Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!
Chapter 6 New Daily Life (2)
Liduo's daily life has become busier now. She wakes up at dawn every morning, sits cross-legged on the bed and contemplates for an hour, then goes to the desk to draw the object. She then warms up for half an hour and practices basic knife skills for half an hour.
All of this was done in Liduo's room. When Liduo came here, she lived alone in a room. The room was very large, more than 20 square meters. In short, all the rooms in the house were very large. There was no other furniture except a 1.5-meter-wide bed, a small wardrobe, a desk and a chair, so it looked very empty. Even if Liduo practiced swordsmanship in it, it would not be a problem. It would not disturb others at all, and the privacy was also very good.
After practicing knife skills and washing up, Lido would go to the kitchen to make breakfast with her mother. After breakfast, Lido would stay at home to take care of Doli. Cleaning and washing the house were also Lido's jobs, and she also had to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Except for the few days at the beginning when Leisa accompanied her, all these jobs were handed over to Lido later. After all, these jobs were not difficult, and Lido had done them in her previous life. After finishing her work, Lido could also practice calligraphy while taking care of Doli, so that Doli could also be influenced by knowledge.
Doli is already over three years old, and he can talk and walk very well. Doli likes to follow Lido, and Lido likes this little brother very much. After all, who can refuse a cute, well-behaved human cub who calls you sister with a sweet smile every day? What's more, she is an old aunt whose mental age is already in her thirties (?′w`?) I will chop anyone who dares to hurt Doli! The violent old aunt is running wildly on the road of no return of brother control every day┐(─__─)┌
At noon, Leisa would come back and cook lunch with Lido. Because Lido didn't know some of the ingredients and didn't know how to prepare them, Leisa had to teach her. Some ingredients had to wait for Leisa to bring back. After all, there was a learning process, right? After lunch and an hour's nap, Lido would go to the fields with Ishizawa to learn, leaving Leisa at home to take care of Doli.
Usually, Shi Ze will talk about whatever he encounters, such as the names of the trees in front of and behind the house, the wild plants on the roadside, the small animals and insects he encounters, and what their functions or harms are. When walking on the road and passing some places, he will also tell Li Duo what precautions should be taken. When encountering different crops in the fields, he will tell Li Duo what they are, the purpose of each part, how to plant, how to pick, the time of planting and harvesting, what problems should be paid attention to during the planting process, etc. Li Duo will also experience farm work such as loosening the soil, fertilizing, weeding, and catching insects. Note that all of them are manual work, without machinery, pesticides, fertilizers, and other technological products. During the whole process, Shi Ze carried his broadsword on his back, and Li Duo also carried her wooden sword.
Leisa made dinner, and Ishizawa and Liduo just had to wait for them to eat. After all, doing farm work for an entire afternoon was quite tiring for a seven-year-old. Of course, she didn't have to go out to work every day, but when she wasn't working, Liduo would practice knife skills. Now eating one golden bell flower every day was not enough to satisfy Liduo's needs. Liduo was going to ask Leisa and Ishizawa for two golden bell flowers or some meat every day.
Liduo's family now eats meat three to five times a month, but there is no limit on staple food. In fact, there are only a few types of crops grown in Huangshi Village.
Except for some higher-level Star Language Flowers planted in the Yellowstone clan's private plots, all other magical plants are Golden Bell Flowers.
There are three main types of grain crops. One is a crop similar to the corn on the Blue Planet, which is called star corn here. When mature, it is not yellow but silver and very shiny, just like the stars in the night sky. It takes about five months from sowing to harvesting. It is the main grain crop here, with a high yield and good taste, like the sweet and sticky corn.
The other is a wheat-like crop, called black pearls. The bran is black and round. Like wheat, it can be ground into powder and made into various pasta. The entire planting period is six months. The yield is slightly lower than that of Star Valley, but it is easier to take care of during the planting process.
There is another kind that is similar to potatoes, but is much more frost-resistant. It is planted in the month before the winter snow and ice comes. After growing a few hard leaves close to the ground, it is buried deep in the snow for more than three months. After the snow melts, the leaves will grow rapidly. Then, it can be harvested in more than a month when spring comes and flowers bloom. It is called snow fruit. It looks like radish when eaten raw, and it looks like potato when cooked or roasted. The skin is very smooth, and it is preserved by seeds rather than buds. The temperature of snow fruit is very low, so it can be stored for a long time in a cool place.
There are only a few kinds of vegetable crops, such as green vegetables, radishes, peppers, garlic, kohlrabi, etc. I am too lazy to match their names one by one, so I will just call them according to the names of similar crops on the Blue Planet. But in fact, the taste and the parts that are eaten are still different.
The fruit trees are mostly apples, pears, persimmons, etc., but they are definitely not as delicious as those on Blue Star. They are all relatively primitive varieties, and at most they have been domesticated for two or three generations and then left alone. The cores are much larger than modern ones, and the sweetness is far less. But they are already very rare here.
Of course, just like Blue Star, the people of the Magic Continent also domesticated some animals for breeding. For example, Liduo's family raised two Gulu beasts that were killed for meat. In fact, they were black pigs. They were fed with Star Valley wrappers, Black Pearl bran, and the skin of snow fruit with some golden bell flower stems and leaves. But it seems that the people here don't know how to castrate pigs, so the meat has a bit of a strong smell. Liduo plans to castrate a male next year to try it out, but it's too difficult to castrate a female. In addition, the family also raised more than a dozen egg-laying broilers and a few roosters.
Most of the villagers raise livestock and poultry for meat or eggs, and only a few households raise wolfhounds to guard the house. However, the Huangshi tribe raises large livestock such as mules and horses for pulling carts and delivering goods. It is said that they also raise a pair of wildebeests, which are magical beasts! ! The daily fodder is the stems of golden bell flowers, which have a large appetite and are not affordable for ordinary villagers. The Huangshi tribe has to buy the stems and leaves of golden bell flowers from the villagers every year.
In Liduo's opinion, the planting technology of Huangshi Village is not sophisticated enough. There is no modern technology such as machinery, pesticides, and fertilizers, and there is no composting technology. How can the fertilizer produced by poultry and livestock be enough? What's more, the utilization rate is not high, and sometimes it is not used well. The reasonable spacing between plants has been barely figured out. In short, it was learned from the family with the highest harvest in the village, and it was passed down from generation to generation. If it weren't for the magic plant, the yield would be barely enough to eat. Whether it's a scholar or a warrior, everyone is a big eater.
Just like Liduo, who is only seven years old, has to eat a big bowl of rice for every meal, and now she has to eat two golden bell flowers every day to meet her body's needs. And Leisha and Ishizawa have to eat at least three big bowls of rice for every meal, and this is when their bodies have already reached adulthood and the intensity of their exercise is not high. During the busy farming season, they will also eat one golden bell flower every day depending on the situation.
The family has ten acres of land, and at most only a quarter of it is saved in a year. Usually, it is not sold outside. Only when the family has enough food for two years will the new food of the year be sold. Generally, the snow fruit is kept for their own consumption, and the star grain and black pearl are sold, which have a higher price.
Finally, Leisa and Ishizawa agreed that Liduo should eat two golden bell flowers every day. By the way, the golden bell flowers were directly steamed and eaten. The main reason was that the price of meat flowers was not much less than that of golden bell flowers. Although the family could also eat them, the absorption efficiency was not as good as that of golden bell flowers. The meat from the two Gulu beasts and the eggs from the flower-feathered chickens raised at home were all kept for their own consumption, so there should be no lack of nutrition. It was just that Liduo's exercise effect was really outstanding, and she consumed a lot of energy.
Liduo has planned to wait until Duoli turns five to start the same training, starting with a lower intensity and then gradually increasing it. Anyway, Duoli is enjoying watching Liduo write now. Liduo sometimes teaches him to read, so it is not impossible for him to learn to read in advance. Although Duoli's training effect is definitely worse than Liduo's, after a few years of doing this, when he is nine years old, his foundation will definitely be much more solid than that of other children. I just don't know if Duoli will still like Liduo as much as he does now (*^w^*)
After dinner, it is time for the villagers to gossip. Everyone will come to the square to chat and help digest their food. Now Liduo no longer squeezes into the crowd of adults to listen to gossip, but goes to connect with her friends, accept the admiration of her little fans, and chat together...
After spending an hour or so in the square, she would go home and practice the basics of knife skills and perception as usual, then meditate, sleep after meditation, and wake up the next day to start a new day. Liduo's daily life is so ordinary and fulfilling.
