In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

Chapter 345 Vegetables must be grown

Qi Fu smiled, "If we didn't grow it ourselves, how could we buy it? Try these melon seeds. If everyone hadn't come over, my wife would be reluctant to fry them and eat them."

"Brother Qi and sister-in-law are good at planting, and the melon seeds grow bigger than those in my field." Xia Qing was really impressed and took a melon seed and ate it.

 She hadn’t eaten them for so many years that she had forgotten what fried melon seeds tasted like. She just thought they were delicious.

Xia Qing was not the only one to think so, Zhao's mother also sighed with emotion, "I never thought I would be able to eat fried melon seeds in this life."

Shi Quan asked, "Sunflower seeds can not only be fried, but also oil can be extracted. The oil we press ourselves is definitely better than the one we buy, and the oil has a longer shelf life and can be stored for several months longer than melon seeds. Brother Kuang can get an oil press. No?"

Kuang Qingwei raised his finger and pointed upward, "...the oil press has been banned. Hui Er Base will not supply our base. It is said that they are afraid that the lords will use corn to press oil and waste food."

 No need for anyone to ask, Kuang Qingwei explained why pressing corn oil will waste food.

 The oil content of corn is only 3%-4%, and it is concentrated in the germ of corn. When extracting oil, you need to break the corn kernels first to obtain the corn germ. If the germ contains a lot of impurities such as corn starch, it will not only waste food but also reduce the oil yield. Therefore, to extract corn oil, a special large-scale oil press must be used.

 Large oil presses were expensive and impossible for the lords to purchase, so the base simply banned even small household oil presses.

Zhao’s mother complained, “Even for this reason, we can’t ban the oil press. We can still press sunflower oil.”

Shi Zhong also said, "Yes, people can eat the oil cakes left after pressing sunflower oil. They can also be used to feed chickens, fish, and make fertilizer. There will be no waste at all."

Kuang Qingwei smiled bitterly, "We eat the oil extracted from yellow light sunflower seeds. Some people think it is a waste."

 In years of natural disasters, high-quality resources are monopolized by the upper class at high prices, and ordinary people at the bottom of society can only survive on compressed rations made of grass and a small amount of grain.

If the territory had not been used for farming and they had grown their own sunflower seeds, they would not have been able to afford such a precious condiment as oil.

Even after they came out to farm, the lords had materials in their hands, but they could not exchange them for green lamp and yellow lamp oil. This was not only because of the price, but also because they were simply out of stock.

They can only exchange the oil extracted from red light plant seeds after removing elements. The taste and nutritional content are not comparable to the oil squeezed from green light and yellow light seeds.

This is the most irritating part: even if the radio says that the sunflower seeds are very popular, the actual situation is that the territorial management department collects the sunflower seeds that the lords have worked hard to grow at a price of 25 points per pound, but the processed food and Oil, the lords can't buy it at all!

“Only by eating well can we improve our physical fitness, resist environmental pollution, promote physical evolution, and get rid of our status as ordinary people and become evolvers. In the past six months or so, my wife and I have improved our power evolution levels.”

Qi Fu is not lying. Although he evolved his power due to being infected with a super bug, his wife actually improved her power evolution level because of a better diet.

Xia Qing also affirmed this, "In the more than half a year since I came out, my power evolution level has also improved."

"My son is the same, and my wife and I are getting better." Shi Zhong also confirmed, "The environment is getting worse and worse, and it will become more and more difficult for ordinary people who live on compressed rations to survive. Brother Kuang, how old are you? ?”

Kuang Qingwei replied, "44, but my daughter-in-law is only 22 this year, and there is still the possibility of evolution. Now she eats all the good things in my family. We plan to wait for her to evolve before we have children."       Qi Fu also said, "My wife is 33 this year and has two years to improve her evolutionary abilities. We also plan to wait until she is 35 before having children."

Zhao’s mother also has her own plans, “My Aze is 38 years old this year, but he has married a wife and has grandchildren, so he needs to eat safe food. Someone has to inherit such a large territory, right?”

 After saying that, everyone laughed.

Before coming out of the territory, how could they have thought about this? It would be great to be alive. Farming is hard work and the risks are indeed high, but there is hope for life and they can live energetically.

 The atmosphere has improved, and now I can say things that I couldn’t say because of worries before.

Kuang Qingwei, who was well-informed, lowered his voice and said, "I heard rumors, but I may not be sure: the people from the Sufeng team who invaded territories 158 and 159 yesterday to grab food were probably the ones responsible."

"It's possible." Xia Qing also had this suspicion, "The people living in Territory 158 are military personnel, and the defense should be stricter than ours. By doing this, Sufeng can not only attack the leader of the base, but also take the opportunity to add people to the investigation team, and also It can scare the lord and collect the grain and vegetables as soon as possible. "

Zhao’s mother was also very angry, “More than half of the bad things in our base were done by Team Sufeng.”

Shi Qiang whispered, "To be honest with everyone, I just want to hand over a few kilograms of corn, and the rest will be sealed and kept in the territory. This winter, our family will not return to the safe zone, but will build a greenhouse in the territory to grow vegetables. How much can we sell?" Points aside, at least I can eat fresh green lanterns.”

 Qi Fu also nodded, "That's what we plan to do."

Zhao’s mother also said, “Zhao Ze and I want to learn how to make a greenhouse, and we will have to trouble everyone when the time comes.”

Qi Fu thought it was not difficult, "Auntie has already planted two crops. The greenhouse is just an extra fire wall and a plastic film, and everything else is the same. Zhao Ze works in engineering. Come and take a look at the greenhouse we built. You will know What happened?"

Although Xia Qing didn't speak, she had already exchanged several pieces of greenhouse plastic film, and she must have kept them in the territory.

Kuang Qingwei, who had just planned to take his wife back to the safe zone to spend the winter because of the invasion, was a little moved when he saw that they were not leaving.

 It is safe to live back home, but it will definitely not be as good as the food and spacious living in the territory.

Xia Qing spoke, "I asked Third Brother and Luo Brother, they are in the territory in winter. With Third Brother and Luo Brother here, our territory is the safest among all territories."

Once he heard what Xia Qing said, Kuang Qingwei immediately made up his mind, "The greenhouse must be built and vegetables must be grown! People in the safe zone think that we have hidden a lot of food, and they will definitely not be able to survive when we go back."

Qi Fu added, "Xia Qing is right, our place is a treasure land. We are close to No. 49 Mountain in the north, which can block the cold wind and wild beasts. Captain Tan of the investigation team is also very responsible. When encountering danger, Territory No. 1, Xia Qing and Territory No. 7 will all help, and you can get timely treatment if you are sick or injured."

Kuang Qingwei added, "There is also Territory No. 8. Xin Yu is planning to build a factory to produce bacterial powder. When there are more people in Territory No. 8, our territory will be safer. There will definitely be people left in Territory No. 12. Director Tang Kai More than five hundred acres of wasteland.”
