In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Planting Bamboo

Back home, Xia Qing happily counted the amount of her points card.

After one year of farming, she updated her equipment from head to toe. She built an iron mesh wall in her territory, got many more electrical appliances at home, and bought a lot more clothes and bedding. She also saved 288,800 points and hundreds of gold stones.

This is something she never dared to think about before taking over the territory last year.

Farming is a very hard work that depends on the weather. Xia Qing was able to accumulate these points and family fortune because she had pollution-free spring water and Gao Yi element spinach in her territory, because she was an evolved person and could go out of her territory to find supplies in the evolutionary forest, and because she became a human and a wolf. A second-rate dealer among the group.

If she were just an ordinary person, there would be no pollution-free spring water in the territory, and there would be no high-yi element spinach...

Xia Qing turned her head and looked through the window at the neat greenhouses in the territory, the sheep lying under the big chun tree on the high **** chewing cud, and the red squirrels with big bellies jumping between the branches. He listened to Mother Zhao's loud shouts in the territory next door. .

If she was just an ordinary person and received only an ordinary territory, she would bravely step out of the safe zone like ordinary lords and stay in the territory and work hard to farm and dig wild vegetables every day. After a busy year, even if you can't save many points, you won't work hungry every day like before.

Thanks to the red squirrel, she discovered the pollution-free spring water; thanks to the sheep boss, she found a partner and established a connection with the wolves.

After hiding the score card, Xia Qing put on light clothes, sprayed insect repellent on her body, put on a sun hat and gloves, and went out to work.

After more than a year of careful management, the poisonous animals and plants that could threaten her have been basically eradicated in Territory No. 3, so Xia Qing no longer needs to wear protective clothing and masks when working in the yard and greenhouse.

Of course, you still need to wear protective clothing and masks when going to uncultivated areas or deserted villages, or when walking before or after rain or in extreme weather.

All the tasks arranged for today have been completed. There is still one hour before dark. Xia Qing uses this time to process the hardness evolution bamboo poles brought back today, and then plant the bamboo roots brought back. When it gets dark, I move the big chickens in the greenhouse back to the chicken coop in the yard, then call it a day and go home to cook and eat.

Generally speaking, bamboo that has grown for more than three years should be used to make greenhouse supports and furniture. Because Hsinchu that is less than three years old has a high moisture content, it is easy to crack or bend.

But the bamboo pole that Xia Qing carried back had evolved in hardness. It was much harder than ordinary bamboo that was more than three years old and had good toughness, so Xia Qing had high hopes for it.

This bamboo grows very straight, so there is no need to straighten it. It only needs to be dried before use.

There are four methods of drying: natural drying in the shade, light roasting followed by exposure to the sun, boiling water followed by exposure and fire roasting. Although natural shade drying can preserve the natural color and texture of bamboo to the maximum extent, it takes too long, and it is difficult to control the proportion and heat of the latter two, so Xia Qing chose the method of lightly roasting and then exposing to the sun.

She first cut off a two-meter-long section with a machete, and then split the remaining bamboo pole into bamboo slices, which can be used to strengthen the greenhouse after processing.

After cutting the bamboo pieces, Xia Qing put on protective clothing, said hello to the onlookers, the sheep boss, and walked out of the south gate carrying a two-meter-long piece of bamboo. Before he had gone five meters away, he heard the sound coming from the No. 2 territory. There was a rustling sound, and then Tang Huai's shout.

“Xia Qing, are you going to deliver bamboo to Uncle Huo?”

Xia Qing raised her lips slightly, stopped and nodded.

Tang Huai, holding a shovel, emerged from the grass wall and stared at the bamboo in Xia Qing's hand that was almost twenty centimeters in diameter. "The color of this bamboo is really beautiful. Is it an evolved purple bamboo?"

Xia Qing shook his head, "I don't know either."

After the evolution of Blue Star organisms, it became more difficult to identify plant species. To Xia Qing, the type of bamboo doesn't matter, as long as it can be used.

Tang Huai discussed with Xia Qing, "Can you give me a section in exchange? I want to use this bamboo to make a tea tray for my dad." Xia Qing shook his head, "This bamboo has a high content of phosphorus elements, so it is not suitable for making a tea tray, and I have already Split the remaining bamboo into pieces."

Tang Huai asked, "Chop it into bamboo slices? What do you plan to use it for?"

“Make greenhouse supports.” Xia Qing explained, “This kind of bamboo pole has high hardness, good toughness, and is lighter than other woods, so it is very suitable for making supports.”

Although what Xia Qing said was right, Tang Huai still felt that it was a waste of materials. However, this was a material obtained by Xia Qing. Of course, she had the final say on how to use it. Tang Huai stretched out his hand, "Give it to me, I'll pass it to you."

Territory No. 11-18 is under the jurisdiction of another investigation team. If it does not belong to Xia Qing, he cannot let Tan Junjie's team help deliver supplies.

Territory No. 11 and Territory No. 3 are separated by Territory No. 2, but to get from the south gate of Xia Qing's territory to the north gate of Territory No. 11, one needs to go from this east-west passage to the south east-west passage. It is much more convenient to let Tang Huai teleport. He only needs to walk from the north to the south of Territory No. 2.

Intuitively speaking, the route that Xia Qing took to send the bamboo and wood had three sides of a rectangle, and to send it from Tang Huai, he only needed to take one side of the rectangle.

"Thank you." Xia Qing handed the bamboo pole to Tang Huai very simply and returned to his territory.

Tang Huai returned to the territory with the shovel and the bamboo on his shoulders, muttering in a low voice, "Why is it so heavy?! This woman is so straightforward this time. Why do I feel like she planned to let me send it to her from the beginning..."

Xia Qing's lips raised higher in Territory No. 3. Yes, that's what she planned, because she knew that Tang Huai would definitely run out and offer to help, so she didn't ask anyone from the Beard Feng team to come over and guard the territory.

After processing the bamboo poles, you can plant bamboo roots.

The idea of growing bamboo was proposed by Yuan Yan. Yuan Yan came up with this idea after learning that the evolved bamboo discovered by Xia Qing belonged to the hardness evolved variety.

Due to the lack of rain and the evolution of pests and diseases, it is necessary to build greenhouses for farming in the territory. The cost of steel-frame greenhouses is too high, and greenhouses built with ordinary bamboo and wood can only last two years even if properly maintained. Because the environmental conditions during natural disaster years are even worse, the external stress of the greenhouse increases, which reduces the service life of the bamboo-frame greenhouses. .

Therefore, in order to make the wooden greenhouse last longer, the lords thought of many ways, such as using steel frames for key load-bearing points during construction and other hardwoods for internal supports. However, the arched structure of the greenhouse can still only be made of bamboo.

Now, they have better building materials, namely the hardness-evolved bamboo found in No. 52 Mountain, so Yuan Yan wants to plant a few in her territory.

Planting evolutionary plants in the territory is very dangerous, but after analysis, Yuan Yan believes that this risk is controllable.

First of all, this kind of bamboo is attacked with roots and is a low-risk aggressive species. Yuan Yan and Qi Fu are both power evolvers and can deal with this risk.

Secondly, Yuan Yan is a magnetic evolver. If this kind of bamboo evolves again in the rain, she can sense it before the mutation is completed and cut them down with her husband to prevent the mutation from happening.

So, Yuan Yan asked Xia Qing to bring back some bamboo roots when he went to pick up the bamboo poles. The vitality of evolutionary plants is very tenacious. The bamboo roots dug out yesterday can still survive if planted today.

Xia Qing's idea was the same as Yuan Yan's, so when she went to get bamboo poles today, she not only brought back a few bamboo roots to be planted in Territory No. 3 and No. 5, but also planted the remaining bamboo roots in No. 50 Mountain Moist open space.

If everything goes well, after the second rain this year, she will be able to harvest at least a dozen hardness-evolved bamboos to strengthen the greenhouse in her territory.
