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

Chapter 99 Choose a kitten

When Xia Qing's territory left the safe zone in mid-February, he received six kilograms of mung beans from the mission hall. Due to low germination rate and rain and other losses, there are now 4,250 edible mung beans left, and most of them have yellow lights and only green lights. Twenty-seven plants.

 The first batch of mung bean pods have finally matured, and it’s time to enjoy the fruits of labor. Not only Zhang San wants to eat mung bean paste, but Xia Qing also wants to eat it.

Xia Qing grabbed a large handful of yellow light mung beans and boiled them. After the soup changed color, he poured out half of it and let the sheep dry. Then he put rock sugar in the pot, lowered the heat to low, and kept stirring with a spoon until the mung beans were cooked. Out of the sand.

 After having the territory, Xia Qing's quality of life has gone up to a higher level than in the safe zone; after having a private training ground of more than 10,000 acres, Xia Qing's life has gone up to a higher level.

Although she would be injured more or less every time she went to the training ground, and she never had any bruises on her body, but every time, she would come out with hunting supplies.

 Stay the edible prey, and exchange the inedible ones with Zhong Tao or the Qinglong Team for supplies to improve your life.

 Rock sugar, casseroles and new smokeless stoves were all Xia Qing's recent exchange for hunting supplies.

 Next month, her quality of life will be improved to another level. Because next month, she will be able to eat flour ground from the wheat she grew herself!

“Boss, come and taste the fruits of your labor.” After the mung bean paste and mung bean soup had cooled down, Xia Qing called the sheep boss over to drink the soup.

 Lao Sheep is always positive when it comes to eating, and Jie Ziyin responded by running over.

The mung bean soup tastes good, and Mr. Yang likes it very much; the mung bean paste is sweet to the core, and Xia Qing likes it very much.

While tasting the fruits of labor, Xia Qing thanked Mr. Yang, "This is the fruit of the mung bean vines that Mr. Yang watered every day. Thank you, Mr., for allowing me to eat such delicious mung bean paste."

 The old sheep who drank the soup enjoyed it very much, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

 Such delicious food, of course you should eat it often.

According to Li Si’s guide, mung beans have improved cold and heat resistance after evolution. They can grow normally at temperatures between 10 and 35 degrees, and the growth cycle is about 95 days. The temperature at Huisan base will not drop below 10 degrees until the end of October, so it is completely possible to plant another crop.

 She has more than 2,000 acres of arable land, and it is easy to grow mung beans. She can grow as much as she wants.

Xia Qing counted carefully. Now there are 3 to 9 pod-bearing poles on each mung bean seedling in the field, 1 to 5 pods on each pole, and 6 to 14 mung beans in each pod. This is the result of what she planted according to the guidance of "Planting Encyclopedia", Broadcasting and Qi Fu.

 Li Si's "Guide" states that if she follows her cultivation techniques, each evolved mung bean can produce at least 30 pods, with each pod containing at least 10 beans.

 Even if it is impossible to fully meet the cultivation and management techniques required in the "Guide", most Xia Qing can do it. The increase in mung bean production in the second crop is a certainty.

 This is too tempting for Xia Qing.

If all the mung beans produced on the twenty-seven green light mung bean seedlings are planted into the terraces on the hillside planting area, in three months she will not only be free of mung bean paste, but also be able to supply mung bean paste to her idols.

 It is enough to grow yellow light mung beans in a standard shed. It is true that the field should not be empty, but one cannot tie oneself to the field just to keep the field from being empty. Training to improve abilities is more important than growing a variety of food, because she does not have enough ability to protect her territory. No matter how much food she grows, it is only for other people or animals.

 After Xia Qing finished eating the mung bean paste, he went to choose a farmland to grow mung beans.

 The "Guide" says that you cannot replant mung beans in the ground where they were pulled out. This kind of planting is called continuous cropping, also called repeated cropping. Repeated cropping will increase the risk of fungal diseases in the plants and reduce the yield, so a new piece of land needs to be selected.

 For planting mung beans, choose sandy soil with higher terrain and a soil layer thickness of no less than 30 centimeters. Xia Qing is no longer a novice in farming. She knows that most of the soil in her territory is sandy loam, followed by sandy soil. The sandy loam soil has good fertility, so her crops grow well.

Xia Qing chose an open space south of the reservoir, not far from the sweet potato fields. Crops are planted more concentratedly to facilitate care, irrigation, and insect control.

 After selecting the farmland, Xia Qing immediately started weeding and leveling the field.

 After farming, Xia Qing deeply realized the vitality of wild grass. The yield and survival rate of wild grass seeds are very high, and they do not rely on human sowing. They can spread their seeds anywhere with the help of wind, water or animals. As long as there is a little soil and a little moisture, it can take root and sprout.

 After the second rain, she had cleared, plowed, and burned the land with fire to kill grass roots and grass seeds. Within half a month, another layer of grass grew in the ground.

Xia Qing didn't have time to test the grass's chemical element content, so he pulled them all out and threw them aside to dry, and then burned them into ashes for fertilizer.

 After reading Li Si's "Guide", Xia Qing learned that potassium is the most important element in plant ash, followed by phosphorus and calcium. The contents of plant ashes burned from different types of plants are not the same.

An evolved mung bean can use decomposed animal manure, plant ash and kang soil. The total amount of fertilizer required for one acre of land is as high as two thousand kilograms!

Xia Qing’s current fertilizer options are plant ash, vermicompost and crab shell fertilizer. The total amount of these three is less than 2,000 kilograms.

 After farming, Xia Qing realized the importance of fertilizer, and she tried her best to make organic fertilizer.

 The manure of the sheep boss is fermented to make green light plant manure, the grass is dried and burned into grass ash, and the grass without insect eggs in the shed is added with bacteria to ferment into leaf rot fertilizer.

Xia Qing regretted not taking advantage of No. 9 assistant Xiao Liu to go online to trade a few more bags of bacterial powder with Li Si. Because after Shrewd Liu went online, the price of materials traded with No. 9 Place increased several times.

It has been more than ten days since the cotton was topdressed with crab shell fertilizer. Although there was no obvious change, the cotton plants did not wither or burn to death, so Xia Qing asked Zhong Tao for another two thousand kilograms.

The evolved white-haired chicken vine was about to be bald by her, so in this transaction, Xia Qing used yellow light mung beans that were about to mature. In addition to crab shell fertilizer, Xia Qing also reached a third vermicompost transaction with Sun Zhe, which is used to sow corn, rice and various vegetables.

 By July, she will be able to get her kittens and chicks back, and there will be more fermented organic manure available.

 No, free-range evolved cats will bury their feces when they are convenient, and cannot collect them for fertilizer.

Xia Qing took out the notepad on her phone and counted carefully. She found that her kitten was nineteen days old and she would soon get it back.

  What does an evolved kitten look like over half a month old? Xia Qing's hands and heart itched, and she wanted to ask her idol for a photo of a kitten.

Until now, Xia Qing only knows that Zhang San’s evolved cat gave birth to two kittens. As for the breed, color, male and female, she doesn’t know anything about them.

 Zhang San is indeed a high-quality idol. He can think about what fans think and worry about their worries.

After Xia Qing plowed and raked the mung bean field deeply and set up an insect-proof net shed, Zhang San took the initiative to contact Xia Qing and asked her and Hu Xiufeng to go to the northern isolation zone of Territory 7 to select cats at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

 After receiving the news, Xia Qing was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night. In her dreams, she was choosing cats, chasing cats, being scratched by cats, and being bitten by cats.

That's true: it runs away, she chases it, and it can't fly without its wings.

At 9:30 a.m. the next day, Xia Qing carried the dried fish prepared yesterday and met the equally excited Hu Xifeng at the northern isolation zone of Territory 3, rushing to Territory 7.
