Chapter 1305: Living in the days of natural disaster (33)
When they returned to their residence, Xu Yin whispered to Xu Xi: "Our bunker is strong, just like this central city, and floods cannot get in."
"real?"
"Of course. Have I ever lied to Xixi?"
When Xu Xi heard this, he burst into tears and laughed.
Ning Jin glanced at Xu Yin.
I thought you had lied to me, otherwise, where did Little Cow and Lao Bai come from?
But he was too sensible to say anything.
Xu Yin gave him a "boy, you are very smart" look and changed the subject: "Let's go find Professor Liu tomorrow and open up some more land."
"Why? Isn't it enough for one person to have one ridge?" Xu Dong was puzzled.
Ning Jin: "Yin Yin is worried. There is a lot of water everywhere now. Even cabbage and Wuta vegetables are no longer available. Vegetables will be even more nervous."
Hearing that he would not be able to eat vegetables, Xu Dong and Xu Xi immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go find Professor Liu now!"
Even though it was night, considering that Professor Liu had to work late every day before going to bed, the four children opened the planting area on the second floor with their work ID cards and found Professor Liu.
After hearing Ming's intention, Professor Liu was pleased and moved: "You are really good children! But you are still young. If you can persevere in one ridge per person, it will be great. Leave the expansion of planting to others!"
"Professor, I can." Xu Yin said, "Since I got better, my strength has become stronger and stronger! Just leave it to me!"
Ning Jin's three children rushed to say, "Leave the rest to us!"
Professor Liu smiled from ear to ear: "It's good that you have this intention, but..."
"Don't be hesitant, let's just agree happily! We will expand the land tomorrow! Try to get more vegetables for everyone to eat!"
After saying that, Xu Yin ran away with her three friends.
Professor Liu shook his head with a smile, thinking that if they came to work tomorrow, no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, the sun would still be rising in the morning! It would be great to be responsible for a ridge of land.
Furthermore, their greatest contribution is not actually growing vegetables. Their fertilizing methods and some tips in the vegetable growing process are very worth learning from.
However, when he arrived at the Baogan area the next morning, he found that four children were already working with small hoes - Xu Yin was responsible for loosening the soil, and the other three children were responsible for digging drainage ditches and building ridges.
Professor Liu hurriedly walked over and asked them if they were tired. If they were tired, sit down and take a rest, so as not to affect their growth and development.
Other vegetable farmers who came to clock in for work were puzzled when they saw it: "Why are those four children working on the field again? What is the new task assigned to them by Professor Liu?"
"No way. From what Professor Liu said, it seems that they applied for it themselves."
"Are they stupid? They can't take care of such a long ridge of land, so they are going to open new land?"
"It's not because I can't grow vegetables. How about opening up a field? Haha! Have you ever visited their vegetable field? How are they doing?"
As soon as these words came out, many people fell silent.
Because when they finished work, they went around to take a look at the vegetable patch with the four little carrot heads——
There are four ridges, one ridge is planted with potatoes and corn; one ridge is planted with taro and cabbage; one ridge is planted with beans on the top, and winter melon and celery are planted on the bottom; tomatoes are planted on the top of one ridge, and peppers and garlic seedlings are planted on the bottom.
How can this be a layman who doesn’t know how to grow vegetables? He is clearly an expert!
Not only do we take advantage of the different growth requirements of crops, interplanting those that like shade, those that like sun, those with deep roots, those with shallow roots, those with a long growth period, those with short growth periods, those that need scaffolding to grow creepingly... and even the racks for beans and tomatoes.
They are all more beautiful and standardized than them.
"Why don't you say anything? Are the vegetables they grow so skinny that they worry about being scolded, so they go to open fields again?"
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, you have to be really curious, finish the work at hand, go over and take a look and you'll find out."
Anyway, they went to see her several times, and her face hurt every time. The flesh on both cheeks was probably swollen.
Xiao Wu looked at them doubtfully: "It's so mysterious, how can I still think about work!"
After saying that, he threw down the farm tools in his hands and immediately ran to the vegetable field with four carrot heads to see what was going on.
Looking at it, after returning, there is one more person who is silent.
He even suspected that the four carrot heads found it too easy for one person to be responsible for a ridge of land, so they approached Professor Liu to apply for land expansion.
Simply evil!
…
Xu Yin opened ten more ridges of land in one breath and took her friends to work diligently in the vegetable fields every day.
Professor Liu used to be busy with the experimental field and rarely came to the Baogan area. Since the arrival of four children, he would come here every morning to take a walk, express condolences to the children, and look at the dazzling array of vegetables, which made him feel a little happier.
Because some of the vegetable farmers were old and some were young, they were the first batch of new citizens to move into the central city. They fought hard to get this job. They worked very diligently in the early days, but as time went by, the enthusiasm gradually faded away, and they started to work hard.
I think they are from a big vegetable growing family. Who can compare to them when it comes to growing vegetables?
As a result, going to work gradually resembled that of employees in state-owned enterprises - clocking in by stepping on the work bell, doing some leisurely work in the vegetable field during the period, and leaving on time when the off-duty time came, regardless of what work was being done at hand.
Now it seems that something is wrong. Professor Liu seems to be evaluating the difference between several ridges of land. He seems to think that the vegetables they grow are not as fertile as those of the four children. He will not fire them later, right?
Only then did they realize that this job was not guaranteed to be theirs. They would be beaten to death on the beach by the waves at any time. They could no longer work as foreigners!
Unbeknownst to Professor Liu, Baogantian, his subsidiary, was on the road to involution.
"Old Liu, have you found the secret to increasing production in batches?"
Professor Liu’s colleague Professor Hong knocked on the door excitedly and came in:
"I saw that your Baogan fields are growing very well. Have you reported it to the leader for approval? When will you have a meeting to tell us?"
Professor Liu was confused: "What's the secret? I don't have it. I've been working on several high-temperature resistant vegetable varieties recently, and I've been very busy..."
"No secret? Impossible! Have you ever seen the vegetables in your own field? Is it possible that your vegetable farmers are secretly using chemical fertilizers? Isn't it strictly forbidden to use chemical fertilizers? If nothing else, it will destroy the water circulation system!
Come, let’s go! Come and see with me!”
Professor Hong took Professor Liu to his Baogan area and carefully tested the vegetables and fruits in each ridge. It was found that there were no inorganic residues. The vegetables grew well simply because the farmers took good care of them and watered them carefully.
Professor Hong: "..."
Why didn't he hire such hard-working and willing vegetable farmers? They were all recruited from the same group at the beginning.
Vegetable farmers: Stop talking! Talking too much will make you cry!
Professor Liu praised the vegetable farmers a few words, and after they continued to work, he pulled Professor Hong towards the vegetable fields of the four children:
"I still have four treasures here! You will be even more surprised when you see the vegetables they grow!"
