Chapter 202 Land Preparation (3)
No words were spoken that night.
After a night's rest, the next day's task is still to organize the land.
The soil was turned over from inside out yesterday. Since we are going to use the ridge method, what we have to do today is to dig ditches and build ridges. After that, the basic shape of the field will be completed.
This step is not difficult, the most important thing is to understand the process.
"To summarize, what we have to do today is to dig a ditch and then pile up the excavated soil along the direction of the ditch." Before starting the work, Xia Tian gave Si Ye a complete introduction to this method of land treatment.
She picked a flat piece of land as a small sample, drew a few straight lines on the ground with a branch, and pointed at the ground to demonstrate. "Look, we'll do this in a moment: dig a trench along the straight line, and pile the excavated soil in the middle. This piled area is called a ridge, and we'll plant on the ridge. This method makes the soil on the ridge more fertile, and the ditch can also drain water, giving us the best of both worlds."
In fact, although the ridge cultivation method has a very long history, it is still widely used in China until the 21st century.
After all, the trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works.
This is the result of the wisdom of the working people for thousands of years. It has fed countless Chinese people. How could it not be effective?
At the same time, Xia Tian also intentionally told this to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Because she discovered that although the viewers who watched her live broadcast came from a technologically advanced dimension, in fact, a lot of historical and cultural heritage had been lost.
Putting aside other things, at least as a Chinese, Xia Tian feels that she has the obligation to spread and promote such crystallizations of wisdom and symbols of civilization.
Si Ye had never imagined that farming could be so complex. He stood there for a moment, looking at the straight lines on the ground, and suddenly asked, "What is this method called?"
"What's it's called?" Xia Tian raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the other party would accept her mysterious identity as an "outsider" so quickly and even asked about the name of this method.
But since she was asked, there was no need for her to hide it. "The method of plundering."
After saying these three words, Xia Tian took the branch she had just used to demonstrate on the ground and wrote the three words on the ground. "In our place, this is called the ridge method. If we write it down, it's like this."
After writing, I looked up and found that Si Ye was looking at me with a very complicated look.
She was a little puzzled. She was using modern simplified Chinese characters, which should have been seen by no one in the world. Why did he look so familiar?
Then, she heard Si Ye ask, "Xia Xia, you actually know witchcraft?"
"Witchcraft???" Xia Tian blinked, unable to connect the dots between her ability to write simplified Chinese characters and witchcraft. "What are you talking about? I don't know witchcraft. I just know a few healing methods."
Witchcraft and divination belong to the supernatural realm. She doesn't understand them and won't make any comments.
As for why Si Ye claimed to know witchcraft...
Xia Tian seemed to suddenly remember something and exclaimed, "Huh?" "Si Ye, is this what the high priest of your original tribe wrote when he was fortune-telling?"
She suddenly realized that the earliest area where human writing appeared was the field of sacrifice, wasn't it?
Si Ye is from Beast City. Maybe he has seen the high priest fortune-telling and written similar "texts" before?
