Survival in the end of food

The middle-aged people simply regard him as a confidant. When recommending seed brands, they always recommend affordable and full-bodied good seeds.

Zheng Yan couldn't make up his mind on how many seeds to buy, but later, he was conservative, and it didn't matter if there were too many, the space could be stored, and if there were too few, there would be nowhere to find them in the end of the world.

So 5000 catties of wheat, according to the words of the middle-aged uncle, 25 catties of wheat seeds are needed for one mu of land, and 5000 catties is enough for dozens of rounds of planting.At that time, the grain harvested can also be used as seeds, and it will be enough for sure.

Secondly, there are 3000 catties of corn. The tender corn is a delicacy when boiled or fried, especially the waxy corn, which tastes glutinous and sweet, and is very delicious.

Then there are 3000 catties of rice seeds. In the conversation with the middle-aged man, I learned that there are upland rice besides rice, and ordered 3000 catties of upland rice seeds, 5000 catties of cotton seeds, 50 catties of potato seeds and 50 catties of sweet potato seeds.There is no need to buy too many of these two kinds, and potatoes and sweet potatoes that are usually eaten can also be grown as tubers.

Then there are fertilizers and mulch, Zheng Yan has one head and two big ones, so he doesn't know how much to prepare.But space weeds grow so healthy without fertilization, maybe they don't need chemical fertilizers?

Anyway, there are still nearly ten months before the end of the world, so let's plant it in space first.

One mu of land needs about 80-90 catties of chemical fertilizers. Zheng Yan bought 10000 catties of fertilizers and 1000 rolls of plastic film.

After these grain seeds are processed, there are vegetable seeds.

Bean, soybean, eggplant, cucumber, cauliflower, tomato, cabbage, leek, lettuce, fennel, lettuce, radish, onion, ginger, garlic, lettuce, enoki mushroom, wax gourd, pumpkin, etc., as well as a full range of peppers, red peppers, peppers ,Bell Pepper……

The seeds are sold in small packages for [-] cents a pack, Zheng Yan wants them in bulk, the cheap ones cost one or two yuan a catty, and the expensive ones cost only ten yuan.

The middle-aged man didn't have time to talk, and took notes behind him with a notebook. The black leather notebook took a total of five notes.Looking back, there should be nothing left behind, Zheng Yan said it was gone.

The middle-aged man could fit two eggs in his mouth, so he hurriedly found someone to stock up.

After paying the bill by swiping the card at the front desk, a staff member parked the truck to the warehouse. Zheng Yan went with him and took out the key to open the compartment of the heavy truck.

More than a dozen dark and stout loading personnel wore wet towels around their necks and wore loose overalls, carrying hundreds of catties of cargo on their shoulders to the truck.The hurried figures shuttled back and forth dozens of times, sweating profusely, and it took more than two hours to move the more than ten tons of goods.

Zheng Yan looked at these people so exhausted that they couldn't breathe, and felt very sorry. He went to a nearby cold drink shop to bring three packs of mineral water to quench the workers' thirst.

Ask someone to drive the truck back to the parking lot. After Zheng Yan thanked him, he jumped into the car and closed the door.Call the driver and ask him to drive.

When he came, he came in the truck with the driver, and the car was stored in the car rental company.

The driver trotted over from the gymnasium, but didn't see him, so he called and asked where he was.

Sitting in the carriage, Zheng Yan smelled the pungent smell of fertilizer, pinched his nose and said, "Just drive the car back."

The driver didn't suspect him, but when he returned first, he climbed into the cab of the truck and drove away.

Feel the truck moving steadily and leave the monitoring of the parking lot.With a wave of his hand, more than ten tons of seeds and fertilizers were all put into the space, and the compartment that was full a second ago was instantly emptied.

However, the bad smell of chemical fertilizer was still very strong, Zheng Yan called the driver, "Please stop and let me get in the car."

The driver stepped on the brakes and looked around with his arms on the steering wheel, wanting to see where Zheng Yan got into the car.

Zheng Yan opened the carriage and jumped out. The driver was confused when he saw this, and said inexplicably, "You...why are you hiding in the carriage?"

Zheng Yan jumped into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and said casually, "I want to scare you."

driver:"……"

On the way, the driver drove the road ahead and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Zheng Yan closed his eyes and rested his mind. Hearing this, he opened his eyes to look at the traffic flowing outside the window, and said, "Go back to your company."

Back at the company, the driver parked the truck in a spacious place and asked, "Do you want to help unload the goods? Brothers earn some cigarette money."

He looked around while talking, but he didn't find the car to pick up the goods.

Zheng Yan's heart skipped a beat, he pretended to look at him strangely, and asked, "What are you unloading?"

The driver was stunned and said, "It's the seeds..." He got out of the car and opened the compartment to have a look, only to find that it was empty.

He looked suspiciously at Zheng Yan's disappearing figure, and couldn't help muttering, isn't this man renting a truck to deliver goods?When he was cooling off in the gymnasium, he obviously saw someone drive away the truck, and when it came back, the tires were a bit flat, obviously it was loaded with a lot of goods.

Could it be that my eyesight was wrong?

Zheng Yan found his Mercedes, got in and let out a deep breath.

No matter how thorough the plan is, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of secrets and sparseness. I never thought that the driver seemed careless, but in fact he was careful and cautious.Fortunately, he is not serious. If he meets someone who is twisted, he will be dragged to the seed company to confront him, but even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to speak clearly with a hundred mouths.

Zheng Yan didn't delay much, and quickly left the car rental company.

He went all the way north, to the countryside.

His home is located in the south, and it is August at this time, which is the season when spring corn is ripe.

Spring corn is usually sown in March and April and matures in July and August.

The scenery outside the car window was speeding all the way back, and the large pieces of corn were as tall as a person, and they had already headed.From time to time, farmers take their children to break tender corn in their fields, and cook it at home.

And the main purpose of his trip to the countryside was not to collect tender corn. The south can grow three crops of rice a year. The early rice has been harvested on a large scale in early July, and the new rice should have come down by now.

After the rice and corn are harvested, in September and October, new cotton and millet should also enter the market.

Facing the winding and boundless road, Zheng Yan turned on the stereo in the car and moved forward quickly amidst the tinkling music.

The handsome assistant jumped out of the farming space, lay comfortably on the back seat, and said, "The kettle is hungry."

Zheng Yan flashed into the space and grabbed the kettle out, and it took only two seconds.Hold the steering wheel again and drive, throw the water bottle next to the handsome assistant, take out the cat food from the space and pass it back to the back seat.

Kettle rubbed his head against the handsome assistant affectionately, and started to eat hungrily.

It is very far from the urban area to the county seat, and most of the road along the way is farmland, with a few houses, and very few cars pass by.

Zheng Yan drove for 10 minutes and saw that there was no car approaching in front of him. Later, no car caught up with him, so he quickly stopped and dodged into the farming space to transport out a stack of dried weeds.

After driving a few miles forward, another stack was shipped out.

Stopping and stopping like this, transporting all the hay out of the space, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when we reached the edge of the famous land of fish and rice.

The so-called land of fish and rice, seafood and rice are very rich, because the water quality is good and the soil is fertile, two crops can be planted a year, and the southern regions can even grow three seasons of rice a year.

Feeling very tired after hours of high-intensity driving, Zheng Yan found a hotel at random and fell asleep.

After waking up, Zheng Yan looked at his watch, it was ten past eight.I got up and took out a piece of dough from the space, put half a spoonful of chili on it, and ate it coolly while exhaling spicy.

After eating the noodles, seeing that it was still early and not feeling sleepy, Zheng Yan took out a bag of wheat seeds from the space, and was going to try to farm.

The small seeder he bought is only about half a person tall, and it can cultivate a field about one meter at a time.Zheng Yan filled the fuel tank with gasoline, poured the seeds into the funnel of the planter, and began to plant the land.

The planter is not difficult to drive, but it is rare that it needs to be kept in a straight line at all times, so as not to plant crooked wavy lines.

There are big and small seeders, expensive ones and cheap ones. The one that Zheng Yan wants is the smallest seeder. Ordinary seeders can perform high-speed operations at most 1 hour/5 mu of land, and his seeder can at most Maintain a low-speed operation of 1 hour/0.5 mu.

Zheng Yan planted an acre of sweat profusely, and finally managed to operate the small planter proficiently, progressing from ⌒╮/╭╮々¤√—⌒~ to ~~~~~~~~~, it was a worthwhile trip.

In the end, I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my hands. The fruits of my labor were very gratifying, and I planted five acres of wheat.

Zheng Yan came out of the space and looked at his watch, only an hour had passed.

Struggling to get into the bathroom to take a shower, after taking a shower, I lay tired on the bed, my stomach growling.

I can't bear to eat the dough anymore, it will be gone after eating.Zheng Yan took out two packs of instant noodles and went downstairs to the hotel lobby to borrow boiled water.

The owner of the hotel is a plump middle-aged woman who looks in her 40s. She wears a long white dress and sits on a small stool at the door chatting with people. At first glance, she looks like a white cloud.

At this time, it was already very dark, Zheng Yan went downstairs to search around but did not find a water dispenser, so he went over and asked softly, "Boss, is there any boiling water?"

The proprietress looked back and saw the instant noodle box in Zheng Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "There is boiling water, do you want instant noodles?"

Zheng Yan looked down at the instant noodles in his hand, nodded and said, "Well, I didn't eat tonight."

"It's unhealthy to eat instant noodles at night!" The proprietress is a very hearty person, and she said to the woman sitting beside me: "My house is next door to a pancake shop, why don't you eat pancakes? It's not me, my old sister's. Craftsmanship, but people from all over the world give thumbs up!" After speaking, he winked at him.

Zheng Yan was stunned.

The woman clamped her hands between her legs, and her face immediately turned red when she heard the words, she waved her hands repeatedly, and stammered, "Guan, sister Guan, you you you... oh! Big brother, don't listen to her, her Nonsense!"

The woman rubbed her hands awkwardly, rubbing her left foot against her right foot, not knowing what to do.Before Zheng Yan could react, he hurried back and went home.

With sharp eyes, Zheng Yan saw that the man was limping, and his left foot was obviously limp.

The proprietress of the hotel who was called Sister Guan by women sighed, walked over and whispered, "Eldest sister is not lying, my old sister is a master at cooking! Be careful. Why don't you go and taste her cakes for the big sister's treat? It's time to do a good deed!"

Zheng Yan thought of the woman's appearance just now, and shook his head slightly.

Sister Guan's face immediately darkened.

Zheng Yan put the instant noodles on the table beside him, and said with a smile, "I'll try it, but you don't need to pay the bill."

The sky is full of stars outside, and opposite the hotel is a huge construction site. Half of the buildings in the community have been built, and various cement materials are piled up like a mountain.
