Chapter 178: Cao Cao's Second Brother and Goulong Planting



“Boom!”

A sound much louder than the previous one was heard, and the eldest brother holding the rattan shield leaned back and took a small step back.

The arm that was resting on the rattan shield was hurting a little.

Despite this, the eldest senior brother was very happy, because if there was no vine shield to block the attack, even if he could dodge it, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.

When he turned the vine shield to look at it sideways, he saw that a relatively thin branch had broken off where the stone spear had just pierced.

It must have been stabbed directly by the tip of the spear.

However, the eldest brother was not hurt because the stone spear was blocked by the other tree branches on the side and could not penetrate too far.

The vine shields were woven very densely, with one branch pressed closely against another. Even if the spear tip could pierce the first branch that was hit, it would be stuck tightly by the other branches and could not move forward too far.

Shang pulled the stone spear away from the rattan shield with some effort. The eldest brother raised the rattan shield in his hand for the Son of God and everyone to see.

Then he handed the vine shield to his second senior brother who was standing not far away, clenched his fists, and pounded his chest hard, showing everyone that he was strong and proving that he was not injured.

Not only the eldest brother was excited, but the others who had seemed a little nervous while watching the experiment on the field also became extremely excited.

They saw with their own eyes the toughness of the rattan shield and became more fond of this thing woven with wooden strips.

Before they had vine shields, when they were attacked, they could only fight on, run away or pray to the gods to protect them. Now, they don’t have to do that.

With the vine shield created by the Son of God, they can fully use it to protect themselves.

Just imagine that when others think that this spear will definitely kill you, you block it with a rattan shield, and quickly counterattack and kill it. That feeling is really good.

Han Cheng was also very happy. Facts proved that his idea of ​​making a rattan shield was very good. Although the rattan shield suffered some damage this time when Shang gave his full strength, it was not a big problem as long as the direction was correct.

In the future, we only need to make the branches used to weave the rattan shield thicker, or directly make the rattan shield into a double layer, which can perfectly solve the problem of the rattan shield being not strong enough.

Everyone lost their sleepiness and were observing the rattan shield. The only rattan shield was passed back and forth among the people. From time to time, someone would hold it in their hands and play with it a few times to express their curiosity about the rattan shield.

After a while, under the leadership of the eldest brother, everyone picked up their respective tools, went out of the courtyard wall, went to the west, and continued to turn the soil.

Han Cheng didn't go out because Wu was asking him and Bo about the rattan shield.

Wu listened and thought hard, nodding slightly from time to time, looking suddenly enlightened.

After a while, Han Cheng began to talk to Bo about the improvement of the rattan shield.

These were the two methods he had thought of before. One was to use thicker rattan to weave, and the other was to use thinner rattan to weave a double-layer rattan shield.

It is not enough to rely on simple imagination. The specific effect can only be known after verification.

After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

While watching Bo operate according to his idea, Han Cheng couldn't help but think of the rattan armor army of the southern barbarians during the Three Kingdoms period.

Should I also imitate the Rattan Armor Army and soak the rattan shield in oil?

If tung oil is not available, animal fat oil or rapeseed oil should also be OK.

Although so far, the rapeseed produced in the tribe is not enough to be extracted for oil.

Han Cheng was not too worried about whether someone would use fire attack like Mr. Wolong did and burn all the rattan shields of his tribe.

After all, at that time, productivity was relatively low, people's imagination was far less creative than that of people in later generations, and it was difficult to make fire. It was obviously extremely difficult to use fire to burn the vine shields.

Moreover, the rattan shield is different from the rattan armor. The rattan armor is not easy to take off once worn, and it is extremely difficult to escape when it catches fire, but the rattan shield only requires you to loosen your hand.

This is very similar to the "small tractor" used for plowing the fields. If something goes wrong while plowing the fields, just let go of your hands and everything will be fine. If it is a four-wheel tractor, it will be much more troublesome.

Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when thinking about this.

Then, the image of the extremely greedy second brother holding the rattan shield soaked in fat oil and chewing it suddenly appeared in my mind, just like the brother who could float on water chewing eggs in Shaolin Soccer...

Han Cheng smiled secretly and shook his head, stopping his wandering thoughts.

The second senior brother, who broke the bone shovel because he worked too hard and came back to get a new one, saw the Son of God shaking his head and laughing, and suddenly felt his nose itchy.

After sneezing loudly, he bowed to the Son of God who was looking at him in surprise and was obviously frightened by him, and left in a hurry to avoid causing any more trouble.

Seeing his second brother hurriedly leaving with a bone shovel, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffing. Is this guy a member of Cao Cao's family? Is his Qinggong so amazing?

Or is it that I am in tune with my own thoughts... Ugh...!

After thinking for a while, Han Cheng decided to put the matter of soaking the rattan shield in oil aside for the time being, and make a decision based on the rapeseed yield after it matures next year.

After making sure that Bo understood what he meant, Han Cheng stayed here for a while, got up and went back to the cave, and soon left with a small earthenware jar in one hand.

There was a word written on each of the two jars with stone, one was "white" and the other was "oil".

The earthen jar was also filled with rapeseed, but they were the two types that Han Cheng had taken careful care of before. Now it was time to plant them.

In the rapeseed field that had already been planted for a season, Han Cheng deliberately left a large area specifically for planting these two types of rapeseed.

Not only was there enough fertilizer on this piece of land, but the soil was also very fine. This was the work of Balloon, who was holding a rake and wiping his sweat off his face.

The first crop planted was 'cabbage'.

Unlike the previous method of sowing seeds when planting rapeseed, this time Han Cheng dug furrows.

In order to prevent the ditch from being crooked, he specially found a rope and two thin sticks.

Tie the two ends of the rope to a stick respectively, and then determine the position by a straight line between the two points. Then insert a stick with a flat head into the soil, walk backwards along the line, and a shallow ditch will appear.

The distance between two adjacent grooves is twenty centimeters.

After Han Cheng dug three trenches in a row, the task of digging trenches along the line fell into the hands of Qiongbao.

Han Cheng picked up the pottery jar with the word "Bai" written on it, picked up the seeds inside, and scattered them carefully along the grooves.

After sowing the "cabbage" seeds in four or five furrows in a row, take the rake at the edge of the field, turn it over so that the crossbar is facing downward, and gently pull it back and forth. The loose soil will cover the furrows and make the field flat.

The specially selected rapeseed is planted in the same way as cabbage, by also making furrows between two points and then sowing the seeds along the furrows.

However, the distance between two adjacent ridges is only ten centimeters.

The 'cabbage' field is connected to the specially selected rapeseed field, with a 40-centimeter-wide gap in the middle to separate them. In time, this will become a ridge.

Planting along the ditches is a relatively delicate job, and it is not until dark that all the seeds are planted.

“Someone! Someone!”

The next morning, Han Cheng was still asleep when he was awakened by the sudden shouting and the sound of the bang bang.
