There are large areas of lush potato growing on the soil slope at the foot of the forest farm. When a gust of wind and heat wave blows, the potato seedlings on the soil slope rise and fall like waves of wheat.
There is abundant rainfall here, and the climate is warm in summer. There are no natural enemies like groundhogs, so sweet potatoes grow very vigorously. The tender stems and leaves are the favorite food of the thunder rhinoceros. However, if you want to keep the thunder rhinoceros strong, just
These thunder rhinos should be fed sweet potatoes that contain a lot of starch.
The soldiers of the second team waved their sickles against the scorching sun, cut down large tracts of potato seedlings, and then used pickaxes to dig out the potatoes buried deep in the soil.
Each of these sweet potatoes, which are as thick as an arm, is one meter long. The light yellow slurry contains a weak toxin. If an ordinary person eats the sweet potatoes, within an hour of eating the sweet potatoes, the lips will swell like a sausage.
, the tongue will also stick out like a dog, half of the face is swollen and cannot speak normally, and few people in the Green Empire eat sweet potato.
Thunder rhinoceros and some large livestock do not care about this weak toxin. However, these sweet potatoes have strong vitality and extremely high yield. This kind of plant can be found everywhere even in the wilderness. The sixth squadron of the fourth brigade is responsible for the team this time.
The Thunder Rhino inside prepared half a month's rations, and all five teams in the squadron were dispatched. It took three days to dig out the potatoes on the slope.
Surdak was shirtless and rushed to the front with a sickle. He knew what kind of posture could save the most energy and how to hook the roots of sweet potato. He Boqiang followed behind him and used the prepared vines.
The potato seedlings are bundled into a large bundle and placed neatly on the hillside. Each bundle of potato seedlings is kept at the same distance, which makes it pleasing to the eye.
The black boy Jeroenan and the red-haired Klaus each carried pickaxes and worked hard to dig out potatoes one by one from the fertile and soft soil.
It was He Boqiang who proposed this method of forming a group of four people to work together to dig potatoes. Facts have proved that the work efficiency of everyone working together is obviously much higher than working alone, and each performing their own duties makes digging potatoes easier.
It has to be more interesting.
Captain Sam loaded the neatly arranged sweet potatoes onto the flatbed truck, walked up to He Boqiang, punched him hard on the shoulder, bared his yellow teeth and praised He Boqiang: "You did a good job! Look at you.
With such a strong body, I can’t believe that he still knows how to work as a farmer.”
Suldak, who was the leader, stopped, straightened up, picked up the kettle and drank a big gulp of it before throwing the kettle to He Boqiang.
He Boqiang was not polite and poured the remaining water in the kettle into his stomach.
"Are you from the north?" Captain Sam asked, sitting on a bundle of potato seedlings, looking up at He Boqiang with squinted eyes.
He Boqiang saw the endless snow-capped mountains from the fused memory, hesitated for a moment and then nodded slowly.
"When this war is over and we all collect some travel expenses for you, you can go home." Captain Sam took out a pipe from his arms, held it in his mouth and sucked it dryly twice, and said in a hoarse voice.
He Boqiang said.
He Boqiang squinted his eyes and recalled the other world, his smile full of bitterness.
"What, don't you want to go home?" Captain Sam asked He Boqiang.
Although He Boqiang can currently understand Imperial Language based on the knowledge in his memory fragments, he cannot pronounce it accurately. Therefore, there are still certain obstacles in communicating with others. He can only listen, not speak.
Suldak has been taking care of He Boqiang during this time, so the two of them are close, but Suldak rarely talks about this to He Boqiang. This time Captain Sam asked He Boqiang, and Suldak took the opportunity to ask.
: "Have you forgotten where your home is?"
Suldak didn't expect that He Boqiang would actually nod. He was speechless and didn't know how to comfort him. He could only curse blankly: "Damn plane war!"
"Then what are your plans in the future?" Captain Sam asked He Boqiang. Seeing that He Boqiang was silent and did not speak, he just thought he was a mute with normal hearing. He turned to Suldak and said: "Dak, you are not
Do you know any merchants in Tarapa? Or ask them if they are short of manpower..."
Suldak agreed: "I will take the time to ask you tomorrow morning."
As one of the few warriors in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment with skinning skills, Surdak was obviously more popular with the businessmen who followed the infantry regiment into Handanar County to collect war wealth. He knew several businessmen.
The manager of the team, Sam asked Surdak to find those businessmen for help. It was definitely not without purpose.
The black boy Jie Longnan interjected from behind: "Captain, why don't you keep the big guy?"
Since He Boqiang woke up, his injuries have gradually improved. Although he is still unable to speak, it does not prevent him from doing things.
Many experiences from the memory fragments of the body owner, after integrating those experiences in other worlds, many novel ideas have emerged. Some may not be realized due to various restrictions, but some have very good results when used. Because of this
, He Boqiang’s injury has not healed yet, but it has been accepted by everyone in the second team.
Captain Sam chewed his pipe and cursed vaguely: "Nonsense, we are doing military service. The Green Empire's recruitment system is here. If it is not compulsory recruitment, who would be willing to come to fight and lick blood with such a knife?"
day?"
Jie Longnan was so stunned that he couldn't say anything. He could only pull a piece of toasted wheat cake from his arms, stuff it into his mouth, chew it casually, and then swallow it.
He Boqiang clearly saw a bulge the size of a table tennis ball in Jie Longnan's throat. He watched him swallow the dry wheat cake with great difficulty. He didn't even need to take a sip of water, but his eyes were a little straight.
…
These freshly cut potato shoots must also be transported back to the camp and thrown into the trough outside the animal pen.
Those small hill-like Thunder Rhinoceros came from all over, opening their big mouths and swallowing a bunch of potato stalks in one bite. These Thunder Rhinoceros with an amazing appetite are considered to be the most powerful in the military camp, but feeding these big guys is extremely difficult.
The arduous work usually requires dedicated breeders. Only to prepare temporary Thunder Rhinoceros rations will a group of warriors go to the wild to collect them.
After the Fourth Brigade got the good job of cleaning up the battlefield, it subsequently carried out several reconnaissance missions. This time, together with the preparation of fodder for the Thunder Rhinoceros, it was all done by Count Mond Goss to bring balance to the minds of the other captains.
some.
These sweet potatoes were transported back to the camp. The work of the second team was not over yet. Then someone had to pound the sweet potatoes and send the sweet potato soup to the logistics cooking class, where the large steamer was used to cook the sweet potatoes.
Potato pulp is steamed into potato pancakes, which is Thunder Rhinoceros’ favorite food.
Making steamed potato cakes is one of the more interesting things for He Boqiang, because during the process of making steamed cakes, you can observe those thunder rhinoceros up close.
He Boqiang really wanted to ride on its back and feel these big guys weighing dozens of tons.
However, the keepers in the camp are very careful and do not want people to come into contact with these giant beasts easily.
Although he has infinite curiosity about this world, He Boqiang always feels that he does not belong here.
During the days when he was lying in the tent recuperating from his injuries, He Boqiang had been secretly hypnotizing himself in order to endure the pain. He kept telling himself silently: "Don't be afraid, this is just a dream. When you wake up from the dream,
, all the suffering here will disappear'
This is a sentence he must recite silently to himself before falling asleep every night.
When a new day begins, he will look for the meaning of life in this world in the morning sunshine.
