Chapter 428 - Broken Cauldron
To confirm what was going on, they would have to plant the grains again and check if the grains grew like that again. However, they did not have a second planting season this year.
Another solution was to go talk to Ji Ju and see what the old man planted.
No matter what the Thousand Grain Gold looked like, no one doubted that it was special. Which regular grain could attract such a huge commotion? The entire harvest process had been chaos.
“We’ll cook some and check its properties,” said Shao Xuan.
To them, the grains were the most useful as food. Eating it would determine if they were good or bad for the body, if they were beneficial or toxic. Although that was not an accurate conclusion, it was enough. Especially the shamaness who specialised in herbs and Quan Bia from Taihe, eating the grains would tell them a lot about the plant.
Shao Xuan peeled the husk off a hundred and fifteen grains, all the husk placed into a clay container for the shamaness to study later. The grains were then put into a clay Ding cauldron by the shamaness. She used this especially for boiling medicine. This time, just for the grains, she had deliberately cleaned the cauldron and prepared it here, even picking out the best firewood.
Since Shao Xuan’s house was too small to fit everyone, plus there was a lingering smell of bird poop, they moved to an empty warehouse. Zheng Luo personally cleared the space for them.
