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

Chapter 868 Little Eleven in the Valley
After the second rainstorm, Xia Qing received 150 X-2 spinach seeds. Like his allies, Xia Qing planted half of the spinach seeds in his territory and the other half in a hidden valley.

75 spinach seeds planted in the hidden valley grew 43 spinach seedlings, with a germination rate of 57%. This is because Xia Qing did not use unpolluted spring water to soak the seeds like everyone else, but only used filtered hot spring water in the valley to soak the seeds.

During the more than two months of growth, 5 spinach plants died for various reasons. Of the 38 plants that survived until harvest, 21 were female plants that produced spinach seeds, the highest rate of female plants among the six spinach fields in the valley.

The female plants can produce seeds, which can be sold for money. Xia Qing is happy and his allies are envious.

Zhang Shi helped Xia Qing lift the protective film on top of the spinach. Zhang Shiyi brought three wooden stools, two large and one small. "Auntie Qing, here."

Zhang Shiyi, who has moved into the secluded valley for two months, has a rounder face and can take the initiative to call people.

"Thank you." Xia Qing took the wooden stake and handed Zhang Shiyi a small packaging bag that was only slightly bigger than her small hand. "Shiyi, can you fill this bag with 100 spinach seeds?"

"Yeah." Zhang Shiyi happily took the small bag, sat back to back with her mother, and began to pick the spinach seeds stuck on the protective film, counting them silently with her little mouth moving.

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Xia Qing thought of the shaved monkey in his home whose body twitched, and he felt a blockage in his heart.

After Zhang Shiyi filled the can with 100 seeds, he handed it to Xia Qing, then stared at Xia Qing's fingers counting the seeds with his big eyes nervously.

"No problem, exactly one hundred pills."

After watching Xia Qing put the small bag next to the big bag of spinach seeds, Zhang Shiyi turned to look at her mother. After receiving her mother's encouraging look, the little girl smiled silently. Her cute appearance made Xia Qing want to go home and throw the stupid monkey away every minute.

With the help of Zhang Shiyi and his son, Xia Qing quickly picked up 1995 spinach seeds, pulled up the spinach vines by the roots, and put them into a large packaging bag. Xia Qing would take these spinach seeds and vines back to Tang Huai and exchange them for points.

Before leaving, Xia Qing took out a ten-pound bag of Green Lantern mung bean noodles from his backpack and handed it to Zhang Shi.

This is what Zhang Shi exchanged with her using his points. Xiao Shiyi really likes to eat the noodle soup made from mung bean noodles. Mung bean noodles and white flour are mixed into a dough and rolled thin, then cut into two to three centimeter long triangle noodles with a knife. After the filtered hot spring water is boiled, the noodles, a few green vegetables and a yellow poached egg are added. For seasoning, only a little salt, soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil are added.

The seasonings and eggs used by the mother and son were exchanged with Zhang San.

Little Eleven can eat a bowl of this soup that is bigger than her head.

After handing the noodles to Zhang Shi, Xia Qing took out two pink hair ties with flowers from her backpack and handed them to Zhang Shiyi. "This is the reward for helping me pick spinach seeds. I will send you the strawberry seedlings next time. You can start preparing the strawberry field."

Xia Qing hired Zhang Shiyi to help her catch insects and feed her green peanuts. The reward was five green strawberries. This five-year-old girl would carry a bag and catch insects in the Evolution Forest every day to feed Xia Qing's half an acre of green peanuts.

Seeing her mother nod, Zhang Shiyi took the beautiful hairband and thanked her obediently, "Thank you, Aunt Qing. When will Aunt Qing come over next time?"

Xia Qing gave her a very accurate time, "Tomorrow morning, 7:30."

Tomorrow, she will go to work on Hill No. 55 for the last time.

Such a tender pink color, it is obvious that Xia Qing prepared it for her daughter. Zhang Shi nodded to express his gratitude and pointed to the empty space in the peanut field. "In the back-to-back rain, 45 green-light peanuts were downgraded to yellow-light, 23 were removed, and 78 yellow-light peanuts were removed." The back-to-back rain came suddenly, and the Yi Stone that was rented in the valley during the second rain had been "returned to the Qinglong team". Without the protection of the Yi Stone, the crops in the valley also suffered certain losses in the invasion of the rain.

Xia Qing nodded. "These plants were originally relatively weak. If they had not been protected by the second rain, they would have evolved."

Zhang Shi nodded and asked, "What do you plan to plant after harvesting peanuts?"

Xia Qing has already made a plan. "Grow sunflowers. The sunflower seeds distributed by our base have a 2% chance of aggressive evolution. Planting them here is safer than planting them in the territory. I'm lucky this year. The yellow light sunflowers I planted in the territory produced five cultivatable optimized species, all of which are green light."

Sunflowers are crops that can be used to extract oil. Zhang Shi was very happy to hear that Xia Qing had cultivated green-light quality sunflowers. "The sunflower seeds distributed by our base are dwarf sunflowers used for oil extraction. One flower disk can produce 1500-2000 sunflower seeds, and about 1200 of them are mature and can be used as seeds. If all five flower disks are successfully harvested, that's 6000 seeds. After soaking the seeds in hot spring water, the germination rate should be able to reach 50%, enough to plant an acre of land."

Xia Qing didn't know whether Zhang Shi had just learned the planting technique or was already very good at it. Anyway, she could now explain the planting theory very clearly and use the experimental equipment very smoothly. No matter how you look at it, she is now a real researcher.

The laboratory that Zhang San specially carved out on the stone wall of a hidden valley as an emergency shelter for the mother and daughter was truly put to good use in the hands of Zhang Shi.

Xia Qing nodded. "This kind of sunflower has a growth period of 90-110 days. We can plant it after we harvest the peanuts, and harvest it before we plant the rice seedlings next year. During the growth period of the sunflowers, we will need the help of the Tenth Sister and the Eleventh Sister to take care of them and turn on the supplementary lights for a little longer every day."

Because Xia Qing's one acre of land was near where Zhang Shi and his mother lived, she exchanged materials and asked Zhang Shi and his mother to help with the daily management of the farmland.

Sunflowers are light-loving plants. There is insufficient natural light in the valley, so they need supplementary light.

Zhang Shi nodded, "Okay, just give me 10 green light sunflower discs after the harvest."

"No problem." Seeing Zhang Shiyi looking at him with eyes that could speak, Xia Qing said, "I will be able to harvest sunflowers in the middle of next month. I will pay you 200 green light seeds by then. After the seeds are dormant, you can plant them in the new test field."

When Zhang Shiyi heard Xia Qing's words, his face really lit up.

Zhang Shi thanked him and said, "Sister Qing, can I exchange the yellow light sunflowers that you harvest next month after you press the oil?"

Vegetable oil is one of the important sources of energy needed by the human body. Zhang Shi and his mother are now settled and can cook food with oil like they did before the natural disaster.

"Sure." Xia Qing had planted a lot of sunflowers, which could be exchanged. After selling the spinach seeds and spinach seedlings to Tang Heng, when he returned to the territory, he found that his allies were chatting on the lord's intercom about which territory the thresher and dryer had arrived, while they were chatting in the mobile phone group about what to plant in the farmland in the valley.

Some people wanted to plant sunflowers like Xia Qing, while others wanted to plant potatoes. Without exception, both plants had a certain probability of aggressive evolution, and if they were planted in farmland without Yishi to protect them, they would be like time bombs during the rainy season.

Coincidentally, each lord planned to reserve a place for chicken coops in the fields allocated to them. When the third deadly rain came, they would move their precious yellow-light or green-light chickens in the territory to the valley to "take shelter."

The green lantern crabs that the lords exchanged with the Tang family have been kept in the valley and do not need to be transferred back and forth.

When Xia Qing returned to the territory and turned on the intercom, he heard his allies excitedly discussing the new drug that Huisan Pharmaceutical Factory was about to launch - Scar Cleaner.
