Data Wasteland

A few days later, in late August, the Western Wilderness entered its hottest period, with 14 hours of sunshine per day and a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius at noon.

After lunch, Chen Xing and Yeyang Bailiu went to the red berry planting area near the water station under the scorching sun. The former wears a peaked cap, the latter holds a small flower umbrella, and looks like taking a walk in the afternoon.

"Boss, it rained just a few days ago, and the berry seedlings are growing well. It is estimated that the first season's fruits will be harvested before winter." Turnip said cheerfully.

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Xing nodded in praise as he looked at a large group of half-person tall red berry trees moving slowly.

"What kind of tree is that?" Yeyang Bailiu asked curiously, pointing to the periphery of the group of trees, several orange-red saplings with two meters high.

"That is the Huoyun tree, the fruit can get angry, and a few drops can kill the white dog." Carrot said triumphantly.

Although the former's terminology is very earthy, the wise Miss Ye Yang family understood it. "Furious" means burning, and "white dog" should refer to a corpse dog.

"If it goes well, how much do you estimate this year?" Chen Xingchao asked Carrot.

"Yeah..." The radish replied, breaking his fingers and counting, "There are more than a thousand trees here, and at least they can bear two thousand kilograms of fruit."

"How much can you sell?" Chen Xing looked at Ye Yang Bailiu, who replied, "More than four hundred gold coins."

"Why it's just that." Chen Xing said somewhat unexpectedly.

"This is last year's price, and it fluctuates every year." Ye Yang Bailiu added.

"Two seasons a year, good." Turnip said with **** in both hands. "Wait for next year, get more manpower for me, and I can produce five or six tons in one season. Excluding labor and freight, after one year, it will not feed a large number of farmers. Say, there is still a small profit."

Chen Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, so to speak..." He is such a small captain, and his salary for a year is less than three hundred gold coins. Planting red berries can not only feed dozens of households, but also make money, which is already very good.

After patrolling for a while, Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu were about to leave, but Turnip chased up and stood in front of Chen Xing.

"Boss..." Turnip's face was full of smiles, and he rubbed his hands and asked Chen Xing, "Can you make arrangements for my wife's affairs?" Then he pointed to the direction of the water station, "Um... I think that Li Rou is pretty good. He has a big **** and is good for health. Can it be introduced to me as a daughter-in-law? I will definitely treat her well."

Chen Xing smiled, stepped forward and patted Turnip on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, you work hard. I'll introduce you when you get the results."

"Then dare to love it!" Turnip suddenly beamed his eyes and said excitedly, "I must work hard!"

After leaving the planting area, Yeyang Bailiu leaned over and hit Chen Xing with his shoulder. The latter staggered and asked uncomfortably, "What are you doing?"

"You really want to introduce Li Rou to him?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked with a smile.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Xing asked rhetorically.

"I think Li Rou may not agree." Ye Yang Bailiu said.

"Why don't you agree, I think the carrots are pretty good. There is an income of more than 200 gold coins in a year, and there is no danger." Chen Xing said.

On the Red Earth Continent, the annual income of the low-level mercenaries is less than two hundred gold coins, and the trick of licking blood on the knife head does not know what will happen today. As for the waiter in the restaurant, the annual income is less than 80 gold coins. In Chen Xing's view, the conditions for turnips are pretty good.

"Women don't just look at money." Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at Chen Xing and said.

"What else to look at, looks, education, status, family?" Chen Xing asked.

"Let me think about it..." Ye Yang Bailiu walked forward with his hands behind his back, thinking. After a while, she suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "These are not necessary, but at least, two people can communicate. Chat and talk, otherwise it would be boring."

"Is it like us?" Chen Xing asked with a grin.

"Begging for a fight!" Ye Yang Bailiu was startled at first, then his face flushed, and he raised his hand to fight.

Chen Xing hurriedly avoided, lest he was really beaten, and then said with a smile, "Don't tell me..." Then he broke the topic, "How about I invite you to dinner tonight?"

"Where to eat and what to eat?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked blankly.

"Shuizhan restaurant, whatever you eat." Chen Xing replied.

"Sir Captain, you are so generous!" Ye Yang Bailiu exclaimed pretentiously. They eat at the water station restaurant every day, so how can you treat them? However, in a strict sense, it is indeed Chen Xing who is inviting dinner, but only every day.

"I personally cook." Chen Xing said. The word "in person" is put particularly hard to show emphasis.

"You?" Ye Yang Bailiu put his arms around his chest, with a look of disbelief, "Do you still cook?"

"You'll know after eating it." Chen Xing said confidently. He is a man for three generations, and his cooking skills are comparable to a master chef. He hasn't been too busy lately, just to show his skills.

Back at the underground water station, he went straight to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and got busy. The cook ladies didn't expect the camp's chief to cook, so they whispered and talked.

"What the captain is doing?" "Cooking~" "The captain used to be a cook, right? Chopping vegetables so finely." "Look at this posture, what about the experts."

Due to limited ingredients in the fringe areas, Chen Xing only cooked one dish-a pot stew at the farmhouse.

Marinate the canned meat and smoked pork leg with green onion, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, etc., and then stir-fry until the surface is golden. Then put it in the water, add dried chili, star anise, cinnamon, soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, cook for half an hour, then add the cut corn, lumpy potatoes and fresh mushrooms.

About two hours later, a pot of hot, fragrant corn, mushroom and potato stew came out.

"Can this food be eaten?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked uncertainly. Although it smells very good, there is everything in the pot and it's sloppy, which is not flattering.

"Try it and you'll know." Chen Xing said.

"What if you have diarrhea?" Ye Yang Bailiu questioned.

"Then don't eat." Chen Xing said irritably, having been busy for more than two hours, and still detested him.

Ye Yang Bailiu hesitated, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a small piece, and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah!" Ye Yang Bailiu's eyes lit up as soon as he took a bite. The meat has a rich aroma, slightly sweet and spicy flavor, and is very delicious.

"How about it, okay?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.

Ye Yang Bailiu didn't answer, he reached out and clamped another piece. After eating, she put her chopsticks aside, looked at Chen Xing, and said seriously, "Captain Chen Xing, you are very delicious and worthy of praise."

"Do you want to eat every day in the future?" Chen Xing then tempted.

"Yes." Ye Yang Bailiu said flatly.

"Then it depends on your performance." Chen Xing said meaningfully.

Ye Yang Bailiu gave him a glance, did not speak, and continued to eat.
