Chapter 1303: Living in the days of natural disaster (31)
Although Central City has promulgated a new rule - those who have special contributions or talents in a certain field will be hired without age restrictions.
But everyone knows that it is the happiest thing to work in the planting area. Not only does it have a stable contribution value, but the most important thing is that it can be exposed to the sun every day.
Unlike other types of work, they either clean and perform maintenance on each floor, or work in various service areas such as the canteen, or they are on duty in the equipment room located on the N floor underground where there is no sunlight all day long... In short, it is difficult to see them.
Sunshine, let alone bathing in it every day.
In the underground city, apart from the crops, experts and senior leaders working in the sun room downstairs, the only ones who can bathe in the sunshine are them, the vegetable farmers.
I remember how much effort they put in to stand out among the large farmers who signed up and get this job. Now that I have a good and decent job, I want to find one for my family.
At this time, four milk babies suddenly appeared from nowhere and entered the planting area easily without going through all the checks. Can you feel balanced?
However, what they don't know is that the senior leaders value their four children not just because they can grow vegetables.
After the person in charge reported the matter, a patrol team went to the orphanage where the four children lived to check.
The entrance to the cellar was very hidden, with a pile of old table legs used as firewood, small benches, and a drainage ditch more than one meter deep at the entrance.
Walking into the cellar, I found an earthen stove. The earthen stove had no chimney, but it had a flue made of broken bricks wrapped in mud.
The four children, at such a young age, built three circles of exhaust ducts along the cellar without any instruction.
The smoke emitted when the earthen stove boils water and cooks, travels three times along the flue, and then is discharged into the cellar, making the cellar very warm. The small piece of land surrounded by the flue has been opened into rows of vegetable fields.
, there are still potatoes and radishes that have not been dug out in the vegetable patch, as well as celery and broccoli that have not been taken away. It seems that the suitcase cannot fit them.
There is a staircase going down at the end of the cellar, about four or five steps. There is also a small cellar inside, with a small dining table in the middle. There are floors on both sides of the dining table. The warm quilts should have been taken away by them, leaving behind the grass on the floor.
A mat and a thin old mattress with many holes in it.
There is a large cellar within a small cellar, and there is also an earth-cooked vegetable greenhouse. No wonder the four children not only survived the low temperature of -40 degrees Celsius, but also had fresh vegetables to eat besides kale and Wutai.
If you don’t train such a brilliant child, who else are you going to train?
Other vegetable farmers working in the Baogan area wanted to see when the four children would give up. This farm work was not like other industries. Those who had never done it before could only stare at the vegetable fields without knowing how to start.
"Fortunately, each person has his own land, so we have no obligation to help them."
They chatted while working, glancing in the direction of the four children from time to time, with a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.
The soil in the guaranteed field is not like the experimental field - it is nutrient soil transported from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Because of its large area, the nutrient soil in the guaranteed field is not enough for planting. It is frozen soil dug from outside. It is very hardened, let alone the children.
These sturdy farmers spent several days hoeing the land.
"Don't be too happy too early. Those four carrot heads have a good background at first glance. Maybe if we are asked to change the land, our early work will be in vain."
"Bah! How dare they!"
"The superiors really ask us to hand over the cultivated land to them for planting, but let us continue to cultivate the hardened frozen soil. There is nothing we can do, unless we be tough and don't want this job."
"..."
Having said that, no one is in the mood to take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
In that compartment, the children were in a daze facing a large expanse of severely frozen soil.
Xu Xi squatted down and touched the soil: "The soil is so hard, how can we grow vegetables here?"
Xu Dong directly swung the small hoe, but when he put the hoe down, the frozen soil did not move at all.
Ning Jin tried it and got the same result.
"It's over!" The three children looked at me, and I looked at you, "We can't do the work here, will we be kicked out?"
"what is it now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clanging sound. The three children raised their heads and were dumbfounded:
"Yinyin, can you hoe such hard soil?"
"Yinyin, you are so awesome!"
“Wow—Yinyin, you are so strong!”
"..."
Xu Yin enjoyed the milk-foaming rainbow farts of her friends and said: "Don't just sit there and measure it. The width should be according to the vegetable field over there, and dig a drainage ditch."
The excavated soil is naturally compacted into field ridges.
Xu Yin's [Permanent Divine Power] was able to go all the way, hoeing and loosening a piece of hardened frozen soil and sprinkling water.
She is responsible for clearing the land, and her three friends are responsible for digging drainage ditches and pressing down the fields.
The four people divided the work and cooperated, and in just half a day they planted four rows of vegetable fields with the same width.
"Hey! Is this the fruit of your morning's work? You've opened the vegetable patch so quickly? You are such a capable little guy!"
The staff who came to distribute today's lunch coupons to the vegetable farmers were surprised when they saw the land opened by four children:
"How did you do it? It's so awesome!"
"Hehe! Everyone said that Yin Yin is very strong. She hoeed the ground and we dug ditches."
"Amazing!" The staff gave them a thumbs up, handed out lunch coupons, and trotted back to report the good news to their leaders.
Talent has been found!
Not only can he build a greenhouse and grow vegetables, but he is also so strong that he is a natural farmer!
The vegetable farmers working on the other side were simply dumbfounded:
"Those four carrot heads have grown out of the vegetable patch?"
"Did you see anyone come in and help them?"
"Didn't see it."
"So they really drove it themselves?"
"impossible?"
It took them two or three days to grow a ridge of frozen soil into a vegetable patch. These four little radish heads were grown in half a day?
Even if I kill them, I won’t believe it!
So, when the children finished work and went to the canteen to eat, they all gathered around the newly opened vegetable patch of Xu Yin and the other four.
"It looks pretty loose."
"Who knows if it's just surface work, maybe it's still hard underneath."
The speaker did not give up and brought a bamboo stick used to build a shelf to test the depth of the soil.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo stick was easily inserted to the bottom and penetrated more than half a meter into the soil.
"..."
This group of former big vegetable growers looked at me and I looked at you. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
"Could they have special hoeing skills?"
"Did you use any tools?"
"It must be! Otherwise I would have been tired and crying!"
"Even if knowing how to hoe is useless, how you plant is the key!"
"That's right! Growing vegetables is also a technical job. You can't grow good vegetables without some experience."
They all comforted each other, waiting to see the four little guys crying and retreating.
But they are destined to be disappointed - what will greet them will only be a slap in the face that is more painful and louder than this one.
