"I'll bring it back for my parents to taste." He filled a thermos bottle with the spring water. Now, there was only the bottom of the bucket left.
"What should I do with the rest? How about watering the herbs?"
He poured the water into the water tank of the sprayer. Then, he took the bucket to the low-lying dam on the hillside. He mixed the water in the bucket and sprayed it on the herbs outside.
Hopefully, it would work!
Sealwort was planted in the herbal field.
It got the Qi of earth and the essence of heaven and earth.
The rhizome was like tender ginger. It was fat and fleshy. It was yellowish white and slightly flat. The rhizome was upright and cylindrical. The leaves were short and bamboo-like. The flowers were white. The rhizome could be used as medicine.
Sealwort was a kind of Chinese herbal medicine that was widely planted. The technology was mature and the market demand was high. The price was also rising steadily. Therefore, Wang Yao chose this kind of Chinese herbal medicine to try.
In fact, Sealwort was relatively easy to cultivate. However, it was not difficult for those who knew how to cultivate it. Other people could earn at least 20,000 yuan per mu of land in two to three years. However, Wang Yao only cultivated a few mu of land and lost 30,000 yuan in three years. If he added the cost of contracting the barren hill, it would be even more.
"I hope I can lose less this year!" Wang Yao said to himself while watering the herbs.
"Task released. Please check it." At this time, the mechanical voice sounded again.
"Task? What task?"
Wang Yao opened the system immediately. He found a task in the task bar.
Task: Produce 6,000 pounds of fresh Sealwort per mu.
Reward: A pack of herb seeds.
Punishment: Take back the ancient spring.
6,000 pounds? How is this possible?
Wang Yao was dumbfounded.
According to the information he knew, Sealwort could produce about 600 to 800 pounds of dry matter per mu. 1,000 pounds was considered a high yield. Generally, four pounds of fresh Sealwort could produce about one pound. According to this ratio, Sealwort could produce more than 4,000 pounds per mu. It was considered a high yield if Sealwort was produced by a master of planting and good soil. He was just a rookie on the hillside. How could he produce 6,000 pounds per mu?
It was impossible. He had no choice.
After spraying the water, Wang Yao walked around the herbal field several times and removed several weeds in the field. He tested the humidity of the soil and went back to his room to make a record. Then he surfed the Internet on his mobile phone to find a way to increase the harvest of sealwort in a short time.
It was already the end of August, and the harvest season of sealwort would come in one month. He thought it was impossible to increase the yield in such a short time. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a feasible solution. The answer given on the Internet was to apply fertilizer reasonably and strengthen the management of the fields. There were also some unreliable suggestions, saying that special hormones could be used to stimulate the rapid growth of plants in a short period of time.
"I have no clue!"
After checking for a while, Wang Yao stopped and scratched his head helplessly when he saw that his phone was out of battery.
"Let's go back and think about it!"
After recording down a few relatively reliable methods, he packed up his things, locked the door, and prepared to go down the mountain.
Sigh, why are the leaves so green all of a sudden?
After going out, Wang Yao went to the herbal field again. He was surprised to find that the leaves of the sealwort in the herbal field seemed to have become much greener.
"Is there something wrong with my eyes?"
"San Xian, take care of the herbal field," Wang Yao said to San Xian.
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian barked a few times. It seemed that it understood Wang Yao's words.
Wang Yao then went down the mountain. When he returned home, Zhang Xiuying, who was cooking, stopped and asked her son to come over. She talked to him again. The main content was to let him give up the herbal field on the mountain, go to the city, find a job, and bring back a wife.
"Mom, the sealwort I planted is about to be harvested. It's a pity to waste it now. After the harvest in autumn, I will talk to Uncle Li about leasing the herbal field," Wang Yao said.
Originally, he didn't want to give up on his idea. Now that he had obtained the mysterious Pharmacist System, he was even more determined to continue growing medicinal herbs. Moreover, he wanted to make it bigger and stronger. As for his parents, he could only delay it for now. Once the medicinal herbs showed results, he believed that his parents would naturally change their minds.
"Okay, don't forget." Zhang Xiuying thought it was reasonable, so she didn't continue to push her son.
"I know. Mom, I brought you a bottle of water. Have a taste," Wang Yao said.
"Why do I need to taste water?" Zhang Xiuying disagreed.
"It's very sweet. It's better than the spring water on the mountain. Have a taste." After that, she put down the thermos filled with ancient spring water.
When he went back to his room, he took out the materials and continued to look for scientific methods that could increase the harvest of herbs in a short time.
Zhang Xiuying, who was busy in the kitchen, felt thirsty. She picked up the thermos left by Wang Yao and poured a glass of water. She only felt that the water was very sweet and delicious, so she drank a few more mouthfuls.
"This water is quite delicious."
After a while, Wang Yao's father also came back from outside.
After the meal was ready, the family sat together to eat.
"Have a taste. The water your son brought back." Zhang Xiuying poured a glass of water for her husband.
Wang Fenghua, who had a dark complexion, didn't say anything. He picked up the glass and drank a mouthful of water. The spring water was sweet and refreshing. After drinking it, he felt refreshed. The tiredness caused by a busy day was also reduced a lot.
"It's delicious."
It was a simple word. Wang Yao knew that his father was a man of few words. This word was a rare praise.
"Yao, where did you get this water?" Zhang Xiuying asked.
"A classmate sent it to me. He said it was non-polluted water from outside. He asked me to have a taste." Wang Yao said the reason that he had thought of a long time ago. He couldn't tell his parents that he suddenly got a magical system and the system rewarded him with a magical ancient spring kettle. The water was poured from the kettle.
"Dad, Mom, I'll go out tomorrow. I'll go to town."
"Good. You should have gone to see it earlier," Zhang Xiuying said happily.
"Okay." Wang Fenghua responded and drank up the wine in the glass.
Wang Yao didn't go to town to find a job. He went to the big herbal farmers nearby to learn about their experience and see if they had any good methods. By the way, he went to town to see if there was any biological fertilizer that could promote the growth of sealwort. Of course, he couldn't tell his parents that he went out to study the planting of herbs. Otherwise, his parents would definitely be unhappy.
Ka la. There was a sound from outside the door. Then, the door opened. A woman in her late twenties came in. She was slim and very good-looking. After entering the door, she hurried into the house.
"Dad, Mom, Yao, are you all right?"
"Sister, why did you come back?"
The person who came back was Wang Yao's sister, Wang Ru. She was one year older than him and worked in the agricultural bureau in town.
