Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa
Chapter 45 Oh my God, there is fruit
But when Lin Xiao dug out the entire fruit, she was no longer calm.
It's short and fat, with a slightly yellowish skin. Although it's ridiculously big, if you make it smaller, it's basically a local melon.
It is one of the fruits that can be eaten whole after peeling. The flesh is white, sweet and crisp, and has a light fragrance. The sweetness is moderate and not cloying.
The whole melon I saw at this time was slightly larger than a pumpkin, weighing at least thirty pounds by visual inspection.
The most important thing is that it is fruit.
Is she qualified to use fruit? Jiang Yuan was sad and moved, and her emotions were so complicated that it was difficult to express in words.
She didn't speak for a while, and Lin Xiao cut a piece with a fruit knife, peeled it and handed it to her.
Being able to eat fruit, the feeling of happiness is beyond words.
When you take a bite, it is so tender and juicy that you feel like you are eating something rare.
"You should try it too, it's delicious."
Jiang Yuan was so spineless that she drooled and took big bites. Then she found Lin Xiao staring at her, feeling embarrassed, so she took the fruit knife from his hand and cut a piece for him.
You can take it slow when working or something, but you have to enjoy it first to be worthy of your hard work, right?
The two of them cut off piece after piece, but their appetites were so big that after weighing one kilogram, it was as if they had not eaten the large potato.
"As far as I know, this kind of soil melon comes in bunches. It's impossible to have just one. How about we find this kind of leaves and dig some more?"
It's a rare fruit, and it won't spoil easily.
"If there is food, of course you have to dig it."
Who would let food rot in the ground?
Then the two of them were full of energy. Lin Xiao worked hard to dig, and Jiang Yuan dug out pig hay while marking the places with leaves.
I worked in this place all afternoon, drinking water, eating dried meat and rice balls.
In the end, we harvested more than 100 pieces of pig liver grass, weighing about 120 kilograms.
The yield of soil melons was astonishing. I dug more than a dozen pits and found a total of nine large and small ones, which added up to two hundred and sixty kilograms.
Jiang Yuan looked excited.
It's just that it's not realistic to carry it back like this. Lin Xiao can bear more than two hundred kilograms, but Jiang Yuan's one hundred kilograms is already the limit.
For the first time, she was troubled by the amount of food she found.
In the end, there was nothing they could do, so they thought of Wang Hu, who was closest to here, and contacted him immediately.
"This is our blessed place."
Call Wang Hu to help, this area will be exposed.
Jiang Yuan originally thought that she could come here every once in a while to collect them. After all, the entire land is under high-intensity radiation, and there are really not many pure lands where food can grow like this one.
"This place is far from our home. Maybe we can share resources with Brother Wang. His home is very close to here. In the future, he can also come here to dig herbs and soil melons. We will pay us a little information each time."
After all, the two of them alone have limited capabilities.
And in Lin Xiao's opinion, Wang Hu is a generous and enthusiastic person who is worth making friends with.
To put it another step back, if he wanted to drink their water, it would be impossible for him to have a quarrel with their family.
"It can only be the."
It's really hard to find a place like this, so she couldn't bear to share it like this.
Soon, Wang Hu appeared.
Because Lin Xiao said that he found a lot of food, he specially carried a backpack that was about the same height as him.
"Dear me, are you two so lucky?"
When Wang Hu saw the melons all over the ground, his eyes lit up, and then, acting on his body's instinct, he began to swallow wildly.
As a hunter, he has no shortage of meat, but that is fruit. Except for people in the safe zone who eat fruit, who in the slums has such a fate?
Even if I find it by chance, I will exchange it for rice.
Having enough food is king, who cares about the taste?
"Brother Wang, let's take two back. I'll ask you to carry the rest back. Then take six to the exchange and exchange them for coarse grains. The other one will be given to Brother Wang to taste, okay?"
She would like to keep them all, but now her family is very poor and there is no refrigerator, so they cannot be stored for a long time. It is better to replace them with coarse grains. With these coarse grains, she should be able to earn enough to build a house.
Because Lin Xiao said that fruits are of high value, many nobles in the safe zone have a great demand for fruits, and there were even times when ten pounds of rice were exchanged for one pound of apples.
The value of soil melons is not as good as apples, but it is estimated that if replaced with whole grains, the value will be almost five to one.
Six soil melons are calculated as one hundred and eighty kilograms, and the coarse grains are about nine hundred kilograms, and the wages and land money are all there.
Land and workers in slums are very cheap, isn’t there a saying? Poor people's time is worthless.
Wang Hu was so happy that he said on the spot that he would keep three melons and give them corresponding coarse grains according to the exchange price on the exchange.
Jiang Yuan also kindly reminded him that it could not be kept for so long.
"I have a refrigerator at home, don't be afraid, hehe, and I eat a lot."
Just kidding, he couldn't eat fruit more than once a year, but now that he had it, he had to keep as much as possible.
Well, Jiang Yuan was short-sighted. She thought everyone was like her family, which didn't even have a refrigerator.
"Brother Wang, we found the soil melon in this area. You can come over and have a look in the future, as well as these herbs. The radiation received in this place is very small, and it is almost edible..."
Then Jiang Yuan endured her heartache. Instead of waiting for Wang Hu to come, she might as well propose it first and still appear generous.
"You... are not suitable. You all discovered it."
Although he said this, Wang Hu's eyes lit up.
Doesn't this mean that he has a private small orchard?
But then again, I've been around here for so long, why didn't I find such a good place?
"Okay, since you are so enthusiastic, I won't refuse. I will be your big brother from now on. Come to me anytime if you have anything. We will share the fruits here equally."
Wang Hu immediately patted his chest and expressed.
This couple is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
In all my life, I have never seen such a generous and cheerful person.
"It's getting late today. You go back early and come to my house tomorrow afternoon. I will take you to a good place."
Since they had shared generously, he should express his gratitude as well.
Then they parted ways.
Lin Xiao carried all the herbs, weighing nearly two hundred kilograms, and Jiang Yuan carried two melons.
It was another fruitful day.
As soon as she got home, Jiang Yuan couldn't wait to share the cut melon she had cut today with her two little ones. Each of them took a piece and they ate it crunchily.
"When we build a new house in the future, we will use the points to exchange for a refrigerator so that these fruits can be stored longer."
"Sister-in-law, didn't you plant peach trees and apple trees? We will definitely be able to eat fruits every day in the future."
Lin Qian's soft and waxy body fell on Jiang Yuan, looking at her with admiration.
From now on, I will be as capable as my sister-in-law.
