Transplanted nightshade seedlings are planted in the field ridges.
Thirty seeds, twenty-five sprouts. But after transplanting, not a single tree survived!
The last young seedling fell completely this morning.
“You can’t try blindly.”
Chen Mu couldn't help but was speechless. In one attempt, he lost two white jade coins, which was enough for him to eat for a month.
"But we still have to keep planting."
Whether it is the House of Commons or Chifeng, key drugs such as nightshade and nightshade have stopped retailing.
The ten pounds in his hand can only last half a year.
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall.
Cloud Mirage Spiritual Armor: 5257/10000/eighth level;
Planting: 9260/10000/Level 2;
Sand Containing Technique: 3790/10000/Level 4;
Baiyi aura: 3232/10000;
Don't worry about the spirit armor technique, it will practice on its own.
There was no special arrangement for practicing the Shaman Technique, it was just a pastime to pass the time.
"The time spent practicing the aura technique can be reduced a little." Chen Mu thought to himself.
Even if you practice with all your strength, you are still far from perfection.
"Then move a few days to gain planting experience."
"The second level is not enough, the third level should be enough."
"Isn't it just liver?"
At the original rate, handling the yellow sprout rice field every day can bring it about thirty experience points.
If you want to advance, it will take about twenty-four to five days.
But in addition to hands-on practice, there is actually another way to improve experience.
"You just have to spend money."
…
Six days later, Chen Mu walked out of the Sutra Academy with an unfamiliar face.
He came to the Seminary for six days in a row, constantly reading books on seedling transplantation, insecticide and weeding, fertilizer preparation and medicinal properties.
Not only has the implantation technique been promoted to the third level, but he has also gained more than 300 pharmaceutical experience.
"Come a few more times to get your pharmaceutical skills to the top?" Chen Mu was ready to make a move.
But after thinking about it, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
Pharmacy is only halfway through. He doesn't have that much white jade money.
Even if there were, I wouldn’t dare to come. What if someone is interested in you?
He has proficiency in plug-ins and will be able to earn enough experience sooner or later.
You will even reach the top faster and better than others.
"There's no rush."
"It's better to plant nightshades first."
This thing is related to whether he can have a stable source of income in the future.
…
When he was about to leave the lower court, a group of people crowded in front of the inspection court caught Chen Mu's attention.
He walked to the shade of a tree in the distance and stopped to watch with a few people under the tree.
"Not full yet?" Chen Mu was surprised and casually chatted with a few people under the tree.
Before he frequently went to the Bible College to read books, the Inspection College was already recruiting people. Six days later, the recruitment office is still full.
"It's because the wild beasts in the mountains are agitated, and there are not enough manpower." A man who looked like an old farmer in his fifties next to him replied.
"It's a pity that I haven't mastered the secret technique, otherwise I would have to sign up." Another man in his forties with a beard and a beard said in a loud voice.
"A regular payment of five pieces of white jade per month."
"You can still get some money by killing exotic animals."
"You can easily earn ten white jade coins in one month!"
"Then you have to have the life to get the money." The old man glanced at the other party: "The strange beasts are not the pigs and sheep on the chopping board."
Chen Mu couldn't help but nod.
Because the earth spirit energy in the lower courtyard is strong and the materials are abundant, there are often attacks by strange beasts. Hunting and killing strange beasts is one of the responsibilities of the Inspectorate.
It's a well-paying job, but it's also dangerous.
“Aren’t we here just to take a step further?”
"You need white jade to eat, you need white jade to buy secret techniques, you need white jade to buy auxiliary pills, and you need white jade to go to the dojo to practice!"
"How can we go further without white jade money?" The bearded man's voice was filled with suffocated anger.
"If you grow yellow sprout rice, you will be given two coins every month, which is only enough to buy a bag of yellow sprout rice and a bottle of Dingshen Pills."
"If you rent twenty acres of land, the harvest will be the best, and you can get twenty or thirty white jade coins a year."
"This little money is enough to do anything!" The strong man stared at the Inspectorate unwillingly: "Wealth can be found in danger, but it's a pity..."
Chen Mu couldn't help but agree: "It's difficult for those of us who farm!"
The old man's face was not very good either: "With the pest outbreak, everyone will suffer a lot of losses this year."
"In the next few years, I might have to work for nothing."
Chen Mu felt worried: "It's indeed not small."
Emerald beetles have damaged acres of land.
Guan Qieyecao had already spent eight white jade coins before he saw the shadow.
"It will probably take a lot of time to fill this hole." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh after thinking about it for a while.
No matter what, it will take three days!
She had to wait until he handed over the latest set of Dingshen pills to Shang Huan.
