NOVEL NEXT Chapter 49: Team up again
Chapter 49 Forming a team again
Although the chlorine content of the exchanged saplings and strawberry saplings has not been measured, Xia Qing is optimistic. First, because Luo Pei is still in her territory and relying on her spring water to recuperate, the seedlings sent by the Qinglong Team are definitely not bad. Second, the location where she planted these seedlings was chosen very well.
The two small toon seedlings that Xia Qing transplanted from under the big toon tree to the spring are alive and are still green plants. Therefore, the soil conditions nearby are very suitable for planting.
The five Chinese toon seedlings that she transplanted to the edge of the yard? Sorry, the wall she knocked down during the fight with the sheep boss was crushed, and none of the trees survived.
Xia Qing inspected the vegetable garden while collecting spring water, and found that most of the transplanted vegetable seedlings were alive and well, so she couldn't help but start imagining a garden full of fruits.
Tightening the lid of the bucket and stuffing it into her backpack, Xia Qing crossed the stone bridge with flowing water to water the sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings.
After a month of growth, the sweet potato vines are more than half a meter long and have branched out into several small forks. They are growing well and each one is green. The potatoes grew to the height of a hand, but the seedlings were green and red, which made Xia Qing wonder whether the potatoes she received were actually potatoes. The potato seedlings in the planting center did not look like this.
Through communication on the lord channel, Xia Qing knew that the potato seedlings of other lords also looked like this, and guessed that the color was different because the base sent lords yellow potatoes, while the planting center had green potatoes.
Although he was dissatisfied with the color and growth rate of the potato seedlings, Xia Qing still watered each potato seedling seriously.
Her mentality, if other lords knew about it, would definitely be scolded in Versailles. Because the potato seedlings of other lords were shorter than Xia Qing's, only as high as a finger.
After watering the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Xia Qing went to see the wheat seedlings, mung beans and cotton and found that it was time to water them.
Because Luopei consumes a lot of water, Xia Qing cannot collect spring water to irrigate the farmland, so whether it is a field soaked in filtered water or a field soaked in spring water, it must be irrigated with water from the reservoir.
Xia Qing was about to go back and move the water bike out of the tool room when she received a call from Hu Feng.
Zhang San invited the Huzi Feng team to go to the Evolution Forest to dig bamboo shoots with the team he was looking for. Huzi Feng called and asked Xia Qing if he wanted to form a team with them. "Zhang San is looking for an eight-man team. I'll leave two One person protects territory three, and one person protects territory one. If you join, you will definitely gain more than last time. If you participate, the supplies will be distributed according to the contribution of the logistics team members. "
Of course Xia Qing will go, but, "I'm just a non-staff logistics worker this time, so Team Hu doesn't need to take special care of me."
“Understood.” Hu Feng warned again, “Except for your personal necessary supplies, our team will be responsible for preparing everything else.”
Since he had to go into the mountains again to dig bamboo shoots, Xia Qing put off watering the fields and went home to do some chores.
The dryer was still running normally. Xia Qing took out a large bundle of thick bamboo poles from the tool room and split them in the yard to make the framework of the rain shelter.
The sheep boss was lying next to her, squinting in the sun. Xia Qing turned on the intercom and listened to other lords chatting.
At this time, Zhang San was not online, so Zhao Ze took the opportunity to continue asking Qi Fu for advice on how to accumulate wealth.
Qi Fu still wants to build a wild boar breeding center. "Pigs can eat, pull, and burrow, and they are especially good at making manure. I heard that there are more than a dozen pigs there, and they don't farm..."
Kuang Qingwei thinks it's not a big deal, "The breeding center is under the jurisdiction of the base's safety zone. Can you think of good things, but people in the safety zone can't think of it? The pig manure in the breeding center must belong to the planting center, so let's find another way."
Xia Qing agreed with Kuang Qingwei's point of view and pressed the button, "Brother Qi, in addition to animal manure, can leaves and grass be used for composting? I saw this method mentioned in the book."
Zhao Ze immediately followed, "Can this be the case? Sister Xia Qing knows so much."
Since the incident of Zhao Chong's spying, Zhao Ze has been trying to please Xia Qing intentionally or unintentionally, but Xia Qing just pretended not to notice. Kuang Qingwei took the opportunity to ask, "The green light food that third brother ate yesterday was given to him by you, sister, right? I know that no one in our area has this ability except you."
Xia Qing took over the conversation, "In addition to the four of us, there are more than a dozen lords around here. They also have a lot of good things in their hands."
Kuang Qingwei was extremely surprised, "Sister Xia Qing can still contact other lords? How? Which ones are they?"
Xia Qing replied vaguely, "I heard a few casual remarks from others."
Zhao Ze immediately followed, "Miss Xia Qing is so amazing."
“Click!” Xia Qing, a powerful man, split a bamboo several meters long without answering.
Qi Fu spoke, "You could use leaves to compost before, but now you can't. I heard from people at the planting center that after the great evolution of biology, there are many microorganisms and insect eggs on the dead leaves that cannot be killed by normal fermentation temperatures. Therefore, you can only use The feces that animals eat and then excrete are used as organic fertilizer. However, when Miss Xia Qing mentioned it, I thought of an idea. "
Zhao Ze immediately asked, "What can we do?"
Qi Fu replied, "Vermicompost. Letting earthworms eat dead leaves and grass will definitely eliminate microorganisms and insect eggs, but I don't know how to make vermicompost. Xiaoxia, it turns out that Sun Zhe, your team's father, was working on organic fertilizer before the natural disaster. When you work in the factory, have you seen Lao Sun?"
Xia Qing put down the split bamboo pole and pressed the button, "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."
Sun Zhe is one year younger than Xia Qing, and their family of three are ordinary evolved people. But fortunately, his family lived in the city where the Huisan Base Safety Zone was located before the natural disaster, so the Sun family never experienced desperate escapes and life-and-death separations that destroyed the world. They were the luckiest group of people in the early years of the natural disaster.
After the safe zone was established, the Sun family still lived in their own house. It was not until supplies and food became increasingly scarce that his father followed the team out of the safe zone to perform tasks to earn points.
Once on a mission, the team was attacked by evolved poisonous insects. His father fell down and was bitten by a poisonous insect while escaping. Although he managed to escape back to a safe area, he lost his left calf and arm and lost the ability to work. Since then, Sun Zhe, who worked as a laborer in the construction team, has become the main labor force in the family.
Qi Fu sighed, "When will we get a signal?"
If you have a signal, you can call Sun Zhe and ask how to make vermicomposts.
Xia Qing didn't say anything else. Kuang Qingwei from No. 6 shared the news excitedly, "I just heard the sound of a car. I thought it was a patrol coming. I ran out and took a look. Guess what? It was someone coming from the third brother's territory. There was a whole room full of people." Cars, all wearing camouflage protective clothing and carrying guns, what a good guy!”
“Third brother is definitely not an ordinary person.” Zhao Ze followed immediately.
Xia Qing put down the machete and understood why Zhang San didn't send people into the evolutionary forest to dig bamboo shoots today. Because he was short of manpower around him, he had to transfer people from the safe area.
After chopping the bamboo, Xia Qing began to tie the bamboo frame. Vegetables can only grow as high as a person at most, so a two-meter-high rain shelter is enough. Any higher than that and it will easily be overturned by the wind. After tying up the bamboo racks, Xia Qing heard the sound of the dryer indicating that the drying was completed. He went into the house and put the dried bamboo shoots into a sealed bag for storage, and then handed a fresh bamboo shoot to Boss Yang.
Because she was afraid that the dryer's connecting shaft would malfunction, Xia Qing decided to let it rest for a few hours and continue working at night. She picked up the bamboo frame and headed straight for the back hillside. The bamboo frame is not heavy, but it is bulky and difficult to carry. Now that the road has been repaired, she should get a tractor bucket and use the mini tiller bucket to pull things.
If she can gain a lot from entering the forest this time, she will exchange several key parts for making tractor buckets with Zhong Tao.
