After asking Laura to get a complete set of things related to Warcraft, Winter Village was very peaceful in the next few days.
David's most arduous task every day is to help Mark harvest various crops.
Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, leeks, green onions, and cucumbers have all been successfully harvested. In addition to the massive amounts of potatoes that are being harvested by eight contract farmers, Winter Village now not only has no shortage of food reserves, but also has many varieties to enrich the menu.
"That's great!"
Looking at the various foods piled up next to him, David couldn't close his mouth and was always smiling. Even if the growth of several crops did not meet expectations, David was not disappointed.
Mark also said a very important discovery: "The land near the village is now much more fertile than it was at the beginning, and the land a little further away is also better than when I first came here."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure that I've been observing the land conditions... To be honest, have you secretly used some strange magic?" Mark observes the conditions of the farmland every day, and no one knows the land conditions in Winter Village better than him.
, he can be very sure that the land in Cold Winter Village has become much more fertile than when he first came here: "The most vivid example, you didn't find that the potatoes in these fields are longer than the potatoes in the distant fields.
Is it bigger and more?"
"There have been a lot of things going on recently, and I haven't paid much attention to the situation of the crops." When he was free, he often looked around. A lot of things happened recently, which happened to coincide with the harvest period, so he didn't notice these situations: "But
, this should be a good thing.”
However, the land where potatoes were first planted in Cold Winter Village has been planted with potatoes for three consecutive rounds. Instead of declining, the yield is increasing. The land itself has even become more fertile. This situation is not scientific in any way.
"That's it, then it's up to you."
Mark then gave David some popular knowledge. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to cultivate crops like potatoes continuously. Generally, after harvesting once, the land where potatoes were planted will be planted with other things. Because continuous planting will lead to a decrease in yield.
The reason is that the nutrients in the land that are useful for potatoes have been consumed in large quantities.
With such a trustworthy character and a certain fighting ability, David certainly had no reason to refuse, not to mention that Winter Village was indeed short of chefs.
Jonah looked around and sighed at the environment of Winter Village: to the west is a vast river, flowing from north to south and then turning westward at the west of Winter Village; to the north is a dense forest.
Looking further away, you can see the peaks standing unknown how far away. Standing in the Winter Village, you can see that the peaks are covered with snow.
"Of course, more fertile land will not only allow crops to grow better and produce more food, but it will also not impose many restrictions on planting."
He and Mark continued to work in the fields, and Laura suddenly came over to find David.
David smiled and dealt with it. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart: Mark Watney is the fundamental reason why the land has become more fertile. If there is no surprise, as his relationship with Mark gets better and better, Winter Village
The land may become more fertile.
"After harvesting these crops, what is suitable to plant next?" Mark did not worry too much about why the land was fertile. He wanted to continue testing what could be grown on this land.
"Chef?" David didn't respond at all, and Mark almost jumped up: "You must not miss this kind of talent. I think the newly built canteen needs a chef."
"Speaking of which, what kind of reward should I give to Jonah?"
He turned to look at Laura, who was winking at him.
"Want to check out the cafeteria?" Jonah was brought here just to make Jonah the chef in the cafeteria.
In the new version of the Tomb Raider trilogy, Jonah is the only character besides Laura to appear in all three works. He is Laura's most trusted partner. Jonah has lived up to Laura's trust and has always been firm.
Supporting Laura in completing those adventures.
"What's that friend's name?"
"Grow potatoes!"
Mark was talking about the new building located not far from the farmland at his feet. On the surface, it looked somewhat similar to the previous temporary wooden house. In fact, both the structure and the interior decoration were much more refined than the hastily built wooden house.
"No, autumn is not far away now. I am afraid that in the remaining time, we can only plant crops with a relatively short growth period such as potatoes."
"Potatoes have been tested..."
As there are more and more people in the village, Mark cannot always be allowed to work part-time as a chef. After all, Mark also has his own work to do. Just now he heard that Mark has arranged the planting plan to the year after next: Mark is ready to try some
For crops with a relatively long growth period, plant some fruits by the way.
"Now we have arrived in another world." Although this place looks no different from the earth, since Laura told him that he has arrived in another world, then he has arrived in another world: "It looks beautiful here."
"Is something wrong?"
Finally, while there was still some time before autumn, Mark decided to plant some radishes and green onions to enrich the menu in Winter Village.
"David! This is Jonah." Laura was pointing to various buildings in the village to introduce Jonah. When she saw David coming out, she immediately introduced the two of them: "This is David, Lin."
The head of Winter Village.”
"Yes, it's beautiful here." If it weren't for the beauty here, the development team wouldn't have chosen to build a village here. At that time, no one thought that this beautiful scenery would be so harsh.
living environment.
He continued to immerse himself in his work. After the work was completed, David carefully cleaned up his personal hygiene and changed his clothes. After coming out, he saw Laura taking a strong man to visit the village.
Fortunately, after David awakened Goldfinger and made some efforts, Winter Village gained the qualification to survive in this place for a long time.
"The crops I tested did not have a long growth period."
For the specific situation, Laura should have introduced this Jonah. After getting to know each other, Jonah lamented that since he met Laura, his world view has been reshaped, and all kinds of weird things have happened.
Saw it.
This canteen, which has a wide hall that can accommodate everyone in Winter Village to eat at the same time and even has many empty seats, was built some time ago and has been undergoing various improvement works recently, but it is scattered and intermittent. Every time
You think it's done, but then someone discovers that something is missing. This is because there is a lack of someone who is good at this job.
"There must be a lot of problems, so the village needs professionals like you." He led Jonah around the canteen. Jonah was very satisfied with the environment of the canteen. Such a canteen made purely of wood has a unique aesthetic.
, but the environment in the kitchen made him not know how to evaluate it, so he could only deal with it with a silly smile.
He followed Laura out of the cafeteria and stood outside the cafeteria door chatting.
"Jonah Maiava, I think he'll like it here."
Of course, Mark has considered the climate problem in Winter Village. As the top (self-proclaimed) botanist on earth, it is impossible for him to make such a stupid mistake. He has already asked David about the general climate conditions of Winter Village in various periods.
and estimated the appropriate planting time.
"Yes." Laura didn't shy away from Mark. Ever since she knew she could bring people to Winter Village, she had this idea: "I have a good friend and I want to bring him to live in Winter Village. He has
He's the chef on the Endurance."
He originally thought that the village could only survive on crops such as potatoes. If he wanted more types of vegetables and food, he could only go to Iron Tree Fort to buy them.
The most reasonable reason that Mark can think of is David, the magical village chief. After all, it is not surprising that the village chief can 'call people' from various worlds and can make the land fertile.
Jonah was not polite, he took out a pen and a small notebook, counted the various tools in the kitchen, and determined the various tools he wanted to buy.
David thought to himself, it turned out to be this person, and then nodded to Laura: "If that Jonah is willing to come and live in Winter Village, of course I can't ask for it."
There are plains to the east and south. Looking to the east and south, you can see large expanses of verdant green grass, with waves rising in the wind, like a green ocean.
"I also want to see where I will work in the future." Jonah is also curious about his future working environment. Visiting early can also determine what he needs early, and then purchase it as soon as possible.
"Hello, I'm David." He reached out and shook Jonah's hand, and David welcomed Jonah: "Welcome to Winter Village."
"Hello, I'm Jonah Maiava." Jonah is a strong man who looks very honest and honest, and he always has a friendly smile on his face, which makes it easy for people to like him.
In that case, crops that are currently unable to survive may be successfully planted and bear fruit in the future. The agricultural prospects of Lindong Village will be countless times better than he originally thought.
David knew that Jonah was embarrassed to say bad things, so after showing him around, he let Jonah study it on his own.
"Hehehe, actually I don't know why!"
"Actually, Jonah doesn't care about this, but he has always hoped to open a restaurant of his own." Laura glanced at the canteen in front of her: "This canteen won't exist for long, right?"
She knew some of David's follow-up plans and knew that David wouldn't let Winter Village stay like this small village for a long time.
"Yes, it won't be long before this place will be transformed into a hotel... or a hotel." Facilities like the canteen, like the water system, are just overused facilities that will be upgraded or eliminated over time.
At the same time, David also understood what Laura meant, and asked Jonah to be the owner of the inn. For a talent with a certain fighting ability and a very guaranteed character, this salary is really not high.
