Russell did not plant the bamboo in the potion village, but planted it near the cigar compound. Not only because he liked bamboo, but also because there was only one cordyceps plant for the time being.
In the entire Youguang River Valley, no plant like bamboo has been found yet. Even when he walked around the mouth of the Sancha River before, he seemed to have never seen a plant similar to bamboo in his memory. So it is difficult to grow a bamboo garden.
He could only ask the caravan from the Fluorescent Castle to help him go to the volcanic oasis or several other warm enclaves to look for bamboo.
Then bring back the bamboo seeds.
certainly.
If one day the Bamboo Cordyceps blooms and bears fruit, new magic bamboos can be bred from bamboo rice. However, in Russell’s memory, bamboo blooming means death. He doesn’t want the Bamboo Cordyceps to bloom, so he can just keep it like this.
“But, then again, a single bamboo tree can form a forest. If I raise this bamboo cordyceps plant, will one day it directly spread into a bamboo forest?”
Russell looked at the newly planted bamboo cordyceps.
Hundreds of bamboos slightly thicker than a finger grew out one after another. It looked like a small bamboo forest, and the underground bamboo whips were still spreading, showing no signs of stopping their growth.
Ordinary Cordyceps basically stops growing when it grows to a certain extent, and does not bloom, bear fruit or wither.
But according to Old Charlie, this bamboo cordyceps plant was discovered about a month ago, and at first there were only a few scattered roots.
Because there is wasteland behind his yard, according to the rules of the territory, these trees are the property of the lord. So old Charlie ignored these bamboos. Who knew that within a month, the bamboos would spread to his house.
It almost arched the corner of the wall.
Only then did he find the temporary office.
“That is to say, this bamboo Cordyceps sinensis can continue to grow… Tsk tsk, I want to see if you can grow into a bamboo forest, no, a sea of bamboo!” Russell thought happily, if this is the case, even if it does not produce anything, Magic potions and magic ingredients are a pleasure just to keep and admire.
The ancients said that it would be better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo.
Russell’s cigar compound now has bamboo.
“Come on, little guy.” He put the bamboo elf insect into the shelf in the elf room. Even though he was happy, he was not too excited.
After all, he was the one with two elves in hand.
“Huh?” Nico, the tobacco elf, just woke up and saw her new friend, so she flew over.
Then he grabbed the bamboo fairy bug and started flying around in front of Russell.
I don’t know whether it was welcoming its friends or bullying them. Soon the noise woke up Rosie, the fluorescent mushroom bird, and she flew over, chirping and joining the welcoming team. From time to time she softly Take a bite of the bamboo fairy bug.
“Okay, okay, Nicole, Rosie, stop messing with the bamboo…bamboo insects.” Russell always felt a little awkward when he spoke.
Bamboo fairy bug, naturally referred to as bamboo bug.
However, the bamboo worms from home on Earth seem to be a delicacy – of course, Russell is not sensitive to delicacies such as worms.
“Hey.” Nicole listened to Russell’s instructions and threw the bamboo fairy insect directly into the shelf.
Fortunately, the elf bug’s skin is very solid, and it doesn’t feel any pain when it is dropped. It turns over and crawls around curiously in its new home.
When encountering other elf bugs, they will touch them out of curiosity.
However, these old fairy bugs are not as active as bamboo bugs. They lie lazily on the shelf, too lazy to respond.
……
“Master, are you going to hold a celebration banquet at noon today?” Butler Morris asked with a smile, “The dragon is watching, Master, you have got another elf insect. This is a rare and happy event in the territory.”
“Is it rare to see it? It doesn’t seem to be that rare.” Russell’s expression was indifferent, “It’s just a fairy bug.”
His heart was indeed calm.
For any lord, elf bugs are strategic resources.
It’s just that Russell’s elf bugs are coming so fast that the potion field can hardly be planted, which naturally leads to the happy trouble of “too many elves”.
“Then let’s hold a banquet.” Russell said, and suddenly thought of something, “Oh, by the way, inform James and ask him to go to Wheattown to invite old Charlie over, and invite old Charlie to attend the noon banquet.”
Bamboo cordyceps was discovered by old Charlie, and Russell hoped to share his glory with the people in this way.
It also further encourages local residents to search for possible Cordyceps.
After all, if you discover a magical creature, you can not only get a large reward, but also have lunch with the lord, and gain both fame and fortune. Who can not envy and look forward to this?
“As you wish, sir.” Butler Morris responded.
At the luncheon, old Charlie was very nervous. He ate many delicacies that he had never enjoyed before, drank Fendai wine that only nobles could taste, and even received a new suit of clothes as a gift from the lord.
After eating and drinking, I put on new clothes and was sent home by a carriage from the Cigar Courtyard.
Old Charlie’s wonderful experience today spread quickly throughout the Black-waisted Snake Manor, as if it had wings.
“Did you hear that old Charlie from Wheat Village found an elf bug?”
“Isn’t that right? The lord rewarded me with a gold coin!”
“Then where are we? Old Charlie was invited to the manor’s courtyard to have dinner with the lord. That guy ate snow-white bread and drank orange-yellow wine. He was so beautiful. !”
“The dragon is watching, old Charlie is really lucky!”
“It’s because the lord is generous and kind. Old Charlie just ran into Cordyceps and made a fortune without doing anything.”
“I won’t tell you anymore, I’m going to go for a walk in the fields.”
“Well, I’ll go for a walk too. If I encounter Cordyceps, the lord can reward me with a gold coin!”
“You are thinking shit, the dragon is watching, this gold coin reward should be in my hands!”
On this day and the next few days, the serfs were not concentrating on their work. If they had nothing to do, they wanted to walk around the wasteland to see if they could find some strange plants. If they identified it as Cordyceps, wouldn’t they immediately live in peace? Complete.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the temporary office. No matter whether the plant found was Cordyceps sinensis or not, the serfs all wanted to try their luck.
If you are unlucky and punished by the officials, you will get two whippings at most.
If the dragon in the Grand Duke’s family opens its eyes and looks over, it can immediately live a life of food and drink just like old Charlie’s family.
Ten thousand copper plates, how much black bread can this buy?
Days like this lasted until November, when the sweltering summer season gradually passed, and the harvest season began in full swing in the territory. Wheat, barley, lentils are all ready to be harvested, and once this batch of crops is harvested, a short-term crop can be planted.
Before the ice age comes and the land freezes again, we can harvest another crop.
Xilulu! The horse came galloping, it was Raphael, the messenger from Fluorescence Castle, delivering three letters to Russell.
One was a daily letter from Fluorescent Castle. Baron Roman knew that Russell had harvested another elf bug, so naturally he wanted to congratulate and encourage him.
The other letter was sent from the Red Keep and was signed Roland Luminous Mushroom.
“Well, brother has replied.” Russell quickly opened the letter, and after reading it, he showed a satisfied smile.
