In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm
Chapter 214: Preparation before the rain
Xia Qing immediately agreed, "Okay, thank you third brother. Can I send it to you now?"
Zhang San responded cheerfully, "I asked Ji Li to go and get it."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing just walked into the greenhouse when she saw a red light flash outside through the insect-proof net, and the two peanuts on the stone disappeared.
Xia Qing smiled and squatted in the field to pick peanuts for Zhang San. No matter how much a pound of selenium-rich edible peanuts costs, the five pounds of green light wheat seeds given by Zhang San are definitely enough.
With five kilograms of green light wheat, plus the three and a half kilograms of green light wheat harvested by Xia Qing in June sown, her living standard will be raised to another level next summer—eliminating yellow light wheat and only eating green light wheat!
Xia Qing sent to the northern isolation zone of Territory 3, in addition to the quantity exchanged with Zhang San, there was also a bag of slightly tender peanuts. "This bag is a bit tender and can be cooked and eaten. Give it to Brother San, Brother Ji, and Sister Yan." Let’s have a try with Brother Ya.”
Xia Qing has always been close to Territory No. 1. Ji Li didn't expect that she didn't know that Yanlong followed Yang Jin to the evolutionary forest. After taking the peanut, he thanked her and said nothing more.
After sending Ji Li away, Xia Qing returned to the high-slope planting greenhouse and saw the red squirrel returning to the tree branch outside the greenhouse, rubbing its two small front paws and staring longingly at the peanuts in the basket.
Xia Qing was happy, "You still want it?"
The little squirrel saw that Xia Qing had discovered it and fled without a trace.
Xia Qing took all the peanuts home, keeping the portion he ate, and spreading the rest on the cement roof of the warehouse to dry in the sun.
If time were not urgent, Xia Qing would have wanted to dry the peanuts on the balcony on the second floor. She could feel at ease through a layer of glass. If it is exposed to the sun on the roof, adequate protection must be provided.
Xia Qing was still worried about covering the peanuts with an iron mesh and two layers of insect-proof netting. She sprayed the smell-proof and insect-proof potion twice more and gave the sick wolf who followed him a small piece of dried meat. "Second brother, guard the peanuts here." , don’t let the birds and bugs come and cause damage, I will pick cotton.”
The sick wolf wagged its tail and happily lay down next to the peanuts to eat dried meat.
Xia Qing went downstairs with a small bag of peanuts and sent a message asking Luo Pei if he wanted to eat boiled peanuts. Although they are yellow-colored, the black-skinned peanuts are rich in selenium and have higher nutritional value than ordinary peanuts.
Luo Pei quickly replied to the message and told her that the peanuts in Territory No. 1 were also black and asked her to keep them for herself.
It seems that the peanuts in Territory No. 1 and my own territory were dug out of the same field by small animals, but I don’t know where that field is.
Xia Qing put the peanuts in the kitchen, took the bag and went to the field to pick cotton. It’s the cotton harvest season now. The cotton peaches on the cotton plant, starting from the big peach below, are splitting one after another, revealing the snow-white and soft cotton.
Xia Qing picks it every few days. So far, she has harvested more than 100 kilograms of cotton, which is enough for her. Xia Qing plans to sell the extra cotton. Next year, she will only plant a piece of green cotton, not for others. Yes, just to appreciate the flowers that change color every three days.
When picking cotton, Xia Qing also pulled out the cotton plants with few cotton bolls in the upper part. Although some yellow-light cotton plants still had small bolls on them, they were pulled out by Xia Qing because they were too close to the green-light cotton plants.
Seventy hours of rain, no less than three red-level showers, any plant may evolve, and Xia Qing doesn't want to take the risk.
Two bales of cotton were picked, but more than 300 plants were uprooted. Xia Qing removed all the leaves from the cotton plants, leaving only the bare stems with cotton bolls, and put them in the sun to dry.
In the next two days, Xia Qing picked ten yellow lantern pumpkins, two baskets of cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables, plus ten kilograms of potatoes and ten kilograms of wheat, and exchanged three large pieces of rainproof cloth with Zhong Tao, just in case. one.
After exchanging supplies, Zhong Tao reminded Xia Qing, "My sister has grown a lot of food and vegetables in the past few months. When it rains, I will save what I can in the field. If I can't, it won't be a pity to throw it away. Never do it." Injured to protect crops.”
If you are injured in the rain, you may lose your life. "I understand, Brother Tao and Brother Kui should also be careful." They are soldiers and cannot come out in the rain, but they will definitely perform guard duties in the safe zone. Xia Qing asked again, "Brother Tao, please ask the lord who has the green light soybeans, if you can exchange a pound first? I can give him two pounds of mung beans first, and wait for him to send the remaining soybeans for the remaining five pounds. I’ll deliver again.”
Zhong Tao asked, "Sister, what's going on? Are you afraid there's something wrong with the soybeans?"
Xia Qing nodded, "There are several yellow light soybeans growing in my territory. I harvested the soybeans a few days ago and found that they couldn't be chewed after cooking them for two hours. I'm afraid that his green light soybeans are also of this evolved variety."
Zhong Tao understood, "That person is not from our territory. I have to find someone to ask before I get back to you. But even if he agrees, he will have to wait until it rains before he can deliver the soybeans."
Xia Qing nodded.
Zheng Kui asked, "Are there any edible fish in the reservoir in my sister's territory? I would like to exchange one."
Zhong Tao explained cheerfully, "His wife just gave birth to a daughter for him and she is in confinement."
It is a great joy if a child can be born safely during a natural disaster. Xia Qing congratulated them first, and then said, "By coincidence, there are three male, four female and seven yellow lantern fish in my fish pond. They were just fished out this morning. I plan to keep them in the tank for a few days when it rains. I'll go get one."
Zheng Kui was overjoyed. He asked more than a dozen lords today, but he still hasn't bought it yet. He didn't expect Xia Qing to have it here. "Sister, thank you so much."
Xia Qing went home and fished out a yellow-light male fish, put it in a fresh-keeping bag with water, and brought half a pound of green-light dried meat with him, and gave it to Zheng Kui.
Green lantern dried meat is more precious than yellow lantern fish. Zheng Kui, who was not good at words, turned red with excitement. After paying the points, he kept thanking Xia Qing.
After sending Zhong Tao and Zheng Kui away, Xia Qing was about to return to the territory carrying the rainproof cloth when he was stopped by Tang Huai.
“Xia Qing, are you still raising fish? You really haven’t lost anything by yourself, I admire you, I admire you.”
Xia Qing turned around with a stinking look on her face, "Tang Huai, if you really can't stop listening to the bad habits in the corner, I can help you pierce your eardrums."
Tang Huai cursed in his heart, with a smile on his face, and continued to approach, "Are the solar panels I gave you okay?"
Although Xia Qing is a power evolver, carrying a large roll of rainproof cloth still feels heavy. She asked coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Tang Huai took two steps outside and asked in a low voice, "How is your wolf? Is it still alive?"
Tang Huai made no secret of the fact that the Sufeng team asked Xu Juan and Zhang Yong to enter the No. 3 territory with cameras. Xia Qing also lowered his voice, "Want to know?"
Tang Huai nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
I believe you, you idiot! Xia Qing gave him a thumbs up and said, "In exchange for ten green light hairy crabs."
"There's something wrong with my **** head..." Tang Huai jumped in anger, suppressed the spouting of curse words, and raised an index finger, "One at most!"
Xia Qing bargained, "Two, one male and one female, alive."
"Impossible." After Xia Qing entered the grass wall and walked away, Tang Huai angrily returned to Territory No. 2, cursing as he walked, "This **** stinky woman deserves a beating more than Tang Lu. How did she survive until now? "
