In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Harvesting Sweet Potatoes

When Xia Qing first entered the territory in the spring, she exchanged the centipedes and snakes she caught from the territory and the small wild boar he later caught in the valley for the high slopes with large green-light chun trees, and exchanged 16 green-light sweet potatoes with Tan Junjie. Seedling.

Before the second rainstorm, she cut off the sweet potato vine and cut 200 sweet potato plants. After two rainstorms, she survived until the sweet potatoes grew and the rainwater elements were lower than 15‰, a total of 150 plants, 66 with green lights and 84 with yellow lights.

Looking at the data alone, the stability of the sweet potato seedlings Tan Junjie exchanged for her is not low, but in fact it is not.

If it were not for Xia Qing's cuttings being planted in hillside planting terraces with a high content of the element, and irrigated with pollution-free spring water, the number of green light sweet potatoes harvested would probably not even reach a quarter of the current number.

The growing period of sweet potato is the longest among all the crops grown in Xia Qing. During the growth process, it needs to experience two rains, and the water element increase rate is between 3‰-4‰.

In other words, yellow-dark sweet potatoes with a plutonium content of more than 10‰ can only be eaten and cannot be used as seeds; yellow-dark sweet potatoes with a plutonium content between 5‰-10‰ are only stable for one generation; those with a plutonium content of less than 5 ‰ Green light sweet potatoes have two generations of stability.

Hence, only the green light sweet potato has the value of promoting cultivation, and the promotion value is very high.

Because the leaves and fruits of sweet potatoes are both edible, you can propagate them through cuttings about two months after planting. Even without the blessing of pollution-free spring water and high-quality elemental soil, the yield is second only to the crazy pumpkin and exceeds Other crops grown on the territory.

The reason why the Territory Management Department does not promote it is because the cultivation conditions for breeding green light sweet potato seedlings are relatively harsh and cannot be propagated in large quantities at low cost.

Xia Qing harvested more than 350 green light sweet potatoes of various sizes today, but she didn't want people to know that she had high-quality planting areas in her territory, so she couldn't sell them all.

According to the quantity agreed to be exchanged with the allies during the lords' meeting, Xia Qing began to select sweet potatoes suitable for seed saving in the food storage bin of Territory No. 1.

Seed saving requires complete and large sweet potatoes, two pieces in each territory of the green light, and four pieces of yellow light sweet potatoes with an elemental content of about 7‰ in each territory. Counting the territory No. 15, the total is 30 pieces.

Xia Qing's green light sweet potato seedlings were traded with Tan Junjie, so Territory No. 15 should not need to exchange seed potatoes with her, but Xia Qing was still fully prepared, just in case.

In addition, Xia Qing also plans to use one hundred pieces of yellow light sweet potatoes as the entire output of this batch of sweet potatoes. Because she mentioned in the lord channel that she only has more than 20 sweet potato plants, more than 130 pieces, which is exactly the output of more than 20 sweet potato plants, so no one will doubt that her territory has a storage room that can store food for a long time.

“Boss, try this sweet potato root, it's green.” Xia Qing broke off pieces of sweet potatoes from the roots and put them into a bamboo basket lined with hay, and handed the sweet potato roots to Boss Sheep.

The sheep boss was gnawing on the sweet potato root with great enthusiasm when Xia Qing's cell phone rang. Tan Junjie, the leader of the platoon, really couldn't get away, so he asked Huzi to send Xia Qing replies from each territory.

The south gate was crowded today, and the two of them made an appointment to meet at the northern isolation zone of Territory No. 3.

"The note that sister gave to our captain yesterday was only sent this morning. I was afraid of delaying the matter, so I asked each lord to reply in half an hour." Huzi handed the note to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing thanked him, took the five notes, and handed over the fifteen kilograms of yellow sweet potatoes. Yellow light sweet potatoes sell for 40 points per pound in the safe zone, and this bag is worth 600 points. Huzi knew how hard it was to farm and how difficult it was for Xia Qing to harvest these sweet potatoes, so of course he refused to harvest them.

Before she could speak, Huzi took a step back and said, "No, no, sister, keep it for yourself. We can get a few pieces each in a few days."

"It's not for free, it's for exchange of supplies." If it were for free, Xia Qing wouldn't be able to take so much. "Solar power generation decreases in winter, so we need to find other ways to generate electricity. I remember you said that human-powered bicycles can not only be used to collect water. , it can also be used to generate electricity, so I want to exchange it for a bicycle that can generate electricity when pedaling. Do you think 15 pounds of yellow light sweet potatoes are enough?”

In the spring, Xia Qing exchanged for a human-powered waterwheel, using four pounds of Chinese toon sprouts and two pounds of perilla. At that time, they were discounted at the price of 50 points per pound of green light vegetables, which was 300 points. Considering that a bicycle that can generate electricity needs a small motor, Xia Qing carried a few more kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Huzi still didn't answer, reminding Xia Qing that human power generation is not cost-effective. "It is not efficient for people to generate electricity by riding a bicycle, and the electricity generated cannot make up for the energy consumption of the human body while riding a bicycle. In fact, I can consider replacing it with a fuel generator. If the points are If it's not enough, you can take the battery to Territory 6 for charging, which is more cost-effective than buying a bicycle to generate electricity.”

There are many solar panels in Kuang Qingwei's territory, and the investigation team certainly knows about the paid charging business.

Xia Qing explained, "It's not for me, it's for my evolved sheep."

The sheep is very powerful and likes to ride a bicycle to collect water. In winter, it is not needed to irrigate the ground, so Xia Qing wants to give it a bicycle that can generate electricity and put it in the living room on the first floor for it to play with.

If the solar panels plus the electricity generated by Yang Laoda cannot meet the electricity consumption in the territory, Xia Qing will turn on the diesel generator. After all, the generator burns oil every time it turns, and the sheep only needs to eat grass to generate electricity.

yes! The sheep boss can draw water by riding a bicycle, and he can generate electricity by riding a bicycle! Why didn't he think of that!

Huzi showed two small tiger teeth and took the sweet potato with a smile, "Sister, this sheep of yours is really worth raising. The evolved sheep are very strong. I will try to find a way to buy a bicycle with a strong frame. It may take a few days. time."

Yang Lao Dali is so strong that he has already trampled three water bikes in half a year.

Xia Qing thanked him and asked, "The No. 2 territory was noisy until very late yesterday?"

"Don't mention it!" The taciturn Huzi was very angry when he mentioned this, and couldn't help but start complaining, "They are also refugees. Those recruited from Territory 1 can farm honestly, and those recruited from Territory 8 can also work in factories. No matter what happens in Territory No. 2, it won't work!”

"Team Sufeng took the people in and left them to Tang Huai and ignored them. The refugees are not insects..." Huzi paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Actually, Tang Huai tried his best, but these people are not Benchmen at all." I came here just to make a living by farming. By the way, two people from the Fire Team came with Sufeng's plane and have already entered the territory of No. 9. Sister, please don't go to the southern passage of the territory for the next two days, so as not to follow them. They hit."

After saying that, Huzi reminded Xia Qing, "The Fire Team is Hui Yi's number one team, and there are people on top."

Although Yang Jin tripped up Fire Phoenix with the news about spinach seeds, the people from Team Agni still sent people over. It seems that Fire Phoenix attaches great importance to the business of cultivating Cordyceps fungus.
