Chapter 16 Our own land
"Pony, what do you think of this place?"
In my heart, I call Monkey a flatterer, but to save trouble, Monkey becomes a pony. As for the three generals under it, they are naturally two horses, three horses and four horses.
Why should the monkey's name be so formal? Just say it out loud.
The pony didn't know what Gu Siwei was talking about. It only knew that Gu Siwei was talking to itself, so it grinned and made a smile. It didn't know whether it meant approval or agreement.
"Forget it, I can't tell you anything."
Gu Siwei is quite satisfied here.
It's not that the soil here is suitable for farming, nor that there is water here, but that this is a small valley between two ridges.
To put it more clearly, it is here that there is dirt.
He really wanted to have good land with water, soil, rivers, and preferably automatic irrigation, but this idea was not realistic.
Looking down from the peak here, the bottom looks like a gourd, with mountains on both sides. Two east-west mountains sandwich this place.
The east side is larger, and the west side is smaller. There is a small opening in the middle, which is not too far from the river. It is almost under the butt of the gourd, and the river is more than five meters down.
If we wait a few decades, a water pump will solve the water problem, but now a water pump is obviously impossible, but Gu Siwei also knows that our ancestors have cultivated the land for thousands of years, and there must be a way to get water from the bottom.
At this time, what Gu Siwei had to do was to get some soil and put it up.
As for how big the land was, Gu Siwei didn't even know how many acres the valley was in his head. Anyway, he thought it was quite big.
Of course, it wouldn't be too big. It was roughly the size of two or three football fields. As for how many acres it was, he had no idea.
In the eyes of others, this place must be of no use, because there is no soil here. There was some soil on it, but it was not soil, but the decay of dead branches and leaves accumulated over time.
Now Gu Siwei's plan is to find a place to collect soil and put it into the valley. Wouldn't there be land now?
And the good thing about this place is that except for him, it is very difficult for others to come up.
The more he looked at this piece of land, the more pleased Gu Siwei became.
"pony!"
No one listened to Gu Siwei's show off, and he could only talk in pony talk now.
Just as he said "Little Horse", Gu Siwei saw what was in his hand, and Gu Siwei was stunned.
Walnut.
No matter how stupid Siwei is, he still knows what a walnut looks like, and this walnut is not the kind of thing that is smashed in the tree. This is a serious wild walnut. Although it is smaller than the core head that was researched decades later, it is still smaller than the core head.
There are a lot more things in the village.
The walnut in Gu Siwei's hand was numb and almost the size of a table tennis ball. Even a small one was limited. This was a serious walnut.
"Pony, where did this come from?"
Gu Siwei stretched out his walnuts.
When the pony saw Gu Siwei bringing the walnuts, it thought Gu Siwei didn't want to eat them, so it stretched out its hand to take them back.
How could Gu Siwei let Xiao Ma take the walnuts back? He shrank his hand and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
Based on Gu Siwei's understanding of this group of monkeys, they must have more than one walnut.
Unfortunately, the communication between Gu Siwei and Xiao Ma ran into big trouble. One person and one monkey is like a chicken talking to a duck.
Gu Siwei felt that Xiao Ma was stupid, but Xiao Ma also felt that his master was not very smart. He had indicated countless times that the food was edible, but the man still kept asking.
If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, Xiao Ma would have jumped up and scratched him a few times.
The pony didn't dare, but it was holding fire in its heart. When it was waiting to see what its master was thinking, the pony turned around and pulled out the original monkey king and beat him up, venting his anger.
Gu Siwei started to think about running the train again, but when he heard the monkey's scream, he came back to his senses and found that the pony was beating the old monkey king, so he frowned and said, "Why do you bully it if you have nothing to do?"
Squeak!
Xiao Ma gave up on the old monkey king, walked to Gu Siwei's side, and translated the official form with a shy face.
Gu Siwei had an idea at this moment. He picked a place at the foot of the mountain, threw the walnuts on the ground, then entered the space, took a ladle and scooped out a ladle of water.
That's right, now that Gu Siwei has a new guy, he no longer has to use his Leifeng hat as a scooper.
After leaving the space, Gu Siwei slowly poured the water from the ladle onto the walnuts.
Soon the walnut began to sprout, spit out two leaves and began to grow branches, which kept growing upward.
After a while, Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded. The walnuts and walnut trees he had seen were only two or three meters high, at most they were like this.
But the walnut tree in front of me grew to more than 20 meters. It was only about one and a half meters above the ground when it started to branch. Once it opened, it opened five branches, which is five branches, and it was almost one meter above the ground.
The branches branch out again.
After opening its branches several times, in front of Gu Siwei's eyes, a huge walnut tree with a canopy like a crown and a crown of about 20 meters in diameter appeared.
Then the walnut branches were covered with bunches of flowers that looked like big caterpillars, and after a while, the little twists of the walnut appeared.
Then the green walnut grew bigger and bigger, and finally the outer green skin exploded, revealing the walnut kernel inside. This thing is the most common walnut.
Gu Siwei looked a little dumbfounded because he had never seen it. Even if he had seen a walnut tree, he had never seen the whole process of a walnut tree growing from walnuts to fruiting and then falling.
There is still a persimmon tree in the background, otherwise it would be even more surprising.
The monkeys were very happy. From such a big walnut tree, walnuts were falling down one by one. They were all chirping and not knowing how happy they were.
However, they were happy, and they did not dare to come forward without the order from the Monkey King, the pony. The pony was also happy at the moment, but it also did not dare to come forward without the order from Siwei.
All the monkeys know that the tree belongs to the owner, and they would not have the guts to eat it without permission.
A few minutes later, Gu Siwei came to his senses and began to greet the monkey.
"Work, work!"
Gu Siwei said something to Monkey King Pony.
The pony was always cooperative. When Gu Siwei said work, he immediately understood what his master meant and Zhizhi greeted the monkeys to start working.
After receiving the pony's order, the monkeys immediately squeaked and rushed towards the walnuts on the ground and trees.
The fastest monkey quickly came to Gu Siwei carrying a few walnuts.
Gu Siwei looked at it and felt a little dissatisfied, because walnuts are walnuts, walnuts are walnuts, and now the walnuts still have green skin on them. What's wrong, you monkeys are going to let us peel the skins ourselves?
Gu Siwei got a complete walnut from the pony's hand, so these monkeys must know how to peel the shell. Even if they didn't know, Gu Siwei decided to let them know that the walnut given to him must be shelled.
"Peak the shell!"
Gu Siwei made a gesture.
Squeak!
This monkey didn't quite understand. Not only did it not understand, but all the monkeys that came after it didn't understand.
So Gu Siwei made some gestures, peeled off the skin of a walnut, and then pointed the walnut kernel at the monkeys.
"This is what I want, Are you ok?"
A group of monkeys squatted in front of Gu Siwei and were a little dumbfounded. They didn't know what their master Gu Siwei meant.
However, among so many monkeys, there are always some who are a little smarter. Soon a monkey came out, peeled off the skin of one of the three walnuts he handed over, and brought it to Gu Siwei.
"Hey, there are still smart people"
Gu Siwei watched this guy peel off the fruit, and suddenly felt a little surprised. After reaching out and taking the fruit, he rubbed the monkey's head.
The monkey immediately understood: So this is what the master wants!
It is not difficult for a monkey to peel the walnut skin, and now that the walnut is fully mature and the skin has cracked, it only takes a few bites with the teeth to get the walnut kernel out.
So I quickly skinned the remaining two in my hand.
After Gu Siwei took it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Once one monkey figures it out, the next monkeys will have an example.
But there are also fools, or lazy people, who don't want to peel the walnuts, so they want to hand the walnuts with the skin directly to Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei was not polite to these guys. He took off a branch from the walnut tree and gave any monkey who dared to hand over the unpeeled walnuts to him a severe beating.
To the monkeys, Gu Siwei was a complete tyrant. If the monkeys had a history, Gu Siwei would probably be at best like King Zhou of the Monkey History, and he could not be better.
For Gu Siwei, the most important thing about getting along with monkeys is to have clear rewards and punishments, and the other is to have a whip in your hand.
A group of monkeys went into battle, and even from such a big walnut tree, all the walnuts were picked within two or three hours.
At this moment, a pile of shelled walnuts appeared in front of Gu Siwei.
There must be a big pile, weighing several hundred kilograms.
"Well done, well done!"
Looking at the pile of walnuts in front of him, Gu Siwei smiled happily, saying that it was good, while filling it into his own space.
