silent farm

Chapter 154 Tia began to grow up
In the kitchen, Li Sheng was cutting meat, and Tia was peeling a potato with her hands.

Common potatoes are white or beige.But the one in Tia's hand has purple skin and black flesh.

In fact, there are not no black potatoes. They have been artificially cultivated in China, and the planting area is not small.exist
Potatoes are a slightly toxic, high-starch food that is produced in fairly high yields.The yield per mu is about 15 kilograms, which is a high-yield grain and one of the four major staple grains in the world.Huaxia began to regard potatoes as a staple food in [-].There must be elements of dealing with the food security situation.

It stands to reason that although potatoes are native to South America, they are produced in high mountain areas, and the temperature in Silent Farm is too high, so they are not suitable for planting.

But what Li Sheng found from the space was produced in high-temperature areas, so it would be appropriate to take them out for planting.This kind of black potato is different from the artificial hybridization of Huaxia, and it is completely a natural product.The yield is relatively low, only about 1000 to [-] to [-] kilograms per mu.They are also relatively small, with the largest not exceeding the size of a goose egg.But it has an advantage. The stems and leaves are poisonous like the outside world, but the roots are almost non-toxic.

Although the toxicity of potato roots is not very strong, the toxicity will basically disappear after being cooked at high temperature or with vinegar, but there are always accidents.For example, doctors will advise pregnant women to eat less potatoes as much as possible.So non-toxic is better than poisonous.

Li Sheng didn't intend to use potatoes as a commodity.He just planted some on the land not far from his villa for his own consumption.In addition, some are planted on other arable land for workers, and there is no plan to plant a large number of them.

The two talked while doing their own things.Tia talked about some interesting things about the school and the Ji Luoluo tribe, and of course Li Sheng responded with respect.

Tia mentioned the Ji Luoluo tribe tonight, and Li Sheng remembered his previous plan.The kitchen knife in his hand paused and he turned around and asked, "Do all the men in your tribe know how to bow and arrow?"

"Well, in the forest, if you want to eat meat, you have to hunt, or wait to catch fish during the rainy season. If you don't know how to hunt, it will be looked down upon. Boys start learning bows and arrows at the age of six." Tia said Thinking about the things in the tribe, and remembering the few days when Li Sheng was in the tribe, he was able to hunt prey every day, which made the tribe members respect him very much.She was very happy to think about it.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't it slack now? If we organize a bow and arrow competition, what do you think?"

"Competition? It must be very interesting." There are also bow and arrow competitions in the tribe, but it is usually just a few people playing around.It would be a lot of fun if we could organize a competition for everyone to see.

Tia put down the potatoes, looked at Li Sheng, and said with excitement on her face, "They will be very happy. Is it just for us to participate?" What Ji Luoluo people like most is holding such a large party.Since the food is abundant, they will hold a bonfire almost every week.That is almost impossible in the forest.

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "Of course not. I want everyone who wants to participate, such as the villagers of Aurihimina and the workers on the farm." After thinking about it, he has already decided that he will cooperate with the farm for tourism. The Saura tribe can also involve them if they wish. "If people from other places are willing to participate, of course they can participate."

"Then when is the game? I'll be fine tomorrow." Tia thinks it's a good thing, it will allow the tribe to get in touch with people from other places, and better integrate the tribe into the world.

Tia may be the person in the Ji Luoluo tribe who has the deepest understanding of the world.She knew that since the tribe had moved out, they would definitely come into contact with the world, and if they wanted to survive in this world, they had to work hard to breathe and beat with the world.Otherwise, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

"I'll let Thomas contact the people in Saola Village first. When it will be held, it depends on the situation."

It is about 20 days away from the busy season at most.It should be too late.

Speaking of this incident, it came to an end for the time being. Li Sheng resumed chopping vegetables and said, "Find a time to talk to your father about this matter. If you get the top five at that time, I will give these people a piece of paper to share with you." The bow Papa is using."

When Tia heard this, she also smiled.Her father's bow is much stronger than that of the tribal people, so now her father is always embarrassed, because he always harvests more from hunting.Every time she goes back, she will listen to him boasting.

But she felt that Li Sheng would definitely be better at hunting than her father.

The two worked hard and ate a meal.After messing around in the room for a while, Li Sheng found Tia who was watching TV in the living room with his notebook.

He sat next to Tia, put his notebook on the coffee table and said, "Tia, which plane do you think is better to buy?"

With that said, he showed Tia the downloaded pictures one by one.

Although Tia has been out of the jungle for a while and has learned a lot, she is not familiar with airplanes.Looking at the plane in the picture, it feels like it should be very big.Because those planes are very different from the fixed-wing propeller planes on the farm, at least there are more wheels under the planes, and the planes in the pictures are much larger than people.

She didn't understand these big planes, so she just asked a little strangely: "Is there not enough planes on the farm? Such a big plane must be very expensive."

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng said with a smile: "The planes on the farm can only fly a short distance. I want to buy a plane that can fly farther. In the future, I can fly directly to any place in the world with my own plane. place."

"Oh. But I don't know about these planes."

Li Sheng didn't even think about what suggestions she could offer.And even if he really wants to buy a plane, it's not now.But now he is excited, clicked on one of the photos and said: "There are several types of ultra-long-range aircraft. But these are the newer ones."

The ones he opened are all the largest airliners in the world at present, and there are only three options in his reservation, among which this one is the Airbus A380, and there are also A350 and Boeing 787.These are wide-body aircraft that can fly long distances.

However, he is most optimistic about the A350. There have been many problems with the 787, and the safety is a bit worrying. Although the A380 is large and has a greater range, its fuel consumption is too high, about twice that of the A350.As for the A350, there is now an aircraft that can fly more than 5000 kilometers, and the aircraft is also large enough. This is also the latest model among the three aircrafts. I like this one better.

It's not that he is stingy and unwilling to pay for the fuel, but that after the farm's runway is completed, the three types of aircraft can take off and land normally. At that time, the farm will need to refuel the aircraft, and the amount of fuel can be reduced by half, which is of course a good thing.

Moreover, the interior space of the A350 he is looking at is far less than that of the A380, but the various functional rooms should not be reduced after the modification.

It's a pity that although Tia listened to what he said with a smile, she didn't really understand it very well.After Li Sheng finished talking about her views on the three types of aircraft, she pursed her lips and said, "This type of aircraft is expensive." She already knew the role of money.

Li Sheng was taken aback, these planes are of course very expensive. An A350 costs more than 1 million US dollars, which is still an ordinary passenger plane.If it is converted into a private jet, something more luxurious, it will have to go to more than [-] million, or even [-] million is not out of the question.

Thinking about it now, he also felt a little distressed.Although he is quite rich, spending [-] million US dollars to buy a plane that can't fly a few times a year seems a bit extravagant.

Ali has a large private jet.But that's just the A330.And someone who has money and can't spend it, who can spend 60 billion US dollars to build a swimming pool-of course, gold will always be there.What does Li Sheng compare with others?
It's just that it's really inconvenient to travel without such a private jet. He will probably travel to Europe and Asia frequently in the future, and always go to the big cities there to pay for the ride, which is a bit too troublesome.

After hesitating for a while, he finally turned off the photo, sighed and said, "I'll think about it again."

Seeing him like this, Tia said timidly, "I don't understand. You can buy it if you want."

Li Sheng patted her head with a smile, and said, "I also think it's a bit expensive. Anyway, I don't want to buy it right away, let's think about it again."

Tia smiled again and said, "Li, I beg you one thing."

"Please? What's the matter?" Li Sheng was a little strange.Whenever she said something, he never refused.Today, she needs to ask for words. Could it be that she has any big problems that cannot be solved?
Tia hugged his arm and said flatteringly, "Can you teach my dad to grow potatoes in the future?"

Li Sheng gently pulled out the arm held by her a little uncomfortably, hiding his embarrassment and saying, "That's all?"

Tia looked at him anxiously and nodded: "Potatoes are more productive than cassava, and they are also more delicious."

Li Sheng didn't even think about it and said, "I'll let Cheng Dong and the others arrange it. But we won't be able to plant until the end of the next rainy season."

Tia applied excitedly, then grabbed his arm and said, "Well. As long as they learn how to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, they won't be hungry anymore."

Li Sheng pulled out his arm again without a trace.I can't do without smoking. This girl has started to develop, but she has not yet reached the scale of wearing a BRA. The weather is hot and the two of them are wearing thin clothes.It's a bit of a stretch, and it feels a little strong.

"Don't worry. As long as the farm is still there, I won't let them starve. After all, I made them move out."

Tia pouted slightly, but her expression was still very happy: "That's different. People who can't support themselves will be eliminated by this world one day."

Hearing her words, Li Sheng couldn't help being a little dazed: This girl has only been out of the forest for a little over a year, but she understands a lot of things.

What she said was true. Any nation, no matter whether it can produce enough food by itself or not, must have the ability to support itself.Otherwise, they can only exist on the edge of the world forever. Once there is any turmoil, those people are the most likely to be eliminated by the world.The safest group is the group that can meet its own food needs.As long as it's not that food can't be produced, no matter what happens in the world, otherwise they won't be extinct because of starvation.

That's why so many countries in the world attach great importance to food security.Perhaps it is also the reason why Huaxia began to promote the use of potatoes as a staple food.

Solving the problem of hunger is indeed the most basic problem of all people.
