MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 31 harvest

Grandma Yu carefully inspected the sprouted plants, patted the dirt on her legs and straightened her waist. She didn't know whether those people who left after the earthquake escaped or not, but when she wanted to win her over before those people left, she had no intention of following them. The reason is nothing else. If you just need to leave the community and find a vehicle, you can go out of the city and go to the survivor's base to live safely. Then why don't people from those bases go to the city to fight zombies? Recover the city?

This must be because they don't have this ability! Or that there is no such spare capacity! I am afraid that they themselves are also facing a major crisis, and they have no time to take care of the situation in the city. At that time, when the survivors like myself arrive in those bases, it is still unknown whether they can live well!

"Okay, let's do this first. From now on, I will come up every day to look at it and water it. I don't know about other things. Potatoes are easy to feed, and they are grown in large quantities. In the past famine years, they were all counted on. There are sweet potatoes." With that said, she turned and walked towards the stairs.

Long ago, before the end of the world, the son and daughter-in-law would clean up the balcony to relieve their boredom. I don't like to grow those flowers and plants, but I have tried to grow a lot of vegetables. It's a pity that when the end of the world came, more than half of the things inside died, and only some good things remained.

After the apocalypse, when I was worried that my family would run out of food, I took advantage of my spare time to plant all the germinated potatoes and sweet potatoes at home. As a result, the sweet potatoes died, but the potatoes germinated and grew.

Now after discussing with those who are not ready to leave, everyone took out some vegetables and grains that might be grown at home, and set up a planting base on the roof together. If this method works, as long as there are no natural disasters or accidents, they will definitely be able to survive in this damned end of the world!

—————

Wei Xuan is digging potatoes happily, and the first wave of potatoes he cultivated in the community has begun to ripen one after another in the past few days!

In fact, in comparison, the potatoes planted in some green belts outside should mature earlier than these potatoes, but those potatoes are relatively scattered and spaced a little far away, and they stayed at home for half a month. Wei Xuan was too lazy to move for the time being, and there was still a lot of food at home, so he gave priority to processing his own potatoes after they matured—even if the outside ones don’t care about them, they will ripen by themselves when no one cares about them at all. , grow, and slowly spread more and more.

The post-apocalyptic mutated potatoes are different from those before the apocalypse. They no longer need to be replanted with other crops to cultivate the land every time they are sown. They only need to chop up their yellowed leaves and seedlings after harvesting these potatoes and mix them into the soil. can be used as nourishment. Of course, it’s okay not to do this, but the output will decrease later.

Therefore, the mutated potatoes planted in the wilderness with no one to take care of them will grow better—because when they mature, all the withered seedlings will stay in place, and after being blown by wind and rain, they will become their own fertilizer. It is just that the frequency of harvesting is slower than that of human cultivation.

Du Hang followed closely behind Wei Xuan. Every time he took a step forward and dug the potatoes under the soil, Du Hang would follow up. There are several empty plastic baskets hanging on Du Hang's arms. Whenever Wei Xuan fills up one and zooms in on the ground, he takes an empty one from Du Hang who is following him.

For half a month, Du Hang did not show any humane behavior in other places. The only difference from before was that every time he met the male and female zombies, he no longer ignored them as before. , but every time I have to stare at each other for a while with the elder of the pair of zombies...

Wei Xuan didn't know if this was the territorial consciousness of the zombies? Maybe Du Hang regards this living quarter as his own territory, so he will become hostile after entering two zombies whose behavior is obviously different from other zombies?

Of course, it's not accurate to say hostility, because apart from the rope incident, there was no direct confrontation between the pair of zombies and Du Hang, but it was as if they were two enemies who seemed to dislike each other. Every time they meet, there will be a strange aura, which makes Wei Xuan start to wonder whether these two guys have known each other before the end of the world and have enmity?

Wei Xuan's doubts are destined to be unable to get any effective explanation, so he continues to take care of his own home with peace of mind - yes, this community has now been classified by him into his own territory, and he is here Owner! As for the zombies wandering around in the community... At present, they are all alarms to help him watch his house.

Having said that, after the male and female zombies lived in the room Wei Xuan prepared for them on the first day, they disappeared on the second day, making Wei Xuan wonder if they ran back to the previous park? For this reason, he was worried and melancholy for a while, but when he took Du Hang to the top floor of the building, he saw the pair of zombies standing in a room looking out at the scenery...

Some people seem to naturally like to be in a higher place. Compared with those who live on the first floor and have a small yard, these people would rather climb to the top floor every day, just to be able to see higher, farther, and closer to the blue sky. closer. So it's normal for this hobby of zombies. So Wei Xuan simply left the room on the sixth floor that they chose for them, as long as they don't have nothing to do to jump off the building, Wei Xuan will not interfere with their free movement at all.

After thoroughly treating a piece of vacant land for planting, Wei Xuan dug deeply for a while after harvesting all the potatoes, and finally found the "snowflakes" hidden deep in the soil, and carefully collected them.

If he remembered correctly, when the time entered August, there would be no rain for a week except for the one week after the destined strange snowfall, and relatively frequent rains would begin in the days to come. Once it rains, the traces of these "snowflakes" will be even more difficult to find, so Wei Xuan now needs to dig out more snowflakes when collecting potatoes, so as to supply the consumption of himself and Du Hang, as well as the new neighbors in the community. share.

"Let's deal with all the potatoes in the community today, and after a few days, after the potatoes germinate, we can go out and plant another wave of potatoes." After completely turning over the open space, Wei Weixuan Tired and relieved, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sighed in a satisfied tone.

Du Hang maintained a perfect posture of carrying the basket, obediently following Wei Xuan's side.

After dealing with this area, Wei Xuan turned around and found out that a whole row of supermarket plastic baskets had been placed on the open space next to the green space, and all of them were stuffed with potatoes. Du Hang, who kept the perfect posture of carrying the baskets, now only had a basket on his wrist. Three empty baskets.

He quickly got up and hung two baskets full of potatoes on each of Du Hang's arms, and stuffed two baskets full of potatoes in his hands. He also carried eight baskets in the same posture and went straight to the one not far away, which was completely occupied by Wei Xuan. Clean building, put all these things in a room on the first floor, and Wei Xuan led Du Hang to run around several times before he brought all the baskets in.

Faced with this grand harvest, Wei Xuan couldn't help but feel a little headache when he was feeling relieved - he had planted a lot of potatoes in batches before, and besides that, there were still a lot of carrots waiting to be harvested. If only those two free-living zombies could help move things...

After thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up. The two of them were not the same as my family, not to mention that I couldn't eat much by myself, so let the potatoes farther away go. Unless a natural disaster caused a large-scale failure of the potato harvest, he wouldn't ask for guilt and go all over the city to harvest potatoes.

Of course, when it's time to plant, you still need to take out the sprouted potato sprouts and plant one.

"I have potatoes, let's eat potato stew tonight!" Looking at the fresh, round, big and small potatoes in the storage room on the first floor, Wei Xuan felt that his eyes were wide open. is shining.

He is not very good at cooking, and he basically buys and eats when he is working before the end of the world. Most of the time after the end of the world, people are eating instant noodles and various convenience foods. And now, after harvesting a bunch of fresh potatoes, he decided to try to improve his meal by making some ragout himself.

He has taken out the meat to serve with potatoes in advance and soaked it in clean water. The meat was the fresh meat he harvested from some butcher shops in the early days of the end of the world. When processing it, he smeared it with salt and hung it in a ventilated and cool room to dry.

In the eyes of Wei Xuan in his previous life, this kind of meat was a delicacy in the world that he could only think about but never had the chance to taste, so when he heard someone discussing how to deal with the meat in the base of his previous life, he shared it with other people. Those people also listened very carefully and remembered very deeply.

At that time, almost everyone was thinking in their hearts, if there is a chance to get a piece of meat in the future—such as the frozen meat of a mutated animal, or finding that there is still a freezer in a large company that has not been powered off, these methods should be used. Got it? !

Therefore, although almost everyone knows that they may not have the opportunity to practice these methods in the future, they still remember the steps carefully.

But he didn't expect that the method that he didn't have a chance to use at that time was learned by Wei Xuan in this life.

At this time, Wei Xuan's stomach had already started to growl because he was busy for a long time, but he resolutely endured and prepared to have a big meal after finishing his long-awaited potato stew!
