Chapter 02 The Book of Shennong
"Look at you, you have no time to stay at home. You have to run out to burrow the forest, and you will lose all the appearance of a foreign student." Wei Da's home is in the countryside of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. After returning from an investigation from Shennongjia, he was naturally complained by his mother Huang Yue.
"How can you tell your son not to be successful? I'm just learning such a major." Wei Da smiled and lay on his mother's shoulder.
"Go and go, the most important thing is that you study hard now. If you have nothing to do, read more books there and take the doctoral exam if you have the chance. If you have a suitable partner, you can fall in love. You are twenty-five years old, but I told you to not look for foreigners. My father and I don't understand foreign languages." Huang Yue was very proud of her son. Although basically every household in the village has built a building, although their family is one of the few bungalows, the most respectable person in the village is Wei Da's family, because Wei Da is an international student and a master's student in studying abroad!
"The foreigners are not bad either. They say that mixed-race children are beautiful and smart. Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to fall in love. Men are not old until they are thirty years old." Wei Da smiled. He is basically poor now. Fell is spent money and time. Wei Da really can't talk about it now. "Where is my dad, have you gone to the field again?"
"Well, I've gone to the field to get pesticides. I'll tell you what you want to eat. I'll leave in two days. If you go there, it will probably be at least half a year. I'll pick up my luggage and say anything you want to take with me." Huang Yue kept talking about some small things. Wei Da didn't feel nagging at all. He still liked such an environment very much. He didn't feel that warmth abroad. "By the way, don't run around these days. Go to your aunt's house and uncle's house. It's not convenient for you to go back and forth abroad. Go to their place to have fun."
"Well, I know this. Mom, don't help me clean up and prepare anything. Some things can't be brought with me, such as chicken meat. If you have chicken feet, you can't be brought with me." First, I was afraid that my mother would be troubled, and second, the immunization test in the United States is really annoying, and Wei Da also reminded me again.
"I know, this American devil is really true. It's really annoying that they are not allowed to bring them here and there." Huang Yue was indeed a little unhappy and was very dissatisfied with the US quarantine policy; there were too many restrictions, which made her son unable to eat some side dishes from his hometown.
Wei Da smiled. The quarantine policy in the United States is indeed a bit troublesome, but this is also some of Wei Da's vague explanation, because he knows that once he wants to eat, his mother must be busy preparing. Wei Da has put a lot of pressure on his family in recent years. Now he does not have the ability to make his parents more relaxed and comfortable, but he definitely does not want to bother his parents in these trivial matters.
"Xiaoda, if you have any development in the United States, please stay there. I heard that the treatment in the United States is better." Wei Da's father Wei Hui suddenly mentioned that although he also hopes that his son can be with him, he hopes that his son has a greater future.
"This matter is not urgent. I haven't graduated yet. I'm going to school and watching, and stay wherever I get better." This is also the truth about Wei Da. It's not that the country is not good, but Wei Da really needs to find a better job that can make himself and his family live a better life.
"Did you buy a car there? Last time I saw some photos of you wearing, it's a Binh?" Wei Hui suddenly said excitedly. Of course, there is no computer at home, but some people in the village have one. Although Wei Da usually calls home, cross-border phone calls are really expensive, so sometimes they communicate through computer videos, and Wei Da will also send some photos of himself abroad for his parents to see.
"The bargain is like a third-hand car, and it's an old model. Don't think it's a Berthday, but cars abroad are not as high as taxes. I did some part-time jobs there, and this car was about 3,000 US dollars." Wei Da smiled. His car was indeed very cheap, after all, not a new car.
"That's amazing. My son is driving a big voyage!" Huang Yue was very proud. Many people in the village knew about this photo, because neither Huang Yue nor Wei Hui could go online, and this was also the neighbor next door who helped them open Wei Da's album.
"Okay, I won't like Big Ben anymore. When I make money, I will buy a new car. This car will be eliminated sooner or later." Wei Da didn't explain much. After all, Mercedes-Benz is considered a top luxury car in China. Being able to drive such a car can at least be considered a successful person.
"Study hard and buy a better car if you find a good job!" Wei Hui was very proud. Although some villagers often said that studying was useless, and Wei Da read a lot of books to put too much burden on the family, Wei Hui knew that it was because his son read a lot of books, so the future would be more promising.
"By the way, my mom, you can get your passport. I've been there for about half a year. No matter what, I've been there for two years. You can also go there to play. If you have money, we have money. If we don't have money, we will play poorly. If our son has been there for two years, my parents haven't even gone to the United States!" Wei Da also mentioned the old story again. Things like traveling abroad are attractive to many Chinese people. Wei Da doesn't want his parents to have any regrets, so he encouraged him again.
"Besides, let's talk about it." Wei Hui was really reluctant to let it go. The round-trip air ticket to the United States was more than 10,000 yuan, and he was really reluctant to spend this money; the moon in the United States may not be rounder than in China, so there is no need to spend that in vain.
Wei Da didn't insist too much. After all, his family still had no money, and he even owed a lot of money because he studied abroad. Therefore, Wei Da is more interested in making more money now. He doesn't want his parents to live a hard life. He wants his parents to stop calculating because of these things.
Wei Da, who was lying on the bed, looked at the jade token he picked up. He always felt that the jade token was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where it was strange. As for this jade token, he did not show off everywhere now, so he left it in his hand to take a look.
Wei Da was lying on the bed with the lights turned off, and his life would continue. He would go out in a few days. Although his life at home was very enjoyable, his vacation was over. In order to live, he still had to leave his home and go to the country on the other side of the ocean.
However, when Wei Da turned off the light, he seemed to have noticed something was wrong; the jade token placed on the head of his bed seemed to show something different at this time. Although it was basically invisible in front of him, Wei Da seemed to have seen an illusory old man with a faint luster appeared at the head of the bed.
Wei Da opened his eyes wide, and he stared at the little old man with a faint light; he quickly turned on the light again, and the old man indeed disappeared. But when Wei Da was a little excited and turned off the light again, the old man appeared again; if Wei Da hadn't accidentally discovered, the old man with a faint light might not have seen it!
Wei Da was a little excited. He seemed to have discovered an amazing secret. Wei Da, who was touching his chin, sat cross-legged on the bed, put the jade on his knees. Wei Da, who had gritted his teeth, also made up his mind and gave it a try!
On TV, there are always some secrets hidden in the book, such as watering or grilling, which can be discovered, and such jade should have some blood to recognize the master; find the scissors and poke it gently on the tip of the thumb. Wei Da felt that he was a little obsessed, but he still smiled and turned off the light; Wei Da was raising his hand, very proud, he was waiting for the old man to appear.
Sure enough, the little old man appeared, and Wei Da was excited at this time; his blood would not flow in vain. Wei Da, who knew that there must be some blood beads on his fingertips, looked at the little old man, and he was very excited to drop the blood beads on the little old man.
"Recognize your master after dropping blood! I'm so smart!" Wei Da just felt proud, but his pride did not continue. When the blood beads touched the old man, Wei Da's eyes were completely fainted.
Wei Da had a dream, and he was dizzy in the dream because there were many strange things that were constantly drilling into his head. Wei Da really had a headache, but now he was just struggling in vain. Such forced memory indoctrination still made people feel that his brain was about to explode.
According to legend, Emperor Yan invented the plow, tasted all kinds of herbs, and invented medicine, so he called Shennong. Emperor Yan made plows and planted grains, laying the foundation for agriculture and industry. As the first clan tribe of the Chinese nation to transfer from fishing and hunting to farming, Emperor Yan Shennong clan created China's agricultural culture. To plant crops in large quantities, the first thing to do is to choose suitable plant species and domesticate them to make them crop varieties, such as rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, and beans.
Eating grass to cure diseases is not unique to humans. Many animals have taken medicine to cure diseases, which shows that human ancestors had instinctively accumulated a lot of herbal knowledge a long time ago.
