Dragon God, immortal

Both legumes are good at talking…

The following is Shushan’s communication with them:

Tree Hill: Increased number of blossoms!

Fat beans: No problem, one branch has six clusters, and one cluster has six flowers.

Shushan: The roots and stems should grow stronger!

Feidou: No problem, it won’t fall over.

Shushan: Uh, the growth rate is accelerating!

Fat Bean: No problem, my leaves are very big.

Shushan: Do you have any requirements? If not, that's it.

Alfalfa: Wait wait, I have a request!

Shushan: Speak!

Alfalfa: Is there any water?

Shushan: Yes!

Alfalfa: I want groundwater, lots of groundwater that won’t drown the root system!

Shushan: OK!

Fat Bean/Alfalfa: Okay, no problem.

that's all.

Both of these beans are old forage grasses on the grassland. They have strong vitality and the ability to avoid various disasters. They are tenacious natural veterans.

After the tree mountain fully meets their needs, they become crops for domesticated farmers... Well, in short, everyone gets what they need...

"Fat beans are a bit like a hybrid of soybeans (edamame) and broad beans, but the leaves are relatively thick. The maximum height of the plant is two meters, and it can be planted twice a year." Shushan looked at the crops on the left and nodded with satisfaction... This thing can solve most of the problems of corn if intercropped with No. 5 corn.

And the one that Shushan named alfalfa...

It’s hard to say. It’s really hard to say.

This guy has the tenacity of barnyard grass, and its roots are intertwined with each other. No matter how densely they are planted, the yield will not be reduced. It is indeed a high-quality forage grass, but it rejects surrounding plants and has high requirements for fresh water. When watering, the roots cannot be submerged, otherwise the roots will rot directly...

Like barnyard grass, it has the style of a malignant weed. Does this mean that malignant weeds are the choice of the future?

Shushan lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that species with strong vitality should be the direction of future cultivation.

Put down your claws and stop the magic you are performing.

This training has officially been successful!

"Lord Shushan, the harvest is complete." Jinju walked up to Shushan and reported.

"Very good, the technique of intercropping corn and beans can be taught to the Watchers! Then... um..." Shushan looked at the two large basins that had been classified, "For future field planning, we will plant 200 acres of corn and beans, and reclaim another 100 acres to plant alfalfa and oats."

"Yes, sir. But the cattle and sheep on the island can't consume so much feed. The extra alfalfa..." Kumquat asked after thinking for a while.

"I eat."

"understood."

Jinju nodded to show that he understood. Alfalfa is not only fodder for cattle and sheep, but also the main vegetable for the Watchers. And judging from Lord Shushan's slightly raised tail... he should like this vegetable very much as well.

Yes, that's right. According to Mr. Shushan, alfalfa, as a legume, is rich in protein, amino acids, and most of the nutrients needed by the human body. It is a very good crop.

Cat people can only use alfalfa as a vegetable supplement...

But Shushan can use it as a staple food!

This is a perennial herb. It can be harvested three or four times a year. It can be harvested for several years. It tastes great! It is delicious when dried and eaten with silage corn!

Um, by the way, the cattle and sheep on Tegenkyu Island also feed on silage corn and dried alfalfa, the same as what Shushan eats... It's a special preference of herbivores...

"By the way, Lord Shushan, I also want to go back to the tribe for a vacation during the winter solstice this year." Jinju said with his head down.

"Oh, I see." Shushan nodded, thinking that Jinju was finally willing to go back to the department. How many years had it been since she went back?

"So I want this kid to look after the house on Tegenkyu Island while I'm away." Jinju gently touched the air on his left hand and said with a smile.

"If you're talking about Jin Xiaoju, then she's on your right..."

"Eh, so that's it..."

Jinju quickly changed sides and touched.

But the orange chinchilla grinned and hid to her left, showing its rebelliousness.

Shushan found it a little funny to see Kumquat caressing the air...

These two hairy ones of the same hue…

What a great relationship!

From a distance they look like a mother and daughter. Well, Kumquat is indeed very maternal, with a curvy figure. She has been despised by cat-eared men until she grew old because she couldn't have children.

By the way, how old is Jin Ju this year... It is now the autumn of the 40th year of the Dragon God Calendar, so Jin Ju is 41 years old this year, right? Converted into human years, it is not young...

. . . . . .

Fortieth year of the Dragon God Calendar, Winter Solstice Dinner.

Looking at the kittens singing and dancing, Shushan smiled and picked up a bucket of maltose.

Little did they know that it was maltose, but not entirely maltose... it was fermented beer juice...

Chapter 22: On the way, the Iron Age

The tree mountain fell down.

It will be impossible to recover in a short period of time.

Um...the cause of the incident was as follows:

Several years after Hei Song learned how to make maltose, he obtained a wine-like taste from the failed maltose and tried to make wine without any instruction.

But drinking this kind of wine gives a headache. Hei Song, who tasted it himself, was even poisoned. He consumed a lot of "Dream Night Flower" of the curly birch before he recovered.

There was actually no problem up to this point. This beginner was lucky enough not to drink himself to death while brewing beer, right? So Juan Hua just pinched Hei Song's ears and asked him not to conduct dangerous experiments without authorization, and asked him to destroy the failed beers. Hei Song did not dare to disobey...

However, when dealing with these failed products, it was already the winter solstice dinner, and they were busy day and night, so Hei Song just hastily hid these barrels and was busy with production...

As luck would have it, these barrels were discovered by a blue-gray cat-man.

He thought it was Hesong's secret stash of maltose.

Then his eyes rolled around, hey!

The blue-gray cat-man secretly moved it away, and then presented it to the Dragon God at the Winter Solstice dinner, so that the Dragon God would favor him...

Well, that is the maltose in front of Shushan during the dinner. It looks like maltose, but it is not actually maltose. It is the original juice of beer, or even the original juice that failed to ferment!

Shushan was not wary of the cat-eared tribe. If someone brought him food, he would eat it.

As for who took it...

To be honest, Shushan doesn't care.

In his opinion, this was a tribute offered by all members of the Cat-Eared Tribe. It didn’t matter whether it was the rental fee for the land, or a tribute to show respect to him... I just wanted to eat, eat, eat.

Moreover, the Cat-Eared Tribe now only has respect for him and no hostility, and he believes that he has not done anything to let the Cat-Eared Tribe down, so he is not afraid of others bringing a map of Yan State to him.

So, he was miserable... Just because he was too unprepared, he didn't even bother to open the barrel, and chewed one by one, thinking that it tasted quite delicious... As a result, he was directly hit...

Well, but pure alcohol can't make the Earth Dragon God drunk, but these maltose have been fermented randomly, and the contents are not only alcohol, but also...

There were all kinds of random things! Even spores of the rust fungus floated in!

God knows which one is more poisonous, this malt juice or the Ganges water!

But even so...

Shushan is not worried about his life either...

After drinking several barrels of wine, he was just a little dizzy and slightly drunk. By the time he realized that something seemed to be wrong with him, he almost blacked out.

To avoid falling and hitting other cat-eared people.

He wagged his tail and took swaying steps.

Ran to the center of Zhangqiu Island.

He dug a big hole in the center of the Palm Ball Island, buried his head and body in the hole, leaving only his back and dragon horns exposed above the ground, and used magic to press the dirt on his body tightly... and then fell into a deep sleep...

. . . . . .

A Brief History of the Cat's Paw Islands (Dragon God Chapter):

Please remember, no matter what time, please avoid standing behind the Dragon God. Even a Dragon God with strong self-control will stretch and wag his tail when he is confused - you don't want this tail to wag on you!

. . . . . .

Shushan had a dream.

He dreamed of a snowy mountain.

The continuous snow-capped mountains are connected to the spirit world of the fairies, and a huge fiery red dragon egg is floating in the spirit world.

Even if the terrifying energy contained within does not overflow, it gives people a frenzied feeling of heat.

"Hiss...my head hurts..." Shushan slowly woke up, raised his head and looked around, scratching his cheek subconsciously...well, the familiar moss and mud were still there. It's over, it's dirty again.

Shushan squinted his eyes and recalled for a while, remembering what happened before he lost consciousness.

He ate some fermented (spoiled?) maltose, and then felt vaguely dizzy, a bit like being drunk. He used the last of his sanity to move away from the gathering place of the cat-ear tribe and found a comfortable place to lie down and sleep.

It was like a social gathering at Ka La O Kai where we drank and sang until midnight, and then went to sleep on a bench on the street... So, it was the wine, right? How could even the Dragon God be drunk? What kind of wine is so awesome? !

"Ah, Lord Shushan, you're awake!" Kumquat cat sat in front of Shushan. Because Shushan's body was dozens of meters below the ground, Kumquat was just at Shushan's line of sight.

"I am awake for now..." Shushan shook his tail up and down, causing a rumble behind him, "but my body is not under my control. It will take some time for me to regain my mobility... Sorry, I lost my composure. How long have I been sleeping?"

"It's been seven days, um... do you want to take a bath?" Jinju smiled, looking at Shushan's muddy and lush appearance, the cat man's grooming instinct was immediately aroused.

"Well... I still can't do it. This is good. It's quite comfortable to be buried in the ground." Shushan squinted his eyes and yawned. "It feels really good to be buried in the ground and hibernate. I might as well go back to Tegenqiu Island and dig a big hole to use as a bed."

"Okay..." Jinju closed her eyes and nodded. Shushan's will was her job, but... Shushan had to do the digging of the hole himself.

At most, Kumquat can help make the bed.

Weed the 'beds' regularly and so on.

After a brief exchange, Jinju left the center of the island... This place is a long way from the forest in the southeast of Zhangqiu Island. It is the dividing line between the plain and the forest, so there are many wild beasts around...

There was a lot of rumbling noise in Shushan some time ago, which scared out a lot of big guys, so she had to go back to the tribe to help watch over the fields.

As for the reason why she returned to the tribe after such a long absence, well, Grandma Sanhua passed away, and Juanhua officially became the nominal patriarch of the tribe - before that, he had the title but not the reality - and Jinju, as a cat person of the older generation, had to attend.

Not long after Jinju left, a cat-man with brown and black hair and round ears quietly appeared behind a rock not far away.

"Ah, Heisong, good morning." Shushan saw Heisong. To be honest, this was the first time he looked this cat-man in the eye.

"Good morning, Lord Shushan, um... I'm sorry..." Heisong scratched his big ears, his tail unconsciously tucked between his calves, his eyes wandering and his expression subtle.

"What's wrong? Have you done something to make me feel sorry?" Shushan tilted his head and looked at Heisong carefully. The ears of this little cat reminded him of the black panther Wuyun... But Wuyun's body color was a little darker, and Wuyun would not apologize even if he did something wrong... Little cats are just willful.

"I'm sorry, those beers were failed products of my brewing. I had clearly hidden them away and prepared to destroy them, but for some reason, they were taken out again." Hei Song shook the tip of his tail and said with his head down.

"Oh, then you do need to apologize... Those wines are not filtered or distilled at all! The taste is very mixed and the aftertaste is very strong. I thought you were drinking the same thing." Shushan blinked and commented.

"Filter? Distill?" There seemed to be a question mark on Hesong's forehead.

"Didn't Juan Hua teach you?"

“No, I haven’t started learning these yet…”

Hei Song scratched his ears in embarrassment. Juan Hua had started basic education and all children needed to go to school, but he was an adult cat man and the leader of the production team, so naturally he didn't squeeze in with the little kids to study...

As for Juanhua, well, Juanhua not only has to select teachers, but also manages the potion field. Even the people in the production team who are responsible for feeding cattle and sheep with grass are not as Juanhua as he is.

"I see. After all, brewing wine is a complicated and delicate job. If you rely on yourself to figure it out, it will take you at least 10 to 20 years to learn it." Shushan was not surprised. The Cat-Eared Tribe was still a primitive society, so it was normal for them not to understand these things.

Shushan recalled the miscellaneous knowledge he had read in his previous life, and slowly told Hei Song about the beer brewing process. Hei Song shook his ears, and his pupils dilated as if he had just been enlightened...

Drying the germinated grains can extend the shelf life, brewing with only malt will taste good, brewing utensils need to be sterilized with boiling water, saccharification should be done at a temperature of 55 to 65 degrees, seasonings should be added during the first fermentation, and the second fermentation should be sealed and foamed...
