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

Chapter 527 Sixth Ration
In the middle of the night, Xia Qing woke up from a dream, opened a corner of the blackout curtain, and looked at the small house beside the farmland under the starry sky. The blackout effect of the curtains in the small house was not as good as that at home, and the faint light of the night light in the house was transparent through the curtains and windows. This faint light and the smoke from the chimney blended into the starry sky, which was very harmonious.

It was winter now, so this little light wouldn't attract a large number of insects, so it wasn't dangerous. Xia Qing drew the curtains, got up, opened the fireplace on the second floor, added some firewood, and looked down from the stairs, and found that her two companions were looking up at her.

The sheep boss had no expression on his face, the sick wolf grinned, Xia Qing smiled, and said softly, "It's okay, I'll get up and check the fire."

Living in a safe zone, the possibility of being attacked by evolved creatures is indeed much reduced, but the possibility of being harmed by one's own kind is greatly increased.

Blue Planet has evolved, and humans are still the species with the most evolved brains and the most complex minds among all creatures on Blue Planet. There are kind and contented humans, and there are evil and greedy humans. If humans want to develop and continue, goodness must defeat evil and become the main force in formulating and protecting rules and guiding the direction of human development.

Xia Qing didn't know how big the area was, but in this territory, whether it was the lord or the investigation team, good outweighed evil. So for Xia Qing, although it was several times more dangerous than the safe zone during the rain and snow seasons and when the beast and insect tides came, she preferred life here.

Although it is a bit tiring physically here, you don't have to be mentally tense all the time. You can also grow or obtain natural food from the evolution forest to improve your resistance and evolution ability.

If she could see this clearly, it was even more impossible for Tan Junjie not to see through it.

Xia Qing yawned, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, leaned against the warm wall, and continued to sleep.

In the small house beside the farmland, Tan Qi also woke up from the nightmare and sat up suddenly. She stared at the small night light in the house with wide eyes in fear, and it took her several seconds to realize where she was.

This is not the crowded home in the safe zone, nor is it Dad’s small dormitory; this is Territory No. 3.

She was the only one in the house, but the nine-year-old Tan Qi did not feel uneasy or scared. Instead, she felt at ease.

It is very safe here in this house. Xia Qing, the wolves and sheep in the territory neither want to eat her flesh nor drink her blood, nor will they steal her supplies.

Tan Qi lay down and curled up in the quilt. The walls were warm, and the quilt and cushion were soft and warm. She soon closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Xia Qing was awakened by her good neighbor, the red squirrel. After feeding it water and watching its tail dance for free, she turned her eyes to the cottage beside the farmland and found that the curtains of the cottage were open. Like the red squirrel, Tan Qi was busy in the house, apparently doing morning training.

This little girl has a strong sense of crisis and tries desperately to make herself stronger.

"Sister Qing——"

When Xia Qing was inspecting the territory and approaching the farmland, Tan Qi waved to her happily through the window. Because she was not wearing protective clothing or a protective mask, she did not open the window. It was very good to have such risk prevention awareness.

Xia Qing walked over quickly, opened the door and went in. "How did you sleep last night? Were you cold?"

"It's not cold at all. I slept well." Tan Qi smiled happily, pointing to the small pot on the stove that was steaming, and said, "I brought the latest No. 6 compressed rations from the safe zone. They are delicious when cooked into porridge. I also brought steamed buns stuffed with wild vegetables, and I even made some for Sister Qing."

Xia Qing did not reject the girl's kindness. "Okay, I'll inspect the territory first. I'll pick some basil from the greenhouse later and we'll eat it cold."

"Okay!" Tan Qi responded crisply, and did not ask to patrol the territory with Xia Qing or go to the greenhouse to help pick vegetables. During the natural disaster years, everyone had a strong sense of territory. This was Xia Qing's territory, and everything in the territory belonged to Xia Qing. Others could not wander around casually.

After inspecting the territory, Xia Qing went home to get the sick wolf and the sheep boss's food bowls and went directly to the greenhouse. She put dried meat and water on the sick wolf that was feeding the fish and chickens, and poured half a basin of water on the sheep boss who was nibbling grass before picking basil.

After more than a month of growth, the vegetables in the greenhouse have grown up. Xia Qing has removed the fences around the three vegetable plots so that the sheep can go in and graze on the grass planted specifically for them.

These pastures were collected by Xia Qing from the territory in summer and autumn. The grass seeds of the grass that the sheep boss likes to eat were planted. There are both green and yellow light varieties.

In addition to the grass, the three rows of alfalfa that Xia Qing planted also grew well. When alfalfa is tender, it can be eaten by the sheep boss, Xia Qing and the sick wolf, so Xia Qing only let the sheep boss eat two rows of alfalfa, and she and the sick wolf ate the remaining row.

The greedy sheep boss has fresh grass and alfalfa and no longer eats the dry corn leaves.

Xia Qing cut some grass and alfalfa from the greenhouse and fed it to the chickens, mealworms and rabbits in the greenhouse. The sick wolf was very talented in raising fish, and it kept the fish in the water tank well-fed, so Xia Qing didn't have to worry about it at all.

There are three rabbits in the rabbit cage now. The male rabbit was obtained by Xia Qing in exchange with Shi Du, a female rabbit was caught by a sick wolf, and there is a red light female rabbit with bandages tied around its hind legs and neck that Xia Qing shot. Although the poisonous element content of this rabbit is as high as 25‰, Xia Qing, who has poison-reducing agents, pollution-free spring water and green light plants, thinks it can still be saved.

After feeding the animals, Xia Qing picked up two green light eggs, took some basil, and quickly rushed to the hut next to the farmland.

We have to walk fast because the temperature outside is already below minus 25 degrees Celsius. If we walk slowly, the eggs and vegetables will freeze.

After entering the hut beside the farmland and taking off the protective mask, Xia Qing smelled the aroma of food.

"Wow, the perilla grown by Sister Qing is better than the ones grown by my dad and Uncle Ying." Tan Qi took the basket and found two eggs in it. His mouth opened almost as big as the eggs.

Xia Qing was amused by the child's lively expression. "These are the eggs that my chickens just laid. Wash them and boil them in a small pot."

"Okay." Tan Qi washed the eggs and boiled them in a small pot. She then washed the basil and blanched it, added the salt she brought with her and mixed it. She placed it on the table in the small living room, opened the lid of the pot, took out four coarse bread buns, and filled two large bowls of porridge with the bowls she had just washed.

You can tell she does this often and her movements are very skillful.

"Sister Qing, this is the No. 6 ration for the safe zone. The main ingredients of the ration are kelp and corn residue, which are specially used for making porridge." Tan Qi excitedly shared the food with Xia Qing. "The radio said that this is made from the grain grown by the lords. Because some people risked their lives to go out of the safe zone to grow crops, everyone can eat better food."

Xia Qing also listened to the broadcast and learned that the corn residue content in this ration was as high as 10%, which was the highest grain content among the rations sold to the general public. Of course, the price was twice as expensive as the compressed rations with grass as the main ingredient, and it cost 2 points per piece. Of course, this price was half the price of the No. ration with insect powder added, which was reasonable.

Ordinary people doing ordinary work in the safe zone can earn 1-2 points a day, which is just enough to buy a piece of compressed rations to survive.
