Doomsday village doctor

Chapter 56 Potato Seeds

In the end, it is not clear how Luo Quangui gathered all the things.The child was saved safe and sound.

Luo Quangui's family used to raise a few chickens, but in order to do tricks at Baishu's house, they really put the chickens out for a night. Now the chickens are all killed, and even if they are still alive, they will not lay eggs in winter , had no choice but to pick two sick chickens and feed Gao Xiuzhu two pieces of chicken every day to supplement nutrition.

But those few chickens would always be eaten up no matter how economical they were. Luo Quangui first went to his elder brother Luo Quanyou to ask Hu Cuiqin to help him buy some eggs and vegetables. did not agree.

Luo Quangui didn't have the face to put a cold ass on Bai Shu's place, so he simply pushed Luo Mina out and asked Luo Mina to dress up better, even if he couldn't attract Bai Shu, at least lower the price.

The year before last, grain production had decreased, but prices had skyrocketed. At that time, Luo Quangui was only thinking about having a son to support him. Who would have thought that now he would have nowhere to spend his money.

The only thing left in Luo Quangui's house is the leftover corn crumbs and some corn that is going to be kept to feed the livestock. Now the three of them eat slowly, and it won't last long.

Bai Shu didn't want to embarrass a little girl like Luo Mina. Everyone in the village knew that Luo Quangui abused his daughter, but no one had grown his hands so long to meddle in other people's affairs.

Feng Bai Xixi can talk more and more, and when she has nothing to do, play preschool poetry discs to her, and she can also recite one or two poems along with it.

This year's temperature rise was a full month earlier than last year, and when Feng Bai and his wife woke up from the heat, they opened the window and saw the familiar gurgling water outside.

Bai Shu propped his chin to appreciate the water flow for a long time, and then Feng Han carried him downstairs to dig a canal to drain all the remaining water after filling the two ponds, so as not to keep water in the yard.

Look at the neighbors, they are all busy using all kinds of containers at home to hold the melted water, not to mention pots and pans. In the past, all the beverage bottles that children drank before they had time to sell were all taken out. It is good to be able to hold more a little.

When the snow melted last year, most of them were woken up by the heat and went to sleep. When they woke up the next morning, a lot of snow water had been lost. After last year's high temperature and severe drought, they all knew the preciousness of water.Although there will not be a lot of water in the container, it is better than nothing. Even if you use this water to grow some vegetables in the house, it is good.

I don't know who started it, but it looked like they were all busy, Feng Han and Bai Shu couldn't do anything special, so they dug out the bottles and cans at home and started filling them with water.After all, this is a clinic, there are not many other things, and there are quite a lot of plastic bottles left over from the infusion.Take them all out to fill with water, and the quantity that comes out is very impressive.

In fact, there is no place to put it, so I put a few wooden boards on the beams above the warehouse, and put the bottles filled with snow water on them.

When the beams of the barn are all filled, there is still a lot left. The space under the three beds in the ward is not small, and the water is piled inside.

In short, the whole village was not idle. Those who woke up went to wake up those who were not awake to collect water. For three full days, they slept very little.There are not enough bottles, and the pots and bowls are full, so you can find plastic bags to cover the paper shells. Some packaging bags for children's snacks have sealed openings.Some plastic bags leak, which is a pity not to use. I don’t know who came up with the idea of ​​putting rags, obsolete clothes or children’s clothes soaked in water into the leaking plastic bags, so that when they are superimposed, they will be in harmony with each other. Cover it with a plastic sheet, and the moisture can be stored for a long time.

There were also people who stayed up all night digging ponds in their yards, and used plastic sheets to store water if there was no cement.

In short, when the last drop of snow water seeped into the ground without a trace, the villagers had already stored enough water.

At this time, someone came to ask whether Baizhu and Feng Han would buy a soilless cultivation device.Atractylodes and Fenghan have prepared a lot for soilless cultivation, but the large ones should be kept for their own use.

However, there are quite a few small-scale soilless cultivations that can grow about seven plants, and [-] catties of coarse grains are sold out one by one.Although it is very expensive, the nutrient solution provided is enough to grow three crops of vegetables, which is more suitable than buying vegetables directly.

Baishu put out [-] sets for sale, and they were sold out in less than half a day.

The snow has melted, the ground has dried up, and it's been cool these few days. Bai Zhu and Feng Han took food to the county to check the situation.

It took me a long time to inquire about the situation in the county.There was a period of famine in the county last fall, but the government soon introduced new policies.The state has begun to support a large number of greenhouse animal husbandry and agriculture, and professionals in this area are hired with high salaries.There is always a large plastic shed or greenhouse every 200 meters in the county, which can grow all kinds of things. I heard that the two largest greenhouses grow rice in them. Now they have harvested a crop, and the harvest is very impressive.

Greenhouses are divided into official and private ones. People who have no food can choose to apply for jobs for food and housing. The salary is food and vegetables.The treatment of the private sector is better, while the state-owned sector is more stable and secure.Although life is not as comfortable as before, no one is hungry.Elementary and junior high schools have entered normal classes, and those above high school are basically helping the family to earn food. There are few students and there is no recovery for the time being.

Last year was full of disasters, and although people's lives were difficult, they did not lose hope.The two of them looked at it all the way and breathed a sigh of relief.

After inquiring about the place where the market was traded, the two drove over to have a look.

To put it bluntly, the trading market is just a street stall. Although it is not as formal as a large supermarket, the items inside are complete and full of tricks. If you look carefully, you can find a lot of treasures.

I also bought decent toys for Feng Bai Xixi, and also sold electronic products such as game consoles. Buy two, and buy some rechargeable batteries, so you can play for a long time.

There was also a large bag of shopping here and there, and the two of them thought about the dog food sold in the mastiff garden, so they would buy more in the past.Rhubarb and Xiaohei are now eating more and more, and growing faster and faster. Now dog food is much cheaper than grain, and buying more can also reduce the consumption of their own food.

However, I haven’t been here for three months. When I came again, I saw a few construction workers remodeling the mastiff park. They removed the compartments and put on tempered glass. This is to change the dog pen into a greenhouse, and I can’t hear the dog. It screamed, and I don't know if I bought it or killed it and ate it.

The owner of Mastiff Garden recognized Feng Han and Bai Zhu, and greeted Feng Han and Bai Zhu with a smile on his face: "Why do you have time to come and have a look? My family doesn't sell dogs anymore."

Bai Shu smiled and nodded: "I see, I came here to ask if there is any dog ​​food. You also know the Tibetan Mastiff's appetite. It's almost eating us two brothers."

No one knows more about the food intake of Tibetan mastiffs than the owner of the mastiff garden, otherwise he would not have hoarded so much dog food before.

"All my remaining dogs were bought by the government. If you hadn't called me earlier to tell me that you wanted to buy dog ​​food, I would have sold them all. I kept two thousand catties, which is the same price as last time. How about two hundred catties of rice? Three A hundred catties of coarse grains are also fine."

This sounds like a lot, but it won’t take a few months to feed two of them.

"It's all there. I have enough food here. It will take some effort to move back. I will move back once today, and I will come here twice tomorrow."

To be honest, Mastiff Park is a neighboring county, and it takes nearly three hours to go back and forth.If it wasn't for Rhubarb and Xiao Hei, Bai Shu would really be reluctant to part with gasoline.

In fact, the government has already begun to work hard to restore the use of currency, but after experiencing the situation last year, it is somewhat scary, and most of them still insist on collecting grain.The gas station is still in operation, and it also collects food, and the price is ridiculously expensive, so only rich people can afford it.

Before Feng Han returned Baishu, he changed a lot of gasoline with the army, which was enough for a long time, so he didn't need to spend that big money.

When the dog food was completely moved back home the next afternoon, several large trucks entered the village with loudspeakers shouting.

"Potatoes! Potato seeds with teeth! High-yield and drought-resistant, one catty can be exchanged for two catties of rice noodles or three catties of coarse grains!"

Feng Bai just wanted to grow potatoes, but suffered from lack of seeds. Potatoes are underground, and they are more suitable for survival in arid climates than plants on the ground.Moreover, the starch content is high, and it is most suitable as a staple food when food is in short supply and the weather is bad.

Few people bought it. During the locust flood last year, although the crops on the ground were not harvested, the potatoes planted in the yard were still harvested, and most people did not plan to use potatoes as a staple food, and planted some as vegetables in winter. Eating is enough.

Bai Shu knew a little more than Feng Han, so he went over and asked, "Brother, why do you have so many potatoes! Didn't they all go out of production last year?"

The eldest brother did not hide it: "It was all produced by soilless cultivation with Dapeng later. According to experts, because there is no soil constraint, there is no limit to the growth of potatoes, and the harvest in the soil is several times."

"Can I take a look?"

The eldest brother was also easy-going, and got out of the car to take a sample for Baizhu. Every potato had teeth, but the skin was very thin and very smooth, not at all rough like digging out of the soil.

Feng Han also came over to take a look, picked up a potato, touched it, and asked with a smile, "It's not genetically modified, is it?"

The elder brother was not angry either: "There are indeed genetically modified varieties with larger yields and cheaper prices, but I am only responsible for buying this kind. It looks a bit like genetically modified, but when you look at it when it grows in the soil, it will look like a genetically modified variety." Regular potatoes are no different."

Everyone thinks that genetically modified food is bad, and thinks that genetically modified food is a scourge, but they don't know that even if it is to prevent genetically modified food, genetically modified food has already penetrated into thousands of households in China.The biggest reason is that there are too many people. If there are more people and less food, the price of food will soar and the balance will be disrupted.Some foreign food-short countries have no choice but to invest in genetically modified food on a large scale, but China has not put it on the bright side.

It is said that eating GMOs will affect the reproduction of offspring, but according to the conclusions drawn by the mice, it will take several generations, and I am almost starving to death. Who can guarantee the situation of offspring?
