Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 19 Choosing Crops()

Zhao Hai led everyone back to the house, and Merlin and the others naturally followed. When they arrived in the living room, Zhao Hai asked Merlin to sit down, but Meg stood behind Zhao Hai without saying a word, but this time she did not lower her head, but stared at Zhao Hai. The back of the sea is lost in thought.

Zhao Hai has now regained his composure. Although Meg shocked him and made him think about this girl involuntarily, he has too many things to do now, so he is not in a hurry to talk to Meg. The future of the entire Buda family is weighing on him. The first thing he needs to think about now is the survival of these more than a hundred people.

Merlin has now become accustomed to Zhao Hai's way of doing things, so she did not refuse, sat down, looked at Zhao Hai with excitement and said: "Master, what are we going to do next?" She was now starting to unconsciously I asked Zhao Hai for his opinion.

Zhao Hai thought for a while and said: "Grandma Mei Lin, you can go outside in a while, select some people who are best at farming, let them plant the ten acres of land, and ask them what is most suitable to plant at this time. By the way, we Are there any seeds?”

Merlin nodded and said: "Yes, we have a lot of seeds in our hands now, but most of these seeds are grains and ordinary vegetables, and they are most suitable for planting in the mountains. The land outside is so good. If It’s such a waste to grow that stuff.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then turned to Merlin and said, "Grandma Merlin, let's make a fire to cook now. The weather is still a little cold. What do those slaves use to keep warm at night?"

Merlin said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, at that time we only thought of buying some practical things, such as cooking and heating. We used magic stoves in the house, but now we have too few magic crystals, so we can't use magic. Stoves have been used for heating and cooking, but now they use dead trees and hay from the mountains for cooking and heating.”

Zhao Hai nodded. It was clear that Merlin and the others, who had always been at the top of the aristocracy, were working hard to prepare everything, but they did not know the old Chinese saying that the seven things to do when opening a door are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. ,Tea.

These seven things are closely related to people's lives, especially the four items of firewood, rice, oil and salt, which are necessities for people. Among them, firewood ranks first, which shows its importance.

However, because they have always been in high positions, they do not know much about these things. Although Merlin and the others brought a lot of daily necessities, they were not prepared enough for the simplest and most important necessity in life, firewood.

In fact, the main reason for this is that the black soil wasteland here is really too barren. Even the grass grows dead. This is something Merlin and the others did not expect.

The Ark Continent has a large population, but the area is larger. Firewood is not a precious thing here at all. The poles of crops in the fields, branches in the forest, rich people can use charcoal, and nobles generally use magic crystals to drive them. In the magic stove, no one has ever worried about burning firewood. Even the poorest people will not worry about burning firewood.

But this firewood turned out to be valuable when it arrived in the black soil wasteland. There were only some short trees and some weeds growing here. Apart from these things, there was nothing else available. So Merlin and the others found that although they had prepared It was enough, but they were not prepared for the most inconspicuous thing on this continent, and this thing was not available here in the black soil wasteland.

When Merlin saw that Zhao Hai was silent, he had to say: "Master, what do you want to plant on the land outside?"

Zhao Hai is also thinking about this now. There are several seeds in his hand that are suitable for planting outside, such as wheat and pasture. Although cabbage is also available, it is not in the right season and cannot be planted yet. However, wheat and pasture are not suitable for planting. It's not suitable, let alone forage. We can't use that now. Although wheat is a good thing, it can't produce much firewood. The most important thing is that the yield of wheat is not very high, so Zhao Hai doesn't want to plant it. This thing, now is not the time for him to adjust his taste in life. He has to think about how to solve the Buda family's problem first.

Then Zhao Hai has only one choice left now, corn!

Corn is a good thing, and it is also a crop that Zhao Hai is most familiar with before. Not only has he grown it himself, but also many rural areas around the city where he used to grow corn. Not only does corn have a high yield, but most importantly, he also grows it. The main crop that produces firewood is still in many rural areas in the north. Corn stalks are still the main source of firewood in winter.

But now he only has corn seeds that can be planted on two acres of land, and the improved land is ten acres, which is simply not enough.

Zhao Hai frowned and counted the things available in his hand. There were a total of two hundred space gold coins (cannot be taken outside the space for use), six bags of forage seeds (can be used to plant six acres of land), and two bags of cabbage seeds (can be used to plant two acres of land). acres), two bags of wheat seeds (can be planted on two acres of land), two bags of corn seeds (can be planted on two acres of land), and a season of radishes in the warehouse, which can be bought for 500 gold coins, but the gold coins cannot be taken out of the space for use.

But now he can open two more acres of land in the space, but these two acres of land require two hundred gold coins. If he opens the land, then he will have no money in his hand.

Merlin saw Zhao Hai frowning and didn't know what he was thinking. She didn't say anything. She knew it was useless to chase Zhao Hai now. She really hoped that this young master who had been creating miracles recently could create miracles.

Meg was also looking at Zhao Hai in trance now. She found that Zhao Hai was particularly charming when he was thinking, and that deep feeling made her particularly fascinated.

Zhao Hai carefully calculated the things in his hands and finally selected a plan. He turned to Meilin and said: "Grandma Meilin, you'd better organize those people to clean up the mine later. You need to clean up the mine earlier." Okay, tomorrow I will improve ten acres of land, and then tell you what to plant. I'm going to rest first." After that, he stood up and walked into the room.

Although Merlin didn't know what Zhao Hai could do, she still chose to believe in Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had performed so well recently and had gained an ability that she couldn't understand. She believed that Zhao Hai could do something.

Wood and Stone followed Zhao Hai to his room, but Meg did not follow. She and Merlin had to organize the slaves to clean up the mine, which Merlin alone could not handle.

Zhao Hai returned to the room as quickly as possible, still letting the wood and stone guard the door, and he got into the space in one fell swoop.

The space is still the same as before. Although the land and water have been upgraded, nothing can be seen from the outside. Zhao Hai looked at the space carefully and found that there were no changes in the space soil and space water here. I was relieved that the land was not reduced due to land improvement.

Improving the land outside the space has many benefits for him. If the space suddenly disappears one day, he will have a large area of ​​land outside and will not starve to death.

But now he is in the accumulation stage, and the existence of space will help him even more. If there are any changes in the space because of improving the land, then he will really lose more than he gains.

Looking at the radishes again, they were almost ripe. Zhao Hai then whispered: "Sell the radishes in the warehouse."

The space prompt sound came: "Are you sure you want to sell the items in the warehouse?" Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "OK." The space prompt sound came again: "You can sell the items in the warehouse and get gold coins. Five hundred, has been put into the gold coin bag, there are no items in your warehouse, please work hard to farm."

Zhao Hai had no choice. He originally thought that he would not move the radishes that were about to mature in the field. After these radishes matured, he wanted to see if these radishes could be harvested, but now it seems that this It's still too early to test. What he needs now is gold coins and something useful to him. This test can only be done later.

Now Zhao Hai's net worth has become, seven hundred gold coins, six small bags of forage seeds, two small bags of cabbage seeds, two small bags of wheat seeds, and two small bags of corn seeds.

After calculating what he had, Zhao Hai immediately said: "Create the land."

A prompt sound came from the space: "Creating new land requires level three and two hundred gold coins. You have met the requirements for reclamation. Do you want to reclaim it now?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Yes." Following his voice, the space fluctuated for a while, and the mist surrounding the land flashed for a while. After a flash, another one appeared next to the original ten acres of land. A small clearing.

Zhao Hai looked at the two acres of newly reclaimed land. It was no different from the land at the beginning of the space. Zhao Hai immediately said: "Plant corn in the ground."

The seed bag, shovel, and bucket immediately cooperated and started planting corn on the two acres of land. This was exactly Zhao Hai's plan.

Zhao Hai knows about corn. Corn is different from radish. Radish eats rhizomes, while corn eats seeds. When corn is mature, that is, the seeds of corn are mature. Even if the radish leaves the seeds, corn can also be eaten. Now he has cultivated two acres of land, which is just suitable for planting corn. When the corn matures, he will get both corn seeds and corn stalks that can be used as firewood.

It takes about three kilograms of seeds to grow corn on one acre of land, and the yield of corn on one acre of land is about one ton. In other words, if he grows corn on two acres of land, he can get at least four thousand kilograms of corn. If If these corns can be used as seeds, then he can plant at least more than 600 acres of land. This is definitely a cost-effective business.

Now Zhao Hai just hopes that the corn in space will not be like the corn on earth before. The seeds he keeps are far less good than the ones he buys. If the corn in space can really be used as seeds, then his big problem will be solved. The problem is, he can grow radishes in the space, turn the radishes into money, and plant corn outside, so that he can have firewood and food, which can lay the foundation for his future development.
