Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 382 Daily Wasteland Collection (10)
"Hey, let's rent a car next time we have time. It's convenient to have a car."
It is better than walking or taking the bus. They can even go wherever they want without considering the time and distance, and they don’t have to worry about not being able to bring back too many supplies.
Shen Yu hummed softly, "Mom, those cars are the treasures of the base. Even the patrol team may not be able to drive them out," let alone them.
Just because Cheng Qi is capable doesn’t mean the Shen family has connections, so he should just follow the crowd.
After hearing this, Song Ling slapped Shen Yu in anger, "Do you know how to talk, kid?" She did this on purpose to make her angry.
Shen Yu: ...
Shen Yu pouted and looked aggrieved, thinking that he couldn't even tell the truth, his mother was really hard to please.
Shen Jiancheng leaned over and pulled Song Ling, "How about we go to the sweet potato farm in the north of the city?
There should be some sweet potatoes that have not been harvested yet, and the sweet potato leaves can be eaten, too." They would not lose out even if they only picked the sweet potato leaves.
Song Ling was stunned. "Sweet potato garden? Is there anyone who dares to go there? They said there are wild boars there."
There were rumors coming out of the base earlier, and then they became more and more widespread, and no one went there anymore.
Sweet potatoes are the second most precious food after the base’s staple food. They are filling and delicious. Who wouldn’t want to dig some back?
Moreover, the mutated sweet potatoes are large in size, have a very high starch content, and have a considerable flour yield.
Thinking of the roasted sweet potatoes and vermicelli used in stewed meat last winter, Song Ling licked her lips and her heart was moved.
"Let's go and take a look. At worst we can run back if there is any danger." Anyway, the sweet potato garden is large, with a wide view as far as the eye can see. If there is any disturbance, they can escape in time.
After deciding on their destination for today, the family of four ran to the north gate of the city to catch the bus.
There were still a lot of people in the car, but most of them were not at the sweet potato garden, but were all running to a place called Heishangou in front of the sweet potato garden.
"There are small wild animals in the Black Mountain Valley, and everyone goes there to hunt."
Song Ling watched the bus leave and whispered to Shen Yao.
Shen Yao looked up and saw only the exhaust fumes from the car, which were choking just by the smell.
"Heishangou is not that dangerous. I heard from Cheng Qi that their patrol team goes there every few days." All the medium and large wild beasts have become the ghosts under the patrol team's wooden warehouse. This has led to Heishangou being popular among ordinary people, and it usually occupies the top few most popular collection points in the base.
They came out too late today and those who were going to Heishangou had already arrived.
“Let’s not talk about that anymore, let’s go to the sweet potato garden in front and take a look at the situation.
The soil geology here is good, very suitable for the growth of mutant sweet potatoes. "Unfortunately, mutant wild boars often appear, especially when the sweet potatoes are ripe.
They can only come here to pick up a bargain now, whether they can get it depends entirely on fate.
Shen Yao skillfully walked through the weed-covered sweet potato garden, looking around inch by inch.
After making sure that there were no sweet potato leaves, Shen Yao immediately moved to the next garden area, trying to fill the backpack before the weather got hot.
bang——
There was a lump of earth under her feet, and Shen Yao accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.
The backpack and the tools inside were all thrown out. Shen Yao was confused for two seconds before he stood up and looked at the things wrapped around his feet.
It was a bunch of sweet potato leaves. I had been thinking about it for a while, and then I met the real thing.
He reached out and pulled down the sweet potato leaves, then turned on his watch to check it.
In the end, Shen Yao collected eight palm-sized leaves and ten stems tied together into a handful.
Putting them all into the backpack, Shen Yao stood up and started digging at the place where the sweet potato leaves appeared.
The black soil was dug up, revealing basketball-sized sweet potatoes.
Unfortunately, after all the effort to dig it out, it turned out to be inedible after testing.
Shen Yao:......
OK
It is impossible to eat sweet potatoes this big. They must be the ones that slipped through the net and were not harvested in time during the cold season. The entire sweet potato garden is too large, so it is not realistic to dig it up thoroughly.
Besides, there were rumors about wild boars last year. Other plantations are much safer than this one. As long as people are not too stupid, they will tend to choose this one.
Hey Yo Hey Yo
Shen Yao did not give up and continued to dig hard, trying to dig out the sweet potatoes for testing.
After bad luck comes good luck. Shen Yao harvested two small sweet potatoes, each a size larger than an adult's fist, from this bunch of sweet potato leaves.
Slightly mutated, edible.
With the goods in the backpack, Shen Yao was in a good mood and continued to look for the next bunch.
Perhaps it was a good start, Shen Yao quickly found another sweet potato leaf.
It was hidden quite tightly, but the lush green leaves could not block Shen Yao's eyes at all.
Shen Yao provided all-in-one service, including pulling out the weeds and digging the soil, and filled the backpack beside her to the brim.
After sending them to Shen Jiancheng and asking him to put the sweet potatoes in a sack, Shen Yao raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face and said, "Dad, why don't we ask Cheng Qi if we can hire a car?"
The harvest from the sweet potato garden was more than they had expected. If they continued digging, they might not be able to take it away.
Wasting food is very painful for them. Although Shen Yao has not been here for long, she has already perfectly integrated into the current environment.
Want Shen Yao to give up the food in front of her and go back early? That's a dream.
Shen Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Just ask, and reveal some information appropriately. Xiao Cheng is not an outsider." He is about to become the son-in-law of the Shen family, and they are family. This sweet potato garden is not privately owned by the Shen family. It would be better to be generous so that they can get along well in the future.
Shen Yao nodded, turned around, took a photo with her watch and sent it to Cheng Qi.
There are not many chat records between the two of them, and basically everything they can say is said face to face.
So after receiving the message from Shen Yao, Cheng Qi quickly contacted his mother, took a leave of absence, and drove to the sweet potato garden in one go.
Of course, there were not only him and Cheng's mother here, but also Zhao Xue's family.
Because of this, the cars driven by Cheng Qi are larger and can carry more.
The sound of a car horn appeared behind Shen Yao, and when she turned around she could see people getting out of the car.
After waving his hand, before Shen Yao could come over, Shen Jiancheng and Song Ling were already chatting with the visitor with a smile.
Cheng's mother looks about the same age as Song Ling, but she is actually a few years older than Song Ling.
"Thank you, Sister Song, for thinking of us." Everyone's family is short of staple food crops, and she was able to take them with her at a time like this. Her character is impeccable.
The Zhao family has a strong sense of duty. They have no relationship with the Shen family and were able to come here only because of the Cheng family acting as a glue.
Listening to Cheng Ma and Song Ling chatting with each other, Shen Jiancheng interrupted and pointed to a large undeveloped sweet potato field not far away, "Let's work first, and we can talk about it when we get back."
The Zhao family members nodded vigorously in their hearts. Who said it wasn't? Sweet potatoes are so important. One stick can fill a person's stomach. During the hot and rainy season, one cannot go out for several months. It is wonderful to prepare some sweet sweet potatoes at home in advance.
Everyone agreed with Shen Jiancheng's words, turned around and started digging with sacks and hoes.
The people who came later were scattered throughout the sweet potato garden, and there was no difference from before.
If I have to say something, it would be that having someone by her side helped Song Ling slowly put her mind at ease, and the presence of others also gave her courage (although having more people didn't seem to have any effect when facing the mutant wild boar).
In short, the new people who joined not only integrated quickly but also gained a lot.
The four members of the Shen family filled the sacks they brought with them, even the backpacks.
The emerald green stems and leaves of sweet potatoes look fresh and juicy when you take a bite.
Click, click
Putting it in her mouth and tasting it, Shen Yao felt that eating sweet potato leaves raw would never happen in the past, but now it was not surprising at all.
Cheng Qi came over, picked up the sack on the ground, and left some clean water for Shen Yao to quench her thirst.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked back in unison.
The car was filled with bags of sweet potatoes and fresh soil.
Shen Yao got into the car, leaned back, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who have worked all day are not energetic; they all sit in their seats with their eyes closed to rest.
Cheng Qi drove slowly, trying to give everyone time to rest, but even so, by the time the car returned to the base, everyone still hadn't recovered.
The entire yard was filled with sacks and backpacks. Song Ling instructed Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu to cover the things with a layer of reed mats and then leave them alone.
When asked if they would go to the sweet potato garden tomorrow, everyone nodded.
"We have to go. If we dig for two more days, we will have enough staple food for the hot rainy season."
"Yes, sweet potatoes are expensive. If we dig more, we can save a lot of points and use the air conditioner as much as we want," without having to worry about the electricity bill.
Song Ling and Cheng Ma sang the same tune, with Zhao Ma occasionally joining in. It could be said that the three women put on a show, and soon they decided on the itinerary for tomorrow.
Not only will Cheng Qi have to continue to take leave, but Zhao Xue and the two children will also have to go there tomorrow.
The same goes for the Zhao family. Try to go whenever you are free. Such opportunities are rare, so you must seize them when you come across them.
Before leaving, Cheng Qi stayed alone with Shen Yao for a while. This guy was also very smart. He did not send all the sweet potatoes back to area B, but left some in area C.
"The keys to our new home, you can take a look when you have time, and change anything you don't like."
Cheng Qi handed a bunch of keys to Shen Yao, and they both agreed to get married before the hot rainy season.
There's no way around it. The young men and women in the base are very quick about getting married.
Shen Yao had seen Zhou Ying two days ago. Even though his belly was noticeably bulging, he still followed the group out to collect food.
From what Song Ling said, Zhou Ying's life was not easy. The Zhou family helped her a lot in private. Unfortunately, Zhou Ying's husband was too lazy, and the food Zhou Ying saved was of no use during the hot and rainy season.
Shen Yao nodded and pushed Cheng Qi out, "After we return the car, we can tell your team about the sweet potato garden."
Having worked together for such a long time, Cheng Qi must have had some personal connections.
The sweet potato garden is not afraid of too many people, so it's good to have this opportunity to do a favor. They have a lot of leave days, so I can't offend my colleagues.
Cheng Qi patted Shen Yao's head and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. When we come back tomorrow, we'll confront them when we've done most of the digging."
Not only would he be able to show his gratitude, but he would also be able to repay the favor of asking for leave, and at the same time remove himself from this matter. After all, the patrol team still receives salaries from the base, and if they keep using public resources for personal gain, it would give people something to talk about.
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, and seeing that Cheng Qi really knew what was going on, she stopped worrying.
After agreeing to contact each other if there was anything, Shen Yao returned to the room to take a short rest, and then helped to process the sweet potatoes and sweet potato stems and leaves that she brought back.
The sweet potatoes were cleaned and sent to the storage room. Some of the sweet potato stems and leaves were kept for eating now, and the rest were cooked and pickled in water. Unfortunately, the soybean paste at home had been eaten up, and it was not the time for the soybeans to mature, otherwise it would taste better if some was added to the sauce.
Busy and busy, with breaks and rests, the soft light came on in the room. Shen Yao pounded her shoulders and tapped her legs. She took a bath but was still not fully refreshed.
Hmm, I wonder how long I have to take the pill. Is genetic awakening so difficult?
…………
I fell asleep in a daze, and when I opened my eyes again, it was morning.
The breakfast prepared by Song Ling was relatively dry, consisting of coarse flour steamed buns with stir-fried pork slices. The family of four ate until their bellies were full, then slowly got into the car at the door.
It is obvious that there are more people in the car than yesterday. All three families are very ambitious, which shows that yesterday's bumper harvest of sweet potatoes gave them confidence.
Cheng Qi drove the car, bypassed the crowd queuing in front of the door, and left through the passage.
The sweet potato garden was even more lush and green than yesterday. After just one night, the dug-up soil had closed up again, and there was even a hint of green emerging.
This is the terrifying repair ability of the mutated plants, which is truly horrifying.
After the territory was redivided, everyone took a backpack, sack and hoe and started digging up the sweet potato leaves on the ground.
Cheng Qi took his weapon and walked slowly around the sweet potato garden. He shot down two pheasants and four birds, and only returned on foot after making sure there was no danger.
"Cheng Period"
Shen Yao called out and started chatting about whether the rumor was true or not, "Are there really wild boars here?"
"Yes, we dealt with some of them last year, but a few ran back to the mountains." I don't know how the reproduction is going this year and whether the wild boar population has grown stronger.
"Can I eat pork?" Shen Yao was curious. She hadn't tasted pork in the past few months.
Cheng Qi shook his head, "It's not tasty, it has a strong fishy smell," and even adding heavier ingredients wouldn't solve the problem.
After the mutation, without the domestic pig breed, wild boars became more unruly and difficult to tame.
The base had captured many piglets before. Regardless of whether they were castrated or not, the taste of wild boars could not be changed. Therefore, there were very few wild boars in the meat they had eaten. Even if the base caught them, they would use them as raw materials for nutrient supplements. After all, the taste of nutrient supplements was hard to describe, and everyone in the base knew it.
Reaching out to take the hoe from Shen Yao's hand, Cheng Qi started digging the ground.
The compacted soil was separated to reveal the round sweet potatoes hidden inside. Two people, one digging and the other picking, soon had the goods brought in.
The empty sacks were filled with sweet potatoes, tied with ropes and placed aside.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
The two of them simply sat on the ground. Shen Yao rummaged through the backpack she brought with her and took out the dried fruits, bamboo tube of water, and a few hard steamed buns.
"Try it, it contains nutritional supplements." There were some leftovers from what she had bought earlier, so Shen Yao simply brought them all over. After all, the appetite of those with genetic awakening is much bigger than that of ordinary people.
Cheng Qi lowered his head and finished his meal obediently, then ran back to the car to get a box of pastries.
"I bought it from the redemption center, you try it." It was expensive but very sweet. Shen Yao couldn't hold back her expression after picking up a piece and putting it into her mouth.
Cheng Qi also tasted a piece and asked, "Don't you like it?" He thought it tasted good.
Shen Yao: ...It's hard to put it into words
