As time passed, the weather became colder.
Ten days later, the yellow sprout rice was harvested. Chen Mu looked at the five bags of yellow sprout rice in front of the wooden house and sighed.
"If we were in Tongtianhe Lower Courtyard, we would be able to harvest more than 1,700 kilograms of yellow rice from these five acres of land."
"Look at me now, I'm thankful to be able to weigh 600 pounds!"
Old man Yang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, put down the black clay pot that was half a man's height: "Just be satisfied."
As he spoke, he glanced around, then pointed at the hillside behind Chen Mu with his chin.
"This neighbor of yours has more than eight acres of land and can't even harvest five hundred kilograms!"
Chen Mu couldn't help but gasped: "Then he has to give nearly twenty white jade coins to the House of Commons to deduct the land rent?"
"That's not true. Half of the wages earned from pioneering land for half a year will be paid back in one go. Tsk tsk..." Old Man Yang shook his head and lifted the cotton cloth on the black clay pot.
The sound of crawling insects could be heard.
Chen Mu immediately took two steps back in disgust.
"It's not like you haven't seen it before, so you are afraid of a ball." Old Man Yang said angrily: "These little babies are so cute!"
Chen Mu shuddered: "Not everyone has your strange habit."
Buzz buzz...
The gray insect swarms are like waves in the shallows, rolling and rushing towards the yellow bud rice field. The dead and yellow branches and leaves were quickly crushed and backfilled.
"This year's harvest is not good. If you have spare money, you'd better stock up on more yellow sprout rice." Old Man Yang advised.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "If you grow your own crops, you can also intercept more water."
Chen Mu nodded secretly, deeply convinced.
After returning from land reclamation, he specially used feed spring water for emergency irrigation and rescue, and only harvested more than 100 kilograms per mu.
Others who are completely ignored will probably be even worse.
A bad harvest of yellow bud rice is inevitable.
If the harvest fails, prices may become more expensive.
…
evening.
Chen Mu sat under the window on the east side of the wooden house. In front of him were five gray cloth bags as high as his knees. Each bag contained a hundred kilograms of yellow rice.
"Stay short."
After sending Old Man Yang away, Chen Mu immediately went to Lengyuefang Grain Store.
Huangya rice is still a hundred catties of white jade, but each person can only buy two hundred catties.
Including the 300 jins intercepted, he only had 500 jins in hand. Enough to last him for three months at most.
"I feel uneasy."
…
The next day, Chen Mu came to Lengyuefang Grain Store again.
"Two pieces of white jade for one hundred pounds?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows. The price increased so quickly? !
"Give me two hundred catties!" He didn't dare to hesitate. Who knew whether the price would continue to rise tomorrow.
"I can't buy it. Your purchase amount for this month is already full." The short-sleeved guy in gray casually handed the ID badge to Chen Mu and sent Chen Mu away with a wave of his hand.
"Isn't there only a limit on the purchase quantity?" Chen Mu was surprised.
"New regulations. Each person can buy up to two hundred catties per month."
"Let's go quickly, the people behind are still buying." The guy in gray looked impatient.
Are all the grain store guys so arrogant now?
It's completely a seller's market.
Chen Mu, who was squeezed out of the grain store, felt his heart sink when he saw more and more people buying grain.
I just finished harvesting yellow bud rice yesterday, and it’s so expensive now.
There is still a year until next year's autumn harvest. How expensive will the rice be in the second half of next year?
Half an hour later.
Chen Mu carried the bacon made from the leg of an unknown alien animal and walked out of the butcher shop expressionlessly.
The price of exotic meat has also increased.
A piece of white jade weighs five kilograms. This bacon leg cost him nine pieces of white jade. In the past, it only cost him four pieces at most.
"The lower courtyard is still as dark as ever!" Chen Mu curled his lips.
This year we will open up mountains and open up wasteland, and we will pay a lot of wages.
But now the prices are getting higher and higher. After going around and around, the white jade money sent out returns to the lower house.
"There are great talents in the General Affairs Council!"
Although he is not short of money now. But I was really unwilling to be forced to eat high-priced grain and meat.
"Still less prepared."
When I first came to Pengyue Mountain, I should have stocked up on rice and meat!
"Who would have thought that it would take half a year to open up wasteland." Chen Mu was annoyed.
He originally wanted to wait for the yellow sprout rice to be harvested and then stock up on the yellow sprout rice he grew.
pity……
…
In the next few days, Chen Mu went to Leng Yuefang many times.
Whether it is the lower courtyard rice shop butcher shop or the free market in Lengyuefangdong, the price of rice and meat has increased.
The good thing is that although it has doubled, it has not continued.
The bad thing is that although it is not rising now, no one can say whether it will not rise in the second half of the year.
"Who would have thought that eating would become a problem after everyone began to seek Taoism and practice immortality."
He glanced at the huge sum of more than 20,000 white jade in Wugui's bag. Chen Mu felt slightly relieved. At least he can still afford it.
"My arms can't hold my thighs. There's nothing I can do. Just practice with peace of mind."
The weather has turned colder, the land needs cultivation, and hunting has been completed. The entire Pengyue Mountain, like the woods that are gradually turning yellow and quiet, slowly calms down.
Chen Mu also had enough time to gain experience.
…
A month later, the wooden porch in front of the wooden house.
Chen Mu was lying in the rocking chair with a soft animal skin blanket covering his knees.
He held a cup of warm-up tea that was constantly steaming in his left hand, and played with a hollow bone ball in his right hand. His eyes were fixed on the gray wall in the void.
“It’s nice to not have to clear up wasteland.”
After staying at home for a month, apart from eating and resting, Chen Mu spent his free time staring at the gray wall and painting experiences.
There has been no movement on other items, but the soul-nurturing spell that he had high hopes for has been successfully advanced.
Soul-nurturing spell: 103/10000/second level;
The mind moves.
Qi Ban Baili is activated.
Ten meters away, a fist-sized stone was suspended out of thin air.
The next moment, like a bullet being fired, it tore through the air with a sharp whistle and headed straight for Chen Mu's head.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he was three meters in front of him.
A trace of black smoke came out of the void, but Chen Mu took the initiative to restrain it.
The bright white aura just emerged and was dispelled by Chen Mu.
The bone ball in the palm of the hand suddenly disappeared.
In the jade seed, the soul-nurturing talisman, which had turned into a small mess, took the initiative to penetrate into the Yuan talisman.
boom!
A seemingly real and illusory hemispherical bone shield suddenly stood in front of him.
The rocks coming at extremely high speed were immediately thrown away.
"The soul-nurturing spell nourishes the spirituality of the magic weapon, so it allows Yang Cuo to protect his body on his own?" Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
For other secret arts, incantations are initially used to form temporary talismans, and then the talismans are used to activate the secret arts or magical weapons.
The yang and yin errors themselves have the effect of jade tablets. After injecting magic power, they can replace the effect of the curse and form a temporary talisman.
It is equivalent to replacing the step of reciting a mantra with a simple method of transferring mana.
After entering the second level of the Soul-nurturing Mantra, Yang errors become more spiritual.
This allows it to proactively detect attacks, and can also autonomously draw mana into the bone ball.
The steps to cast a spell are further reduced.
The process is fully automated.
Even Chen Mu was saved.
"Isn't this the magic weapon version of the spiritual light armor?" Chen Mule said.
After listing them carefully, Chen Mu discovered that without realizing it, he had already put up several layers of defense for himself.
First there is the black smoke that comes with the spirit armor, then there is the jade aura, then there is the Yangcuo White Bone Shield, and finally there is a layer of spirit armor that creates steel and iron bones.
Occasionally, you can also use Qi Jing Baili to act as a defensive force field.
"These layers of defense...haha!"
At that time, he practiced a variety of training techniques. He once wanted to keep stacking his armor and train himself into a muscular master who could carry and fight, but it didn't work out.
Now I have come up with a different kind of stacked armor.
Whether I can fight it or not is another matter, but I can handle it anyway.
"It's a dream come true."
