Cold-resistant wheat
【Features: Cold-resistant, it can germinate and grow in severe cold environments ranging from -10 to 15 degrees Celsius, with a yield of 200-400 jin per mu.】
[Cold-resistant wheat advancement route one: Soaking in the juice of *Houttuynia cordata* for 3 days can advance it to heat-loving wheat.]
[Characteristics of heat-loving wheat: Yield 400-600 jin per mu, resistant to high temperatures.]
[Second step in developing cold-resistant wheat: Soaking the wheat in the juice of *Ligustrum lucidum* (jade leaf flower) for 3 days can advance it to a high-yield variety.]
High-yield wheat characteristics: 500-1000 jin per mu (approximately 250-300 catties per hectare), thrives in warm environments.
Staring at the advanced information that appeared before him, Chen Dao looked delighted.
After upgrading winter wheat to cold-resistant wheat, he could no longer see any information about upgrading cold-resistant wheat. He originally thought it was because plants could only be upgraded once.
But now it seems that this is not the case!
"Is it true that plants can't advance to the next level only once, but need to be planted once before they can advance a second time?"
Chen Dao seemed to be deep in thought. This was undoubtedly good news for him, because the varieties on both advanced paths of cold-resistant wheat were quite good.
Heat-loving wheat can withstand high temperatures and its yield per acre is slightly higher than that of cold-resistant wheat. As for high-yield wheat, its yield is even more astonishing!
It's important to understand that even with intensive farming, the wheat varieties in Xia Kingdom can only yield a maximum of 300-400 jin per mu, while high-yield wheat...
The minimum yield is 500 jin per mu, and the maximum yield can reach 1000 jin per mu!
That's almost three times the yield of ordinary wheat per acre! If it could be grown...
Then the entire Chenjia Village, and even the entire Taiping County, will no longer need to worry about food.
As for the two materials for advancing cold-resistant wheat, sparrow tongue grass and jade leaf flower aged rice, I have heard of them. These are the most common medicinal materials, and you don't even need to go to the county town to buy them. Su Shihua's pharmacy in the village sells them.
In other words... although Chen Dao can cultivate cold-resistant wheat seeds into high-yield wheat or heat-loving wheat.
"Wow~"
Just as Chen Dao was pondering, two yellow figures rushed over.
Big Yellow and Little Yellow ran happily to Chen Dao's feet, barking incessantly around him, their tails wagging joyfully, looking extremely happy.
"Big Yellow, Little Yellow!"
Chen Dao smiled and gently stroked the heads of the two dogs, while at the same time, their advanced information appeared in his eyes.
Search Dog
[Characteristics: High speed, keen sense of smell, strong territorial instincts, and combat strength comparable to a sixth-rank martial artist.]
[Advanced Path for Search Dogs: Mating with Bloodthirsty Wolves can produce Lion Hounds.]
[Lion Hound Characteristics: Fierce, preying on tigers, lions, and other wild beasts; combat prowess comparable to a fifth-rank martial artist.]
[Surveillance Dog Advancement Route Two: Feeding it cedar seeds for ten days will advance it to the Swift Wind Dog.]
[Characteristics of the Gale Hound: Swift as the wind, with sharp claws and teeth, its combat strength is comparable to a fifth-rank martial artist.]
After being fed fire-patterned wood for several days, Big Yellow and Little Yellow also advanced to become search dogs comparable to sixth-grade martial artists. At this time, their size visibly increased, and when they stood up, they were even half a head taller than Chen Dao, truly majestic and extraordinary.
In fact, not only Dahuang and Xiaohuang, but also Xiaoyuan, who had always been hanging on Chen Dao's shoulder, had completed its advancement.
【Fire-patterned Panda】
【Features: Claws are hard and sharp, and attacks are imbued with flames that can burn enemies; combat power is comparable to a fifth-rank martial artist.】
[Fire-Patterned Red Panda Advancement Path 1: Mating with Snow-Patterned Red Pandas can produce Ice Claw Red Pandas.]
[Special Features of the Ice Claw Panda: Capable of manipulating ice and snow power, its combat strength is comparable to a fourth-rank martial artist.]
[Fire-Patterned Panda Advancement Route 2: Feed it Snow Lotus for 10 consecutive days to advance it to Ice-Flame Panda.]
【Ice Flame Panda's characteristics: It can manipulate the power of ice and fire, and its combat strength is comparable to that of a fourth-grade martial artist.】
At this moment, Xiao Yuan's appearance did not seem to have changed much, but if you looked closely, you could notice that there were flame-like patterns on its claws. In addition, its original brown fur had turned into a bright red color like flames, making it both eerie and adorable.
"Snow lotus and cedar seeds..."
As Chen Dao recited the materials needed for the advancement, he looked up at Li Zheng, who was giving the report, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."
For the past three days, Li Zheng's work has been anything but easy. The villagers only need to think about how to harvest the wheat quickly and well, but Li Zheng has a lot more to do.
Because he was the only scholar in the village, he was responsible for weighing and counting all the wheat harvested in the village. As a result, the village school had not held classes for the past three days, and the village children were overjoyed.
"What's so hard about that!"
Li Zheng smiled and waved his hand.
Since the village school reopened, he has been living a very comfortable life. He teaches children to read every day, and in his spare time he can also read and write. He is both leisurely and respected, and he can also receive a salary of one tael of silver per month. This is a life that other villagers can only envy.
Chen Dao nodded, got up from his chair, walked to the edge of the field, and said to the villagers who had just finished harvesting wheat and were resting, "Fellow villagers, are you tired?"
"What's so hard about it? It's not hard at all!"
"I feel happy just looking at this golden wheat, and I don't feel tired at all!"
"Me too! Just looking at this wheat makes me feel at ease."
"..."
The villagers responded to Chen Dao with smiles, asking if harvesting wheat was hard work.
That was certainly hard work; many villagers were so exhausted that they couldn't even straighten their backs.
However, in their view, the hard work was worthwhile. As soon as they saw the mountains of wheat, they felt as if all their fatigue had been swept away and they were full of energy again.
Seemingly inspired by the villagers, Chen Dao also smiled and said, "Everyone, please work a little harder and move all the wheat to the threshing ground, and then..."
Chen Dao paused for a moment: "Then tomorrow I'll treat everyone to meat!"
eat meat?
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison, "Brother Dao, are you going to treat us to meat?"
"That's right!"
Chen Dao nodded and said, "Everyone helped me harvest the wheat, so I can't be stingy, can I? The whole village can come to my house for meat tomorrow!"
"Great!"
"Great!"
"Long live Brother Dao!"
"Eat meat! Eat meat! We want to eat meat!"
"..."
The villagers cheered immediately. Hearing that there would be meat to eat, they were filled with anticipation and seemed eager to see tomorrow arrive.
However, before that, they need to take the harvested wheat to the threshing ground to dry.
So the villagers sprang into action, all full of energy, and began transporting the wheat. Even the village children joined the wheat-carrying team, helping the adults with whatever they could.
