Chapter 354 The Wisdom of the Female Supporting Wild Star Farming (14)
The three-month cold season finally came to an end as the group ate, drank, and played mahjong.
Just as abrupt as the arrival, the retreat was also quite rapid - overnight, the ice thawed and spring returned to the earth.
Xu Yin immediately went to look at the vegetable fields and found that the land where grains and vegetables had been planted was still arable land that could be planted immediately even if it was frozen for a cold season and the temperature rose.
The land that has never been reclaimed is only soft after rain, otherwise it is as hard as cement. It seems that to change this peculiar property of the soil, we still have to cultivate it.
So, when the first rain was over, Xu Yin picked up the hoe and called to her younger brother Kahn: "Let's go! Go open wasteland and plant vegetables!"
She wants to open up more wasteland and plant more crops.
Furthermore, how can one indulge in the mahjong table when the sun shines at eight or nine o'clock in the morning?
When Simon and others heard that they could grow natural food, they thought of sweet potatoes and the delicious taste of potatoes. As soon as the cards were collected, they stopped playing.
Others had been waiting for Xu Yin early.
During this cold season, they relied entirely on Xu Yin's natural ingredients to keep them entertained, and they gathered together to chat over the fire.
In previous years, group fights were so boring that they hardly happened this year. They just waited eagerly for Xu Yin to call.
As soon as I heard that she was going to open up wasteland, I rushed to sign up.
Seeing that there were so many people signing up, Xu Yin simply divided the areas for them:
A group of five people reclaims wasteland from near to far. For every acre completed, the group of five people will be rewarded with five kilograms of sweet potatoes or three kilograms of vegetables.
The reason for the group of five people was because she didn't have many hoes, rakes and other agricultural tools stored in the system warehouse, and there were only a few pairs of cross-turn plows in total.
Everyone had heard from Kahn that Xu Yin's space button had escaped detection.
But after hearing it, I was still shocked to see her take out so many things at once.
The space button that can evade detection has such a large capacity. Combined with the natural food seeds she possesses, I can't help but wonder if it comes from a big family in the Emperor Star, right?
Therefore, he became more and more wary of Xu Yin.
However, I felt happy again when I heard her say that I could exchange for natural food by clearing wasteland.
It’s so easy to get natural ingredients? Just one word!
There is strength in numbers - the working people’s experience summary is unmistakable!
No matter how powerful Xu Yin was, she could only open up a limited area of wasteland by herself. With more people, everyone would be more energetic, and the wasteland within sight would turn into acres of fertile farmland at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xu Yin took Kahn in charge of planting.
There is no way, among these people, only Kahn has planted with her for two seasons, and can handle simple crops independently.
Cardiff and Simon are still getting used to it.
Xu Yin asked them to follow Kahn, and they would do whatever Kahn did. She had to speed up the sowing and had no time to teach.
With so much wasteland being opened up, if we don't plant something as soon as possible, it will trigger a "smokey rain", and the soil will soon become compacted again.
In this way, I would leave early and come back late, and I would be busy for several days.
If someone hadn't suddenly thought: "Is it time to release supplies?"
Everyone almost forgot about this.
As a group of five people, it was easy to farm two acres of land every day. The natural ingredients they received were eaten with insect meat, which made them full and satisfied, because Xu Yin taught them how to process insect meat to make it more delicious.
The natural spices that make insect meat delicious, such as ginger, fennel, perilla, basil, coriander... can also be planted in the ground by their hands.
Thinking that soon, there will be a steady stream of delicious food waiting for them, who still remembers the nutrient solution!
At this moment, I suddenly remembered: "..."
I don’t even think the nutrient solution smells good anymore.
But if you take it for free, it’s their share.
It’s just that no one is snatching it. If you have that physical strength, wouldn’t it be better to save it to open up wasteland and replace it with natural ingredients?
As a result, the looting contest that takes place every ten days, and the material delivery day that turns into a life-and-death fight with fists and kicks in serious cases, seems so peaceful and harmonious for the first time in history.
"Hey, man, you didn't get the supply package? I have an extra one for you!"
"Brother, we are in the same group. Thanks to you for giving me guidance, otherwise I would not know how to open up wasteland. I will give you this supply package."
"Andrew, have you changed your character? You can run so fast and only take one?"
"I'm not in a hurry to come back and open up wasteland. Let me tell you, Lao Pi, I opened an acre of land by myself today! I can exchange for five kilograms of sweet potatoes. It tastes so good when roasted! It's more delicious than insect meat. That's it.
Well…cough, that’s a lot of farts.”
"Hahahaha! I like the yellow pimples called beans, and the stewed insect meat is so fragrant and delicious!"
"That's called potatoes. But I prefer to eat roasted animal meat wrapped in cabbage. The fat of the insect meat seeps into the crisp, tender and refreshing cabbage. It's so delicious... I never get tired of it!"
After everyone received the supply package, they returned to the wasteland talking and laughing and continued to cultivate.
Kahn came back with two supply packages with an unhappy look on his face: "Brother Hero, don't you think it's weird? Everyone was very friendly this time. No one grabbed it. Everyone only received their own share, but the supply package turned out to be...
One is missing, so strange!”
Xu Yin: "..."
I feel a little guilty for no reason.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not short of supplies. It doesn't matter if I have them or not."
"How can that be done! We are here to guard the Exile Star for them, and we have made a contribution. How come we even missed the delivery of the promised supply package? I suspect that the statistics people in the Supervision Office secretly kept it secret. Hum.
!It would be great if he could complain, I will definitely complain until he loses his job."
Xu Yinxin said: Don't! That way my sister will be exposed.
However, after Ka Xiu heard his brother finish shouting, he looked at Simon.
Look! They said that Xu Yingxiong was definitely not an ordinary exile.
First, he has a large number of natural food seeds that only the upper levels of the Emperor Star can possess.
Secondly, there is a discrepancy in the number of material packages, which indicates a possibility: he is not in the identification system of the supervision office.
Not being in the identification system means that he is not an exile at all. Why would he come to the Exile Star if he was not an exile?
The two looked deeply into each other's eyes again, but said nothing.
At present, it seems that it is only good for them, so why not turn a blind eye and pretend to be ignorant?
Throughout the spring, Xu Yin led everyone to open up wasteland and cultivate land in full swing.
There isn't much rain, so she activates [Floating Rain] every few days. It rustles one night and then clears up the next day. The crops don't grow too fast.
Before the newly opened wasteland had time to be cultivated, the first batch of cabbage, radish, amaranth and other crops planted were already mature.
"Remember to come to my place after work today. I will give you some fresh ingredients."
Hearing what Xu Yin said, everyone became more motivated, and seemed to have endless strength in their bodies. They rushed for natural ingredients!
This rush lasted until the evening, and as soon as the work was over, everyone rushed to the door of Xu Yin's house.
"Don't argue, don't fight! Everyone has a share! You can get it if you line up."
Everyone immediately and obediently formed two long queues.
