He glanced around the entire kitchen and shook his head in frustration.

Apart from a handful of gray rice and a little coarse salt, there are not even a few bundles of firewood for boiling water for cooking. How poor must one be?

Unable to find other seeds, Shi Zhongkui wanted to go out to look for them, but he stopped before he could take a few steps.

A feeling of extreme hunger spread from the stomach to the brain.

As an orphan in my previous life, I still had some cooking skills. I could take the wheat in the basin back into space, shell it, crush it and take it out again.

Put the water in the space well to start kneading the noodles.

I made some random noodles to fill my stomach. When I was washing the dishes, I saw my face clearly through the water in the basin, and I felt satisfied immediately.

In addition to looking thin because he had trouble eating, Shi Zhongkui felt that he was at least five points more handsome than he looked on earth.

Moreover, the stone idiot in my memory was only 19 years old, with handsome features and a height of over 1.7 meters. I couldn't help but laugh.

In ancient times, being ugly had a big impact on promotion.

After washing the pots and dishes, my mind once again fell into the farm in my mind.

Unexpectedly, the wheat field had already sprouted.

This speed is absolutely beyond imagination, and it seems that there is no need to worry about watering.

Shi Zhongkui clenched his fists excitedly, and then thought of an old peach tree planted in his yard.

He walked out of the kitchen quickly and within a moment, he had more than a dozen peach branches in his hand.

With a thought, these branches appeared on the farm and were planted on a piece of land.

But the situation was a bit beyond his expectation.

It’s not that the seeds cannot be planted, but that only one branch sprouts quickly, while the others wither and turn into soft mud and sink into the soil.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Zhongkui quickly understood.

If a piece of land can only harvest 10 kilograms, one peach tree will be enough.

Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but look at the peach tree in the yard.

At least this old tree, which is as thick as a person's arms, will grow into a big tree and bear fruit in less time than its branches.

But when he thought that if the tree was dug up, neighbors and the like might come to inquire, Shi Zhongkui gave up the idea.

Moreover, digging a big tree is not that easy. Not only do you have to dig the soil, you also have to cut off the roots, and you don’t have the right tools.

After thinking about it, I planted wheat on the third piece of land.

Then, simply turn all the remaining grassland into cultivated land.

Soon, in addition to warehouses and wells, 20 pieces of land measuring 2 by 2 meters were cultivated on the 10-by-10-meter farm.

If we really follow the yield of 10 kilograms per piece of land, we can harvest 200 kilograms of crops in one go.

Calculating it this way, it seems to be a bit less.

Shi Zhongkui regretted not secretly hiding a few seeds or peach cores from the Heavenly Garden fruits at the banquet in Heaven the day before yesterday.

But when I think about it, I didn't think of this at all at that time, and if Xue Gui and others discovered it, it would be a lot of trouble.

It was really not a good thing for me at that time.

But if you only grow things like wheat, it won’t be worthwhile.

Although normally calculated, one square meter of modern wheat land can harvest about 1.5 kilograms of wheat, and 4 square meters is 6 kilograms.

Compared with 10 pounds, the farm still has great advantages.

If we expect the farm to be able to harvest one crop a day, or even several crops a day, compared to the ancient harvest of only two to three hundred kilograms per acre, it will be a hundred times the profit.

ps: The Red Mansion is similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. One pound should be 596.8 grams, one pound sixteen taels, and one tael 37.3 grams.

With this expectation, all 17 newly opened plots of land were once again planted with wheat.

As for why it is not a peach tree, it is because normally it takes three or four years for a peach tree to grow and bear fruit.

Wheat ripens once every three months, so use more grains to solve the problem of eating first.

Look again and see that the sun has already shifted to the west, it seems to be 4 or 5 o'clock. Then think about it in my memory, it is already November, and it should not be long before it gets dark.

I simply went to the study room and sorted out the four books I had copied in handwriting.

Do the first practice again in the evening.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui knew very well that in ancient times, it was better to take the imperial examination route than to take the holy stick route.

Recalling for a moment, if I remember correctly, there will be county examinations in February next year, government examinations in April, and hospital examinations twice every three years. It may be in August, or it may be after April.

If you are lucky and pass it in one try, you will be a scholar.

Although a scholar is not a big deal, at least he can say that he is a scholar. He does not bow to officials, does not have to do corvee work, and does not have to pay taxes.

When I came to the study room, I sorted it out and identified the traditional Chinese characters of the world to see if they were no different from the earth.

But I didn't expect that as I looked at it, I suddenly found that it was boring and difficult to understand classical Chinese. Not only did I understand it, but I also remembered a lot.

The 493 words in the first article "Xue Er" can be remembered by just reading it once.

This must be due to the sublimation of the soul while in heaven. At the same time, the memory of the stone idiot also played a big role.

But he suppressed his excitement and memorized the second chapter several times. Shi Zhongkui's face lit up and he was sure that his memory had become much stronger.

This is a cheating device for the imperial examination.

No, you can completely store books, annotations and other materials in the space.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shi Zhongkui's mouth turned up slightly, and then he wanted to see how his handwriting was.

But I found that apart from a few bald brushes at home, there were not even a few pieces of paper for writing.

Sighing again, he comforted himself by thinking, as a cultivator, how could he be short of money?

Moreover, after the soul has passed through, it will have its own house and a farm, which will solve the problem of food and housing, and everything else will gradually get better.

Grind and spread out the yellowed paper.

I closed my eyes and recalled the writing habits of the stone nerd in the past. The first time I started writing, I was still a little unfamiliar, but as I kept writing, my handwriting gradually began to resemble the words in my memory.

This is probably due to muscle memory, and he has completely accepted all the memories of Stone Dude, so that he can copy his handwriting.

When he was on Earth, Shi Zhongkui seldom wrote calligraphy with a brush, let alone calligraphy with a pen. Now he was very happy that he could write neat calligraphy with a brush.

I just don’t know how it compares to others?

I silently thought about the memories in my mind and determined that Shi Duzi had an old scholar as his teacher.

Now it seems that I still have to turn in Shu Xiu as soon as possible. Even if I don't go to a private school every day like a child, I can still get some advice from the old scholar.

A person who has been taking the imperial examination for a lifetime will not only know the various rules of the county examination, government examination, and college examination, but future candidates will also be able to learn from each other some things that need to be paid attention to.

When it was getting dark, Shi Zhongkui made some hand-rolled noodles again and looked at the wheat and peach trees on the farm that had grown a lot.

In a happy mood, I sat on the cold bed fully clothed and practiced all night without realizing it.
Chapter completed!
