Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

After a period of experimentation and exploration. Xiang Chi discovered that the maturity cycles of crops grown in the space vary greatly depending on the type.

Vegetables and fruits ripen significantly faster than grains. Leafy greens and creepers such as lettuce, radishes, strawberries, pumpkins, and tomatoes can be harvested in just five days.

Cereals such as corn and wheat and potatoes take about thirty days to mature.

The longest ripening cycle is for sweet potatoes and various beans, which take a full forty-five days.

The two adjusted their planting plan.

The area planted with various vegetables and fruits has been reduced to only half an acre, and the other one and a half acres is used to grow sweet potatoes and beans.

Later, the two acres of land reclaimed were planted with staple foods such as corn, wheat, and rice.

After nearly two months of hard work, the two of them transformed from farming novices into farming masters.

The renovation of the house is also nearing completion, and the newly renovated basement has been ventilated and dried over the past few days.

When Xu Ge designed the basement, he designed two entrances and exits for safety reasons. One is set under the indoor stairs, and the other exit is set in the corner of the garage.

When we renovated the fence, we were blocked by the property management on the grounds that it would destroy the unity of the overall style of the community.

The Biliu Community where the two of them live is a relatively famous high-end community in Dan City.

There are more than thirty townhouses and a dozen single-family houses like theirs.

There is not only a large artificial lake, but also a community park. There are many pavilions in the community and the scenery is beautiful.

The two communicated with the property management several times and compromised. After all, from the perspective of the property management, the recent decoration style of his home was indeed incompatible with the community.

Other people’s yards have either rockery, fish ponds, fountains, or sunshade pavilions with flowers and green plants.

His bare yard was filled with piles of bricks and tiles, the dark door had no decoration at all, and there were rows of guardrail gun tips shining coldly on the wall, which was devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

The owner of your house has the final say on what to do in the yard, and the management has no control over it. But now they want to build the fence to a height of three meters, and the management will definitely not agree.

In the end, the two of them decided to leave the wall alone for the time being, and wait until they find a suitable opportunity to heighten and reinforce it later.

The renovation of the house here has been completed, and their wallets have also bottomed out.

They never expected that building a basement with only 50 square meters would cost a total of 130,000 yuan!

Fortunately, the design of the house in Biliu Community complies with the standards for building a basement. Otherwise, you would not be able to dig even if you wanted to.

On this day, after finishing his last day of work, Xiang Chi packed up his personal belongings and waved goodbye to his colleagues in the office.

Xue Can helped carry a cardboard box and walked to the underground parking lot with Xiang Chi.

After putting the things in the trunk, Xue Can asked with concern:

"Why did you resign? You just left. It was too sudden. Did something happen?"

Xiang Chi explained with a smile.

"Didn't it be said on the Internet a few years ago that life is not just about the present, but also about poetry and distant places? I suddenly had an epiphany and wanted to write poetry in distant places!"

Xue Can rolled his eyes at Xiang Chi and said seriously:

"If you don't want to say it, I won't ask. If anything happens in the future, don't forget that I'm here. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Xiang Chi hugged Xue Can emotionally.

Xiang Chi: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you if something happens and ask you to go shopping in a few days."

Sitting in the car, looking at Xue Can walking slowly away, Xiang Chi sighed, feeling a little lost.

She has been working here for six years since graduating from college.

In these six years, although there have been bitterness and tears, there has been more laughter and growth.

Lao Wu, who never leaves his cup of tea; Shanshan, who is sharp-tongued and heart-warming; Wang Na, who always comes to visit from the accounting department next door; and the second aunt, who expresses disbelief at her resignation.

There is also Xue Can. Apart from her best friend Han Dongdong, whom she has known for more than ten years, she is his best friend.

Their faces seemed to flash before my eyes, and the scenes from the past were still vivid in my mind.

Except for Xue Can and Ergu, I wonder if there will be any chance to meet other colleagues in the future.

Xiang Chi suddenly felt a little reluctant to give up.

When he got home, Xu Ge had already prepared the meal.

While the two were eating, they discussed how to spend the upcoming National Day holiday.

This may be the last unburdened trip for the two of them. After all, in half a year, when the end comes, how to live will be the first priority.

If I want to go out for fun in the future, I don’t know how long it will take.

After taking out the map and looking at it for a while, they finally decided to drive to Hong Kong City by themselves.

For the two people who grew up inland, they both have an obsession with the sea. During their honeymoon, they chose to go to the sea market.

I stayed there for twenty days. I originally planned to visit five or six cities, but my plan was disrupted because I stayed in Haishi for too long. In the end, I only went to two places, Mountain City.

Although the port city is in the north, it is a coastal city.

Because of its unique geographical location, the port city is not only a tourist resort, but also an important outlet for North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China, and a national comprehensive transportation hub.

It has a mild climate and is known as the most beautiful coastal city and the most livable city in the north.

After driving for six or seven hours, we finally arrived in Hong Kong City. After navigating to the hotel and checking in, it was already past six in the afternoon.

In the hotel room, after putting the suitcases away, Xiang Chi couldn't wait to open the balcony door.

The sea breeze carrying some moisture blew gently. I stood on the balcony and looked out. I saw clusters of waves lapping at the rocks in the distance, and a few seabirds flew by from time to time.

The sun was slowly setting, and its dazzling light seemed to be covered with a veil, rendering the blue water into an attractive orange-red. This kind of beauty is breathtaking.

The two of them were quietly enjoying the beautiful sunset on the beach. Suddenly, Xiang Chi said:

"It's so beautiful. It looks like salted egg yolk. Husband, I'm hungry. I want to eat salted duck eggs!"

The quiet atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant. Xiang Chi looked up at Xu Ge who was holding him, and the two laughed together.

Went downstairs to the hotel's buffet restaurant, and there actually was salted duck eggs!ヾ(≧?≦*)ヾ

The sea duck egg cut in half looks delicious with its red oil.

I ate a steamed egg with sea cucumber, two oysters with garlic sauce, scallops with vermicelli and steamed conch. I also finished two crab roe buns, a salted duck egg and a small bowl of seafood porridge.

Xiang Chi put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, touched his round belly and smacked his lips.

Xiang Chi: "To eat seafood, you have to come to the beach. It's fresh."

Xu Ge also enjoyed the meal.

"That's right, as the old saying goes, you live on the mountain and live on the sea. Let's buy some more and take them away before we leave."

Xiang Chi nodded in agreement.

After eating, the two got up and walked out, deciding to go to the beach to eat.

The two people walked slowly on the beach with the sea breeze blowing.

After walking around a rocky beach, I turned a corner and saw a few lights not far ahead, as well as a few calls and laughter from time to time.

Curious, I walked forward and found that there were many tourists rushing to the sea.

The two of them also joined in the fun, bought a small bucket and shovel from a roadside stall, and joined the army.
