Becoming a god starting from the weasel

Seeing that Chen Yang finally asked him, Niu Shan, who had been waiting patiently without daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he hurriedly knelt down before Chen Yang and said, "Great Immortal, regarding the rice you mentioned, Niushan has completed all preparations."

"But as you said before, hybrid rice alone is not enough; there is still one thing missing. Please enlighten me, Master."

When Chen Yang saw Niu Shan asking about this, he couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that the area down the mountain would have to prepare for increased production next year.

While pinching the little face of the stone slab, he said to Niu Shan, "Besides the rice itself, just like people need to eat rice and meat to grow up."

"And what I'm about to talk about is the 'food and meat' that this rice needs to 'eat'."

Hybrid rice is like a child with excellent genes, but if it wants to grow up to be far superior to its peers and realize its potential, it naturally needs a lot of energy.

In my past life, I had access to various fertilizers, so I could easily achieve breakthroughs in increasing production. Although I don't have those in this life, there are other ways to replace them.

There are many varieties of hybrid rice. Some are specifically designed to increase yield, so they have a poor taste and are barely enough to fill an empty stomach.

Before the time travel, the rice consumed in China was no longer this variety, but a rice with a superior taste and flavor.

Furthermore, different regions produce different types of rice. For example, Chen Yang's favorite rice in his previous life was Northeastern rice and Thai jasmine rice.

However, when people like Niu Shan are struggling to get enough to eat, they don't care about the taste.

The three main elements most needed for increasing rice production are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and these three can be obtained through other means.

For example, nitrogen fertilizer, which is in the greatest demand, expands the base number of grains per ear.

Phosphorus ensures the development of grains in the ear, allowing each ear to produce more grains.

Potassium and silicon help prevent lodging and increase grain weight.

Each type of fertilizer has its own function. Fortunately, for example, human and livestock manure, after being composted, mainly contains nitrogen fertilizer and various other elements, so it is sufficient to provide three main ways to obtain fertilizer.

"When you get back, you can collect all the excrement and filth from the entire village, including that of the livestock."

"Remember to use my method and let it ferment for a sufficient number of days before sowing it in the field, otherwise you will ruin all the rice in the field."

"If there is time in the future, we can plant some early-maturing beans. After harvesting all their stems, we can turn them back into the ground."

"Then, after the rice harvest each year, you can burn all the straw and other stalks in the field, and mix them with some... that's all, do you remember that?"

Chen Yang spoke at length for about fifteen minutes, doing almost the entire talking while Niu Shan listened respectfully.

Chen Yang stopped talking when he got tired, just as the stone stool in his arms started to rumble because it was hungry.

Niu Shan nodded with a simple smile, took out some goat milk, took it from Shi Dun and began feeding the child, then respectfully said, "Thank you for your guidance, Great Immortal. I've almost remembered it."

For more than a year, Niu Shan had been working almost entirely in the fields, thinking and researching every day. When he saw Chen Yang in the ground, he could make some connections, so he had already made some deductions.

Learning through practice is the fastest way to get started, so when Niu Shan said he had taken notes, he really had.

After the stone stub settled down, Chen Yang placed it inside the Taoist temple. Then, Niu Shan began to introduce the various things he had brought to Chen Yang.

Aside from all sorts of strange and unusual items, there was a brand-new set of exquisite farm tools, even more complete than before. Niu Shan even brought Chen Yang a sieve, a small production tool.

Chen Yang was also satisfied. Being able to afford so many things meant that life in Niushan had indeed improved.

Furthermore, he could sense the changes occurring in Niu Shan.

After giving his lengthy introduction, Niu Shan exclaimed, "Thanks to the great immortal's guidance, otherwise I would never have been able to live such a life."

Niu Shan is very satisfied with his current life and is even more motivated.

Chen Yang could also sense the change in his mindset, but he did not intend to interfere in any way.

Firstly, Niu Shan's fortune has improved considerably. Although it can be explored, there is still room for improvement. The more one observes, the more relevant it becomes to oneself.

Chen Yang doesn't want to get too involved with people like Niu Shan, whose fate is becoming increasingly sealed.

He only needs to offer some guidance from the rear; as for other things, they are none of his concern, and he can't manage those matters now.

Chen Yang then instructed, "I have passed on the technique to you; as for the rest, that is up to your own destiny."

Hearing Chen Yang's somewhat meaningful words, Niu Shan was a little confused, but still respectfully accepted them: "Thank you for your guidance, Great Immortal."

Seeing that the sun was already high in the sky, Niu Shan knew he should prepare to descend the mountain. He then asked Chen Yang, "Is there anything the Great Immortal needs from me?"

Niu Shan knelt respectfully before Chen Yang and asked him questions with great sincerity.

After a moment's thought, Chen Yang asked, "Niu Shan, you know something about carpentry, right?"

Hearing Chen Yang's question, Niu Shan didn't understand, but still nodded and said, "Yes, Great Immortal."

"However, I've been working in the fields for over a year, so my skills have become a bit rusty."

Niu Shan scratched the back of his head and told the truth.

Chen Yang wasn't concerned about that, and then asked, "Given the state of the temple, how many materials would be needed for repairs?"

Seeing Chen Yang pointing to the broken tiles on the eaves and the peeling paint on the walls, Niu Shan also began to ponder, and then said:

"If the master wants to repair it, just patch up the tiles and fill the gaps in the wall with some plaster."

Although Niu Shan had never built such a house for himself, he had helped with the construction and probably knew a little about it.

Then Niu Shan realized the purpose of Chen Yang's inquiry and tentatively asked, "Does the Great Immortal wish to renovate this blessed land?"

Chen Yang nodded: "That's exactly right."

Upon hearing this, Niu Shan's eyes lit up instantly: "Then, Great Immortal, would you like me to bring people to repair it?"

Niu Shan became more and more excited as he spoke. After all, if he could repair the blessed land and temple for the Great Immortal, wouldn't that mean that his family would be blessed by the Great Immortal for generations to come?

Seeing Niu Shan's somewhat agitated appearance, Chen Yang simply waved his hand to calm him down: "I don't want too many people coming to this place."

"You just need to leave the necessary materials and blueprints somewhere in the mountains, and I will retrieve them later."

Chen Yang didn't want too many people to know the location of the Taoist temple, and there were bound to be some people with bad intentions.

Although Niu Shan had been somewhat abrupt and offensive, he could sense that Niu Shan's heart was not bad, though others did not know that.

Upon hearing this, Niu Shan realized he had crossed a line, just like Da Gou and the others had done to him. He quickly kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "Great Immortal, please forgive me!"

Niu Shan only got up after Chen Yang said "It's nothing" three times.

Then Niu Shan said, "Great Immortal, there is a dead old tree on the way up the mountain, and the area below it is very flat."

"I'll put everything there when I get there, and then ask an old carpenter to design a rough plan. What do you think?"

Seeing that Niu Shan had finally suggested a method that wasn't too offensive, Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

Niu Shan then nodded. Among the things he gave Chen Yang were an ink line and a measuring ruler, so Niu Shan began to measure them on the spot.

Finally, they found a wooden board, and Chen Yang personally used his spiritual power to carve all the dimensions of the house onto it before Niu Shan left the mountain.

On the mountain path, Niu Shan looked at the wooden plank in his hand, still feeling a little apprehensive. Fortunately, the immortal had not held his presumptuous words against him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived with just these methods.

Only immortals could accomplish such feats. He had heard of the martial artists in the town, but he had never seen anyone as composed as a great immortal.

The more Niu Shan thought about it, the more alarmed he became. He also secretly warned himself that he and Da Gou could show off their power, but they absolutely could not in front of the Great Immortal.

After reflecting on his actions, Niu Shan was also happy, since the immortal was willing to let him handle this matter, which meant that the immortal trusted him.

Just as he only entrusts certain tasks to Big Dog and Third Brother, he also has to be a good "Big Dog" to the Immortal.

Niu Shan then decided that he would invest most of his harvest this year into this matter, and do it well and beautifully, so as not to fail the great immortal's kindness.
