Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 56: Both Literary and Martial
"Third brother, I killed a wild boar over there, and you killed four wild boars by yourself, and not a single one got away."

Fang Ping had long since accepted the fact that his third brother was extraordinary, but he still felt very proud.

Not to mention Zheng Hu and others, each of them looked at Fang Wei with eyes full of admiration and respect.

The other party killed four wild boars by himself in a short period of time, which even the old hunters in the mountains could not do.

"Everyone, hurry up and carry the wild boar down the mountain. The strong smell of blood might attract wild animals."

Fang Wei did not relax and immediately asked everyone to start cleaning up the battlefield.

In addition to the two brothers, there were 12 people including Zheng Hu.

With strength in numbers, they soon carried the five wild boars and set off on their journey home.

Fang Wei quietly revoked the temporarily designated [hunting area]. This place was too far deep in the mountains and it was not easy to come here.

afternoon.

When the group was halfway through their journey, they all felt dizzy and dizzy from hunger.

"Rest here for a while. Deng Yuanen, take people to that direction to find water. Big brother, let's eat something."

Because they were going out to hunt wild boars, no one knew how long it would take, so everyone brought some food with them.

Afterwards, Deng Yuanen and his team brought back some water. Everyone drank a few sips of water and ate some dry food before setting off again.

When we returned to the village, the sun had already set.

[Harvest prey, points +800, total points: 5001 points]

"Little scholar, you are truly a man of both literary and martial talents. Fang Ping, you brothers have done a great job hunting wild boars. I will give you three small wild boars. Is that all right with you?"

A total of five wild boars, two large and three small, were carried into the village, which immediately caused a sensation.

Zheng Bao and other militiamen felt ashamed when they saw this scene.

Especially those guys who were patrolling last night. Although they fired their guns, no one knew where the bullets flew to. They didn't even touch the wild boar's hair.

As a result, Fang Wei and Fang Ping, along with a group of young boys, managed to kill the entire litter of wild boars.

Great!

All the members gathered in the threshing ground. Zheng Xianfa discussed with several team leaders and decided on the distribution plan.

According to Zheng Hu and others, the person who made the greatest contribution to the wild boar hunting in the mountains this time was Fang Wei. He shot and killed four wild boars alone, including boars and sows.

The remaining wild boar was shot by Fang Ping, while Zheng Hu and others only acted as porters.

Fang Wei and his elder brother didn't refuse. They had taken a considerable risk in going up the mountain to hunt wild boars. Since it was the team's decision, there was no need for them to be polite.

With the help of Zheng Hu and others, the two brothers sent the three little wild boars back home.

"Huzi, tell the people who are going up the mountain today to come to my house to eat meat tonight."

The remaining two wild boars will be distributed to all members of Team 2.

Zheng Hu and others could get a little more, but it was limited, so Fang Wei decided to give them some compensation.

Later, Fang Ping helped Tian Guihua deal with a little wild boar and set up a big pot directly in the yard.

The fire was burning very fiercely, and the bones and meat were tumbling in the pot. When seasonings and spices were added, the aroma of the meat quickly wafted out.

Wait until it’s almost cooked before adding the radish, it tastes delicious.

Wild boar meat is relatively tough and needs to be stewed for a long time. By the time everyone gets to eat the meat, it is already completely dark.

Fang Wei asked Deng Yuanen to check in advance and called Chongyang and Wu Maosheng over. These days it is rare for everyone to eat meat, so after eating, everyone felt satisfied.

Then, everyone worked together under the lights at night to deal with all the remaining wild boars.

"Little brother, with so much wild boar meat, how about making bacon?"

They are called little wild boars, and the three of them together weigh about 300 pounds.

At most they ate half a pig in the evening, and there was so much meat left that it would take more than a day or two to finish it. Tian Guihua asked Fang Wei what he thought.

Unknowingly, Fang Wei became the person in charge of the Fang family, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

"Brother, send some meat to your father-in-law, father, and second sister tomorrow, and leave some fresh meat for the next two days. You can handle the rest."

There is still some bacon at home, but there is no need to keep too much.

Fang Wei knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law were reluctant to ask for help, so he offered to send some to the relatives and eat the rest as soon as possible. If they couldn't finish it, they could make bacon. "My little brother is so thoughtful!"

Tian Guihua was very happy, and Fang Ping also felt proud.

the village.

Everyone got a share of the meat, and the prestige of the Fang brothers in the second team was further enhanced. Even Aunt Hua had to put on a smile when she saw them, otherwise she was afraid of being criticized.

after a few days.

Fang Ping's father-in-law sent a basket of duck eggs, and his second sister and brother-in-law took the time to come to the village and gave the Fang brothers a jar of sweet potato wine.

It is said that this jar of wine has been preserved for three years, and no one knows where Fang Wei's second brother-in-law got it from.

In the blink of an eye, it is time for summer harvest.

Fang Ping and Tian Guihua both started to get busy, but Fang Wei was relatively free.

Members of the "breeding group" do not participate in the team's harvesting work. He fiddles with his private plot every day and goes to the mountains from time to time, and he is quite happy.

After the summer harvest, Fang Wei will also start planting late rice.

So he spent 5000 points and upgraded the [Planting Area] to level 7.

[Owned (temporary) land] → [Farmland] → [Planting area]

【Area: 20000 square meters】

[Area Level: (Level 7, 0\10000)]

[Regional attributes: drought resistance, flood resistance, disease and pest resistance, accelerated growth, increased production and income]

[Planting in this area will increase all attributes by an additional 70%]

[Total points: 1]

After the upgrade, the planting area reached 2 square meters, which is about 30 acres.

Fang Wei planned to discuss with the team and expand the experimental field to 10 mu, of which 5 mu would be planted with the next generation of indica rice and the other 5 mu would be planted with [Nongken 58] japonica rice.

After generations of screening, the seeds of these two types of rice will have a significant increase in yield.

He planned to plant glutinous rice on his own one-mu private plot.

Glutinous rice occupies a very important position in the local people’s diet. They didn’t plant it last year, so this year is just the right time to make up for it.

Thanks to the efforts of the members, the summer harvest was successfully completed.

According to statistics, this year's early rice yield per mu reached 162 kilograms, which is a very good result.

But Zheng Xianfa couldn't be happy. Whenever he thought of the experimental field's yield of 325 kilograms per mu, a mixture of emotions would well up in his heart.

This also strengthened his choice, and he used rice seeds cultivated by Fang Wei for all late rice.

Every household received food rations, and they were more enthusiastic about the subsequent summer planting work.

Before Fang Wei could go find Zheng Xianfa, Zheng Xianfa took the initiative to find him:

"Little Scholar, how about giving you another 15 mu of experimental land? I still say the same thing here. If you need supplies, we will provide supplies. If you need manpower, we will provide manpower. The team will definitely support you with all its strength."

Fang Wei originally wanted to add another 5 mu of experimental land, but he didn't expect Zheng Xianfa to directly give 15 mu.

Why would I refuse? Yes, I must.

"Thank you, Captain. I will definitely manage the 20 mu of experimental fields well."

A total of 20 acres of experimental fields were connected together, and the number of members of the "breeding team" increased to 16 people.

Zheng Xianfa's support is not just slogans, but real actions, providing people and supplies.

No blank shots.

Next, the team and the experimental field started germination, sowing and raising seedlings, and the summer planting work kicked off in full swing.

And everyone sowed hope again.

Given the good performance of the experimental fields last season, everyone’s expectations for the second-season rice were high.
