Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm
Chapter 14: Tidying and Tilling
Climbing to the top floor in one breath, Wei Xuan hurriedly collected a pile of dried vegetables and dried meat into several plastic baskets before the night was completely dark, and took Du Hang back to the second floor together. In the temporary room upstairs. Pull the heavy curtains completely, and turn on the dual-purpose solar flashlight as a desk lamp. Then I found a large pile of non-woven bags from some store, and started to process the dried vegetables, fruits, tofu and meat that had been thoroughly dried.
Two weeks is enough to completely dry these moisture-rich things, and even many things will be overdried, too thin, like shredded paper, and will crumble into **** with a light touch.
Fortunately, many green leafy vegetables have special drying skills. Although Wei Xuan did not handle them himself in his previous life, he mentioned several methods when dealing with the mutated plants that circulated in the base at that time and could be used as staple food. , so far, the effect is not bad.
Those green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and cabbage, should not be directly exposed to the sun before they are ready to be processed. Put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry for half a day or directly blanch them in boiling water, and then take them out to ventilate and dry them to grow. Time saved. Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can just take it out and expose it to the sun, but the taste will not be very good when you eat it, and the dried vegetables will be too dry and will break when touched, which is inconvenient for subsequent processing.
The LED lighting of the flashlight is still very powerful, and the thick curtains are enough to protect the privacy of this room from being discovered by people who may pass by outside or live in nearby residential buildings.
Wei Xuan had tested this place at night after he had just selected this place as a place to stay: he turned on the mobile light in the bedroom and stood downstairs to observe the living effect when it was blocked by thick curtains. If there is a gap in the curtains, people outside will not be able to see the light that is tightly blocked by the curtains.
Different vegetables are picked from the rope and put into different pockets, because most of the vegetables that come to dry in this building are dried after boiling water, so although the vegetables are completely dried, their texture is relatively smooth. Tough, not fragile, easy to store. After stuffing each vegetable into a non-woven bag, Wei Xuan simply sewed the opening of the bag with a thick needle and strong thread—this kind of breathable cloth bag is more suitable than plastic bags for these things. Although he can't sew too detailed things, he can still do it by simply sewing two more circles on the seal.
After processing the green leafy vegetables, he had to clean up those dried fruits, dried meat, etc., and of course dried vegetables such as potatoes and pumpkins. Wei Xuan hardly handled these things too carefully before processing them. Of course, the fresh meat will be coated with salt and other things, but compared with the real air-dried chicken and duck, the taste of these meats processed by him is definitely not as delicious as those processed by professionals, and if you want to soak them It also takes a very long time.
But in the last days, no matter how unpalatable the taste of these things is, they are still meat! It is a very rare meat in the last days!
Wei Xuan didn't think those mutated animals would enter the city after the end of the world and wander around in a city full of zombies. They would rather attack the human base established by the survivors and catch the living to eat than pay attention to the group of walking dead. . And his own fighting style determines that he can only kill zombies that do not actively attack him relatively easily. Even zombie animals may not buy him, let alone these mutated animals that have become more and more ferocious?
But in just one night, Wei Xuan packed up all the things that had been hanging in the top floor house before. It has to be said that this is much faster than when he handled these things and hung them up to dry. Of course, the amount of materials that Wei Xuan actually got to the roof of this building is not too much.
The untwisted strings were all put away, and they were not put back on the top floor, but in a storage room on the first floor. Wei Xuan took out his small notebook again, and studied a detailed map of T City inside. After studying it carefully for a while, he raised his head and looked towards the direction of the heavy curtains in a daze.
The roar of cars on the street outside can be heard even in the night. Of course, there are more explosions, screams, and brakes caused by unknown reasons. At this time, just after the darkness before dawn, the first rays of sunlight quietly fell on the city.
Just when the dawn really came, many people who had worked up their courage and prepared all night finally seized this last opportunity and used the army to withdraw from T City to lure away many good friends who heard the news and left the zombies. Opportunity, the last wave of people who have the courage and equipment to rush out acted in unison.
They walked out of their homes one after another, grabbed all kinds of means of transportation, or simply ran towards the edge of the city on foot, and fled towards the direction they each thought might be safe.
Almost at the same time, most of the last survivors in various cities in the country also started to take action, taking advantage of this last chance to escape from their former homes. At this time, most of the people who are still in the city are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have almost no ability to escape, while the rest of the people, although there are still young people, have no way or cannot leave. The survivors who stayed in the city themselves knew that their future was bleak, and no one could predict the possible future direction...
—————
Wei Xuan stood on the top floor of the building he lived in, held up his binoculars and looked out from the windows in all directions, and listened carefully to the sounds that might come from outside that were not zombies.
It has been nearly three days since that team entered the city for rescue, and since the evening of the second day after the team entered the city, there has been no sound of roaring cars. It can be seen from this that this city has entered a safe period compared to Wei Xuan and Du Hang.
That's right, only when almost all the survivors were evacuated, could Wei Xuan dare to go out and act normally, without worrying about any accidents and dangers that might be caused by being discovered.
Of course, there must still be survivors in this city, but Wei Xuan will not take the initiative to provoke them, and his ability is not enough for him to protect someone in this completely zombified city, or hide his heart Unpredictable people. But now, he needs to hurry up and get busy with other things to ensure that his and Du Hang's life can be relatively stable in the future.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go out." Putting down the binoculars, Wei Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and took Du Hang's arm who had been by his side, and led him to a room on the first floor, where he picked up two Red supermarket with plastic baskets, walking towards the outside.
In the basket were all pieces of sprouting potatoes and carrots with roots that Wei Xuan had cut up last night.
That's right, these things are what Wei Xuan has been planting in the entire city since the end of the world. That is, the good things that he needs to rely on in the future and can provide food.
During the three years of the last days, after tireless research and experiments in various bases remaining in the country, it can be confirmed that most of the animals and plants before the last days have undergone mutations. Among them, mutant animals are no longer suitable for human breeding, so the lack of meat in the base has been exposed to all survivors almost from the beginning. Fortunately, there is no meat to eat, and there are vegetables and grains. After screening all the edible and non-toxic mutant plants, people finally found several high-yielding, relatively nutritious crops for large-scale cultivation at the base.
Although the taste of those things is much worse than before the end of the world, as long as you can have a full stomach at this time, it is good!
Among them, mutant potatoes are especially popular among the survivors of various bases. The main reason is that the growth time of mutated potatoes after sowing becomes many times faster than that of normal potatoes before the end of the world. Before the end of the world, it takes at least five months for ordinary potatoes to be harvested, but after the end of the world, this thing It can be harvested after only growing for more than two months! And it can be planted in seasons other than severe winter!
This kind of food, which has a large yield, fast sowing and harvesting speed, and much better taste than other mutated crops, naturally immediately replaced the status of rice miscellaneous grains, and became an important staple food in the base.
In addition, there is also a plant called carrot. After the end of the world, its growth and seeding method is somewhat similar to that of potatoes, and although it takes about three months for the mutated carrot to be harvested, it is rich in vitamins and has a good taste and texture. The best choice for people's balanced nutrition after the end of the world. If these two foods are combined for daily consumption, they can fully supply the normal nutritional needs of ordinary people.
In particular, the fruits in the last days can definitely be regarded as rare varieties. Although the taste of carrots is a little worse than before the last days, they are still crispy, sweet and refreshing. If eaten raw, they can be used as fruits to supplement nutrition and water. It is the most popular vegetable in the base besides potatoes.
Of course, carrots are not as good as potatoes in that their output is much less than potatoes. After the complete carrots grow beards, they need to be planted first, and the carrots can only be grown after the seeds are produced. So it can only be eaten once in a while, if you eat it every day...that is, only those who have some status in the base can afford it.
When Wei Xuan has nothing to do recently, of course he finds out the sprouted potatoes at home and cuts them into baskets, picks out the carrots with beards, and takes these things out to dig holes and grow vegetables while checking the situation.
Come here every once in a while, so that the harvest time of these things is spaced apart, forming a good cycle pattern that is often eaten. While cultivating, you can also clean up the mutated and aggressive plants in advance, so as to avoid letting them grow wildly in the city and affect your personal safety.
This kind of thing that benefits the people and self can beautify the natural environment after the end of the world. It is always harmless to do more, isn't it?
