On the tenth year after the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

When he was thrown out, he was wearing green underwear, clean and smelling good. When he came back, he was dirty and dirty, with eye mucus and snot hanging from his body. Several places on his body were bitten by mosquitoes or pricked by thorns. Broken skin. It hugged the second child's neck tightly with its arms and looked at Xia Qing with hesitation and fear.

Xia Qing, who was holding a shovel, looked at his second son silently.

The boss, who had had enough potato leaves, narrowed his eyes and stared unhappily at the stupid monkey who had made his younger brother unhappy.

The second child walked up to Xia Qing and rubbed her shoulder with his big head. The stupid monkey carefully raised its little black paw, trying to climb onto Xia Qing.

Xia Qing rubbed the second child's head, then lifted the idiot monkey off its back, stared at its stupid face fiercely, and said slowly, "Since the second child is interceding for you, I can give you the last An opportunity."

"Aunt--"

The idiot monkey being carried by Xia Qing opened his mouth and made a new sound, as if begging Xia Qing not to throw it out, but unexpectedly it made Xia Qing angry.

"Straighten your tongue before you speak! I'm not your aunt! Watch!"

Xia Qing squatted the silly monkey next to the basket and taught it how to pick potatoes from the roots and put them into the basket. "This job is left to you!"

No. 002, a temporary worker who made a mistake, learned the lesson after watching Xia Qing grab a few potatoes. He stepped on the potato seedlings with his muddy feet, grabbed the big potatoes with his two dirty little black claws, pulled them out, and put them in the basket next to him. , and then looked at Xia Qing longingly.

"Yes, that's it." Xia Qing warned it for the last time, "You are not allowed to eat secretly, otherwise I will ask the boss to throw you out immediately!"

"Hey!" The boss with the leaf in his mouth responded immediately. He liked this job.

Xia Qing is digging potatoes, Du Gua is picking potatoes, the second child is holding out potato seedlings, the sheep boss is monitoring the temporary workers, and the potato harvesting speed in No. 3 Territory has accelerated.

Employee No. 001, Xiao Feimao, jumped around in the field, digging to loosen the soil to eat small insects. Potatoes are not its food, bugs are.

The speed of the stupid monkey was much faster than when it was thrown out. After the four baskets were full, Xia Qing and the sheep boss carried the potatoes home, weighed them and put them upside down in the arbor that had been set up in the yard to dry. Then when he went back to collect potatoes with the basket, he found that the stupid monkey was in a daze holding a potato seedling.

Xia Qing went over to take a look and understood.

On the potato seedling it is holding, there are a bunch of potato fruits that look like small tomatoes.

Potatoes are not fruits, but tubers that grow from the roots of potatoes. Potato fruit grows after the potato plant blooms.

Potato fruit contains a large amount of the toxic substance solanine, which tastes numb and astringent. It cannot be eaten or used as seeds. It can only be thrown away or retting.

Before entering the territory to farm, Xia Qing didn't know that potatoes could actually grow fruit. So after the potatoes began to bloom and bear fruit in April and May last year, her expression when she saw these little fruits was like a fool.

After asking Qi Fu and learning that the fruit was useless, Xia Qing even plucked it out. This year she also grabbed the fruit on the potato seedling held by the stupid monkey. It grew in a relatively hidden position, so it escaped Xia Qing's "venomous hand".

Xia Qing pretended not to notice the idiot monkey's stupidity and continued digging potatoes.

The silly monkey took this different potato seedling and thought about it for a while, then used his little black claws to pick off the small green fruit and put it into the basket, and continued working.

After harvesting all the potatoes, Xia Qing counted the output.

A total of 3,100 kilograms of potatoes were harvested in the two Gaoyi element terraces. After the little soil on the potatoes dried and fell off, the amount was at least 3,000 kilograms, equivalent to a yield of nearly 20,000 kilograms per mu.

The reason for such a high yield is not only because the evolved potatoes are taller than before the natural disaster and grow more potatoes, but also because the high-slope terraces have good soil and good fertilizer and water. Stones protect the terraces.

If the cost of Yishi is also included, it will be a loss.

In shed No. 6, which was not protected by Gaoyi element soil and Yishi, a total of 2,500 kilograms was harvested, equivalent to a yield of 11,000 kilograms per mu.

This yield is equivalent to the yield introduced in the Farming Knowledge Broadcast. This is valuable data.

It is precisely because of the amazing yield of potatoes that the Territory Management Department distributed potatoes to the lords even though they knew clearly that potatoes did not meet the standards for promotion of planting.

They care more about crop yields than the safety of their lords.

The situation is different now. With the emergence of Class B magnetic evolvers, the probability of potato plants evolving aggressively has been greatly reduced, and planting can be promoted again.

If the planting is successful, by next summer, ordinary people in the safety zone who eat grass rations can also use the points they earn to exchange for a few kilograms of cheap yellow potatoes.

After planting the oil sunflower, Xia Qing loaded the potatoes harvested from the cultivated land into the bucket of the mini-tiller and sent them to the canteen of the Ninth Planting Center.

The Ninth Planting Center now has a total of 402 people, including 320 regular employees and 82 family members.

The reason why the number of family members is so small is because the family members of veterans who meet the entry requirements have also joined the Ninth Center. For example, Geng Min's family of four entered the territory yesterday. Her mother-in-law is taking care of the children at home, and her father Geng Xu has joined the warehouse management department.

Among the 82 family members, there are 45 children under the age of 15 studying in school, and 37 adult family members who do not meet the entry requirements. These children and their families can also eat in the canteen after paying points as required.

Currently, the vegetables consumed by the Ninth Center are exchanged with the lords, and the staple food is still rations.

When Zhong Tao, the director of the warehouse management department, saw the cart of potatoes that Xia Qing pulled over, his mouth was watering, "Director, this cart of potatoes is enough for us to eat for two months!"

The warehouse management department employees were all smiling, potatoes are good, they are good to resist hunger and delicious. At the critical moment, it is their director who is awesome!

Geng Xu, who was standing in the crowd, had not seen so much food in eleven years. He resisted rushing over and grabbed the potatoes and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

The Ninth Center has strict management. If he did this, he would be fired and kicked out, and it would also implicate his daughter and granddaughter.

Xia Qing nodded, "Brother Tao weighed the potatoes and put them into the warehouse, and calculated the payment according to the market price, and put it in the account first."

The planting management department has not yet transferred the full amount of the Ninth Center's operating points, so the center is now operating in debt. Not only this batch of potatoes, but also the vegetables exchanged by the canteen for the No. 15 territory are also on credit first.

However, this situation will not last long. In another month, the vegetables grown by the center will be able to meet the food needs of employees; in another four months, the staple food of employees will no longer be based on rations.

It is precisely because of the promising prospects that the employees of the Ninth Center work so enthusiastically under such difficult conditions.

When Xia Qing rushed to the office, she asked Yan Yue to inform the people who came to the meeting that they were all there.

Xia Qing first talked about the first topic, "Luo Pei, the third leader of the Qinglong team, sent back news that the battle between the sea beasts and raptors in Guiwu is getting more and more intense, which is likely to cause a bird tide. Brother Yue is the commander to deal with the bird tide, and Guo Chongjun is the deputy commander to resist the bird tide with all his strength. Once the bird tide invades the northern area, I will guard the northwest corner of the No. 9 territory and be responsible for sniping the large raptors in the sky."

The northwest corner of the Ninth Center is the southeast corner of the No. 3 territory. The top sniper Xia Qing stands in this position, and the effective range can cover the No. 3 and No. 9 territories.

"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" Security Director Guo Chongjun stood up and responded loudly.

He is a dual-system evolver with level 5 hearing and level 4 vision. After being poisoned and discharged from the army, he relied on general antidotes to prolong his life in the safe zone. After the establishment of the Ninth Center, Yue Haiying brought him to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing took Guo Chongjun's blood sample into the No. 7 territory and asked the idol to prepare a specific medicine for him.

Therefore, Xia Qing is not only Guo Chongjun's leader, but also his savior and creditor.

After Yue Haiying and Guo Chongjun went out, Xia Qing began to discuss the potato planting with Yan Yue and Mao Chuntai. (End of this chapter)
