Don't disturb my farming Chapter 67 True Dragon Subduing Technique
"This is such a sad thing..." Xiao Yun pinched his thigh as if he was dealing with an enemy, his facial muscles twitching, and he relied on his self-control that he was proud of to burst into laughter without saying a word, "Actually... if you are willing, our tribe is also willing to serve your father, Lord Austin..."
Oh my god, holding back the urge to fall is really more difficult than holding back the pain!
The sad Green Dragon Balk's eyes suddenly widened: "Aren't we friends?!" He slammed the table angrily, "He is my friend, how can he serve that bastard Austin!"
"Of course our friendship comes first." Xiao Yun immediately said in a serious tone, "From a friend's perspective, how can I watch you being bullied by Lord Austin and remain indifferent? It's just that our Snow Wolf tribe doesn't want to be enemies with our friends and your people, so we have no choice but to serve Lord Austin to prevent you from suffering more difficulties... Of course, this is all based on your wishes. As your friends, we won't do anything you don't want to do."
Balke was so moved that his nose was about to run - when in his life had he ever met such a kind person who cared so much about him!
"Don't pay any attention to that bastard Austin. No, it's best not to deal with him forever. He's the most hateful and bastard guy!" Balk grabbed Xiao Yun's hand and said sincerely, "Promise me that you will only be friends with me and ignore Austin, okay?"
...Xiao Yun got goosebumps all over the floor immediately. Do you think you are acting in a melodramatic soap opera about youth brotherhood?
He quickly pulled his hand out, but he couldn't scold him. He had to coax him in a gentle voice: "This is necessary. It's enough for us to know you." Damn, if another green dragon came at this time, he would vomit blood, unless one green dragon was not enough for him in the future. "The statue of the goddess that was stolen... It's really a pity that we only fired that one..."
The green dragon's eyes welled up with tears on the spot. This fellow was indeed still intent on stealing, and was planning to get it back from the Snow Wolf Tribe at the cost of his loss.
"As for jewelry...if there are still materials, we can make another batch." The molds are all ready-made, so we have to give this guy some sweet treats to let him know that the Snow Werewolf is better.
The green dragon waved his hands in a wronged and disdainful manner. A small pile of gold and silver ingots, as well as a box of pearls and gems, immediately appeared on the ground beside him. He complained forcefully, "That bastard Austin took away my jewelry and the goddess statue and left only these things. It's really too much!"
"..." Xiao Yun had a blank expression on his face. It seemed that your father, who was of a higher rank than you, did not exhaust all the resources and still left some capital for you.
"Were you followed by anyone on your way to our tribe?" Xiao Yun asked.
"No, I am not that stupid. I would never let that bastard Austin know where my jewelry came from." The green dragon said immediately, "I waited for him to leave for twenty days before leaving the castle. I flew to the northern ice field and took a tour before coming here."
"Well... after you take the new jewelry back, will Austin come to see you again?" Xiao Yun reminded kindly.
The Green Dragon's expression froze immediately - damn, he had never considered this!
"It's hard for me not to think so... The materials that Austin gave you are twice as much as the materials used in the previous batch of jewelry. Could it be that... he wants you to help him make them into jewelry and then take them back?" Xiao Yun really felt a little sympathetic for this guy this time.
"This... I..." The Green Dragon's eyes were filled with tears again, and he felt as aggrieved as a child weighing more than 100 kilograms or more than 100 tons.
"As a friend, I think I should suggest that you consider leaving home for a while, at least to make Austin give up, so that your property can be safe." Xiao Yun said uprightly.
"Yes, that's right!" The green dragon's eyes lit up and he burst into laughter (……), then he froze again, "Then where should I go?"
Xiao Yun raised his head and chest, patting his chest with a particularly righteous expression: "As your friend, of course we have the obligation to host you and stay here. It's our duty!"
Green Dragon was moved to tears again and grabbed Xiao Yun's hand: "——You are so good to me!"
… Xiao Yun's goosebumps covered the ground again. Damn it! If I couldn't beat you, do you believe that this big wooden table would hit your face? !
After planting wheat, the next priority was to reclaim dry land in the drier area southeast of the tribe. After a busy day, the tribesmen returned to the tribe in the evening. The first thing they saw... was the green dragon that appeared in the mill in the square, pushing the mill with one hand.
The tribesmen were so shocked that they thought there was something wrong with their eyes, and they all raised their hands to rub their eyes...
"Everyone is back?" Xiao Yun waved to the stunned people in the square, "Our friend Green Dragon Lord Balk will stay in our tribe for a while. In order to welcome our old friend Balk, everyone will have delicious food tonight!"
"Oh oh oh!!" Everyone became happy when they heard there was something delicious to eat.
"My people welcome you very much." Xiao Yun said with a smile to the green dragon who was pushing the mill with one hand, making it turn rapidly.
Green Dragon Balk, for the first time in his life, found himself to be welcomed. His face turned a little red and he felt a little embarrassed. He quietly turned his face away and didn't react. In fact, this welcome was a substitution of the concept for someone else.
After washing and soaking, the soybean oil was removed and the bean smell was greatly reduced. Xiao Yun used the excuse of making something delicious to bring over the soybeans that were soaked in wool to prepare for bean sprouts, and asked Green Dragon to find a way to dry them... Normally, it would take at least a few days to completely dry the soybeans. The Green Dragon's unscientific magic could actually extract the moisture directly from the substance, completing the moisture separation of the defatted soybeans in one second.
Confirming once again that the magically powerful Green Dragon was indeed a treasure worth digging for, Xiao Yun happily prepared delicious food for people and in the process slowly educated and changed the Green Dragon's bad habit of taking advantage: letting him personally participate in the production project and experience the charm of creation.
It is not easy to process defatted soybeans into delicious and nutritious soy powder. First, the soybeans must be crushed with a stone mill, and the larger seed coat particles must be sieved out with a sieve. The sieved powder must then be ground further to reach a particle size of 5 to 10 microns. This delicate work cannot be done with a stone mill and must be accomplished by unscientific magic.
After explaining the needs, Balk thought for a while... and used material mimicry magic to create a three-dimensional rotating magic mill made of magic power to grind the powdered bean powder into finer particles again.
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. The so-called material mimicry magic refers to using magic to simulate the structure of an object made of a certain substance. This stupid dragon only knew how to use this magic to conjure ropes to tie people up, but Xiao Yun discovered that this skill can be used to simulate substances with specific components for use in a variety of fields. For example, it forced him to construct a plow structure diagram and figure out the metal compression resistance of components. It was completely an engineer's magical skill and a heaven-defying plug-in!
After wiping his saliva, Xiao Yun suppressed the urge to whip this guy and force him to burn himself for the tribe. He patiently flattered him and created motivation for his growth, cultivating his awareness of taking the initiative step by step... If he was forced too hard, he would flap his wings and fly away, which would be a big loss. Be patient! Be patient!
The soybean powder, which was completely crushed into micron-sized powder, had a dimensional improvement in both appearance and taste. Xiao Yun asked Balke to pinch a small handful to taste it. Balke dipped his finger in it to try it, and his eyes immediately widened... It would be strange if he was not shocked. Micron-sized soybean powder has the highest protein content and yield. The snack "Lu Da Gun" from Xiao Yun's hometown is made by wrapping cooked dry glutinous rice balls with soybean powder, which is countless times more delicious than eating glutinous rice balls alone.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes have not been harvested on a large scale yet, and without starch, jelly cannot be made. But with bean flour, there are so many delicious things that can be made. Bean flour glutinous rice balls (the filling of the glutinous rice balls is mainly made of spring wild fruits and elm seeds) is one of them; bean flour is mixed evenly with wheat flour that has been ground into fine particles, and then melted butter is added and mixed until the surface is smooth and delicate. Brush an iron pan with oil and bake the bean flour on low heat into a thin pancake. Use it to wrap fried vegetables, cold dishes, pickles, shredded meat, etc., roll it into a tube, and it will be a delicious self-service wrap.
The dinner that day was unique. Ten people sat at a table in the open square. In the middle of the open space, iron pots and clay pots were filled with equal amounts of stir-fried vegetables, pickles, shredded meat, elm seeds and bean sprouts mixed with vinegar and a little chili. While eating the sweet and lingering bean flour dumplings, people used public chopsticks to pick up vegetables and wrap them in rolls. After wrapping the rolls, they used a public spoon to scoop rich and hot bone soup into them. They opened their mouths and took a bite - it was so comfortable ~
"Thanks to our friend Balke for helping us grind such fine bean flour and wheat flour, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious wraps." Xiao Yun said with a smile to the tribesmen sitting at the same table.
"Hmmmm!" Everyone was so busy eating that they didn't want to concentrate on talking. They only had time to use their crescent-shaped eyes to express their affection for the green dragon Balk.
Xiao Yun turned to look at Balke with an expression of "that's what I said". Hmm... this guy, who probably no one has ever truly liked since he was a child, blushed again and turned his face away embarrassedly.
The last three items in Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs, can also be applied to non-humans~
If you are lacking love, I will give it to you, ...!
That night, Xiao Yun asked four caracal cubs with great healing effects to sleep with Balke (...). The four cats who liked to transform back into animal form when sleeping lay down next to Balke. The green dragon, who was a little disgusted with the snow wolf tribe's big bunk bed at first, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pet the cat... Xiao Yun himself couldn't resist the urge to pet this big, fluffy cat, so he didn't believe that it was stronger than himself!
The next day, Xiao Yun temporarily put aside the pile of work at hand, pulled Green Dragon to squeeze fresh milk, beat cream, go to the river bank to pick up bird eggs, and use the soybean flour and wheat flour ground into micron chicken to bake cakes and snacks in the earthen kiln - the final food is important, but the process of making food with close friends is more important! It is even more important for others to eat the food you make and highly recognize your labor! The more the mothers who are responsible for housework and cooking are praised, the more they like to cook and the more delicious the dishes they make. That's the reason~
After spending a few days with the green dragon, Xiao Yun helped it adapt to life in the tribe and gradually made it understand that people who work hard, contribute and create are more popular. Xiao Yun felt that it was almost done, so he brought the green dragon to the work meeting. We should live together in a democratic and equal way. The goblins all have a role to play, and of course the green dragon has one too.
The friendly and harmonious atmosphere of the Snow Wolf tribe's tribal meeting opened the green dragon's eyes. It turned out that other tribes were so beautiful when making a decision... Compared with the style of the Dragon Tribe, where the elders unconditionally suppressed the younger generations, the peers fought to decide who to listen to, and often engaged in physical fights, the gap was simply too big!
It's not easy to fool someone one-on-one, because others will be vigilant, so scammers usually work in groups... No, so the most efficient way to persuade someone is by a group of people. Influenced by the meeting atmosphere of the Snow Wolf Tribe, this stupid dragon who had lacked love since childhood joined the team of warriors to search the wild beasts' nests in a daze - there was no coercion, inducement, no forced induction, it was completely spontaneous!
Leaving the green dragon to the silly and cute warriors to be influenced by love for the time being, Xiao Yun turned around and busy himself with the work that had been left.
The dry land for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes has been reclaimed and the plants have been transplanted and planted, and the experimental fields for growing wild ginger and wild taro have also been completed... The former has some experience provided by Prince Carlisle, but the latter is something that no one has ever grown, so they can only do it by trial and error.
The seedling cultivation and planting of sweet potatoes have been mentioned before. Potatoes are similar. Cut the potatoes into pieces according to their own buds and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry. When there is no obvious moisture on the seeds with buds, they can be moved to the fields for planting.
Both of them require a large amount of base fertilizer. For every acre of sweet potato field, about 700 kilograms of soil fertilizer mixed with water should be applied (I think I wrote the word "sweet potato" wrongly before_(:з」∠)_), and for potato field, about 500 kilograms of soil fertilizer mixed with water should be applied. It is not enough, otherwise the starch content of the crops will be affected and they will not grow well.
Regarding the details of fertilization, potatoes can only be fertilized in furrows, that is, fertilizer is applied between ridges at a certain distance from the sowing point, and furrows are dug to apply soil fertilizer into them. If the potato pieces come into contact with the fertilizer, they will easily be burned.
The operation of inter-row cultivation and weeding in the early stage of potato growth is similar to the deep inter-row cultivation method to solve the problem of vigorous growth of wheat. At the same time as weeding, soiling should be carried out, and the turned over soil should be covered on the roots of the crops to increase the soil at the roots to facilitate drainage. Inter-row cultivation should be carried out once about twenty days after sowing, and the second inter-row cultivation and soiling should be carried out when the seedlings are 15 to 18 cm tall. The third soiling should be carried out one month after emergence and at the beginning of flowering, and topdressing should be carried out.
The amount of fertilizer applied to wild ginger should refer to that applied to potatoes. The sprouted ginger should be cut into pieces according to the sprouts and buried in the ground. As for wild taro... Xiao Yun really didn't understand this thing. He didn't dare to cut a piece of wild taro that was so small that it only sprouted one. He just planted it with the sprouted side facing up. The amount of fertilizer applied should also refer to that applied to potatoes.
In addition to these, the next most important thing is the planting of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The chili seeds and Sichuan peppercorns among the spice samples brought by Carlisle can be used for planting, and of course they must be utilized.
Xiao Yun has planted peppers in flower pots. This plant is easy to grow. It is sown in spring when the temperature is around 20 degrees. Soak the seeds in water overnight before sowing, and spread them in the seedbed the next day for seedling cultivation (any container that can hold soil and is water-permeable and breathable, such as small ceramic pots, simple wooden seedbeds with grids, etc. The soil for the seedbed is compost soil mixed with a small amount of wood ash and mud and sand). Cover with a thin layer of soil about three centimeters thick, water thoroughly to keep the soil in the seedbed warm and moist, and place it in a ventilated, warm and bright place. It will take root and sprout in about one to two weeks.
After the pepper seedlings break through the soil, they should be exposed to sunlight only in the morning and evening. Move them back indoors before the sun rises, and avoid the seedlings when watering to prevent them from falling over. When the seedlings grow more than four leaves, they can be transplanted into the field soil. After the field is cultivated, a layer of base fertilizer is sprinkled on the ridges. The amount of base fertilizer is similar to that of wheat. Water the seedbed in the morning and plant in the afternoon. Move the seedlings and the soil in the seedbed to the ridges. The row spacing of the pepper ridges is 60 to 70 cm, the plant spacing is 50 to 60 cm, and one seedling is left in each hole. Pay attention to the drainage of the field to prevent the seedlings from rotting roots and stems.
After that, just pay attention to field management... pinch off the non-flowering branches, water in the morning and evening during the growing season, apply soil fertilizer mixed with water every ten days during the growing period, and after more than two months, the peppers that have grown and matured can be harvested continuously.
Sichuan pepper is easier to grow. The seeds are soaked in alkaline water extracted from wood ash and the oil on the outer skin is removed (they will not germinate if this layer of oil is not removed). Then they are sown in the seedbed like chili peppers. After germination, they are raised for about ten days. Once the seedlings are strong, they can be transplanted into the fields. Mature Sichuan pepper grows into a tree shape and cannot be planted too densely. Room for ventilation and light must be left.
The field management of Sichuan pepper fields is relatively easy and simple compared to that of hot peppers. There is no need to water them frequently. Just water them thoroughly once the soil is dry. Frequent watering will cause the roots to rot.
Fertilization does not need to be done frequently. Just apply base fertilizer once when the plants are planted in the field, once when the fruits are ripe, and once again before winter.
After finishing the sowing in a busy manner, the green dragon, who had been with the Snow Wolf Warriors for half a month, had also gotten used to the life in the Snow Wolf Tribe and was completely happy with it...
This guy's daily consumption is actually similar to that of a snow werewolf. If he doesn't turn into a dragon and fly around, his consumption is not that great. Normally, this guy can live on his own and just eat one meal to be full for several days. Anyway, his body structure is unscientific, so there is plenty of room for food. Now he is used to eating three meals a day, and his food intake has dropped to the standard of an adult snow werewolf. It is not too difficult to feed him.
He gets to eat fresh and delicious food every day, and a bunch of silly and cute snow werewolves respond to whatever he does with "so cool" or "so awesome". No one looks at him from head to toe with disdain or measuring eyes, and no one gives him the cold shoulder like a robber. Balk, who doesn't have any M tendencies, wishes he were a snow werewolf too, so he could have never met such a terrible father...
Xiao Yun carefully observed the reaction of this guy and saw that his happy mood had almost reached the critical point and his growth value was limited. His specific reaction changed from eating whatever was given to starting to express his desire to eat a certain type of food and the number of times he expressed it was more than three times. The next step of training had to be started.
Well...only the lowest-grade training will use pain as a selling point. What does it mean to be happy and in pain? Is pain the key point? Happiness is the key point, brother. Making people feel unprecedented happiness, upgrading the level of pleasure, and satisfying their needs are the key projects in training. Only by using this kind of pleasure that others cannot provide as a carrot can others gradually break down their psychological defenses and trust you unconditionally. Whipping and dripping wax can only deal with gentlemen with M tendencies, so save your time for other things.
Strictly speaking, the Green Dragon Balk is the first training target that Xiao Yun needs to focus all his energy on after coming to this world. Tribesmen, grassroots, Carlisle, these are too unchallenging. Xiao Yun hasn't even put in any effort and they've already kneeled down. Is that interesting or not?
"Balke, how are you getting along with everyone during this period?"
In the "guest room" exclusively for the green dragon, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on a blanket, smiling at Balk, who was lying on the kang with a caracal cub in his arms and a look of comfort on his face.
"It's OK." Balk replied casually, but he seemed to feel something was wrong after he blurted it out, so he added, "I think we get along well."
If this guy hadn't added the second half of the sentence, Xiao Yun would have had to find something for him to do, so that he could suffer some minor hardships to help him rebuild his mentality; adding the second half of the sentence showed that this guy could still be saved, and he knew how to reflect on his impolite attitude towards others - that's why Xiao Yun sent him to hang out with the silly and cute warriors. His personality is quite annoying, and even the gray dwarves might not be able to accept it... An inappropriate analogy here is that if Yang Guo was sent to be friends with Guo Fu, Da Wu, and Xiao Wu, it would be impossible for the two parties to get along.
The most effective way to correct an undisciplined kid is to give him a beating, but since you really can't beat this kid... then you can only take a roundabout way let this kid hang out with the silly and cute big dog, so that he can see how others are not annoying.
The Snow Wolf Warriors, who don't even know how to write the word "scheming", are very suitable for this job...
Since this guy has behaved relatively well, the next step is to let him learn to "be nice to others proactively and consciously" - to get a person who lives in a confused and muddled state back on track, to have someone he cares about or wants to be noticed by, is also a way. The same logic applies to "a mother is strong", the power of idols/role models, and some men who are willing to endure any hardship to make money after having children or marrying a beloved woman, etc.
Uh... there is a difference between "being nice to others" and "pleasing others". The former is a sign of good interpersonal skills, while the latter is a mental illness that requires relief and treatment.
So Xiao Yun smiled mysteriously and nodded, "Everyone likes you very much, and I hope you enjoy dealing with them. If you feel uncomfortable getting along with someone, tell me in advance and we can work together to find a way to solve this problem."
Balke couldn't help but curl up his lips. Xiao Yun's "unconditional good for him" approach fully satisfied his self-esteem. Without thinking, he said, "Don't worry. I, Balke, am not the kind of person who can't tolerate even the slightest thing."
This guy didn't realize that the relationship between Xiao Yun and him had gradually changed from "peers" to Xiao Yun being in the position of an "elder" who was taking care of him...
Xiao Yun's smile was particularly kind, and his attitude was just a little more advanced than coaxing a child: "The soldiers are often running around outside and are very tired. After you came, even if I tried my best to replenish sugar for everyone, we could only eat sweet fruit-filled dumplings occasionally. After all, sweet things are too difficult to find. Now the alfalfa in our tribe is blooming, attracting some bees that collect pollen. I was thinking, why don't we build a few beehives to attract these bees, so that we can have honey to eat, right?"
Balk's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly picked up the snoring caracal cub lying on his stomach, gently moved it to the side, and sat up straight: "What should we do?"
Xiao Yun put his finger to his lips and made a "hush" sound. He looked at the cubs who were sleeping soundly, signaling Balk not to wake them up. He lowered his voice and said, "...I don't know if we can get honey by doing this, but there's no harm in trying. However, if we let everyone know early that we are trying to get honey, it will make everyone even more disappointed if we fail in the end. You see, why don't we do it secretly and build a beehive in the most remote place in the alfalfa field without letting others know? If we can get honey, we can give everyone a surprise. If not, no one will know anyway, so they won't be disappointed or sad."
If you want to get closer to someone, it’s a good habit to use “we” when talking.
"Okay, okay." Balke rubbed his hands excitedly, more eager than Xiao Yun.
"Then let's wait until the second half of the night when everyone else is asleep and then sneak out..." Xiao Yun chuckled, "In fact, I have already prepared the planks and nails, and I'm hiding them behind the warehouse where the farm tools are stored. The others are all big mouths and don't know how to keep a secret, but luckily you're here, so we can do it together."
Balk also laughed foolishly... After all, he was young... Uh, Long, who doesn't like to avoid others and secretly "do big things" and surprise others after success! It's really cool!
"Then you go to sleep for a while, I'll come to find you quietly later." Xiao Yun waved his hand with a smile, got off the kang and went back to the room, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
What is the best way to speed up the friendship between elementary school students? Of course, skipping classes and hanging out in the online game hall together is the best way. A thousand-year-old green dragon is equivalent to a young boy in his twenties in human age. He has met few people and interacted with even fewer people. His social experience is close to or even worse than that of some elementary school students. Excluding the shortcut of really being unable to beat him up, it would only take a little more effort to change his temper!
