Chapter 129 Full of Rewards (Additional Updates for 15,000 Recommended Tickets from Qidian)
The weather at the beginning of this spring is very good. It will be sunny for three or four days and then it will start to rain for two days. Then it will be sunny for another two or three days and then it will rain again.
The Zhou family plowed the field for growing seedlings and spread out the fertilizer that Zhou Silang had piled up to dry. After confirming that it was usable, they dried it for two days and then generously spread it on the field.
The Zhou family soaked the grain seeds the night before. Because the temperature was suitable, they just hung them in a cloth bag overnight. When they opened the bag the next day, they saw little white sprouts on the grain seeds.
After making sure that the grain seeds could germinate, Old Zhou took his two sons to plant the seeds early in the morning.
Manbao didn't replace the rice seeds at home because, as Keke said, when the harvest comes in autumn, some particularly good rice ears will be kept for seeds. Keke said that the second seeding of these rice may cause various diseases, which will be bad if they are transmitted to other rice.
Everyone's fields are in large areas, and it would be bad if everyone's crops got sick because her family used different rice seeds.
Since the grain seeds could not be changed, Manbao focused more of his energy on growing ginger and yam, as well as digging wild vegetables, in addition to studying.
She would check on the ginger and yam in the field every now and then. Seeing that they were growing well, she even tried to fertilize them.
Of course, she only did a little bit of work, and Zhou Silang and his two younger brothers did the rest. This was their second time applying fertilizer. The first time was when they were planting, and they first spread a thin layer of fertilizer.
However, ginger and yam have been growing very fast recently, especially yam. Zhou Silang felt that the leaves that emerged were a little yellow, so he decided to fertilize it.
The truth was, seeing his father taking away most of the fertilizer in his pit, he felt that he could not just sit there and wait for death, so he simply spread the remaining fertilizer on the ground.
Only what you eat is yours. The same goes for farm manure. Only what you spread on your land is yours.
The experience of fighting with dad for the fat was quite special. Not only Zhou Silang, but even Manbao was excited for the whole night.
However, Old Zhou didn't care at all, because the manure in the two manure pits at home was almost fermented, and he didn't even look at the manure left by the fourth brother. Of course, it was impossible for Zhou Silang to ask for manure from him.
So Zhou Silang has been thinking about making a new pile of fertilizer recently. Manbao even gave him an idea, asking him to go into the mountains to dig some poisonous mushrooms and plant them on the fertilizer pile.
Because the entry for poisonous mushrooms has come out, it says that poisonous mushrooms can decompose dead leaves and other things that are difficult to decompose in nature.
Isn’t that the same as composting?
But her suggestion was ruthlessly rejected by Zhou Silang, because poisonous mushrooms were not that easy to find. If he had the time, he might as well cut the dead leaves into smaller pieces.
Zhou Silang is not very interested in poisonous mushrooms, but Manbao is different. She is very interested.
Because the points for poisonous mushrooms were collected, the reward was more than that for Ligustrum lucidum, a full seven thousand five hundred, and there were three hundred extra points because the number of samples she collected was very large, providing scientific researchers with excellent research specimens.
Combined with other inedible mushrooms at the time, as well as wild vegetables that were extinct or endangered, Manbao's points were increasing at a ding-dong rate every day.
Moreover, unlike before when she only received reward points from the encyclopedia after including plants, this time she also received click points one after another.
Manbao studied it for a while before she realized that after the researchers in the encyclopedia created entries, they could get points as rewards if someone clicked on them to read them.
This is the click reward, which is shared by her, Keke and the encyclopedia. Although the amount deposited each time is only a few points, she is still very happy.
Manbao asked about it, and she found out that the reason she received click rewards recently was because her newly collected wild vegetables were very popular.
The Encyclopedia has recently grown and cultivated several kinds of wild vegetables and announced it, so many people know about it.
People in the future will pay special attention to food, so many people go to the encyclopedia to look up entries on wild vegetables, and Manbao will earn click income.
As for the things she had collected before, there were only sporadic clicks, and those clicks took a very long time to accumulate into a point, and Manbao always forgot about them.
In addition, Keke also told her, "If you can dig up the soil where the poisonous mushrooms grow and include it in the catalog, I can apply to the higher authorities to give you the same points reward as the poisonous mushrooms."
Manbao asked curiously, "What do you need soil for?"
"Mushroom seeds are generally spores or mycelium. The poisonous mushrooms you collected can only be used as specimens. Currently, researchers can only use them for research and cannot cultivate them alive based on the existing poisonous mushroom samples, so..."
Manbao understood, and asked with sparkling eyes, "If I dig up the soil for you, will there be a chance that new poisonous mushrooms will grow on that soil?"
Koko: “Yes.”
"Is it the same with other mushrooms? Just dig up the soil they grew in and you can grow mushrooms?"
Keke was silent for a moment and said, "As long as the environment required for mushroom growth is met, it should be like this."
"What kind of environment do mushrooms need to grow?" Manbao likes to eat mushrooms very much. During the rainy and warm season every year, the family can occasionally find some mushrooms. The sister-in-law will beat a few eggs for them and cook them together, or buy some meat and cook them together. They are especially delicious.
Keke said, "Different mushrooms require different environments, and some mushrooms may become extinct in the future. Without scientific research, I can't give you an answer."
Manbao rolled his eyes and asked, "Do we need soil for research environments?"
"Yes, because if they're not cultivated, no one knows what kind of environment they're suitable for. Didn't you notice that the cultivation environment in the entry for poisonous mushrooms is currently blank?"
Manbao understood and felt a little disappointed. This meant that she might not be able to grow mushrooms this year.
She sighed, then walked to the place where she had picked poisonous mushrooms that day, dug a handful of soil for Koko, and then turned back home, "Remember to give me my points."
Now she has 38,458 points. Although it is still far from the points required to buy potions, there is great hope, isn't it?
Keke felt that the host needed more encouragement, so he said, "Host, I find that your place is very rich in resources. It's just that you have not been to many places, so your points are increasing so slowly. When you grow up a little more, your points will increase faster."
Manbao looked worried and asked, "When will I grow up?"
For children, growing up is a very distant thing.
Koko gathered a lot of information and said to her, "It's almost time. Many people who have experienced this say that time flies by like a white horse, so the host will also grow up quickly. So I suggest that the host should hurry up and accumulate knowledge and wealth."
“Because only with sufficient knowledge can you know more plants, and only with more wealth can you travel to more places to learn about plants.”
