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

Chapter 352 Territory No. 1 Food Storage Warehouse

 The meeting place for the members of the Lords Alliance is still in Territory No. 5.

After everyone gathered, Xia Qing announced the good news first, "Brother Luo agreed that we should put the harvested vegetables and grains into the food storage warehouse in Territory No. 1. The price and requirements are the same as those in the safe area storage warehouse, but we can go there and pick them up once a week." food."

The lords who thought they had to pay a price higher than the safe zone price to store food in Territory No. 1 were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xia Qing continued, "The dimensions of the shelves in the storage warehouse in Territory 1 are two meters long, one meter wide, and two meters high, with a total of five floors. Everyone will figure out how many shelves we need in total now. I'll go back Then you have to report it to Captain Hu.”

The monthly storage fee for a storage shelf in a food storage warehouse is 150 points. Of course, you have to calculate the usage and arrange the food reasonably.

Erdao dealer Kuang Qingwei took out his mobile phone and calculated skillfully, "This is a standard-sized shelf. Each layer can hold six standard grain bags. One shelf is thirty bags of grain. Let's calculate how many bags of grain you have to put in it."

Shi Quan asked, "The grains we can store include wheat, rice, mung beans and corn. We probably don't have much wheat left, and about a hundred rice plants can't yield many kilograms, so the most are mung beans and corn. Brother Kuang , How many kilograms can a standard bag hold?”

Kuang Qingwei asked Qi Fu, "Brother Qi, I only know that a standard grain bag can hold 120 kilograms of wheat. Mung beans and corn should be heavier than wheat, right?"

Qi Fu, who has extensive farming experience, replied, "No. Wheat is the heaviest. A grain bag that can hold 120 kilograms of wheat should hold about 115 kilograms of corn, 100 kilograms of mung beans, and 90 kilograms of rice."

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Qi Fu explained with a smile, "Before the natural disaster, the two of us were in the transportation business, often transporting grain and vegetables. The bags containing grain at that time were of this size."

Zhao’s mother didn’t understand and asked, “Rice is actually the lightest?”

Qi Fu explained, "Rice without hulling is light. After hulling and making rice, one bag can hold nearly 130 kilograms. However, rice is processed food. If you don't use this kind of bag, you should use 10 kilograms, 20 kilograms or 50 kilograms. sales packaging bags.”

Kuang Qingwei wrote down the number of pounds Qi Fu said, "According to the number given by Brother Qi, let's calculate how many bags of grain we can pack."

Although the second crop of mung beans has not yet been dried, everyone has the planting or harvesting experience of the first crop. Everyone can quickly calculate their own yields. The yield of late-sown corn can also be calculated based on the yield of early-sown corn that has been bagged. .

 Soon, the lords reported their numbers.

During summer sowing, everyone had the same amount of corn seeds—two catties given by Luo Pei and two catties exchanged with the Territory Management Department.

 The same number of seeds were sown, but the difference in yield was not huge: 5 bags for Qi Fu, 4 bags for Xia Qing and Shi Quan, 3 bags for Kuang Qingwei, and 2 bags for Zhao Mu.

 The difference in the number of mung beans put into the storage bin is huge. Because the number of acres of mung beans planted in each territory is different, the difference is due to the different yields of mung beans in the first crop. Therefore, the kilograms of mung beans that can be planted in the second crop are different, and the number of acres planted is also different.

 The one who put in the most mung beans was still Qi Fu, who deposited 10 bags, Kuang Qingwei 7 bags, Shi Quan 4 bags, Zhao Mu 3 bags, and Xia Qing, who put in the least, only 1 bag.

 Coupled with the wheat and rice put into the storage warehouse by the five territories, there are 52 bags in total, and both shelves are not full.

Xia Qing, who built his own storage room, is very familiar with the differences in storage temperature and humidity of different foods. He suggested, "The storage warehouse is isolated from the elements and the temperature and humidity are constant. Let's not waste space. The remaining eight bags of space are You can put dried vegetables, dried pumpkins, dried meat, etc. I don’t have much, so I can just put it in the territory. Let’s see how much you want to put in.”

 Speaking of dried wild vegetables, Zhao’s mother straightened her waist immediately because she had dried a lot of wild vegetables. There are quite a few in the other three territories, so one territory is simply divided into two bags.

 The next step is the shelves in the vegetable storage warehouse. Although we grow a lot of vegetables in our land, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and beans are mostly grown. These vegetables are out of season, and the harvested vegetables are either made into dried vegetables or exchanged for patrol teams.

 After much discussion, we decided that we only need half a vegetable shelf to store root vegetables that need to be planted, such as radishes, onions, Jerusalem artichokes, garlic and ginger. Because the five members of the lord alliance will stay in the territory to plant greenhouses, there will be no shortage of fresh vegetables in winter.

 Because seeds are scarce, everyone only has a few radishes and a dozen onions. Even counting tomato, cucumber and other vegetable seeds that need to be planted, they do not take up half of the vegetable shelf. The remaining space is used for sweet potatoes.

 Everyone has high hopes for Xia Qing’s sweet potatoes and wants to exchange some sweet potato seeds with her.

Xia Qing feels that the current transaction is not cost-effective. "On the Lord's material transaction list led by Captain Zhong, several territories have offered sweet potatoes for trade. I estimate that next spring the Territory Management Department will sell potato seeds or seedlings at a preferential price, and the price should be able to drop." Quite a lot, you can exchange it with me when the time comes."

 There is no doubt that everyone disagrees. Qi Fu suggested, "After using Sange's soil insecticide, sweet potatoes are easy to manage and the yield is high. Everyone can grow more sweet potatoes."

Kuang Qingwei first told Xia Qing, "Yes, I also want to grow a variety of sweet potatoes next year. Sweet potatoes can be made into a variety of foods and sold, which is more cost-effective. Sister, I will definitely buy your sweet potato seeds."

 “Me too.” Shi Zhong and others followed suit.

Xia Qing’s sweet potatoes have green and yellow lights, and those sold by the Lord Management Department must have yellow lights. Although the seeds of green lanterns are expensive, the risk of evolution is low, and the sweet potatoes grown are sold at a high price.

Xia Qing agreed, "As long as the sweet potatoes taken out of the storage bin next spring do not spoil, I can exchange them for each person with two green-light sweet potatoes and two to four yellow-light sweet potatoes."

　　Previously on the lord channel, Xia Qing said that she only managed to grow more than 20 sweet potatoes from cuttings. She was able to exchange so many sweet potatoes, and everyone was already very satisfied.

Qi Fu, the only person who had ever entered the greenhouse in Territory No. 3 and knew how many sweet potatoes Xia Qing had grown, was also extremely happy.

He mentally calculated roughly how many seedlings six sweet potatoes could grow in the spring and how many sweet potato cuttings he could cut in the summer. If he was unhappy, he was not a real farmer!

 As for how many sweet potatoes Xia Qing has, that is her business. Qi Fu was very grateful that she was willing to exchange it.

  After Kuang Qingwei calculated the points that each lord should pay based on the proportion of food stored in each territory, the main topic of today's meeting ended.

Qi Fu said with a smile, “I feel at ease now that I have a safe place to store food.”

Who says it’s not the case? Everyone shared each other’s joy and thanked Xia Qing for being the matchmaker.

Xia Qing is also very happy, because after being able to store the output of the fields in Territory No. 1, no one will think that there is still food in her territory, and the security of the territory has increased.

 Others thought her territory was empty, but in fact, she still had some grain and a large amount of chestnuts, pecans, pine nuts, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, dried meat hidden in her underground storage room...

 What could be more satisfying than hiding food?

 If there is, then there is more food hidden!

 After discussing grain storage, everyone talked about fertilizers and sowing. This is also the topic that Xia Qing is most concerned about today.
