Chapter 25: Chapter 22: Medicine Fields and Shopping Mall

Gu Chengyu had never farmed, but within this space, he was the master. He didn’t need to plant; he could just use his mind to urge things on.

Floating to the edge of the fields, he took out rice seeds from the warehouse and planted thirty acres of rice. These were regular rice seeds. Beside them, he planted ten acres of rouge rice. Rouge rice matures slowly; regular rice matures in about ten days in this space, but rouge rice takes two months. Additionally, regular rice can be taken out, but rouge rice is not suitable to be taken out. The rouge rice’s appearance is pink, with translucent grains, and when cooked, it releases a special aroma.

After planting the rouge rice, he followed by planting thirty acres of wheat. The Gu Family mostly ate noodles. Of course, they didn’t eat white noodles, only black and mixed ones. Black noodles are refined mixed noodles, sieved a bit and ground again, making them somewhat finer. Mixed noodles are made when grinding wheat with the wheat bran mixed in. The resulting wotou is rougher on the throat. The Gu Family eats this when not busy with farming. During the busy farming season, they eat finer foods like black noodles with wild vegetable lumps and scorched black noodle wotou. Gu Chengyu worried that in the future, without milk, he might have to eat these too. It’s not that he’s delicate; these noodle dishes were hard to swallow. During peaceful times in the previous life, these were fed to pigs on farms, not eaten by people. Even if everyone’s life improved and they wanted to try coarse grains, they would mix some fine grains in. Otherwise, you could try it. Even when the apocalypse came, Gu Chengyu had space but never ate truly unpleasant foods, except accompanying people with empty stomachs.

Thinking about it, he planted five acres of corn. Gu Chengyu liked eating tender corn, so he planned to store it after harvest and eat it slowly later. He also sowed seeds for greens, cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, soybeans, and mung beans. Gu Jing’s era seemed to be the Ming Dynasty, with potatoes and sweet potatoes already available. Corn was a later addition, with not many seeds—probably stuffed into the mix while wandering. There weren’t many usable seeds.

Fruit trees were available nearby, without needing to plant. There were apples, pears, loquats, and peaches, even watermelons, which were a treasure, as he loved eating watermelons. He was uncertain which dynasty he had traveled back to, whether it had watermelons, sweet potatoes, corn, or potatoes. The cross-collar right-buttoned garments resembled Hanfu, yet during the washing ritual for newborns, his father’s sister-in-law surprisingly wore a small stand-collar jacket, and the clan leader still wore a straight robe. Gu Chengyu was unsure.

Upon finishing sowing the grains, Gu Chengyu thought of the medicinal field and decided to take a look. He floated to the medicinal field. The medicinal field was roughly ten acres, surrounded by medicinal herbs. Gu Chengyu noticed a herb with a wholly red stem and branches, green leaves, and red fruits. Wasn’t this ginseng? It turns out there was ginseng already planted here. Gu Chengyu’s mind was in sync with the space, knowing things upon seeing them. Nearby, there was Lingzhi too, with basin-sized Purple Ganoderma gleaming. This ginseng and Purple Ganoderma included many plants! Needless to say, the ginseng was certainly larger than those in the medicine cabinet and unknown how many years it had grown, never uprooted. Furthermore, the soil of this medicinal field was rich in Spiritual Energy, brought with some cosmic earth! The Spiritual Energy in the center of the medicinal field was even denser, clearly planted with extraordinary herbs. Gu Chengyu was curious about what was planted in the middle. Upon closer inspection, he found those herbs used for making Ice-skin Ointment, Life-extending Pills, and the like. These were considered low-level spiritual medicines, although common to cultivators and not very useful, but for ordinary people, they were excellent.

Gu Chengyu looked at the ordinary herbs around him, thinking he should harvest them and replant. These herbs could only grow to this point, and the spiritual medicines in the middle were also ripe, needing replanting. However, when he saw the basin-sized Purple Ganoderma and ginseng, he hesitated whether to harvest them or let them grow their years. He thought about it and decided to harvest them, leaving a couple to grow at random. Their overly long duration made them unsuitable for taking out! The surrounding large and small ones were left as they were.

After sorting and collecting the herbs, he placed them into the medicine cabinet. The spiritual medicines were suitably stored in Jade Boxes in the pharmaceutical warehouse. He pulled out the ginseng, observing the ginseng thicker than a baby’s arm, and found an empty medicine cabinet to place it in. There were two basin-sized Purple Ganoderma; the medicine cabinet couldn’t hold them, so he found a box to store them.

He retrieved seeds from the warehouse again and planted them in the medicinal field, arranged in the previous categories, with spiritual medicines in the center. Other herbs would grow well in three days, but those requiring time needed slow growth. Like the ginseng from earlier, about 1,500 years old, and such large Purple Ganoderma would take thirty to forty years to grow! Thus very precious, not to be used unless absolutely necessary. Since a bit of cosmic earth was left in the center, though really just a little, originally moved by a great power upon failing to refine their portable abode, leaving only some behind. This cosmic earth was a coveted treasure by great powers from the Immortal World; getting a few grains was fortunate. Therefore, the spiritual medicines were not exceptionally slow, roughly taking six months to mature.
