In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Storage of Potatoes

The news broadcast at Huisan Base in the evening mentioned the sudden hail.

"At five o'clock this morning, the area north of the safety zone was hit by extremely severe weather - hail and heavy rain. The hail lasted between twenty and forty minutes, and the heavy rain lasted between fifteen and forty-five minutes. Safety The lords in the northern part of the district responded quickly, and the crops in the territory did not suffer serious losses..."

It seems that the northern part of the safety zone was hit by heavy rain and hail. Judging from the duration of heavy rain and hail reported on the radio, the territory where Xia Qing is located is not the area that has been affected by the disaster for the longest time.

Xia Qing was not allowed to think too much. The announcer announced another piece of breaking news, "This afternoon, a large number of evolved marine creatures landed at the Guisan Base, causing a large gathering of evolved raptors."

Hearing this news, Xia Qing knew where Luo Pei, the top sharpshooter at Huisan Base, had gone.

Evolutionary raptors are the most difficult group of birds to deal with. They gather at the Guisan base to peck at the marine life that has landed, and will not disperse until they are full. They may fly in groups in any direction to look for food.

Humans living in groups are their favorite food.

Huisan Base must have summoned a team to deal with the swarm of evolutionary birds that may fly over. In the event of such a major crisis, it is estimated that not only Luo Pei, but also Yang Jin, the boss of the Qinglong team, may have been summoned.

Where is Zhang San? Why did he leave the territory urgently?

After listening to the news broadcast, it's time for the weather forecast, which is still normal.

But Xia Qing, who had just experienced something abnormal, felt uneasy when he heard the word "normal" and always wanted to do something.

After experiencing it personally, she deeply felt the difficulty of farming. After planting crops and working hard for several months, a natural disaster may destroy them all.

This is all about relying on the weather. If you don't want to lose everything, you must be as prepared as possible to fight against natural disasters.

After the weather forecast, there is a daily broadcast of farming knowledge.

Announcer Wang Chuqi's voice still sounds so comfortable and full of hope, "Congratulations to all the lords for another big harvest: the potatoes you planted in March can finally be harvested after four and a half months of growth. "

“Although the growth period of potatoes after the great evolution of Blue Star biology is more than a month longer than before the evolution, the yield and taste have also been greatly improved. The lords who have tried potato peeling must agree with this.”

Wang Chuqi's voice was filled with joy, "Potatoes are a crop that can be used as a staple food, a vegetable, and can also be used to make snacks. Tomorrow's Gourmet World program will give a detailed introduction to the recipe of potato delicacies. Below, by Let me talk to the lords about potato storage."

The key point came, and Xia Qing immediately clenched the pen in her hand.

"In addition to the insect and bacteria prevention that must be paid attention to when preserving food, three points should be paid attention to when storing evolutionary potatoes: first, ventilation, second, light protection, and third, moisture proof. After the potatoes were harvested, the lords spread them out to dry in a cool and ventilated place. place for twelve to twenty-four hours to allow the moisture on the surface of the potatoes to evaporate..."

Wang Chuqi was talking and Xia Qing was taking notes. Because she was afraid of not remembering everything, she also turned on the recording function on her phone so that she could check for any gaps after the broadcast.

"... Under the premise of ensuring the storage temperature, even if the lords use a dry air-sealed storage method, the shelf life of potatoes is only thirty days at most. Therefore, experts from the planting center do not recommend that the lords save the seeds themselves. You can exchange the uneaten potatoes to the team, or you can give the potatoes you want to plant to the team, and the team will send them back to the territory management department.”

“The Territory Management Department will put the potatoes saved by the lords into safe area storage warehouses and return them to everyone next year.”

"Lords who have not been punished to cancel the lord's preferential policy can store potato seeds within ten kilograms in the safe zone storage warehouse for free; for more than ten kilograms and less than thirty kilograms, storage fees will be charged at ten points per kilogram; for those exceeding thirty kilograms The undamaged potatoes exchanged by the lords will be charged at twenty-five points per catty. Damaged potatoes will be purchased at an appropriately lower price depending on the circumstances..."

After finishing the farming knowledge, Xia Qing turned off the radio, turned on the walkie-talkie, and listened to what the lords had to say while sorting out his notes.

The first person to speak today was Tang Zhengbo, "Brother and sister, are Qi Fu awake?"

“I woke up when it was almost dark, thank you Tang Dong for taking care of me.” Although Qi Fu tried hard to act normal, there was still obvious weakness in his voice. Hearing that Qi Fu woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the Lord's channel became relaxed.

Shi Zhong said with a smile, "Surviving a catastrophe is bound to be a blessing. Something good will happen to me next, brother Qi. You can wake up this time, thanks to Dr. Chang, Xia Qing, and the third brother. You have to thank them properly." "

Qi Fu replied, "Brother Shi is right, thank you Dr. Chang, Sister Xia Qing and Third Brother, and thank you all for always thinking about me."

Zhang San was not here, and no one said anything in Territory No. 7. Kuang Qingwei spoke up, "That's right. We are all neighbors. Brother Qi has been recovering from his injuries for the past few days. If you need any heavy work in the fields, he will call me. Although I was also hit by hail, I can still move."

Zhao Ze also followed, "Yes, Brother Qi has something to talk about."

Tang Huai snorted coldly and said to his father and brother, "It's all an afterthought. When Qi Fu's wife cried for medicine, these people didn't even give a shit. I don't believe they have no medicine."

Tang Zhengbo taught his son, "You also have it in your hand."

Tang Heng opened his mouth and said silently to his brother from an angle that his father could not see:

Brother, you didn't fart either.

Tang Huai slapped his brother and smiled at his father, "My relationship with Qi Fu hasn't reached that level yet."

“The friendship between them is not that great.” Knowing that Zhang San gave him life-saving medicine, he was reluctant to use it to save outsiders. It was normal.

Tang Zhengbo asked his youngest son, "What is the relationship between Xia Qing and Qi Fu?"

Tang Heng replied, "When we were in the safe zone, both Xia Qing and Qi Fu worked in the construction team. Qi Fu was the captain and Xia Qing was the deputy captain. However, they were not in the same team, but they knew each other. After coming to the territory, When Xia Qing was farming and didn't understand something, he would ask Qi Fu for help through the intercom.”

Tang Zhengbo nodded, "Xia Qing is a person worth getting to know deeply."

Tang Huai secretly rolled his eyes. Even if Xia Qing has a bad temper that doesn't help her, we want to have a close relationship with her, but she doesn't want to see her either.

In the lord channel, Qi Fu asked Territory No. 1, "Brother Feng, are you there? Do you have a surplus of ordinary protective masks in your territory? I would like to exchange sixty-five green onion seeds for four."

According to the transaction price set by the lords, a green light seed costs 20 points per green light seed, an ordinary protective mask in the safe area costs 300 points per green light seed, and four protective masks equals 60 green light seeds. Qi Fu gave sixty-five pills because the road was difficult to travel after heavy rain and hail. Zhong Tao's exchange car would definitely not be able to get through in three to five days, and he was in urgent need of a protective mask.

Hushi Feng came online and said, "Yes, that's fine."

Kuang Qingwei immediately asked, "Brother Qi, I also want to exchange green light onion seeds. Do you think you are still missing something?"

Qi Fu smiled bitterly, "I kept all the green lantern onion seeds and planted them myself. Unexpectedly, this disaster happened. Part of it was used to replenish equipment, part of it was used to pay for Dr. Chang's medicine, and the rest had to be kept and exchanged with Third Brother." The hemostatic medicine was returned to Xia Qing, and now I don't even have the medicine I planted myself.”

“Impossible, he must have kept what he grew himself.” In the No. 6 territory, Zhu Li, who was eating Dimin fruit, whispered to her husband, “If you can't exchange it this year, we'll ask you next spring.”

Kang Qingwei nodded, touched a Dimin fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. A hailstorm smashed all the Dimin plants and froze them. This year, one less fruit will be eaten.

Zhao Ze asked, "Third brother, are you back?"
