Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Ye Fu took half a bucket of cold water, threw the whip into the bucket, and then added saponin to soak it. Soaking the bloodstained whip for two hours could not only remove the blood stains, but also make the whip more resilient.

It is 04:30 in the afternoon. Wan Tao and Liu Zhang came by on a tricycle. Behind the tricycle was a large pot of herbal tea, fruit and cold noodles.Ye Fu washed his hands, and was going to drink a bowl of herbal tea to dispel the heat.

"Is the base planning to grow food recently? When I came back just now, I saw more than a dozen trucks pulling manure to the farmland?"

"Thirty to forty acres of land have been reclaimed. Brother Cheng said that the land is too barren and needs to be sprinkled with some fertilizer. After the fertilizer is sprinkled, he plans to grow cassava, sweet potatoes, and potatoes."

"These three crops don't choose the growth environment, and can be more varied."

The breeding area of ​​the base has been built. Tomorrow, Jiang Rong and Shen Li will go there to deliver grass and straw. After the straw is broken, they can be fed to livestock. Three quarters of the livestock in the space are from the base. Over time, the number has also increased a lot. After deducting the [-]% that Ye Fu and Jiang Rong deserved, the number of livestock returned to the base, just the number of pigs, exceeded [-].

"The water area of ​​the freshwater lake is very wide. If there is not enough food to feed livestock, you can actually enclose an area to grow water hyacinths. Water hyacinths reproduce very quickly. The most important thing is that they can be fed to pigs, but water hyacinths will damage the water quality."

Ye Fu thought about it for a while, and continued, "You can also plant some cacti in the desert. Not only can cacti be fed to livestock, people can also eat them, and they can bear fruit. Plantains may not be suitable for planting on grasslands and deserts, but there is a kind of The plant, called Diyong golden lotus, is a kind of Musaceae plant unique to the Southwest. It should be able to be planted. I have some seeds here. After I cultivate the seedlings, Shen Li, you send them to the base and let them transplant them. Try to see if it can survive. Diyong nasturtium also grows in clumps. The fruit can be eaten. Peel off the outer layer of the stem, and the innermost tender heart can be stewed or fried. The most important thing is that this plant It can also be fed to livestock, one Diyong golden lotus can feed three pigs for a meal."

Shen Li's eyes lit up, Tas desert is so big, if dozens of acres of cactus are planted, wouldn't the livestock's rations be solved?
As for water hyacinth, once the water quality is damaged, it will be very difficult to clean and restore, so this solution can only be used as an alternative.

It's the first time he's heard of a plant called Diyong golden lotus, but he believes in Ye Fu, Ye Fu thinks it can be planted, and that's a good thing.

At 07:30, Wan Tao called everyone to go back to dinner with a loud voice, and Ye Fucai stood up with his waist supported.

"Sister-in-law, can I get a few cacti from you? I can express my opinion on this matter for Brother Cheng. When they are planted in the desert, [-]% of the fruit will be returned. The seedlings of the golden lotus will also be taken from you." Some, at that time, will be divided into [-] and [-] according to your agreement."

"By the way, Brother Jiang and I went out to deliver supplies in the morning. When we came back, we ran into Brother Cheng's assistant. He said that the base had recently captured some extremists. Let's bring them back tomorrow."

The seedling cultivation of Diyong golden lotus is similar to the fruit seedling cultivation. The seeds are put into the seedling block, watered and then covered with film, and they can germinate in about half a month.

Twenty is enough.

"There should be twenty."

Jiang Rong cut the cut leaves into pieces, and Ye Fu was in charge of inserting the cut pieces of cactus into the soil.

More than 20 mu of agricultural land on the grassland has also been reclaimed. If the desert cannot be planted, it will be planted on the grassland.

"There are so many thorns, and the cactus leaves are so fat. I remember that some foreigners' staple food is cactus, which can be fried and made into various candies."

"First cut ten clumps, cut the cactus leaves into small pieces, and insert them directly into the soil for cultivation. No watering is required. In fact, sandy land is more suitable for cactus survival, with sufficient sunshine and rapid growth."

"Then trouble everyone, sister-in-law, don't be polite to the base. Once the planting is successful, the base will definitely plant tens of acres or even hundreds of acres. Five hundred catties is too little. There are a dozen of us, and five hundred catties is not enough. Eat, and Brother Cheng will not agree, everyone thinks that [-]% is too much, then [-]%, anyway, I can't let you work for nothing." Shen Li insisted very much, and Ye Fu agreed.

"Is the predecessor of dragon fruit a cactus?" Jiang Rong was curious.

"It should be, they are all plants of the same family."

"Okay, then we wish the base planting a success."

There are many cacti planted in the space. Speaking of the source of these cacti, I have to thank Police Officer Song. Back then, he donated a section of cactus to Ye Fu. Ye Fu kept the cactus and planted it as a potted plant. The land has now grown to dozens of clumps.

"There are many agronomy experts in the base. Later, I asked Brother Cheng to ask them if they can grow dragon fruit on the branches of cactus."

After the ten clusters of cactus were finished, the three continued to insert the cut cactus into the soil. Ye Fu asked Shen Li to greet Cheng Lin in advance and divide the area for planting cactus this morning.

Shen Li put on gloves and cut off the cactus leaves with a sickle. As long as the roots are left, new palm leaves will grow in a few days.

Ye Fu clicked his tongue twice, "Didn't you think of keeping the seeds after eating so many fruits?"

"Does this need special cultivation? There are still a lot of dragon fruits in the storage area. Pick out the seeds and plant them in the seedling cube, and then they can be planted. There is no need to graft them, and they will be dragon fruits."

Shen Li was a little ashamed, "I didn't think so much when I was eating."

Hearing this, Ye Fu's eyes lit up, "That's great, let's bring it back tomorrow, let them clean the medicinal materials, and everyone else will come over to grow seedlings, how many people are there?"

[-]% of cactus fruit and ground lotus are too much, Ye Fu waved his hands with a smile, "[-] catties of cactus and [-] tons of ground lotus are enough, the dozens of clusters of cactus in space can grow hundreds of cactus a year Jin, as for the ground lotus, I also plan to plant some in the space to feed the pigs, so let’s cut off the cactus leaves later, put them in the soil to cultivate the roots, and then plant them in the desert , so the chances of survival are higher.”

After drinking the herbal tea, Ye Fu, Jiang Rong and Shen Li went to chop the cactus.

At the end of a busy day, after dinner, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong went for a walk in the yard to digest food. Tang Yizheng went to inspect the labor tent. Two big white wolves supervised them. Hand over the labor to Tang Yizheng for management, and he will go to inspect it every morning and evening.

Wan Tao and the others were doing Tai Chi in the yard, Xuxu and An An followed behind, gesticulating.

The yard was filled with green plants and flowers planted by Officer Song, and there were two swings beside it.

"Everyone, do you have supper tonight?" Officer Song asked while watering the flowers.

Friends, because this book has more than 100 million words, the number of words is a bit too much, so the editor suggested that I start to stabilize two updates.
